His Baby Mama

CAMILA’S POV

“Come on mom!” Ethan shouted and I quickly started working faster to finishing building my lego house.

It’s been one week now since I received a threat from my ex best friend and have also told Damon the truth and right now I’m very stressed and scared. Even though I don’t show it in my face, Im very scared of Ethan’s safety. I just hope Damon get her as soon a possible. And speaking of Damon, he’s been here beside me since day one and I couldn’t me more thankful. He had assigned body guards around the house for our safety and haven’t left the house once to go to work, even though I forced him to. He said that he isn’t going anywhere until we’re safe and that made me smile and felt better. And now I know how good it feels to have someone with you while going through a situation in life. I’ve never had someone there with me or to comfort me when Ethan was stolen from me but now I know what it feels like. And God, I’m so damn thankful for having Damon by my side. I really don’t know how I’d be without him in. He’s just been so loving and caring towards Ethan and I and gives me assurance that Ethan and I, are safe.

So yeah, I’m thankful and grateful for him and just hope that they catch Anita as soon as possible.

“And ..” Ethan began and I was snapped out of my thoughts. My eyes went to him who was placing the final lego blocks on top of another one to complete the house we were building.

“Were done!” He completed and I smiled, looking at the house that both of us worked together to make. I looked down at Ethan, about to say something when A voice interrupted me.

“Dinner is ready guys!” Damon shouted right after we were done with making the lego house and I helped Ethan up before we both made our way to the kitchen. Today Damon decided to let me relax and rest, since I was still a litle stressed. He said he’ll prepare lunch today and I thanked him one hundred times.

“Why don’t you guys have a seat” He spoke as soon as we entered the dinning room and I was met with a shirtless Damon. He walked over to the table, with a few dishes in his hands and I helped him place them on the table while Ethan took a seat.

After I was done helping him with placing the dishes on the table, Damon kissed my cheek before circling his arms around my waist and guided me to one of the seats where I sat down, followed by Damon and we said grace before we began to eat. The place dropped in dead silence after that but that silence was gone when Damon’s phone rang. A frown was on his face as he picked up his phone but his eyes widen after he looked at the screen. Getting up with his phone, he mouthed I’ll be right back before he left the dining room. I sat there now confused of who could be calling Damon right now but continued eating after I just pushed that though away but for some reason, I was a thinking about who is calling Damon.

Sighing, I bit my lips and went back to eating with Ethan and was also feeling a little impatient cause Damon wasn’t back for his call as yet. And just as when I was about to get up and go see where he was, he came rushing into the kitchen. He looked angry at first but his expression changed when his eyes met mine and he began to make his way over to me.

“Is everything okay?” I asked, with a frown. I was confused of why he was this way and really wanted to know who was the person calling him.

“Yes, everything is okay” he replied and Inodded my head but I couldn’t help but asked then question I was dying to ask since he left the table.

“Who called you?” And my question made him clench his jaw again but he didn’t Open his mouth once to say something so I repeated my question and this time he sigh, opening his mouth to talk but closed it back before any sound came out. It’s like he was hesitating to rely to my question and I wasn’t happy that he was.

“Damon… please, please tell me.” I begged. I wanted to know if you we were in danger or if everything was okay. I didn’t want anything to happen to him nor any of us so I had to beg him and that seemed to do the trick. He sigh, running a finger through his hair as he quickly take a peak at Ethan, who was still engulf with eating his food, then back to me and let out another breath before finally opening his mouth to speak.

“The investigators were the one who called me. They they said that they have someone at the station who looks like like your ex best friend and want me to come down to the station to see if I recognize her” he hesitantly replied and my eyes widen albeit right away.

“Then let’s go” I said about to grab my stuff cause I was so eager to see her and even happy that they might when caught her. I wanted everything to end right now but Damon grabbed my arm, before I could’ve even move.

“No Camila, you’re not coming with me” he said looking into my eyes and I furrow my brows at him. confused.

“I’m not going? What do you mean by that?”

“Camila” he sigh before continuing. “It’s better if you stay home cause it’s safer here. The body guards will be home with you and Ethan and-”

“No, I want to come. I have to! I have to see her for myself to know that it’s her and that she put away for good. To know that we’re safe after that.. I have to see her Damon”I cut him off with a pleading tone which caused him to sigh again then lift his hands to cup my cheeks.

“I know babe but it’s just not safe. You can never know what can happen if we all leave the house. I need you home so I can know that you’re safe and also your ex best friend isn’t the same anymore. When you knew her she had blonde hair but when I met her she dyed her hair black and changed her appearance so you won’t recognize her even if you are to see her. It’s up to me to do so Camila and I need you right home here , Where it’s safe and I can be assure that you’re safe. I just need you to understand, okay?” He asked and I let out a breath, looking to the floor.

Hesitating, I finally opened my mouth to talk. “Okay” I said, nodding my head and saw a little smile making its way to his lips.

“I’m glad you understand” he said then give me a smack in my lips. “Now, I will only be gone for half an hour or so. Just… stay home, don’t leave the house and don’t let Ethan go anywhere outside. You don’t have to be scared of your safety because the bodyguards are here and they are trained very well to protect both of you. I’l also call you when I leave the station, okay?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Okay” I replied and he kissed me again before he turned to Ethan who was now looking at us witha frown since he still doesn’t know he’s in danger.

“Ethan, Your dad have some business to take care of. I’l be back in before you know it. Just listen to your mom and don’t leave the house, understood?” He asked Ethan and Ethan nodded his head in response .

“Good. I’m leaving now.” He began, kissing Ethan on his forehead then turned to me.

“Remember, you’re safe. There’s nothing to worry about” he reminded me then pulled me in for a short kiss and I kiss him then pulled away and engulf him in a hug. “Be safe” I whispered and his pulled away cupping my face.

“I will”

“Bye then” I said with a genuine smile and he kissed my forehead before smiling at Ethan and we both walked him to the door and watched as he hopped in his car and drove off.

Sighing, the bodyguard closed the door before guided both Ethan and I back inside and I just decided to go into the living room to relax my mind and not think about Damon being hurt or Ethan in danger but I just couldn’t stop thinking about it . And then I also had the feeling in my gut that something bad was going to happen.

Letting out another breath, I looked up and a frown suddenly coming upon my face when I saw that the bodyguard that was standing beside the entrance of the living room wasn’t there any more. He was standing there not too long ago .. And he.. he never moves from there.

Where could he be? Frowning even more, I held unto Ethan’s arm and got up. I showed him a sigh to be quite then began to quietly walk over to the entrance of the living room. And for some reason I felt scared and terrified. My heartbeat increased and I stared to breathe hard as we were now standing at the entrance.

I then counted to three before poking my head out to see if anyone was there and let out a sigh of relief right after I saw that he was there but not standing close to the entrance, as he should be. Anyways, I don’t care. All that matters is that he’s doing his job. So giving him one last glance, I pulled my head back in and turned around, still holding unto Ethan and began walking back to the couch but stopped when I suddenly heard a loud thud .. as if a body had fell to the floor.

BANG!

Another sound but it sounded more like the sound of a GUN! My body jolt into action almost right away. I took Ethan in my arms and began running to a safe area but then another sound and all the lights suddenly went oft.

My breathing increased again while my eyes scanned the dark room, trying to see my way as one of my hands went to Ethan’s mouth and cover it. I slowly began walking, trying to feel for a wall to guide me somewhere safe and only praying in my head that Damon comes back right now.

I was scared and terrified, my body shaking as I held tightly unto Ethan who was slightly trembling in my hands and I knew he was scared but as so thankful that he was smart enough to not make any sound and be quiet. But he was scared and I just wanted to comfort him right now, to tell him that it’s okay but I know ican be risking both of our lives right now. I just need to take Ethan to a safe place then I’ll call Damon. I have to make sure Ethan is safe and even if that means I have to get hurt in doing so cause I’m not losing him again, I can’t.

I continued walking through the dark room but froze when i suddenly heard foot steps and I became even more scared. Biting my lips, I continued to feel for the walls, praying that whosoever is in the house, doesn’t Catch me but I guess my prayers weren’t answered cause right after that, I felt a hand on my neck and I froze but came out of my frozen state when Ethan was suddenly yanked out of my hands and he screamed out but his screams were soon muffled and I tired to grabbed him back but before I could’ve even do that a arm was wrapped around me and I was being dragged off and now I couldn’t be quite, I opened my mouth, screaming as loud as I can.

“ETHAN !!!” And then his heard screams were heard again following his small voice that made we tear up.

“Mommy!” Then it vanished .. I broke down after that, screaming louder after that. Shouting for Ethan over and over again. Just hoping that he’s okay and fine.

I can’t lose him

I just can’t!
