Declaimer: Once again I do not own any of the characters from Moonlight, they all belong to CBS. I'm just using them for my own enjoyment and the enjoyment of others.

Chapter Fourteen

"Was it something we said?" asked Josef as he heard the door slam.

"She thinks that we're trying to control her every move,"

"I just want to make sure that she's safe and going out without protection is not safe. You and I know that some vampire or business enemy could just come up and grab her if she is unprotected,"

"You know that and I know that but Beth sees it different,"

"I won budge on this. Their my kids to and I want them safe. I would never forgive myself if something happened to Beth or the babies and there was something I could have done to prevent it,"

"I know that. Why don't I go and talk to her and see if I can convince here to work from here,"

Mick walked upstairs and knocked on the door and Beth answered it. She moved aside so he could come in. He saw her laptop on the bed open and running and it looked like she had been typing something.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you two downstairs. I know that you both are trying to protect me. It's just that I feel trapped sometimes. Don't get me wrong I think it's great that Josef wants to protect me and the babies and this is an amazing place but I need my freedom now and then,'

"I realize that and I'm sorry for the way we acted down there. It's just that Josef is really worried and he's handling it in the best way he can. This all new for him I mean none of us thought that anything like this would happen,"

"I never realized how hard this must be for him. Being a 400 year old vampire and expecting twins when he thought that vampires couldn't have children,"

"Yeah he has gone hundreds of years thinking he knew everything about our world and then this happened. It's thrown him off of his game a bit, but I can tell that he warming up to the idea of being a father.

There was a knock on the door and it opened to reveal Josef on the other side and he had a plate in his hand full of apple slices, grapes and cheese.

"I bring peace offering. I'm sorry about earlier,"

"So am I it's just that I don't like being cooped up here. It's a great place and all but I do have a life outside of these walls,"

"Well I was thinking that you might be able to return to work it you agree to me having a guard go with you,"



"Okay I'll do it. Heck if having a guard follow me around means I can go back to work I'll do it just make sure he stays out of my way,"

"I can't make any promises about that but I'll see what I can do,"

"Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me,"

The Next Morning

Beth woke up with a smile on her face; she was returning to work today. She had shower and got dressed. Beth arrived at work at 8:30 and her guard which was some guy dressed in black and wearing sun glasses standing at the end of her desk.

"Hey Beth your back," said Mo.

"Yeah I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days but I feel much better,"

"That's good news. Who's the suit?"

"A friend of mine is over protective of me and thinks I needed some protection,"

"I can see the point, a lot of weird stuff happens in this city and a lot of it seem to involve you and your P.I friend. So are you ready to get down to work?"

"I was born ready lets go,"

What no one was a strange man standing off in the distance so no one could see him. He had found his assignment, his boss had ordered him to follow Miss Turner around. He wasn't sure why but he was being paid a lot of money to do this so he didn't care. All he cared about was doing his job and getting paid anything else that happened wasn't his fault.

Okay that it the end of chapter fourteen, I would have had it up yesterday but we had a lot of storm and a tornado warning so I thought it would be better to wait until it was nicer outside to post this
