Colby's POV
I felt better after talking with Sam. I had no idea what was going to happen but knowing he was by my side made me feel better.
The next couple days were hard. I was trying to piece everything that happened together while trying to keep Julia calm.
She's been having some pretty intense panic attacks but they were usually triggered when I was a way for too long.
I understood her anxiety since everything happened so I tried to be as supportive as possible.
It was hard on the kids being down here with nothing to do. They were all trying their best but it was only going to get more difficult when I started doing more dangerous stuff.
Today I was going to try and make my first venture out, but I needed to make sure Julia and the kids were okay.
"Are you sure about this?" Julia asked quietly as she picked her nails.
"I am sure, Julia. I'm going to start off slow and just tag along on a run with Sam." I explained and took her hand, stopping her from picking.
"I don't like it." She said quietly. "I know, darling. Maybe while I'm out I can pick up a ring for you." I said and brought my free hand to the ring of mine that was hung around her neck.
"I'd like that." She said as I leaned in and gave her a kiss. "Try to get some rest." I said then turned towards the kids.
"Be good for your sister. I'll be back in a little while." I said as Carter frowned.
"Are you sure you're gonna come back?" He asked as Juniper burst into tears.
"Woah. Guys, I'm gonna come back. Just going on a couple errands." I said and went over to pull Juniper into my arms.
"Are you going to look for a doctor for Jules? I'm worried about the baby." Jenna said as I chuckled.
"The baby is fine. Right, Jules?" I asked and looked over at her.
"I've been calling my OB like...every day." She said as Jenna nodded with approval.
"I swear that I'll be back." I said as Juniper sniffled and held her pinky out.
"Promise?" She asked as I nodded and linked my pinky through hers. "Promise." I said then kissed her forehead and stood up.
"I'll be back in a little while with some dinner." I explained then looked at Julia.
"Text me what you guys want." I said as she nodded. "I love you." She said and waved as I turned to leave. "I love you, too." I said then blew her a kiss and left.
As soon as I was in the hallway I locked the door then put on my mean face on.
I had gone soft for Julia and the kids but there was no way in hell I was gonna let anyone step out of line around me.
I made my way to Sam's office, then knocked on the door. "Ready?" Sam asked as he opened the door.
"Yeah. We gotta stop at a couple places while I'm out so I'll drive." I said as Sam nodded. "Great. We're bringing Nate along since he worked with Julia to get us out of Pops' place." Sam explained.
"We need to figure out any dangers before it's too late." He said and knocked on Nate's door. I appreciated that he wanted to keep Julia and the kids safe.
It was definitely hard to operate a gang with kids and a pregnant girl but it made it even harder considering who the pregnant girl and kids were.
"Hey, guys." Nate said as he opened his door. "Come on." Sam said and nudged his head as we walked down the hallway.
