Chapter 13 Unexpected Hero

As soon as it registered what they were seeing happen outside the Mexican restaurant, Sena began dialing on his phone as Tenpo and Cash darted outside to help Kevin. Cash grabbed Rex under his arms and pressed his hands against the back of his head in a full nelson. Rex struggled as he was pulled off Kevin. Tenpo dragged Kevin to his feet and nearly fell backward as the taller man clamped onto him for dear life. Looking up, Kevin met Tenpo's hazel eyes and burst into tears.

Bashir was shouting in the background of phone as Rex began twisting his body to free himself of the large and pregnant omega and they stumbled toward the street. "Cash, look out!" Sena yelled.

Cash landed hard on his ass as Rex broke free of the hold and shoved him backward. Kevin was shaking and clinging to Tenpo as Rex grabbed Cash by his collar and threw him into a car. Cash grit his teeth as pain shot through his back.

Rex recovered his knife and glared at Cash. "What are you doing, stupid?! This has nothing to do with you!"

Cash got to his feet and put up a defensive stance. "I can't let you harm Dr. Watanabe."

Rex laughed and pointed the knife at Cash's belly. "You should be trying to protect that little bastard baby inside, little miss"

"Don't you worry about that. I can protect them both," Cash grinned.

"Cocky." Rex charged toward Cash with the knife in a saber grip ready to slash. Cash side stepped him, grabbed the wrist holding the knife, and brought his knee up into Rex's exposed midsection. Rex fell to the ground, clutching his stomach. Before he could stand, Cash grabbed the front of his shirt and started punching him.

Rex slashed furiously in the air. Cash felt stinging and something warm and wet gush down his cheek. With one arm protecting his face, he grabbed Rex's knife hand with his free hand and twisted until he heard a snap. The knife clinked to the ground as Rex howled in pain.

Chapter 14  Alpha Unhinged

Bashir stood in the doorway talking to Peter when an angry female voice echoed down the hall. Cash quickly propped himself up in the bed and took a deep breath. Several staff members were running behind-trying to reason with an angry Doctor Kira Jamison.

"Where is he?!"

"Dr. Jamison-"

She shoved the nurse out of the way and looked around. Her teeth were clenched and her nostrils flared as she scanned the area.  She noticed Tenpo and Sena sitting in the waiting room off to the side and Peter and Bashir outside an open door. Her eyes blazed as she stormed towards them.

Peter held up his hands to block her. "Kira-"

She shoved Peter into Bashir and charged into the room. Cash sat up in the bed with his head down, waiting. She grabbed the front of his hospital gown and pulled him up so they were eye level.

"You stupid fucking omega!"

He sucked his teeth as she backhanded him.  He told himself he was prepared for it but damned if she didn't hit like a man.

Bashir grabbed Peter as he started forward to stop her. "Kira!"

Cash held up his hand warding them off as she shook him.  He deserved her wrath.  He didn't think and endangered their baby.  One she could never have to joy of carrying and nurturing in her deficient body.

"What the hell were you thinking?! That's my baby in there! What would you have done if you two were hurt?!" she screamed.

Maybe he was a masochist but he was enjoying this raw uncut alpha in front of him.  He smiled. "I'm sorry."
