The Knight Rises

Ch. 5 - Going Home

Ke'Shawn's POV:

Midnight ... time to head out .... we're loading up the F-150 and Jeep getting ready to head back to L.A.   Solomon asks if we have everything before locking up the cabin.  We all tell him we're good and start getting in - I'm with Malachi, Apollo and Abe in the Jeep.  Malachi starts the Jeep and looks at me as I take a deep breath while rubbing my wedding ring.  "Neveaha, baby, this is another step to get to you.  I love you and my babies, butterfly." I say to myself before kissing my ring.  "Ready bruh?" Malachi says.  I nod yes to him and he puts the Jeep in gear then we head out. 

Plan is, we get to L.A way before sunrise and under the cover of darkness to meet up with the other guys.  That's part of the plan.  This whole thing has me worried but I know that I have to do this if I'm ever gonna have my family back.  That's the most important thing - getting Nev and my babies home with me - so I can protect them.  I sigh at the thought of everything that lays in the way of that.  I put my phone on charge and throw my ear buds in, getting comfortable for the trip.  As my music plays I look out the window and think about my babies and Nev. 

Neveaha's POV: 

Midnight ...... I wake up ... out of a deep sleep, with him on my mind ... "Ke'Shawn," I whisper  as I set up.  I rub my wedding rings then grab my phone pulling up his number I have hidden.  I pull up two pictures - one of the twins and a selfie.  I pull up my messages and type a quick text.  I attach the pictures and hit send.  I hold my phone to my chest as I check the twins.  We had another camp out in the nursery tonight.  Ke'Shawn is the one who started that - so we still do it.  Hayden yawns a little as she adjusts her body - continuing her sleep.  Jayden is sleeping soundly with a little smile on his face.  I smile as I lay back down beside them putting my phone down near me.  I rub my rings again while I think of Ke'Shawn - my soul mate.  The love of my life. Besides these two little rugrats next to me - Ke'Shawn is my everything.  I married my best friend - he knows things about the Viper bullshit I went through that I never told my therapist.  I close my eyes continuing my thoughts of Ke'Shawn.

Ke'Shawn's POV: 

We're on the road and I'm still listening to my music.  Right now I'm listening to "Wait" by August Alsina thinking about lost in my thoughts of my beautiful family.  About three lines into the song my phone pings through my ear buds.  I pick it up to check the notifications and see a text from a number I don't recognize.  I hit the message and it opens as I see the message.
