Chapter Seventeen . . . Cream Of the Crop
Tyler's POV
I watched as the bastard held down Kristine and held the knife towards he face, teasing her with it, like you would a kid with candy. I felt my knuckles tighten and my head spin with rage. My fiance and baby were in there and these so-called police men weren't doing anything.
"I want you in there now!" I yelled. We were in the woods and I could see what was happening. I wanted to do something. God how I wanted to do something but the damn officers handcuffed me to a pole.
"We're getting there. She's not in danger."
"What! He has a knife held towards her!"
"Mr. Cassidy needs Miss Winchester he will not kill here." He said and I began tugging at my cuffs.
"Sir, he's . . ." The talking was coming from the walkie talkie the officer infront of me was holding but it was cut off by static.
"Get in there!" I yelled. Fear was eating my heart and gut away. I needed Kristine and I needed her now.
I pulled even more on my cuffs trying to get free, but the only result I got was blood that was dripping down my hand. The sound of a gunshot made me freeze in my place.

Kristine's POV
Josh straddled my waist and held my hands above my head in one strong hand while the other one held a knife and was slowly dragging it down my face not hard enough to draw blood but enough to scare the hell out of me.
"Kristine, why couldn't you just cooperate with me. Now look at all the trouble you got yourself into and that little girl of yours." I froze when he began talking about Sierra, but I snapped out of it and went into rage mode.
"You lay one hand on her and I swear that I will kill you." He laughed at thatt one.
"How can you kill me when you yourself are dead." He ran his knife down my neck and stopped at me stomach. He stopped and lifted up my shirt revealing my bullet proof vest. "Oh you got to be kidding me." He ripped the vest off with one swift movement and through it to the side. "Where's the trust Kristine? Where's the . . ." He trailed off when he saw my swollen stomach.
He dropped the knife with a cling and touched my stomach I instantly squirmed underneath. "Stop!" I whispered/yelled.
He raised his fist up in the air and aiming it at my stomach. "Stop moving!" I instantly listened to his demand and he gently layed his hand on my stomach again, just feeling.
"Who's?" He asked quietly.
"It doesn't matter." His eyes shot daggers at me.
"OF COURSE IT MATTERS!" He yelled and let spit fly in my face.
"Why?" I whispered gently.
"Because they touched what's mine!" He moved down gently and kissed my stomach. "Can it be mine?" He asked softly and I scoffed.
"Never." I said making him sigh.
"Well that's just too bad for the both of you isn't it?" He picked his knife back up and ran it down my stomach. "If you just say you're mine I can save you, all of you."
"No." I said and waited for my death. He sighed once more and raised his blade.
So this was how I was going to die. After experiencing abuse, pain, loss of innocence, and love I was going to go out by a man with a knife while pregnant.
I closed my eyes tight and waited for the pain, but instead a gunshot went off making me jump. I opened one eye and saw Josh holding his arm in pain. His knife was on the ground and was forgotten. I quickly grabbed and held it in a shaky hand.
"Let me see your hands!" I heard a familiar voice yell. I looked over Josh and saw the police officer holding a gun at him while his squad came through and quickly put Josh in handcuffs.
I sighed and layed against the ground as they got the pressure off of me. "Josh Cassidy, you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent . . ." The officer was quickly cut off.
"YOU BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU I SWEAR! I'M GOING TO SLAUGHTER YOU AND THAT BABY!" He yelled while the officers struggled to get him out.
"Kristine!" I heard but not from Josh but from Tyler. He quickly ran over to my side and lifted my upper body up and rested my head in his lap. One of his hand went through my hair while the other went to my belly, rubbing it gently.
Laughter from Josh roared in the small room. "You are kidding me right? Him? He's the baby daddy! He's the one you've been screwing. That's hilarious." I froze when he said that and I felt Tyler do so too.
"Mr. Cassidy, let's go." The officer pulled him away again but Tyler and I still heard the harsh words come from his mouth.
Another officer walked over to us. The one who shot Josh and looked at us with a questioning and hard look on his face.
"Anything you guys have to say?" I looked at Tyler with a scared face but he played it cool.
"No, sir."
"Oh really?" He said annoyed. "So you're telling me," I held my breath as he continued, "that you're not pregnant?" I opened my eyes and let out the breath.
"Yes, sir. I am." I replied and waited for them to take Tyler away in cuffs, but instead the officer sighed but smiled.
"Well congratulations, and by the way, what the hell were you thinking coming into this while pregnant? If you would of said you were pregnant we would of went a different route, and you and your baby would be completely safe." He helped me to my feet and Tyler stood next to me, protectively. "Who's the father?"
"I-uh-he's in the military."
"Hmm. . . ." He said and continued, "Well he's a lucky man." He looked at Tyler and winked knowingly. I gasped and Tyler gently squeezed my shoulders. "You know that Josh kid is a real creep saying that you were the father just to get the attention away from himself, right?" I instantly nodded making the cop laugh. "Well, let's get you home, huh? We got your family waiting for you."
"Thank you." I whispered and leaned into Tyler. I was exhausted.
I turned and looked at Tyler with sad eyes. "Carry me?" He smiled but picked me up and carried me to the car where you both sat inside and waited for the police officer to drive us home. I looked at Tyler who looked at me worriedly.
"I'm fine." I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach. "and he is too." I looked down at his wrist and saw that they were cut and bloody. "What happened?" He pulled his hands away and ran his fingers through my hair.
"Another time. You just rest." I smiled and grabbed his hand and kissed his palm.
"I love you."
"I love you too, now rest." I leaned against the seat and Tyler and instantly fell asleep
