WE'RE Soulmates!?

Chapter Nine: Combing Through The Rings

Devin POV: I Sigh And Let Out A Deep Breath Before I Said...

"There's Something That Happened That Night And I Don't Know How You'll React"

"What Do You Mean Love???"Daniel Asked

"I Killed Her....When The Paramedics Came They Had To Pull Me Off Of Her...Danny I Beat Her To Death..."I Said Quietly

"What Does That Mean?" Daniel Questioned

"Nothing You Need To Concern Yourself With..."I Said Before Being Cut Off

"NO TELL ME DEVIN!" Daniel Yelled Absolutely Scaring Me

"OK!...I Killed Her With Profound Insanity And The Police Think I'm Either A Psychopath Or That Somehow You Influenced My Mind To Kill Her..."I Cried

I Pushed Myself Up To Dan Curling Up In His Grasp I Laid There Sobbing Into His Chest While He Sat Quietly Playing With My Hair Calming Me Slowly

"Devin I'll Defend You Till The Day I Die..."Dan Said Softly

I Nuzzled Into Him More And Quickly Fell Asleep...

3 Hours Later; Daniel POV:

I Let Devin Sleep For Awhile Before Some Detective I Think Came In And He Said...

"Hello Mr. Scott I Would Like To Ask You A Few Questions If You Don't Mind"

"Sure Ask Away Mr..."I Said Before He Said His Name Interrupting me

"Stevenson" He Answered

"Ok Mr. Stevenson, To What Do I Owe The Pleasure?" I Asked

"Well I Don't Know If You Know But Your Boyfriend Killed His Own Mother..."He Said Me Instantly Interrupting Him

"Look Devin Had Perfect Right To Do So She Broke Into Our Apartment And Had A Gun So If You Say It Was Unjust Then You Just A Bullshit Cop Now Leave Me ALONE!!" I Yelled

He Didn't Say Anything He Just Left Like I Told Him To While Watching Him Leave I Didn't Even Notice That Devin Was Awake Most Likely Because I Yelled But I Quickly Soothed Him Back Into Slumber A While After That I Just Fell Asleep With Him In My Arms...

Devin POV: 3 Hours Later

I Woke Up On Top Of Dan And I Blushed At Out Position My Butt Up Against His Crotch But I Quickly Got Up Waking Him In The Process As I Stood I Felt Quite Uneven Probably Because I Haven't Ate Or Drank Anything Really For The Past Three Months Maya Has Been Helping A lot With Blake And All But I Need To Pull Myself Together I Regained My Balance Going To Look For Maya And She Was Just Sitting In The awaiting Room Holding Blake Keeping Him Occupied So I Walk Up To Her...

"Hey... Maya... Thanks So Much For Helping Me Out Over Theses Long Months I Am So Thankful To You And Hopefully I Can Take Blake For A While"I Say Finally

"Well Sure Devin Hes Not My Kid And Like I Said I'll Always Help When You Need It" She Stated

All I Could Think Is I Love This Woman No Wonder Dan Adores Her So Much "Thank You So So So So Much Maya How Can I Ever Thank You Enough" I Finally Retorted Back

She Simply Waved Me Off And I Was On My Way, I Was Scared When I Came Back Into The Hospital To See Dan Talking To Child Protection Services (CPS) And I Was Afraid To Walk Up But The Woman Greeted Me Kindly And Asked How My Mental Health Was And I Simply Stated "With Dan In The Hospital I've Been Very Stressed But His Mother Helped Me Out During The Time"

She Looked Hesitantly At Me But Replied "That's Great To Hear I Was Just Wondering Because You Both Are So Young Devin You're..."

"Sixteen" I Replied

"And Dan...?"

"Eighteen..." He Answered Softly

"You Guys Are Young And We're Worried About You Both Considering Your Age And If It Actually Isn't Going Well We Will Have To Take Temporary Custody So Please Tell Me You Both Are Capable Of Taking Care Of Him At This Age..." She Stated Simply With Slight Sadness

"Of Course Ma'am Dan Has Graduated And I'll Be Going Into My Junior Year Coming Up We'll Be Perfect I Assure You And If We Need Help Dan Mother Has Been A Big Help..." I Stated Quite Quickly

She Looked Warily At Me Noticing How Little Sleep I've Had She Took In My Features It Felt Like I Was Being Looked Straight Though The Bandages On My Wrists My Tired Eyes The Worried Look Underneath All That Yet I Could See In Her Eyes That I Was Prepared For This

"Well Boys I Won't Take Anymore Of Your Time Enjoy, And Devin If You Ever Need Help With..." She Motioned Towards My Bandages "We're Always Here To Help" She Finished Finally

"Oh..." I Blushed From Embarrassment "That's A Problem Long Gone I Have Danny To Thank For That" I Stated Before Kissing Daniel

She Bid Us Goodbye While Me, Daniel, And Blake Left The Hospital Daniel Slowly Limped His away But He Said He Was Fine And When He Says He's Fine, He's Fine. After We Got Home The Apartment Was A Mess From My Mental Break Down There Was Shit Everywhere And Dan Seemed A Little Worried But He Took Blake Into Me And His Bedroom While I Cleaned Up Which Made Me Feel A Lot Better About Myself Because I'm being Clean For Once But Besides The Point...

Daniel POV: Two Hours Later

I Walk Put To See Devin Heating Up A Bottle For Blake While Also Cooking For Me Which I Protested At But He Waved Me Off I Wanted To Stop Him From Doing This Seeing Though He Just Finished Cleaning The Apartment But He Said He Wanted To So I Just Let It Go But I Still Felt Like Something Was Off I Grabbed The Bottle And Feed It To Blake And Once He Was Done I Put Him In His Crib And Let Him Sleep, I Walked Up Behind Devin And Wrapped My Arms Around His Waist He Jumped A Little Then Relaxed To My Touch

"Hey Babe, Are You Alright?" I Asked

"Y...Yea, Why Wouldn't I?!" He Said In A Somewhat Startled Manor

"What's Wrong Devin I Can See Right Through You Ya Know" I Simply Said

He Just Took A Deep Breath And Still Didn't Answer Me I Was A Little Worried But Right As I Was About To Ask Again He Said...

"I'm Just Worried The CPS Is Gonna Take Blake And I Don't Want Them To" He Started Crying Into My Chest

Now That He Mentioned It I'm Kinda Worried To But I Don't See Any Issues Seeing Though We Have A Steady Income I Have A Good Job We Have A Home I'm Just Unsure, As I Thought All That I Retorted It To Devin, Then A Intriguing Thought Came Along Devin Not Paying Attention To Me Didn't Hear My Thought "I Want To Marry You Devin Gonzales" But Even Though He Didn't Hear The Thought But I'm Pretty Sure I Said It Out Loud

"Wha...What Did You S...S..Say" He Stuttered Out

My Eyes Widened "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?!!" I Slightly Raised My Voice In Embarrassment

He Shook His Head Slightly Indeed Telling Me I Had
'Shit' I Thought But I Walked Into Me And Devins Room And Grabbed A Small Jewelry Box My Mom Had Me Keep For Devin To Have And Knowing Me All To Well There Was A Note On The Lid Stating
"Hey Son There's A Lot Of Things I Think Devin Will Enjoy And Something Else For Your Needs Use It Wisely" My Hands Slowly Opened The Box To Find A Very Nice Red Box Small Enough For A Ring, I Take The Box Out Putting The Jewelry Box Back, I Opened The Ring Box And Saw The Most Beautiful Diamond Ring, 'I'm Ready' I Thought As I Walked Out Hands Behind My Back...

"Hey Baby I Need To Talk To You..." I Started Still Really Worried He Might Say No "So We've Been Together For Almost A Year Now And I Have A Question For You... Will You Marry Me Devin Gonzales..."
