Chapter 185: Mommy! Mommy!

River POV

"Me either. Now I couldn't imagine not watching  movies" I say grabbing some carmel corn. "Looks like we might have something in common after all" I say bumping him with my shoulder as I laugh.

I'll have to ask him about his home life, seems like we might have a few things in common after all.

He slides his hand over a little towards mine. I don't move it this time. I look over at him and he's already looking at me. He moves his hand over more our fingers touching slightly. My hearts jumps a bit.

He starts to lean towards me when I hear a small shirking voice yell "Mommy!" "Mommy where are you?" I jump a little looking away from him.

My heart skips a beat, that sounds like my Annie!

Then I hear it again "Mommy!" I jump up and I see her walking around looking for me. I throw my hand over my mouth as tears start running down my face. Krazien jumps up and puts his hand on my back and shoulder "What's wrong?"

I shrug his hands off as I yell "Annie!" I run to her as fast as I can.

She sees me and runs my way yelling "Mommy mommy" I grab her and drop to my knees holding her tight to me why I cry. I kiss her face all over.

"Oh my bunny I missed you so much" I look around and then I see him smiling at us from the door way. I stand not letting her go. I just hold her face looking at her.

"You got so big my baby bunny" I say hugging her tight, she giggles.

"Daddy said you would say that" she kisses my face.

I look back to where he was standing.

"Daddy go bye bye. Here a letter" she hands me a note.

River

Please keep our daughter safe, Carter will help you. I'll bring him home don't worry. Tell her I love her when you tuck her in at night. She loves the book you got her the stinky face one, it's in her backpack. She will make you read it over and over but no more then twice please. If you go home Carter and the guys have instructions to keep you in eye view at all times so be nice to them enchantress.

She is the only thing important! We have a rat around and till I weed them out only trust Carter.

I'll see you soon enchantress. You were right she needs us both.

Lucky

"Mommy sad?" She says touching my face and wiping my tears.

"No baby. No mommy's so happy" I kiss her face again.

"Let's go cuddle and watch the movie"

"Krazien this is Annie my daughter" he looks at me for a minute with a look of surprise.

"Hi Annie" he says. She rolls her eyes at him. "Yep,  definitely your kid" he says laughing.

"Shut up" I say smacking his arm.

"Mommy where daddy go?" She asks looking around. I kiss her head.

"He will be back soon, daddy Pickle needs him." She looks at the door and cuddles into me.

We watch the movie and she's asleep on my lap before it's over.  Krazien picks her up from my lap so I can get up. Cater quickly walks over to us and puts his arms out "I'll take her. Have a good night Kraizen" he looks at me and then back to Carter "See you tomorrow at the gym Blondie" he says waving.

"Thank you for coming to hang out with me" he smiles and nods at me then walks out.

"You can be nice sometimes you know" I say to Carter as he walks us to Pickle's room.

"Don't want to give people the wrong impression"

I burst out laughing. He smiles at me.

I get us both in some jammies, her bags were already in here for me. I pull her closer to me. I just lay there looking at her. I start crying softly. She's so beautiful and I missed her so much. I kiss her cheek gently "Daddy and mommy love you so much bunny" I fall asleep listening to her breathing.

"Mommy. Mommy" I hear her crying.

"Shhhh baby I'm right here" she turns and looks at me. She throws her arms around my neck "Mommy" she says as she falls back to sleep.

This has to be so confusing to her. I'm never letting her go again. Lucky's going to have to fight me if he thinks he's leaving with her again.

I try Pickle's phone again. No answer still.

I try Lucky's this time. Nothing. Fine then I'll do it this way.

"River, I don't know anything yet. I'm just as worried as you." Brain say as he answers, I hear the worry in his voice.

"This is bad huh?" I say trying not to cry.

"I don't yet but I know my brother's won't go down without a fight. Maybe you and the baby should go stay with Flame at her family's compound."

"Compound?" I say shocked. "What kind of compound like guys on the roof with guns?"

I say with a small laugh.

"Yeah, sometimes. You two will be safe and then I can concentrate on finding my brothers."  He's really worried or scared but he's trying to hide it so I'm not scared.

He did that all the time when we were little. He always tried to protect me from the horror that was our father. Making games up and silly things to keep me from hearing my mom screaming as our father beat her or playing the "hiding game" when our father was in a rage.

"Ryder, their going to be okay right?" I can't hold  it in any more I start bawling.

"Your okay Riv take your time." He says softly.

"I can't lose them." I say before I wipe my eyes.

"I know monkey. I can't either but we're going to stand up straight and we're going to do what needs to be done. I'll going to dig as deep as I can till I find them and your going to hold your head high and keep your daughter safe." I smile, it's been so long since the last time I heard him call me monkey. He's in big brother mode, I've missed him. I start crying again "You called me monkey" I cry out "Ryder I forgive you and I love you big brother" I hurry and hang up.

I wipe my face and put on a fake smile as I turn and grab Annie as she's trying to sneak up on me. She giggles as I grab her and tickle her.

I guess we're going to stay in the mob compound. I can't wait to see Flame though I've missed her so much. I better call Chailor and let her know what going on. I kiss Annie's face and throw her on the bed pretending to eat her. I love her little giggles and wiggles. I grab my camera and take some pictures of her and some with both of us. God I've missed her.
