children, and that he missed us. He told me to tell you something and I couldn't make sense of it.” She lowered her head. “He said to remember when you got grounded for something he did. He told you that the same thing was happening now.” She looked up into his eyes and tears slip down his face. “Do you know what that means?”
    He pulled her tighter against his chest, resting his head on her head. “Yes, I know what he means. I had an idea who is doing all this to us, but now I'm certain who it is.” Remi slipped his hands under her legs, stood up, and carried her towards the hotel door. “I need to make some calls and I want you safe.” Remi murmured in her hair. They stepped into the elevator to their suite.

    Jaycee soaked in the huge tub, bubbles and candles everywhere, while her mates talked over plans on how to catch the people hurting her. She was listening to Nocturne by Triniti on her headphones. The music just soared through her. When she closed her eyes, she could see Pierre smiling at her, his body moving as the wind itself, handsome. She remembered when he'd said goodbye that night. It was as if it were just yesterday when he'd gone out to defend her, to hunt for her.
    She remembered his teasing smile of wicked things to come later that night, and then she saw him holding something. It was her baby, the one she'd lost. He held him tight, staring down at him. I now have something from both of you. I will take care of him. I promise , he whispered to her as he turned, leaving her.
    “No!” Jaycee jumped up from the tub. Water splashed onto the floor. They couldn't be gone, but she knew they had passed over and that they would not be back. Jaycee threw the headphones across the room, and the sound of shattering glass from her mates’ dropped glasses broke the silence as they ran to get to her. Tears ran down her face. She shook, she pulled her knees up to her body and rocked back and forth, watching the candles as her mates burst into the room and checked the bathroom.

Chapter Five
    “What's wrong?” Remi got down on his knees, brushing her tears away.
    “He was here with our baby. Pierre was here,” she whispered, gasping for breath. “He came to say goodbye. He said he'll take care of our son. That he wasn't alone.” She watched Remi lower his head, tears slipped down his face. He pulled her into his arms, soaking wet, and held her close.
    “At least he has him and they are not alone.” Remi picked her, up carrying her out of the bathroom to the bed. He laid her down in the middle. Dane crawled on one side and Remi on the other. They held her, petting her, soothing her. She looked up and noticed Mark hugging Remi's back, rubbing his shoulders and arms.
    “It was so real Remi, his smile and his love. I wish you could have seen him. He was so at peace.” Jaycee whispered, staring at him.
    Dane hugged her from behind. “I think he was telling the both of you it's okay. He understands that you two were meant to be.” Dane looked at Remi.
    “I think you're right. I've felt guilty I was here instead of him, but now I know I was supposed to be here with you.” Remi leaned in, kissing her lips softly. Jaycee started to giggle and couldn't stop.
    He pulled back, frowning down at her. “I don't think my kisses are funny.” Jaycee nodded down at his chest, laughing. He looked down and saw what she was laughing at. He smiled as he picked up some of the clinging bubbles, putting them on her nose. “Looks like I need to take a bath. Care to join me?” he asked, grinning down at her.
    “You three go ahead, I'm going to make contact with your second and get this plan into motion.” Dane hopped out of the bed, looking down at his soaked clothes and laughed. “I'll call down and get clean sheets and blankets also. And, baby, I have a surprise for you when you get out of tub.” He smirked as he walked around the bed, picking up his phone to make the phone calls.
    Mark slipped off the bed
