Chapter 154: She's spiraling

River POV

"Okay I'll tell you what I know and you can fill in the blanks. You guys were fighting because of a secret, Brain left and now you're all leaving and everyone is saying goodbye to me like your not coming back or you not going to be around me again" I say breathing heavy trying to get it all out.

Pickle reaches for me. I smack his hand away, he looks hurt but he'll be fine.

"I told you she was spiraling" Lucky yells at Pickle. He sounds in a panic.

"What happened River?" Flame asks softly.

"You guys are all lying and keeping something from me. So it's something bad, I know Brain is a hacker and I know about your family business and I know things happen on jobs" I look where Pickle's arm is stitched.

Pickle tries to touch my cheek "Please don't touch me, it just confuses me. I have it down to two things" I walk over and close the door.

"First thing, you guys are leaving for a job and it's dangerous. That's why all the weird goodbyes or Two" I take a deep breath as a tear falls down my cheek slowly "Two, something happened to.."

My voice breaks "Something happened to Finn and no one wants to tell me" I start crying.

Pickle grabs me quickly "Ohhhh god Kitten, I can see how you can get to both of those scenarios"

He just hold me tight but doesn't say either theory is wrong.

"Stop!" I say putting my hands on his chest. I push him back a little.

I look at him then the other two. I look back to Pickle "Tell me now!" Pickle looks down so I look at Flame she looks down to so I then look at Lucky, he doesn't look away.

Lucky holds my eyes "It's not ours to share but I promise you It doesn't have anything to do with Finn" I let out a held breath and tears start streamed down my face.

I look at him "Please tell me" he walks over and kisses my forehead "I can't lie to you and I can't tell you the truth and it's tearing me apart" he kisses my nose then my lips "I'm sorry enchantress please forgive us" he says as he looks down.

"Pickle!" He shakes his head "I can't baby I'm sorry" he puts his head against mine "I hope you understand one day." I shake my head.

Flame's crying and is shaking her head "Sorellina I'm sorry"  is all she says and she walks away.

I look at Pickle and he says "Little sister, is what she said" I nod and turn away from them.

I grab my stuff and the baby's things "Please don't call me until your ready to be honest with me, Be safe and I hope everything goes well for you all" I wipe my face and open the door.

Crash looks at me and says "I got the car seat put in the car" I look at him weird "What car?"

"Flame got her driver to take you and Annie" I nod "Thank you sweetheart" I say to him as I head to the stairs.

"I'll take these and Annie's stuff is downstairs waiting"

"Thank you Crash"

"Just bring her with you here for training and she's going to play with Jenn while we training. I usually do 8 or 9 but how about we meet at 10 I'll give you a hour later since it will be your first day with a toddler" he laughs.

"She's sweet" I say smiling at him.

"Remember that later" he says laughing.

"Bunny" I say with a smile as I scoop her up.

"Me and you are having a sleepover for a few days. My friend Chailor is the best cookie maker ever, we can ask her to make you any kind of cookie you like"

She smiles so big and says "coco ones"

Crash whispers "chocolate" translateing for me. I nod and smile at him.

"River please" Lucky says walking up behind me.

"Oh sorry, Annie go say bye bye to the boys"

"Bye Ucky" he leans over and kisses her cheek.  He kisses mine and I let him.

"Bye, I sleep at new mommy's room" she says as Pickle kisses her cheek.

"River, I'll call you later" Pickle says. I shake my head. "You both can video chat Annie at bedtime. Have a safe flight"

I have Carter show me how to get her in the car seat and how to get her out "The same car and driver will pick you up tomorrow and bring you guys here, so the seat can stay in there" I smile at him "Thank you"

I walk around the car and I look at the boys before I get in.

I swallow hard and continue to get in, I look out the back window as we pull away and I see Pickle punch the house as we turn from the driveway.

Annie is talking about anything and everything so I can understand some I have to just pretend.

She's being a goof ball now, telling some cute joke Lucky told her this morning and singing a silly song Flame taught her.

How can someone meet her and not love her?

I reach over and squeeze her hand.

"Okay beautiful little Bunny, here's my house"

"Yayy" she yells and claps her hands.

Lincoln comes out to grab our bags.

"Big tall daddy!" she yells excitedly her eyes are huge watching Lincoln.

I laugh as I open the door on her side to get her out. "Thank you Lorenzo" I say to our driver as he helps take out stuff inside with Lincoln.

"Oh your a cute little bean aren't you" Chailor says coming from the kitchen.

"A red mommy"  Annie gasps out and claps her hands.

Chailor laughs as she crouches down to her level.

"Wow red pretty" Annie says touching Chailors hair.

"Hi Annie I'm Chailor and this is Lincoln"

"Tall daddy and red mommy and Annie and yellow mommy " she says as she points to each of us.

"Remember Bunny I'm River "

She laughs "Yellow mommy River"

"Red mommy makes coco cookies?" She asks taking Chailor's hand.

Chailor looks at me and laughs " I can make some coco cookie but first let's make lunch then you and River can be my special helpers with cookies okay?"

"Watch singing movie" she looks at me.

"What movie is that?"

"We watch and I sit with you and Pickle, you make kissy eyes with ucky"  she looks at me.

I blush as Chailor and Lincoln

"The one we watched last night" she nods and takes my hand.

"Kissy eyes with ucky huh?" Chailor says.

"Yep other yellow mommy says that you want to kiss faces with ucky" she makes kissing sounds as she runs around laughing.

I grab her and throw her on the couch and kiss all over her face as she screams and laughs.
