Chapter 387 Did you ask him?
River POV

I laugh as he pulls away and spins me again. He lightly kisses my lips before he sits me back up on the table.

"When we're released I want to go where you go." I say touching his face.

"No question nugget your stuck with me." He says holding me sitting again.

"Sorry your rooms should be ready soon." A nurse peaks her head in and says really quick.

"Wait we're supposed to be in the same room."

"I'll check on that." She says smiling at us.

"Do you think we should tell Pickle?" I say him taking his hand.

He nods and kisses my cheek.

"Will you stay with me in case he gets mad?"

"He won't be mad baby, maybe a little worried and freaked out like you are but he would never be mad at you." He kisses my nose making me giggle.

"Did you ask them about Denalii?" He nods.

"Did I really kill him?" I look down as the tears fall. I hold my breath waiting to hear what he has found out.

"No my love you didn't. He's in a rehab facility in Switzerland. They don't have any contact with him but since Lucas pays the bills they were able to verify that he is there."

"Ohh thank god!" I feel like after all these months I can finally breathe a little better. I kiss his lips.

"Do you worry about us staying together?" I ask looking away. He turns my face to his and stands. He slides his hand under my jaw touching my cheek "No baby I don't cause I'm never letting you go. Your my wife, we made vows and I take those seriously. I love you River. When I agreed to leave with you all those months ago I agreed to always be with you." He wipes the tears from my face.

"I love you Shelly with everything I am." I lean up and kiss him.

Someone knocks and we both get to our positions and wait.

"Can I come in?" Pickle asks. I can hear a grunt and a growl come from his throat as he does. Sheldon touches my hand and I rise pulling my shirt down over me.

"Sorry it's a habit, we'll work on it." Sheldon says fist bumping Pickle.

"Will you sit with us for a minute?" I ask getting down. I wait till Sheldon sits on the couch against the wall and gets comfy then I take my place on his lap and pat the couch next to me for Pickle to sit with us. He looks over us for a minute then sits.

"Can I ask about Annie? I know she's upset with me right now so if it's not okay I understand." I say as I slightly look at him. Sheldon lifts my face and lightly touches my palm. I move my face up to look at Pickle more. He looks so tired, like life has been too much for him lately. He's still beautiful, his green eyes watching me gives me butterflies. His brown hair is longer then before not much just enough to notice, he has some stubble forming across his jaw making him look more like a father then before. My daughter is lucky to have such wonderful men for her dad's. I know no matter what happens to me she will always be loved so fiercely by those men forever.

"She's doing better. Her face.. is bruised up but they never touched them. Thank god!"

"We didn't know." Sheldon says.

"It was only by accident that we found them. We were on our way out." I say. "We had planned for months but a new idiot 'needing to follow the rules' fucked us!" Sheldon says. I reach up and touch his burnt cheek softly.

"They got out and were safe because of you guys." He says. He keeps looking at our hands interwoven together. I touch his hand lightly.

"You have questions?" I say moving my hand back but he grabs it and puts it back on his. He looks at me for a minute.

"Someone was moving kids to safe points anonymously for months at places not known by many was it you two?" We look at each other and nod.

"River would you really stay there and be the leader of that place?" His eyes have a hurt look in them and it's too much. I look down as tears fall from my face.

"I wouldn't have a lot of respect as the leader but my husband would and together we would stay to help them. It would have been a lot of work but eventually we would have been able to completely dismantle it from the inside. I would stay and be tortured for a million years to save my daughter and my boys!" I say wiping the tears from eyes.

"River." Pickle says as he reaches his hand up to touch my face. I flinch in reflex and he pulls his hand back. Sheldon sees the pain in my eyes, he lifts Pickle's hand and puts it on my cheek and the puts his hand over his.

"Not all punishment we endured were physical. Randy is master of mind manipulation." I say looking at my feet.

"Even I can't figure out how he made some of these things happen. He can make people...and us see those we love torturing, beating and raping us like it's really them. I was talking to a guy earlier on the bus and he said it can be done with some kind of psychedelic drug like hallucigens mixed with mind manipulation. We know it wasn't really physically you guys but to us it was real and we just need time to work through what's real and what wasn't." Sheldon says.

Pickle looks pissed I can feel his hand start to shake before he pulls it from my cheek. I want to take that pain away from him but I don't how.

"Pickle I don't want to hurt you, so I have asked for my medical care to be kept private and Sheldon's as well. We just need..." I don't know the right words to use without hurting his feelings.

"We just need a little privacy when it comes to our injuries and things we were put through there. For right now at least please. Things have happened to.. both of us we don't need everyone knowing." Sheldon helps me finish.

"I do want to talk to you about something that happened to me that I need your help with." I say wiping the tears now falling down my cheek.

"Anything Kitten, anything." He say smiling at me. I move my hand to my belly.

"She's further along than we thought." Sheldon says smiling at me and squeezing my hand.

"We were together the night I was taken before they... before they raped me." I say as I stand. I walk over and grab a tissue "They had been switching out my birth control for fertility drugs. This baby could be yours. I got pregnant that day." I say unable to look at him.
