12. “I killed him.” 

@sweetacidrain

Cass sat on the stairs and tried not to look at the body in the living room but she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do. Was she supposed to call the police? Would that come back on Jace? She didn’t know so all she could do was sit on the stairs and wait for him to come through the door. Of course she’d called him when the banging on the door started and she’d put the kids up in Delilah’s room since she had the little cubby in her closet but Cass hadn’t expected this. She ran a shaky hand through her hair at the sound of a car pulling up followed by someone running up the stairs and pushing the front door open. As soon as their eyes met Cass looked away towards the living room. “I killed him.” There was no emotion in her voice as she motioned to the gun sitting on the step next to her. She’d perfectly positioned herself half way up the stairs so that no one would get to her children if someone else came. “Del and Levi are in her room. I got them up there before he came in... the back door is broken.”  There was a pause as she took a breath. “I didn’t call anyone. I didn’t.... I didn’t know what I was supposed to do.”

Even with their son cuddled up against his side Cassie didn’t want to look at Trent at the moment. It wasn’t the first time they’d been in a hospital room after an accident at work but it was the first time since Liam was born. Their son who seemed oblivious to what was going on and was just happy to be cuddled. “If that’s your attempt at making me feel better, it’s not going to work.” As soon as she’d put the little boy down on the hospital bed she took a step back and ran her fingers through her hair. “You want to know what kind of visit I don’t want at the bar? Your Captain coming in to say you were hurt and he didn’t want to tell me over the phone. I mean yeah I’m thankful he came to pick me up and let me grab Liam before we came here but don’t give me that bullshit of it could have been worse. Worse is you dead.” She pointed out before shaking her head. Really she’d known from the beginning that being with a firefighter was going to be hard but having a baby with him made it harder. Hell they hadn’t even had their wedding yet. “He told me you went back in, why would you do that?”

Send me ‡ for my character's reaction to yours climbing into bed with mine.

It was normal for Cass to go to bed alone on a pretty regular basis. That was what happened when Trenton’s shifts included a good amount of the night. But she knew he’d be there when she opened her eyes in the morning. As long as he was safe she didn’t mind sleeping alone. So her favorite nights tended to be the ones where she woke up to the bed dipping as he slipped in behind her. All that really mattered was that he showered if there had been a fire because it was almost impossible to get that smell out of the sheets and she really couldn’t stomach it. “You’re home.” She mumbled before rolling over to face him. A sleepy smile covered her lips as she looked at him before her fingers dusted over his cheek. “I thought your shift went till seven? It’s still dark out.”

The last time she’d gotten up for the baby had been at two and there was no way she’d slept for over four hours already. “Are you okay?”

Cass cursed as she dropped her makeup bag and the items inside seemed to scatter. She knew that Corbin would be back soon and she couldn’t tell him what had happened. But he always came over early when they had dinner plans and tonight was no exception. “It’s nothing.” The blonde tried to shove things back into the bag with shaking hands while doing her best to let her hair cover her face. “I’ll be out in a few minutes. I didn’t get a chance to stop at the store so I’ll order something in. But just go sit down and I’ll be out in a few.” 

My muse had been kidnapped and tortured for the past week send “I’m here- I’m here, now” for your muse to save them.

Cass shivered but she knew it was from a fever and not from the temperature in the room. If there was one thing the man had been doing it was making sure she did’t die there. That would have made all of this useless. Looking up from her knees she saw Corbin in the doorway and she let out a choked sob. He was there for her. “You’re here.” She repeated in a broken voice but she didn’t move from her spot on the bed. The most recent bite on her forearm pulsed and she wondered if it was because the full moon was getting closer. “It’s too late though.” The blonde whispered as she slowly stretched out her arm.

“Oh.” The pain was instant and so severe Cass was surprised she was even able to speak at all. Corbin had never been one to hold things back but he’d never done something to hurt her either. “I have to go.” She nodded as if acknowledging her own statement would hide how broken she was after that statement. God she wanted the key to her place back but couldn’t bring herself to mention that now. Too much was going through her head and she needed to get away from him before everything came crashing down around her.

Cass smiled down at Jace as she lightly ran her fingers through his hair. He really was cute when he wanted to be close to her like this. “Do you think Marcus is still up for watching Del when we’re in the hospital?” Of course he had his own child but that didn’t make Del less of a handful. She was a little girl that knew what she wanted and that was probably her parents fault. But it wasn’t like he would have her for a long time just when Cass went into labor so the little girl wasn’t stuck at the hospital since the chance of Jace leaving her alone was slim. “I’m still hoping we wont be there for Christmas. You’ll actually have to leave me to make sure Santa does everything right if that’s the case.” She smiled before twisting one of his curls around her finger.
