Family Love 💠 [1]

My Girl

I held Charlottes hand as we walk down the street together, We were on our way to see Henry. We worked out Charlotte is five as well which is nice but led to the question of school. After everything we decided to wait, let her lead us for a bit. James was ten, Mia twelve, Riley five and Caleb fourteen.

I walk steps and straight to the desk. "Now what do we owe this pleasure I thought that husband of yours band you from working" "yeah we are both mad at each other" she shakes his head "have anything to do with Adam being allowed back up there" I sigh "part of it other part is he wanted to barter a child to see if Justin is ready for a sibling" she shakes her head "men" I nod "and how are you miss" Trudy ask Charlotte who's looking around in wonder. "Good" Charlotte answers nodding "hey I'm just happy I have company that Henry didn't send" Trudy laughs at my comment before buzzing us up.

We walk into intelligence, Charlotte skipping up the steps. All eyes were on us. Charlotte weakly waves making the all smile. Henry comes out of his office as Adam comes over and hugs me. "Thank you" I smile nodding knowing what he was talking about. "Are you meant to be resting" Jay asks as Henry just watching us "I am but I can't sit at home or I will go insane" they all laugh. I watch Charlotte skip over to Henry, who immediately diverts his attention from me to her. "Hi" "hi are you having fun" she nods to his question looking around "I never had a daddy" she tells him "can you be my daddy" there was silence you could hear a pin drop. "He called me Alice I liked that name" she continued "we can call you Alice" he offers "no I like Charlotte to but I miss Alice" I rubs her chin "he was mean your nice like mumma Penny can you be my daddy" she asks again this time there was enough time for him him answer. "If that's what you like" she jumps into his arms making me smile. If only life was that simple for all of us. "You alright" I look over at Al that who was no in front of me "um yeah" "yeah cause your normally over there with him but your here" I sigh rubbing my swollen stomach "he bartered a child or what we to" he looks confused "he had good intentions but he said Justin could take a kid in so we could know if his ready for a sibling" I sigh "I know he meant it as a joke he wasn't serious and I'm pregnant so I'm probably overreacting I'm just you can't say that" Al wraps his arms around me "your to caring Lillie always have been you care so so deeply it's a miracle you and Hank even lasted this long" I rest my head on his chest as he holds me. "I love him more than life itself" "I know I have seen how far you both would go for each other and how far you push each other" Al told me rubbing her back. "His the most important thing in my life Justin I love him but his an adult with his own life all I have is Henry" I tell him "how bout I take you for lunch we are only doing paperwork and Charlotte there is busy with Hank something tells me you need to talk" I nod waiting for him by the steps. While he goes to tell Henry who looks and me and nods.

I sit in a random diner opposite Al. I had chips and a drink I wasn't super hungry. "So what's going on" I tilt my head confused "you need to talk about something I have know you for what twenty years maybe longer" I rub my stomach. "I don't know" I shake my head "what's going on in that head of yours Lillie" he pried causing me to sigh "I don't know" I repeat this time he allows me to get my thought just watching me "I just have this feeling I can't describe it I'm alone all the time I hate it" "you always hated being alone" Al smirks at me causing me to nod "now you have Charlotte" I nod thinking of the blonde little girl that somehow managed to capture my heart within seconds "Henry is working and I'm just there I can't call Justin cause I practically pushed him to make his life I want" "you want the best for everyone you always have your alway the one that makes sure everyone is ok" I run my hair through my hair "allow people to help you to Lillie let them show they care" I sigh "I do" "no you don't your need to care for everyone takes over and you forget about your needs" I rub my stomach "how bout you pick Lexi up from school a couple times a week she loves you and would love to spend time with you" I nod "I'll ask her what days she stays back some days I'll message you" I nod "you forget you made this family you have all these people around you let them care for you" I sigh "I don't think Henry will let Adam" Al laughs "he was furious when Adam called to tell him he lost you" "I can imagine" I stir my tea "Adam turned up not long later I thought Hank would kill him just by the way he was looking at him"Al takes a sip of his soda before continuing"if there one rule Hank has it's keep his precious Lillie Safe" I smile nodding "the amount of cases he almost threw to protect me" i laugh out "you only became a cop for him didn't you" I look at him confused "my grandfather was a cop I always wanted that to be like him the stories he told me" I smile at the memories "my father was a firefighter its why I became a firefighter their memory's make them proud and all" "you made them proud but I think truthfully you are a mother and family woman first" he tells me smiling "I know you love solving cases but you hate the in between you came in to make sure everyone in the unit is ok" I listen to his words rubbing my stomach "spend time with you kids Lillie and by that I don't just mean Justin and Charlotte. I mean all those people you class as your kids that drive Hank insane" I smile thinking of them "put your effort into that and this little baby" I smile "speaking of would you be the babies godfather" he smiles widely "Henry wanted to be here to tell you but I couldn't wait" he laughs "of course...who's Justin's godparents" "my sister" "how is Cathrine haven't seen her in a long time" "she's in Washington" I run my hand through my hair "she's having problems with her husband she's thinking of coming with her two kids to see me" he nods

I was walking down the street beside Al. My phone was buzzing causing my to immediately pull it out. Seeing Justin's name on the screen don't hesitate to answer. "Hey handsome boy" "mum" I could feel the panic in his voice. He sounded frantic. "What's wrong" I stop startling Al who was how holding my arm. I could hear Justin's heavy breathing. "Where are you" "home" "stay there" "ok ok ok" his panic fear made me worried. I hung up I look at Al. "Can you drop me off at Justin's something happened" he nods "of course" he led me to the car helping me inside. Before getting in and driving off himself.
