Chapter #70
Scarlett’s POV
I wake up to Louri tossing and turning and muttering. “No please no more please.” She cries in her sleep. “LOURI WAKE UP!” I yell, shaking her but it doesn’t work. “Please take me instead leave her alone.” She pleads and I look at my phone. How could I be so stupid today is the anniversary of Jessica’s death. “NO! DON’T! JESSICA!!” She cries and it breaks my heart that she is hurting like this. “LOURI BABE WAKE UP!!” I scream but nothing. “NO! DON’T TOUCH HER!!” She cries. “Louri please wake up!” I say now I’m crying too. “OH GOD NO SCARLETT NO!! PLEASE NO!! NOT MY WIFE NO!! SCARLETT NO!! OH GOD BABY NO!! STAY AWAKE! YOU HAVE TO STAY ALIVE FOR THE KIDS!!” She screams ok that’s new.
Louri’s POV
Nightmare
[I’m back tied up in this damn chair as they torture my fiancie. “No more please no more.” I cry. “It’s ok Louri I can take it.” Jessica says. “Please take me instead leave her alone.” I plead but they don’t listen to my pleas. “AAAHHH!!” Jessica screams as the knife slices across her back. “NO! DON’! JESSICA!” I cry. “LOURI BABE WAKE UP!!” I hear Scarlett’s voice. “NO! DON’T TOUCH HER!!” I cry. “Louri please wake up.” I hear Scarlett’s voice again and Jessica morphs into Scarlett. “OH GOD NO SCARLETT NO!! PLEASE NO!! NOT MY WIFE NO!! SCARLETT NO!! OH GOD BABY NO!! STAY AWAKE! YOU HAVE TO STAY ALIVE FOR THE KIDS!!” I scream as I am now holding her as she bleeds out. “I love you, Louri.” Scarlett says.]
“SCARLETT!!” I wake up screaming. “I’m here Louri I’m here.” She says and I just wrap my arms around her and sob. “Jessica turned into you in the dream. It felt so real you bled out in my arms.” I cry. “Oh Baby. I’m ok you're ok. We are safe, do you hear me, we're safe.” She soothes. “I love you so much.” I tell her. “I love you too much more than I can put into words.” She says. “What can I do?” She asks. “Hold me.” I cry into her neck and she lays us down not letting me go and just holds me as I cry myself to sleep.
Scarlett’s POV
Louri cries herself to sleep in my arms. I wish I could take her pain away seeing both me and Jessica being tortured must be hell for her. I didn’t realize I was crying till I felt the tears roll down my cheeks. Soon I cry myself to sleep as well. I wake up to Devon poking me in the face. “Hey Angel.” I whisper so I don’t wake Louri. “I need cuddles.” He says cutely. “Come here Angel.” I say lifting the covers. “Why is Mama on you?” He asks. “Because just like you we like to cuddle.” I tell him. “You guys do that a lot.” He says. “It’s because Mommy is a very good cuddler.” Louri says in her very sexy morning voice and I clench my thighs making her smirk at me. “Mommy are you ok?” Devon asks. “Yeah Angel I’m fine.” I tell him. “Ok.” He shrugs and cuddles into my side. “I need energy.” Louri says, getting up but I don’t let go. “Coffee only in the morning you caffeine addict.” I tell her. “How did you? Never mind, do you want a cup?” She asks. “Yes please.” I tell her. “Ok and you want some chocolate milk little Marine?” She asks. “Yes please Mama.” He smiles. “You got it, I'll be right back.” She says, giving me a kiss. “Ew.” Devon says. “I’m allowed to kiss Mommy.” Louri says. “Ugh fine.” Devon says. “Why do you not like it when me and Mama kiss?” I ask Devon when Louri leaves. “Because you are married so you don’t have to kiss anymore.” He says, completely serious. “That’s not how it works, Angel.” I chuckle. “I don’t get it.” He says. “You will when you are older.” I tell him. “You always say that.” He says. “It’s because it’s true.” I tell him. “Ok. I trust you because you are my Mommy.” He says. “I’m glad you trust me.” I tell him. “Here you go. Coffee for my beautiful wife and chocolate milk for my little Marine.” Louri says coming in with a tray with two cups of coffee and a glass of chocolate milk for Devon. He is a lot like Louri and is always up early. The twins should be up in about an hour. “Mama?” Devon says. “What is it, little Marine?” She asks. “Why do you scream in your sleep?” He asks and Louri and I freeze fuck. “I have post traumatic stress disorder and it causes me to have really bad dreams and sometimes I yell in my sleep.” She says ok I didn’t expect her to say that. “But your Mommy always saves me.” She smiles at me. “Oh that sounds scary.” Devon says. “It can be. But I’m ok because I have your Mommy who always makes me feel better and Devon cuddles help too.” She says. “Can we have ice cream for breakfast to make Mama feel better?” He asks. “Nice try but no.” I tell him. “Ugh you two don’t know how to have fun.” He says dramatically. “Hey, I know how to have fun.” Louri says offended. “Yeah we know how to have fun.” I say. “I guess.” He says taking a sip of his chocolate milk. “Have we been roasted by a five year old?” I ask Louri. “Yeah he’s definitely my son.” She chuckles.A/N
