His Only

Chapter 72

"Mistress I must not. He is a madman. I must protect you at all times!" The man expresses and Kaitlyn rolls her eyes losing her patience. She dug into her belt and took out the spare knife sending it towards the thick rope which bound the man to the cement. She didn't care if her aim wasn't perfect but she didn't need the man. Unfortunately, it went into the rope making the man free himself with just a tug. He loosened his hands and legs quickly and took the knife smiling wickedly.

"Don't interfere" she told her men and smiled back at him. He readied his knife in his hand and made a leap to it, the adrenaline rush inside of Kaitlyn flourished and she loved every bit of the moment while it lasted. Hunger crawling up her skin she reached into her back while the man began his leap.

"This is for Nico you bit-"

Before she could draw her gun for the kill, a sharp bullet goes through his head, and his body drops dead on the ground, coloring the sand crimson red. Kaitlyn's instincts reached in, and she drew her gun towards the direction the bullet came. Her nerves calmed when she found her husband furiously storming her side, yet she didn't lower her gun, "I had him, you know!" she scolded,

"The fuck you did" Ricardo sped walked until Kaitlyn's gun was against his chest, "Kaitlyn put down the gun. We're going-" he doesn't get to finish his sentence because the sand underneath her feet becomes wet and Kaitlyn feels a sudden rush of warmth under her. Her breath hitched, and the gun in her hand fell to the ground.

Her chest felt heavy as she looked down on the wet ground, the reality settling that her baby was going to come. Her heart started to pound rapidly in her chest, and she looked up at Ricardo, who was still processing what had happened.

"I thought you weren't due for a week?!" He asked, tucking his gun behind him and getting a guy to store Kaitlyn's one unloaded and safe.

"Why don't you ask your daughter!" Kaitlyn shouts sarcastically, holding onto her stomach.

"Okay! Okay! Let's get you to the hospital, and then I'll ask her myself" he jokes and holds onto Kaitlyn's hand. He instantly regrets it because she squeezes it so tight he can feel it turning blue. She hisses in agony as a contraction hits. The pressure in her lower abdomen was heavy as it was the beginning of her contractions.

"Forget it" he says and snakes his arms under her knees and back. He carries her bridal style carefully out of the prison and into a readied vehicle. When he tried to buckle her in, she refused, saying it would only worsen the pain, and he nodded, closing the passenger seat door and jumping into the driving seat. "Avvisa Marcus ed Emily che Kaitlyn è entrata in travaglio e dì loro di rimanere con mio figlio. Manderò loro l'indirizzo" _Notify Marcus and Emily that Kaitlyn's gone into Labor, and tell them to stay with my son. I will send them the address_ he informs Giovani and gets into the vehicle to drive to the nearest hospital.

5 minutes into the drive, Ricardo could hear Kaitlyn breathing heavily. She was performing a breathing exercise that Valerie had taught her when the contractions began. It supposedly helped the contractions loosen her core more easily and gave her more time in between her contractions. "Are you alright?" He asks, driving as fast as he can.

"Ugh... It's died down for now, but it isn't over until she's out" in a vehicle alone with Ricardo was a relief because she didn't think she could pretend as if nothing was wrong if a driver was driving them. Something about having others who weren't close to her always made her keep herself a certain way. "She's kicking... like football kicking" Kaitlyn hisses, holding her stomach,

"Shit! Kait, hold on. We're 10 minutes away"

Seeing how stressed he'd got, Kaitlyn kept her hand on his, gently squeezing him. "We've got a little bit of time, Ric. Just get us there safe" it was ensuring to watch how concerned Ricardo was over everything, she'd expected him to be the calm one in the process but he was far from it and overthinking every detail, his only aim was to make Kaitlyn as comfortable as she wants and that meant getting to the hospital before the baby was born in the vehicle.
