Chapter Thirty-one: More Than You Know

Adam's P.O.V.

We follow Mr. Davenport to the lab Chase beside me. I hold his hand trying to reassure myself that he's alright. My other hand is pressed against my head with some cloth to stop the flow of blood. My head pounds like hell and the bright lights blind me. As we enter the lab the room is dark. Mr. D is talking to Leo about the creep, Krane and who he's working for.

They both suddenly stop and I was about to run into them. And then I see it. Another creep sitting in the chair I did my most sitting in. Just our luck. A low growl escapes from me and I'm ready to launch myself at them.

"Who are you?" Mr. D asks angrily.

"Donny," the figure smiles removing his hood.

It's evil uncle daddy. Douglas.

"B-but how?" Mr. D stutters.

Evil Davenport just shrugs with a scoff, "he thought he'd destroy you first," and presses a button from a control in his hand. All the screens turn black and then a count down begins. 3...2... "He was wrong."

"Run!"

We all run for the elevator. And then an explosion. Leo tries frantically to start the elevator but it won't budge. We all sit down as Mr. D starts...crying?

Chase rests his head on my shoulder tired.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly.

"'m tired...'nd sleepy," he mumbles.

"Here," I say.

He lays down and rests his head on my lap.

"How's he holding up?" Leo asks.

"He's exhausted," I reply.

"Of course he is he was beaten, used his bionics, and is pregnant," Mr. D says.

"We have to get out of here," Leo yells.

"The sprinklers will put out the fire," Mr. D hiccups before bawling again.

After Leo goes into the secret compartment the elevator starts working again. As we ascend we can hear Bree and Tasha screaming worriedly. Mr. D composes himself as the doors slide open. I pick up Chase and pass by everyone ignoring them. My priority is Chase and our baby.

I settle him on our bed and start taking off my bloodied shirt. Chase stirs in bed and sits up slowly.

"Hey," I smile.

"What happened?" He asks disoriented.

"...the lab..." I trailed off.

That was his favorite place and it was where we grew up.

"It's gone," he whispers.

I give a slight nod for confirmation.

"What now?" He questions.

"Now we take care of both you and the baby," I answer.

He nods, "how are you?"

I smile, "fine."

He stands and walks over to where I am. He starts tugging at my jeans. Smiling ever so I start to undress him. When we're both stark naked I grab his hand and lead him to the bathroom. He starts the water and steps in letting it cascade over his body. I walk in behind him and embrace him.

We watch as the clear water gets a tint of pinkish red.

"I was afraid that he'd kill you," he says quietly.

"I know," I reply.

"I had to..." he mutters.

"I know you did," I say understanding.

"'m sorry," he apologizes.

"For saving me from certain death?" I chuckle.

Wrong move.

He turns around in my arms tears slowly sliding down his pale cheeks.

"It's not funny...I could've lost you," he replies.

"I know I didn't mean to laugh," I say apologetically.

"You idiot," he hisses.

Right about now I'm wondering if those tears are from anger or sadness.

"I know you had to put yourself in danger. I know you didn't want to for our baby...trust me when I say that I know," I whisper wiping away the fresh tears.

"Oh god Adam," he hugs me back.

"It's okay, today has been hard both emotional and physical," I sigh.

"Don't ever do that again...please," he begs.

"Anything for you," I nod.

I notice a bruise forming on his back and I swear to myself that I'll protect them with my life if I have to.

I turn off the shower and grab the towel. I start to pat him dry and place a chaste kiss to his soft lips. It then turns into a deep needy and desperate kiss. We part only when air is needed. We walk into the room and start to dress when we hear yelling downstairs. Chase and I hurry down.

"Big D's broke," Leo says gravely.

"Douglas stole all the money after escaping and destroyed Davenport Industry...he destroyed the lab too," Mr. D whispers.

I turn to Chase and notice that he's pale...really pale.

"Chase," I call.

"I...I need some time," he mumbles before running out the house.

"Chase!" We call out.

Chase's P.O.V.

I run out the house. If I thought my baby would be put up for adoption before then he certainly is now that we're broke. With no way to provide anything for him or her. My poor baby. Literally.

"Lamenting bringing your child to this world?" A deep voice asked.

Knowing who it is I turn around to the hooded figure who helped us over an hour ago standing behind me.

"What do you want?" I ask sharply.

"Douglas escaped the frozen ice cube you trapped him in. Then he falsified Mr. Davenport's signature and destroyed Davenport Industry. That creep that attacked you is Victor Krane and he's working with Douglas. He's as multi-billionaire and has implanted himself with new bionics and by the way they are only a few steps behind discovering your pregnancy," he informs.

"Can't Mr. Davenport get his money back after proving he didn't sign?"

"No, because Douglas withdrew all the money in cash...it's nearly impossible to get that amount of money back," he answers.

"Wait...how do you know about me? It's the second time you've mentioned my baby," I reply defensively.

"You're...glowing...radiant even," he responds.

"Why...why are you doing this?"

"I have my reasons," he shrugs.

I nod taking in all the information.

"Protect that little bundle of joy," he says before disappearing into the darkness.

A light shiver runs down my spine. I know who and what he is and was. Yet he is our biggest ally. If he's right it'll be impossible to beat Victor Krane. I make my way back to the house and start for my room. I walk in to find Adam reading...Wait reading?

"What are you doing?" I ask timidly. Afraid that he might be mad at me for running off.

"Reading," he replies without looking up.

"Are you mad?"

"Furious," he answers calmly.

"Y-you don't seem like it," I gulp.

He puts the book down and stares at me with a cold glare. With a sigh he walks over and hugs me.

"I know why you ran. This only makes things difficult. Don't run out like that and I promise you that our baby will have everything it needs. You don't need to worry anymore, I've got you, " he whispers. His hot breath on my ear sending a pleasurable sensation replacing the shiver from earlier.

"How can I know that? We're broke, last time I checked a baby costs more than five-thousand dollars a year," I reply quietly.

"I really didn't want to spoil the surprise," he sighs.

"What?"

"I got a job," he says nonchalantly.

"W-What? You did?" I stutter.

"Today actually...that's why I was gone for so long. I really didn't mean to but they accepted me and I had to start today," he smiles.

"But...why?" I question.

"Because I know your fears...I know you love this baby more than anything. I love the kid too," he grins.

"Th-thank you!" I call relieved throwing myself in to his awaiting arms.

"I don't have a right to separate the baby from you so neither should Davenport."

"I love you Adam! I do and I don't know how to make it up to you and I'm really touched," I mumble really emotionally.

"Love you too...much more than you know," he kisses me softly.
