Time skip three months

Lilly's POV

It has been three months since Mason, and I found out I was pregnant. My belly had grown a fair bit and so had Mason's excitement. Every day he would ask me how I'm feeling. Thank fully the morning sickness had stopped and so had the mood swings. Mason, actually put up with the mood swings really well even though during one of my angrier mood swings I threw a plate at him and hit his permanent bruise that must have hurt like hell because he had to take one of his pain killers. I still had the odd craving here and there, but nothing out of control.

Right now I was just relaxing at home while I was waiting to get home from his job at his own gun factory. He had it built after he came up with a new style of gun. It has the stock of an AK-47 and takes the ammo for an AK-47 but had the front of an Armalite and the barrel of an AK-47 it had the operating parts of an AK-47. It was actually really popular. We had already made at least 15 million dollars, but we didn't go crazy with all the money. We used some of it to pay off the cars, some to pay off the house, some to pay back our debt, some to pay off the wedding and the rest we put in a bank account.

I then heard the growl of a hemi cuda followed by the engine turning off and footsteps. I got up and then Mason, walked in and gave me a kiss and said "Hello by beautiful wife. How are you and our unborn children doing?" I smiled and said "we are doing good. They were being a little fussy on what they wanted for lunch but we quickly decided on a tuna sandwich." He chuckled and asked "have they started kicking yet?" I giggled and said "Not yet but they should start soon. How was work?"

He chuckled and said "It was busy as usual. One of the workers actually came up with another idea for a gun. It looks like a 1911 but takes Glock mags and has the operating system of Glock." I then said "It sounds like it would be a really big hit. What are you going to do about it?" he then said "I told him I would get back to him tomorrow." I then asked "What would you like for dinner?" he thought for a moment and said "Spaghetti and meatballs sounds nice." I smiled and said "That's what I was thinking."

We then went into the kitchen to make dinner.

Mason's POV

I was cutting up Rosemary when suddenly I heard the front door open and close. I knew that it wasn't Lilly because she was beside me. "Lilly stay in the kitchen and hide." I then pulled out the double barrel 1911 I carry for protection.(The same one that Winston, Kate, Lilly, and Eve got him) I put the safety off and carefully walked out to the living room.

I then yelled "FREEZE!" as I turned the corner. I was surprised by who I saw. It was Derek. I ran over to him and saw that he was bleeding from a bullet wound in his gut. I hollered for Lilly and she came out with the Smith & Wesson bodyguard 380. I got her.

When she saw Derek she ran over and asked with worry in her voice "What happened?" he then said with pain in his voice "I got ambushed at my house and I got shot. I ran as fast as I could to get here because they are still hunting me." I then asked "Who is hunting you?" he coughed up some blood and said "This guy Al's family. I put Al behind bars for life. And I guess that they want revenge."

I nodded and holstered my gun and said "Lilly grab the car keys." I then put his arm over my shoulder and said "It's just like the old days. Here I am, saving your sorry ass again Blackeye." He chuckled and I opened the door and I said "Lilly cover us." She nodded and we went out to the car and we got in and I locked the door behind us and Derek and I got into the back seat and Lilly drove and Derek said "I missed the old days with you Headshot." I chuckled and said "The only difference is that we are grown up now and instead of you getting into a fight with someone, you have a bullet in the gut."

He chuckled and started coughing up some blood. I then said "Remember that one time you saved my ass." He nodded and smiled and said "How could I forget dragging you literally behind a building while the RUC ran by us."

I felt Derek's pulse starting to get faster. "Derek don't speak. You've lost a fair bit of blood and you need to save your strength." He nodded and I kept pressure on the wound.

Soon we got to the hospital and I opened the door and by this point Derek had passed out from blood loss. I put is body across my shoulders and ran into the ER when I got in there Lilly ran up to the desk and said "we need help!" then a nurse with two doctors came out with a stretcher and I set him down on it and said "He's got a bullet from a handgun in his gut and he is allergic to penicillin. His name is Derek Sands McFalk. He is captain of the S.W.A.T. team." They nodded and rushed him into the operating room.

I then took a seat and the lady behind the desk came over and handed me a glass of water and some alcohol pads to wipe my hands on "Thank you." She nodded in response before I opened the alcohol pad and cleaned my hands off and Lilly sat down next to me. I took a sip of water before I asked "are you ok Lilly?" she nodded and said "I'm fine and so are they" I then said "Good."

Lilly then pulled me into a hug and said "Don't worry about Derek. If he can survive getting into all those fights growing up I am sure that he survive this. Remember he is pure blood Irish. He's a fighter." I nodded and returned the hug and kissed Lilly's cheek. "Thanks honey." She smiled and said "Your welcome. Now what's all this about Derek saving you one time?" I chuckled and said "You really want to know?" Lilly nodded and I sighed

Flashback

Mason's POV

Derek and I were wandering around west Belfast when we saw an RUC patrol. Derek looked at me and said "Ready to go again headshot?" I nodded and grabbed a rock off the ground and threw it as hard as I could and nailed the leader right in the back of the head. The patrol stopped and looked in our direction and Derek threw his stone and hit one of them in the shoulder.

We were laughing our heads off and they continued their march and we continued to throw stones at them and they snapped and grabbed a Rubber bullet (More like a rubber missile) and loaded it and fired at us and it hit me right in the arm.

I fell down and was screaming in pain when Derek grabbed me and dragged me behind a grocery store and put his hand over my mouth to muffle my screaming. When the patrol was gone He took his hand away from my mouth and I started breathing really fast and said through clenched teeth "For the love of God that hurts! Was that a real bullet?" he shook his head and said "That was a rubber bullet. Nailed you really good though."

I then looked at my arm and saw a huge bruise already forming. I looked at Derek and said "Thanks for saving me Blackeye." He nodded and said "Let's get you home. No doubt your mother's gonna lose her mind while your dad is going to be proud of you." I nodded and he helped me up and we made our way to my house.

End Flashback

I looked at Lilly and she sighed and said "I should have known." I smiled and kissed her and said "I'm sur that you have a battle wound or two." She shook her head and said "I'm not a fighter." I chuckled and said "We're like fire and ice. Me being a rebel that would throw stones at RUC patrols for fun and get into fights on a daily basis. You being an innocent, delicate flower that would spend her time reading a book and turn her nose up to show offs." She smiled and said "your right there my love." I kissed her and asked her "I'm curious. What did you see in Garth?"

Lilly took a breath and said "I saw a handsome guy with a big strong body and was really popular and I thought that he would treat me like a queen." She paused and continued "Turns out I saw a monster in a perfect looking body that would cheat on me right in front of me and treat me like dirt."

I wiped her eyes and said "You don't have to worry about that monster anymore. He is never coming back." I then pulled Lilly into a comforting hug.

6 hours later

The doctor walked out and said "Derek is going to be okay. We thought he wouldn't make it but he pulled through. You can go see him if you want to." We nodded and the doctor led us to where Derek was. When we walked in Derek said "Hey guys." We walked over and said "Hello there Mr. Tough guy."

He chuckled and we sat down and talked for a while before a nurse came in and said "Visiting hours are over." We said goodbye to Derek and headed home and went to bed.
