Protective Arms (Completed)

63. It Is Over

What is with this prick? How the hell did he get his hands on an automatic machine gun? The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on mine is because if I do he will spray bullets right at us if he pulls the trigger when going down.

Brit and Chief must be on the same track because they are tense as I am. We are on rocky grounds here and he knows it. Another gun point he has got us in where he has the upper hand once again.

"I got this lovely addition with the car parked up the street. Imagine my surprise when I am fixing to drive by to some random house where the phones pinged locations only to see you all getting out here. I just couldn't help myself but to come get my loves that are sadly hiding back there." Dason smirks like he has got away with this.

"Not smart stealing a drug dealers car." Chief clips back to him.

"What do I have to loose? They were dumb enough to leave the keys in the ignition along with a set of clothes and this beauty. I am a dead man walking either way, between those two getting me on death row and then the drug dealer. The only thing I want is to take out my loves before I go so they can be with me in the afterlife."

He motions to Brit and I, good to know he is blaming us. We can work that angle especially to get the girls to safety. Hopefully.

I seen cameras when we pulled up, so I know Chief has them working. My hope is that Susan is seeing all of this and put in a call for back up.

This has turned awkward as we all stand here guns trained on him and he seems to just be waiting for us to hand the girls over. That won't happen, it is one of those over my dead body saying.

I am a little shocked that Athena is not even shaking, her hands just stay still and calm on the back of my shirt. It honestly helps me to stay focused better and puffs up my ego because she knows I won't let him get to her.

Out of the side of my eye, cruisers from more Officers are pulling in and we hold our ground on Dason.

A siren goes off and Dason turns to look to the side. As his head turns so does his hand holding the gun. The three of us take our shoots and fire. Hitting him and making him fall to the ground like a rock.

The sound of all three guns being fired is deafening. I can feel Athena jump behind me slightly along with Chas, as Athena's hand tightened and pulled my shirt painful against my throat and chest.

Brit and I hold our guns up staying aimed at Dason's body as a precaution. Chief turns and gets Molly behind me too, before he slowly walks up to the body kicking the weapon away and checking for a pulse.

"It is over. The suspect is down." He calls out and the other Offficers relax the same time Brit and I do.

Holstering my gun, I spin to check the girls. Athena let's my shirt go and stands tall along with the others. None of them are crying but almost seem like there is a relief that goes across their faces.

"He is gone." Molly finally sighs out in a whisper.

"It is officially over." Athena wraps her arms around me attacking my lips.

I respond to the kiss and grant her entrance when she nibbles on my bottom lip. After a few seconds shorter than I would have liked, we pull away and I kiss her forehead.

Susan steps out of the house and runs for the Chief, who catches her easily in his arms.

We stick around until the coroner comes to collect the body. During the wait Chief pulls out clip boards and we sit on the grass filing out the report just so it is done and we are free to go once the body is collected. Chief ran inside and got everything off his home cameras for evidental proof and to help seal this case for good.

Athena's parents arrive to fill in their area for the report on where we went there first. The Officers that was taking them to a different house turned around once they got word on him being down.

I take Athena's hand after everything is done for the day.

"It has been to long since getting in action. Now I know why I prefer being Chief and having the desk job, that is to much for this old mans blood pressure." Chief laughs.

We chuckle and he bids us a good afternoon.

I drive to our house and open the door for Athena. Once inside the house, I pull her into my arms and kiss her more.

"You done so well today Precious."

Athena gives me a small smile and looks off to the side. She pulls me with her up to the counter and I see the bag.

"Did I miss something?" I think over and I didn't miss her birthday and our anniversary is not here yet.

"No, you didn't miss anything. It is the only bag I could find for what I have for you." Athena laughs.

Her lips find mine again and I grow rock hard. I pick Athena up and sit her on the counter to where I can stand between her legs.

"We have to stop for like two minutes then I want you in the bedroom naked." Athena smirks.

I shake my head. "Okay, Precious. What's on your mind?" I breath a little heavy with how excited my friend below has gotten and making it everything painfully hard.

"Open it." Athena slides the bag over.

My fingers fumble with the strings she tied on the top and it gets me anxious to open so I can get nestled into her heated core.

My fingers find something cold and hard. Taking it out of the bag, I look at it and see it is a nice coffee mug.

"You see I had something that helped keep me calm through it all today too. I had to keep someone safe myself." Athena whispers, kissing my neck.

I read the words and they register.

"I am going to be a dad. You're pregnant?"

Athena nods smiling wide at me. "No one knows yet, I just found out a few days ago myself. We are only about seven weeks in so it is still early."

I put the mug down and pick her up gently. Carrying her to our bedroom, I slowly worship every inch of her body as I undress her.

This has made me so happy and I show her just how much by the slow love, I pour into her all night long.
