Unenforceable

Part 20

Cole's POV
I signed the papers and smiled at the governor. He smiled an evil smile back. I knew he wouldn't be happy so I didn't find it surprising. I turned my back and walked to Cleo's apartment and on the way dropped the papers in my new office. I walked into her apartment that was deserted. I looked around, no sign of any one. I then heard a scream and I turned to face the way it was, the bedroom. I ran to open the door but it was locked. No no no this was not happening. If they were locked in the bedroom and she screamed, that meant they were doing only one thing. I banged against the door but it didn't budge. I went through the doors looking for a key, come on it had to be here. I finally didn't find a key but I did find one if Cleo's hair clips. I stuck it in the lock and key sites for it to click, it didn't. People did this in movies it can't be that hard. I tried again and it still failed. Third time I heard a click and the door opened. Parker was sitting onto of her and Cleo looked limp, I swear if she was dead. He jumped up and reached for his gun. Unsteady he shot and it missed. I ran toward the twins were I saw another gun. Bang another shot fired and it grazed my shoulder. God it hurt but I didn't stop. I reached the gun and bang one more that was meant for my head but I ducked. I fired one clear shot and it hit the bed post and bounced off and hit him. It didn't kill but it distracted him. I shot again and it went strait into his stomach, I must have terrible aim I wanted to aim for his head. He collapsed to the ground and I ran to Cleo. She was very pail. I prayed for a miracle as I wrapped her coat around her and picked her up like a baby. She was dead weight. I carried her gently to the hospital where the same nurses took her away, it felt like I had done the same thing 3 months ago, oh wait I did. That made me remember Lexi and Leo and though I hated to leave her here she would have wanted me to get them. I ran back and got them and they were luckily asked. We sat down and waited, for any news of Cleo, my beautiful liver and there caring mom. She didn't deserve this, to be tortured again and again she deserves happiness. Maybe it was me not her that didn't deserve this. I definitely don't deserve Cleo.
-----------------------------------------------------
We waited and she still didn't wake. For the first 2 weeks the nurses said she would wake, it was just shock that was keeping her asleep. Then they looked at her stress levels and it showed she had been feeling hatred and depression and it was quite possible that her body didn't want to wake up. At that point I didn't sleep, or eat or talk. I just waited by her side. I never said a word to her afraid that if it was me she did want then if I spoke she would recoil back into her death like sleep. When she had been asleep for 2 months the doctors found that she was pregnant. I didn't knows who it was, mine or Parkers and the doctors said that she wouldn't survive if they had to take the babies out of her stomach at 9 months. They determined finally then that she was giving all her energy to the baby, not to herself and that was why she couldn't wake. I sobbed for hours that night and no one dared to speak to me. Cleo was going to die for her third child. I didn't even know if it was Parkers or not. Of course he had lived and demanded I was put in jail. It only worked to his harm though because he had fired at me first and that me at he was guilty. He sat in jail now where he would stay for ever if Cleo died. I prayed and wished and hoped and i sacrificed my time for Cleo. I wished her alive again and out of that slumber. I knew I could do nothing, nothing but wait.
