Dean had had a long day and after being up all night he was exhausted when he saw April he smiled and hugged her. She gave him the energy he needed just by being in her presence.

April felt his weight on her as he embraced her and she frowned. “You need to rest, I can tell you’re exhausted.” 

“I feel instantly better after seeing you.” Dean mused, he let go and opened the car door for her helping in inside.

“Mmm still. We eat dinner then we go straight to bed.”

“Giving orders now?” He smirked as he got in the driver’s side and turned on the engine of his car. “Only if you go straight to bed with me.” He added, he had his own conditions.

April saw his tired eyes and she was worried so she agreed, “Fine, I am tired too. I yawned all afternoon.”

“I was reading and it said that in the early pregnancy stages you need lots of rest and sleep.”

“You were reading pregnancy books already?” April giggled, she was surprised as they had only recently found out that they were having a baby.

“Of course I’m your partner and the daddy.” He beamed, he was happy with where they were right now the only downside in this life is the trash still needed to be taken out. As he thought of that he added, “My private investigator called.”

April came out of her daydream and stared at Dean, “What did he find?”

Dean sighed he didn’t want to be the one that gave her the news, “The pharmacist that Rachel used to make your fathers poisonous tablets also confessed to doing the same thing with your mother. He agreed to testify as long as he gets immunity. April I’m sorry.”

April gulped it was news that she was expecting but it didn’t make it any easier for her to hear. “Don’t be sorry, it’s okay. I mean it’s not okay, but it’s the information we need. Can we go ahead and give this information to the police?” She asked.

“I already have. Along with a taped conversation between Rachel and Lucy in which she admits to… her crimes.” Dean then handed April an envelope as he drove them home.

April opened up the envelope and saw pictures of Rachel in handcuffs being dragged in and out of a police car and straight into the police station. She felt sad and yet like she was on the road to avenging her mother. “Thanks, Dean.”

“She hasn’t been charged yet, but the Head of police said he will keep her for 72hrs and see what they can get out of her. But he is sure they have enough evidence at the moment to fully charge her.” Dean said he drove smoothly but kept glancing at April to see her facial expressions. This news was a lot for anyone to digest.

“It’s the first step. Thank you for helping me.” April added, she felt a sad triumph.

“The only thing is with Rachel behind bars it makes Lucy a loose cannon, we have to stay vigilant. I will introduce you to your guard once we reach home.” Dean said he worried so much more in this life now that he had experienced her love he didn’t want anything to happen to her.

“I hope she is miserable and your right Rachel kept Lucy in line without her around she is stupid.” April picked up her handbag as Dean parked the car.

She didn’t know who was the mastermind behind her death, was it all Rachels influence or was it Lucy’s desperation and anger that had led to her death. Either way, once one was locked away they would only have the other one to deal with.

Life was flowing so well and she was so happy she couldn’t help but feel nervous that something might happen to her. She felt uneasy for her baby.

Dean leaned over and held her cheek kissing her lips and nibbling on her lower lip. He released her and stared into her eyes, “Don’t worry you have me, together we can overcome anything.”

“You’re right.” April smiled and she jumped out of the car. She instantly noticed a car pull up behind Dean’s and the same tall and broad young man stepped out that she had met outside of the hospital.

April walked up to him and held out her hand, “Im April nice to meet you. I’m sorry you have to follow a boring person like me around all day.” 

Eric chuckled, he was glad she was still kind to him, “My name is Eric and your safety is my top priority.”

“Okay, then Eric come inside and get some dinner.” April smiled up at him, she was glad he was friendly and not standoffish.

Eric was taken aback and waved his arms and said “Oh no no I can’t do that.” He didn’t want to go into the bosses home, no other guard had been invited in before and he felt out of place by doing so,

April frowned and said, “Hey my rules, if you are going to keep me safe I will keep you fed.” She wanted to know who was guarding her, she wanted to get to know him more. He would be with her every day so it was important to get to know him.

“You’re better off doing whatever she says, trust me it makes life easier.” Dean laughed adding to the conversation. 

Hearing Dean, he then nodded and said, “You’re the boss.”

“Actually April is the boss.” Dean chuckled and held April’s hand as they walked into his grandfather’s home.

Dean leaned on her as he entered the living room, whatever she wanted he would grant and at the moment he was trying to plan the perfect proposal. He knew she would say yes and he couldn’t wait to marry her so he had to set up a quick marriage too.. In fact today he had registered their marriage at City Hall.
