How to Disappear

Chapter IX

~ 8 Months & 18 Days Later ~

Joanne's POV

I can't believe that Cole and I are going to be godparents. I was so excited to find out that Ivy was pregnant. But I still felt bad because of that day were were fighting in the ring. Which also makes me wonder why she would do something so stupid. I teased Cameron a lot these past months and worrying him about being a father. I mean what can I say, thatś what best friends do. But today is special. Today is the day Ivy if giving birth, she postponed the war by hiding the crew. Her water broke this morning when she was giving orders. To our surprise, the whole gang was excited to have a heir in the family. But they don't know that she isn't staying. I'm just scared that when they know they could try to rebel against us. Anyways, as soon as I got to the hospital, Ivy gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Erin Grace Danvers at 3:12 A.M. This baby was perfect. She had V's nose and mouth, and probably body, but this adorable baby had Cameron's eyes and facial features. This was going to be the best looking baby in the entire world.

Before V gave birth I found out something about Cole, and he was really upset about it and a couple other things. I hugged him for a long time. I was so worried. Now that we have all got to know each other, I consider Cole family too. He's like my best friend. Now I actually have a family. It helps me cope with things. But obviously Ivy has something going on in her life too. So it was decided between the two of us that we wouldn't tell her for a while. I held Erin while V and Cameron were sleeping. V's belly seemed to shrink back down again. To my surprise, she hasn't even gained weight. I guess that makes sense though. She still worked out as much as possible. Pretty soon Erin fell asleep in my arms. But was quickly awoken by the sound of a gunshot downstairs. I sprouted up, my eyes wide. When I looked behind me V was unhooking her wires and put some extra clothes back on. She took one of my guns and left me here to watch the baby. Cam joined her.

"V what are you doing! Stay on the bed!"

"No, I won't, my crew is down there watching the building, there aren't many of us here so I have to go help. I don't care how much pain I'm in."

She left without warning.

Cameron's POV

When we got downstairs hiding behind the front desk Ivy laughed a little.

"Why are you laughing."

"Because I've missed kicking some ass. Why do you think?" She stood up and quickly put the gun in her back pocket and pulled me with her towards two enemies. She held on to one's head when she spun the other way to kick somebody and snapped his neck. Then she punched the other guy about five times until they were on the ground then she pulled the gun out and shot him twice. I like using the gun more often so I shot about five people at the speed of her when she was hurting them with her fists. When we were done there were 3 dead innocents, 18 dead enemies, and 7 wounded. Ivy and I heard the police cars coming so we ran up the stairs.

Finally we got to the room. *panting* "The police don't know that we are more than just a protective agency. They don't know our true business in the mafia." Ivy almost couldn't breathe. She was trying hard to stand. I'm sure it was hard because she was still on medicine. She went to lay on the bed and put her scrubs back on.

"Already on it V. Eric (tech guy) erased the last 30 minutes of the film in every single camera."

"Thanks, Joan-..." She stopped talking to breathe.

--- 1 hour later ---

Ivy was still sleeping and I was holding Erin when Joanne went down to get some food for us. I had never thought that I would love another human being as much as I loved this baby. I almost cried because I was so happy... I hadn't been this happy for a while. A long while. The hospital calmed down a little and soon we ate dinner then, well...basically kidnapped Ivy and the baby from the hospital. Ivy was still holding the baby when we got home and I couldn't help but notice that when she went to the bedroom, she was trying really hard not to cry. I wondered what it could be about, but I didn't say anything. She set the Erin in a cradle we put in the bedroom a week ago and broke down in tears. I didn't say anything. All I did was hug her. I held her in my arms while she cried and worried.
