Chapter 6

Freddy's POV

I was sore as hell, My shoulder was killing me but I do not want to take a pain pill. I was laying on the couch when there was a knock at my door. I got up to answer it and standing there was Gabby.

"Oh baby I hear you got shot I came to take care of you." She tells me hugging me.

I winced from the pain. What the hell! This woman cheated on me 60 months ago. What the hell is she doing here. "Gabby why are you here?" I asked.

"I heard you were hurt, You need me" she said.

"I don't need anything from you . You cheated on me and I told you we were through. So please leave now." I tell her and she has the nerve to pout.

" I told you I only cheated because you would leave me alone to much. But I'm here to help so why don't you just forgive me." She tells me pouting.

I can't believe this tramp. Just then Jim rides in on his Harley and I see her look his way. Ahh time to see if she's changed at all. He get's off the bike and takes his jacket off leaving him in Jeans and a wife beater.

I see her eyes practically devour him. I smirk, Yeah guess it was a good thing I found out she was a viper. Jim makes his way up to the house and she was practically drooling.

"Hi I'm Gabby" She hells him batting her lashes at him.

He gives her his usual killer smile and I smirk. He turns to me and all I have to say is "The ex."

Jims eyes narrow and he turns to her "Ah this is the bitch that cheated on you, what the hell is she doing her now?" He asked turning back to me.

Gabby had gasped in indignation. "She was just leaving." I tell Jim "Right gabby, so long and hope to never see you again."

She looks me up and down "you will regret this one day Freddy" I smirk.

"Honey I regretted ever meeting you" She flicks her hair back and stomps away.

"What the hell was that about?" Jim asked.

"Ahh she wanted to come take care of me. Said I needed her " I mimic her voice.

He shakes his head "come on go lay down while I make lunch. Then it's off to our new office." he tells me and I find myself smiling.

After our debriefing today Patrick and I turned in our resignations. We are officially ex undercover cops. Now we are official Private investigators. We got our first Job while we were away and Sam took care of it. Now Jim is working on something. Seems we are all ready in business.

I ended up taking a pain pill and sleeping for an hour. When I woke up Jim had lunch ready and Sam and Patrick where here. We ate and talked about the office. When we finished eating we headed out.

We where smack dab in down town. How cool is that. We went in the building and stopped at the 7th floor. When we exited the elevator we made a left. There before me was a glass door with red bold letters that read. SNIPER PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS. I felt a chill run down my spine when I saw my name Frederick Erickson PI.

"Wow guys Love the name" I turn to them and they had big cheesy grins on their faces.

We went inside and It was a big place with wall to wall carpeting in a nice Tan color. There was a couch in a red leather sunset color, some nice paintings on the walls that brought the room together. I smelled vanilla and then noticed the candles accenting the room.

"Wow guys you really did a wonderful job." Patrick told them.

"That was all me" said Sam "Jim wanted black leather everything."

We walked down the small hall way and there where 4 doors each one had our name stenciled on the door. I opened each door and looked inside. Then I came across the last door with my name on it. Pride swelled my chest. I walked in and wow. I had the largest of all 4 rooms and I also had my own private bathroom.

I turned to look at the guys. "This was your dream. We thank you for including us in it. We only thought it was fair to assign you the largest office." Patrick told me and the guys nodded in agreement. I was so touched and honored.

They left me alone in the office and I went to sit behind my large mahogany desk. I closed my eyes and thanked God. My life is perfect now all that is missing is a woman to love and A child that I will never have.

Janet's POV

3 ½ Months later.

"Dad you better hurry up. The plain is going to leave without you." I tell him as I send him and my new step mom off on their honeymoon. I'm so happy for him. I know my mom loved him in her way but now he is truly happy.

I put my hands on my protruding belly where my little daughter seems to be dancing a jig. I rub my tummy "Listen missy you better behave, your mama isn't going to put up with funny business." The kicking stops and I choose to believe she listened.

I drove back home to an almost empty house. I had al ready moved out almost all my belongings. My cousins asked me to move by them and head up a daycare/preschool. Haha since they have enough kids to fill it with. Jean and Judy are contributing their children also.

I can't wait. I can now leave happy because dad will not be alone any more. I got home just in time to make it to the bathroom. "Young Lady I think your going to be a soccer player judging by the way you like to kick my bladder."

I go and lay down for a bit. My back has been killing me all day and I can't stand it any more. " So missy I finally decided on a name for you. What do you think of Kate?" I ask the baby.

She starts to kick really hard now "Oh my I guess Kate it is. Did I ever tell you Kate is the name of your grandmother. No not my mom your fathers mom. Yes he told me the story of how she died. That is one story you will never hear thank God. But yes it is in memory of her that I will name you after her."

I smile as the Image of Freddy pops into my head. So much for no strings attached sex. I think to myself and can't help but laugh. I rub my tummy again so happy at the little miracle growing in there.

I feel another sharp pain followed by oh shit did I just piss on myself. Damn this just sucks. No sooner had the thought crossed my mind when the contractions started. Holy shit my water broke.

I got myself up and changed got my bag and drove to the hospital. I got checked in and the doctor came to my room. "So I hear your water broke?" asked the doctor.

"Yes sir about 25 minutes ago." I answer him.

"Oh how have you been feeling any contractions." he asked.

"No just some pain in my back. It keeps getting worse.' I tell him as he looks under my gown.

"Good Lord" he says.

"What? Why did you say that?" I ask in a panic.

"Well Janet seems this little lady is coming now." He tells me smiling all happy.

"What? No it can't be. I still have 2 weeks to go. Longer since it's my first." I tell him all panicked.

"Well tell that to the little lady who's crowning already." He smirks.

Oh I wanted to smack that smirk from his face.

"Her name is Kate" I whisper to him.

He smiles at me. Then a whole team of people come in and turn the bed into who the hell knows what. They took of the bottom portion and I saw so busy watching. The next thing I know the doctor was there reminding me of an umpire waiting to catch a ball.

"Um am I going to get my epidural now I asked him?" He laughs at me.

"Honey we give that before the 5 centimeter mark. You my dear will deliver at any moment." He tells me.

"But I don't feel that much pain" I tell him and the moment I spit the words out the most intense pain hits.

"Holy shit" I scream out.

"Ah see that is what I was waiting for." He tells me "Remember your breathing exercises." I glare at him.

I concentrate all my time on hating Freddy for putting me here. For not being here with me. For not looking back these past 9 months and caring if I was ok. I hate men, I hate them.

I push and scream and feel all this pain inside my heart as well as my body. I'm freaking alone. I don't think I can do this. I start to cry and give one last push. The next thing I know I hear a soft cry through my angry haze.

My heart starts to beat a different tune. As my arms of their own accord reach out to the crying baby. She's cleaned and placed in my arms. I then find myself crying along with my daughter. My precious daughter.

I take a breath and close my eyes. 'Thank You lord for finding me worthy of one of your gifts. I promise to protect and care for your little angel.' I open my eyes and she is still crying.

"Oh don't cry baby girl, your mommy is here with you. I will love you until the day I die. Sweet baby Kate." She then stopped crying and looked at me. I mean she really looked.

Could she know who I am. At that moment I knew I would never be lonely again. I closed my eyes and said another silent prayer. So God would protect the man who helped give me this child that would make my life complete.

"We may not have your father in our life baby Kate but he is a great man. Even with his tuff childhood. He served our country and became a police officer so he could keep protecting the people. I'm sure if he knew about you he would protect you too." I tell her and she is still looking at me and listening.

I then start to cry again. Should I call him and tell him. No I can't he didn't want anything beyond my body either. "We are going to be ok Kate. You will grow up on a Farm with all your cousins. Just like I wish I would have. You will be a real cowgirl." I kiss her little head.

Yes we are going to be just fine.....
