Love Struck
Chapter 44 - A Baby
Dark's POV
"AGHHHHHHH!"
I awakened on the cold wood floor screaming as I saw the knife stuck in my chest.
"Echo 1 come in!" I heard HQ shout from Keller's eyepiece.
I was a good ten feet from Keller's body.
If I don't get that earpiece I will be left for dead.
I slowly used my right hand to push myself carefully towards Keller.
"AGHHHHHH!" I screamed again because the blade was pushing.
I gave my hand one hard push and I was sent next to the body.
I slowly rested my head on Keller's chest as I heard HQ yell.
"Echo 1 come in!"
I slowly got on my knees with the knife sticking downwards and I carefully raised my hand at Keller's head.
His neck was snapped.
I slowly got my hand closer towards him.
My fingers touched his ear and he didn't move. I quickly took the earpiece off him and put it on mine.
When it was done I fell back on my side and slowly rolled till I was on my back.
"Echo 1!" Shouted HQ.
I slowly activated the earpiece.
"HQ this is…aghhhh! Echo 1...come in." I said barley.
"Thank god! Echo 1 what's your status?" Asked HQ.
"Keller and Walker are KIA. I'm not able to…AGHHHH!" I screamed as the blade pushed again.
"Echo we need you to stay where you are we will…!" He was cut off.
"Kevin!" Shouted the commander.
I coughed up blood getting more on my glass and I replied.
"Yes sir?"
"What the fuck happened!? Where are my men?!" Asked the commander in rage.
"…dead sir." I replied.
The commander went silent.
"They got the jump on us sir. We couldn't react fast enough." I stated.
He remained silent as more blood came up from my mouth.
"Sir?" I said barley as I felt myself falling.
"Where are you?" He asked.
"About…five miles outside the city. In an old house." I replied.
The commander went silent again.
"I'm not going to…be able to…ahhh." I wasn't able to finish my sentence. I was running out of energy.
"Stay where you are Kevin. My extraction force is coming to get the three of you out of there." Stated the commander.
I didn't respond.
"Kevin?" He said as I shut my eyes.
"Kevin!?" He shouted.
Ghost's POV
"What?" I asked her in shock.
"I'm pregnant." She stated.
I slowly looked at Shadow and he was as shocked as I was. Then I slowly looked at the doctor.
He looked at both of us and suddenly he said.
"How about we make sure?"
Dove looked at me again and asked.
"Do you want to?"
I looked back into her purple eyes and replied.
"Of course."
Dove took my hand and slowly I guided her to the doctor.
"Follow me." He said as he went for the door.
We followed and Shadow came behind us.
As we walked through the hallway I was still in shock.
"Me a father?" I asked myself.
The doctor took us a few rooms down and opened a door.
We quickly entered with Shadow behind us. The doctor shut the door and looked at me.
"Set her down on the bed." He ordered.
I nodded and slowly took Dove to the bed on the other side of the room.
I carefully helped her up until she was comfortable. When she was laying down the doctor activated a machine next to us.
The doctor then came to her and took the machine in his hand slowly guiding it over Dove's belly.
As he did his job Dove went for my hand.
She took it gently and I tightened up the grip in happiness hoping for the answer.
The doctor did a few more sweeps then put the machine away.
Then he quickly made his way out of the room.
I held Dove's hand tightly as we waited for the results.
Shadow remained on the far end as I stared into my love's eyes.
He slowly got closer to the end of the bed and we both stared at him with smiles.
He smiled back and asked.
"When?"
Me and Dove chuckled and she replied.
"Last night after you left."
Shadow smiled and nodded his head.
"Are you ready to be a family?" He asked.
Dove gripped my hand tightly and I replied.
"As long as we have each other I'm willing to do whatever it takes to have a baby."
Dove chuckled.
"What?" I asked her as she laughed.
"You won't be the one getting it out." She replied.
I chuckled in response as the doctor came back in with the results.
He approached the bed as the three of us stared at him in anticipation.
He slowly smiled.
Dove and me gave him a small smile of happiness as he looked at the results.
"It looks like your going to have a baby." He stated.
Dove and me have never felt this happy in all our lives.
She quickly jumped up and hugged me as hard as she could. As Shadow smiled in joy. The doctor waited as we began to cry in happiness.
The only question that remains is if it is a boy or a girl.
Dove and me cried over each others bodies as the doctor waited.
I held her for so long. I was too happy. I never felt this good before in all my life.
After at least two more minutes of embracing each other we retracted and looked at the doctor.
"It will be about week before I can tell you what kind of child your going to have." He stated.
We couldn't talk we were too happy.
The doctor smiled and then looked at Shadow.
"I'm going to let this slip ok?" He said.
Shadow smiled and stuck out his hand.
The doctor shook his hand in agreement and then looked back at us.
"Congratulations." He said as he went for the door.
Before he could leave he looked back at us.
"You two should come find me later so I can help you prepare for the baby." He stated as he opened the door.
"Just find me in my office. My name is Miles." He said as he left shutting the door behind him.
Shadow looked at us and quickly ran for him.
He bashed through the door leaving us in happiness.
Shadow's POV
I caught the doctor by his shoulder and quickly walked with him.
"What happened to Archer and Jason?" I asked as we walked.
"I managed to stabilize the two of them. Jason had the worst of it. He was shot a good six times and he broke a few bones. Archer on the other hand took around four rounds but most hit his back, they both lost a lot of blood in the surgery and they are going to need a lot of rest." He replied.
"Any permanent damage?" I asked.
"No. They will be fine. I don't recommend they go back to work but that is their decision to make." He replied.
"Can I see them?" I asked.
"Their in their quarters at the moment getting some recovery sleep. You may be able to see them but please let them rest for now." Stated the Doctor.
I nodded and let the doctor continue on with his day. I quickly made my way back to dove and Ghost. They were so happy and after all this I'm glad I can say the same.
I approached the pair and Dove smiled in joy.
"We should go tell Amy." She said.
I smiled back and agreed.
"She'll be ecstatic." I replied.
Dove smiled and took the lead with Ghost in her grip.
I went to his side and followed as we approached Amy's office.
We knocked and waited as she came to the door.
When she opened it to find the three of us together she was instantly over come by suspicion.
"What's going on?" She asked all of us.
Dove let go of Ghost and shouted.
"I'm having a baby!"
Amy's eyes widened in shock as Dove took her into a hug.
She was as shocked as I was in the beginning.
As Dove held her tightly she looked up at me and I knew she was upset.
