My best friend the serial killer

Chapter 17 a new love

1 month later

I managed to get Hunter's number and go on several dates with him after the sleep study. Riverside police arrested Melany for Murder on three accounts. Jason was sad and couldn't believe it.

"Jason come on son you have to eat." My dad pleaded. Still after three days he wouldn't eat. He laid in his room crying.

It was about five in the evening we heard a loud thump come from Jason's room. It remained dead silent in tbe house for several moments. "Katie, stay with Isabel were going to go check on him." Mom told me. Isabel asked me why he was so sad, but I couldn't explain before I heard mom scream and yell "Call 911"! She ran down the stairs crying. "mommy what's wrong"? Isabel asked her. "Jason hung himself." She managed to say.

"911 what's your emergency."

"My brother just hung himself we need an ambulance."

"What's your address baby?"

"421 oak drive"

"We have a fleet of emergency care givers on the way honey."

"Ok" I said.

I hung up the phone and saw mom was on the floor crying with Isabel in her arms.

Dad was crying too as he came down the stairs. A knock sounded at the door. I opened it, it was five EMTs, two policeman and the coroner. They went upstairs and cut his body down. the coroner pronounced him dead and they left with the body. Mom and dad followed to make the funeral plans. I didn't realize that I was crying the whole time. It was just me and Isabel. She had cried herself to sleep, "my poor baby." I thought to myself. Another knock came to the door. I opened it up to reveal officer Everett and Gretchen and Hunter. "we are so sorry Katie." Gretchen said. i motioned them Inside then gestured to my sleeping sister signaling them to be quiet.

"We have news Katie" officer Everett said. "okay?"

"Katie, do you like Hunter"?

"Yes."

"Would you ever marry Hunter?"

"Yes."

"Okay then, Melany's baby is due in 4 months, it's a boy and she wants you and Hunter to be the parents of the baby."

"Why"?

"She wants it to go to you because she will never get out of prison to raise him"

"You two will name him and raise him. you are to get him from the hospital when he is able to come home."

"So what does this have to do with Hunter and I being married?"

"It's better if you are. He agreed already all we need is for you to say yes."

I thought for a moment.

"Yes. I will marry Hunter and raise this baby."

"Ok we will have the papers drawn up to be signed. you two go ring shopping and start picking out baby names."

Officer Everett and Gretchen left leaving Hunter and I on the couch.

"Well looks like we're married and have a baby on the way" he said. I smiled as he planted a soft kiss on my lips.

We bought our rings and decided to name our baby Hunter Jason Wells. Hunter and wells because that's Hunter's first and last name (and now mine) and Jason after his real father (my brother). Three days later Jason was buried and I officially became Mrs. Katie Wells.
