Chapter 30

Sarah:

"Daddy, Im sleepy." Jacen said sleepily.

"Okay, bud." Maverick replied as he kissed his forehead.

"Good night, Aunt Sarah, Good night, Uncle Jimmy." He said.

"Good night, Jacen. Sweet dreams." I smiled.

"Night, little man. Sleep tight." Jimmy added with a smile. Jacen smiled at us before laying his head on his daddy's shoulder.

"Excuse us..." Maverick said as he stood up and made their way upstairs, leaving Jimmy and I alone.

I have to say, coffee here is not bad... Its actually pretty good.

"You okay?" Jimmy asked. I looked up at him and nodded.

"You can say... Its just, alot has happened today." I sighed with a soft smile.

Jimmy nodded as I played with the new ring on my finger.

"Do you like it?" Jimmy asked.

"Like what?"

"The ring."

"No. I love it, James." I smiled softly.

He chuckled and slowly placed his lips on mine.

"I can't wait." He whispered, our foreheads touching.

"'Me too." I replied.

"Am I interrupting something?" Maverick chimed in as he descended the stairs.

"Not at all." I said sarcastically. He chuckled and sat on a vacant chair infront of us.

"Now that you're here, and Jace is asleep. You have some explaining to do." I said seriously.

He sighed and nodded, "Where do you want me start?"

"Why did you keep him from us?"

"Because it was for you and Jacen's safety. I knew that one wrong move would end all of it." He answered.

"Where's his mother?" Jimmy asked.

"She left."

What?

"What? What do you mean she left?" I asked.

"She didn't want to do anything with Jacen and I, so she left."

You could hear my heart break.

"Who would do such a thing?!" I exclaimed softly.

"Apparently, she did." He shrugged.

I could feel the pain and bitterness in his voice.

"Well, all of this crap would be over soon, and you can bring Jacen with us." I told him.

He smiled softly and nodded.

"That would be awesome." He smiled.

We sat in silence, sipping our coffee.

"So what are we going to do now?" I asked.

"I contacted Chrome. He's working on it. He was really surprised about what happened."

"We were too." I added.

"And what the hell were those dogs?" Jimmy added with a disgusted look.

"That, my friend, are Malwares."

"Malwares?" Jimmy repeated.

"Yup. They're like dogs. They have rabid ones and tame ones, those were definitely rabid." Maverick chuckled.
