Rory's POV

Sarah came up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm so glad your home safe. I don't know what I would do if I lost you." She said tearfully.

"You would never lose me. We're sisters." I say tearing up.

She pulled back and giggled. She rubbed my belly "I love you to little man. No need to kick aunty Sarah." She says and we both laugh.

The men came in moments later with bags of food. "That looks like a lot more than what we asked for." I say with a eyebrow raised and my hand on my hip.

"Logan went a little overboard." Colin says laughing.

"Why what'd he get?" Sarah asked curiously.

"Here." Logan says handing me a bag and Steph a bag.

Both bags consisted of flowers and chocolate. My bag also consisted of  a baby bib that says coffee is needed. Also there was a few other things. I opened something that was wrapped and when I saw what is was I laughed.

"What's so funny?" Steph asked.

"He got a onesie that says 'My gas is as bad just like my mommy. Watch out and don't hurt me.' To cute." I say laughing.

"That's what I said to Mare. Guys don't need to watch out for the brother sister or daddy hell not even the uncles just his mommy." Tristan says snickering.

We got the food out and Sarah and I were going to make dessert first. "Music ladies." Steph says excitedly.

She turned on the music and Sarah and I got to work with Steph helping. The elders and guys watched in amusement.

We measured everything out and was starting to combine it all when a song came on. "Mare may I have this dance." Tristan asked bowing to me and I laughed.

"Of course Bible Boy." I say giggling and I wink at Colin.

Tristan and I start to dance and laugh soon Austin cuts in. All of us girls are dancing. Sarah with Tristan. Steph and Colin. Austin and I. The guys kept rotating and on the last song we danced with the men we love.

"Hey baby." He says.

"Dancing is a little difficult with a bump." I say giggling.

"Yes but that's just our baby growing inside of you. Have I told you lately how happy I am?" He asked smiling.

"Not lately." I say with a smirk.

He leans down and kisses me passionately we pull apart when the song ends.

After we all danced I finished my dessert and put it in the fridge. The only thing left was to add sugar and torch it to give that caramelized look. Luckily we have two fridges so I have enough room.

"Love when will you use the torch?" Finn asked suggestively. I lean close to Finn

"Baby am I going to get you all hot and bothered when I use my torch?" I say flirtatiously winking at Juliet and she stifles a laugh.

"Mate your wife is killing me." Finn groans and we all laugh.

"Awe Finny no fair you don't want to play." I say pouting.

Finn stood there speechless not knowing what to say. "God I love it when you make Finn speechless." Juliet says cracking up laughing.

"Don't worry Finn I'll use it later. When I do you can watch." I say and wink at him.

We start prepping dinner and laughing. "You guys really are meant to be. I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused." Logan says with sorrow.

"It's nothing compared to what that bastard Chris did or should I say Marty caused." Colin says seething in anger.

"I'm sorry you and Steph was taken." Logan says with unshed tears.

"Rory and her team saved us. I'm glad she finally woke up from the coma." Steph says happily looking my way.

"Wait what?" Logan asked shocked.

"Rory was in a coma for two months or so. She literally just woke up a few days ago." Colin says with sadness and tears.

"Please tell me you took that bastard out?" Logan says with fury.

"Yes I took him out." I say and turn away from the others.

I cry silently I can still hear what he whispered to me. I feel arms wrap around me "Baby are you ok?" Colin asked concerned.

"No. I can still hear what he said to me. Colin he said I was supposed to be with someone else and his mother agrees." I say crying.

"What?" Logan yelled.

"He told Mare some stuff. Also what she had just said." Tristan says.

"We're looking for two more people who helped him." I say with fear.

"Why do you say that?" Finnegan asked.

"His birth mother is from Hartford society. The second person is the person who took the photographs." I say.

"Oh dear." Nathalie says fear lacing her voice.

"Rory has some intel to go over before any of us will look at it." Austin says winking at me.

We put stuff in the oven to cook and got more drinks for ourselves.

We went into the living room to chat some more. "How are Eli Josh and Honor?" I asked Logan.

"Good worries about you. They tore me a new one when I told them what I did." Logan says embarrassed.

"Have them come here. Tell them not to let anyone know where their going. She needs to be safe." Colin says adamantly. Logan nods and leaves to make his call.

"Can you guys keep an eye on dinner? I'm getting tired." I say yawning.

"I'll tuck you in. Well keep an eye on dinner. Don't worry baby." Colin says to me as we walk to our room.

Colin's POV

I tucked my wife in and kissed her forehead and the baby bump. I walked back to the others in the living room.

I sat on the couch and took a drink. "You ok man?" Shane asked.

"I'm scared I'm going to lose her. I almost lost her once. What if this isn't only what Chris wants but what they want as well." I say letting my fears be known.

"I hadn't thought of that." Tristan says.

"If it's true her life certainly is in danger." Captain Evans says.

"We've seen they would do anything to get to her. Come on they used Logan." Mark says with anger.

"What do you mean?" Logan asked curiously.

"Whoever it is says she belongs to someone else in Hartford society. Not with Colin. We don't know who Chris's biological mother is yet. This is what Chris told her for rejecting her sons." Nate says.

What will they do when they find out who Chris's accomplices are? What will they say when they find his birth mother?
