The next few days was hectic time for Amber with trying to deal with the police, insurance company, Emmy and additional family members. They were long days and Amber felt drain until she long for a goodnight sleep. Gray talked to his alarm company and to his discouragement Nick wasn't the one that cause the fire. It was a random thief that came into her home, took what he wanted and enjoy lighting the place on fire. The police got a description of the the thief by the video surveillance of her house. They were now in search of the suspect and when he is caught, he will be sent jail.
She stretches out on her bed and turns to see the time on her cell. She almost jump right out bed when she realize how late it was. "Why didn't I wake up sooner then this. It's almost 10 am. I had set my alarm to go off at 7. Yet it did not go off?" She quickly grabs her new house coat and slippers and rushes out of her bedroom. Ur went out of her way to buy all of Amber's clothes. She wanted to make it up to her for baring in when she wasn't up to having anyone near her, when she lost her house and everything inside of it with in a day. Amber opens up Emmy's door and sees she is not her crib. "What did he do?" Amber runs down the stairs and starts looking searching every inch of the house trying to find her daughter and Gray. She starts calling out to him. "Gray!" She listens for a reply back, then moves to the end of the house. "Gray!" She then makes her way over to the front door and takes a look outside. It was lightly snowing, but it wasn't sticking to the ground. The November air smell like snow and soon winter would be upon them. "His car is gone and so is the car seat." They kept it by the door for when they were heading out with Emmy. "Great, now I have to phone him up and ream him out."
She pushes on the numbers on the phone in a angry way in which she hopes he feels pain. It goes strictly to voice message. "Really, you knew I would be calling huh." She waits for a beep and takes a depth breath in. When she hears it she goes right into a rant. "Gray Fullbuster where in the hell are you and what are you doing with my daughter. You better call me right back or I swear I'll give you pain." She slams the phone down back on the receiver. " Amber returns to her room to get dressed. There was no sounds coming from her cell or the house phone for the next hour. "What could he be doing with her. Not leaving a note or waking me up, nothing." She walks around the house peering into windows and looking at the clock every ten minutes. If anyone was in the house at that moment, they would probably see steam coming out of her ears. "That man is so going to get it. When I get my hands on him, I'll make sure he sees stars." When the next hours rolls around and still no word. She makes a other phone call to him and gets the voice mail again. "You know you are in the dog house and I might be even tempted to have you sleep in Rae's house if you don't call me." The phone gets put down again. "Whoa, what has gotten into you?" She turns her head and sees her ex brother in law coming in.
The next thing Lyon knew he was press up against the wall with Amber pointing her finger at his chest. "Where is he and Emmy?" "What?...I don't know. I came over here for coffee." "Pttttt" She storms away from him. "Does it matter where he is with her." "I woke up at 10 and they aren't here" "Ohhhh." "Don't oh me" He whispers underneath his breath. "It's someone's time of the month." She grabs the pillow and chunks it at him. "It's not for your information." "Hey, it fits with that attitude." "I can get worse." "I remember, can't forget about those mood swings." She rolls her eyes at him. "At lest I am not pregnant." "Not yet." "Excuse me?" He holds up his hands. "Talking to myself." Lyon has been witnessing the interaction between the two of them and he can tell they have gotten closer. To what extent, he did not know. He has seen the looks they have been giving each other and Gray will wrap his arms around her when he has been over. It was like, they were married again. "Have you tried phoning him." "I have twice and no answer back." "Then you have to wait for his return." "Not if you phone him. He has caller I.D of course he would be screening his calls. I want you to take out your cell and dial his number." "No...I ...I only came here for coffee. I am...not getting involved in this." She puts her hands on her hips and gives him glare. "Do I have to back kick you in the leg." Amber was never a match for him. "Try it sister." "Lyon, come on, do this for me." It was a blind bluff and she could never take him on. She puts her hands together and gives him the puppy eyes. "No!" He shakes his finger at her. "Pleaseeeee." He turns his head from looking at her. She goes and stands in front of him. "You are my favorite person." "Ha! That is a lie. We both know who that is." "Lyon, my darling ex brother in law." She was really laying this on thick. He sighs and looks at her. She gotten him where she wants him. The look of her eyes, the pout of her lips and the little tear rolls down her cheek. "Does anyone say no to you?" She smiles at him. "One person has and right now he is not here."
The call was going through and Lyon waits for him to pick up. "Amber, you do know you are impossible right." "But you love meeee." "I have to rethink that." He walks around the sofa and Amber stands and shuffles her feet. "Hello Brother." "Gray, you are not at home?" The cell gets taken from him and Amber gets on the line. Lyon tries to take it back but she runs into bathroom and locks the door. "You better have a good reason as to why she is not here." "You know using my brother to get hold of me is cheating." "Taking my daughter with out telling me is worse. Bring her home now!" "Amber, she is fine. We are bonding and hanging out will be home soon." "Bonding? Gray I told you not to get attach to her." "I have said to late on that. Plus I have known her for this long. I want her to know me more." "To know you more? Why?" "I'll talk to you about it later." He hangs up. "Gray...Gray...He hang up on me." Lyon was knocking on the door. "Time to come out." She shoves the phone into his chest when she exits out of the bathroom. "Is he coming home?" "Soon, he is bonding with Emmy. There is no need for him to do that, he isn't suppose to get attach to her." "Are you that obtuse?" "To what?" Lyon takes her by the hand and leads her over to the couch and makes her sit down. "You may not see it, but I do. My brother, your ex has fallen in love with that little girl. I have seen other things as well." "Like?" "The two of you getting closer. I have seen the share looks. You let him hold you, hold hands, peeks on the cheek." "We have but that doesn't mean squat." He waves his hand across her face. "Are you blind." "I can see very well." He frowns at her. "Still holding back are ya?" "It's not that simple." "Explain it to me. What you say to me you will have to tell him later at some point."
The older brother sits down on the couch and wraps his arm around her. "Talk to me." "Maybe it will be easier to say this to you instead of him." "I am all ears." "He has said that I am scared. I allow him to kiss me, hold me and I put him at arms reach. I am afraid if we get together, that something bad will happen and he will leave again." "In what way?" "If I go down this path with him and say we had a other child. What if it repeats." "You can't think that way." "But I am. Lyon with Luke, I can't go through the pain, the hurt and watching him walk out that door." "You need to tell him this." "He knows he has hurt me and he has open up on Luke." She points to the pictures. "I know, I told him to do so. Those pictures aren't only of Luke. That one there is with all three of you. See that one on the fire place mantle. He has put up a picture of Emmy." "Didn't even notice." "You can't be stuck in the past. It's time to move forward." She puts her head on his shoulder. "I thought I was moving ahead." "Not if you where keeping your rings on a necklace and wearing his t-shirts in bed." "He told you?" "Just like sisters, we brothers do talk about stuff." "I feel deflated." He shakes her shoulder. "Hey it will be ok. When he gets home, have a talk. I can take Emmy for the night." He winks at her. "Lyon!" She hits his leg. "We will not come together that fast." He raise a brow at her. "Really, I remember differently when you two first met." "Enough, it wasn't like that. Go and get your coffee." "Pour me a cup."
He was still there when Gray finally came home. Amber was still steaming mad when he walks inside of the house. She goes right over to him and takes Emmy out of his arms. She points her finger right into his face, was about to say something but walked away to put Emmy down for a nap. "Nice one brother." "There is a reason behind all of this." "I bet there is. You will be telling her and not me. I have to go back home for a bit, then come back to pick up the little one." "Why are you taking her?" "Offered to take her for the night." He puts a hand on his brother's back. "You two need to have a chat. See where it leads you after tonight." He gives him a wink. "Brother you have no idea how much I have been holding back." "Chat and strike. It could help with sexual frustrated both of you have been having." "Lyon! Keep your voice down." "She already knows, we talked." He starts going for the door. "Wait you can't leave like that with out saying more." "I can and I will. Later"
Gray was getting the cold shoulder from her even after Emmy went to Lyon's for the night. She was on the love seat eating some chips and watching a movie and he was looking at her, trying to get a reaction or responds. "Are we not going to talk to each other." She puts a other chip into her mouth. "You are being ridiculous." She turns her head and gives him a glare. "Yes you are acting like a child." She puts the bowl on the table and gets up from the couch and heads into the kitchen to get a drink. He follows after her. She goes to open up the fridge and he puts a hand on it. "Say something, do something, anything. I can't take the silence." She whips right around and raise her hand to slap him in the face. He catches her hand before it connects and wraps a arm around her and pulls her close and kisses her. He pins her up against the fridge and continues. Then he breaks away and looks at her. A hand goes on each side of her. "I wanted you to sleep in and I turn off your alarm. The last few days have been hard. With the house, having Emmy adjusting to here and family. I should have wrote a note telling you that I took her out, but I wanted her to get to know me more." "Why?" "We are getting closer Amber. She is in your life and you are in my life. And I want that sweet girl to be apart of my life too." She pushes on his chest to walk away from him. Lyon told her to talk about her fears to him. Right now she wanted to run. "Amber stop." "Gray no." He reaches for her arm. "Talk to me and not push me away." She wipes a tear from her eyes. Gray waited for her to speak. She gave him time being in Luke's room now it was her turn. "I am scared." "I know that tell me why?" "If we...if..." It was going to be so hard to tell him. "Settle down or you are going to have a panic attack or start chewing your nails." His hand travels down to her hand and he intertwines his fingers with hers. "Take a moment to breath."
The clock was ticking on the wall as he waits for her. He would wait until the end of time for her to speak. "This is hard Gray." "I can't be, it's me." She blows air out of her mouth and lowers her shoulders. "If we came back together and ..." "And?" "Had a other child, I am scared that you will walk." "I wouldn't do that a second time. I have learn from my mistake." "When you walk out on me, a part of me went with you. I was so lost and there was a long time of crying, anger and hating you." "You hate me?" "I wasn't all that thrilled too see you in the hospital. Gray we were married, in love. Then one day all that disappeared." "What about now?" She shakes her head. "No, not anymore. There was much resentment I had towards you. That instead of being together going through the most troubling time in our lives, you were not there." "Amber, I have said sorry, and I will say it again and again." He pulls her over to the couch and puts her on his lap. "I am sorry for not holding onto you when we needed each other most. I swear to you, that I will never walk away from you." She looks down at him. "Gray, you can't promise me that." "It's my commitment to you and a promise. I cross my heart, that I stay and not turn back on us." "I don't want to be disappointed." "Amber, I want to be with you. I want to be at the place where we were before. I want us to fall in love and be together forever." "Sounds more like a proposal." "In a way it is. I have something for you. Emmy help me pick it out today, can you wait for a moment and I'll get it." "Alright." She gets off his lap and he heads upstairs and wonders what he has gotten her. "What are you up too Raven."
Her eyes where following all three dogs outside playing out in the filed. Rae had no problems getting along with the older dogs. "Good puppy. You have made friends." She didn't hear him come back down and was standing behind her. "Turn around." She gives a little jump. "I wanted to do this on a special evening I was planing this coming month. I can't wait for that day, not when this is so important to me now." He holds out a little box for her. "Gray?" "Open it." She takes it from his hands and opens the top. Inside was a sapphire ring for her and a sliver band for him. "Gray..." "These are promise rings." "A what?" "You don't know what they are." "I do, this is taken me back." "My proposal is to put a engagement ring on your finger and a wedding ring. When I say I want to be where we were before. I want a marriage. So, Amber Fullbuster, who has yet to change your name back. Will you agree to go down on this road with me." She stares at the ring and at him. I thought of starting off with a date would kick things off first. The look he was giving her was one of determination and honesty. "I..." "I know I am shoving this in your face, but I am serious." "I can tell." "What do you say?" "Oi this is heavy.." "Feeling pressure." "Sense that can ya." She takes the sliver band out of the box and looks at it. "That is mine." "Shhhh." The moment was slowing down for Gray in wanting to know the answer. Then she takes his left hand and slips on the ring. "I say, yes." She picks up the box and takes out her ring to put it on her finger. Gray takes it from her and puts it on. "You have made me happy snowflake." She kisses his lips and rubs her thumb across his lips and smiles at him. "A start over Raven." "I big start over."
They stare at each other eyes and the pull to be together is strong. He lifts her up in his arms and carries her bridle style up the stairs to his room. He shuts the door with his foot and brings her over to the bed and lays her down. "I want you in this room now." He starts kissing her with out hearing if she agrees. The kiss ends and they look at each other again. With out any words and what was the about to happen. Gray lifts up her shirt and puts a hand underneath and lays it on her stomach. "Amber..." She reaches up to him and kisses him. The hand moves up underneath her bra and touches her breast and plays with a nipple. He sends kisses down to her neck and he moves his position. When he stops with the kisses he returns to look at her. To make sure this is what she wants. "Amber...are you...sure?" "You want to stop?" "No way I am at my limit." "Then have me." He takes the shirt off her. He rubs and touches all over her upper body and he starts kissing all over. He undoes her bra and she takes it off, flings it on to the floor. She lays back down and her breasts and nipples gets sucked on and played with for as long as he wants. "Amber, your body is great." She touches his chest. "So is yours." Her hands start to remove his shirt by undoing the buttons. His eyes are on hers while she takes it off and it gets thrown onto the floor too. She looks back into his eyes and her hands move to the button of his jeans. The snap is done and zipper comes down. She can tell he was already hard from the release of his jeans. Gray gets off the bed and takes off rest of his clothes. Amber glazes over his body and reaches out to him. He gets pulled by her hand to come back and she moves on the bed and he lays down. Amber kisses his lips and rubs her hands all over him. With her body laying on top of his.
Gray reaches down to take off her underwear. "Take them off." "Why don't you do it." He rolls her over onto her back and slowly takes them off. They go onto the floor right beside his clothes, he then hovers above her. "Do I need to make you wet." "I think you need to check." A hand very gently rubs up her thigh and she opens up her legs a little. He smiles down at her and he watches her face as his finger touches her opening. He can hear her suck in her breath and moan his name. "Yes you are wet, but I am going to get you to leaking out." "Gray...no teasing." "That is so much fun." He leans his head to her clit and gives it a lick. "Ahhhh Gray...don't." He smirks. "Going to do it again." He licks her clit again and he moves his body in between her legs. She looks down and can only see his hair and his tongue is doing things she hasn't felt in years. "Ooohhh god Gray...no. Going to cum to soon." "Then I'll make you cum again if you do." She feels his fingers go into her and she arches up." She licks her lips. "Gray can't you put it in and not do this." "You can't handle it?" She growls at him. "I take that as a yes." He continues to lick her clit and suck it into his mouth as he fingers her. "Amber you are getting wetter for me to go in you." "Then go in." "No, cum first." His tongue licks around her other set of lips. He can taste her and it was turning him on even more. If doesn't go into her soon he would cum just as he is. His fingers rub her clit and he keeps licking her and putting his tongue into her and making circles inside. Amber could feel her climax building. "Gray go in me now." "Not yet." She holds onto the bed sheets as he stays down there. "Gray...I am feeling it...ahhh." He looks up at her and sees she is almost there. With his fingers inside her, he uses his thumb to rub circles on her bud. His eyes are fixed on hers. "Gray...please." "I am going to watch you cum." He keeps pumping his fingers and rubbing her clit. Then she climaxes, while saying his name. "Gray!" He feels her tighten around his fingers and he knows the same thing will happen when he is inside of her next. Wave and after wave came over her. It was has been so long and it felt so good.
Gray moves up and kisses her deeply. "Now it's my turn to cum with you." She rubs her hand on his cheek. "Gray.. "Yes?" He rubs his nose with hers and kisses her lips. "What is it that you want to say." She was thinking about what Jason said about a baby in his dream. Then she was going to tell Gray about wearing protection. She takes in a deep breath hoping he will do it. "Umm do you have a condom to wear." He shakes his head. I do have some, but I am not going to put it on. "Gray..." He puts his hand on her stomach and moves his hand to her waist and pulls her closer to him. "It will be fine. Do not worry." He gets above her and kisses her some more. He enters inside her and starts to move. "Gray.." She puts her arms around him and moves him with. She kisses his shoulder and rubs her hands on his back. "Amber...can you feel me in you." "I can." She pushes on him to get him to roll onto his back and she gets on top. "Amber?.." "You made me cum. Now my turn." She starts to move up and down on his shaft with her hands on his chest. "Really?" "Uh huh." "We will see about that." He touches her clit as she moves and she looks at him and sees his smile. "Gray.." "You like it?" She stops his hand from doing more. "No, stop." "Liar." He puts his hands on her hips to help her to move. "Amber...you are wonderful, feel great." "You do too." "But I am going to be mean and take back control." He flips her back onto the bed. He starts to move faster. "Gray...I wanted." "Next time you will." He captures her lips again in a kiss and keeps moving in her. She feels him hitting the right spot in her. "Gray..I am.." "I am almost there too." She wraps her legs around his waist and he lifts more off the bed. "Amber I have miss this, I have miss you." She kisses him and he kisses back. He continues to move and they both feel the ending coming. "Oh Gray...ahhhh." "Amber..I going to cum in a second." With a few more thrusts inside her, together they cum. He lays down on her and she holds onto him tightly. "Snowflake this is our new beginning."
He pulls out of her and lays beside her. "Did you enjoy it, Amber." "With me cumming twice I have no complaints. She lays on her side and looks at him. He pulls the blanket over top of them both and holds her close. "Glad to know I still have it in me to make you cum that many times. Go for a third?" She puts her head on his chest and hears the beating of his heart. "I am good for now." "I can always change your mind." "It was lovely Gray." He kisses the top of her head. They lay together for awhile and after a short time he could hear her sleeping. "Amber, my snowflake, I love you." He puts his hand on her stomach. "I didn't want to use condom because I want this. Our family back, a child. If there is one, great. If not, I want one. I want Emmy to be mine. I have fallen in love with that small fries. I want what I dream about." He lays there awake, holding her close and hoping for good things. The future that he wants and looking forward to, is left up in their hands. He was going to make dam sure, that nothing will stand in his way of it.
The month of November went by so fast and before they knew it was December. Emmy was now crawling all over the place and Gray had put up baby gates and gadgets in the house. "Gray I think you are going a tad over board with all these things." "She can get into anything, everything." "We are still watching her closely. What are you going to do, when the tree goes up." "A fence or something to contain her out." "I can understand keeping Rae away from the tree, but Emmy. You aren't going to do it." "Amber, her little hands can grab the ornaments and the lights." "We will not do it. Plus we don't have to have lights and the decorations down at the bottom. It's will be the same way like we did for Luke. Ok?" "Yeah, we can do that." "Good." She kisses his cheek. "Are you ready to go?" "Let me get my wallet." "Emmy and I will be waiting outside. Juiva text saying they are coming now." "See you in the car."
The two couples and baby were on their way to go for lunch and Christmas shopping. Gray was driving the car with Lyon in the front and the women in the back with Emmy. "Juiva likes Emmy's dress." "Isn't she cute, Gray picked it out. He did the same thing again getting her new clothes. Now this is her first Christmas, I am looking for a Christmas day outfit." "Juiva can help look and pick one out." "That will be awesome. The guys will do there own thing and we three can do ours." Lyon turns in his seat. "Where are you two going to be?" "Juiva will not speak of the places we are going." Amber smiles at her. "What we are doing might be a secret for you and Gray, Lyon." "What no hint my dear wife?" Juiva makes the motion of zipping her lips and throwing away the key. Gray looks back at Amber and gives her a wink. Their new begging was going great. Amber told her brothers of the news of hooking back up with him. At first they were not to excited of her reuniting with him, but they could tell how happier she was and they wanted to see her with a smile on her face. Gray's parents were over the moon of hearing them together. Ur thought her ring was engagement ring but they explain to them what it truly was.
The snow was falling down as they were eating in the food court. When they were done, they had plain to split up and meet later. "What time should we met?" Lyon was putting his tray on top of the trash can. Gray looks at his watch. "Knowing the both of you, you would shop until the cows came home. I say two hours max and we come back here and go from there." "I guess me and Juiva should be happy with that, Right?" "Juiva is ready to go." "Same here." Amber starts pushing the stroller and Juiva walks beside her. The men look at their girls walking away. "Brother, did we just get ignore and with no kiss or a goodbye." "Lyon, we can fix that." Gray runs up to Amber and makes her stop. He plants a kiss on her lips and whispers into her ear. "Do not buy out the whole store." "That would be you doing that, not me. I am more practical." She carries on with Juiva after Lyon kisses his wife. "Come on little brother lets get going." They head in the other direction away from the girls. Gray and Lyon were set in getting some lights and outdoor decor. They wanted to make Emmy's first Christmas special. "So Gray how is your love life going." "Wonderful, it's going great." "She isn't freaking out anymore?" "I don't think so, we have talk a lot after that night and we are going to give it a go. I got those promise rings to prove it and we are sharing our lives with each other." "What about the next step?" "Marriage is to soon, do not want to rush." "That's understandable and I happy for ya. I can see how your world has change in the last month." "That is all because of her and Emmy being in my life." "Lets make sure to give them both a Christmas to remember."
"Juiva what about this outfit for her?" "That is a cute one, Juiva likes it. I have one pick out too." It had rain deers and Santa Clause all over the onise that said my first Christmas. "Awwe that is adorable. How are we going to pick the right one for her." They have been shopping for Emmy for the last 45 minutes and only saw a handful of outfits they really liked. "Juiva says for Emmy to wear one on Chirstmas Eve and the next day." "That is good idea. Ok we can take both of them. They put them into the cart that Juiva was pushing. "Lets buy what we have now and go onto the next store." They head for the till to buy their items and they walk the mall to the next place. "This is fun." "Juiva agrees too." They talk about different things as they go to the places that are on there list. The women didn't notice that during their shopping excursion that they were also being follow. The person was going to make his appearance.
They were coming out of a other store not buying anything from the lack of interest that they have seen. "That place didn't pan out." "No, Juiva is not please." "What is next?" Juiva pulls out the paper and unfolds it in her hands. "Hmmm we need to go there for Juiva to get Lyon's gift." "Lets see what they have and then we should have a break." Amber was still pushing the stroller and Emmy was fast a sleep. She didn't hear music playing in the mall or other people as they walk by. That change fast enough with the person that stood in front of them. Juiva saw the look in Amber's eyes and saw her tighten her hands on the stroller. She was going ask if she was alright, until the man spoke. "Angel! I finally found you." "I am not Angel, Nick." "Come on it is you." He staggers towards them and Amber backs up with the stroller. "Juiva take the stroller for me please." Amber moves and stands in front of it and Juiva does as she says. "Should Juiva be worried." "Angel...I have been searching for you." "Nick sober up, I am not her. Angel is dead, you are talking to her twin." He takes a other swing of his drink and wipes his mouth. "No, you are Angel...you have to answer to me." With out any warning he grabs her arm. "You bitch, you are in trouble now." "Nick! Let go!"
She tries to shake his hand off her and but his grip is strong. She could smell the liquor on his breath and knows it might be hopeless to be free. "Angel we are going home now. You aren't leaving for a long while." The fear was creeping up in her and she thinks back to how Angel had to deal with him. Amber puts a hand on his arm to get her arm free from him. He didn't like that at all and starts dragging her. "Move trap." "Nick, snap out it." Amber had a flashback to the funeral. "This isn't good." Amber turns her head to Juiva. "Keep her safe Juiva, get Gray. I can't cause a scene here. I'll try and escape outside." The blue hair women stood there watching her ex sister in law being drag by horrible man. She was rooted in her spot until Emmy started crying. She gets her cell out of her purse and starts calling Lyon. Juiva looks into the stroller to help calm down the baby. "Shhh Juiva is here." The time was valuable and Juiva had to get the guys to come here quickly.
The phone was ringing in his pocket and pulls it out. "Juiva is calling? Could they be done." "Or they could be asking for more time." Lyon pushes the talk button and puts the phone to his ear. "Hello Love." Gray turns to his brother to see what his wife wants. His facial expression changes and the phone drops to his side. "We have to go and we have to go now." "What is it? What is wrong? Is it Emmy?" Lyon gives him a steady stare. "Nick is here." Gray drops what is in his hands and runs out of the store with his brother chasing him. "Where do we go?" Lyon gets back on the phone and asks. "They are going outside, she says that Amber didn't want to cause a ruckus in the mall." "Bloody hell she can't take him on her own." The urgency in his running wasn't getting him there fast enough. "Please be safe. If he lays a hand on you. I'll ring his neck." "Gray take it easy. We don't know what we will see until we get there." "Brother, phone the cops. He is invalidation of the order." "I am on it, keep on going."
Nick keeps dragging her along and Amber tries to get free. "Nick, you ass listen to me. For the million time, Angel is dead. You where there at her funeral, you saw her in the coffin." He was almost at his car, ready to throw her into the back seat. "You have the same face, I don't care." She looks up at him. "You do know who I am." "I may be a drunk, but you and her are different. She never put up a fight. Now come." The strength that she could muster up she pulls her arm free. "I rather die then go with you." "That can be arrange, now get in the car you slut." She doesn't see the hand coming and he backs slaps her across the face. The stinging and the pain made her lose her balance. "I can make this really hard for you or harder, you pick." She regains her senses and takes her leg and tries to swing it to the side of his head. He was able to block it and holds onto her leg. "Crap, just like before." "Trying the same moves on me." He takes her leg and with his elbow slams it into her knee. She feels the pop and pain immediately from his action. Her body hits the ground and she holds onto her leg, but he grabs her by the arm and yanks hard to dislocate her shoulder. Amber was going black out. "Harder it is." He punches her in the face and people that were near by could hear her cries. "Nick please stop." She holds on to her arm as it hangs and not able to move it. "I have heard that a thousand times from your sister, it sicken me. Get up." There was no way she could get up with her knee throbbing. With her other leg she tries to kick him in the back of his leg to take him down. But it didn't work, his leg was solid rock. "What power do you have in your kick? Nothing." He grabs her by the hair and lifts her up and tries to stand on one foot. "You want to feel how a hit can have strength behind it." He balls his fist and goes for her stomach. The punch was stop by both of her hands. She doesn't know how she could have done it, but was able too. That pissed him off more. He pushes her back down to the ground and takes a pocket knife out from his jacket. "I am going to make you bleed." Amber wasn't to sure she could hold out for any longer. With a weapon now being used, the odds are against her. He opens the pocket knife and shows her the blade. "Where should I cut you. The leg, the arm, chest or just stab you in the head." He lowers his head closer to hers. "The only thing your sister ever talk about was you. Amber this, Amber that. Oh how I love my sister. It was disgusting and made her pathetic." He aims the knife and brings it down. Nick gets pushed and out of her eye site. "You bastard, you will be dealing with me now.
The brothers had seen what Nick was attempted to do and Gray guns it for him. He has him on the ground and starts attacking him. Lyon goes running over to Amber. "Are you ok?" "Do I look ok." "Nope. I am going to call ambulance unless someone in the crowd has done so." He looks to the people that have surround them. No one spoke up but they still watches on. "Can you stand?" "Leg is busted and my shoulder." Lyon could tell it was dislocated. "Once my brother is done with him, I'll take a shot at him." With his help Amber could sit up with Lyon holding her weight against his chest. Gray was getting in punches and receiving them too. They were evenly match, but Gray had years of fighting experience and studying martial arts. "Lyon break it up, don't want him hurt." "Amber you know as well as me, that he can take him down." She wanted it to end quickly, so Gray doesn't end up injured too. Her Raven smashes his fits into Nicks jaw, you can see spit leave his mouth. Nick was wavering trying to stable his stance, but Gray keep on him. Going for blow for blow. "You will never hurt a women again." Sirens can be heard in the distance. "Ha, women like them are easy to control. Angel knew her place. I was going to do the same to her twin. Then there is my kid, I can brainwash her." Gray takes his foot and kicks him in the gut. He doubles over in pain. The final move had his foot hitting the back of his head and he went down. Gray rolls him and wraps his hands around his neck. "That baby will never get near you ever. She belongs to us, her real family. If by chance you are get free, which I doubt. I will end you." Gray slams his face into the concrete knocking him out and goes over to Amber and kneels at her level. He touches her cheek. "Do not worry about him again." Her hand moves over top of his. "Are you hurt." "Nah, he didn't land anything good at me."
Amber starts crying, and tears fall endless off her chin. "Amber no crying." "Angel, she had to suffer through that torment. All those years of being with that jack ass. All I have said to her to get out and it never happen. She was free when she died." Lyon was rubbing her good shoulder. "With her being free she is watching over you." "Lyon, she is missing out on Emmy." Gray takes over Lyons spot and holding her up. "Sweetie, Angel knew that the best person to raise her would be you. She is your daughter and you are her mom. Nothing could be more precious then that." "I miss her every day and to know she is no longer here, it kills me. We were so close, we didn't have to say anything to know what we were thinking about. To see her go that day and trying to keep her alive. Her loss was on the same level of losing Luke." Gray wanted to hold onto her as tightly as he can. "Angel will always be in your hear, and you will be able to tell Emmy stories of her when she is older. I can tell her stories of how I met her and how sometimes both of you play tricks on me." She laughs and holds onto her arm. "Ok no remembering or no laughing. I see the ambulance, you will be going to the hospital. Lyon help me get her up." "Gray, I have one good leg." He frowns and sees the awkward way her leg was laying. "What did that slime do to you?" "He injured my knee and I have a displace shoulder." She points to her face. "I should do more harm to him." "Gray don't." "There is not point to it now brother, police are here. and the paramedics are coming to us." "OK, lets you on that stretcher."
Nurses and doctors where waiting for the patient to come in. Not knowing who they would be working on. When the hospital doors finally open up revealing Amber on the stretcher. Sting and Natsu were shocked to see her. Sting reaches for her first and Natsu takes the other side of her. "Amber! Who did this to you." She looks up at her two friends. "Surprise." "Do not make a joke right now." "Sorry Sting. Take one guess who did this, it's the same one from the funeral." "Nick!?" She nods her head. "I'll kill him" "Gray gave him a beating already." They take over taking the stretcher and get her into a room. Sting starts calling out orders. "We need a operating room ready for her at once. We need x-rays on the her knee." Natsu was putting a needle into her hand. "You are doing that wrong Natsu, you didn't hit my vein." "Amber do not get on my case. I am trying here." "Do it again." "Slave driver." "Give it to me, I will put it in myself." "Not with the way you arm is hanging off you shoulder. Lay down and let me do my job." "I will remember this for the next performance review." "He jabs the needle into her." "Ouch." "Sorry." "You did that purposely" "You bet I did. You are hurt and trying to be yourself and taking this in all to lightly." She turns her head away. Sting comes back into the room. "The operating room is ready to go and your family is here waiting for you." With her good hand she touches his. "Sting?" She motions for him to lower his head and she whispers into his ear. His eyes goes wide to what she tells him and he stands up. "Are you sure?" "I don't know but need to find out." "No more chasing you then. I thought there would be a glimmer of hope for me." "Sting..." "Anyways, you need fixing up. Natsu are you done." "Yeah, I am."
The pacing in the room was driving Lyon up the wall. "Gray sit down." "I want word on how she is doing." "We will have it soon, stop wearing the floor down." He runs his fingers through his hair. "If we had gotten to her sooner, we wouldn't be in this room." "The possibilities of what if's can go indefinitely. She will probably have a cast on her leg, her arm in a sling and needs rest." "Still Lyon it could have been so much worse." "She did put up a fight." "Yet she is injured." "Gray she is fine." "I want her in my arms." "She will be." The door opens, Gray turns around excepting to see a doctor but it was her brothers. "How is she?" "Still no word Jellal." "I know you told me over the phone as to what took place, but I can't understand it. Why would she risk herself to get hurt by him." "She didn't want to make a disturbance in the mall and have him away from Emmy." Mystogan look at the room and notice someone missing. "Where is my niece?" "I had Lyon call our father to come down and take Juiva and the baby home." "Well I can take her too." "That's a kind offer Mystogan, I don't think Amber would want to be far from her." "With her being hurt she will need help." "I am there for her, you can put your mind at ease."
The door did open to reveal Sting bearing news . "The surgery is finished and she is being put into a room. Her knee is sent in a cast and her shoulder is pop into place. You will see her soon, but do not stay long." "Can I not be with her tonight." "Is best for her to rest. Her time here will be a few days. I am going to check on her one last time first then you all can go in." Sting left and everyone was relieved to hear that Amber will be fine. Gray was anxious to get by her side and wanting her home. Her eyes open to see Sting beside her. "Hey beautiful." "I feel like shit and look like crap." "That's the drugs making you feel miserable, but you are now going to be on the mend. I have some other news." "What could that be?" "Did you forget what you ask me to do?" "Mind is all boggled up." He leans down closer to her ear and tells her. She sat up so fast that the movement caused her terrible pain. "Take it easy." "Ugh...that was awful." She lay there trying not to move. "Your positive?" "Check it twice." "I thought maybe a no." "How come?" "Do not know if I am ready." "You have Emmy." "It's the thought of.." "Amber the chances of it happening a second time is slim." "Try telling my heart." "You need to tell the man out there waiting to see you." She shakes her head. "Why not?" "Scared too." Sting looks at her with concern. "Your not thinking of terminating the fetus." She doesn't say anything. "If I was Gray, I wouldn't want you to go through that. Why go through a other loss, right?" "The fact that its small and not in my arms are slightly different Sting." "I think not. Be more sensitive and sensible about your decision. I know it's your body and your right, but it takes two people to conceive." "I will let you know what I choose to do." Sting was going to do something that was against client's privacy, and that was going to tell Gray.
