Here is another chapter maybe three left…

Warren sits on the edge of BiBi's bed just watching as her eyes closed once and for all, I just held the book to him so he could put it up for the night. Bandit and Magenta stayed the night so they could take her home in the morning since I was heading to the courthouse, but BiBi shoved things in her bag and was muttering but we left her to it before starting our nightly reading.

His deep husky voice chimed in, "Let's go to bed, we are moving and I might go back to prison," he wasn't joking either he was pissed and only my desire to sleep had him staying here. If I had given him a chance, he be hunting Kai, but first, our justice system needed fixing. I just walked from her room with him behind me, he shuts her door but leaving it a crack open so we could check on her every so often.

I just had this feeling; it couldn't be placed.

I feel lost and confused, but happy and certain. I am like a ball of tangled yarn. The parts that are untangled are available, useable; the rest is a mess, useless until it is untied. That mess feels endless and at most times unyielding. I feel stupid, my daughter was trying to tell me how to fix it, telling me I would still have her and Warren, but what she was trying to tell me was not making sense. Nothing was making sense and here I was getting old reliable from the freezer a pint of Birthday Cake Serendipity ice cream, it never washed away my troubles before but might work this time as Magenta just flops on my bed with her pint in hand.

When I looked at her, I see her but also Jackie so much has happened, and we lost much. She just ate with me her voice was softer now, "I don't like what your little demon was insinuating but it is the only solution. Kai, has fractured the timeline and it needs to be fixed or the consequences are dire. We can still have this life but,"

I cut her off, "I don't even know what hummingbird was going on about," she shook her head at shoveled another scoop into her mouth when the two boys walked in just gazing at the perfection that is us in bed pigging out on ice cream one knocked up.

"What a vision," Warren quipped.

Bandit was so levelheaded a direct counterpart to Warren who was rash, they brought such balance to the other. "Vic just left to take Bella to her house, said court in the morning," I just shake my head letting them know I agreed and heard.

"Great, come on Magenta lets crash," and yes we did like a head-on collision, in my bed but when I woke to pee and check on my hummingbird she was gone and Warren wasn't in bed either, he snatched Mage and left her on the sofa since Vic was in his room. I did my thing and was checking on BiBi, she was sound asleep with her backpack in her arms protecting it, she was mine and explained why she was so odd, I guess.

I could hear Bandit and Warren, whispering to each other but could see Magenta passed out on the sofa. Warren was emotional right now it was lingering, hopeless… "If BiBi is right, I am going to lose her," Warren said in such pain and anguish.

Bandit interjected, "Unless she does what needs to be done, and Bex will she loves you much more than even she lets on," he wasn't lying, it was sad, but he wasn't lying. Everyone seemed to know the answer, everyone but me that was my brain was foggy.

I called out, "Warren?" like I had just woken and came looking for him the hard scraping of his chair on the tile was all I heard until he poked his head around the corner, a look of concern on his face. "You okay, its only two?"

I offered as an explanation, "Had to pee, after checked on BiBi. Are you okay, I didn't find you in bed?" He was blissfully ignorant that I heard him which was great for me. "I'm sorry, come on love lets go to bed," his warm arm wrapped around me leading me to my room, he was feeling loved that I even wanted him in my bed. I just turned my eyes locking with his best friend, he knew I heard with a simple head nod. In his arms sleep was coming, warm and safe is what his body offered, I mean it offered so much more but for now, this was all I was taking.

8:00 am

Edith just looked at me and Vic, we bounced while Warren was showering racing from the house, so we at least stood a chance of not being escorted from the courthouse. "Girl, Adams is a snake and related to Kai. I will be taking this paperwork to Judge Holderman if any stand a chance of getting this shit fixed it be him," she had us waiting after she left to personally take the filed paperwork to the Judge, not like we see much today but this was the first step.

Wait. Wait. Sounds easy, right? Full bladder. Thirsty. Hungry. Cold. Aching muscles. Bored. I'm supposed to wait here until Edith comes and I'm already so wound up I'll probably just punch him when he gets here. Vic had to leave, work and all that shit, he was waiting for Warren to show and both were surprised when he didn't but I was sure BiBi was behind it.

By eleven a court date was set, she was very happy with the outcome, I had to have some faith that whatever she and the judge talked over was in my favor. "See you then," but something felt wrong, yeah I was going to win but the timeline was so fractured. I drive off my mind was racing in multiple directions but for now, I was being held accountable to talk to Kai in a public location for two hours, so Dutch Bros it was.

He listens as if my words are golden, perhaps some elixir he's been waiting all his days to hear. From what he says next I can tell he is thinking so deeply, already with a strategy that's several moves ahead of what I am capable of. And in his words are a kindness, a concern that is so quick that, for him, it is natural. But due to it being him, it was natural because it was me, Lucie and Nikki are watching with Layla and Magenta a table from them. Next, his words are frustrated, "Odd they have not vanished, but girls are girls and travel in packs it seems," his dark cold eyes looking over his shoulder at the two groups.

I shrugged, "In the files, it only listed William, Vic, Peace, and a few other male friends nothing about them. Not like they're making problems, they are just here if one accurse,"

He just grabs my hand holding it with force, "It is going to be us in the end, and anyone who stands in my way will be removed. I love you Bexley babe, I have since we were younger even while I dated that cunt. I was the one who," he stopped he was about to spill something and automatically shut up. There isn't a person in a hundred that could tell of my apprehension. I take all that is calm about me and make it my aura, tucking away that which would surrender my insecurities to the world and leave me so naked.

I just looked into his eyes seeing love, but then everything was gone, it was like I was an outsider looking into a movie. Kai was standing while I was in the middle of he and Warren who was being restrained. I understood at this time that I was in the future, they dissolved my marriage somehow, I felt the hot tears but when I went to wipe them it felt like I was slammed back. Kai was watching me with wide eyes his hands braced on my shoulders, the panic was clear.

"Are you okay?" were his words. "Yes," but the words are forced and felt like my life was over, I lost him. I lost Warren, it was supposed to be us, the timeline…

I just glanced at Magenta and she understood and gave me a nod, "You saw something, something you didn't like," but it was his smile that floored me, he figured out he wins but I don't know how he could unless the baby was his. How was our system so flawed a guy who drugged a girl can end up bonded to her against her will.

I had to do something, but what?

"Guess that is my son you're having," boasting at this.

I am thinking and say nothing to give any information away when the emotions of Warren come and my attention turns to him as he was walking to us. "Your time is up bitch, now back off my wife," his arms came around me feeling my body trembling.

"I will have her and our son to myself very soon,"

Warren his body went rigid, 'I will have to die first before I allow you to have her and our son," he knew it wasn't his it was just an emotional layer, but he wanted the baby it was still his blood and he knew this much.

It slammed into me right then, I pulled out my cell as everyone watched. A simple text, "I love you Hummingbird. I always will, I understand now," I gave her a few minutes, to get the text and it hit me again she took pictures and a written letter from Warren to myself. I never even read the letter, he had just given it to me.

I glanced at Warren placing my hand on his face, "Guess I will see you," not understanding how his dumbass knew how to solve this before my intelligent self, but he just smiled down at me. "You and me, remember I already cared for you then,"

Kai tried to grab me knowing my plan, but I moved, and Warren sent him flying back and into the coffee stand. I just looked back at the scene behind me before the old man's power raced over my skin and the green vortex opened allowing only me passageway through the fractured timeline.

I didn't know when I would show up, it was like my power was wired to what needed to be done.

What needed to be fixed...
