Labor Of Love - Chapter 13
Written by Sharon and Angels
"I'm sorry Bo but I won't let anyone else die because of me," she said, as she stepped in front of her husband. "Shoot me Colin. I will never feel one shred of what you want me to feel. If you have to hurt someone then hurt me. If you hurt my husband or my child then you will have to take the spare bullet and shoot me too. I can not make it without either of them."
"Red please...please don't do this," he begged her, as she held him back. "I have to," she stated. "Shoot me."
She kept repeating the words as Colin prepared to pull the trigger. He was looking her dead in the eyes as tears fell from her face. She cursed herself for that. She had promised she would never let another man see her cry. She wouldn't let him break her...she would find a way to come back swinging.
"Look at what you are making me do...If you had just given in...If you had just loved me...Scarlett, it wouldn't have to be like this...You wouldn't have to die."
"Just get it over with...put me out of my misery. If you love me at all, you'll make it quick."
"It wasn't supposed to be like this...we were supposed to be happy..."
He turned around for a split second in his ranting and Nora pounced on him. She grabbed the gun in a struggle as Bo ran up behind her and Colin and took baby Justice out of his hands. Nora screamed at him to run but he couldn't. He had to do something to save the woman he loved. He watched Nora flip Colin onto his back as she aimed the gun at him. "That's my girl," he was thinking.
"Nobody threatens my family and lives to tell the story. You're supposed to be dead Colin. I killed you once. If I shot you right here, nobody could touch me."
"You don't have the guts."
"You sure about that Colin...I get pretty pissed off when people threaten to shoot my family...Whose to say what I would or wouldn't do. Any famous last words?"
"Please...please don't do this."
He was begging like a sissy and She was fast losing her temper. "Can't you do better then that...can't you at least pretend that you value your life? Beg Colin. I want to hear you beg. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't make you as dead as you were before..."
He didn't have a chance to respond...the doors suddenly opened and Bo fell to the floor. She was screaming his name as she fought to remember if the gun had gone off in their struggle. Had she shot her own husband?

The gun went off and Bo fell to the floor. Blood was streaming from his wound. Nora ran to his side. "Ohhh God, I shot you. I SHOT YOU! I didn't mean to!" she cried out sadly.
"It's just a flesh wound, Red. I'll be alright," Bo assured her. "I have had worse."
"Is the baby alright?" Nora asked as she reached for her sweet little girl. Thankfully, baby Justice hadn't been harmed during the fall. She softly cooed as Nora cradled her in her arms.
Suddenly the baby screamed as sudden gunfire blasted.
"Drop the gun or I'll shoot!" Robert Scorpio ordered.
Colin was desperate and didn't want to be captured. He fired his gun, hitting Anna. She fell backwards as her blood soaked the floor. Robert fired his weapon as well. The bullet wounded Colin, but despite his best efforts, the madman got away. He escaped into the woods, carrying the loaded gun.
Colin ran for his life, stumbling out into the darkness...
