Chapter 5

AN ok so the chapters are going to start coming on a daily basis, because I've finished the story I just have to get it typed up. Thanks you taintedpromises, raynornlimegreen, Xxhybridk10, and offurylikewiccansscorned for reviewing my story, keep checking back for more.

The next morning Morgan woke to her daughter crying. She crawled out of bed, got a bottle from the kitchen and went to feed her daughter. As she sat in the rocker by Serenities crib, she thought of the way her daughter instinctively sucked the bottle. When serenity was born, she knew her mother's arms. Would she know her father the same way? If Hunter picked her up when she cried, would Serenity stop, knowing she's in a safe set of arms? "I guess we better get you dressed nicely."

Hunter woke up with a massive head ache. He hated hang overs but never used spells to get rid of them. It had been a long time since he had been that drunk. Even when he left Morgan, he didn't drink that much.

It started with the beer, and then Sky brought out tequila and vodka.

After getting dresses in clothes that he had know Idea he forgot there, he made his way downstairs. Once in the kitchen he gave Sky a grunt of hello and pored himself a cup of tea.

"so, what are we doing today? start setting up protective spells on Morgan's house?"

Sky didn't say anything at first but then spoke up. "Morgan has her place more protected that we could ever make it."

Hunter sat at the table and looked at Sky in dismay. "Then what do you want me to do here?"

Sky smiled, "well I'm going to Practical Magick to stock up on some stuff. You have to talk to Morgan." Sky handed hunter directions to Morgan's house and left.

It took Hunter another 20 minutes to get out the door and walk the few blocks to Morgan's.

Morgan's pov

I was still in my pajamas when I felt Hunter come up the walk. I didn't have time to run upstairs and change. Plus, Serenity was in her swinging chair and I couldn't just leave her alone. I opened the door just before he knocked. Hell, he still looked good as ever. "Hey come in, I can make some tea, do you want tea, of coarse you want tea." I was talking to fast but Hunter did that to me. Even after he tossed me aside, my heart raced at the sight of him. It was stupid; we didn't love each other anymore. We completely changed and grew apart and barely even know each other anymore. So why was I making a fool of myself.

Hunter's POV

Morgan started to rush around. She said something about going to get changed and disappeared up the stairs.

I stood in the entrance way looking at the pictures. There were some of her family, some of her and Serenity. There were a lot of her friends.

I took a step forward. Right at the end of the group of pictures was a picture Kithic. I had to bend over just to see it. Everyone in the picture was all smiles. It was a picture taken at the cemetery just before Morgan left for Scotland. Most of the people were dressed in their best on their way to the prom. There, frozen in time, was Morgan, dressed in the most beautiful dress. I had my arms around her. Things were different then. I miss those times. I wish that I could step into the picture and live there forever.

When I stood up getting out of my memories, I heard a small cry. I walked into the living room, by the time I got there the cry changed into a full out wail. I had been around enough babies to know to pick her up. Once in my arms the baby went back to sleep. She was amazing. She had blond fuzz on her head and a small nose just like me. And she was small, so small.

I turned around when I felt Morgan behind me. "She was crying." Morgan nodded her head. Goddess she was beautiful. She looked exactly the same except her hair was shorter and her chest was a lot bigger. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to take away any pain I had caused her. I wanted to make a family with her and our beautiful daughter. I wanted to make this right again.

"We need to talk. I have a lot to tell you." Hell she had a lot to tell me too.

Flash back

I tried to fight them. But they were way to strong. Amyranth had cornered me. I could finally see the leader come forward. It was Killian; he bent down to where they had me pinned to the ground. "Stay away from Morgan, far, far way. If you leave her we won't touch a single hair on her head." Killian stood and walked away. As the members of Amyranth walked away, I could feel the magical binds release me. I was too spent to go after them. I knew then what I had to do. And that hurt more than the witch fire Amyranth had assaulted me with.

Morgan's POV

"That's why I did what I did. I love you, Morgan; I've never stopped loving you. And I want to fight amyranth together. I'm not going anywhere, I'm not leaving again." Hunter finished talking and all I wanted to do was jump into his arms and forgive him.

Then I looked at Serenity. My heart hardened in a second. He wasn't there the nights I cried myself to sleep. Wasn't there when I chose to leave Scotland. And, especially, he wasn't here for my pregnancy. Hunter lifted his hand to my face and I pushed it away. The look on hunter's face was heart breaking.

"You can't come in here and expect me to just let you into my life. You ran away Hunter. You chose to up and leave in the middle of the night without another word."

Anger flared in Hunter's eyes. "I'm sorry, but I think you kept a bigger secret from me." It was like a slap in the face. It took everything in me not to hit him.

"You left me Hunter, what was I suppose to say. For all I knew you would think it was a ploy to keep me with you." I was yelling and Serenity started to cry.

Hunter stood up. I had almost forgotten how tall he was until that moment.

"Well actually, now that you bring it up, birth control spells were what you took care of. It is a little suspicious that the one time you conveniently forgot, is the night I told you we were over." Hunter was yelling too.

I got to my feet and slapped him in the face. "Get the fuck out of my house, you bastard."

Hunter grabbed his jacket and slammed the door behind him.

AN he how you like the new chapter. The answer to why hunter left. Any what it gets better soon. Review and you'll get another chapter.
