Mommy cries and kicks her feet, she says she is 'kicking the habit' I don't know what it means but it can't be good if she is kicking me in her sleep. We lay together in a big bed, it's my mom's sister and brother-in-law, named auntie Sophia and uncle Kyle. My mom still kicks so tonight I get up and roam the house, I am thirsty and hungry. I climb down the stairs backwards because I am scared of falling like I did the first time I was here. I go to the room that keeps our food cold, aunt Sophia called it a kitchen, I looked for a glass and pulled a chair out, that's when I heard a noise. "Christian, what you doing out of bed?" My uncle Kyle stood at the doorway. Scared that I did something wrong I frozen then my bottoms got wet. I looked down and up at my uncle. "Oh it's ok buddy, you had an accident, lets get you cleaned up and back to bed." He reached for me, "no," he stood back, raising his hands,
"ok you don't want to be touched?" I shook my head.
"no bed, no mommy," was all I could say. His warm smile brought me comfort.
"Is mommy kicking again?" I nodded. "Ok well tonight lets get you cleaned up and we will let you sleep in our bed. Did you come down here for water?" I nodded. "Okay would you like some?"
"Yes", was all I could say, uncle Kyle reached for the glasses then as he turned he turned into mommy's mean friend the one who smells like drink and cigarettes. "Well too bad you little shit good boys who don't wet the bed, get water, now come here!" He had a lit cigarette in his hand I'm scared it looks like he will do it again. He grabs me by the hair I start screaming in hopes somebody will hear me somebody will want to save me. Only the person was Ana.
"Christian wake up, wake up." I look up and she was over me again. This was night two I had waited until Angela had passed out, we brought her home from the hospital after her rapist tried to make an unscheduled visit lucky for us, Taylor was on it. Ana looked me over as we lay there, I sat up with my head in my hands. "They start out normal flash backs then they take a turn and I'm back with the nightmare. I don't know what I am going to do."
She leaned up on her elbows. "I think you should talk to Dr. Flynn again, in fact I think the both of you should talk to Flynn, might do you some good." I nodded and looked the time, too early for the piano since Teddy was sleeping upstairs and it might wake Angela. But it wasn't too early for a run. "I'm going for a run, you guys ok if I leave?" Ana nodded.
"Yeah we should be fine." I went to my closet and pulled out my grey hoody and my black running pants with runners. I couldn't wait for Nicolas to come back and that was what I was hoping what would happen soon.
I ran over to Fairmount Seattle to talk to Nicolas. He has to take her back, I want my wife and bed back. I pound on his door at 5 am in the morning. "Grey!" He was surprised to see me at this hour, "how's my girl?"
"you girl is giving nightmares, she clings to Ana and she hasn't her side for a moment." I pace, "Nicolas, why you after this guy? What's he done to you?"
Nicolas sat there, and rubbed his face. Another place another time Nicolas could have been good partners or friends but never family, Angela being from my mother, and finding out a month ago I had a twin named Clara, made my life a living hell. My mother was beside herself, more family to love. My sister Mia was pissed now she wasn't the only one. Elliot couldn't care less, but it was me who had the ties. I wish I didn't.
Nicolas pulled himself to me, I maybe be 6 foot but this man towered over me even his body was one I didn't want to mess with, him being Ex-army as well as his bodyguards. I didn't want to mess with any of them, they all looked like they Nicolas. "you wouldn't understand Grey."
I pull closer to him, "I have cigarette burns from my mother's pimp, try me." He pulled back.
"He stole my wife's innocents before she knew she was a woman, I wanted her when she was 9 years old, she was the reason I stayed alive in the army, he fucking beat me Christian, he beat me to a pulp Christmas morning, and if I didn't tell her to hide he would have found her again, and...and..." I grabbed him holding on to him.
"Nicolas, I promise in the next few days we will get him, if I can track my ex-lovers not to do something stupid then we can catch him in the act and lock him away for a very long time. In the mean time, do you want to see your wife?" He nodded agasit my shoulder. I let go of the big giant and he followed me out of the hotel room. I had mu surveillance team do a sweep for bugs and then to bug the room ourselves to make sure he wouldn't be killed when he was least expecting it.
Nicolas jogged back to my house at Escala, we went up to the penthouse where Gail was making breakfast for everyone. "give me five minutes there is a spare room, upstairs and I will take Ana and teddy out for breakfast." A smile crept across his face. Ana was just waking up, I pulled Ana in to the bathroom. "Get dressed Nicolas is here to spend time with Angela, so lets get outta here" Ana quickly pecked me, and ran to the clothes to get her clothes out as I ran upstairs to where my old office was and got Teddy up and ready for his day. We left shortly before 6am and I knew the terrors would go away I just hope that so would Angela's.
