Can You See Me?

Game Day

"We have to go back." Emily sobbed

   "We can't go back honey. Thomas will kill you."

   "Id be damned if i dont try, Judith. He's your husband for pete's sake."

   "I know he is my husband but he would not want for us to interfere." Judith rose to her feet.

   "Fine you can stay here with Isle and Max. While the others and I go back to get Vence."

   "If anything you are staying here with Judith and Isle. You're fucking pregnant!" Max hollered

   "You can use me as leverage!" Emily hollered back.

   "Enough!" I growled. All gazes fell but the tension still clouds the room.

   "Call Sam. Get her over here to watch Isle and Judith."

   "We can't bring her into this mess." Tyler argues

   "We wont have to we'll lie."

   "No need." Everyone turned around and Sam stood in the doorway.

   "Sorry. I came to drop off some cookies and the door was cracked. If you need me to babysit while you do gang stuff i will." Utter surprised filled everyone's faces

   "What?! I'm nosey okay." A giggle comes out of Isle's mouth and Sam squeeled.

   "Is this the little princess I'll be babysitting?"

   "I'm no princess, my sister is though." She tries to whisper in Sam's ear. I smiled at the little girls cuteness before turning serious.

   "Sam watch them, everyone else with me." I grab Emily's hand and lead her down the stairs carefully. I sit her in the love seat and sit next to her.

   Everyone toook their seat across from us. Max went to open her mouth but Emily groaned beside me. I rubbed her back and she smiled.

   "We cant let you fight Em. You could get hit and have a miscarriage." Max said softly.

   "Vence is like a father to me I can't just let you guys go."

   "I agree with Max on this one." Zachary pipes up.

   "Fine, she won't fight but we still need her. She can sneak in through a back way and find Vence.  He'll get her out." I compromise.

   "The rest of us will go in guns blazing!" Dustin hollers. Everyone laughs at his stupidness.

   "Dustin would you teach me how to make dinner?" Dustin nods and comes over to help Emily up.

   I motioned for Max, Zach, and Ty to follow me and they followed me into the study. Before the door could close a loud pop sizzled through the air and a pained cry escaped my lips.

   "What the hell!?" I turned around to see a fuming Max.

   "How dare you let her come on this rescue mission when she is pregnant! Are you out of your mind bat shit crazy!!"

   "I lied goddamnit." I whisper yelled

   "LIKE THAT MAKES THE SITUATION ANY BETTER! NOW WE'LL HAVE A POSSIBLY DEAD VENCE AND AN ANGRY PREGNANT LADY!" She yells to the top of her lungs while jabbing my chest with her finger.

   "WELL WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO MAX AND I JUST CANT TELL HER NO! YOU WOMEN ARE DIFFICULT AND STUBBORN!"

   We continued yelling at each other like when we were kids before Zachary smacked both of us.
