Lydia's P.O.V.

"Brazen! Arlo! Allie!" I yelled for help, Flynn turned around, "Did you get a proper pulse?"

Flynn shook his head, he groaned standing up, "Don't leave them!" I exclaim, "Flynn, I am fine." Flynn limped his way over to me, grabbing my arm he lifted me up gently but I couldn't feel my left leg, "Flynn,"

"Sh." He hushed me walking us back over, he sat me down in front of them, "Fuck, my back." I took a good look at him, his chest was burnt, and so was his bullet wound, "I will go get help," He said weakly, "Stay here with them, you'll know what to do. Hunter and Vallie have a light pulse, I will go see-"

"Flynn!" I hear Brazen call, "Flynn!" He began coughing most likely from all the smoke in the air. 

"Here!" Flynn called, "Come quick,"

Brazen came running in his eyes filled with fear, "Holy fuck man, where are the kids?"

"Here," I said weakly, "Please Zenny we need  to get to a hospital," Brazen ran over to us as Allie and Cassie came running in, they grabbed onto Flynn who was falling weak, Brazen grabbed both of the kids gently, "They have a pulse, a very faint one."

"Shit, they have lost so much blood." He whispered, "I am going to take them to the infirmary, we don't have time to take them to the hospital."

Flynn's eyes rolled back, "Flynn!" Allie gasped, "Flynn stay awake."

Cassie looked over at me, "Holy fuck, Dia, your leg and arm are completely burnt." I inhaled sharply, I had been suppressing the pain for the longest time, not wanting to fall weak in front of Flynn but it was burning, the pain was spreading like wildfire through my body. 

"Flynn!" Arlo yelled, running in his eyes scanned the area, "Holy fuck..." He whispered, 

Flynn looked over at him, "Did you get him?"

Arlo walked over to me gently lifting me up as well giving me enough support to stand against him, "Red-handed, he was opening Amora, Luke, and the FBI Agent's cell...Harlow and I fucked him up, and all of them are in the cemented cage...knocked out."

"Who?" I asked, "Who was trying to help them escape?"

"Drake." Flynn said, "The man who killed my mother, and then one who planted the bomb here..."

Hissing in pain I say, "The kids, I want to go to our kids."

Arlo looked down at me, "Alpha, I need to carry her."

Flynn sighed, "Take her, Vallie, Hunter, and Luna need treatment first." Arlo leaned down effortlessly picking me up. 

"No, wait," I say quickly, "Flynn?"

"Don't worry about me, go...I gotta deal with some stuff before."

"No Flynn," I say firmly, "The kids, they are our kids...they might need more blood and they both have your blood type, Flynn. AB positive is the rarest blood type and you know that. Right now we need you and you are not going to leave."

Flynn nodded, "Let's go."

. . . 

"Your leg will be okay in a couple of weeks Dia," Flora said quietly, but my gaze was stuck on Flynn who was being attended by another doctor, "Flynn will be fine, he's gone through worse."

"What is the need for all of this Flora?" I whispered, "Why so much violence and greed?"

"It's in their blood." Flora said giving me a sad smile, "It runs through their veins, Flynn has good in him, he knows mercy but there are people like Drake Allen, who hate the world. They crave power...and Amora has that blood running through her veins, that's why becoming the Luna has become an obsession for her since you left."

"I thought I lost everything," I said, "Seeing Hunter and Vallie laying there lifeless, but Flynn...his whole back was burnt and bruised he still made it to us. He risked his life for us."

"Believe it or not Dia, he loves you." Flora licked her lips, "I understand there is still a doubt in your heart-"

"Not anymore," I cut her off, "All the doubt...everything is gone."

Flora nodded, "It's good to hear, my son has some issues, and he is rough around the edges, but when he loves someone, nothing is more important than them...Lydia, you taught him the real meaning of love, and you gave him the two most precious gifts...all Zayn and I have ever wanted is to see him happy with his family...welcome him back."

I offer her a small smile, "How are Hunter and Vallie?"

"Dr. Jazz has put them both under anesthesia, the bomb shard went deep in Hunter's chest, and Vallie...she has some broken ribs..." I gasped, "But they both are fighters, just like Flynn and you...it took a while to get their heart rate up but it worked...after surgery, they will be perfectly fine."

Breathing out heavily I asked her to roll my bed towards Flynn, which she gladly did, "Hey," I whispered grabbing his hand but Flynn brushed it off. Furrowing my eyebrows I tried to look into his eyes but he kept his gaze down. "Flynn?"

"I think Hunter, Vallie and you should go back to Arizona." He said bluntly, "It's,...I am not- It's safer to be away from me than be with me, Lydia. You were right, the kids are better off not knowing about me at all...and you should move on too."

"Flynn look at me," I say firmly, "Flynn look at me."

"Leave Lydia." Flynn snapped,

"I am not going anywhere." I snapped back, I grabbed his chin gently so our gaze met, "I am not going anywhere and I am not going to let you push me away...or the kids. What happened was not your fault Flynn, if you had known that there was a bomb in the kitchen you would have kept us away, if you had known Drake was setting us up, you would have sent us away...sure I was scared when I saw our kids like that but you came in and helped us. You came in and thought quick on your feet."

"None of this would have happened if I kept you with me four years ago! We would be fine, Amora would have been gone, we-"

"Fuck the past Flynn," I cut him off, "Yeah I was mad and hurt but what you did today...it made up for everything...everything Flynn. The kids are not going anywhere, I am NOT going anywhere..." Tears fell from his eyes, "Flora has just told me that our kids are in surgery, and they are damn strong...just like us."

Flynn scooted foreward pulling me in a tight hug, "I love you, Luna,"

Hugging him back I relax in his arms, "I love you too." His body stilled, and Flynn pulled back smiling, "What?" I ask,

"What did you say?"

"I love you." I repeat, "I never stopped."

Chuckling emotionally he pulled me in kissing me passionately, "I love you so much." He whispered back, "Fuck..." He dragged out almost as if he didn't believe I was in his arms "Thank you, Luna."

"I hate to ruin this amazing heart-touching moment, but Dia the kids are out of surgery." Cassie giggled, pulling back from the hug I looked over at her, "I brought a wheelchair," 

"Shut up," I mumble, Cassie, shook her head helping me on the chair, "I'll see you later?"

Flynn nodded, "I have to go do something really important, I'll meet you in a bit."

I knew what he had to do, and I knew I should have stopped him...but after what that monster did to our kids...Drake Allen deserved it.
