Chapter 335: I have a idea
Pickle POV
"Kitten what he means is this is really hard on everyone especially her. I don't want her to think this is permanent till we know for sure okay. She's really confused but you know what baby, she loves and misses you so much." I say wrapping her in a towel as she gets out. I pull her to my chest. I feel her crying against me.
"I have a idea." Lucky says super excited. He grabs her hand and nods his head to us. He quickly gets dressed while I help her get dressed.
Lucky waves to Denalii telling him to get on the bed. Denalii slides up to the headboard.
I take River hands and lead her to the bed. Denalii waves her up to him. She slides in between his legs. Her back hits his chest and he wraps his arms around her as I slide in to her right. Lucky grabs her tablet and pulls something up.
"She keeps a video diary for you. We also have some pictures she's made you." He pushes play handing her the tablet. We laugh and wipe her tears as our little princess tells her every detail of her days. We watch till her eyes close. I pause it and set it on the nightstand.
Denalii slides her up between us. I wrap her up tightly in my arms as she snuggles into my chest. Denalii moves closer moving his arm around her. I can feel Lucky wrapping his legs around hers as he slides his arm around Denalii rubbing her thigh lightly. Tiredness quickly claims us all.
I wake to soft lips on mine. She smiles as I open my eyes. She giggles a little pointing over her shoulder. I lean up and look. Denalii and Lucky are face to face holding on to each other. I laugh reaching for my phone.
I lean and whimper in her ear "Lucky's the only one able to pull him from nightmares so they've been sleeping next to each other a lot. I've got tons of good pictures." I say rolling to my back. I pull her tight to me as I show her the pictures I have.
"They look so cute." She laughs. She pushes up over me as she puts the phone back.
She leans down and kisses me like she used to every morning. Just slow and calm, I pull her head closer as I deepen the kiss.
"Your still here Kitten. It's been four hours and your still with me." I say as a tear runs out of my eye.
"I actually felt like I slept. I feel good, I feel like me." She says with tears of her own.
"What the fuck! Get out of my face!" Denalii yells.
Lucky's laughing so hard his face is red "Good morning Prince of darkness." He says choking back a laugh.
Denalii punches his chest pushing him off the bed.
"He fucking licked my nose!" Denalii says wiping his face with the blanket.
Lucky's laughs fill the room.
"I miss this." River says throwing her arms around Denalii. She leans over and kisses his nose "There now it's all better." He finally laughs with us. I fucking missed this. I missed us. None of us has laughed like this in months.
Lucky jumps on the bed. He stands in front of her and puts out his hand to her. She takes it. He pulls her up and they both start jumping.
"This is why our daughter thinks it's okay." Denalii says throwing a pillow at them. I grab her pulling her back down to me. I kiss her passionately as I hold her head tightly to mine. She pushes harder against my lips deeping the kiss as she runs her fingers through my hair.
A knock makes us all jump "It's breakfast time." The nurse says unlocking the door, she pushes it enough to see it's open but she doesn't come in.
"We'll also need some blood from River and she's need to take another dose. I'll be here waiting." We all laugh. I sit us up. I grab her and slide her backwards towards me as I grab the brush from the nightstand.
"Come in dear." Lucky yells pulling his shirt on and throwing mine and Denalii's at us.
Lucky POV
I'm sitting in the back of the room listening to River tell her story at group. She's been her again for sixteen hours now. River is amazing and so strong. I'm nervous about being gone for so long but this is important, if we have any chance to bring Finn and Mumford home then I need to leave as planned.
"Thank you River for sharing and it's great to finally hear your voice. I see you brought someone with you today. Do you want to introduce him to group?"
River's face lights up as she nods quickly.
"This is Lucky. Lucky is one of my partners." She says. I wave at the six people in the room.
"Lucky thank you for joining us today. Are you the partner who once lived in association with.." she motions around the room "the church?"
I nod "Yes. I grew up in a church ran household to the age of thirteen. At thirteen I ran away. We now run Alyce's Place, we help homeless people get a placement home. We also help member of the church leave and offer them help in rebuilding their lives." I sit back now as they clap.
A kid around fifteen raises his hand.
"Colt do you have a question." The counselor asks.
"Yes for both of them I guess." He says.
"For Lucky. Do you have siblings that were left behind and if you do is there a way to get them out if the parent won't leave?"
I take a deep breath "I found out I had a baby sister from my father. My father took the eleven year old bride that was to be mine when I ran away. We have actually adopted my sister, she is now our daughter. As far as I know I might have four more siblings but I haven't been able to find any information on them yet." He looks down sadly. I walk over to him and hand him a card.
"Ask for Pickle or Heather and let them know I sent you. We can see what we can do to help." He nods.
"River if you found out you had any siblings would you want to know them?" He asks looking at her. I look at him for a minute he has brown hair and green eyes a little lighter then River's.
"Yes I would. I actually might have a little brother named JJ who is almost five he is the child of a young girl my father kidnapped and raped before he handed her over to the church." I squeeze her shoulder as tears roll down her face.
"If you could would you save him?" Colt asks tears of his own falling now.
"Yes." She says grabbing my hand.
"If he was messed up like us would you still want him?" Colt asks.
