Chapter 0546 As I stood in the shower, alone, flashes of last night flashed in my mind. At some point, I had fallen asleep on the chair. Alec had carried me to our room, removed my boot and cuddled against me as I slept.

However, this morning, I woke up to his side of the bed, empty.

It was still dark, I checked on Adalynn who was sleeping still and the fresh footprints leading away from the front door told me he must have gone for a run. If he wasn’t back by the time I got out of the shower, I was going to mind-link him.

Still, Iwasn’t convinced I had any repressed trauma floating around in my head. However, seeing how much

Alec was suffering as he watched me heal time and time after again. It made me realize that it wouldn’t hurt to be extra careful. My life isn’t just my life anymore and as much as I wanted to be carefree to have a risk free life, it may not be that way.

The hot water felt good but Adalynn was going to be awake soon. Stepping out, I wrapped a towel around me and walked to my closet. Since I was going to be working in my shop today, I picked out a thick pair of leggins and a long dresser sweater. That would be easy to wear my boot with. Still feeling alittle cold, I picked some fluffy socks out to match. Wanting to look a little more presentable, I added some makeup and did my hair. I was getting really good at curling my hair. Adalynn started crying right as I was finishing

putting hairspray on.

“Hey baby girl.” I cooed as I went into her room. She reached out for me. My heart physically ached as I thought about not being able to do this again. It was too the point that I had water in my eyes as I changed her diaper and carried her to the high chair.

Unfortunately for me, Alec got home as I'was wiping my eyes. “Are you okay?” “Yeah. I just was thinking about everything you said last night and when I went to get her, I just couldn’t help but thinking if I died, I wouldn’t get to ever see this little girl grow up.” Alec came over to me.
