The Ties That Bind

Chapter 27

It was about noon when we got up. The twins we're up cooing and it was time for feeding time. I showered and dressed and went to the kitchen to make coffee. I was still exhausted from last night and I'm going to be even more tired tonight after this next mission.
I brewed the coffee and decided to whip up breakfast for everybody, really I didn't give a damn if they ate or not besides my kids and Charlie they we're all grown as hell. I made Bacon, pancakes, eggs and toast sat out the orange juice glass container.
Shortly everyone started to get up, I think they smelled the food. Tremaine hasn't been back to his place since I got home from the hospital, I guess after the accident he's been a little scared and losing Kasey and Lane just being born. It was a lot to take in. He probably didn't have a safe place, plus we we're all trying to figure out why we were targets.
Charlie approached first and Drew went over the plan with her. I sat and ate because he already gave me the run down earlier this morning when I got home. She nodded in agreement when they we're done discussing the matter.
"So Drew we are going to have to go downtown in a little bit to put a hold on the court trial. They should already have the DNA results and we're still doing mediation right? " I asked. Still trying to be in the guys good graces. He already had a fine built ass case against me so anything I could do to make it easier I would do.... For now...
"Yeah we can still do that. Only if you agree I get joint custody of Lana. I'll help out with child support anything else you need but you at least give me the chance to fix our marriage. "
He stated.
"Agreed to the joint custody and child support but we'll talk about the marriage shit later, yanno I'm still not feeling you right now. " I said laughing sarcastically.
Tremaine was sitting at the table and you could see his whole facial expression change with the conversation Drew and I just had. "Excuse me. " he said and got up from the table, he needed back to the nursery. And I decided to go talk with him. It really wasn't cool, what I did, and I put everybody in a tough space, hell they put me in a tough space but we had to deal with it for now.
"Tre! " I yelled after him.
He turned faced towards me with his hands in his pockets and he had a sad look on his face.
"I'm sorry about that, about what you heard out there. You know this is hard for me-... "
"This is hard for me too! Ava don't you get it. I gave up everything for you even in the short time span I knew you I was all in for you. Had me thinking I was having twins and ended up with one kid not the two you made me think we're mine!" He was furious. And I couldn't blame him. I should have told him about the night with Drew and I was more so leaning back on the side with Drew but I couldn't help it. I love them both. But I definitely was in love with Tre. I just resented him right now because his crazy ass wife is after me and my family. Now his daughter is missing. And now all of this chaos.
"I'm sorry Tre. Nothing is going to fix any of this. But you know the bind we are all in right now. We need to work together to fix it. And you forgot he had a good case against me right now. " I stated.
He didn't say anything. He grabbed Lane and started playing with him.
"I get it Ava. " he said. Ignoring eye contact.
"I have to go downtown, ill be back soon and we can talk later. " I said. He looked up at me with his hazel eyes and it made me squeamish inside and instantly wanted to do it to him again. It's been a while and I was 3 weeks postpartum and my hormones we're at an all time high right now. I had to have him but he'll be on my dinner plate later. But not while Drew was here.
Drew and I was ready to leave, to go handle our business downtown. He decided to drive and that was cool for me because we drive half the damn night anyway. We we're 15 minutes away from the court house when my phone rang.
"Hello. " I said into the phone. It was Chase. He told me our father had got shot by Giselle and her mother and he was in a coma. There wasn't much brain activity but he was stable for now with a ventilator breathing for me, he told me to hurry up and get there as soon as I can.
I hung up with Chase and told Drew to step on it. He didn't think it was a good idea to go down there and fuck up the plan but he was my dad. He started flying down the street and then we we're hit by a big ass suv truck.
I blacked out and felt my body being pulled from my seat. Drew was out cold on the wheel and I didn't have much energy to yell or do anything. They put a bag around my head and put me in their vehicle. I couldn't see their face, he had on a black ski mask and black attire, typical for a kidnapper. I sat in the back of the vehicle and thought to myself I'm so sick of the shit and I can't wait until it was over. I needed to figure out who kidnapped me and where I was and where I was going. They kept me in the dark most of the time and I knew when Drew woke up shit was going to get serious really soon. This was the last straw!
