Double Lives

Peace at Last?

Years later

Time had passed and I never saw that woman again. That really relieved me because my girls had to start school in which I was not happy but there's nothing I could do. We decided to move to a small town and it wasn't that bad to be honest. Leía and Hope started kindergarten three months ago and let's just say they are loving it well Leía for that matter does.

Hope wants to stay home all the time but Leía wants to be out and about which worries me. Killian was out on a mission of course but he comes home in the afternoon. He made reservations at our favorite restaurant which so happens to be the girls as well, and tonight was going to be a perfect time to reveal a surprise to both girls and Killian.

I hadn't been feeling well for the last couple of months so this morning I found out that I'm almost 9 months pregnant. I couldn't believe it because I did not have a belly, and I didn't show any symptoms. I was my usual size, luckily I hadn't been drinking or anything so that was good. I went to get an ultrasound done and I'm having a little boy.

I'm so excited and I bought a pair of little black converse to show Killian that a little boy will be a part of our family. I laid out the girls clothes on their beds and went on my way to pick them up at school. I went up to their classroom and looked inside and they were no where to be found.

I see Ms. Winter their teacher and walked up to her. "Ms. Winter, where are the girls?" She gave me a confused look. "I thought you had sent their uncle to come pick them up." I started panicking. "No we don't have any other family members here." She gasps. "He had a recording from you saying it was ok to take them." I shake my head.

"My girls don't know that man." She gasps. "Jennifer, I am so sorry." I ran back to my car and called Killian, that's when I get a call. I answer and put it on speaker phone. "Hello there Emma." I gasp, it was Malcolm well Neal. "You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily did you?"

"Why did you take my girls, they are innocent." He chuckles. "No one is ever innocent." I sigh. "Please don't hurt them, I'll do anything." He smiles. "I'll send you an address to your phone, come at 8pm alone and I'll give you the girls or not," he says and hangs up.

I burst out in tears as I turn on the car and headed home. Once I arrived to the house, I stormed inside to find Killian sitting on the couch. "Emma what's wrong?" He then looked at my side. "Where are the girls?" "Neal took them." He gasps and that's when my phone went off. I looked at it and sighed.

"It's by the docks Killian." He gasps. "That monster." I nodded and that's when I feel winded and sit down. "Emma what's wrong?" I shake my head. "Nothing, it's just I'm scared." In which of course was a lie but not really, I was scared but I was winded because of the baby.

He nods and sighs. "Well I'm sure he wants you to go alone right?" I nod. "I'll be hiding in the boxes near the docks, he won't see me." I nod then start to cry. "Killian I don't want to lose them." He comes and hugs me. "We won't, our little girls will come home." I nod.

Time passes and it's time to meet Neal at the docks. Killian left a while ago to go and hide while I prepared myself to go and see him. I arrived to the docks and I see my little girls hanging over the water tied up and gagged. They were both crying and my heart hurt knowing I couldn't do anything in the moment to save them.

"Let the girls go Malcolm." He chuckles as he walks out. "Emma, oops I mean Jennifer, that's not how this works." I scoff, he's lucky I'm carrying a baby because if I didn't I would have shot him in the head by now. I took a step forward and he lowered the girls more into the water. I stopped and gasped.

"You don't move unless I tell you to move." I nod. "I'm sure you don't want your girls to be fish food." I scoff. He smiles as he walks up to me. "There's something different about you." I scoff. "Ok enough chit chat what the hell do you want?" He smiles again. "Like I told you before I want you to bleed." He cuts my arm and I gasp.

"You're mental." He smiles. "I know," he then slashed my arm again. I groaned and took a step back. I see Killian and he was furious, he wanted to come help but I couldn't compromise his position. He continued to cut me and I tried to move so he wouldn't hit my belly. The girls were crying as they see that I was getting hurt.

As much as I tried to fight back, I couldn't, I was weak. That's when he puts the knife on my throat and smiles. "You know Emma, I'm not really Neal." I shake my head. "What?" "When you were in a coma, I read to you all these things, so that's why you became paranoid." I gasp.

"I blame you for my cousins death, he didn't deserve to die so the nightmares you had after were because of me." I gasp again. "You are a monster." That's when I hear a gun cock. "Let go of my wife or I'll shoot you." He smiles. "Well you'll have to pick either save your daughters or kill me." He presses a button and the girls fall.

Killian and I scream. "Get the girls!" I scream to Killian. He drops the gun and jumps into the water. As soon as I turn around he had stabbed me in the belly. I cry out because I knew that he had killed my little boy. I fall to the ground and I touched my belly. Malcolm hovers over me and smiles.

"You see this was all a part of my plan, become Killian's partner to get close to you but now I guess you'll join Neal in hell." I look at the gun next to me and cocked it. "No you'll see him there." He gives me a confused look. I shoot him right in the forehead and he falls next to me. I sighed in relief but I was in pain, I could feel that my little one was gone and I was bleeding out.

Killian rises to the surface with both Leía and Hope. They get up on the dock and run to my side. Killian immediately calls 911. Leía and Hope are crying like crazy seeing me covered in cuts and bleeding out. I grabbed their hands and smiled. "If I don't make it you two be good for daddy ok?" They shake their heads.

"Mommy you are not going to die." I half smile. "Your little brother and I will probably go to heaven." They gasp. "Love you're pregnant?" I nod. "I wanted to surprise you three tonight but I wasn't able to." That's when I started to feel cold. "I love you three so much, take care of each other." All three of them bursted into more tears and before I knew it my whole world turned black.
