Two days after the wedding, Rebecca woke up feeling the excitement for the date night. Vincent had spent the day before dropping hints that did nothing to help her figure out what he had planned. The place was somewhere they had been before but only once. They would be eating but not a meal and the dress he had bought her that would hug her pregnant stomach, which he seemed to love, was not the “normal attire” for where they were going but he knew she would look beautiful in it so he bought it for her.
“Kert will drop you off to meet me later,” Vincent told her as he sat on the side of the bed. He had brought her breakfast in bed and they had laid in bed after until he got up to make her a sandwich for lunch before getting ready to leave. “I want you to spend the rest of day relaxing,” he gave her a pointed look. He knew that she had been restless lately and was always trying to find something to keep herself busy when she wasn’t work
Rebecca woke up in a bed that she didn’t recognize. She sat up and looked around not recognizing the room or anything in it either. She tried remembering what had happened. She had gotten ready for dinner and headed down to the lobby of the building where Kert had said he was waiting for her. When she could remember him holding the door open for her to get into the car and that was it.She threw back the blanket on the bed and stepped onto the expensive looking hardwood floor. She wondered if she should call for Vince. Maybe she had made it to dinner and fallen asleep afterward as she had several times lately. He could have brought her somewhere as a surprise for her. She walked to the door and tried to turn the handle but it was locked. “Vince?” she shouted. She knew that something serious had been going on lately and wouldn’t put it past him to lock her up somewhere. She for once, hoped that is what was happening, because the other option scared her
“Two days, Cazzo!” Vincent shouted while he paced in front of his father and brothers. “She has been gone for two days. Someone had better find them!” He threw his glass that he had just emptied into the fireplace.“It’s strange there has not been a ransom received,” Francesco pointed out to everyone.“That is what worries me, Padre,” Vincent nearly whispered. He had been thinking about that while he laid in bed the night before. If they wanted something, they would have requested it. The fast that they hadn't gave him a bad feeling that this was for revenge rather than gain.The door opened and everyone turned to watch Gio and Vanessa walk in. “Brother, anything?” Gio asked as he walked toward him. Vincent shook his head.“Nothing,” he seethed.“Vince you must stay strong, she will need you when we find her,” Vanessa laid a hand on his shoulder. He nodded. Gi
Rebecca was pacing. She felt like she had been doing so for hours. It was nearly time for them to bring her food and she was hoping to avoid Melina’s taunting this time. She was hungry and starting to think she would never get out of the situation. She felt like crying but knew that she had to stay strong.The door opened and she stopped her pacing to see the man that had been bringing her food, walk in. “Here’s your dinner, Rebecca,” he said placing the tray on the table that sat in front of the couch. Rebecca gave him a forced smile but said nothing. She hadn't spoken a word to him even once. She didn’t understand how someone could be okay with helping kidnap a pregnant woman. She watched the man walk back to the door before he stopped and turned back to her. “Milena said to let you know she will be in to speak with you in a little while.” Rebecca huffed.“Suddenly I have lost my appetite,” she said before kicking
Three Months Later “Rebecca are you ready?” Joni squealed as she ran into the kitchen. Rebecca closed the refrigerator and laughed at the look on her best friend's face. She wasn't sure who was the most excited about finding out the genders of the twins, Joni or Vincent. He had been bouncing around the house helping everyone with everything for the party. Rebecca was glad they had been able to get into the new house Vincent had bought to surprise her with, so quickly after everything that happened. When they left the house where Rebecca had been being held, Vincent had the doctor meet them at the house to look her over and make sure that her and the babies were okay. As soon as the doctor cleared her, Vincent took her straight to their bathroom. He filled the tub with bubbles and the nearly hot water that she loved before crawling in with her. They laid there her laying against his chest while he apologized a million times and she forgave him jus
The baby shower was a month later. Since Rebecca was getting bigger every day and so was Vincent’s excessive worrying over her, Lidia agreed that they could have the party at their house. Rebecca wouldn’t have to get into a car and drive into town, which made her sick most of the time, and Vincent wouldn’t have to send her guards with her before following her to the Lidia’s apartment anyway. Their place was lager anyway so everyone fit comfortably.Rebecca thanked everyone that came. She didn’t know nearly half of them but she had recognized them from the gender revel party along or from coming to the house with their men on occasions. She was trying hard to get to know every woman and so far, she hadn’t had any problems. Nadia had even offered to host a little party that would help with it but Rebecca had told her that she had already thought of that and would hold one as soon as all the baby and wedding craziness was over.Rebecca
When Rebecca woke up the next day, she flinched as she stretched. She was sore all over but for the first time in a few months it was a good kind of sore. She smiled as she looked at the ring on her hand. The afternoon and night before had been amazing she couldn’t ask for anything more.Vincent had pulled her up to their bedroom the second she said okay and pulled several suitcases from their closet. “What are you doing?” Rebecca asked him.“Packing,” he shrugged as he threw the suitcases on the bed and turned toward their closet to gather clothes. “Feel free to pack some of the outfits the girls got you for your shower,” he yelled from inside. Rebecca could practically hear his smirk and shook her head.“None of them fit me. They were meant for after the wedding when I was no longer pregnant with your spawn,” she sighed. Some of the excitement of their previous conversation was dying. Being reminded that she was huge and not sexy like she used to be was a real downer.“Hey,” Vincent
Rebecca woke up the day of the party because she was feeling uncomfortable. She was used to feeling comfortable most of the time lately. The last few weeks she had gotten even bigger. She was sleeping less and less because of the discomfort. Vincent had tried to help. He rubbed her back before she laid down and her foot massage started the moment her feet hit the pillow every night. He said nothing when she spent the night flipping and flopping just moved with her. When she finally had enough of trying, which was usually very early morning, he would get up with her. Filling the bath tub with warm water and relaxing oils that he had made sure were safe for her, he would help her in before he went to go make her breakfast. After helping her out of the tub and feeding her, he would rub whatever part of her body ached until she would fall asleep.She decided that she would get up and help Vincent today. It was a big day and of all days he deserved to be treated like he treated he
Fifteen Years Later“Momma!” Rebecca heard Ivy calling for her from the kitchen where she was making dinner.“Kitchen!” She shouted back. She heard stomping getting closer.“Momma, do you know what he did?” Ivy shouted as she entered the kitchen. Rebecca looked at her daughter seeing Vincent come in behind her.“I assume you're talking about your father,” she raised a brow at him. “What have you done?” She asked him.“What needed to be done,” he shrugged walking toward her to kiss her. Rebecca held her hand up to stop him though.“Nope. Tell me first.” Both parents looked at their daughter who was standing in the middle of the kitchen watching them.“You can’t forgive him for this one, Momma. I won’t,” she crossed her arms over her chest.“Princess, I did it to protect you,” Vincent told her.
