Chapter 6

Two and a half months later: Sunday evening

"I got it" Kieran calls hearing the knock on the front door. She opens the door to find a tall blond haired woman standing there "Yes?"

"I'm looking for Dominick." She announces

"Dominick there's someone here" Kieran calls unconsciously resting her hand on her stomach

Dominick walks up behind Kieran "What are you doing here Sasha?" he demands

"Dom what's going on?" Kieran asks suddenly conscious of the other woman's eyes looking her over.

"Who's the kid?" The blonde asks her eyes showing her disdain.

"Baby, why don't you go back upstairs?" Dominick suggests. "I'll be up in a minute."

Kieran sees the look on his face and knows not to argue, "Don't be to long." She squeezes his hand and walks up the stairs to the nursery.

"What are you doing here?" Dominick demands with a low growl

"I came to see you" Sasha replies running her finger down his cheek

"Don't" he growls pushing her hand away

She enters moving closer "I came to see you Dominick" she purrs

"Get out of here" he orders

"You left me in Vegas" she smiles "I waited for you in bed and you never came back" she sighs her eyes hardening "So you left me for her"

Dominick glares at her "No what was there to leave?" he asks

"Come on you know she's only a kid. You need a woman who can please you. Does she please you like I can?"

"She pleases me more than anyone" he replies "Now get out!"

Sasha glares at him "You bastard you left me for that...that slut" she stutters

"Leave" he orders his eyes flashing angrily "and if you ever come back" he threatens

Sasha moves towards the door "No one leaves me. You'll pay." She threatens slamming the door behind her.

Dominick shudders at the anger in her voice and eyes. He runs his fingers through his hair as he sighs reluctantly as he heads upstairs to the nursery. He leans against the doorframe he watches as his lover move around the room. He smiles as she picks up a big teddy bear hugging it

"Hey little person you are going to get a bunch of cool stuffed animals." She laughs picking up a stuffed pig "Here's Mr. Gordo. He belonged to your grandma and then to your Daddies. Now he's going to be yours."

Dominick chuckles wrapping his arms around her waist "Yeah little person Mr. Gordo's yours now." he kisses her cheek "How do you feel love?" he asks resting his hands on her feeling the baby moving under her skin

"A little tired." She admits "And sore."

"Kieran go rest." He suggests

"Dominick who was that lady?" she asks curiously

"No one" he lies looking at his feet

"Dom talk to me." She orders. "Who is she?"

Dominick leads her to the rocking chair "Sit down" he tells her

Kieran sits down "So?"

"Her name is Sasha." He begins "She's a friend of an old college buddy of mine, Mike. I went to visit Mike in Vegas and hung out with her. Kieran I didn't mean to... I swear."

"You fucked her" Kieran states softly looking at him

Dominick nods reluctantly "I'm sorry. It was an accident... I got drunk one night and the next morning there she was." he kneels before her "I'm so sorry baby. It was a total accident"

Kieran nods "I know baby." She touches his cheek "I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose." She runs her fingers through his hair "Just don't do it again"

"I won't. I promise" he kisses her knuckles

"If you do I'll have to hurt you." She smiles kissing his forehead, "Now lets get working." She stands. "Baby what do you think of the nursery so far?"

Dominick smiles looking around at the animal theme, "Its very cute." He tells her "I like the border paper" he chuckles

Kieran worries her lower lip between her teeth "Do you think its gender neutral?"

"Kieran why is that so important?" Dominick asks

Kieran shrugs "'Cause I've seen what happens to kids whose parents go for gender specific themes. The girls become totally girly. The guys think sports are the only thing in the world."

"OK" he surrenders "What about the other room?"

Kieran stretches her back, "I'm thinking that it should be a simple room maybe leave most of the stuff in there so we can have a study."

"I thought you wanted to turn one of the rooms on the second floor into a study?"

"I was thinking that then I thought what if someone wants to study while the baby sleeps? So I thought that we could move the weapons and some of the books we rarely use to the second floor study."

"All right. I'll see if the guys can come over sometime this weekend and help move things"

"The girls might come over to help me with the rooms." Kieran informs him

Motel

"You son of a bitch" she yells slamming the door shut. "He shot me down for a kid." She shrieks throwing things. "No one shoots me down"

"She has what you deserve to have" a dark voice tells her "She carries what's yours"

"All that should be mine." Sasha screams

"Take it you have the power. You are the one who deserves Angelus and William the Bloody's legacies." the voice remarks

"That I do."

"I have the perfect way to get it." The voice announces

"Do tell" Sasha requests

Cemetary

"I'm back" the voice chuckles lighting up a cigarette "Time to make things right"

"Its about time." A voice chuckles

The figure turns around smiling at the sight before him "It has been awhile pet. You've changed"

"Its been what?" she asks "Ten years or so?"

"Its good to see you Tara." he grins stepping out of the shadows

"How've you been... Spike?" Tara asks looking over the familiar form. "I see you haven't changed much" she chuckles

"Hey" he protests

"Need a place to stay?" Tara asks

Spike shakes his head "No me and Dru will stay at an old factory on 6th and Shelby"

"All right. Just keep a low profile. Try to keep Dru from killing anyone" Tara tells him

"Thanks" he nods "We'll stay out of sight."

"Good"

Chapter 7

Monday morning

Kieran awakens with a start her mind fuzzy from her dream

"You OK?" Dominick asks

Kieran runs her fingers through her tangled hair "Yea I just had a dream" she answers resting her hands on her stomach

"What was it about?" inquires Dominick

Kieran frowns "I'm not really sure. All I remember is something dark... evil. That's all I can remember"

Dominick senses her concern "Everything will be OK" he kisses her cheek "Now we need to get ready" He watches as Kieran makes a run for the bathroom. Wincing sympathetically as he hears her gag. "You OK?"

Kieran groans in response

"Hon I have to leave early do you want me to call Brent and see if he can pick you up?" Dominick asks as he pulls on his clothes

"No thanks. Tara said she'd pick me up she wanted to talk to me about something"

"All right. I'll pick you up after school" he calls from the doorway

" 'kay" Kieran groans

"Want anything before I leave?" he asks

Kieran looks up to see him buttoning his shirt "No baby. I'm fine." she smiles slightly "I'll see you later"

"Love you" he smiles shyly

"I know. I love you too" she watches as he leaves "and you" she whispers looking down at her abdomen

Fifteen minutes later

"Kieran?" Tara calls

"I'm upstairs" Kieran yells then leans over the toilet coughing

"Hey you" Tara greets entering the bathroom "you OK?" she asks

"Uh yeah. I think I'm finally done." Kieran groans standing up. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" she asks as she puts toothpaste on her toothbrush

"Um I was wondering if you finished reading your parents journals?" Tara asks

"No. Things have been a little busy" Kieran answers

"Oh."

"Why?" Kieran inquires

"Just wondering" Tara answers watching as Kieran heads into the bedroom

"Tara, can I ask you something?" Kieran asks hesitantly as she pulls on a long sleeved shirt

"You can ask me anything. You know that" Tara replies sitting on the bed

Kieran pulls on her overalls "Have you ever met anyone" she pauses snapping her overall buckles "anyone who automatically made you uncomfortable?"

"Why are you asking me?" Tara inquires curiously

Kieran leads Tara down to the kitchen

"Kieran sit down I'll make you breakfast"

"But" Kieran protests

"Kieran sit. You need to rest"

"Fine" Kieran agrees reluctantly sitting down

"So tell me why did you ask?"

"Yesterday before Dom went on patrol this blond lady showed up. She made us nervous" she nods at her stomach

"Who was she?" Tara asks setting a bowl before Kieran

"Dom met her in Vegas while he was crashing with his friend Mike." she stirs her cereal absently "He fucked her."

"Oh Kieran" Tara touches her shoulder sympathetically

Kieran smiles sadly "I'm over it. He was drunk and woke up with her. I'm not mad at him. I never could be... I love him too much to be."

"What about this lady made you nervous?"

"I'm not sure. It was just something about her... something dark, evil."

"Did you tell Dominick?" Tara asks

"No" Kieran whispers shaking her head "He already felt bad about sleeping with her. I didn't want to make him feel worse."

"He loves you more than anything Kieran. I know he didn't mean to hurt you"

Kieran smiles "I know" she finishes her cereal quickly "Tara thanks"

"For what?"

"Everything" Kieran shrugs

"Your welcome" she smiles "We better get going" Tara glances at the clock "Don't want you to be late to school"

"Or you to work" Kieran laughs standing swaying "Oh man" she groans

"You OK?" Tara asks going to her side

Kieran nods leaning against the counter "Just a little dizzy" she takes a deep breath "I'm fine now"

"All right." Tara nods relieved

Kieran giggles at a sudden movement. "Glad to see your awake little one." She says jokingly "I wish..." she trails off sadly

"What?" Tara asks softly

Kieran keeps her eyes down "That Daddy was here. I miss him. I miss all of them" she wipes away a few fallen tears

"I know I miss them too" Tara remarks "Dominick does also"

She nods "I know" she picks up her backpack "We better go"

Tara leads Kieran out to the car. Ten minutes later Tara pulls up in front of the school "Have fun" she chuckles

Kieran rolls her eyes "Oh yeah I will" she gets out of the car "Are you coming over for dinner tonight?"

"Um" Tara hesitates "I don't think I can. I have some things to take care of"

"If you change your mind Dom's cooking"

"All right. I'll talk to you later" Tara waves

Kieran walks into the school to her locker where she finds Brent waiting "Hey you" she greets giving him a hug

"Hi" he hugs her back "How are you?" he asks

Kieran sighs opening her locker "Had a major gross out" Kieran answers

"More than I needed to know" Brent says holding up his hand

"Hey Kieran is dinner still on?" Chaos asks joining them

"As far as I know" Kieran answers closing her locker she leans against it wearily

"Are you OK?" Brent asks touching her shoulder

Kieran nods "Yeah I am. I'm just a little tired" she rubs her forehead "I better get to class"

"Kieran you don't look so good." Brent observes

"I'm OK." she smiles faintly

"I'll carry your books to class." Chaos offers

Kieran smiles gratefully "Thank you" she hands him her books she walks in the direction of her next class

"Man she doesn't look good" Chaos states looking after the half vampire

"I know. I'm going to call Dom. He wanted me to keep an eye on her" Brent sighs. "She seems off"

"One of us should be with her between classes." Chaos says thoughtfully

"I'll talk to the girls. You better catch up with her." Brent suggests

Chaos nods jogging after Kieran

Brent heads to the nearest payphone dialing the familiar number "Pick up" he mutters

"Hello?" asks Dominick

"Dominick its Brent"

"Is something wrong with Kieran?" Dominick demands

"Um I'm not sure." Brent replies

"What does that mean?"

"She won't admit anything but she seems... off."

"Off how?"

"I'm not sure. I can't explain it"

"Look, keep an eye on her if she seems any different call me."

"I will" Brent promises

"Thanks" Dominick says relieved he hangs up

Hearing the final bell ring Brent races towards his first class

Lunchtime

"Hey Kieran" Jez greets as the pregnant half vampire joins them at the lunch table

"Hi" she replies sitting down

"How are you feeling?" asks Brent

"Fine" Kieran shrugs

"How's the kid?" asks Lise

"Not as rambunctious as normal" Kieran frowns slightly concerned as she absently strokes her belly

"Maybe the kid's just giving you a break." Jez suggests

Kieran shrugs "Maybe"

"Hey have you guys decided on a name?" Lise inquires

"Not yet. We haven't really had a chance to talk about it." Kieran admits "Between his work, school and taking over my patrols, getting the mansion ready to my schoolwork we haven't had the chance."

"Wow he's doing a lot" Lise states

"I know." Kieran sighs. "I wish he'd take it easy"

"Kieran he's just trying to get things ready for the baby" Brent comforts

"I know I just miss having him around"

"Have you decided if you want to know what you're having?" Jez asks

"I do but I don't" Kieran admits. "It would make things easier when it comes to names and clothes"

"So what's the problem?" Lise inquires

"I don't know" Kieran groans. "I know that its not that I want to be surprised. I hate to be surprised."

"We know" Brent chuckles causing the others to laugh

"I guess I'm not ready to know yet."

"Why not?" questions Lise

"I guess it makes this all more real you know."

"It is real" Brent points out

"I know" she smiles slightly absently rubbing her stomach "I know"

After School

Kieran opens her locker jumping in surprise when arms wrap around her waist. She sighs when she recognizes the familiar scent, "Hey you surprised me." She admonishes relaxing

"I missed you" Dominick whispers nuzzling her neck his hands resting on her stomach "both of you" he kisses the scar on her neck

"We missed you too." Kieran turns around kissing his cheek she hugs him tightly

"What's wrong Kiera?" Dominick asks

"Nothing. Just a little tired" she answers

"Let's go home then." He suggests taking her backpack he takes her hand.

"Oh" Kieran says startled her hand going to her belly

"Something wrong?" Dominick asks concerned

Kieran shakes her head smiling "The baby's been quiet most of the day. Just surprised me"

He nods

"So how was your day?" Kieran asks as they walk out to the car

"Long" Dominick answers opening the passenger door

"Do you have to go back to work?" Kieran asks buckling the seatbelt

"No. I took the afternoon off" Dominick tells her "I thought we could spend the afternoon together"

"Really?" Kieran asks hopefully

"Really. We haven't had much time to ourselves. We've been busy with school, work and getting ready for the baby. We can do what you want this afternoon"

Kieran smiles happily "Just us?"

"Just us" he nods

"What I want to do?"

"What you want to do." He confirms

"Hmmm" Kieran says thoughtfully "What if I wanted you to say... do me in every room in the mansion. Would you?" she runs her hand up his thigh

"If you want." he says through gritted teeth

"That's one thing I want"

"What else?"

"I'll think of some others" she smiles as he pulls into the driveway

"I know you will"

Two hours later

"Thank you" Kieran says kissing his shoulder

"For what?" Dominick asks running his hand through her hair

"Taking the afternoon off."

"I'm sorry we haven't had much time together." he apologizes

Kieran takes his hand kissing his ring "Its OK. Just promise me something"

"Anything"

"That when the baby's born you won't work so hard."

"I won't. I promise."

"Thank you" she looks at him touching his cheek "Why are you working so hard I mean its not like we need the money. The Dads left us enough to live on"

"Kiera I explained this."

"Not really"

"Kiera I don't want to live off their money when I can work. We'll use the money from the Dads when we need it. Right now we don't need it."

Kieran groans "I know I just don't want the baby to grow up with out its Daddies"

"Kieran I promise that I will always be there for the baby"

So will I.

"I know. I'm probably being oversensitive"

Dominick kisses her nose "I promise that once the baby is born I won't work as often or as hard."

"Thank you" she smiles

Dominick looks at the bedside clock "I need to get up and start dinner. The gang will be here in an hour."

Kieran moves her head onto the pillow watching as her lover reaches for his pants "I'm going to take a nap wake me in 45 minutes"

"All right" Dominick kisses her "Love you"

"Love you too" Kieran pulls the blankets up close

"I'll wake you up in 45 minutes." He says from the doorway

" 'kay" she mumbles

Half an hour later

"Hey" Brent greets entering the kitchen with a grocery bag "I brought drinks"

"Just put them in the fridge." Dominick says

"So where's Kieran?" Brent asks opening the fridge

"She's sleeping." Dominick replies

"I take it you spent the afternoon in bed." Brent observes looking his friend over

Dominick smiles sheepishly as he realizes his shirt isn't buttoned. "Yeah well I said we could do what she wanted."

"And that's what she wanted" Brent muses

Dominick shrugs "That's what she wanted"

"How's she doing?"

"She said she's fine... just tired"

"Hey guys" Jez greets entering the kitchen with Lise and Chaos right behind. "We bring desert and movies." She announces

"Where's Kieran?" Chaos asks looking around

"Sleeping." Dominick answers looking at the clock, "I'll go wake her. Keep an eye on the food. Can someone set the table?"

"Sure man" Chaos nods

"Thanks" Dominick leaves the kitchen heading up to the third floor bedroom. Entering he smiles finding Kieran curled up asleep, "Kiera" he whispers stroking her arm gently

"Mmm" Kieran moans, "go 'way sleeping"

"Come on baby everyone's here. Dinner is almost ready" he leans down kissing her neck

Kieran groans opening her eyes, "I'm up"

"Come on Kiera" he pulls the blankets off her groaning at the sight of her naked body. "Get up and dressed." he orders

"All right" Kieran snaps sitting up she stretches her arms above her head. "Can you get me my pajama bottoms and a shirt?" she requests

"Sure." He agrees going to the dresser he pulls out her pajamas tossing them to her. "Here"

Kieran pulls them on "What's for dinner?" she asks standing

"Chicken, rice, and broccoli." Dominick replies pulling on a T-shirt

"Sounds good" Kieran says pulling her back in a messy bun. She goes over to Dominick pulling his head down kissing him deeply

"Baby" he purrs "We don't have time for this" he whispers leaning his forehead against hers

"I know." She groans pulling away reluctantly

"Hey you two get down here. We're hungry." Brent yells

"We'll be down in a sec." yells Dominick.

"We better get down there before Brent and Chaos get into the food and eat everything." Kieran looks down with a scowl "Not like I need the food. I'm fat" she grumbles walking out the door

"Kieran" he groans following her out the door "we've been through this, you aren't fat"

"Yes I am" she retorts entering the kitchen

"Am what?" asks Lise quizzically

"I'm fat" Kieran whines "and I'm gonna get fatter" she pouts

"Kieran you aren't fat." Dominick says sternly

"Oh please. I don't fit in many of my clothes." She groans

"Guys help me out here" Dominick requests

"You look good" Chaos compliments

"At least you aren't having twins" Jez states

"Most of the weight is the baby." Lise says

"All right, all right just give me food." Kieran growls

Dominick kisses her cheek, "Its almost ready."

" 'kay. Have you checked the messages yet?" Kieran asks

"Nope" Dominick shrugs "Why don't you check 'em"

Kieran nods picking up the phone she dials the number to retrieve their messages.

"You have six messages." The automated voice says

"Dominick its Mike give me a call."

"Mike called" Kieran tells Dominick

" 'kay"

Kieran frowns as she hears a female voice

"Dominick its Sasha just wanted to talk to you. I'll call back"

"Sasha called."

"What?" Dominick growls angrily "I told her to leave"

"She said she'd call back." Kieran tells him

"Who's Sasha?" Lise asks quzzically

"No one" Dominick answers gruffly

"Is the food ready? I'm starved" Chaos interrupts

"Yeah it is." Dominick replies "Kieran go sit down." he orders softly

Kieran hangs up the phone and sits down smiling up at Dominick as he places a plate before her "Thanks"

He smiles back placing a light kiss on her chin "Your welcome now eat"

Half an hour later

"Thanks for dinner Dom" Lise grins

"No prob. I like doing this. Its gives us a chance to catch up" he smiles standing he picks up his and Kieran's plates

"So what movies did you guys get?" Kieran asks

"Comedy and action" Chaos replies

"I'm going to go do a quick patrol." Dominick announces

"I'll come with." Chaos offers

"The men go patrol us weak women stay" Jez jokes

"I'm not weak" Kieran growls

Dominick cocks his eyebrow questioningly

"I'm pregnant not weak. I can fight if you'd let me" she grumbles

"Kieran we've been through this"

"I know I can't patrol while pregnant." She complains

"We'll be back in an hour." Dominick tells them

"Try to stay out of trouble" Chaos admonishes

"You too" Lise shoots back as they watch the guys leave the mansion.

"So Kieran what did you do this afternoon?" asks Jez with a smirk

"My bet is she did Dominick" Lise remarks

Kieran shrugs with a slight smile "Its been a while since we've had time to ourselves." she closes her eyes sighing

"Kieran, who is Sasha?" Lise questions

Kieran starts at the question. She looks at her hands before answering, "Dom met her when he was staying with a friend in Vegas"

"What happened?" Jez asks seeing the tears in her eyes

"He got drunk one night and had sex with her." she answers softly

"Oh Kieran I'm sorry" Jez hugs her lightly

"Its OK. We talked about it. It was an accident."

"I bet it was he'd never hurt you on purpose" Lise assures her

"I know"

"So this one night stand showed up here?" asks Jez

Kieran nods "She surprised us. Dom wasn't too happy to see her. I thought that Nick was about to appear he was so mad."

"What was she like?" inquires Jez

Kieran sighs, "Not fat that's for sure"

"Kieran you look good. Not many people can look good while pregnant." Lise tells her

"She was beautiful but in a cold way. There was something about her... something dark" she shudders "I dunno its hard to explain"

An hour later

There is a knock on the front door. Kieran groans, "Can one of you get that?" she requests looking at her enlarged belly with an amused scowl

Lise nods "Sure" she hops up going to the door she opens it to find an unfamiliar woman standing there "Can I help you?"

"Yes I'm looking for Dominick"

Hearing the familiar voice Kieran struggles to get off the couch. After a few seconds Kieran enters the hallway "Dom isn't here." She glares at the woman she nods for Lise to leave

"Oh too bad. I was wondering if he was in the mood for some fun." Sasha pouts

Kieran scowls "Lets get something straight" she moves closer "Dominick is my boyfriend. My best friend. My baby's father. And I tend to be a little overprotective when it comes to my family. When people mess with my family I tend to get angry. Now get the hell out of my town before you learn about my temper."

"I tend to get angry when people take what's mine... and he's mine" Sasha smirks

Kieran moves closer to the blond her voice barely above a whisper, "Leave MY husband alone." She finishes with a low growl her eyes flashing angrily. "Get out" she says her voice filled with anger and exhaustion.

"Just remember I get what I want" she looks Kieran over with disgust "and after seeing you I know he'll want me." She chuckles darkly "After all I heard about you I wonder if it really is his kid or someone elses."

"Enough Sasha" Dominick growls the front door slamming open.

Brent sees the barely restrained anger on Dominick's face and goes to Kieran's side putting his arm around her shoulders. "Kieran let Dominick deal with this vindictive bitch" he leads Kieran out of the hallway

Once Kieran exits the hallway Dominick turns to the blond. "I told you to leave Sasha" he reminds

The blond smiles moving closer touching his arm "Oh come on you know you want me." when Dominick doesn't answer she continues "I wonder after all the action she's seen I wonder if the kids really yours"

Hearing that Nick surfaces he glares at her his eyes cold and dark, "I don't want you. I never did." He looks her over "You aren't my type. You are a cold, heartless and as Brent said a vindictive bitch. And I know that the child she carries is mine."

"Oh come on she's the town slut" Sasha retorts

"I know the child she carries is mine." he replies "Leave my family alone. If I see you or hear that you have been anywhere near my wife and child I swear on my mother's grave and father's ashes that I will make your life a living hell. Now get out" he growls

Sasha looks at him "I'll be around" she blows him a kiss closing the door behind her

Dominick stares at the closed door running a hand through his hair

"Hey man, are you OK?" Brent asks concerned from the entryway

Dominick turns around "Where's Kieran?"

"She's upstairs. She wasn't looking well" he replies

Dominick nods heading towards the stairs he pauses "Brent can you stay with Kieran when I patrol?"

"Mind if I crash here then?"

"Its fine. I'll let you know when I leave" Dominick takes the stairs two at a time.

"We better head out then. We'll see you at school" Lise hugs Brent as they leave

Brent settles on the couch with the remote

Upstairs

"Kieran" Dominick says tentatively from the door of the darkened nursery as he sees her sitting in the rocking chair by the crib, "Baby?" he asks crouching in front of her

"Is she gone?" she asks softly

Dominick nods "Yeah baby she's gone"

Kieran hugs the stuffed animal tightly. "Is she coming back?"

"I don't know baby. I told her to leave but" he shrugs

Kieran looks at him her eyes sad "You don't believe her do you?"

"About what?"

Kieran blinks back her tears "What she said about the baby"

Dominick looks at her startled "Kieran why would you think that?"

Kieran shrugs "I know people wonder. I've heard them talk."

"Oh Kiera" he touches her cheek "I don't believe any of the rumors. I know that the baby is mine. I know I'm the only one you've been with. Even if I wasn't the only one you'd been with I'd still love you. Even if the baby wasn't mine I'd still love you and this baby. But I know the truth and I love you"

"Dom" she whimpers tearfully

"I love you Kieran."

Kieran clumsily launches herself into his arms causing him to fall off balance onto his back

Dominick sits up cradling Kieran close he kisses her temple

"Promise me you won't leave" Kieran sobs clinging to him

"Kieran I'm never going to leave you. You are my life. I love you" he rocks her, "I love you." He repeats. After awhile he realizes that Kieran is asleep in his arms kissing her head he stands cradling her close he carries her into their room. He lays her on the bed caressing her cheek as she sleeps "I will never leave you." he whispers resting his hand on her belly smiling as the child moves "Either of you. We will do what ever it takes to stay with you. I won't let anything or anyone come between us." he pulls the covers up to her chin he kisses her forehead "I love you" he stands heading to the bedroom door

"Dom" Kieran mumbles slightly panicked

Dominick goes back to the bed "I have to go patrol. Brent's downstairs if you need anything"

"Don't go." she whispers

"I have too Kiera. If you need me I'll come back as soon as I can." he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'll be back in a couple hours." He promises

" 'kay." Kieran yawns "Just be careful"

"I will" he chuckles kissing her gently "I'll wake you when I get back" he stands "Night"

"Night" she yawns

Dominick heads downstairs where he finds Brent in front of the T.V. "Hey I'm out of here"

"Sure" Brent nods

"I'll be back in a couple hours. Kieran's asleep. If Sasha calls or comes by call me right away and don't let her talk to Kieran."

"So I take it Kieran's still upset" Brent states

"She fell asleep crying" he answers "See you" he heads out the door

"Night" Brent calls

Next
