My Fiancé's Brother: Part 2

by Odette Stone

He was my lifeline. My protector. The person I loved. The father of my child. I didn’t want to let go of him.

“You have my baby in your belly, and you were going to marry Matt?”

“I’m getting the feeling we aren’t on the same page.” “I’m not even sure I’m reading the same book.”

"The Secretary of the Army has asked me to inform you that your husband has been reported missing in action in Afghanistan since yesterday. The Casualty Area Command has reported that his helicopter was shot down over a jungle.

“We would like to inform you that your husband has been found alive.”

“Every fucking step he took, MacDog repeated ‘Emily Alien Emily Alien’. Over and over. Step by step.”

You have to forgive me. I can’t live without you.”

I have been crazy about you since the day you almost beaned me with that golf club.”

You and your love scare the shit out of me. I didn’t know how to do this. And I’m so bad at it. I want your love so bad. I want you in my life more than I have ever wanted anything.”

“All I know is that I would die for you. I would kill for you. I would do everything in my power to protect you. Your happiness, your safety, your joy is all I care about. I don’t understand all of this, but you have somehow become the one thing I live for. You and Alien. I never used to feel anything, and now, all I do is fucking feel things. I lose control. I get upset. Anything to do with you, I can’t seem to control my emotions.”

“I love you, Emily Hunter.”
