Chapter 21
I frowned sadly as I watched Lily.
"I think there's something wrong with Lily!" I shouted.
I heard Frank drop and break something as he came running it.
"What is it? What's wrong with her? Do we need to take her to the hospital? Is she okay?" Frank asked.
"N-no, I just think she might need glasses," I said. "She can't focus on objects and she keeps rubbing her eyes."
Frank looked at me before relaxing against the wall.
"Jesus Christ, I thought she wasn't breathing or something worse," Frank muttered. "Alright, do we take her to get glasses?"
"She might be too little," I said. "But maybe not, she's seven months in age but you know she's a runt and she's about two months behind. We can take her to the doctors to have her eyes tested and we can take the other babies too."
Frank nodded, leaning over to kiss my forehead.
"Are you leaving soon?" I asked sadly.
"Yeah," he said.
It's been great that Frank has been working from home a lot more now but he has to go in for a meeting today and I hated seeing him leave.
"If you're good I'll bring home a little treat, a treat for all five of you," he said.
I smiled and nodded before he went upstairs to finish getting ready. Soon enough he was all ready to go with his suit and briefcase.
"Are you gonna be fine here alone or do you want me to call Jamia?" He asked.
"I think I'll be fine, Daddy," I said. "But can I maybe invite her over later just to play?"
"Of course you can," Frank said. "I'll see you when I get home, I love you."
Frank gave me a kiss and I smiled as he went to give all the babies kisses too before he left. I looked at Lily, biting my lip softly. She would probably need glasses and soon most likely.
"You're gonna look so cute with your glasses," I cooed.
I kissed the top of her head before I stood up. I went over and picked Miles up.
"Do you need your diaper changed?" I asked.
I smiled softly and changed his diaper before I left him to go play. The doorbell rang and I frowned softly as I opened it up and saw Andy.
"Andy, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm here to warn you," he said.
"No you aren't, you're just lying because you still love me and you want to get me back," I said.
"No im not," he denied. "I'm telling you this because I do love you."
I shook my head, going to close the door but he stopped it.
"He's after you again," Andy said.
"Who's after me?" I asked.
"Pete, he's out of prison," Andy said. "And he's pissed, he wants to finish what he started. He wants to take the babies and sell them to other scientists and continue experimenting on You. He's been watching you."
"You've been watching me too?" I asked.
"I love you," he whispered.
"You've been stalking me and my kids for three years?!" I shouted.
"I had to make sure you were okay," he whispered.
"You don't have any right to stalk me and then make up all these lies," I said. "They wouldn't let pete out of prison, he tortured me."
"Gee, come on, you and the kids can come back and stay at my house," he said.
"No," I denied.
"Please, Gee," he begged.
Andy pushed passed me and I gasped as he went over and picked up Cherry. Cherry looked at him and immediately started screaming as she reached for me.
"Don't touch my babies!" I shouted, taking my child back.
Cherry stopped crying, clutching onto my shirt.
"You can't be in here, I'm gonna call Frank and he isn't gonna be happy with you," I said.
"Please, Gee, just listen to me," he said.
"Why should I?" I asked.
"Because I love you, I gave you up so you can be happy and I'm going to continue to let you be happy but you can't if you're here where Pete can get you," he said.
"It's been three years, Andy, y-you can't still love me," I said.
"I do, I love you so much," Andy said.
I shook my head, looking up at him.
"I love Frank, he's my husband," I whispered.
"I know and it hurts me everyday," he said.
I shook my head, setting Cherry back down onto the ground.
"Frank isn't gonna be happy that you're here, you should leave," I said.
"I can't, not until I know that you're safe," Andy said. "They will cut your babies up to pieces to discover more about nekos."
"No, d-don't say that," I whimpered, covering my ears.
"I'm just telling the truth so that way maybe you'll listen to me," he said.
I sniffled, shaking my head. I heard a twig snap outside where the sun was quickly setting and I whimpered.
"I'm gonna call Daddy," I said.
I grabbed my phone and quickly called him. Of course it went straight to voicemail because his phone was turned off while in the meeting.
"Stop it, you're scaring me," I said.
"You should be scared," he said.
Andy took a stop closed but I shook my head, taking a step back.
"D-don't touch me," I whimpered. "Get out."
"I can't leave, not until I know you're safe," he said.
I shook my head, grabbing my kids before I went upstairs to the nursery. I set them down, locking the door quickly. Frank's phone went to voicemail again as Andy pounded on the door. Miles started crying and I picked him up, holding him to my chest as I bounced him.
"Gee, come on, we need to go," Andy said.
I let out a cry of relief when Frank called me.
"Hey, Baby, What's-"
"Daddy, Andy's here and he won't leave and I locked myself in the nursery with the babies and he's scaring me," I said.
"Alright, I'm on my way home just don't open the door," Frank said. "Where is he right now?"
"Outside the nursery in the hallway," I said.
"Okay, just don't move, I'll be home soon," Frank said.
I nodded, sniffling as I stayed on the phone, hugging Miles to my chest.
"I'm pulling up the driveway now," Frank whispered over the phone. "I have to go now, be quiet."
I hung up, gently giving Miles a kiss. I couldn't hear much but soon there were footsteps coming upstairs.
"Get out of my fucking house," Frank said.
"Hey, man, put that down," Andy said.
"Get the fuck out," Frank said.
I heard footsteps run down the stairs before the front door opened and closed.
"Hey, Baby, open the door," Frank said, knocking softly.
I went over and quickly opened the door. He wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his shoulder.
"Daddy, h-he wouldn't leave and he was so scary," I whimpered.
"I know, Kitten, I'm so sorry," he whispered.
I sniffled, laying my head on his shoulder. Frank kissed Miles' head and ran his fingers through my hair.
"I love you," I whispered.
Frank gave me a kiss and I felt myself relax.
"Come here, buddy," Frank said, taking Miles from my arms.
I wiped my eyes, picking up Lily.
"Come on, let's go downstairs and watch some cartoons," Frank said.
I nodded and picked up Cherry while Frank got Bandit. We set them onto the rug and we sat on the couch.
"What did he want?" Frank asked.
"He kept saying that Pete was out of prison and he was going to steal the babies and sell them then continue experimenting on me," I said.
"Pete's still in jail, he's lying," Frank said.
"I know, that's what I told him but he told me that he loved me and wanted me safe and wanted me to take the babies and go to his house with him," I said.
"Don't listen to him," Frank said. "He's just trying to take you again and now he's going to take the babies too because he wants to be with you."
"Daddy, what did he tell you to put down when you got upstairs?" I asked.
Frank sighed quietly. "When you went missing and you were first kidnapped I bought a gun. I've never used it and I've kept it locked in a drawer in my desk in my office."
"Y-You kept a gun in the house with the babies?" I whimpered.
Frank pulled a small pistol out from the back waistband of his pants. I whimpered as I glanced down at it nervously.
"Daddy, I-I don't like guns," I whimpered. "Can't you get rid of that?"
"I'm sorry, Baby, but right now I want to keep it with Andy always hanging around," Frank said. "I don't want to shoot him, I'm hoping that I never have to shoot the gun at all but I just want to keep it to scare him away and if I absolutely have to then I will use it. Hopefully not to shoot to kill or anything but...I just can't let him take you or my kids."
"Fine but you have to keep it locked up at all times and away from the babies," I said.
Frank nodded and got up to go lock the gun away again. He checked to make sure all the doors and windows were locked before he closed the curtains and sat beside me.
"I'm going to keep you safe this time and I won't let anyone lay a single finger on one of my kids," he said.
I nodded my head, sniffling as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder. I laid down and rested my head on his lap while he gently pet my ears. I felt the purr rise up from my chest as I closed my eyes and soon enough I had fallen asleep.
