Chapter 8

One month later.

Ok so I've been dreading and anticipating this time for a while now. I leave for Texas in 20 minutes. Will she remember me. Yeah I think she will. It was an amazing night.

I just need to see her and maybe this attraction will be over. It's just the memory of her that has me grasping at straws but it's been almost a year now and I just have to know.

I make it to Austin and Go check out the client. I did surveillance for her. She had been stalked by a guy she went out with. But it seemed that he had been obsessed with her. He would turn up in the most unlikely places and she finally got scared and called us.

It turned out at the end of the assignment it was someone she knew from her youth. He had become obsessed with her all his life. Had pictures of her on his wall and had her day planed out every step she made he had written down.

One day he snapped and took her. He took a sick pleasure in disfiguring her face so no one would love her or want her but him. It was the saddest case I've had to deal with so far. Then We tracked her down following the pattern he didn't even realize he had mapped out in his notes. He was put in jail and she moved her to Texas.

Her last court date is this coming week so I have to go testify.

But alas it's just a means to an end. I will Go find my Infamous Janet Codey and once and for all prove that it's all in my imagination. That it wasn't as spectacular as I remembered. That Her skin wasn't as soft as silk. That her kisses weren't as sweet as honey.

That the way she moaned my name didn't make me cum then and there. I felt my body start to tighten. God I need that woman. But it's not just the sex. We also talked the night away. I told her about my parents and my life in foster care. She told me about her family. Her dad and mom and how she always felt unloved by her dad.

I feel a strong urge to want to be there for her. To protect her. To love her. Holy shit where did that come from. I sit up straight in the chair. No this can't be! Do I love here. Just the thought of it has my heart raising.

Janet's POV

"Oh come on little one, it's time to go to sleep. I have to get up in a couple of hours soon." I coo at little Kate.

She has been growing so much. She is no longer my little fragile girl but a little fluffy pudgy thing. She is just adorable but then again this is her mother talking. I nuzzle her neck, God I love this baby smell.

I really don't mind getting up for the late night feedings. I feel like we bond more. Right know she's in my arms and I'm trying to burp her. So she can latch on to the other breast. She is so lazy for feeding. She cries because she's hungry but when she latches on to my breast to drink. After sucking for a little while she gets tired and falls asleep.

So that means she feeds almost every 2 hours or less. I finally get a good burp out of her so I take her and put her in her crib. She stays asleep, yes success. I then walk over to the chair by the window and look out. The sun is starting to come out on the horizon and it doesn't fail to take my breath away,

Uncle walkers land is just so beautiful. I close my eyes and his face pops in again. God when am I going to get over him already. It's been almost a year now and it doesn't fail. Like clock work my mind congers up his image everyday. I guess it doesn't help having to look at his daughter every day.

I wonder who in his family had colored eyes because she has blue eyes. Us Codeys are all dark eyes dark hair. Freddy had dark eyes and dark hair. But Kate had the colored eyes and that little silky hair of hers is blondish.

She looks little a little princess. Lucy, Casey and Sam just love her to pieces. Even though they have babies of their own. The guys are also spoiling her all the time too. I'm so glad I decided to come stay with them.

But it was very intimidating at the start. I was so used to not being coddled or getting to much love from anyone. But this month has been an eye opener. The guys drop by every little while so does uncle Walker and the girls. We have dinner at the main house every Sunday.

But Today they have all gone to Texas for Kim and Tammy's baby shower. I chose to stay behind. Oh don't get me wrong I love all the attention. But it can be over whelming. I need some time alone and some peace and quiet.

I head on back to bed for at least 2 more hours of sleep.

Freddy's POV

I arrived in Texas and went to go get settled at the hotel. I'm meeting Miranda at her house in 20 minutes. She has gone through a lot of plastic surgery and I must admit she looks a lot better. But she still has a fear in her. That I think might never go away.

I got all ready and headed out to her place. We talked about the upcoming trial and she briefed me on what her lawyer said they might ask. Standard questions, but like I always say. Just tell the truth and justice will prevail.

I had come back home had lunch and was getting ready for a shower when Patrick called me. "Hey Freddy I need a huge favor from you." He tells me.

"Um ok shoot" I tell him as I hear Amy Lu yelling at him in the back ground.

It has been the most entertaining month. They go at it like cats and dogs. She's dropped him on his ass to many times to count. Hahaha the guys and I have a bet going. I give them no more than another week or 2 before there in each others bed. No more then 2 months before their married. Sam is thinking 6 months tops and Jim is hoping he comes to his senses and just says no.

"Lucy just called. Seems some friends of hers have gone missing. They where last seen leaving the place where the party is being held with Ben's ex." Patrick says.

"Oh is that the Ben and Tim, from Lucy's wedding?" I ask.

"Yes that's them. You know they have to be missing for 24 hours before the cops get involved. But we know the trail will be cold by then. Can you swing by and see what you can do." he tells me.

So I head out to the address he gave me. Ok lord I'll take this as a sign that I should go find her. I smile at the thought that I will soon be seeing her. I arrived at the location and got the information of what happened.

(If you have not read it, this part happened in the story BOTTOMS UP. So I don't want to waist time retelling this part)

I can't believe we found Ben unharmed. I'm happy this turned out ok. But I don't know that Ken guy just seemed off. I head back to the party with Luke and then go in to say good bye.

I kind of worked Janet into the conversation and found out she was now staying at the Codey ranch and had a baby. What the fuck. Mike said it was 9 months to the day of the wedding.

No it can't be mine. I'm sterile could she have been with another man after me. No I can't believe that I won't think of her that way.

I excuse my self and head back to the hotel. Holy shit, I get in the car and drive to Longview. I have to see her and get some explanations. Something seems off.

My mind was racing as I headed out there.

Janet's POV

I was getting dinner ready. Since it's just me and Kate, I just make some sandwiches for my self with a glass of Milk. I was sitting on the front porch with Kate in her bassinet at my side. It was a fairly nice day. I love Texas weather.

I closed my eyes enjoying the nice breeze when I heard the purr of a motor. Hm It can't be the guys this early. I open my eyes and the car stops in front of the house.

I glace over at Kate making sure she's still asleep and wait to see who emerges from the car. My heart stalled for a beat when my brain registers that figure . Even with the setting sun casting a glow around him making it impossible to see the face. My body's reaction to this person left no boubt in my mind as to who it was.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. He walked over to me and I just looked. Like a deer caught in head lights, I was not able to move a muscle. He walked right in front of me and lifted me off the chair and kissed me, senseless.

It was then that Kate chose to wake up and cry. The spell was broken and we jump apart from each other.

I looked at him and then bent down to pick her up. "How did you find out about your daughter?" I asked him when I looked up at him it was just in time to see his eyes roll back and wham he hit the floor.

'Holy shit." I put Kate back in her bassinet.

What the hell am I supposed to do now. I run inside and get a wet towel and put it on his forehead. Then Trevor rides in on his horse.

"Sorry ma'am But I saw a car drive up and I knew you was alone. Just making sure your ok." He says as he spots the body on the floor.

He smiles "Recken you can take care of yourself if you knocked him flat like that." He smirks.

"Very funny Trevor come help me get him inside." I tell him and motion for him to put him on the couch..
