The interior of my office was unusually dark my chair faced the floor length window that looked over Seattle. There was this eerie feeling of someone else inside the room with me but I shook it off and went to the cafeteria to grab a cup of English Breakfast Tea.
Absentmindedly, I returned to my office the chair was now facing me and then I knew something of was up. I turned around quickly to get out but he blocked the door. The one person I thought I'd never see again.
"Never thought you'd see me again did you Ana?" Jack asked a slight smirk on his face. "I guess that's a no but Ana I'd wait for this day for so long when I'd take back something from you that you loved."
Is he joking? The look in his eyes told me otherwise he was serious as a heart attack. "Bring him here," he said motioning for someone to come. Was it Christian? The person brought forth a small person dressed in nothing but pajamas. Oh my God Teddy!
"Say bye bye to mommy." The bastard cooed pulling a gun to my sons head and the the gunshot went off.
"No!" I screamed "How could you!?"
Large hands held on to my shoulders jerking me awake. My eyes shot open to see a worried Christian looking do at me.
"Ana? It was just a dream baby." He whispers holding me close to his chest as warm liquids run down my cheek.
"He was going to kill him Christian. He was going to kill Teddy, he was going to take my baby boy away from me." I cried into his chest.
"Who was going to kill him?" He asks looking down on me.
"Jack" I whisper looking into his eyes. Jack was the one in my dream the one who'd take my child away from me.
"Nobody is going to take Teddy away from us okay?" I nod my head trying to believe the words he'd just said. Reluctantly my eyes squeezed shut and I was off to sleep.
***************
The morning sun shone inside the room through the already pale curtains. Glancing quickly at the clock on the bedside table I notice that it is only 5:30 am. A yawn escapes whilst rolling over on my back only to find a cold and empty space beside me. Its very early in the morning where could Christian be?
Signing, I rose from bed wrapping my robe around me and heading downstairs only to find Christian pacing while taking to someone on the phone.
"I can't tell her .... Because she's pregnant you little shit ..." He sighs waiting on the person on the other line. "Just tell mom exactly what is happening and warn Mia." He instructed turning towards me. "Elliot I have to go." With that he hung up.
"Hey, why are you up so early?" he asks softly. His hair is all rugged from the multiple times he ran his hands through it, my eyes scan down to look at his attire, in the mornings when he wasn't going to work he only wore pajamas but now he was dressed in his work attire can't say we'll be seeing a lot him today.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" He presses and I know he's referring to the dream I had last night. I nod walking around him to head to the kitchen.
"What were you guys talking about?" It just came up out of nowhere but deep down I felt I had the right know.
Hesitantly he walked into the kitten behind me, " We were talking about upgrading the family's security." Its short no details. My boiling point is nearing.
98
"Why are you upgrading security?" I ask taking down a bowl to make pancakes.
He does it again. Short, no details. " There's someone out there who's a target to our family."
99
"Who's that?" Wait for it .... Wait ... Wait
"I can't tell you." And there it is.
100
"You can't or you won't tell me?" My voice came out rather calm and soothing in contrast to the anger boiling inside me.
"I won't."
Instead of screaming on the top of my lungs at him I did what a lady would've done I smiled sweetly at him packing back the contents of what was supposed to be breakfast and pack them back into the cupboard.
"I'm going to work. You'll need to wake up Teddy soon since he has school." I said walking back to our room all the way upstairs. His footsteps follow behind me in a rushed manner.
"You can't go to work Ana, its not safe." He was so close but the stubborn part of him had to take over.
"Unless you tell me why exactly work isn't safe I am going to work."
"For fuck's sake Ana." He growls glaring at me anger evident in his eyes.
"No you don't get to be mad. You don't deserve to be mad I'm the one who's supposed to be angry." My throat tightened. "You hide everything from me I have to actually beg you tell me what's going on and it's not fair. We are together in this and when it gets sticky you push a fucking way." The tears stroll freely down my cheek. That's the one thing I hate about being pregnant. The whirlwind of emotions.
I look him dead in the eye before looking him straight in the eye and turning away from him. If doesn't want to tell me anything I'll have to find out myself. Ana, pack your bags we are going on a adventure; my subconscious says already packing her bags.
