Chapter 55
Jamie was shaking as she sat on the hospital bed, with the cops sitting in the room with her, listening to the doctor talk about everything. She knew they were only sitting there waiting for Hunter to show up and be there for her, at least she really hoped it was Hunter who showed up and not Shane. She was hoping Shane hadn't found a way to bribe the local police, because if she did then Jamie was screwed, big time. She was nervously glancing towards the door and then back at the window, not wanting to be stuck somewhere, with anyone who might turn her back over to the man who was actually terrifying her.
Jamie closed her eyes and tried to calm herself when she heard hurrying footsteps coming into the room, she felt panic overwhelming her and when she felt someone sitting on the bed, grabbing her joined hands.
"Baby…" A panicked voice spoke up.
Jamie knew that voice, her eyes flew open and she felt nothing but love and relief, it was Hunter. "Oh God, I thought I would never see you again. I thought he would find me first, or someone else would call him and before you got here he would get here."
"No way, as soon as the police called we ran out of the house and came straight here." Hunter said as he pulled her into his arms and held her close.
Jamie looked over and saw Tyler and Edge standing there, relief crossing over their faces at the sight of her alive and well. She was wondering what was going to happen next, whether she and the babies would ever be safe or if Shane would finally win out and he would be the one to find a way to keep her and she would be forever kept apart from her friends and family, she knew that there was a chance Shane would let her stay with Hunter long enough to give birth, and then he would try and take her again, and he wouldn't give her a chance at escaping, not again.
"What's the matter?" Tyler asked her friend, knowing her better than anyone else.
"I just keep wondering how long I will be able to stay with you all this time." Jamie admitted softly.
"Forever." Hunter said stubbornly, obviously not willing to take any chance at anyone getting close to her or getting any shot at taking her away from their family.
"He might let me stay long enough to have the twins, but after that, he might take me again. His plan was to get me divorced from Hunter and then find a doctor to deliver the twins and get them handed back to Hunter, so that I wouldn't have to see them or him again." Jamie said as tears entered her eyes again.
"Listen to us Jamie, we aren't going to let that creep anywhere near you again, he will not be allowed to touch you, talk to you, call you, write to you, nothing!" Tyler said, knowing her best friend was freaking out at the thought of being torn from the man she loved and the two babies she was currently carrying in her belly.
"Jamie, there is no one in this world that could separate us again." Hunter said as he made her face him and he kissed her softly on the lips and used the pads of his thumbs to wipe the falling tears from her cheeks.
"I love you so much and I don't know what I would do if I was to be forever separated from you." Jamie said as she bit her bottom lip and looked at the people in the room but specifically her husband.
"It won't ever happen baby." Hunter said as he kissed her again.
Shane was angry as he looked around the interview room he was sitting in. He didn't like the fact that Jamie had run from him and she had made sure he was arrested and had said she was kidnapped and held against her will. Shane had been looking into divorce attorneys while he thought she was in the bathroom and when she had been in there way too long he had opened the door to see the window open and she was long gone. He had freaked, thinking she was out there in the freezing weather and had started to grab his coat and her coat when his door was kicked in and there was a SWAT team that ran inside and threw him onto the ground and cuffed him while others checked the place, finding the place where he had been holding Jamie before he had allowed her to start coming up the stairs.
He knew it looked bad and someone had started taking pictures and informed him he was being charged with kidnapping and some other charges, based on Jamie's statement and everything they could see in the room. Jamie was going to have to pay, if she didn't want to appreciate him and how nice he had been, even agreeing to give Hunter the twins so that he would get to raise those babies instead of him having them aborted, or killing them himself or just sending them into the adoption system so that neither one of them would ever see them again.
"You will pay Jamie, you will pay big time!" Shane said, not caring that he was being videotaped, he had snapped and he knew it, he knew that things were about to get so much worse for the woman he had seen himself spending the rest of his life with her, and having their own family. "I will have to kill that husband and those babies, there is nothing any of you can do to stop me from making Jamie pay and when I am through with that, I will make sure that all she wants is me to fix her life, because she will not have much of one and she will need me to be there for her!"
Jamie knew she had caused a big problem, the question was, how big of a problem had been caused and how much damage had been done? Would Shane finally get the message and leave her and her family alone? Or would she have to pay a huge price for escaping and for disobeying and fighting back? Jamie was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, and she knew that everyone was sure they would be able to keep her safe, keep the babies safe and find a way to get Shane to stay far away, forever. Jamie also knew there was nothing her friends could do, and she needed to find a way to fix this on her own, the problem was, the only thing she could think of was taking Shane out of the picture, permanently.
