"Shit shit shit." I whispered, pacing my room. I couldn't believe that I just told Carter and Jenna the biggest secret of my life.
Carter seemed to take it way better than Jenna did and that's honestly what I expected. I knew Carter would think it was cool in a way, but Jenna would feel just as betrayed as I was.
She didn't even know the half of it.
I needed to come up with some sort of plan to be at two places at once. Obviously I wasn't going to leave the kids alone, but I also knew I needed to help Colby.
We were dealing with a bigger beast than anticipated and they were going to need my permission help whether they liked that idea or not.
I plopped onto the bed and called Corey. "Hey, Jules. How are you holding up?" He answered after a couple minutes.
"I need your help." I said with a sigh. "Anything. What's up?" He asked as I laid back, putting my hand on my lower belly.
I was just starting to pop out a little bit, not enough for anyone to notice. My belly looked like I had just eaten a big meal and was bloated.
"Can you and Devyn come here to watch the kids?" I asked quietly. "You're not planning on coming here, are you?" He asked as I closed my eyes.
"I have to Corey. I can't just sit here and do nothing." I said and rubbed my belly gently.
I have been pushing away the idea of being pregnant since it scared me so much, but right in this moment, I felt the most motherly I've ever felt.
I needed to find Colby so that we could have this baby, and raise it ourselves.
"Colby would kill me if I let that happen." Corey said as I nodded.
"And I'll kill you if I go there and something happens to my siblings because you refused to watch them." I said sharply.
"One of the people who would kill you isn't missing though, so maybe you should listen to me." I said blandly.
"You and Colby really have so much in common, I swear." Corey said with a laugh. "Mhmm. Are you gonna help me or not?" I asked with a sigh.
"Yeah, Jules. I hate to admit it but I think you being here would be a great idea." He said as I nodded.
"Even if it's a trap...I need to be with him." I said as my heart broke.
I had to hope that it wasn't a trap and that I would be reunited with him soon. It had been so long since I've gotten to see him or even talk to him, and I missed him so much.
"When did you want us to come?" Corey asked as I stood up, pacing the room. "As soon as possible if you can." I said and ran my hand through my hair.
"Okay, I'll tell the guys and get Devyn on board. You can take the private jet back here. I can maybe bring someone along to ride with you if you want." Corey said as I nodded.
I was grateful that Corey was being so gentle and wasn't denying that they needed my help. He knew Colby would be mad, but he also knew that it would be better to have a mad Colby than no Colby.
"That would be good. Thanks, Corey. Just let me know when you're on the way." I said then went towards the closet so I could start packing.
"Okay, Jules. Try not to worry too much, I know you do that." Corey said as I nodded.
"Yeah, maybe a little too much. See you when you get here." I said then hung up. "Okay." I whispered then went to grab some clothes for me to wear.
It was going to be so hard to leave the kids, knowing things could go south. If I went missing then these kids would be orphans.
