“You’re going to be fine. You are not allowed to leave me Christina Moore. I will punish you.” He said with tears in his eyes. He kissed her lips. Taking off his jacket he covered her with it. The panic was settling in. What the fuck was he supposed to do. He wasn’t a doctor.
“Love, I don’t know what to do?” he asked.
“Just catch. Don’t let them fall.” She said screaming. Matt eyes were wide as he saw the head coming. It was covered in hair.
“Okay baby, you’re doing well.” He said as she gave another push and the baby shoulders and the rest of the body came out of the canal. Matt grabbed the baby. It screamed and cried. He cried along with the baby. His son came first. Unbuttoning his shirt he wrapped the baby up in the shirt. It was still attached to the umbilical cord. He unlaced his shoes, wrapping the shoe string around the cord he pulled until he served the baby from the umbilical cord. His hands were bloody but he didn’t care. Matt stripped his pants off next. He was desperate. He needed something else to wrap the second baby in and to clean them with. The blood was already drying up on their skin. They needed an ambulance. Christina cried out again and Matt realized the second baby was coming. He got on his knees and waited with his hands open.

“Do you think they’ll be okay?” Collum asked Charles.
“Yea, EMT should be arriving shortly. Christina was stabbed and she’s going to need emergency medical attention as soon as possible.”
“What about the man that kidnap her? Shouldn’t we detain him, and let Matt handled it?”
“I don’t know son. Matt is a monster.” Charlie said. He recalled the dark look in Matt’s eyes when the boy told him he would kill him. Charlie didn’t have a doubt. Charlie believed in taking lives when necessary, but he knew Matt relished in his enemy’s pain. It was unnatural. He was glad the man met Christina when he did or he would probably had to put the boy down.
“Got him!” Raven shouted from the front. Charles pulled out the semi-automatic rifle and shot the tires out. All three men surround the man.
“Do you know who I am?” Lexington shouted on his knees trying to crawl away.
“We do. But guess what? We don’t give a fuck.” Collum said hitting the man with the semi-automatic weapon.
“I’ll take him into custody. I’m quite sure the feds have been looking for this guy for quite a while.”
“Good, let’s hope that Christina makes it through this,” he said.

Matt stood only in his boxers with the twins wrapped up in his clothing. He planted a kiss on Christina’s head and told her to hold on. He tried his best using socks to clean the babies off but they needed medical attention. He could hear the sirens in the distance. Running back up to the road, he jumped, and screamed. When the medical personnel pulled over the curb he directed them to where Christina was located.
They shouted questions at him and he answered to the best of his ability. The EMTS were shocked to see Billionaire Matt Dallas clad in nothing but his briefs. When they found the reason why, they gasped. They needed to know how long the babies had been exposed to the elements and they checked the severity of the mother’s wound. They checked her vitals, before rushing her into the vehicle. It was when the FBI and Interpol came swarming around them that they faltered in their steps. They wondered what the hell was going.
“We have a medical facility a couple of miles up the road that you will treat this family at. I’m sure you understand the use of discretion in this case.”
“Of course.” They medical personnel said in unison. They weren’t stupid by a long shot. Matt rushed passed the director towards the ambulance.
“Dallas!”
“Davis.”
“If you ever need me give me a call,” the FBI director said giving Matt his card. Matt looked at the man with dead eyes as he smiled at him.
“I like you Dallas.” He said before whistling and walking away from him.

Eight hours later, Matt was at his wits end. He been kept out in a waiting room. He bullied the hospital staff and threw his power and wealth around. He didn’t care, he needed information. He wanted to know how Christina and the children were doing.
Charles and Collum walked in on a scene of Matt man handling the staff. Charles wacked him over the head and told him to sit down.
“I apologize for his behavior. He’s had a tough day,” he told the grumbling male nurse as he walked away.
“Control yourself boy,” Charles thundered at him. Matt slumped in his seat like a two year old. They all stood as doctor came out of the operating room.
“Which one of you have been bullying my staff?” he asked with irritation in his voice. Matt drew himself to his full height of six feet and five inches and stared down at the man. He wanted to pummel the man but the fear kept him still and it reflected in his eyes.
“She going to be fine. The blood transfusion went well. I have checked with the neonatal unit and the babies are doing well. In fact you’ll be able to take them home in a week. Without realizing it, Matt enveloped the man in a hug and cried on his shoulder. They were going to be fine. His family was going to be okay.
Christina’s eyes shone with pride as Matt handled both babies like a pro. She was excited to finally be going home. She wanted to put the whole terrible ordeal behind her. Charlie and Martha were there and she was ecstatic to introduce them to Elizabeth and Tom—Matt’s parents as her very own. Martha rushed toward her and cried. Charles and Martha moved into the guess house in the new home they purchased so that they could be closer to her. Sarah was there cooing over the babies and gloating telling everyone that she was the best aunt—although she was the only one. Tom and Matt talked laughing together. She finally had a family and she couldn’t be any happier.
“Christina, I really want to thank you. I finally got my family back. There’s no greater feeling than seeing them happy, and you made that possible.” Elizabeth Dallas said kissing her on the forehead.
“No problem Beth. I’m just happy to be part of a great one.” She said smiling. She giggled at Collum’s attempts to catch Sarah’s attention. She wondered what would happen if those two hook up. She could see an impish plan forming in her mind. It was time to get the work.
“So when’s the wedding?” Sarah asked coyly. Christina gasped as everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at her. Groaning she slid back under the covers when Martha and Elizabeth both squealed and began making plans. She was going to kill Sarah.
Payback was a bitch.
Epilogue
Matt watched the twins as they slept. Christina was in the home office working. She handled all of his company finances from home and would go into the office for meetings. He was glad that it turned out that way. Charles had retired and who couldn’t blame him. He and Martha were a permanent fixture around the house.
Catelyn Marybeth Dallas and Liam Matthew Dallas were some beautiful names. Matt stilled remembered his mother’s tears along with Martha’s. There was something else that he recalled from the nightmarish and hellish day. It was he phone that he pocketed. He turned it in to Charlie who was hoping to get some data from it. He didn’t tell the Feds about the device. Matt wanted to handle this himself. Charles was a smart man. He made sure never to reveal the location of the man who kidnapped Christina and for good reason. However, Charles wasn’t the only one with secrets.
Under the guise of heading into the office. He called Davis.
“I need a favor.”
“Done.” Davis smiled hanging up the phone. He knew the man would come. After all it was the look in his eyes that made him very interesting. He could arrange for some equipment malfunctions.
It was then Matt found the man he’d been looking for on the side of the road wrapped up for him. He smiled. Tonight was a great night for chaos. When the man opened his eyes, Matt smiled at the fear that was evident in his eyes.
“Hello, Mr. Lexington. Let’s play a
game.” He said gutting the man and pulling out his intestines. He’s a monster Lexington thought as Matt smiled and the light left his eyes. After he pulled out the man’s innards, he placed them in a jar. Then he meticulous cleaned the evidence up. He picked up the phone and made a call. It was to Davis.
“I couldn’t help myself. I need a cleanup.”
“Is he dead?”
“Positive.”
“Have you killed any others?”
“Negative.”
“Do you have intentions to kill any others?”
“Only if they bother me.”
“Very good. This is the last time.”
Matt hung up the phone and left the place. He had a family to get back to and a wedding to prepare for.
