Falling Into Russian Arms
Chapter 1
AN: Hello everyone this is my first Boondock Saints story and I haven't seen the films either so go easy on me, this is au after the first film.
Connor and Murphy would do anything to protect people, they are the Saints after all. But what if that entails them marrying two women that they know nothing about and are daughters of the Russian mob? Connor refuses to accept it while Murphy just lets it happen. The girls turn out to be a surprise to them. As everything starts to go wrong, they are forced to protect the two women. Co – Written with MistressLoki618.
Murphy McManus and his twin brother were in his father's office wondering what the hell their da had asked them to come here for.
"What the hell are we doing here?" Murphy grumbled.
Connor MacManus stared at his twin brother, he was equally curious as to why they had been told to come here.
Connor and Murphy sat respectfully still as they waited for their father to speak to them. He had to have a decent reason for calling them there and demanding their full attention. Noah MacManus stared back and forth between his two sons, his twin boys, and sighed; there would be no easy way to tell them what he had planned. He knew they would reject the idea almost instantly.
"You boys are probably wondering why I've brought you two in here. Am I right?" He asked them and they nodded.
"Why are we here anyway da?" Connor asked annoyed.
"You and Connor are getting married."
Both of the boys jumped to their feet with looks of shock, "What are talking about Da? Married?"
Noah pushed his hand through his whitened hair, "I have decided it is best for both of you."
Connor scowled, "How is it best for us? Who have you even picked?"
Noah glared at them sharply "The young ladies names are Amelia Rosa Marikisky and her younger sister Sonja Isobel Marikisky." He told them firmly.
Murphy frowned; he'd heard that surname before.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU MARRIED US TO THE DAUGHTERS OF THE RUSSION MOB?!" He yelled shocked.
Connor was the silent through the whole thing, silently exploding about the news inwardly, how could his father do this to them? He put his hand on Murphy's shoulder, "If Da decides it is best, then we must do it."
Connor gave Murphy a specific look and they both understood the other. Connor was in now way taking this well and planned to find a way around it when they were no longer in their father's presence. Connor asked his father, "And when is this to happen? When do we meet the ladies?"
Noah looked at them knowing that Connor was looking for a way out of the marriages. "You meet them tonight at dinner where you'll both meet them. Be kind to them as they are nothing like their father and dress properly. And don't look for any loopholes for there aren't any." He added before leaving the room.
Murphy watched him go feeling pissed off "We're fucked."
Connor turned to his brother, "Not yet, my brother. There is always a way out for us. We just have to find it."
Murphy shook his head, "Da knew that we were planning on finding a way out."
Connor said, "He is our Da, of course he knows, but we won't let that stop us."
Murphy nodded as they both defeatedly walked out of the door.
"Wonder what our wives look like? Do you think they're Catholic?" Connor asked Murphy as they went into the sitting room to see a tall, dark haired man with dark green eyes staring at them.
"Connor and Murphy MacManus, my two future son - in laws." The man said calmly as he lit up a cigar.
The boys stared at the man that would be family if they couldn't find a loophole. They didn't like the fact that this man seemed so easy in addressing them so formally. Connor spoke nicely though, "Mr. Marikisky I presume?"
The man nodded and held his hand out to the two.
Connor wearily shook his hand first then Murphy shook his last as they watched him carefully.
"I wanted to talk to you about my daughters Amelia and Sonja." He said calmly.
"What about them?" Connor asked cautiously.
"How you are going to treat them." Mr Marikisky said calmly.
Connor and Murphy glanced between each other before they turned back to the man. Connor was surprised by the question, "Well even though we don't like the idea, we are gentleman. We will make the most of it I guess."
Murphy scoffed slightly at Connor's words so Connor elbowed him gently to silence him.
"So you won't beat them?" He asked them calmly.
Connor and Murphy's faces held the horror of the man's statement. Murphy sputtered, "For the love of God man, we would never harm two innocent women."
Connor smacked him, "Lord's name Murph."
The man looked relieved by the boys words and his anxiety of the situation began to dissipate.
"I have done unholy things in my life but my daughters mean the world to me. I wish to tell you some things about them. If that's alright?" He asked them quietly.
Connor and Murphy both nodded for him to tell them. They had to admit, admit they were both curious about the two women they would be tied to.
"Amelia is my eldest daughter and is the most stubborn of women but she loves dearly and is a good woman. She's twenty six years old." He said proudly and they could both see the love in his face as he spoke of his children.
Connor asked the obvious question, "So which one of us is stuck with her?"
"You are marrying her Connor and I expect you to treat her well." Marikisky said and paused "Sonja is a young woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and my name is Yuri." He added.
Connor laughed, "Of course I get Amelia since I'm the oldest."
Murphy shoved him playfully, "You wish you were the eldest."
Yuri, the girls' father, was staring at them strangely. Connor and Murphy both shrugged sheepishly, "Sorry. We always fight over who is oldest since we are twins."
Yuri nodded in understanding as he turned to look at them both and handed them each a photo of his daughters.
"The one you have is Amelia and the one Murphy has is my youngest daughter Sonja."
They both stared at the pictures, the girls were anything but ugly. They were actually downright beautiful, even if they were the daughters of a Russian mobster. Maybe they could make the most of this situation.
"Damn check my wife out she's fucking beautiful." Connor said looking at the photo and saw Yuri smile slightly.
"Amelia is protective of Sonja and she is protective of Amelia." He said fondly.
"Are you married?" Murphy asked.
Yuri spoke sadly, "I was yes, but sadly I lost my wife. It is why I am so protective of my daughters and why I need two men who can keep them safe."
Connor and Murphy looked at each other for a minute "Can we meet them?" Murphy asked quietly.
"At dinner you can, which is soon, so I suggest you go get ready," said Yuri.
Both boys were a little apprehensive about actually meeting the two girls. They had never really been nervous around women but now suddenly they were.
Amelia Maria Marikisky was nervous as she looked at herself in the mirror.
Sonja walked into the room she shared with her sister, "Are you ready for this date?"
Amelia glanced back at her sister, "No I am not, not but father didn't give us much choice in this whole thing."
Sonja walked up next to her sister in the mirror, staring at her reflection. She wanted to make sure she looked presentable before she met these two men.
Amelia looked at her younger sister then. Both had dark emerald eyes and while Amelia's hair was a beautiful black. Sonja had also had raven black, glossy locks only she had loose curly hair while her older sister's hair was wavy.
Neither were ready to face this. Amelia put a hand on her sister's shoulder, "let's get this over with."
Sonja took one last look at herself in the mirror before she sighed and followed her sister out the door.
She smoothed down her black satin cocktail dress as they went into the dining room to wait for their guests.
They sat down at the table to wait, and it didn't take long. The door to the dining room opened and in walked two men.
The first man was tall and had dark blonde hair with deep blue eyes and his walk was confident as he walked over to her while the other man walked towards Sonja,
Connor and Murphy MacManus, the Saint brother vigilantes.
Both girls were slightly afraid because they knew who these two were. They had killed people, people like their family. But damn both of the men were gorgeous, even for Irish men that were the Saints.
"We are so fucked." Sonja said alarmed as the man looked at her.
"Hello lass, my name is Murphy MacManus." He said to her and Sonja stared at him shocked, he was tall like his twin brother only he had dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes as he met her emerald green ones.
Connor watched his brother introduce himself to the younger girl. He grinned as he looked at the older woman, "I'm Connor MacManus. And you must be Amelia. "
She nodded as they summed each other up with a look. He turned to the other girl, "So why are you fucked up lass?"
Amelia blinked at him confused "I beg your pardon?" She asked confused at his question.
Connor smiled at her confusion "Why do you look so dolled up?" He asked as his father and Yuri came in
The boys turned to the two men coming into the room. He was surprised to see them come into the room. They had thought they would be alone to get to know the two women but apparently the two fathers had other ideas.
"Amelia, Sonja. It's been far too long since I last saw you two lasses." Noah said affectionately as the two young women hugged him warmly.
"It's wonderful to see you again Noah." Amelia said softly, Connor could detect a slight Russian accent.
Sonja smiled at him warmly "How have you been Noah?" She asked as they all sat down.
The boys turned to their father, "How the hell do you know them? Is there something you aren't telling us?"
Noah stammered a bit, "Um..."
The boys awaited an answer from their reluctant father.
"I'm the girls godfather and I knew Yuri before you boys was born." He said firmly as a woman brought in glasses of wine.
Murphy couldn't believe what he was hearing; their father was best pals with a man linked to the Russian mob?
Neither believed Noah's words, how could he be friend's with the likes of the Russian mob? Connor asked, "Why are we just hearing of this now?"
Noah nonchalantly shrugged, "It wasn't of importance yet."
Murphy growled, "So now that we have to marry these two girls, now it is important?"
Noah nodded as he sipped his wine. Both boys looked at the wine like it was pure evil though; they wouldn't drink something that wasn't their beer or whiskey.
Sonja looked at Murphy "Would you like something else to drink?" She asked softly.
Both boys answered at the same time, "Whiskey."
The girls smiled as they wandered off to try to find some for the boys.
They found a large bottle of whiskey and headed back to the dining room.
When the girls walked back inside the dining room, Noah looked at his boys,"If you drink that, you better behave yourselves."
The twins just grinned widely and mischievously, "Of course Da."
They all said grace before starting their meal.
After Grace, the boys dug into their food. It was absolutely amazing. Connor looked at the two girls, "This food is amazing. What is it and did you make it?"
"Its Russian toad in the hole and we made it." Sonja said quietly.
Murphy grinned, "Well it's amazing."
Connor nodded his approval to the two girls.
Sonja smiled at Murphy and was startled when he gave her a devilish smile in response.
Connor saw the look between his brother and the younger girl. It was easy to see how a guy could fall for these two women, but he couldn't forget who they were. They were the daughters of the Russian mob; this could just be some kind of trap or betrayal.
"So Amelia, what do you do for work lass?" Connor asked curious.
Connor sipped his glass of whiskey as he waited for her answer. She smiled slightly, "I'm a lawyer actually."
Connor had to cover his mouth to keep the drink from spewing from his lips. Her being a lawyer was like an oxymoron. He nodded and then asked Sonja, "What about you?"
Sonja smiled slightly making her eyes glow "I'm a ballet dancer. But I'm a charity worker as well with my own charity."
Connor and Murphy shared a look of surprise; these girls were saints in their own rights. This was just a downright confusing situation.
"What's the charity for lass?" Murphy asked eating some mash as he looked at her.
Sonja was quiet for a moment "Helping pregnant women and ones with families against domestic violence." She said meeting his eyes evenly.
"What about you Amelia? What's your job as a lawyer?" Connor asked.
"Child abuse."
Connor spoke, "Well aren't you two angels."
Amelia scowled, "You don't have to poke fun. We love what we do and we are good at it."
Murphy spoke up, "Lass you are mistaken. Connor meant what he said, it wasn't in jest."
"Well we've experienced what these women and children have and we want to make a difference." Sonja said as a maid brought in dessert.
"What's that?" Murphy asked staring at the delicious dessert.
Sonja smiled at the boys and their fascination with the food, "Its Tiramisu. Not Russian, but still an amazing dessert."
Amelia said, "So I guess the way to a guy's heart really is through his stomach with the way you both keep eyeing all the food?"
Everyone in the room instantly started to laugh at Amelia's words. Connor nodded, "Yes, we do love food. Especially when it has been homemade."
"I miss ma's homemade apple pie." Murphy said tucking in as he saw a black husky walking into the room silently and sitting by Sonja's feet.
"Whose dog is that?" He asked curious.
Connor was meanwhile watching as a family of cats walked into the room with five kittens behind them.
Connor asked, "Whose cats are those?"
Sonja smiled, "Well the dog is mine of course."
Amelia waited for the cats to cone to her, "And the kitties are mine."
"Well shit, I hope the cats don't claw at me." Connor said as a black cat purred at him.
"Hello Clyde." Amelia said warmly.
Connor growled slightly, "Cats and dogs...great."
Murphy seconded the statement but their father silenced them with a look.
Dessert was finished then with Amelia and Sonja clearing the table when Murphy spoke "I'll help you wash up lass." He said following her while Amelia stayed behind with Connor Noah cleared his throat.
Connor turned to his father, "Are we allowed to get better acquainted before we are forced to marry? Or is this an immediate thing?"
Noah looked at Yuri who nodded "You all can get to know each other better." He said softly and took a sip of his wine as he and Yuri started to talk quietly.
Connor looked at Amelia "So did you and your sister live in Russia or did you stay here?" He asked as they sat down on a sofa.
"We stayed in Russia until our mother was murdered and dad moved us here to New York." Amelia said as memories stirred in her mind.
Connor leaned closer to the woman, careful not to let the two older men hear him, "Why would you agree to something like this? It's barbaric and an old tradition."
Amelia met his eyes, "Why would you?"
He sat back in his chair, "I haven't agreed to anything. We are just being good sons by doing what we were told...for now."
"My father has done terrible things but I and Sonja love him. We're all he has after our mother was killed in Russia, it nearly killed him." She said touching her necklace absently.
Connor looked at her "How did she die?"
"She was killed by an FBI Agent called Eunice Bloom."
Connor didn't know what to say, they knew who she was. Eunice was their cop friend Paul Smecker's protégé. He didn't think the girl would like hearing that so he sat silent, unsure of how to continue the conversation.
"Mom saw her dealing with someone called Joshua and when she didn't come home, dad looked for her and found her body."
Connor frowned, "I'm sorry that happened to you lass. No one should have to go through that."
"What about you, is your mother still alive?" She asked looking at him intently.
Connor looked away.
He sighed, "No."
He saw her opening her mouth to ask the obvious question but he answered before she could say anything, "I would rather not talk about it."
Amelia nodded "I understand." She said softly.
"How old are ya?" He asked her.
"You tell me how old you are and I'll tell you my age." She bargained.
He laughed at her playful demeanour, "I'm 29."
Amelia smiled "I'm twenty seven." She said quietly pulling some strands of black wavy curls from her face.
Murphy and Sonja washed the dishes in a comfortable silence as Murphy glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
Sonja could feel Murphy glancing at her and she blushed slightly at the thought. He caught her blush spreading across her cheeks, "What has you blushing like that?"
She shook her head as she said, "Nothing."
Murphy chuckled, "If you say so lass."
They finished washing up and Sonja placed the dishes in the dishwasher as she fed the animals and looked at him.
"How old are you?"
He said, "I'm 29. Connor and I are twins. What about you?"
Sonja smiled warmly "I'm twenty five years old." She said as they went back into the dining room.
