The Chosen One

New Title

----Ben

When I woke up, Alex, Liam, and my father were standing over my bed.  "Damn.  She should have aimed higher."  My father said.

"That bitch better be gone."  I said.

"No, she doesn't need to leave.  You will be once you recover.  You broke the rule."

"She fucking stabbed me."  I asked.

"She did what she had to to protect herself."  My father said.  He grabbed me by the throat.  "I told you.  You stay away from her and you stay away from the rest of the women on this compound.  Once you are mobile and fit for travel you will be leaving."  He said.  "If you break my rule again before your departure I will kill you myself."  He let go and I coughed.

----Melinda

"So who is the father?"  Larissa asked.

"I won't know until it's born."  I said.

"Two men.  I can barely keep up with Cam."  Carly said.  I smiled sitting back in my chair.

"It just happened and I don't care.  It's not wrong.  The world went to hell and it was just us."

"No judgment here.  Someone has to satisfy those needs.  You were just lucky enough to find two guys to do so."  Larissa said.

Liam walked over.  "Alex is getting ready to go on a run.  I'm staying behind.  He wants a proper goodbye."  He said.  "Ladies."  He said with a nod.  Liam held out his hand and I took it.  He helped me up.

"Catch ya later."  Larissa said.  Liam's hand brushed my back as we walked home.

"Bragging about having two husbands?"  Liam asked.

"I don't have rings yet."  I said.  He smirked and gave me a soft kiss.

"You will soon."  He said.  "I'll give you time alone with Alex.  I get you tonight."  He said.  "Don't worry.  I promise to be as gentle as possible."  He said.  He kissed me again and his hand slid from mine as I went inside.

Alex had just finished a shower when I came in.  "Showering before a run?"  I asked.

"I have to smell good when I get in those pants."  He said pulling me into his arms.

"Someone is making it more difficult."  I said referring to my pregnant belly.  He smiled.

"I can work with that."  He said untying my sweatpants letting them drop.  He tugged off my shirt and sat down pulling me into his lap.

I was laying beside him sometime later after successfully finishing three or four times.  He really was an excellent lover and so was Liam.

"Promise you'll come back in one piece."  I said.

"I promise.  I've got a baby to come back to.  I still think she's mine."  He said.

"She?"  I asked.

"Just a guess."  He said with a smile.

"I'd be fine with a boy or a girl."  I said.

----Alex

I gave Melinda a long hug and kiss at the gate before getting in the car to leave.  Liam nodded at me as he took his place with our woman.  He put his arm around her.  "Be careful and stay out of trouble."  I said to Melinda.

"Always."  She said.  "I love you.  See you in a week."

"I love you.  See you."  I said.  "Liam, take care of her."

"She is not going to be lifting a finger."  He said.

----Melinda

I was in the kitchen making dinner with Liam's help.  "He's going to be okay."  He said kissing my hair.

"I know."  I said.  "Liam?"  I asked.

"Hm?"  He asked leaning beside me.

"I asked Alex the same question.  If it's not yours, will you be angry?"  I asked.

"No."  He said.  "The baby will have two dads and a beautiful mommy.  Why?  Is someone giving you a hard time again?"  He asked.

"Not really."  I said.  "I just want you to be happy."

"I am happy.  I don't mind sharing."  He said.
