Cat Lea Takersdarkone
Chapter One-Fifteen
Heaven had directed Taker off the highway and on into a residential area. They head down a winding wooded street with a small handful of houses on it.. They come to a dead end street and head toward the last house on it. They finally stop in front of a driveway with an iron gate across it. The property has a high stone fence going all the way around the huge piece of property. There are camera upon the wall in many spots. Heaven hangs on tighter to Taker as he stops near a security code box. She is barely breathing as she clings to Taker's back looking at the property. He can feel her shaking against his back. The look in her eye is pure terror as if she has seen a ghost. Bradshaw moves her bike up next to them and places a hand on her back. This causes her to jump then look at him. He speaks softly to her while the others in the group watches on. Taker tightens his hold on her hands that are around him turning slightly so he can watch her closely. Al move Bradshaw bike up closer just in case. Reno slides his bike up just in case she decides to run. While Kane moves his up behind Taker's next to Reno's bike so that Heaven knows that he is near.
"It time honey for you to come home. Heaven you should have been home a long time ago sweet heart. It the right time now so much is changed for you and it will be good I promise kiddo."
"Maybe, but what if maybe it's just too late to come home Shaw? What if I took to long to make it back and now maybe I shouldn't be here?"
"Little girl it never, and I mean never too late for you to come home where you are supposed to be. Your Mom and Dad would want you back home here with your brother. This was the home they took you to right after you got out of the hospital after Rob found you. This is the house you did most of your growing up in. This is your home with Rob and honey now it times to reclaim it."
"But what if..."
"What if, what Heaven? Tell me please? Because baby there is no reason in hell that I can think of for you not be back home where you belong."
"Just what if you know things from the past find their way back. What if I have to get away here like last time? I couldn't stay here you know I tired just couldn't."
"I know you couldn't Heaven. I know hell we all know how badly you tried to stay put after what he did to you."
Heaven sighs and looks down.
"I did try too but what if it all happens again Shaw?"
"Heaven if you're asking me what if the nightmares come back. The terrors that he can get to you again honey then you have to learn to trust us to help you. Plus I am sorry darling seems from the last couple of night that they already are back with you. Plus from what I am seeing and figuring they have been for months now. And no one is going to hurt you here honey. Hell this place is safer then any place else you could be."
Heaven nods and takes a gulp of air putting her head on Takers back looking up some at Bradshaw and whisper.
"Yeah they have been back for a while now. Hell about six months now. I think Spit has slept in my room more then her own just to make sure I was ok."
"Ok then so being home is not going to make it any worst baby girl."
"I know John it just I am scared. Maybe not just of Paulie getting me here but about all the memories that are buried here."
"Baby I know that you're scared of the memories. Hell the Deadman that you are hanging on to like he a life line know that you are scared to death right now. But baby what you need to know is it all right to be scared. And you need to remember what Kane been telling you since you got here honey your not alone. Hell we all have been telling you that. You need to remember Heaven that we are here and will help you any way we can."
Heaven looks at Bradshaw and then up into Takers eyes as he is watching her and nods at her. She then looks around the group of friends and tries to smile.
"A part of me knows you're right John. I know I am not alone for the first time in a long time. And I can do this it is time to come home and time to put the ghost of the past to rest. But I am still so scared. I only been home once since Mom and Dad death."
"I know Heaven. So just hold on to Mark tightly and try to breath. This really is where you belong to be kid. It's been way to long. And Hells you been gone for all the wrong reasons too."
Taker leans over and kisses Heaven gently on the lips. At the same time pulling her into him tighter and holding her so she feels safe.
"I love you My Angel so how about letting us help you little one. After all that part of what we have started the others day was being there for each other. You did tell me that you where mine right Heaven? You are mine and I am yours?"
"You're right my love it is what I told you. I am yours and will be till you tell me to leave. So yep I will let you help me. I might have trouble some times but I will work on letting you all help me if you are all sure that what you want."
"Good I like when my little girl lets me in and not cuts me out. And we will help you learn to trust us and let us in. Now Ms. Heaven Hells-End Darkside lets say you open these gates and lets us into your world. Let us take you on home where you should be baby girl of mine."
"I think that would be a good thing Taker. And I want you all in my life and that is every part of it. It is important for me to have you and Kane and all these guys in my life as part of it and as part of all your lives."
Heaven leans up and kisses Taker softly but with a lot of passion for a second. She then leans over and kisses Bradshaw gently on the lips before hugging Jazz who just smiles at her big time.
"Jazzy what are you giving me that grin for?"
"Cause Bitch I knew you come home one day and glad I was here to be part of it. Bradshaw right should have been years ago kid. But either way just glad you finally are listening and understanding this is where you belong."
"Yeah Jazz your right he is right this time. I know you and Rob and Al all have told me this too. I guess I just had to wait to the right time even if I didn't listen till the time was right."
"Hells with you it couldn't have been any other time. You could never listen to us after all you could not handle us being right and you wrong."
"How fucking Right you are Jazzy, how fucking right you are. Hell you all know I hate doing what others is telling me is right. You also all know this is one of the few times that I will openly admit to being wrong."
This causes Jazz, Bradshaw and Al to laugh shaking their heads. Heaven looks at them and grins widely at them all.
"Yeah Bitch we know. Now open the damn gate if you're ready."
"All right time for me to come home."
With that Heaven takes a deep breath and leans over and punches in a code into the box next to the driveway. The big iron gates slowly rolls back on its track. She looks almost a little scared and is holding her breath. Bradshaw reaches out a hand again touching her arm softly and causing her to look at him. He winks at her and then smiles. Taker tightens his hold on her hands as she tightens her arms around him. She places her head on Taker's back once more.
"Are you ready My Angel?"
"As ready as I will ever be my big guy. Let's do this before I turn chicken and run. Cause with the looks Reno has been giving me I think he is afraid that is exactly what I was or am going to do."
Heaven turns and glances at Reno then smiles at him. He smiles back at Heaven and shakes his head with a grin. Kane reaches over and puts a hand on Reno shoulder as a look of hope passes between them. She then glances up at Taker who grins back and turns back around on his bike but still has Heaven hands.
"Good girl baby. Then let's do this now before you can change your mind. Not that we would let you."
Taker puts his bike in gear and pulls on through the gates with Heaven holding on tightly and breathing deeply. Heaven is still shaking but is happy and smiling. They are followed by Bradshaw and Jazz then the rest of the group. Taker heads down the driveway stopping near the garage where Robs Car is parked. Everyone pulls up near Takers bike and they start getting off and grabbing their bags. Heaven slides off Takers bike after he stops and shuts it off. She looks around her and the turns looking up at Taker and smiles up at him. Taker smiles down at her getting off of his bike and then he pulls her closer to him. He then leans down kissing her softly while running a hand slightly into her down hair. She returns the kiss with a slight moan before he pulls back some.
"Are you happy little one?"
Heaven laughs as everyone starts gathering around and nods kissing Taker for a second again and then pull back so that she can look around at everyone.
"Yeah I am very happy. I think Bradshaw and Rob are right it is time I come home. This is where I should be Taker. It is where I really do need to be especially right now."
"Good now are you sure you want us all here your first day home?"
"God yes Taker. And Mr. Undertaker you will always be welcome in my home. And if Rob starts with you fucking deck him. Because this is my house too and I plan on sharing my room with you when ever we are here."
"I will do that darling especially if he hurts you in any way. Oh and I plan on sharing that room with you any time we are here. But then I plan on sharing any room you sleep in no matter where we are."
"Good I like that idea Big Guy. Matter of fact I plan on the same thing. Sleeping in your arms where I am safe is something I am looking forward to baby."
Taker leans over and kisses her deeply and then kisses to her ear. He whispers into it and she starts to blush.
"Yes Angel I am looking forward to you sleeping in my arms too and naked as a jaybird and exhausted from the hot steamy sex I have in mind for my little wildcat."
Heaven blushes deeper and Taker softly licks her ear then blows in it. This causes her to partly moan that ends in a purr wiggling closer to him. Kane walks over and pulls them apart and grins at Taker and then down at Heaven who he wraps his arms around. Taker looks at Kane and raises an eye brow at him with a bit of a pout.
"Kane my little brother is there something I or should I say that we can do for you?"
"Yeah Big Brother if you stop pouting there is. "
"I don't pout Little Brother."
"Actually Taker since meeting this little girl you do when someone breaks you apart. The bottom lip comes out and you get this pouting look on your face."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"No I don't. Do I Heaven?"
"Yes you do. Doesn't he Heaven?"
Both Taker and Kane are fighting to not laugh along with the whole group. The Brothers both look down at Heaven who is grinning at them. They are waiting for an answer. Heaven smirks a little.
"No way Mr. Taker you don't pout?"
"He does too Heaven you are fibbing. Now tell the truth because we all know Taker pouts since meeting you."
"Well ok maybe Kane maybe he does just little but only when you don't get your own way. But then Kaney you are the same way. Like when I won't tell you Kane any thing that you want to know about Spitfire."
Kane looks down at Heaven and pouts making everyone laugh. He then goes to grab her and swings her over his shoulder.
"That it Bro think it going to be my turn to tan this little girls hide. Especially if she doesn't tell me about Spitfire before she gets here. So last chance here darling tell me something about her or it your ass is going to be tanned."
"Nope I am not telling you a thing about her. You will just have to wait to she gets here and find out for yourself."
"Then I am going to tan this cute little ass of yours Heaven."
"Nope that also is so not going to be happening either Kaney."
"No little girl and just why not after all I have you up and ready for it. So what is going to stop me from doing it?"
"You won't do that because Kaney like you have been telling me since I joined Deadman Inc. I am not alone here. And I believe if I asked my army for help that they would be more than willing to help me. Oh but Kane, that would not be kicking your ass but tickling the hell out of you."
Heaven reaches down and tickles his sides making him wiggle around. Kane moves Heaven down so he can see her face and she is smiling. He can also see that she might finally be starting to believe she is not alone. This causes him to grin widely at her and nods kissing her head. Kane looks over at Taker and grins even more because he can see that his brother is happy.
"Yeah my little one you're right you're not alone and glad you realize that. And I am sure some of them would help you tickle me if I tanned your ass for not telling me about Spitfire. Though I think Big Bro there would do more then tickle me."
Heaven glances back at Taker and grins. Taker smiles at her then look at Kane with a smirks and a look that tells Kane damn right it would be more then tickling.
"Yeah Kane I think you are a hundred percent right there. After all think the only one he is willing to let tan my ass is him."
"I think you're right little girl. Through something tells me Heaven that you both might enjoy him doing just that."
This causes Heaven to blush and Taker to growl a little at Kane. The group all laugh at them. Taker reaches out and takes Heaven back from Kane's hands and pulls her into his chest protectively.
"Tanning my little one ass for her not telling you about Spitfire will get you a lot more then tickled I can promise you that little Brother. And if you keep making her blush like this I might have to go back to the idea of teaching you about respecting my woman."
"Aw Bro she looks so cute though when she blushes like that."
"Yes she does but Kane you need to behave or you and I will be talking."
"Ok but she does make it hard. And I still don't think it is fair that she won't tell me about this girl that she setting me up with."
"Aw poor baby brother but I am sure Kane that she has her reasons. If nothing else to torture you for making her blush so much. I think you and Rainbow Bright both seem be having way to much fun doing that to my baby here."
"Well it is fun Taker and I think if any one is making her blush more them me and Hardy it you big Bro."
Taker looks over at Jeff how nods and then down at Heaven and smirks.
"I know but I can do that after all she is mine. And that is something you and Hardy boy over there should remember. So you knock it off for now and just live with the fact that you have to wait till Spitfire gets here to know about her. That is in less Heaven here changes her mind and tells you."
"No way in hell Taker is that going to be happen. Sorry Partner but I think you need to see her before you get any ideas about her. And I can't wait to you do."
"Heaven you are Brat kid."
Kane leans over and kisses Heaven and then smiles up at Taker. Heaven grins at Kane and nod her head yes.
"Yep Kane I am a Brat but you love me any way. And now you all know I can be a brat when I want too or a bitch because I am one of those too. So now everyone I would like to welcome you all to mine and Rob's home. And if Taker will put me down why don't we all go in and I can show you all around. And everyone please make your selves at home. Our home is yours while you are all here."
Taker kisses her and puts her down on her feet taking her hand and grabbing his and her stuff. She smiles up at him and then turns and leads them all to the door. Rob who got there a few hours ago comes out standing on the steps looking at Heaven as she comes up the stairs. When she gets to the top she lets go of Taker's hand and moves to Rob who reaches out and hugs her to him. Both of them have tears in their eyes.
"Welcome Home little sister. I am glad you are finally coming home Heaven. It really is way over due honey."
"Thank you big brother, I am glad I am home now too. And Robbie I know it over due but glad we are here together now. "
"Me too Hells and you know Mom and Dad would want you home again especially Heaven, with Paulie getting out of prison on Friday."
"I know they would want me here. Hell this is where they were coming to take me back too. Rob it feels right coming home right now. But I am not going to worry about Paulie getting out on Friday. Or even me here for my protection. I am going to be happy that I am home where I loved growing up."
"Heaven please honey."
"Nope Robbie sorry but I just want to come home. I want to be around my family and friends and just enjoy my life and where I am at. All the rest I can't change so why should I worry about it. I will be what it is."
"But Heaven you still need to be careful and to think about things before you do them. It doesn't have to be his way."
"I know Rob but what I need right now is to just be able to come home. I need to be able to just relax and enjoy being home for the first time in years. Please it what I need."
"Ok you win for now Hells. Let's get them all in and show them where we grew up. And figure out who sleeping where."
Rob looks at Heaven as the rest stand there watching and then over at Taker. He glances at Bradshaw and then notice that he and Jazz are holding hands and frown a little. Heaven notices this as does Bradshaw and Jazz who drop hands both looking opposite ways. Heaven hugs Rob and pulls him closer so she can whisper to him without everyone hearing.
"You leave them be do you hear me big brother. I want him happy and it about time he moves on. She just the girl that can do that for him and it time they stopped this being best buddies and go for what will make them both happy."
"But Kid."
"No Rob I mean it if fuck with them in any way and I will hurt you. It time you let the idea of me and Bradshaw being together go. We tried over and over and it was not meant to be. And weather you like it or not I found the guy I know could make me happy again."
"Damn it Hells. You and Bradshaw should have been if not for Paulie."
Heaven flinches a little and tightens her hug on Rob.
"Big Brother going to tell you this just once I want you to end this thought of us together. I love him and he loves me but that not going to fix what happen."
"Fine but there are so many good and decent guys out there and even in our company. Let me introduce you to them. Maybe you could find one that some day you could say yes and marry."
Heaven sighs shaking her head then glances over her shoulder at Taker who tenses up some watching Rob and Heaven.
"If you want me here Robert then it time you get use to him and I. He is who makes me happy and who I plan on staying with. And yes that does mean my room too. I don't want to meet any of these guys you want me too. I am happy now let me be happy living my life here at home Plus I told you a long time ago so you know Robbie I am never going to marry anyone."
Rob growls a little and Heaven pulls away and turns toward everyone moving into Takers arms knowing Rob has not learned yet and that as much as she was hoping to have an end to his trying to control her that it not going to happen yet. Taker tightens his grip on her and pulls her closer. Rob turns and head into the house followed by Heaven and Taker then the rest of the group.
