The days dragged on and really I wouldn't listen to too much that was being said, no I was only interested in the people behind me. Every so often I would glance back to make sure he was still there I don't know why but it always gave me an ounce of relief. That he and our kids were okay but then one day arrived and he wasn't there. Instead there was his brother in his place.

If I wasn't in front of the judges I would have whipped around but I had to sit there the entire time with the same thoughts running around in my mind. Was he okay? He still loved me because there was Matthew but it still ate at me like nothing else.

Once we were back in our cell I nearly burst into tears, "He lost it…he lost our baby."

"You don't know that." Ludwig said softly as he tried to inch closer to me, "Maybe he's sick or Matthew told him to spend time with Cain and Julia." Slowly he reached out and managed to take my hand, "Don't automatically think the worst."

I squeezed it before the doors opened and I shoved him back with my boot. It was harsh but he understood why I did it. Especially when he saw who it was, "What have you two done?" Our father asked as he glared down at us. "Gilbert I understand but damn it Ludwig I taught you better." He said with a loud growl.

"We're not five years old." I managed as I turned away from him.

Quickly he grabbed my shoulder and whipped me around to meet his eyes, "Then stop acting like it. You do realize that if I wasn't your father you're happy little ass would be going to the shooting range?"

If my hands were free I would have shoved him back, "No I'd probably be in a nice cot instead of on this hard ass floor." I didn't even blink as he tried to stare me down. "But is that all you really came to say?"

Finally he let go of my shoulder and stood back up, "When were you planning on telling me that you mated with a male Omega?"

"When," I started as I looked away. I was never ashamed of Alfred yet I always knew what he would think, "This trial was over."

He smirked, "That's bullshit and you know it. You never planned on telling me so I look like a complete fool when I get here and find a Mr. instead of a Mrs. and a pregnant one at that!" I knew what was coming and quickly I felt his hand hit the back of my head. "How many? I know of the boy but what is this one!?"

I just stared at my brother, "So now he's just the boy?"

"Probably a little omega like that mother of his." My father snorted as he crossed his arms.

"Actually." My brother said as he started to stand up, "He's an Alpha and his sister is a Beta."

My father turned back to me though I refused to look at him, "Oh so he's gotten lucky." I could tell by his tone of voice that he was smirking slightly, "I bet this next one will be a little Omega shit."

"Ludwig don't you think it's funny that now they're Omega shit but last I checked our sisters were both Omegas."

Suddenly I felt his warm spit on my face, "You little Bastard. Don't you dare bring up your sisters." He pointed at me as he wickedly glared, "It's your fault Annabelle's dead in the first place!"

Only then did I calm stand, "She died in an accident."

"But she was only there because of that idiot friend of yours, who I haven't seen once." He shook his head as he turned on his heels, "At least he must have grown a fucking brain and hid."

"Hid? Would you have said that if we hid instead of gave ourselves up?"

Just before he closed the door he sighed, "I'm not even going to answer that." And with that he slammed the door.

I stood there for a moment as I was filled with dread. If he wanted to lash out what would stop him from knocking on my front door and hurting my mate? It would be possible given what had happened to my mother years before so it was then that I decided to use my one phone call. So as the guards looked on I dialed as fast as my fingers could go.

"Hello?" I heard after two rings.

It was so good to hear his voice when it wasn't yelling at one of the judges, "Bluebird." I said softly.

He let out a happy gasp, "Gilbert, oh shit hold on let me put Julia down…" I chuckled warmly as he sat her down and came back on the line, "Are you okay?"

As I leaned on the wall I played with the phone cord in my fingers, "I could as you the same thing…why weren't you in court today?"

After a small pause he answered, "Matthew thought I wasn't taking good care of myself being away from the kids and sitting there all day so, I mean he has a point though I won't tell him that." He sounded slightly nervous, "But I'm as okay as I can be."

"Good." I answered, "And the pup's fine?"

I could just tell he was smiling, "Yeah though I was thinking…"

"Yeah?" I asked though I had an idea of what it was.

"Well I think Matthew should sit in a few times…I'm going to be there all I can but I don't want Cain and Julia to lose both parents."

While I was going to hate not seeing him every day I was still his mate and had to think of his wellbeing besides the fact that he wasn't exactly asking but telling me what he was going to do. "I was thinking the same things." I said with a halfhearted smile. "And can you do one thing for me?"

"Sure babe, uh I mean..."

I chuckled, "Do I hear a pet name?"

It was odd but I found it cute, "Maybe you do." He said with a light teasing tone.

"Awesome but back to what I want you to do…I want you to contact Scott and tell him what's going on."

"I think that's a good idea." He answered as the guard looked at his watch, "Um how much longer can we talk?"

"My guess just a few minutes but I proud of you and when all this shit is over I want to help you plant some of those flowers of yours."

"I'm proud of you too and I'd like that…we could plant some nice roses for our daughters." That phase made me grin, "Oh shit I wanted that to be a surprise."

"It's okay." I said with a light hearted laugh. It was strange how normal our call was being and it was almost as if it was just a twisted dream instead. But once the guard started to walk up I knew it wasn't that that our time was up, "I have to go but I love you."

Just before I hung up I heard him answer, "I love you too."

As I put the phone back on the hook I grinned. "What the hell are you smiling at?" The guard asked as he put the handcuffs back on me.

"I'm having an awesome little girl." I answered though I was sure he was just going to roll his eyes he actually smiled back at me.

"Congratulations." He said warmly as he led me back to my cell, "First?"

"Third."

"Nice." He said as he put my ankle shackle back on, "My girl is hoping to find out our second pup's gender in a few days."

I nodded, "What are you hoping for?"

As he walked to the door he smiled, "I think what we all hope for really."

"Healthy."

"Exactly." He said as he closed the door behind him.

For that one moment we weren't guard and prisoner but proud Alphas. We had all a lot in common though we seemed to forgotten it as the trial and the hysteria around it took hold. We were all the same underneath and whether some liked it or not I still bleed the same as they did.
