Asdfghjkl (Guest): I'm glad you like this story and can reread it without getting bored. I have more plans/ideas so it'll take a few more chapters for the baby to arrive.

Chapter Forty-one: Tricked
Chase's P.O.V.
I walk around, well more like waddle now six months along, the place looking for Adam as I hum Once Upon A Dream to the baby. I smile as its little palm presses against my stomach.
"Can't wait to meet you," I smile.
He or she gives a strong kick and I laugh. I shuffle into the kitchen abandoning my search for Adam momentarily.
"But if I know you I know what you'll do, you'll love me at once the way you did once upon a dream," I sing softly while making a snack.
"Haven't heard you sing in such a long time," Eddy says.
"Eddy!" I scream surprised.
"How do I look?" He asks fluttering his pixel eyes.
I roll my eyes and smile, "could be better."
"Look who's taking," he scoffs.
"Fuck off I'm carrying a life inside me," I object.
"Whatever makes you feel better," he laughs.
"Still horrible as always I see," I sigh.
"Of course!"
I try to ignore him and concentrate on the food.
"Hey have you seen Adam?" I finally ask.
"Yeah," he answers.
"Where is he?" I turn to face him with my sandwich in one hand.
"Oh with Douggy you know your uncle/dad or whatever," he smiles.
"What?" I storm off toward the lab food forgotten.
"Remember you didn't hear it from me!" He calls after me.
The elevator doors open and I step in seeing Leo sitting in his mission specialist desk. He stands up abruptly and blocks my way.
"Hey Leo-"
"You can't be here," he says sternly.
"I'm just looking for Adam have you seen him?" I ask calmly.
"You can't be here." He repeats.
"I just want to see Adam-"
"He's not here," he cuts me off quickly.
"What are you hiding?" I demand trying to sidestep him.
"Nothing!"
I walk around him and my eyes land on the screen. Evil Davenport is fighting with Adam and Bree against Krane. My heart leaps as I watch Adam getting thrown to a pile of barrels. Mr. Davenport stands up and makes his way to me.
"What did you do?!" I scream.
"Chase calm dow-"
"Don't tell me to calm down!"
"Chase-"
"He could get killed!" I shout.
"He's strong and with Bree he'll be fine," he assures.
"He killed our brother!" I remind.
"I had no choice," he sighs.
"No choice?" I scoff.
"Douglas was trying to deactivate Krane's bionics but Krane has other plans...I had no choice, he's my brother," Mr. Davenport explains.
"Well he killed my brother! So he will kill Adam!" I cry.
"Chase he won't-"
Just then a shrill scream pierced through our argument. I turn to the screen again to see Adam about to be sliced through with a pole.
"No...no, no, no!" I sob.
"Leo!"
Leo leads me to a nearby chair.
"It's okay," he whispers.
I shake my head in denial.
"Big D!" He calls.
"I'm working on it!"
No not again.
'Should've killed the bastard when I had the chance,' Spike growls in my mind.
'He can't be dead,' I think
'He might be,' Spike says.
'Not helping.'
I close my eyes shut afraid to open them.
"Hey let's go," Leo suggests cutting through my thoughts and Spike's voice.
"No," I reply.
"Come on this isn't good for you."
He pulls me up and gets me to the other room where I usually have my check ups in.
"I promise I'll come and tell you what's going on," he swears.
"He can't be dead," I whisper.
"He's not," and he leaves.
I repeat that mantra in my head, he's not dead, he's not dead...
I don't know when I fell asleep but in moments I'm being woken up.
"Chase? Wake up Chase," Mr. Davenport calls shaking my shoulder lightly.
Whimpering pitifully I open my eyes to the bright lights. I sit up slowly.
"He's not...not d-dead r-right?" I ask taking in my surroundings.
"No it was just a graze nothing major," he smiles.
I sigh relieved.
"Where is he?"
"Right here," he waves.
I jump into his arms hugging him tight.
"You didn't tell me you were going...god I was so worried!" I mutter.
"I know sorry," he winces.
I pull back and see his chest wrapped up in bandages. Tears well up and they start to spill.
"I'm sorry I scared you...Bree knocked into Krane just in time," he says.
"I had a nightmare where you...d-didn't come b-back," I stammer.
"I'll always come back," he smiles.
"Don't ever do that."
"Promise. On the bright side evil uncle dad is on our side...but Krane escaped," he sighs disappointed.
"Is that why you went?" I ask.
"Need to protect you," he whispers.
I hug him again more lightly. Careful not to aggravate any wound. He wraps an arm around my waist and leads me back to our room. Mr. Davenport looks sorry at me but I ignore him. It might be childish but one thing is for sure, it's not only the stupid hormones.
"It's not fair I get to live," Adam says once the door shuts.
"Adam," I protest.
His eyes glow a weird green. His hand goes around my throat and tightens his hold pinning me to the wall. His Triton App has been reinstalled. Douglas tricked us.
"Adam don't do this," I choke.
He doesn't say anything. Instead tightens his hold around my neck.
Davenport's P.O.V.
"What the hell Bree!" Leo yells.
I turn to face my daughter and see her cornering Leo her eyes a green tint. Her Triton App was reinstalled. I turn to face a smiling Douglas.
"Can't believe I fell for your trap," I say gritting my teeth.
He laughs maniacally enjoying the show. It occurs to me that Chase is also in danger. Crap!
"Owen!" I yell in surprise as the young teenage boy enters the lab.
"Uh Tasha said you were here...Bree invited me over..." He looks around a bit confused, "Is everything okay?"
"Her Triton App was activated!" I explain.
"That's bad right?"
"Very! Deactivate it!" I order.
"How?!"
"Talk to her about the things you've been through...get her human side to overcome this," I say quickly already attacking Douglas.
"Bree! Um ok...hey remember that time we met? The time I asked you to Bree my Valentine?" He asks.
Bree let's go of Leo as she listens to Owen.
"Go help Chase!" I tell Leo.
He runs away to do what I've ordered.
"Remember the time you found out you were going to be an aunt?" The boy continues.
I turn my focus on Douglas whose hands tighten around my wrists.
"I thought you changed!" I spit.
"Gross..and as if. I'm taking what's mine!" He smiles.
"Even if it costs Chase's life and his baby's?" I ask.
"I wouldn't hurt them!"
"Krane would!"
His hold loosens.
"He's using you," I say softly.
He glocks me hard and I stumble back.
"Bree I love you," Owen confesses.
We both turn to watch as Bree blinks rapidly.
"Owen?" She asks.
"Looks like your plan is crumbling to the ground," I smirk.
"We still have Adam. Krane turn up the power," Douglas orders over his con set.
