My baby daddy (baby daddy series #1) {COMPLETED}

CHAPTER TWENTY | THE APARTMENT

Wendy POV

The meeting with Jake had shaken me. However, I did not show it to him or the others. Weakness was nothing outwardly shown, it would work its way through in silence. At least if you follow my parents life rules. According to them, all other people were enemies, no one could be trusted. Not even the family, apparently. Obviously, blood is not always thicker than water after all. I had stayed in the hospital for a week to make sure the wound healed properly. The doctors had finally given me the green light to go home, but my boys had to stay a few more weeks. Their values were stable and there was no longer a threatened situation. Nevertheless, I could not exhale yet, probably I would not be able to do so until my children accompanied me to our new home that I myself have not yet seen. Jake had asked for a DNA test and I had allowed it, I already knew of the outcome. He was not the father, no questions asked. Any day now, he would get the answers. I was wondering if he was going to hurt me this...

Adrian was waiting for me with my bag in his hand, it felt wrong to go home without them but I knew it was the best thing right now. He smiled when he saw me.

"Hello baby momma, ready to go home?"

"As ready as I ever will be, I guess." I answered with a sigh. He wrapped his free arm around my shoulders and walked me out of the hospital.

"They are in good hands."

"Yeah, I know."

He opened the car and I climbed inside the passanger seat. My bag was thrown in the backseat and he started the car. Thankfully, my apartment wasn't located far away from the hospital. Which meant that I could visit my boys without any problems, unless I was going to do it after work, then it would be a longer drive. The traffic was slow but it didn't bother me. I felt anxious about leaving the hospital. Not because of the pain, because I felt exactly like my mother. Leaving my children behind like that. I sighed and looked out the window. Adrian glanced at me.

"You are not your mother, Wendy." he said without looking at me. "I can feel your distress about this and trust me, I understand it. But you have to relax a little bit. Nothing is going to be better just because you are stressing out about it."

"I know, it's just... Hard."

He nodded his head and put a hand over my arm. Of course he was right. No one could care for them better than the doctors that had the knowledge about this specific subject. 

Adrian helped me out of the car and held my arm when we walked to the entrence. I pushed the button in the elevator and felt how we started moving upwards. I sighed again and looked at the numbers that indicated which floor we passed. We walked out of the elevator and I unlocked my front door. I took a deep breath before walking into my home for the first time. I gasped when I had taken my shoes off. The whole apartment was furnished and looked incredible. My mouth was wide open while I looked around. Until my eyes landed on the couch. Damien and Jaxon was sitting there with big smiles on their faces.

"Welcome home, Wendy." Jaxon said and ran up to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him back with tears in my eyes. 

"Have you done all of this?" I asked when we broke apart from the hug. He shaked his head 'no'.

"Actually, it was Damien who did this."

I turned to him and he looked embarrassed about it. My heart clenched at the thought of him picking all of these items and put them in the right places. He made my home exactly as I had planned it and that thought alone made tear up. I sniffed and he immediately walked up to me. I sobbed into his broad shoulder and he caressed my hair with the most amazing touch. My eyes closed and I allowed myself to inhale his familiar scent which brought me inner peace everytime I did that. I laughed at my sillyness and backed away.

"Thank you." I said with a smile. His hand wiped away all the tears that continued to fall. He gazed at me with such tenderness that I almost broke down all over again.

"You're welcome. Now, would the beautiful lady like to see her new home?" he asked and bowed dramatically which made me laugh.

"She certainly would, kind sir." I answered giggling. I looped my arm through his and followed him from room to room. The kitchen was big and just like Damien's home, it held every thinkable kitchen supply. The marble kitchen counter was what made me gasp though, it truly was beautiful. The living room was painted in a light blue color and the dark couch made it even brighter. Massive windows gave me a wonderful view around the city. The kids rooms were colored in dark blue, green and yellow. I had two big bathrooms, one for everyone to use and one who belonged to the master bedroom. And let me tell you, that bedroom was massive! The biggest bed I've ever seen with white bedspread and light pink pillows. Everything he had done brought me to tears all over again. He chuckled at me and hugged me close, he even kissed me on the top of my head. Jaxon and Adrian gave me knowing looks mixed with smirks. Those selfgood bastards I thought to myself.

"Now, who's ready for champagne!" Adrian screamed, it was more of a demand than a question. We followed him out of the bedroom and sat down at the couch. He filled our glasses and stood up to make a speach.

"Wendy, I just wanted to welcome you home and congratulate you to being a mother of three. You deserve this more than anyone else! You have worked hard for this and you have earned this. Thank yo for allowing me to be part of this. I love you b***h!"

I laughed at him and we were just about to take a sip when my phone rang in the kitchen. I stood up to walk out there and answer.

"You guys continue, I'll be right there."

They nodded and I walked out. 'Hospital' showed at the display.

"Wendy."

"Hello, is this Ms.Colton?"

"Yes, this is she."

"Ms.Colton, you need to get here as fast as possible!"

"Why? What happened?"

"The blonde man that was here earlier is here again, screaming and demanding to get inside that room. We have called the police. Since you told us not to allow anyone in there..."

"Say no more, I'm on my way!"

I hang up the phone and rushed to the door. Ignoring the others inside and ran down the stairs faster than I've ever been running before. I didn't even drive there. I ran like the wind with only one thought inside my head. 'He have gotten the results of the tests and now he is either going to take them away from me or hurt them'. My wound on my stomach hurt like hell but I didn't care in that moment. I was about to get hit by a car a couple of times because I didn't stop. When I reached the hospital I slammed the doors open, running through the halls until I reached the right department. Jake was standing at the reception disk, screaming at the nurse to open the door. I glanced through the window and saw a doctor inside, taking care of my boys. At least they were okay. I walked up to him with brisk steps.

"What the f**k are you doing here?!" I hissed through gritted teeth. He turned towards me and looked murderous. 

"You f*****g w***e! You should not open your mouth or even be here right now. I'm the daddy to those babies and I'm about to take them with me!"

"Yeah, I don't really believe that."

He showed the piece of paper in my face and it was super obvious that he had tried to change the result with a black marker. That made me laugh out loud. Not because it was funny for real, but because he had done such a terrible job doing it. 

"Oh Jake, no. Come on, who will believe this? A kindergarten child could do this better."

"You f*****g b***h!"

He gripped my hair and tried to kiss me. I spit him in the face with rage. My elbow connected with his nose, which made him release me from his grip. His hands immediately moved towards his nose. Once more he grabbed my, but by the throat this time. I clawed at his hands and in return, he smacked me head down the reception disk. A throbbing headache began to spread and I could feel something wet travel down my forehead. I had no idea what was happening until I heard the nurse scream to someone.

"Help! He's killing her!"

I could barely hold my head up now. He gripped my face and forced his mouth on mine. I bit down on his lower lip.

"Why do you have to be so goddamn difficult, slut? You're mine! You will always be owned by me and I will take those f*****g kids away from you!"

That made the rage inside me bubble and my elbow connected to him again, but at his ribs this time. I was furious! How dare he speak to me about taking my boys away from me?! Did this f*****g bastard have a deathwish? He fell down on the floor and I managed to kick his back. Unfortunately, he grabbed my leg at the same time and I fell back against the floor. He was sitting over me, holding his hands around my throat. I thought I was going to die, until two strong hands threw him away from me. I gasped for air and coughed. 

"You f*****g peace of s**t! Touching a woman, huh?"

It was Damien's voice and he sounded furious. I couldn't move at all, my whole body hurt. I heard struggles until it went silent. Damien's face came into my view. Along with Jaxon's and Adrian's. They all looked worried.

"Wendy, can you hear me?"

I coughed and felt the blood trickle out of my mouth. They helped me up in a sitting position and I swear to god, this was the worst pain I've ever been in. I grunted from the pain but breathed heavily when I managed to sit up by myself.

"Love, what happened?" Damien asked me.

Tears welled up in my eyes and I let them fall when I looked into his eyes.

"He was going to take them away from me."

"Oh honey, no. That's never going to happen. I will protect you, we all will."

I sobbed into his shoulder when the police officers ran into the hall. One look at me and down at Jake made them understand what had happened. They put Jake's unconcious body in handcuffs and brought him out of there. They said that they needed to take my statement. Thankfully, my three bodyguards refused to let them talk to me. But I knew that I couldn't escape this.

"It's fine, let's get this over with." I said and rised from the floor with a scream. f**k this hurt! "What do you want to know?"

"Can you tell me what happened?"

I told them everything that happened. About him being the abusive bastard he's always been. How he reacted to my children being born to early, the DNA result and now this.

"Do you have any idea why he did something like this now, out of the blue?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

I breathed in, it was time to tell.

"Because I'm Wendy Colton. He's the infamous rapist that tortured me a couple of months ago. A crime that rocked the whole nation."
