Battle Scars

Chapter 16

Asher's POV
"What are these for?"

"You're too young to understand. But...don't worry. It'll all be okay. Don't you worry."

Cal walked in with folders.

"Here's everyone, Wade and Cindy know."

"Photos too?"

"Yes."

He walked up to me and put the folders on my desk.

"Family is at the top. Friends are at the bottom."

"What about co workers?"

"Wade is a one man company. Cindy doesn't work. Uh...she shouldn't be here. She might get triggered.

"Don't worry. She can't read. All I said was, this is something very important."

"Are there any criminal charges for anyone?"

"Yes. DWI. DIU. Possession of substances. Domestic violence. Child abuse."

"Are those people in these?"

"Yes. The photos and police reports are all in there."

"Okay. Bug, you're gonna have to go play with Alyx and your sister."

"But...I wanna stay here."

"I'm not sure what's gonna be in these."

She hopped down and walked away with her head down.

"That hurt."

"I can tell. It's all over your face."

"Are you staying to help or no?"

"I'm still doing some digging."

"Okay. Let me know if anything else comes up."

He walked away and I went back to writing. I got a cramp in my hand and winced.

Evan: That's a sign you should take a break.

I put everything away and got up. I walked out of my office. I turned off the light then closed the door. I yawned the rubbed my eyes. I went to my room and found Alyx. She was sitting on our bed. She was doing something on her phone.

"I'm done for today."

She picked her up.

"The girls are napping. Does your hand hurt? You were in there for hours."

"Yeah. I have a cramp."

I walked up to our bed then sat down next to her.

"Here. Give me your hand."

I held out my right hand. She started massaging my hand.

"If this doesn't work, I'll get you some ice."

I winced.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll stop."

"You can keep going. I-I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"For now."

The cramp started to stop after a few minutes.

"Any better?"

"Yeah. I'm good. Thank you."

"Are you excited about next month?"

"Yeah. I am."

"I get your last name. We'll really be a family then."

"Does Rose have a dress yet?"

"Mhm. It's very pretty."

I cried as she walked down the aisle. That day was one of the best days of my life. We asked Andrea to watch Pixella and Rosemary. I left Cal in charge while we went on our honeymoon.

The first night, she went to shower. I followed her. I spun her around and pinned her up against the wall.

"Oh? We're doing this that way?"

I started kissing her neck.

I picked her up. She turned the water off. I picked her up and walked out of the shower. I found away to turn the light off. I walked over to the bed and laid her down. I grabbed her hands and used one of mine to pin them above her head.

He started moving. It didn't take long for my head to go back.

I want a baby.

I want a baby.

I...

Want...

A...

Baby!!!

Asher started kissing my neck.

"Deeper."

He listened. He pulled my legs down and pushed himself more into me. I moaned. I looked and saw he was completely in me. I smiled.

"I'll be shocked if you can walk later."

I was surprisingly able to walk. We got ready then started to go for a walk on the beach. I was worried about other girls looking at Asher and his body.

"Relax. I'm all yours."

He grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers.
