Starting a new life somewhere new and calm...with this crew? What could go wrong?


I woke up again, I had been asleep for around 16 hours, Eddie was very worried and didn’t leave my side. He fed me some food for breakfast even though I didn’t feel too hungry. I lay in our makeshift bed, blanket covering me still as I adjust to being awake. Eddie stood looking down at me in front of the window, blocking the sun from hitting me and at the same time making him appear as some type of deity or angel with the way the light hits around him.

“Good news, darling.” Eddie said.

Before he could respond, I had noticed the two other guys were gone, and I asked, “Where are they?”

“That’s what I was going to tell you about…”

“Did you…kill them?”

“Oh, heavens no, darling…Richard is off doing some errands for me, he didn’t have a choice.”

I felt relieved, I know how they had a scuffle because of his…incident prior…

“Oh, ok…” I said, as I started to get up.

“I have got some money to take care of you, and it’s only going to keep pouring in from now on, I have you and our child covered…do not worry about money, darling. I have it all taken care of.” He pulled me in for a hug, and I enjoyed the warmth between us. I wonder how he is getting this money, but honestly, I don’t care, money is money. By being around Trager for a while, I have learned a few things. He was born into wealth and tried to surpass his father, but of course, that was cut short because he was sent into the morphogenic engine for repeated testing after shit went down at work. He apparently had money backed up somewhere that he was able to take out at some point today. I have no idea about Eddie’s job background, I’ll have to ask him eventually. He is going to find a new job once we find a house and I do believe the longer we are away from that asylum, the better he will become mentally, and his facial scars might fade.

About a week passes of us living in that cramped cabin, somehow going unnoticed. Pretty sure they killed anyone who tried to take it back and robbed them of their money. Visibly, the guys are nearly untraceable with how much they changed due to the engine deforming all of them. I am not worried about the police. The cops haven’t even been checking the asylum, Murkoff is trying to keep what happened under wraps and everyone quiet. Eddie and I step out of the cabin to get some fresh air. We sit in some chairs outside, gazing at the mountain where we originally got in this mess and the woods. He can’t stop looking at me.

“What?” I ask, smiling at him.

“You’re just so beautiful.” He replies, reaching his hand out for mine.

“Aw…thank you, Eddie.”

“Darling, I have another thing I must tell you.”

“What?”

Eddie gets up from his chair and comes directly in front of mine and gets on one knee, “This…is for you, a symbol of our matrimony and love for each other. I apologize I couldn’t get a ring for you when I married you, darling, but now I have it, I have one for myself too. By wearing this ring, it finalizes our vowels, together until death. I love you.”

I cup my hands around my mouth. “Oh my gosh. Baby, you did this for me?”

“Of course, darling. Anything for my sweet girl and our baby.”

I can’t even believe this right now. He tenderly takes my hand and slides the ring onto my ring finger.

“There.” He says.

“It’s beautiful, I love it, I love you.” The ring shimmers with many tiny crystals in the center.

He leans in and kisses me, grabbing the side of my face and pushing our lips together harder.

Soon enough, we took a train all the way from Colorado to Florida. It took a few days, but each day I will remember with joy for the rest of my life. The reasoning behind Florida was completely random, but Eddie does want to be able to take our future child to Disney World. We had many sweet moments on the train ride, every morning Eddie brought me fresh decaf coffee with the perfect amount of vanilla in it, he knows how I like my coffee, he likes his black. Lots of silly conversations between Arthur and Rick, and some cute bickering between Eddie and Rick as usual, it was all fun to watch and pretty wholesome seeing how they are getting along now. I got lots of snuggles on our journey. The bumpy ride made Eddie extra cautious of me, letting me sit on his lap as he held my waist, scared the shaking of the train would hurt the baby. I am not big at all by any means, but I’m not flat either, it looks like I am maybe 9 weeks pregnant. I am probably just a month pregnant. Again, we don’t have a good time stamp on how long we stayed in Mount Massive, but probably a week or so, and then another two weeks after we escaped, that leads us to this moment. It is very sweet of him being this protective even at the stage I’m in. Before the train ride, he bought a lot of books about pregnancy, like, a ridiculous amount, which I love about him. He wants to educate himself on everything I am going through so he can love me even better. He needs to know every single little thing that happens inside and out while I go through this journey. One night on the train, he held me close and we read the books together, his hand slowly caressing my tiny bump. It made my whole body warm with love… The act itself of making his child inside me was very important to him, even before I got pregnant, it brings us even closer than ever before.

Soon after arriving in Florida, Eddie has somehow scoured a mansion to live together all the way here in the sunshine state. A large, beautiful, and elegant old time mansion, probably built in the 1950’s that's been kept up to date ever since. With a good amount of money behind us, I don’t think they “paid” for the mansion, though. Turns out Trager did the talking and successfully tortured and mutilated the original owners to give us the mansion and transfer ownership into our names so we don’t get questioned… But I don’t fear the police, they got tipped off over Murkoff, and in the eyes of the law, Me, Eddie, Arthur, Rick…we are dead. I also did contact my family, and being the loving people they are, understood why I stayed with Gluskin, but I kept some details out…like the morally questionable parts. But anyways, they are ecstatic to know we have a baby on the way. Trager put his back into getting us a roof on our head, mostly because he is selfish and missed living in a home rather than a cell, but he has a soft spot for me and wants my pregnancy to go well. It was hard for him to watch me go through some morning sickness in the tight cabin as it was really impossible to get any privacy there. He wanted to do some experiments on me to see if they would ease my symptoms, but Eddie said no to that.

Our new bedroom is spacious, with a king size bed with a fancy bed frame against the wall in the middle and a chest at the end of it, a balcony to the left of the bed, a vanity to the right and a walk-in closet. A big carpet covered most of the room. We made ourselves at home very quickly. Trager’s room is half bedroom half office space, which he also got himself some medical supplies, which will come in handy when I need a check up. Arthur’s room is pretty normal, he has a twin size bed covered in pillows. Eddie has also been setting up a nursery, with a crib and all the things a new baby could need. There is also an amazing outdoor pool space with a hot tub, where Arthur and Rick have been spending a lot of time. In the living room is a great comfy couch that faces a 4k TV on the wall above a fireplace. Eddie and I have been spending a lot of time there too.

I laid with him on the couch, both of us stretched out in our PJ’s, me on top of him laying on his chest while his legs spread open comfortably so I could lay there. The TV wasn’t much of an interest to him in the moment, he couldn't stop looking at me. His hands felt around on my breasts on top of my shirt.

“Darling, they feel a little bigger lately.” He said, smiling at me, cupping each one in his palm.

I laugh. “Hehe, yeah, just the pregnancy doing its thing. You like em’?”

“Oh, I love them…” He growls, as he lifts them up and massages them in circles. He digs his face into my neck, kissing it gently. I turn my neck towards him and we kiss. As we watch a movie on the TV, he plays with my golden hair while he isn't busy with my boobs or massaging my small bump, twirling my hair around in his fingers.

He holds me tighter. “There is nowhere else I’d rather be than with you, darling.”

I feel so vulnerable yet so relaxed and loved while being in his arms, against his tall and strong body. We continued to cuddle for the next 20 minutes and then I asked Eddie, “Could you maybe bring me some cookies?”

“Oh of course darling, anything for you, my love.” He kissed my forehead as I let him get up from the couch.

He walks into the kitchen, and as he walks in, so does Trager, in his iconic red sweatshirt and sweatpants.

“Hey buddy!” Trager says, waving at him as he passes Eddie to get to the fridge.

“Richard.” Eddie coldly replies.

Eddie picks out some cookies that were on the counter on a rack from baking them prior and puts them onto a plate. Trager gets a vodka bottle out of the fridge. He reaches near Eddie to get into a cabinet to grab a shot glass.

“Hey buddy, you gettin’ fucked up tonight?” Trager jokes.

“No…unless my wife asks me to, but that would be unfair to her since she isn’t allowed to drink.”

“I’m getting fucked up, buddy. Where the fuck is Arthur?” Trager says, as he pours his cold vodka. Eddie ignores him and grabs two glasses out of the cabinet next to Trager and pours some milk into each to have with the cookies.

“Need any help with that?” Rick says, noticing how he is going to have to carry a plate and two glasses into the living room.

“Fine. Take the plate.” Eddie grunts, mad that in order to get the food and drinks to me quicker he is going to need to have him help. He takes the plate from him, vodka in the other hand, and sniffs some of the treats and they walk in together. Eddie smiles and hands me a glass of milk and sits down next to me. Trager goes to hand me the plate of cookies, but Eddie takes it from him and then he gives it to me, even though it would have been easier for him to just let me take it from the guy, Eddie has his quirks.

“Thank you, baby.” I say to Eddie, as he gets comfy next to me again and wraps a blanket around us.

“Aw, aren’t you two little fuckers so adorable.” Trager says, sitting down holding his vodka in a luxurious recliner chair to the left of the couch, angled slightly towards the TV.

“Do not spill that on my chair.” Eddie says firmly.

“Alright, buddy.” He giggles, and then looks at me, “How is the baby doing?”

“Hungry.” I respond, taking a bite of a cookie.

“I’m sure you are. Look how big you’ve gotten already. Damn, girl. When I first met you, there was nothing there.”

Eddie pulls me onto his lap as I eat some cookies off the plate, and he sensually caresses his hands up and down my slender but rounded belly. The size of it is even more noticeable considering I am a slender person, making the bump stand out more from the rest of my body. I murmur as he rubs his hands on me. Oh jeez, I feel Eddie growing a boner again.

“Soon enough, I can probably try and find out the baby’s gender.” Trager says, taking a sip of his vodka.

“I am hoping for a baby girl…” Eddie says, kissing around on my neck again from behind. I hope for a girl too.

“Oh, there is Arthur, hey buddy.” Says Trager as we watch Arthur walk into the room and sit down on the other side of the couch.

“What are you guys watching?” Asks Arthur.

“Back to the Future 2.” I replied.

“Oh, classic. That one is so good.” He replies. He notices my bump. “Aw, you’re showing now. May I feel the baby?”

I look at Eddie for approval, and he nods. He takes his hands off to allow Arthur to feel. He rubs around on it for a few seconds, feeling how it is a little squishy.

“Oh, I always thought it would feel kinda solid, but it’s squishy.”

I reply, “I know, right! I never knew it would be soft. I was reading books about it with Eddie, apparently it gets firm by the end stages. It is all so fascinating.”

A few seconds after Arthur pulls his hand away, Eddie’s are already back on my belly again.

Eddie chimes in, “You will be hard bellied by the third trimester, maybe sooner, but it is so cute and squishy for now, I love it, darling.”

I blush. His hands holding it already makes me excited.

Arthur puts his hands together with nervousness, “I hope this isn’t like, offensive to ask you, but, you’re only like a month in right? Isn’t it a bit big for a month or is that just how it is? I have seen women three months in with no show at all. Sorry if that is rude.”

Trager busts out a laugh at Arthur’s question.

I giggle too, “It’s okay, Arthur. It is my first time, so I am honestly not sure. Maybe-”

Trager cuts me off, “Twins!!!”

“Twins?!” Eddie says.

“Imagine if it's twins… two baby Gluskin’s gonna be runnin’ around.” Trager says, finishing the vodka and getting up to get some more.

Eddie squeezes his arms around me and whispers, “Oh my goodness, darling…imagine there are two little ones inside you…that would be two times the joy…oh darling…”

Twins would be even better, they wouldn’t be lonely and they would have each other. I eat the last cookie on the plate and sip some milk.

“Full now, darling?” Eddie asks, continuing to rub my tummy.

“Oh yeah.” I lean in towards his ear and whisper, “You can make me more full soon.”

I feel him get even harder underneath me.

“Of course, darling…I would love to.”

All of us watch the movie and eventually go to bed, meanwhile Trager is passed out in the recliner.

I open the bedroom door and watch Eddie follow.
