Annie's POV
I'm... I am pregnant. There is no way that this is going to be the last time, but it's also not the first time. I missed out on so much with Lilly. I won't miss a single thing with this one. I can actually bond with this child while it's in me. I don't have to hold back my feelings or my emotions when it comes to this pregnancy.
I don't have to hide this baby from its father, or me. This is a whole new start. Oh, this is a whole new start. There is no taking it back. If Jenny is also pregnant, we are all going to have our hands full. The way this road has taken us so far, I wouldn't be surprised if it all came crumbling down.
I look at the test again as I lay on the couch, cuddled up to both Jas and Jordan. The two of them are rubbing my belly and talking to it as Lilly looks at the two of them, like they are crazy. She gets up and, after checking that Jonas has a few toys to play with, makes her way to us.
"So, that stick you peed
Jordan's POVAnnie is pregnant, Jenny isn't. The stress of finding that out has put a strain on Jenny. It's not like we need a lot of kids, we already have so many. I think Jenny just needs to forget that she is not pregnant and do something fun.She's been stewing on this for a week or more now. Just sitting at home and letting time pass her by. She shows us her sadness, but not the kids. I get downstairs where she is sitting on the couch, before the kids all wake up. Her tears send me into action mode."Jenny, you know it's going to happen sometime, in the meantime, we need to get you out of the house. What do you say to going to the park with the kids today?"At the word kids, her eyes glisten and she just cries even more. Today is going to have to be a me and her day. I shoot a text off to Jas, letting him know that him and Annie have the kids today. Jenny and I will be heading off to do something, anything but sit here and whine about the
Jas' POVI just got off the phone with him... As I hold a baby in my arms and a bottle in the other, I have no choice but to have Annie answer the phone and put it on speaker."What the hell, Jord? I just got off the phone with you a few minutes ago."The way her breathes into the phone tells me he's on speaker too. "It's her... she's fucking back, Jas."The tone in his voice is all I need to hear to know that we need to lock the doors and get everyone accounted for. "On it here, Jord... how's Jenny?""She fucking gave her a drink of some sort. I'm enroute to the ER now. I need you to get the mansion on full lock down."I nod my head and shout, "Already started. Get our girl safe, and I'll get the protocol ready."I hang up this time, making sure that each and every door is locked and each bullet proof window is sealed. I leave one guard at his post inside the gate keepers box. Everyone else gets to come in here with Annie, the kids,
"Mom's" POVThese boys are so un-fucking-believable. I gave them life. I made them exist. What more could they want from me? I see they've found something they like, so I need to do my best to take it from them. They will never be able to get rid of me.I sit here and rub my hands as I watch one of my sons taking one of their women out on a date. Seeing an opportunity, I grab a drink tray and put just one drink on it. I make my way over to one of the twins my boys are fawning over.She is so dumb, she takes the bait and chugs it down, not thinking anything of the fact that I told others they couldn't take it, but I gave it to her so willingly. Now, this drug may or may not kill her... that isn't important to me.I walk away and watch from the sidelines as my boy sees his girl go down. The concern he shows for her is something I was hoping to see. I want to see him in pain. I want to see him saddened to the bones. The man gives me a
Annie's POVHow could this all be happening? I have seen nothing but trouble my whole life, but the amount of drama this relationship has caused me is insane. I hold my two children close as Jas talks to the men who were already on the outside almost constantly, while holding us.I have no idea how many emergencies we have caused each other, but eventually this will all stop, right? It has to. I feel the first tear start to fall and then a cascade of them hit me. Not my own, but Lilly's."Lilly, what's wrong?""I just wanted to go out and play. Why can't I just play?" She wipes her eyes as she says this."Sweetie, we have to keep you two safe, first, then, when we get the all clear, we will be able to play outside all the time."Lilly just sighs and relaxes into me and Jonas as she accepts the way things are right now. I look up at Jas and he just shrugs. We know the drill. We've had far too many emergencies to take any chances. The th
Jordan's POV"Any news, bro? Why are you calling? Is everything okay with Jenny?"The worry in my brother's voice is frightening. I don't know how to tell him that, although nothing is wrong, nothing has changed, either. Jenny is just as she was when we left the park. I can't believe I let this happen to her.Having barely left her side since we got in the ambulance, I look at our clasped hands and tell Jas, "No change. She's exactly as she was when we left the ambulance. I can't help but think that she may never improve, Jas."Jenny is laying there, lifeless, hooked up to machines. They are saying that she was dosed with enough to kill her, but somehow she is still alive. She isn't on full life support, just IV's and heart monitors. She is breathing on her own, but she isn't moving or eating. If she doesn't wake up today, they are giving her a feeding tube.I snap out of it to Jas' voice, "Hey! Bro, she is going to be fine. We have to have f
Jas' POVI look at the phone as Annie takes care of the littles. She has a little more pep in her step as we make our way down to the kitchen. Chef and his girlfriend will be happy to hear the news. When we get to the kitchen I see the two of them making out again."Again?" says Lilly her confidence always astounding me.Chef kisses his love once more before turning to Lilly and asking, "Did you want your breakfast or not?"She giggles as she makes her way to the dining room table. "I do want my breakfast, but with a little less make out sessions from you two."Chef raises an eyebrow as he says, "Just for that I am giving you less than I normally do... Until you apologize to us old people. We can kiss whenever we want."He gets a plate together and sets it in front of Lilly who looks at it with a face that shows all the offendedness she feels. "That is so little food." Chef raises his eyebrow at me then tilts his head to Lilly. "
Jenny's POVI look at the clock, waiting for time to pass as I feel better and just want to get home to my family. Jordan is by my side and I hear his phone go off with a text message. I look over at him and grin. "Anything I can help with?"He looks distractedly at the phone as he shakes his head from side to side. "Nah, just another text from Jas. We have a lot to work out while they keep you here. I still can't believe they need to keep you here for a whole week."I look at him and shrug. "They said I had to stay here, not that I couldn't have fun while we are here." I look at the door which is firmly closed and is one of the few with an actual privacy lock from the inside. "We could lock the door and..."Jord cuts me off as he sets down his phone. "Jenny, you have no idea just how serious this could have been. You could have been killed. They still don't know exactly what was used to poison you. It was a trace of something in your blood and it knocked
Unknown POVThose idiots are never going to see this coming. I should have fired the idiot I had leading the whole mafia, while I was out. He was useless and motivated only by his penis. My son, young as he is, will get this all sorted. Until then I have some management to do. There is no way we should let them get away with this.Those boys have gotten away with more than their dad ever did. I had to go away, so that my older son's could ruin the whole operation. I need to set it back up from the ground. This way, when my new prodegy takes over, I will be known as the man who brought it back up from nothing.Now, I just need to play along with this crazy woman for a few... when I'm done with her, she will be just as gone as her boys."And that's how we get them, Jerry. Don't you think that's a great idea?"I just nod and let my mind continue wandering. The woman is annoying as fuck and I may just take her out before she has a chance to really see any of her work take root. "Yeah, yea
