Chapter 317: "Okay let's all take a breath

Pickle POV

"I know baby girl. She'll be better soon. I promise. I love you too bunny." I caress River's face. I check her IV again. My phone rings as soon as Annie hangs up.

"Hey Denalii. Yes. I told you she needed to know! I don't know what she remembers or even what she thinks is real. Yes hold on." I switch over to video call and prop it up for him.

"Go ahead." I say setting the phone next to her. She hasn't been awake for longer then minutes at a time for about thirty hours.

"Hey baby. It's me again. If you can hear me just know how much I love you. Everyone's safe, please know that. Please open your eyes for us." He says as he sniffs his nose. She twitches her hands and moves her lips.  I don't think anyone's slept in at least forty hours, at least no ones slept well or for long. She screams constantly. I hate that she has to go this this shit again. The trauma of that old bald fuck showing her them shooting up the Nunzio plane after he told her our daughter was on there with a hacked email that Lucas sent out. Then that fucking pig filmed him self touching her and licking up her face if that wasn't bad enough he sold it to a news station and chased them for hours selling their location.

"Lucky your turn brother." Denalii yells.

"Enchantress you sexy beast. I miss you baby. Please open these green eyes that hypnotize me. I need you please, Denalii only has me to tell his jokes too and I'm going to put the pillow over his head tonight." Lucky laughs and throws the pillow at him. I pick up the phone and look at them both.

"Are you guys still sleeping in the same bed?" Lucky throws the pillow at the phone.

"Shut up brother. You know you'd be here with us in the same bed if you were here too." Denalii says pushing Lucky over so he can get in the frame.

"Fair enough. I miss you guys. I'm hoping lowering the meds like doc said will help her wake up.

"They are gold like a dragons but sexy." River mumbles. "His eyes that's all I remember."

"That's you boy." Lucky yells jumping on the bed.

"That's my good girl." Lucky says with a growl in his voice.

Her face blushes. "He has everything pierced." She moans.

"That fucking right baby. You moan loud for me."

"Lucky." She moans out. My heart jumps. Is she waking up.

"That's right Kitten, that was Lucky and Denalii." I say touching her cheek lightly not wanting to scare her.

"He thinks I love them over him but it's him. He's always who I want. I know he'll save me cause with him it's always real. He knows how hard it is to miss Finn."

"Finn!" Where is he? Luca help me!" I start crying holding her face.

"I love you River. Come back to me please my love. Kitten open your eyes." I lean my head down on the bed. I don't even look up when Jasper opens the door and comes in.

"Hey Jasper"  Lucky says throwing shit at Denalii.

River giggles then frowns "I'll fuck you but I'm not playing your games little girl." She says mocking him.  My head shoots up and I stand making the chair fall back.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Pickle take a breath." Denalii yells as I walk towards Jasper.

"Okay let's all take a breath. As you can see I've been beat up enough. Can I use that back burner shit!" Jasper says putting his hands up. I mean he is all beat to hell, River beat his ass for a full five minutes and it's been playing on a loop online recording from above them with some kind of drone.

"Fine but your getting hit!" I yell throwing a soda bottle at him hitting him in the thigh.

"He already did. Look at this sexy woman of our beating him to a bloody pulp. Watch this I taught her that."  Lucky says laughing and bragging.

"What do you call an alligator that likes to follow to closely? Denalii says laughing trying to push Lucky away from him.

"A tail-gator."

I laugh a little. Sometimes they're so stupid they're funny.

"Denalii makes me laugh and when I sleep he calls me from the darkness. He calls me over and over Amorina, Amorina come back to me." She says then she gasps and sits straight up.

"River?" I say walking slowly to her. Her eyes fill with tears. She picks up the phone. Denalii is sitting there with his mouth open. Lucky and Jasper look curious but not willing to scare her by asking questions. I know what that means. She touches his face on the screen.

"You knew!" She starts bawling "You knew all the way from back when I met you at the club." She grabs her head then throws the phone shattering it against the wall.

"What the fuck!" Carter says running in half asleep. He gasp when he sees her sitting up crying.

"Pickle." She cries out when she scans the room and sees me. She opens her arms. I rush over to her. I sit and pull her to me tightly. I kiss her head over and over.

"I missed you Kitten." She moves her head and starts kissing me. I relax into her arms. She turns and straddles me kissing me harder and faster. She moans in my mouth as I wrap her in my arms.

"I have to pee." She says as she stops. Carter comes over and unhooks her IV bag. I move her a little so I can stand. I lift her.

"Hold on." She waves her hand at Jasper to come over. She touches his face gently.

"Was it you or Lucky she says holding my face to hers." I lean in and suck on her ear lobe a little as I whisper "That was all you my love." I say laughing.

"I hit you." She covers her mouth with a gasp.

"I'm fine dear."

She laughs and blushes.

"I'm sorry." She says to him touching his face.

"I'm sorry Pickle. I'm so sorry my lover. Your my everything and I keep letting you down and your still here for me. That's how I know you really love me." She grabs my face and kisses me deep but soft like she needs me to live.

I take her to the bathroom, I'm waiting outside the door.

"Pickle." She calls my name out softly.

I help her stand and pull up her pants. I hold her hips while she washes her hands and brushes her teeth. I lift her up and start brushing her hair.

"Do you hate me?" She asks me in a soft voice. I look down at her. I turn her to face the mirror. I lean down and kiss her neck.
