His Lost Trouble

Chapter 16

"He finally signed the divorce papers that she filed after Little One turned one and has willingly relinquished his rights," Owen said holding up the papers. "He gave up all rights, paid to have his name removed from her birth certificate, moved to have all back child support removed since he is giving up all rights, and requested to never have contact. She asked for nothing in the divorce, not even spousal support, and he is forcing her to take all their debt since he admits he put everything in her name. He agrees to a clean break as long as there is never any contact of any sort in the future."

"Fucking hell," Gabe mumbled as he gently rocked his Trouble who was clinging to him for dear life. She was shaking and he hated it. He could feel some blood seeping into his shirt but he didn't give a fucking shit at this moment. "Color?" he whispered and she bit his chest making him groan. She pulled back in shock and he smiled softly, "It's alright Trouble, just listen to my heart."

"Can't," She sobbed, "too much, too much. Five...five...five."

"I'm here," He said soothingly. "You don't have to do this alone anymore. I'm here and not going anywhere. I'm not losing you again. I'm here and my brothers are here. We have you. We have you." He moved her head back to his chest and held her there, feeling every time she flinched and sobbed as Sean bandaged her hands. "I'm here Trouble. I finally have you back and I'm never letting you go again. Nothing can take me or my brothers away from you ever again, I promise. I'm never losing you again."

"Too much," She sobbed, "too much...fi...fi...five," She sobbed. "Go...go..."

"I'll never go away again Trouble," He said trying to remain strong for her. "I swear Trouble, you'll never lose me again."

"She's probably just kept everything bottled up for so many years," Axel spoke softly, "Now that she has you, her safety net, everything is just pouring out. She finally feels safe enough to not carry it all but she's scared it will be too much for you and lose you again."

"I know," Gabe kissed the top of head. "It will never happen. Nothing you do or have gone through will push me or my brothers away."

"There we go, Pookie," Sean said as he finished bandaging her hands.

She whimpered when she realized she couldn't grasp Gabe's shirt. "It's alright Trouble," He chuckled when she bit his shirt, "I'm right here."

"Mommy," Iris' voice came down the hallway making Amy tense up.

"I got her," Kota said clearing his throat. "I'll take her in the backyard to play with Max."

"Thanks Kota," Gabe mumbled as he ran his fingers through Amy's hair.

"Meamie," She whimpered rubbing her face into his soaked shirt. "No."

"Alright Trouble," He said removing the earbuds and moved her ear back to his chest. "That better?" She whimpered again and he slowly sighed, "I'm here Trouble, you're Meanie is here. I'll make it all better one way or another. We will make it through this, I promise." He looked up at the remaining group and let a tear slip through, "We will make it through this Trouble, I promise."

"I'm going to get Kota and Sweet Pea and we are going to get stuff to fix the room," Victor whispered to Owen. Gabe just nodded as he held his crying Trouble. "We'll get stuff for their new rooms and things for her playroom since I highly doubt anyone wants them going back to her place. Safe to say they are now living with us?"

"Agreed," Owen nodded. "I'm sure some of us will have no problem going to that house and packing it up. She can go through their belongings on another day. Right now we just need to let Gabriel help her through this and be there for them when they need us."

"I'll go with you," Silas and Brandon said as they left with Victor.

"I go pack," Raven nodded as he left the room, "Corey come." Corey nodded and left after Raven.

"I'll go help," Nathan and North said in unison.

"There's moving boxes and totes in the barn," Gabe mumbled as he shifted and smirked when he felt her tighten her body against him, "I'm right here Trouble, I'm not letting go. You can be clingy, it's alright. I got you. We have you, my sweet needy Trouble." He kissed the top of her head and she whimpered. "Everything will be okay Trouble. Just keep trusting your Meanie."
