Anthony pushes one of the puke green couches over to the bed. He sits with his arms wide open and his legs crossed. I blink really hard hoping this isn't a dream or hallucination of some kind. When he is still there, that is when I start to sob again.
My tears now cloaking my face, it stings a little as I try to wipe it away. I can't get them to stop and he just sits there. Admiring me like I am a work of art, he doesn't quite understand. He looks at me the same way he looks at Hailey.
"Can I hold her?" He asks me sweetly, I blink a bit before closing my eyes. I count to three and take a few deep breaths before responding.

"No, go away. You are putting us in danger." I say that as softly as I possibly can.
"Actually, I am here to bring you home." As he says this, he reaches for my daughter. I mean our daughter. I force myself to correct it. He is here for an idiotic reason, I bet. If his news or information is good then I will tell him, how I really feel.
"If you put one finger on Hailey, I will scream." He backs off with a smirk, as I look at him in disbelief. This man broke my heart and wouldn't mind link, text or call me at least once. I needed him, but now that he is here, it is too painful to see him like this. I went through it all without him.
"You changed your hair, " he says circling the bed like I am prey. With a grin on his face, his scent fills the air, along with the new baby smell. He smells so divine it almost opens the hole, he left in my heart. The void that was meant for him and only him. I want him to fill that void, he belongs there.
"Haley? That's a beautiful name." He says, making me wish this was a dream. His tone is dreamlike. His voice is something I have wanted to hear for many full moons. But now that I hear it my stomach curls in defeat.
A few minutes ago, I wanted him here to see Hailey, now I want him gone. I don't want any issues. The stress of things, I really can't let it get to me.
"I thought it wasn't safe," I say with my eyes closed, so I don't have to face him or look at him. I cant look into those Emerald eyes without a bubble of doubt. When I look into those eyes I see the man I fell in love with and I really don't need that now.
"It wasn't, but we made a deal with the rogues. The rogue king signed an agreement with us. As long as we, find his granddaughter and hand her over to him. Then there will be, no war." He says so enthusiastically with a smile that shines way brighter than the sun, moon and the stars. Tears of what I assume to be happiness build up in his glossy green eyes.
He doesn't know, what I know. He couldn't know what I know because he blocked me out of his life. The king of the Rogues is my grandfather and Haley's great-grandfather. He wants me but doesn't know of her. I frown as the tears start to fall. I can't process this, my head hurts and I am so tired.
"Why are you so sad? You get to come home!" This makes my sobs come out a bit louder. My heart hurts, it feels so heavy. I am a bomb and I don't know who controls the triggers anymore. Whoever does can go to fricken hell, for all I care.
"You already found his granddaughter you were once mated to her. You broke her heart. He wants me, he doesn't know who I am and it is going to stay that way. I have my grandmother's eyes. So I can't go back, he might know it's me." I explain this and he looks completely shocked. Also, there are so many repercussions. What would the king do? He would be willing to put another life at risk for me.
"How do you know this?" He asks while pacing back and forth. His pacing starts to make me angry, so I throw the tv remote at him.
"I gave my blessing to Ari, so they could bring their own bundle of joy into the world. We had it easy, they had it hard." I explain and he looks at me like I am stupid. I get up and I put Haley into a portable crib that Ari insisted, she would get for me no matter how many times, I said the words let me pay for it. I heard the words non-sense. I want to be the best aunt ever. I set her down carefully, hoping she doesn't wake up in the process. I can't deal with both of them being fussy, but my little girl doesn't fuss much. She is a happy baby. My happy ball of sunshine. I kiss her chubby cheeks and I continue to hold her hands. I can hear her soft snores and it relaxes me. I then place my hand on where she used to be. Still, a bit shocked I did this all by myself and with no pain meds. I wanted it to be natural and I felt taking meds would take away the experience.
My Haley was worth every ounce or fiber of pain. I love her so much.
"Thank you," I say to Anthony with a huge smile.
"For what?" He asks, gazing happily at our daughter.
"This." I look down at her lovingly.
I love her so much it hurts to think of any harm that might come her way. She is so new to this world. So innocent, I might even add the word pure to the vocabulary I could describe her with.
He walks over to me and puts his arms around me as if nothing happened.
"You changed your hair, you can put contacts in." He explains as Hailey begins to fuss.
"Shhhhh shhhh, calm down my little flower." I try to hush her and then I notice her eyes are the same color as mine.
"Hudson we have a problem..." I explain and he walks over.
"What?" He asks.
"She has my eyes, my nose, and your hair." He runs his hands through his hair and frowns.
Well, we will have to figure something out.
"You are coming home no matter what. We can protect you. If war comes we will put up one hell of a fight." My eyes widen and my body starts to shake his words feel like a punch in the face. It is like he thinks I can't keep her safe. HE is the one endangering her. I can't believe this! She is both our weaknesses and he could have been followed.
