Chapter 27
*A fist met my cheek, and I felt it pain blossom through my face and settle deeper in my skull. The hit had knocked me over and onto the ground. Before I could get up I heard a thump just miliseconds before feeling pain radiate through my chest and abdomen, making it hard to breathe. I moaned and rolled onto my back, trying to get up, but being kicked back down. A sickening snap filled the air and burning pain shot up my arm.
"I told you that you needed to get back to me with my girls, and yet I found you here. Now you will pay." Josh's voice loomed over me.
Pain radiated through my abdomen, and I felt a gush of something between my legs. I groaned as I lifted myself into a somewhat sitting position. I screamed as I looked at my lower body, blood pooling around my hips and down my legs. "My girls, oh my God, my girls." I cried.
Josh hand wrapped in my hair and he pulled my head back. I could the heat of his body on my back, and the stubble on his chin against my cheek.
"We will welcome these babies to the world together, Josie, even you don't make it to see them grow." He snarled, his hand dropping from my hair to settle on my bulging stomach.
I tried to move it off of me, but he held tighter, which made me fight more.*
"Josie, Joselyn, sugar. Damn it wake up. JOSELYN!"
I gasped as I shot into a seated position, pulling the blanket off me to look at my pelvis. A sigh that turned into a sob wracked my body. Hands pulled me into a hard warm body, as another hand rubbed my back. I just continued to sob, soaking in the warmth and comfort of my two men.
I felt Sean leave the bed, and Oliver pulled us back so he was leaning against the headboard. He pulled me into him more so I was leaning on his chest, and curled against him. My sobs quieted down to mostly just sniffling, and Sean appeared with a glass of water, which he handed to me. I took it and drank it quickly, handing the glass back to him.
"Do you want more?" He asked, to which I shook my head.
He climbed into bed and brought his body up behind mine, placing his hand on my waist. I held onto as if it was a life preserver. He gave me a gentle squeeze, and settled his head on my shoulder with a kiss. "Want to talk about it?" He asked.
Instantly I shook my head. I couldn't bring myself to say the horrible words that formed to explain the dream. What if saying them outloud made them come true? I knew that Josh was locked away states away from me, but what if he got out, or hired someone to carry it through.
"I just want you to hold me, while we go back to sleep. Being with you guys makes it better." I said tucking in closer to them.
They nodded and we laid down. The guys rubbed my shoulder and hand until they fell back asleep. It took me longer to be drift off, but as I went I prayed for a more sound sleep that was dreamless.
***
I woke to the sun streaming in the windows, with both of the guys in bed, but they were awake. As I pulled myself more into the concious realm I heard them quietly talking. They quieted and turned their attention to me as they realized I was awake.
"Morning, darling. You slept better this morning, no more dreams?" Sean asked, kissing the edge of my shoulder.
I shook my head and snuggled into Oliver. If they thought they could trick me in to talking they were wrong. I was planning on moving on from this and forgetting it, not rehashing it and reliving it. Oliver's hand ran up my arm to my shoulder and back to elbow.
"Talking-"
"Excuse me, I have to use the bathroom." I said, throwing the covers back and walking quickly to the bathroom.
I shut and locked the door behind me and leaned against it. What if's still circled my mind. I had gottent to relaxed and it cause Sean to get hurt. Josh had reach and pull, what if he used that to come back at us, to try and take my girls? I muffled a sob with my hand, as I sunk to the floor. I had been stupid. Staying this close to him made it easy to find me. I leaned my elbows on my knees and covered my face with hands.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. It was a dream. We had no proof that he had hired anyone, and he was behind bars. I know that Sean checked daily on that, and had a friend that would call if he made bail. They had a plan in place and would protect me.
I sharp kick to the side of my belly pulled my attention to my rounded belly. I placed a hand on the spot where I felt the kick and was greeted with another set of jabs. I smiled. They were happy and protected, and they would stay that way. I was happy and protected.
Groaning, as I got up off the floor I made my way to the toilet to relieve my bladder that had become a punching bag. I started the shower and undressed, relaxing into the hot water that hitting my skin. It felt good, and was much needed after the long night last night.
My thoughts turned to my punishment last night. Moments like those make me want to act out often. I grinned as I reached around to my butt cheek and flinched when I found it still tender. Maybe not act out too often though. I smiled at the thought and finished my shower and shaving. I got out of the water and dried off, wrapping my hair in a towel and exiting the bathroom. I reentered the bedroom to find my men lounging on the bed, grinning in my direction. "C'mere, sugar. Let me inspect that pussy and make sure you got all the curls." He said pulling me close and laying me down, spreading my legs so he could easily see. "It appears that there is no tweezing in your immediate future, or spankings." He said with a frown, like he had just broken bad news.
I giggled and pushed myself up. He allowed me to stand and I walked to the closet to get dressed. My stomach was on the verge of growling and I needed my daily dose of caffiene. I re-entered the bedroom to find it empty, so I made my way downstairs.
"For mi' lady." Sean said with a jester like bow, as he presented me with my steaming cup of liquid caffiene.
I smiled and took it, settling in behind the breakfast bar, watching Oliver cook crepes and make whipped cream. It looked amazing as he brought it over with fresh strawberries. I groaned as I took a bite.
"I'm so glad that you are fat kid at heart and you mom made sure you could cook. This is delicious and everything I didn't realize I needed." I said with moan. "Sounds like that will definitely get you three full meals a day and a good time in the hay, ma'am." He said with a mock tip of his hat, making me role my eyes.
"And eye movements like that will get you folded over a lap with a warm ass." Sean whispered in my ear as he moved by me with an empty plate. I felt me face flush with the thought.
I finished my meal, as usual being the last one done, but Sean and Oliver never seemed to care. When I finished Oliver grabbed my plate and rinsed it, placing it in the dishwasher.
"I was thinking we could go to the lake today. It's one of the last days before it get too cold. I figured we could take the boat out and just have a relaxing time." Sean said, caging me in with the counter.
"Yes! Let's go." I said turnin in his arms on the stool. I would never say no to a day on the lake. I loved being on the water.
I went upstairs and pulled on my bathingsuit, I realized then I hadn't grabbed a maternity one, and all I had was my black bikini. It was old, but had gotten a little big for me when I was with Josh. I frowned but pulled it on. Glancing in the mirror I was frowned deepened. I hadn't gained weight anywhere but my belly, but I wasn't sure I wanted it on full display. My breasts completely filled the cups on the top, but were covered enough.
"You look amazing. With that on, we may not leave the house, sugar." Oliver whispered in my ear. "Stop thinking poorly of your figure. You couldn't be sexier."
"I second that, darling." Sean said as he pulled a t-shirt over his.
Both men had their board shorts on and were ready to go. I smiled in the mirror at Oliver behind me. I pulled on a cover and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Sean came back from the bathroom with towels. "Ready?" He asked.
"Let's go." I said, leading the way to the car. After last night, I was determined to have a good day today. I climbed in the SUV and as Oliver backed out I cranked my phone's music up. We would have a good day, even if I had strong arm everyone into agreeing it was a good day. I leaned back in the seat and watched the road travel by, I swallowed and closed my eyes. Today will be a good day.
