《HIS BABY》CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
Advertisement
Stood waiting for Kenna to finish school. She had been going for the last two weeks. She also enjoys it. Glancing around at the other mother's not knowing any of them. Rest my hand on my little bump feeling the baby move smiling to myself. Kenna walks out towards me carrying her little book bag, which she hands to me. "Did you have a good day?". Asking her while taking her hand.
"I had fun". That is all she says. Walk along the road to get in the car, trying not to step on the lines in the pathway. She giggles while she jumps to miss the lines reaching the car she sits in her seat strapping her in we head home. Pull up to the drive the gates open making my way to the top of the drive parking up Cole walks towards the car taking Kenna out of her seat giving her a hug. "Daddy". Her sweet little voice is full of excitement from seeing him. Locking the car up Cole takes me in his arms kissing me tenderly before taking my hand. Walk into the house Chanel steps out from the lounge not looking amused. She shakes her head.
"Chanel". She stares at me following me to the kitchen Cole went into the lounge with Kenna. Place my keys on the side Chanel is stood with her arms folded.
"When were you going to tell me about the fight Cole and Joshua got into?". Flipping the switch of the kettle on leaning on the counter looking at her. "Gable told me". She says taking a seat at the island in the middle of the kitchen. "Savannah". She is sounding pissed that I did not tell her.
"Cole had issues with him that is why it got out of hand". Defending Cole for his actions which really and truthfully should not have happened but it did and now Cole is beating himself up about it. "Chanel, just let the brothers sort this out themselves. Just be there for Gable when he needs you". She makes a sad face making me laugh.
"You are right. Gable is so gentle I feel like Joshua is taking advantage of that". Step around the counter to give her a much-needed hug. "We should start dinner". She says pulling her arms from me. Nod at her we look for something to cook. A while later we are all sitting at the table having dinner.
It is quiet Cole and Gable have hardly spoken to us they have whispered to each other. Leaving Cole to sort his thoughts out is all I could do plus being here when he needs me. Trying not to stress out over all this is hard. After dinner, Chanel and I cleaned up leaving Cole and Gable to sort Kenna out. Put the last plate in the dishwasher stand straight feeling unwell. "Savannah, are you all right?". My sister places her hand on mine.
"Yes, it is nothing just a bit of morning sickness". Telling her, what I hope is right. She takes her hand from mine taking a deep breath we walk over to the lounge to sit. Sitting down put my feet up on the table resting my head on the arm of the sofa my eyes close I am beat. Feeling a kiss on my cheek opening my eyes to see Cole staring at me.

"Savannah, it is late". Scoops me up in his arms to carry me up to our room. Look at the clock eleven in the evening I had been asleep a couple of hours tired more than I had thought. Having a quick shower dry put a nightshirt on slide in bed drifting off to sleep right away.
When my eyes open it is lunchtime get outta bed finding it a struggle to even move. What the hell is wrong with me?. Step into the bathroom to have a shower which helped wake me up. Strolling down the stairs hearing Kenna laughing smiling. Step into the kitchen to see Cole with Kenna having lunch. "How are you feeling babe?". Cole's sexy voice giving me a warm shiver.
"I guess I must have been tired". Get a mug of tea. Sit at the table with them. He smiles leaning towards me kissing me on the cheek.
"Mummy. Daddy and I are going swimming". Kenna informs me.
"You will have to let your lunch settle first". Telling her while smoothing her cheek. She smiles finishes her lunch. Cole takes the dirty plates puts them in the dishwasher.
"Savannah, you need to rest more". He is stood behind me with his chin resting on my shoulder his arms wrapped around me. Nodding he kisses the crook of my neck. Finish my tea place the cup in the dishwasher feeling the same feeling from the night before, turn to see Cole stood with his arms folded looking at me. "Savannah, please rest". Smiling at him walk to the lounge to rest on the sofa. Closing my eyes falling asleep again.
Savannah seems to be tired more than usual falling asleep so soon after getting out of bed. Feeling worried that she is overdoing it with all the house chores plus with all the other things she does. Looking down at her while she is curled up on the sofa place the fleece over her kissing her warm cheek. Get Kenna ready to have a swim in the pool so she could have some fun. We are in the pool splashing around when Gable and Chanel join us. Looking at Gable knowing the scar on his chest is from surgery that saved his life.
Why I had never been told about it or it got mentioned is beside me. Sharing my birthday with Gable's new life he had is something that should not be taken for granted. Looking at my brother knowing he had someone else's heart did not make me love him any less it made me think about what he had gone through and to the reason why he is like he is.
He is a gentle giant who is full of love he never takes things for granted or talks to people like shit. My parents were right to protect him as they did. Watching Kenna play thinking how lucky I am to have her healthy If I had to go through what my parents went through I would not cope. Gable grabs Chanel throwing her over his shoulder.

He is built with some muscle plus a little taller than me he is shy but with Chanel, he can be himself he does not have to shy away from her. Throwing the ball with Kenna watching how she smiles with so much excitement opens the heart filling it with so much love. Look up towards the doorway to see Savannah stood with a cup in her hand she smiles steps out towards the pool taking a seat on the lounger watching us.
Splashing her she laughs sits on the edge of the pool with her legs in the water. Pull her gently in with her clothes on she giggles. We spent an hour mucking around before getting out drying off getting dressed.
A few days have past Gable and I are just walking into the room to have another stressful meeting. Entering the room to see the judge sitting she looks up at us while we take our seats. Wondering why she is here she looks over at us. "Cole, Gable. I will be sitting in this session today". We nod at her waiting for Joshua like we always do Pierce is sitting with his hands clasped on his lap not looking at us he is staring at the floor. A half-hour went by the judge stands takes her phone out speaks to someone looks at all of us one by one puts her phone away. "Joshua has not contacted anyone I have no other choice but to award you three Joshua's share. These sessions are now over". She gets a file out signs three copies handing us one each. Pierce shakes his head Gable and I look at each other knowing that he would fuck up sometime. Walking back to the car Pierce strolls up to us.
"Cole can we talk". Gable leans against the car watching waiting for our brother to talk. "I did not want this. But you know how Joshua gets when he wants something". Running his fingers through his hair he looks at Gable. "Gable all I can do is say sorry for the way I treated you when you were younger. I never wanted to hurt you or do all the things that happened to you it was all down to Joshua. We are meant to be brothers not enemies but, what Cole said about blaming Joshua for our parent's death I had the same feeling". He shocked me with what is saying. "I had spoken to dad that morning. He asked how I was doing if I was coping with UNI life. Mum even spoke to me before they left.". Pierce rubs his face. "Mum said that Joshua had been acting out again he got angry with dad for not allowing him to have full control of the business. He lost his temper with dad pinning him to the wall threatening him. Mum never told me what he had actually said. But I can guess with the way he acted when we sorted out the funeral to when we had them buried". He slides his hands in his pockets. "The day of the funeral he acted so strange smiling not even taking notice of you two. I stayed with you two the entire time during the service all Joshua did is looked at the coffins not even a tear or any emotion to show that he had lost anyone he loved". Listening to what Pierce is saying thinking back to the day of the funeral which is a blur to me I had been young only vaguely remembering bits of that day. "After the funeral, we went back to the house that is when Joshua tore dad's office up looking for something which we all know is the will. He thought being the eldest he would take full control of everything. The business the assets the houses yacht the jets he wanted it all for himself and he proved that in court". Shaking my head while Pierce is telling us all this realising Joshua is someone I really did not know.
He is my brother but with all what I have just heard made sense to why he acts as he does but, now he lost it all to us.
"You do know he will seek his revenge once he hears we have full control. He will not stop till he is stopped". Having no idea what I meant by that but realising he would kill to get what he wants gave me a feeling in the pit of my stomach that did not feel right at all. "Pierce, you are welcome over the house any time". We hugged he hugged Gable we left.
On the way, home Gable and I talked about what had been said we both came up with the same conclusion that Joshua would kill to get what he wants. There is no question about it that Joshua had something to do with the deaths of our parents and his wife. On that day four lives were taken, mum, dad, Patsy and the baby.
Baby, fear took over my whole being thinking about Savannah she is the one he would go after. Turned on to the road to the house driving up to the gate waiting for them to open. Gable looks at me shaking his head driving up the drive getting out the car walking into the house to see Savannah sitting on the sofa resting. Sitting beside her slipping my shoes off taking her in my arms hugging her tight she kisses my stubble cheek. Placing my hands on her stomach she smiles. Smiling back at her. "Joshua never showed up". Telling her she wraps her arms around my neck placing her face in the crook of my neck. Having her in my arms she is safe.
