The Promised Bride

21

After a morning of making love the six of them left the hotel and headed home to relax and enjoy their mini honeymoon

It was two days before Anastasia Grandfather is to be coming here she was on edge about everything
Her grandfather called her and when she answered him Because Raven said to
Grandfather made it very clear he wanted Anastasia to meet him and only her to which Raven told him No that She wasn't going to meet him that He would be picked up by a car service they would take him to his hotel then the next day they would meet up for Lunch there was no room for argument in the way Raven told him

Anastasia was sitting in living room floor of the BlackBourne home with Lilly they were all over for a last minute meeting to go over what was going to happen when Her Grandfather got there

Silas and North were going to be the drivers , Henry and Harry were going to be apart of the hotel staff
Jack and Liam were going to be outside in a van set up for surveillance there at the hotel and at the meeting location which all of the teams would be involved in

North and Silas were to pick up the goose .... that's what Luke kept calling him so everyone else did too
Once they got Goose they would take him to the hotel even offer to take his bags up for him
The room will already be set up with cameras wire taps and other things before his arrival

Once he was dropped off they would leave Henry and Harry would be the ones to answer any of his needs

On the day of the meeting the teams would be scattered around the location which was at a Downtown Restaurant that The Academy owned
So Everyone working there has already been briefed on the matter

" Hey Anastasia do you want to go play out in the backyard "Lilly asked she had noticed Ana was fidgeting a lot

"Sure Lilly lets go" Anastasia says as she stands up from the floor and heads to the doors that lead out to pool area

"Anastasia "

" Yes Owen "

" You okay Sunshine "

" I'm alright " She replies to him

"You sure it seems your not yourself "

" Just want this all over with so I can have a normal life " Anastasia tells him

" I know Sunshine I know and it will hopefully be all over soon " Owen says

" I hope so "

Lilly came over took Anastasia by her arm and they headed out to the swings

" Ana be careful " Lilly says as she watches Ana climb the tree to get the frisbee they were playing with got caught in the tree

" I will" Ana says as she gets to the limb the frisbee is on

Scooting out to it and grabbing it she tosses it to Lilly then starts to slide back so she can climb back down
As she does the tree makes a cracking sound which frightens her a little making her stop moving

" Lilly I scared now "
" I know I heard it too Just move slowly back " Lilly said
Ana moves another crack is heard but this time the branch drops a little she lets out a scream
As she moves faster trying to get off the branch but doesn't make it

Snap

All Anastasia knows is she is falling and lets out a scream

Thud

Anastasia lands on the ground a cloud of dust and dirt fly up around her
She can hear Lilly scream then footsteps running

" Anastasia "
Opening her eyes to see Sean leaning over her
" Sean"
" Yes Little one can you tell me Where you are hurt "
" Head and arm " she tells him
"okay I can see the arm any where else before we move you "
" No"

Feeling her eyes getting heavy she closes them
" No No you need to stay awake for me " Sean begs her
Cracking one eye open she looks at him

" You can give me the side eye all you want right now Little one I don't want you passing out on me until I know your head is okay "

Fighting to keep her eyes open was a losing battle she succumbed to the darkness

Waking up again she knew she wasn't on the ground anymore but in a bed and her arm felt heavy
Her back hurt along with her head not to mention her arm was throbbing

Shifting in the bed wanting to go back to sleep to sleep off the pain but she heard voices

" How is she "
" Sleeping off the surgery they had to put pins her wrist to stabilize it the break below her elbow has been set no need for pins there , her head is clear of concussion though she does have a small knot on the back of her head , her back is scratched up but nothing that won't heal on its own she Maybe sore for a few days and her Wrist and arm will take about 6 weeks to heal I will change the cast out in three weeks when the pins come out She will need help to shower or bathe her cast is waterproof but I still would put a cover over it just to be safe " Sean said

"Okay we will make arrangements I'm sure Corey will come up with something for her arm " Axel said

"How is Lilly doing " Sean asked

" Still upset Anastasia is hurt but a lot better once Henry explained to her that is was an accident she calmed down a little she still wants to see her when she wakes up but I told her she will see her when she goes home that Lilly needed to rest it's been a tough day for her " Axel said

" For all of us, I'm going to head down to get some coffee for myself and Raven he's in there with her now do you want any" Sean said
"No but thank you , The rest of the guys will be coming up soon with a change of clothes for Anastasia " Axel said

" Alright see you shortly "

" Raven " Axel said softly
" Da "
" She still asleep "
" Yes and no she woke up a few minutes ago but is falling back asleep again " Raven said

"how do you know "

" Her heartbeat changes " Raven answers him as he points to the heart monitor

" Little Sparrow I know you are wake " Raven said
" No sleeping " Anastasia says back as she shifts in the bed but then groans in discomfort
"Easy Little Sparrow you are going to be sore "
" Daddy I hurt "
" Yes you are hurt do you need any pain medicine "Raven asked
" No need snuggles " she says
Both chuckled
"In a few minutes we want to talk about why you were in the tree "
" I sorrieeee Daddy I just wanted the frisbee down "she says as her lip trembles

" No need to cry Little Sparrow we will hold off on punishment for now I think you hurting yourself is more than enough for you to realize you should have come and gotten one of us to get down for you Am I right "Raven said softly as he moved her hair off her face to see those sad but beautiful eyes

" Yes Daddy I should have gotten Ninja Luke " Anastasia says

Both chuckled again at her

" Yes he would have been a good choice " Axel said

" Can I go home " Anastasia asked

" Tomorrow you have to stay the night but don't worry we all will be here with you "

" What about my Grandfather he comes in tomorrow" Anastasia asked

"Things are still in place for him it's just going to be modified a little " Raven says

"Okay " Anastasia said back

" Don't worry Little Doe " Axel said
