Chris POV

I woke up and looked down to see a sleeping Jen on my chest, I couldn't believe how unbelievably lucky I was to wake up to this amazing women everyday. We were still taking things slow, she has to build her trust in me before we could take our relationship any further and I was okay with that. She had been through so much, I didn't want to push. But looking at her right now made it very difficult for me to keep my feelings in. The simple fact was I had fallen in love with her, I had a long time ago but I don't want to scare her.....

"Morning handsome" she looked up at me with those beautiful brown eyes and smiled.
"Good morning beautiful, did you sleep okay?"
"I did thank you, I always do when I'm with you"
She always knew how to melt my heart, I smiled down at her and gave her a soft kiss on her lips.
"Mmmmmmm, I'll never get tired of you doing that" she giggled
"Me either baby" just as I was about to kiss her again, we heard Jensen shouting from the living room.
"Duty calls" she says as she gets out of bed wrapping her robe around her
I admired everything about her, she was not only an incredible mother but just an amazing women.
I got up, and walked into the living room, Jake was crying and Jensen was shouting.
"Hey, what happened?" I said as Jake came running over to me, I swept him up and he had his little arms wrapped around my neck squeezing me tight. I looked at Jen and she just shrugged.
"Jensen what happened?" She knelt down asking him
"Mummy, there was a man, he was stood in the garden and he was staring at us"
I quickly gave Jake to Jen and ran outside, I couldn't see anyone, there wasn't a sign anyone had been out there.
I walked back in and Jake was still clinging to his mums neck, Jen looked worried and I knew why. She thought it was him. Maybe he had come back.
We calmed the boys down and headed into the kitchen, I made breakfast for everyone and I noticed Jen was very quiet.
I told the boys to go pop a movie in, while me and Jen cleaned up.
Jen was stood staring at the back door, I came up behind her and put my arms around her waist, she flinched, she was crying, we had made so much progress and now she looked just as broken as she did that night at her house.
"Jen, please talk to me"
"What if he was here Chris? What if he has found us? I can't keep living like this, it's not fair on you or the boys"
"Hey, look at me. We don't know if it was him, maybe the boys just saw a shadow or something, I don't know but we will figure this out. I promise"
Jen looked at me with those eyes that take my breath away and pulled my lips to hers, she gave me one of the most passionate kisses she has ever given me, it made me let out a low moan and my hands instantly went straight to her legs to pick her up. Before I could she pulled away.
"I'm sorry, I just got carried away"
"No, don't apologise, you have been so patient with me and I'm sorry that I'm not there yet, I'm sorry I'm making you wait"
"You don't ever have to apologise to me, I'll wait forever for you"
"Why do you always just know the right thing to say"
"Because I'm awesome, obviously" I gave her a little wink and hugged her tight, she let out that little giggle that just melts me.
I knew I had to do something to keep her safe, her and the boys.

Jen POV

Chris stood there holding me, I could hear the boys giggling at whatever movie they were watching and I should have been happy. I should have been smiling from ear to ear but I knew something wasn't right. He was here, I could feel it and I didn't know what he was going to do next.
I shuddered and Chris noticed he pulled me tighter and I wanted to just melt into this man but I couldn't. I had to do something before the 3 most important people in my life got hurt.
But I just didn't know what yet.

Chris had called the police and let them know what Jensen had said, they said they would make sure to have a car patrol the area, see if they could see anyone lurking around.

I found it hard to sleep, I kept checking on the boys every hour to make sure they were okay. I got back into bed and looked at Chris, he was sound asleep, he was the perfect man, he couldn't be anymore perfect, he said he would wait forever for me. He was so patient and kind, he had taken not only me but my children into his home and he was keeping us safe. I couldn't ask for anyone better. I was falling in love with this man, hell I already am in love with this man. But how could I love him when I know I'm going to end up getting him hurt. I couldn't do that to him.

I didn't know what to do, I sat there in bed and silently cried, I must have fallen asleep at some point because I woke up with the sun blazing in the window. I turned over and Chris wasn't there. I looked at the clock and it was 11am, I'd slept late, I jumped up out of bed and walked to the kitchen, before i entered, I heard Chris talking to the boys.
"Chris, why was mummy come in and out of our room all night?"
"She was? She was just making sure you were okay that's all, she is your mummy after all and she loves you boys more then anything in world"
"She is the best mummy ever, do you love our mummy Chris?" Jensen asked him
I held my breath, I didn't know what he would say, I stood there eagerly waiting to know his answer, before he could Jake saw me and ran to me
"Mummy, your awake!"
"Yeah I am baby boy, what are you guys doing?"
"Oh you know, just guy chat! Good morning princess"
"Good morning, thank you for letting me sleep"
"It's okay, according to the boys you were up and down most of the night" he gave me a questioning look
"Yeah couldn't sleep" I smiled at him, trying to make him see I was okay, even if he knew I wasn't.

After breakfast, we lounged around for a while, it was November now and I really needed to get started on Christmas shopping, so Chris said he would take the boys to school while I went shopping. It was so much easier going on my own.
The boys had wrote there letters to Santa so I knew what they wanted from him, I just wasn't sure what to get them from myself.

I was walking through the town, looking at the window displays, not really thinking about anything in particular, I had one head phone in and was listening to Xmas songs.
I felt someone behind me, I turned around and I saw those eyes, those eyes, I had seen so many times, they were filled with anger. He was here right in front of me and I didn't know what to do. I was surrounded by people but I couldn't get my voice to say anything. I started walking backwards, my eyes never leaving his, he was smiling at me. He started to follow me. I reached for my phone and quickly dialled Chris.
"Hey beautiful, how's shopping going? Baby? Jen? What's going on?"
"He is here Chris, I'm looking right at him"
"Baby, what do you mean?"
"He was following me, and now he is stood here and I don't know what to do?"
"Are you in a public place?"
"Yes"
"Okay, find a police officer, they are always around"
"I can't see any Chris, I'm scared"
"Okay, can you see the big tree in the middle of the town?"
"Yeah I can see it"
"Head there, I'm coming baby"

I hung up from Chris and called the police, I explained what was happening and they said they would trace my phone and send a car asap.

Just I was walking I felt myself walk into someone, I turned to say sorry and I was frozen....she was here too. My mother. The women who had given birth to me, she was stood here, smiling at me, I looked down and she was holding a gun, she pushed it into my stomach and told me to walk. I did. She walked me to an alley, and then he appeared.

"Hey, baby girl" and that's when I knew Chris or the police wouldn't be able to make it in enough time. This was where I was going to die.
