Chapter 65 - Riko
Last Updated:
2021-07-28 18:00:19I’d been so nervous after I got off the phone with the boys. I was finally going to see them. I was excited, but then I remembered how bad I look. I almost wish they weren’t coming. I don’t want them to see me like this. My hair is a complete mess with the one side being shaved, and I haven’t even gotten to take a shower. I feel gross.
There was just no stopping them. If there is one thing I have learned in my relationship with them, they don’t stop when they want something. Hell, the fact we have a relationship is proof of that. They decided they wanted me, and they got me. I never thought I’d fall for them so quickly. But if how depressed I’ve been without them indicates anything, it’s that I have fallen and hard.
When they walked into my hospital room, it was like all the weight that was holding me down, and all those negative feelings just vanished

I chuckled as my brothers, and I moved to let Riko’s grandparents reach her. I know they miss her as much as we do. Maybe more, or at least in a different way. And if we learned anything about what not to do from Ryōta, it’s never keep her grandparents away from her. “Here, you should sit and rest your leg.” Mom insisted, bringing a chair closer. “Fine. I do this under duress. I don’t want to sit. I sit too much.” I grumbled but hobbled with one crutch into the chair. Everyone chuckled a little. “Trying having to stay in a hospital bed for a week and knowing you still have another to go.” Riko pointed out. “Oh, that’s true. I’m so sorry, baby. But hey, now we can visit so you won’t be lonely. Which reminds me.” I said, shifting in the chair to dig my phone out. “Well, I’m glad I can see everyone now. Though I can imagine it is going to be an issue when

It had been so nice to hear Cassidy’s voice and to talk to her. I’ll have to ask her what is going on with her and Collin because that is certainly new. I wanted to thank Forrest for thinking of calling her. But I didn’t get that chance. My father ruined that.The nerve of him to show up and then to yell at everyone to leave. Who the hell does he think he is to forbid me from seeing my grandparents and my boyfriends. I just wanted him to leave. I wanted all this tension and hostility out of my room and out of my life.And then it all exploded. He hit Elijah! HE HIT ELIJAH!!! How dare he hit him! I know he’d gotten into a fight with Darius while I was in surgery, but well, I have seen Darius angry. He’s scary. I still remember that first day at school when he slammed Lance into the table and forced him to apologize for grabbin

For the millionth time, I find myself wondering if Ryōta has brain damage and if he’ll ever realize his actions are hurting his daughter he claims to love so much. It’s been two days since he hit Elijah right in front of her. He keeps trying to see her, but hospital security keeps stopping him. The hospital has taken the stance that until the legal issues have been resolved and he has proven he will not cause further alterations on their property, he cannot be there, which is fine by me. I can’t stand that man. I’m trying. I truly am. For Riko’s sake, I’m trying not to hate him. But he makes it so damn difficult. Riko’s at least doing better now that people can visit her. We, of course, have gone to see her each day and plan to continue visiting her daily. Her grandparents have spent most of the last two days with her, though they leave to give her priv

This last week in the hospital was better. It would not take much to be better than my first week where I was in forced isolation. This week I had visitors every day. Mostly my grandparents and the boys. But Cassidy and some girls from school would come to visit.And then there was the fact my room suddenly felt like I was in a flower shop. I stopped counting how many bouquets I received. I got flowers, cards, and balloons from the baseball, basketball, and football teams. I didn’t expect that. I actually expected some of the basketball players to be angry because Forrest wasn’t able to play.Forrest, however, assured me that anyone upset that he couldn’t play wasn’t upset with me because it wasn’t my fault. He, of course, did add that if anyone ever implied or outright tried to blame me, he would happily beat them with

Unpacking her things from the hospital was quick enough. I made sure to open one of the curtains to let more light in for her flowers. I’m glad she chose to move in with our family. The option her grandparents offered of renting her an apartment would have its upside too, like more privacy. But then we wouldn’t get to see her all the time. And I’m looking forward to that. With her things put away, I took the liberty of carrying her down the stairs to the car. “You boys do realize I can walk and need to get used to using my crutches. It’s not like you are going to carry me up and down the stairs every day.” she sighed. “You know, for someone complaining, you are snuggling close to my chest.” I teased. She huffed, burying her face into my chest. “It's comfy here.” she muttered. I laughed as I carried her to the car and settled her into the back with Forre

Elijah and I had been in my bedroom with the door closed. My body was still tingling even with the metaphoric bucket of ice water Misses Frost dumped on us by coming home. I haven’t even officially moved in, and I had already broken one of Mister Frost’s rules. Now I know why he wanted that rule. He obviously knows that his sons are horny teenage boys. And he must have guessed how weak I am when it comes to them. Not that I regret what happened. Since the accident, I’ve been so down on myself, having Elijah tell me I’m beautiful and then having him show it. Well, it helped my confidence a little. I’d been so embarrassed when he stripped me bare and just stared at me. I’d wanted to hide from his gaze, but he wouldn’t let me. I shuddered a little as he set me down on the foyer floor, having insisted on carrying me downstairs at the memory of the heated look in

I had grumbled the entire time we were at dad’s office. He had some big case coming up and had Darius and me sorting through depositions. It was tedious as fuck. All I wanted was to be at home with Riko. Fuck I love saying that. Home with Riko. It is about the most right sentence ever. I wanted to be the one to stay home and help her unpack. I wanted to be there, helping her settle in. And I know I’m not the only one. Darius doesn’t want to be at work either. It seemed like forever when dad finally told us we could pack up for the day. “I swear if I have to look at one more piece of paper on this stupid case, I’m going to scream.” I grumbled as I followed Darius to our SUV. Dad had already headed to this car so that he couldn’t hear me grumbling. “And just think dad wants this to be our lives.” Darius

Maybe I should have taken my grandparents up on their offer of an apartment. The boys were making living in the same house difficult, and it was only day one. However, it was nice to sit down and eat a meal with all of them, even with their parents. I have to try harder, not so easily cave to these feelings they stir. I told Mister Frost I would abide by his rules while renting this room.Today was not a day I was looking forward to. Today I will be going back to school. I’d taken a shower last night and had my uniform set out for this morning. I was thankful that the uniform for girls was a skirt, so I didn’t have to worry about ruining a pair of slacks to accommodate my cast.But now, as I sat at my desk, dressed for school, I looked between the two wigs Misses Frost had insisted on getting me while I waited for my hair to grow back.

The Princes of Ravenwood Christmas Special Chapter 4 - Riko
Growing up as a military brat, I didn’t have too many holiday traditions. Unlike my husbands, who every year growing up knew they would go cut down a tree, and they’d go to the trellis lights event. We moved enough that it was hard to maintain traditions. But there was one that even after mom died, we kept alive. Cookies.I don’t have a lot of memories of my mom, but I do remember that every Christmas eve, no matter where in the world we were, she’d have me in the kitchen with her to bake cookies for Santa.Cranberry white chocolate and walnut jam thumbprint cookies were my mom’s go-to. I think because we could get the ingredients no matter where we lived.And since having our kids, I get to share that tradition. So right now, our kitchen is abuzz with activity. Elijah and I are working with Hikari, Saki, and Akio to make cookies. Darius is holding Ryū while Forrest is taking pictures.As an early gift, my dad ordered l
The Princes of Ravenwood Christmas Special Chapter 3 - Darius
My brothers and I are still reeling from how things went at the trellis lighting event. I mean, yes, the fact our sweet Hikari pushed another kid was jarring. And that kid’s mother… Joanie Walker was a piece of work. But all of that faded as the event progressed. All for the unlikely flirting between Reese and Don.When I invited Don to meet up with us at the event, I never would have guessed he’d hit it off with Reese in a million years. He’s certainly not her usual type. I’m not putting him down or anything. Don’s a great guy.I’ve never seen Reese even look twice at a guy who couldn’t at least stand a chance in an arm-wrestling match against her. Reese just came out of a bad breakup where the insecurities of lesser men once again got in the way. I don’t want Don to be a rebound.I just don’t know how to broach the subject with him or with Reese. I decided today I should just clear the ai

I have loved going to the waterfront for the light-up event since I was a kid. I loved it even more, when we started bringing Riko with us. Even if we got looks and people whispered about us. Those whispers didn’t get better after we started having kids. But I will never let the opinions of others impede my enjoyment of the event. As I was unloading the van, I felt arms wrap around me and literally lift me off the ground in a bear hug. “Hey, cousin!” Clay greeted, squeezing me harder. I rolled my eyes because this is just how my cousin is. He wants a reaction to indicate that he’s stronger than me. Which okay, he is. Like his father, Clay works hard in the construction company and has won some bodybuilding competitions. But I’m not going to give him the satisfaction of knowing he’s stronger than me. “Put my Bampás down,” Saki glared up at Clay and kicked him in the ankle. I snickered at my little girl coming to my rescue. “You gonna make me, p
The Princes of Ravenwood Christmas Special Chapter 1 - Forrest
In our family, there are only three traditions. The big holiday party at Frost manor has been a tradition since well the estate was built. But it was primarily a big deal in Hazel Frost’s day. It’s a big deal with the whole family and the influential people that run in the Frost social circle.Eye Roll! I could care less about rubbing elbows with politicians, lawyers, movie stars, and business owners of fortune 500 companies. They are not my style. And not really my brothers’ style either. We’ve been lucky the last few years to decline the invite because we have little ones. Before the kids, we didn’t get much choice but always ducked out early with Riko.The last time we went was the party the year we got married. We left after I decked Brant Jones for pinching Riko’s ass and asking if she’d like to give hi

When my husbands said they had a spa day planned, they really meant it. My day started with a body wrap, manicure and pedicure, facial, and then a couples massage where thankfully the staff didn’t say a word that it was me and all three of my husbands. I appreciated the lack of judgment.After our massages, my husbands sent me to change into an outfit of their choosing. I was a little concerned it would be something dirty and scandalous. But I found a beautiful sleeveless wrap dress with a flutter hem in a blush pink with floral print hanging in the changing room.I, of course, spoke too soon about the nothing scandalous part as I found a soft pink floral applique longline demi-bra and thong set where my maternity bra and panties had been. I sig
The Princes of Ravenwood Parents Getaway Chapter 7 - Riko
This getaway was more needed than I wanted to admit. I miss my children. God, I miss them. And that's why I feel like a terrible mother because a large part of me is happy to be away from them. Maybe I should see my therapist like my loving husbands have been suggesting since before Thanksgiving. I haven't wanted to admit it. But maybe I really do have postpartum depression. I don't want to feel this way. It isn't good for me. And it's not fair to my kids, especially Ryū. Why am I contemplating my mental health while wrapped in the warm, loving arms of Forrest at five in the morning? Because I woke up to my breasts aching, needing to be pumped, fighting my tears at how much I miss my baby. "Riko? Baby? What's wrong?" Forrest's groggy voice question

The glass-bottom boat was really cool. Getting that view of all the sea life in waters deeper than we were snorkeling earlier. We got some more great pictures to show the kids and other family members when we get back.I know Cassidy was miffed that we were going on this trip. Not that she said anything to us, but Collin grumbled about showing him up. I told him to step his game up. Can’t keep doing the same shit. He needs to keep her on her toes.Tonight we shared another dinner on the terrace of the villa together. We have a plan for tomorrow that will knock our wife’s socks off. And with luck, everything else she’s wearing. This was a getaway to remember. Great views, great food, and even better company. Yet, I still miss the kids. We’ll have t
The Princes of Ravenwood Parents Getaway Chapter 5 - Forrest
I miss my kids. I miss waking up to my girls jumping on my bed shouting for me to get up before they eat all the cocoa puffs. I love those little hellions. They are so mine it’s not funny. Not to say I don’t miss my boys. Hikari and his sweet smile and a big hug when I would get downstairs. I miss Ryū so damn much. His sweet baby smell and the weight of his little body as he slept on my chest. “Get up.” Darius grunted, shoving me out of bed. “Why are you and Elijah so mean. I’m going to enjoy not waking up to either of you tomorrow.” I grumbled, rubbing sleep from my eyes. “What, I thought you’d be missing your violent wake-up call from the twins. I’m not jumping on the bed, so this is the best you get.” Darius taunted that same devious gleam in his eyes our girls often have. I sighed and rolled
