****** WARNING - DO NOT READ THIS STORY IF YOU ARE STILL READING NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE AS THIS IS THE SEQUEL (KIND OF - WELL IT'S A SPIN OFF) BUT THIS CHAPTER HAS A HUGE SPOLIER FOR NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE AS THIS STARTS AT THE SAME TIME AS THE EPILOGUE!!!!! *******............................................................................................................................................................................Enjoying the ChaseChapter 1My cell phone buzzed in my pocket and I glanced at my Captain, wondering what he would do if I looked at my message. It was probably Sarah or Sasha or whatever the girls name was that I was supposed to be taking out tonight. He would be seriously pissed if I got caught checking messages, when I should be listening to his briefing about the raid we were on tomorrow. Screw it, he wouldnt do anything; I was the best sniper he had so there was no way he would take me off of point for the operation tomorrow.

I shoved my hand in my pocket and pulled out my phone, flicking through and opening a new picture message from my best friend, Ashton. As I opened it I saw a cute little baby, all scrunched up and dirty looking. He had a mess of brown hair and looked like he was crying a little. Holy shit, they did it. Anna had given birth! I grinned and flicked to the next photo, it was Anna holding the baby, the message underneath read;

Anna and baby Cameron, both doing great Shit yeah! I shouted happily, jumping out of my seat. She did it! I was so pleased for both of them, theyd waited a long time and I know Anna was finding it hard being pregnant; she was terrified of losing the baby. Ashton was too, but I think he was even more worried because he was stressed about losing her as well after what she went through last time when she miscarried and almost died.

Nate Peters, what the hell do you think youre doing interrupting my briefing? Captain Elder shouted angrily, as everyone turned in their seats to look at me.

I swallowed loudly, great another day of paperwork for me! Damn it, Ive got such a freaking big mouth! Oh well, theres nothing I can do about it now and happiness was still running though my system at the thought of my best friend being a dad.

Ashton and Anna had their baby, I announced, grinning proudly as I held the phone up showing the rest of the team the photo as evidence.

Yeah? What did they have? he asked, his face softening.

Little boy.

Well thats awesome; I take it everythings fine. The Presidents daughter is okay? Captain Elder asked.

I nodded in confirmation. Apparently shes doing good.

Well thats great. Now can you sit the f*ck down so I can finish my briefing? he shouted, slamming his hand down on the desk next to him.

I nodded quickly. Yes Sir, sorry Sir. I slumped down in my seat again, trying to look reproachful but to be honest I dont think I pulled it off. I couldnt help but smile proudly. Ashton was the best friend a guy could ask for and he deserved this, Id never seen him as happy as Anna made him. Theyd both been through so much and were incredible people and this baby would be one lucky little kid to have both of them in his life, I know I was.

I could barely concentrate on the rest of the briefing, hopefully itd all be in the pack and I could read through it tomorrow morning before coming on duty. I needed to go to the hospital and see them and tell Anna congratulations. Anna was awesome and I couldnt help but be a little jealous that Ashton had met her first. Id never really wanted to settle down with one girl, but I know that if Anna wasnt Ashtons girl, I would be chasing her around, begging for a chance. She was beautiful and smart and funny, everything I hoped I would meet in a girl one day. I hoped I found my perfect match just like Ashton did, lucky bastard.

Finally, we were dismissed, and I headed into the middle of the team in a bid to get out of the room before Captain Elder spotted me and kicked my ass down to the filing room or something as punishment for the interruption.

Kurt grinned as he pushed me in front of him out of the door. Only you could get out without a punishment, Nate. He rolled his eyes teasingly.

Yeah, you know he loves me. I waggled my eyebrows jokingly. In all honesty the Captain did love me, I was great at my job and although I got in trouble quite a bit for fooling around, I was reliable and the best he had.

Lets see the picture, Kurt said, holding out his hand for my cell phone. I flicked through, finding the two pictures and handed then it to him. He looked at them thoughtfully for a couple of seconds. You know, you could make a fortune selling this to the press. First picture of the Presidents grandson. How about you Bluetooth it to me and I sell it for you, and then well split the money. He raised his eyebrows hopefully.

Freaking asshole! I snatched my phone from his hand angrily. Grow a f*cking brain Kurt, thats my best friends baby, I snapped. People were always approaching me for things like that; it was stupid, as if I would do that. It made me angry, all the people willing to stab them both in the back for money, it was pathetic. People that knew them well, still thought about selling them off for fifteen minutes of fame. They had to deal with a lot of crap with the press following them both around all the time and making up stuff, but they coped with it well. I guess Anna being the President of the United States daughter, brought with it attention, so they couldnt really get away from it.

Kurt held his hands up innocently and laughed. Relax Nate, I was joking.

Joking, my ass, he wasnt joking at all. I turned and walked off without saying anything, if I kept talking to him Id punch him in his sleezy face. He always was an asshole thats why most of the team didnt like him.

As I walked out of the building I called the hospital to find out what time visiting hours were in the maternity ward. I was told it wasnt until seven thirty so I had a couple of hours to wait. I sent the picture on to Seth, Wayne and Ryan because they would want to know too. Then I headed down to the store to buy a gift for the baby.

As soon as I walked in I knew I was out of my depth, my twenty-five years of life had not prepared me for walking into a baby clothing store. There were all sorts of baby clothes everywhere; sleep suits, body suits, normal looking outfits, bibs, blankets. Damn, I had no idea what to buy! Where the hell were the jeans and shirts? I looked around a little lost, until I spotted a young pretty looking blonde salesperson standing at the counter.

I slapped on my game smile and headed over there, leaning on the counter. Excuse me, Maam, do you think you could offer me a little help? In return Id love to take you out to dinner. I smirked as she blushed like crazy and giggled. Wow, these girls were just so damn easy, it was almost not even fun anymore. There was no challenge, no chase nothing, hell, I wouldnt even need to buy this one dinner to get her into bed.

Sure Officer, what were you looking for? she asked, leaning in closer as she twirled her hair around her finger. Wow, that just killed it right there, I hate it when women do that hair thing, I mean, is that supposed to be sexy? Seth goes crazy for that shit but it just doesnt do it for me.

My best friend just had a little baby boy so I wanted to get a present or something. Is there anything in particular that Im supposed to buy? I asked, looking around helplessly.

She smiled and pushed herself out from behind the counter, swaying her hips as she walked so I couldnt help but watch her ass. How about this? she suggested, grabbing a little blue and white outfit from the rail, barely even looking at it. Or we have a bigger selection out the back. She raised her eyebrow, suggestively.

Damn, this is one easy woman, but hey, Im not one to turn down $ex if its being offered so easily. I grinned and followed her out the back whilst she giggled and held my hand tightly. It was the SWAT uniform, definitely the uniform; it got the girls every time. I guess it helped that I was a good-looking guy, even if I do say so myself. I kept myself in shape because of my job. My blond hair was always styled, my blue eyes stood out and a lot of girls complemented me on them. I guess girls are suckers for a good-looking guy in a uniform; I wasnt going to complain about it!

When I was finished I made my excuses and headed out of the store without even buying anything for the baby. The girl - Carly I think she said her name was - was getting all clingy, asking when she was going to see me again, what was my number, blah blah blah. Jeez woman, it was a bit of fooling around in the storeroom, she wasnt exactly someone I wanted to see again. I mean, what the hell kind of girl wants to go at it with a stranger in the back of a store? Not a girl Id like to see again thats for sure. I know I had double standards but I was a guy, I was allowed to have double standards, right?

I sighed and looked at my watch to see it was already quarter to seven. I didnt have time to go anywhere else now so Id just have to show up without a present I guess. Id buy him something tomorrow; Id go for something easier like a stuffed animal or something.

As I headed back to my car I spotted a corner store across the road, I jogged over and bought Ashton the biggest, fattest, cigar that they had. I laughed as I shoved it in my pocket, he hated even the smell of them, I bet I could get him to smoke it though if I told him he had to. I laughed as I drove to the hospital, and pulled up in the parking lot, taking my time, I was still a little early for visiting.

I headed in having no idea where to go at all, a nurse walked past me and I smiled, making her stop. Excuse me, Maam, can you tell me how to get to the Maternity ward? I asked politely.

She smiled, her eyes raking down my body slowly, Sure, its down the hall and up to floor five.

Thanks. I turned and headed off, ignoring the way she was watching my ass. Yep I love my job, and the uniform that goes with it!

I pressed the buzzer on the door and waited outside the ward door until the ward sister opened it, signalling it was ok for me to go in. She directed me down the hall but she neednt have done, I spotted Rick Annas secret service bodyguard - sitting on the chair outside room 3.

Hey man, how you doing? I asked, sitting next to him.

Yeah good, Nate. You? He smiled running a hand through his hair.

Awesome. You seen him? I asked, nodding at the door to Annas room.

He grinned and nodded. Yeah, I saw him a couple of hours ago, hes cute.

Were you outside while she was delivering him? Did it take long? I asked curiously. How long do these things take anyway, an hour or two?

He winced and nodded. Yeah, I was in there with her for a little while too, while we were waiting for Ashton. Damn, I dont ever want to see that kind of thing again. It looked fucking painful and the screams, damn. He shook his head looking like he was trying not to remember. She went into labour this morning at about ten then we came to the hospital at about two. She looked like she really felt it, if you know what I mean.

I frowned at his answer; she was in labour all day? Ouch! Mental note; dont make fun of Anna today as shes been through too much. Wow, thats a long time. Anyway, Im gonna head in. What time are you working until tonight? I asked.

He shrugged, Not sure, usually once Ashtons home with her I get to take off, but I dont want to just do that while shes in the hospital, so Ive called for a night guard to come and replace me. Hopefully hell be here soon.

I slapped him on the shoulder. You coming in? I nodded towards the door.

Nah, you go in. Ill pop in again when the night guard comes to replace me, he replied, leaning back in the chair, stretching.

Okay, see ya. I smiled and pushed open the door to her room. I was so excited to see the new little Taylor family addition, that I could barely stop myself from grinning like an idiot. I kind of felt like it was my kid too in a way, because I went through a lot with them too. Ashton vented to me constantly, so I knew and felt what he was going through. Anna and Ashton were sitting up on the bed as I walked in, Ashtons head snapped up when the door opened, ever protective as usual. He smiled and moved off of the bed as I walked in the room.

Holy crap guys, you two are parents! Come on Ashton move out the way and let me seduce your girl, I said happily, as I shoved Ashton away from the bed further and leant in to kiss Annas cheek. She looked exhausted so I wouldnt stay too long so she could rest. Well done. So where is he, can I see him? I asked, glancing at the little crib on the other side of the bed. Wow, he was small enough to fit into that little crib? That was a little scary!

Anna grinned proudly, Sure Nate, hes here. She nodded in his direction.

Okay, time to tease the new dad! I slapped Ashtons shoulder and pulled out the cigar, holding it out to him. He looked at it and laughed nervously, subconsciously turning his nose up at it.

A cigar?

Tradition. I nodded, trying to look serious; I couldnt wait to get him to smoke it. I bet the lightweight would puke his guts up!

Dude, I hate cigars and so do you. He looked at it horrified and I knew just by his face that it was worth the seven bucks I spent on it.

Ashton, its in the movies, man. The dad and the best friend have to smoke a cigar to welcome the baby into the world. I also have to take you out to get you drunk to wet the babys head. I grinned and turned to walk around the bed to see the baby.

I guess if its in the movies then it must be true, Ashton mumbled sarcastically.

Anna smiled, Ive seen that movie too. Nates right, it is tradition, pretty boy. She stuck her tongue out at him and I winked at her. She was so damn funny sometimes.

I got to the little crib and looked over to see a tiny little sleeping baby, dressed in one of the little white suit things that I saw in the store. He had brown hair and was all scrunched up. He was tiny and actually scared the crap out of me. How the hell can something so tiny, be that scary?

Oh shit guys, hes so cute! And damn hes so small, I mused. I couldnt take my eyes off of him. He was just so perfect and cute looking. Id never really looked at a baby before and thought it was cute; usually all I thought about was the responsibility and the expense that went with one. Hes so beautiful. Im so glad he looks like you Anna and not his dad, I joked, sneering at Ashton with mock disgust. He wouldnt mind though, hed already told me he wanted the baby to look just like her and not be ruined by any of him at all.

Anna laughed and shook her head, Want to hold him?

Shit, hold him? I was allowed to hold him even though she knew I had nothing to do with kids? Damn, she was adorable! You dont mind? I mean, what if I drop him or something? I winced at the thought of hurting him. What if I held him too tight or something?

Nate, you wont drop him, because if you do Ill rip your head off, Anna teased, slipping her hands under the baby and picked him up, holding him out to me. Id held a couple of babies before because my cousin had twins, but that was a long time ago. I cradled him in my arms and just looked at him. He didnt even stir in his sleep. He definitely felt like my kid a little too and I would make sure that he never wanted for anything.

So Nate, we were wondering if you wanted to be Camerons godfather, Ashton said.

I looked up at him, shocked, he was sitting back on the bed with Anna, smiling and holding her hand proudly. Me, be Camerons godfather? Wow, that was a big responsibility, Id have to teach him things and buy him stuff! I cant believe they would ask me, they know what Im like so why the hell would they choose me? Im sure there are other people more suited to that role than me!

Seriously? Me? I asked, looking to see if they were joking. Maybe this was a prank or something and they would both start laughing any minute.

Anna nodded, Yeah you, Uncle Nate.

I couldnt help but laugh when she called me that. I loved that, Uncle Nate. That sounded awesome! Id love to be his godfather, Id never let anything hurt him and Id always be there for him too.

Id love that. Thank you guys, that really means a lot to me, I managed to force out. I looked back down to the little baby in my arms, Hey Cameron, Im your Uncle Nate, and when youre old enough Ill show you all my best moves to help you get girls, I said quietly, hoping that Anna wouldnt hear me. I bet I would get a slap round the head for that little remark, turning her baby into a player like me. She didnt seem to mind though; both her and Ashton started laughing.

I looked up to see them smiling at each other so lovingly that I was almost embarrassed to be in the room, I felt like I was intruding somehow. They did that a lot, not that I blame them really. It was almost ridiculous the love that they felt for each other. I never really wanted to settle down before but looking at them looking at each other like that, while I held a tiny little baby in my arms, I couldnt help but want that too. I wanted someone to look at me like that and share their secrets with me without even saying a word.

The door opened interrupting my little internal monologue. I turned round to see an extremely hot looking girl walk in. She had reddish brown hair that was pulled back into a messy twist with tendrils escaping around her pretty face, and big brown eyes. Her body was smokin hot too. She walked up to the bed and I couldnt do anything other than watch her as she hugged and kissed both Anna and Ashton. Why the hell have I not met this girl before?

She turned to me and grinned, holding her arms out for Cameron. Hi, stop hogging the baby, she joked.

Who the hell are you, and why dont I have your number? I smirked at her, waiting for her to giggle and blush or something. She didnt. Instead she rolled her eyes and sighed.

Uh-oh, slut alert, she stated sarcastically.

Oh my God! What the hell just happened? Did she just give me the brush off? Holy shit! Thats never happened to me before, ever! Had I lost it somehow? I was even still wearing my uniform.hmm, maybe she couldnt see it because I was holding the baby or something.

Anyway how the hell did she know I was a slut? I raised one eyebrow going for the $exy, cocky, approach. Girls really fell for that one. Excuse me extremely hot woman that I dont know, Im offended by that. You dont even know me. I mean, how can you just come in and make judgment on me based on one thing I say? I said faking hurt.

She smiled teasingly. Im pretty good at reading people and my guts telling me youre a player, if Im wrong then I apologise. Getting back to the matter in hand, can I please hold my best friends baby? She stepped closer to me and held out her arms again for Cameron.

Holy shit, she did it again! Another brush off. Wow, I was seriously losing it. Maybe this was a dream or something and I would wake up and everything would be normal again, the Nate magic back and in full swing. This girl was scaring me a little how un-interested she actually was. I could smell her perfume as she stepped closer, it was intoxicating.

Sure, one date and hes all yours. I grinned hoping to convince her.

Sure, how about February 30th, Im free that day. She smirked at me. Wow, okay, now this was kind of a turn on. Id never had anyone turn me down before; I actually quite liked it in a strange kind of way!

I laughed and moved my arm slightly so she could take the baby from me. Youre funny and hot, I like it. She didnt respond, just looked down at the cute little bundle in her arms, her face softening and her eyes watering slightly. Damn, this girl was fine!

Oh, hes so beautiful, she cooed smiling. She sat on the end of the bed. I want one! she laughed.

I decided to turn on my A game, this approach never fails, girls loved commitment comments. I could help you out with that if you want.

Sure player, you gonna steal me one from the nursery? she teased, smiling.

Okay so that earned me a smile, not exactly the usual response but Id take what I could get! Sure you want a boy or a girl? I joked.

She giggled and I felt myself relaxing. Damn, she had me doubting myself for a couple of minutes there! Wow, that was a close one; I honestly thought Id lost my mojo then! We sat talking about the baby and his name for a little while, I tuned out when Anna was talking to the hot girl about what it felt like to give birth, I really didnt need to know that! Most of the time I kept stealing little glances at Annas friend, she was really pretty and was actually really funny too. I could see why Anna liked her; she was definitely a lot of fun. After a little while Anna yawned but put her hand over her mouth, trying to cover it up. I instantly felt bad, shed been through a lot today and probably just wanted to rest, not talk to us.

Im gonna let you guys have some peace. I stood up and looked at the girl sitting next to me; Id officially been introduced to her, so I knew her name was Rosie. Id heard about her before and knew that she was Annas best friend in college, but other than that I knew nothing about her. I wanted to though. Want to get some late dinner or something? I asked her hopefully.

She looked at me, a little undecided, before she smiled and I couldnt help but smile back. Sure, Im pretty hungry actually. She stood up and hugged Anna and Ashton, before bending over the crib and kissing my little godson.

When she was out of the way I shook Ashtons hand, grinning at him proudly, being a dad definitely suited him. I kissed Annas cheek before turning back to Rosie. She smiled and headed out of the door and I followed eagerly behind her watching her ass. Damn, that is one fine ass and I am definitely going to tap that!
