Running In Fear: Coming Home Read Online Free PDF

cupping his cheek.
    “I love you guys so much. I feel I let you down, Remi. I should have been able to protect our child with my powers, but I failed.” Jaycee wiped her tears away looking at all the flowers that filled the room.
    “Baby, you didn't fail us, and there was no way for you to protect our child. It happened too fast. I'll find the person responsible for this. They'll pay for this.” Remi growled, kissing her stomach.
    “I want to go back to the cabin, Remi, I don't like it here. I want my own bed and my mates curled up next to me, holding me. I feel so empty,” Jaycee whispered, laying her head back against the pillows.
    Mark left the room. Then Jaycee's father and Kate, her stepmother, came in. He came to her side, and kissed her cheek.
    “You scared the shit out of us, young lady. Don't do that again,” he whispered. His hand shook as he traced her face.
    “Mark went to get your papers ready so they can take you home,” Kate said, pushing her father out of the way so she could kiss her stepdaughter.
    “Back to the cabin right?” She looked at Remi. He smiled and nodded, and she relaxed.
    “Yes, we made a promise, and we'll keep that promise,” Dane said, still holding her other hand. She squeezed it, and looked at his handsome face. Worry lines formed around his eyes.
    Jaycee pushed the covers back,. She hated hospital gowns. She closed her eyes and used her powers to clothe herself with a dress that wouldn't bother her stomach. She pulled the IVs out of her arm, and swung her legs over the side of the bed.
    “What do you think you're doing?” Remi asked, looking down at her as she tried to stand up. Her legs wobbled, but she grabbed onto Remi, who steadied her.
    “I want to go home, Remi. I need to. Please,” Jaycee whispered.
    He wrapped his arms around her, carefully picking her up. Remi didn't say a word. He just carried her out of the room and down the hallway. Dane followed close behind. Her father, Kate, Marsha, and Ben, Marsha's husband would gather her flowers and things as Mark talked to the doctor and filled out paperwork for her. She rested her head on Remi's chest, and pulled lightly on his t-shirt.
    Jaycee curled up on Remi as Dane drove towards the cabin. When she looked up they were already in front of the cabin. She could see the bulldozer pushing away the snow and dirt, making room for her addition. There had to be at least one hundred people there working. She watched them as Remi carried her into the cabin.
    Inside, Shelly, Belinda, and the other women were in the kitchen organizing the food. They all stopped when she entered the cabin as Remi carried her past them.
    “Should you be here?” Shelly asked, walking up to her and kissing her cheek. There was sadness in her sister's eyes.
    “I needed to come home. I want to thank all of you for the work that you've already done already outside. I'm sorry I won't be able to help today. I just want to rest in my own bed.” Jaycee laid her head back down on Remi's chest.
    He strolled by the women and took the steps upstairs two at a time. He placed her in the middle of the big bed. She said a few words and her nightgown appeared on her. Remi pulled up the covers, tucking her in.
    “Would you lay with me till I fall asleep?” Jaycee asked, staring up at him. He lay down on the bed, pulling her body to his, holding her gently. “I'm so sorry, Remi. I wanted this child so badly. Why can't they leave me alone?” Tears slipped down to his chest as she rested her head on his chest. He rubbed her back.
    “This isn't your fault, Jaycee. I'll find the people who did this. There are always others who want what we have. They can't handle it and want to take away what we've worked so hard for. But I won't let them hurt you again, baby, I promise.” He kissed her forehead. “Sleep, Jaycee. Your body needs to heal. We'll have other babies,” Remi whispered.
    That was the last thing she heard before drifting off to sleep.
    When she
