“Who are you having for a birthing partner Ava?” she was really pissing
me off now. I caught Liv and Leah’s lip curl at her “Courtney of course” I
sighed. “I’m just hoping I don’t break Mason’s fingers when I squeeze his hand
during a contraction” she laughed falsely and my chest heaved “I thought you
were having a pre-elected C-section Rebecca?” I mocked “I don’t think you will
have to put up with much pain…only your own voice and Mason pouty face” I
smirked and everybody else laughed. God
bless them. “Excuse me, my babies are hungry again” I smiled sickly at her
and left the table.
    I turned towards the buffet table and saw Mason watching
me “You okay?” he mouthed with an apologetic look. I rolled my eyes at him but
smiled. It was hardly his fault his ‘girlfriend’, and I use the term loosely,
was an utter bitch.

 
    Perusing the table and nibbling bits and pieces and
wondering if I should make a run for it, a warm familiar breath whispered on my
neck “Hello sweetheart” I froze and my breath stuck in my lungs and my heart
jumped for joy.
    I spun round and was greeted to Kades wonderful smile. I
couldn’t help it; I beamed at the sight of him. He laughed heartily and pulled
me into his arms “Well that smile made my plane journey worth every fucking
second” he whispered into my ear.
    Holding me at arm’s length he scanned me up and down.
“Wow, look at that tum” he winked and placed his hand over my stomach “I’m
pleased for you Ava, really” he smiled genuinely and I pulled him into another
hug “I missed you” I said softly and I had. Not like the agonised misery with
which I missed Mason with but I had missed him; his friendship, his laugh, his
smile and right now, his touch. As though he could read my mind his hand skimmed
over my backside “Missed my hands sweetheart?” he rasped and I could feel his
erection growing.
    “DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE!!” I heard Nate shout and we
turned to see Mason stalking towards us “Fuck!” I growled and pulled Kade
behind me “Listen to Nate, Mason. You lay one finger on him and you will never
see me again!” I warned and Rebecca snorted “Well I don’t think that will be a
problem” she crossed her arms in a huff “Shut the fuck up Rebecca” Mason barked
and took a step closer to us.
    Kade was trying to move around me but I held him back
“Ava sweetheart, it’s fine. Let’s get this over and done with” he said but I
could see the haze cloud Mason’s eyes, the sure sign that the white rage was
taking over. Mason was nasty and malevolent when his fury took over, he showed
absolutely no mercy and would fight to the death and there was no way I was
letting him anywhere Kade “Stay where you are” I hissed at Kade.
    Mason’s chest was heaving and he was literally snarling
“Listen to me Mason” I said sternly but his eyes were near black now “LISTEN TO
ME!” I screamed at him and his eyes flicked to mine and I knew I had a little
part of his attention “You do not ever touch him if you want to see your children” I said slowly but determinedly and
Mason narrowed his eyes on me but I also saw his pain at seeing me stood with
Kade. I caught Sam and Nate stood ready for him and I gave them a quick glance.
Sam nodded at me “Sam is going to take you and Rebecca home and I will call you
tomorrow” I told him softly and he bit his bottom lip.
    Rebecca strolled up to the side of him and rested her
hand on his forearm “Mason? Why are being like this over that skank?” she spat
and he snapped his head round to her with speed and hatred and she cowered at
the malicious coldness in his eyes “Don’t. EVER. Fucking. Call. Her. That. Again” he snarled and she took a step back. My heart swelled at his
protectiveness and I took a step closer to him and cupped his cheek “Kade and I
are just friends Mason. That is all” his eyes softened and he leant into my
palm and I reached up and kissed his cheek “I
