Dizzy, that's what I'm feeling at this moment as I lay on the bathroom floor next to my boys. They lay tucked into the comforter, sleeping soundly.My eyes feel heavy, and I can't stop shivering. I feel like I'm going to die, and I can't give up now, not now that I have them to fight for. If I give up now, I'll be no better than her.Taking a slow breath I sit up and lean my back against the bathtub and reach down between my legs. The bleeding seems to have stopped a bit, but I know I have to finish and push out the placenta. Opening my legs a little more I wiggle until I'm almost lying flat on the floor and do a semi-crunch while using one hand to steady myself and the other to press on my lower abdomen while I push again.Slowly and less painfully then pushing the boys out I push a few more times than feel a slimy sensation squish out of me. Slowly I manage to get back to a sitting position and use the bathtub to get to my feet.Once standing I walk over to the shower and turn the w
"Can I help" my dad says as he limps forward a little.I nod and get up. Carter helps my dad to the floor and I watch as he slides both hands under the baby and picks him up and brings him to his chest. The baby starts to fuss again but my dad starts to hum and slowly works the jumper on. Once it's on he hands me the baby and carter help him up then with my permission picks the other baby up and cradles him close to his injured chest."Theres a deck outside this room, with a set of stairs that lead to the side of the cabin. If someone sees you run as fast as you can down the path. At the end of it you'll see a blue car, the keys are in the sun-visor" Carter tell us as he helps me down the stairs then goes back up and helps my dad."Why are you helping us" I ask as we make our way towards the path he mentioned.He doesn't answer. Carter holds my baby and keeps my dad upright as we move from tree to tree until we reach the path."This is where I leave you. Just keep walking down the pat
(After Marquez was captured)He took my place. He let himself be captured just to give me the chance to run.Marquez Santiago is a lot of things, but fool wasnt one of the words I would have ever thought to associate with him.I wait until night fall and slowly come out of hiding. The woods are still and quiet as I limp my way from tree to tree while holding my hand as tight as I can to my stomach. We were ambushed after I was able to meet up with him after sending him my location.The plan was for me to agree to go with Tatiana and join her in her twisted plans to take Marquez down by taking out their daughter. I’m bleeding again from all the moving I’m doing and I fear I will bleed out before I reach help.The sun is starting to rise and I see nothing but dense forest as I continue my staggered walk through the trees.I’m about to give up when I hear what sounds like motorcycles or ATVs of in the distance.With the little amount of strength I can muster I push myself forward until
(While Indigo was kidnapped) "What the fuck do you mean you can't get any fucking traces" I bark at Axel as he for the fucking tenth time tells me he can't find a thing on my beautiful."So, what the fucking ground opened up and swallowed her" I growl, so close to shooting him in the fucking foot, because if I shoot him in the fucking head, body or hand, he'd be useless to me. Okay that's a lie... id shoot him in the foot because he's my friend and I wouldn't want to have his blood on m y hand, like that."Dimitri, take a fucking walk and go check on your brother" Raven tells me through grit teeth.I point at her ready to explode when a woman I thought id never see again walks through the front door like she owns the god damn place."I say look what the cat drug in, but my cat doesn't like tuna" I tell her, earning a few chocked chuckles from Axel, Raven and a few others."Dimitri, given that I'm here to tell you where to find someone so very dear to your cold black heart id of thoug
(While Indigo was kidnapped)It's all your fault.It's all your fault.It's all your fault.It's a fucking montera that won't leave my fucking head, no matter how fucking much I drink.I've been down in the makeshift war room that indi would lose her shit if she knew it was set up in our living room.Indi, my gorgeous fucking goddess. Fuck, I never thought I would love someone as much as love her. ! would cut my own fucking heart out and watch with the last seconds of live that still beat in my veins as she took from my chilling hands, if that's what she needed to know how much I loved her.Now because of me her best friend is in the infirmary, there's a whole ass team downstairs ready to go to war for her and I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself.My uncle would be kicking my ass if he was till here. Hed call me weak and tell me. "We are men of power and strength, who are weak until we become whole" I would always laugh at that statement, because I never understood it."I get it
(Before she knew Indigo and Marquez escape) "The price was set at ten million each baby" I say, now outraged at the price being offered. "Come on Tatiana, it's a fare price, giving all the risk I'm taking to help you move them once their ready to be taken from their mother" Casova tell me. The risk, ha. What fucking risk. He's going to lose nothing if he can't move them, because he can sell them off bit by bit to black market organ dealers if he wants to, and make double what I would get if I sold them to someone on a wholesale type deal. "I want what was offered Casova or there's no fucking deal" I hang up and toss my phone on the bed. I'm twenty minutes from the house I have Indigo and Marquez at. I wanted to be able to relax between sessions, so I made the executive decision to leave Carter and a few highly trained men there as a precaution. I light the tightly rolled joint and sit back on the couch and take a lung full of smoke before releasing it. This is a hard life
Marquez - (While he's escaping with Indigo)Fuck I don't know how much further I can go. With every step I take I feel as if my bones crunch. When I’d gotten the call from Carlo with the local tag I went in. Carter had sent me a text telling me where the check points were. What I didn’t expect was the fucking bear traps set around the perimeter. The crunch of my bone and the pain of the dull trap snapping closed on my leg as I sat against a tree to hide from the spot light of what ever half assed men for hires my ex wife has on her dwindling payroll.I'm proud of her though, she not only has proven to be resilient but she just gave birth to the twins on the floor of a bathroom. I can tell by how pale she is that she lost a fare amount of blood. She needs a doctor and the boys need to be checked out. I'm not sure it's normal for them to be this quiet. When Indi was a new born all she did was cry.Or maybe it the luck of every parent or it could be that she passed on a resilience pa
(Present)I saw the car up ahead as I swerved around a tight bend at a fork in the road, I did slow down or even take my foot of the gas pedal, my only thought was to get to a gas station, mini mart store or anywhere there might be a phone so I could call my guys and let them know where we are.But as the car came up beside me fast, I knew who it was. Glass shattered around the back seat as the back window was shot out."Get down more" in tell my dad, knowing hell do what ever he can to keep the glass from falling on the boys.The road winds and bends from one dirt covered road to gravel then back again as I speed around corners and take turns as if I knew where the fuck I'm going. Shot ring out and hit the car every now and then as I take turns. At the end of the next turn, I see what looks like possible streetlights up a head and a few cars drive by."I'm not stopping imima keep my foot on the gas until we clear the intersection then park wherever I can that out of sight" I say."Ap
There’s two cars in the garage. The blue Audi the guard said to drive, but failed to mention the fucking hood was up on. Believe it or not a red Range Rover with beautiful rich tan interior.Not wanting to draw attention to my escape I push the hood closed on the Audi and get behind the wheel. With the key in the ignition I turn the car on and say a silent thank you to the dumb fuck guard who hung on my every word and trusted them enough to go to the even stupider Lopez brothers, who in turn found out that even if I was lying when I first started telling the guard the lie, it turned out to be more then true.Backing out of the garage to a wide bright lite space I do a quick turn around and start driving. It looks like I’m in some kind of underground tunnel, which is brilliant, given the lives we live.I take one turn and then another, then start to wonder how fucking long the tunnel is. The tunnel lights are now flashing red, which can only mean one thing….. they know I’ve escaped.Pr
There’s no sun down here, no light, no way to tell how long I’ve been here. The only way I can tell what day it even is, is by when food is brought to me.I’ve heard the guards talking about Indigo and her bastard twins. How they are doing and shit about how much the boys look like her as a-posse to Roman or Dimitri.I heard a guard say he doubted the twins where even their bosses so I being the honest woman I am. I started planting the idea of the twins not even being the Lopez’s sons.The guard who would come in and bring me my food had ignored me for the first few days but then slowly started asking me questions about how I knew they weren’t their bosses kids.I started by saying how Indigo has been secretly sleeping with Kevin way before she met his bosses.Then I started telling him how I had proof of secret little rondevuets where Indigo had been hiding an affair with Kevin and as a result made up the whole being taken thing and had everyone playing along to her little game as a
She smiles and laughs but the lights started to fade from her eyes when she does. I’m not the only one who’s started to notice it.“You’ll be up and running around before no time” Geo says with a chuckle as he hold Ace under his arms as Ace pushes up on his feet and stands in Geos lap.“Don’t let Indi hear you say that” Dimitri says as he walks into the living room.“Specking of Indi” Geo says with a raised brow as he looks between the two of us. “You guys ready to stand that end of the alter and wait for your girl” Fuck yeah I’m more then ready and would have married her already if it wasn’t for the whole arranged marriage and mafia law bullshit we have to deal with.Fuck j would have married her the first night I saw her if it hadn’t been for us being fucking pussies. Even now I think back to the first night we met her and wish we would have done shit different.“Two more days and she will be our wife” Dimitri says with a bright smile and nothing but love in his voice.“Any advice”
“The dress looks like it’s been painted on. I’m so jealous, I hope when I eventually get married and have kids my body snaps back and looks as good as your does” Kim says as she pins the last pin into place for a small alteration that’s need on the bottom.I thank her and go change back into my clothes when she tells me she’s done.I’ve known for a week and haven’t told Roman and Dimitri. I know I should and I was going to but I for some reason chickened out and made both Sean and Raven swear to keep their mouths shut.Carter, ever the loyal friend he’s become told me of some home remedie his sister told him about and thank fuck it’s helped ease the morning sickness.Today I can to the dress fitting alone, it was an argument, of course. But I managed to convince everyone to just let me be. My dad’s back in California and will be back for the wedding. Carlos still in recovery and is starting to walk again. He had to have surgery on his right hip. I gave him some shit about being old
I knew it.I knew it the second she wrinkled her nose at me when I asked if she wanted to go get some chili cheese fries from DiDis.They only made it five moths before knocking her up again. I mean if I was straight I’d be on her like an alcoholic at a free wine tasting. “What the hell am I going to do Sean” she asks from her spot on the floor in mine and Geo’s bathroom.Oh I didn’t feel you did I. I am now Mr. Geronimo, he did the whole mafia law thing then we got married. We did it all in secret and the only ones who knew about it were Indi her fuck boys and a few others from this weird group of a fucked up family.But back to my bestie.“I’ll wait. I’ll wait to tell them until the house is done and Tatiana has been delt with” she says.“The house won’t be don’t for another month or so and you have a dress fitting in a week” I remind her.She groans and leans into my side.“I didn’t start gaining any weight or show until I was four months, yeah I was eating as if I was on death r
Would you believe me if I said it's been a crazy five months. Five months and fourteen days. The twins have started to eat somewhat solid food, and Ares has his first tooth. Imelda says it means he's going to be a talker but I'm not so sure about that because the one who does all the babbling is Ace.After the day Indi left the boys with us for some reason, she has yet to tell us about, we started helping her out more. We get up, change nasty as fuck diapers and even stay up the nights the twins just won't go to sleep.Since the boys were born the construction at the other house has been speed up some. I just got a call about and hour ago that the main house which is our house is almost done and is ready for Indi to go through and pick the tiles, backsplashes (what ever those are) and what ever else she wants done to the rooms, out.Oh, did I mention we've been fucking like rabbits. Once she got the all clear I waisted no time bending her over the very same exam table Raven had examin
She just walked out. The what the hell just happened question is still up in the air and Dimitri and me are definitely not ready to be trusted with week old twins.“Imelda” I call out as I walk towards the kitchen where she usually is, and thank fuck she’s standing there by the island with a cup of coffee in her hand.I swear she drinks more coffee than a drunk at AA. “He won’t stop crying and Indi left an hour ago and isn’t answering her phone” I say rocking Ace.She tutts at me and keeps sipping on her coffee. “No le voy a ayudar. Me dejo en claro la miss que les dejara enseñarses cómo lidiar con los principitos” she shrugs and I groan when I hear Dimitri behind me with a now screaming Ares.“Arruenlos” Imelda says with a soft laugh as she continues to sip her coffee as if the twins screaming isn’t making her eardrums bleed.“Shh, shh, shh” I whisper to Ace as I bounce from one foot to the other like I’ve seen on TV. “What’s the fuck is that smell” Geo asks as he walks past Dimit
Raven, Carter, Axel and I climbed into the back of the waited SUV and drove to the new ‘compound’ as I’ve started calling it, Raven and Axel asked a million questions about why we were going there but I ignored them.Not that I ignored them in the literal sense of the word, but I ignored their questions about why we were heading there.Once we arrived the car stoped in front of what’s to be the front steps that lead to the front door of the house but we didn’t head to it, instead I take them to a building that I’ve called the war room, that’s right across the small driveway/road that divides the main entrance.In the back of the half finished building is a room I have claimed as my own and made sure the guys have stayed out of.“Raven, Axel” I say as I stand in the middle of the room. “What do you need to make this room completely sound proof, and device safe. I want this room to be one of those rooms where as soon as you walk into it your phone stops working completely. The only thin
Marquez-After Indigo was taken into the back office and Raven came out to ask for a way to get into the hospital’s supply room, I was sent back to Roman and Dimitri’s house to have my leg x-rayed and set in a cast. Now I hear they’re back but that Indi pulled some stunt on the highway and didn’t make it back to the house.Roman and Dimitri have asked Sean to ask Raven where Indi is but everyone around her is keeping her whereabouts under lock and key.Am I shocked she pulled a Houdini, no not really. She just went through something that could be seen as traumatic and has yet to really bond with the boys like she would have done if she had them here or even in an actual hospital.“Knock, knock” I hear a familiar voice say from the doorway.“Indi, my girl. I hear you have them going crazy and about to go on a killing spree to find you again” I pat my bed and she walks over and climbs on the bed next to me.“So why’d you hide” I ask her.She explains why she did it and the reason behin
