Not As It Seems (Alaskan Bush People Story: Sequel to Love)

No More Secrets

It was a few weeks after everyone was held hostage. The trial was starting in a few days and Bam would be the first to testify. Then the rest of the boys would have to testify within the coming weeks. Then Christmas was next week. The family was getting excited and the wedding was getting closer. The wedding would be January 10 at sunset on the beach. 

Bam POV

I was trying to hammer in a nail with my other arm but it wasn't working. There were many things that I couldn't do after I was shot. I felt worthless because I couldn't help with the building of the school house. I was trying to target practice and I couldn't hold my gun up very well. I had been given exercises by Grace to do but I felt as if I didn't need to do them. Eleanor had tried to help me but I had yelled at her the other night and she had become scarred of me. She started having nightmares and flashbacks. I couldn't believe I had done that to her. I saw her walking across the way with Diana and I could see they had gathered something in a basket. Then she stopped and I could tell she was having a flashback. I raced over to her and took her face in my hands. "I'm right here." Her eyes had tears coming from them. Diana grabbed both of our legs. The flashback had subsided as we looked down at her. She had my eyes. I picked her up and bring both of my girls into the arms. "I want to help you get better. I will help you with the exercises that Grace gave you." "I want your help. I want to be able to provide for my family." Diana wrapped her arms around my neck as I leaned down to kiss Eleanor.

Snowbird POV

I was going with Matt and Gabe on a hauling job. It would take a few days to deliver everything. We need some extra money for Christmas. We were saying goodbye to our spouses and children. "I'm going to miss you while you are gone." "I will miss you too but I'll be busy with making more pictures. I have so many orders going right because of Christmas. I might be going into town every day before Christmas. Well, be careful and I love you." "I love you too." He kissed me as we walked outside. Gabe was hugging his kids as Matt was talking to Amelia's belly. He was excited for his son. We walk over to them as they are grabbing their bags. Blaine looked at both of the boys "You will look after my wife, right?" "She is our sister; we would never let anything happen to her." He hugged both them as we made our way to the skiff. The family was standing on the beach. We said our last goodbyes as we loaded up. I looked over at Peter and gave him wave. I was helping Gabe push it out until I felt a pair of arm wrapped around my legs. "I'll be back soon, I promise buddy. I love you." I took him in my arms and held him tight. This was the first time I was leaving him. It was becoming hard for me. "I have to give you back to daddy. Mommy has to help Uncle Matt and Uncle Gabe on a job. I'll be back soon." I give him a kiss as we pushed out. I started tearing up myself. I look back at him and he had his arms stretched out for me. Gabe took me in a hug as we reached the Integrity.

Blaine POV

We watched the boat ride out of the bay as Peter was now screaming. I had to make a run to town to make todays deliveries. I had to deliver ten. I would visit Lily towards the end of the day because she was at work. I felt I had the best of both worlds. I had a woman that was my wife and she gave me a son. She took care our cabin and everything I needed. Then a hot woman on the side that was just used for sex. I could ask her to do things that I could never ask my wife to do in the bedroom. I had Bear help me to take the pictures to my skiff. It was faster for me to take my skiff. I told him thank you as I made my way into town. I made my deliveries and then it was finally time to see Lily. She was a drug that I was addicted to. I wait in my usually spot and then I see the candle. I make my way inside to see she has made a trail of clothing leading to her bedroom. She was wearing red and black lingerie as she waiting for me on her bed. I ripped my clothes off of me as made my way to the bed. We would had worked up to three rounds each time we were together.

After our three rounds, I put my clothes back on and walk out the door to the dock. I had to make it back by dinner. Ami said she was cooking something special.

Grace POV

I had been organizing the medical cabin. It needed a good cleaning and I needed to take inventory on what I had. I needed to see what I needed to order. I felt a wave a nausea hit me unexpectedly. I hope I wasn't getting sick. I just needed to take care of myself. I decided tomorrow would be a relaxing day for me and the kids. We could watch a movie. I hear the bell ringing to signal dinner was ready. I make my way to the main house as I see everyone trailing along to the same place I was going. We all made it to the main house as the plates were already fixed and Billy said the blessing. I ate my green beans and mashed potatoes but I couldn't eat the dear meat. I had another wave of nausea hit me again as I raced outside. Charlotte had come out to check on me. "Are you feeling any better?" "Yes, I think I'm just getting sick." "Bear and I could take the kids for the night. To let you rest." "You don't have to do that." "Yes, for everything you do for all us. Let us do this for you." We walk back inside and she tell Bear. "We would not mind taking the kids tonight." Then Noah stepped in "We could take Henry for Stefan will have someone to play with and you can take Rose." "Ana could have a sleepover." It was settled. I made my way back to cabin and changed into my night clothes. I had always missed Gabe when he went on hauling jobs with the family. The bed felt empty without him. When my head hit the pillow, I was out.

Matt POV

We had made out last delivery as we set off for home. I was steering as Snowbird was sitting on the deck. She had become sick on the trip. I think she was getting sick but it could mean something else. I thought Amelia was sick but she was pregnant.

Snowbird POV

I was trying to keep my body level. The moving of the boat didn't help. I had starting feeling sick this morning. Blaine and I did have sex a few weeks ago and we didn't use protection that time. We wouldn't make it home tonight but I wanted to stop at a store to buy a few pregnancy tests. We made it to the closet dock and tied the boat to it. Gabe said he would go buy the tests for me. He handed me the bag and I took them. I was pregnant again.

Blaine POV

I was at Lily's place again as the sun was setting. We had just finished as I hear a knock at the door. I only had my pants on to see Matt on the other side of the door. He looked like he wanted to punch me.
