I had gone from pissed to ecstatic in the space of a few minutes.
Seeing Ana come up behind that bastard, I think my breath stopped. I shouted through the gag to get his attention on me, knowing what her plan was. Scared to death that he could turn and take out my whole world.
We had been in the middle of a meeting when Mark came over with a round of drinks that we had ordered. Three fucking years he had worked here and this is how it ended. He was vetted like any other person who works for me. You cant just come into my club as a bar man, you work your way up which is what he did from the club downstairs and only then will you get upstairs if you can be completely trusted.
Some fucking trust. He had spiked our drinks and even though we were all still conscious, it was like my head and limbs were too heavy for my body and we were quickly over powered.
The drug, what ever it was didn't last long but being tied to a chair in the process and our guns taken, we were powerless for that time or so they thought. They might have taken my gun but when we all went down so did the drinks that he had brought over causing the glass to smash on the floor.
A small sliver had sliced my hand which was enough to start on the rope with when he was giving his speech. As David reached me I was almost through.
Calling my wife a whore was the worst thing you could ever call her. She was my princess, the mother of my boys and a complete angel.
"Hows your hand" Elliot asked me as I showed him.
"All patched up and kissed better."
"I cant believe our girls, fuck I almost had a heart attack seeing Kate there."
"Tell me about it, our wives always seem to be saving our arse" I smiled knowing how lucky we were to be married to those sisters.
"We should hire them out. Fuck Charlie's Angels we can have Grey's Angels" I looked to him thinking he had lost the plot.
"Your out of your mind."
"It was Ros who suggested it" he told me laughing.
"Ros can fuck off. If you think I am going to let my pregnant wife in any more dangerous situations then you have gone crazy."
"What the fuck did you say" he looked to me shocked.
"Yes you heard right, Ana is pregnant" I smiled widely, I'm a lucky lucky man. " I though you were there when I told the parents."
"I followed you outside when you went to get the boys, Alex wanted to play outside longer until he needed the bathroom and then we had dinner. How did you tell them."
"Just shouted to mum that she was going to be a grandma, I owe her a mug" he was laughing with me until I spoke again.
"You need to get Kate pregnant again."
He choked on the bottle of water he was half way though.
"I would love more kids but Kate wants to wait. She said Alex wears her out."
"El, he is a perfect mini version of you. I can understand what she means because the only time you will ever be still is in your box."
"No, I'll be sure to twitch just to scare the shit out of you. Anyway enough about our bodies, after today I am ready to make someone else's body dead."
We pulled up at the warehouse, nodding to my dad who was waiting for us.
"Ethan staying at home" I asked him as he nodded.
"That's fine, if Ana was that far along I would be there too" I don't want to even think about them losing another baby.
Jason was here working over Mark now as Reynolds was at the sink washing the blood from his hands. Jason was pissed because he recommended that Mark be brought up, he is taking it personally and ignoring the fucker who insulted my wife.
"Have they said anything" I ask Jason who shakes his head.
"Apart from pleading for his life which was forfeit the second he started working with these two."
"You think you've won don't you Grey, you have no idea what is coming for you especially that delicious wife of yours" I turned to face the leader who I know is called Isaac.
"Why don't you enlighten me then" I said circling him and pulling his head back by his hair.
"You pissed off the wrong people Grey and they will pick you off one by one. Hitting you where it hurts the most, Your wife and children" the fucker started laughing until my fist connected with his mouth.
We have had threats to my wife before and they have all been dealt with, our way.
My punches rang out around the room until he started to loose consciousness. Picking up the bucket of cold water, I dumped it over his head.
"Who are you working for" I asked him before turning to his brother that was barely conscious thanks to my wife's amazing shot. It the bullet doesn't kill you the blood loss from the open wound certainly would.
She still won't shoot to kill if she can help it but if she had too, I know she would where her family are concerned.
"Do you have something to say" I asked him pressing down on his wound. "Nothing. Pity"
Hearing his scream I turned to my trusted barman. He, I would get answers from.
"Why" was all I asked him, hitting him when he didn't answer. "I asked you a question why."
"Mmmoney" he stuttered. "I owed them money that I lost in a poker game when I was in Tacoma with my brother. I paid them the money back but they wanted more and more. They followed me to the club when I was working one night and realised it was your club" I was shaking my head, this was more than just about money.
"You recognised my wife, I saw it and so did she. You were going to tell them who she was, this is deeper that just money so DONT FUCKING LIE TO ME."
"DRUGS. They offered me all the drugs I wanted, if I got them in to the club. I'm hooked, I tried to stay away from them but I cant" he looked so defeated and I might have taken pity on him if he hadn't started all this shit.
I shook my head before stepping back, I noticed the shaking in the club earlier, thinking it was nerves, now I know it is something more.
"Who are they working for" I asked Mark as he told me, he didn't know.
"I will ask you one last time and you will answer. Who are they working for."
"A ghost is all they said. A ghost from your past" I looked to my dad wondering who had crossed us that was still breathing and coming up short.
Isaac started laughing like this was some joke so I took the shot and ended his miserable life right between the eyes before his brother and Mark met the same fate.
Rule number one in my organisation, we might sell drugs but you don't use them. What you do in your own time is your business but bring it into my club and threaten my wife and children, then you are going to have to deal with me.
I told Reynolds to arrange clean up as I walked to my dad.
"Any ideas" I asked him.
"A few, but not breathing any more. The drugs, do you think they are responsible" he asked me.
"Not sure. If they are, they are only a small part of it."
We have had the cops breathing down our necks for the past few months. Shit what am I saying, they are always breathing down our necks. Recently they have been stepping up raids of prospective crack houses, only to go in and find nothing. Thank fuck for Sam who is able to warn us before hand. But what is pissing us off more than anything is that drugs are hitting the streets that have nothing to do with us and have caused a number of deaths in the past few months bringing the spotlight down on us. My grandfather has threatened them with harassment charges because as usual they can't prove nothing.
We have guys out everywhere, watching to find out who is selling them but at the moment we are coming up blank. Someone is pissing in my pool and they are about to get drowned.
"Dad do you need a lift home" I asked him.
I need Ana in my arms at the moment. Her presence can calm me down like no other beside my boys.
"I'm fine son, I drove. Oh I didn't get to say it earlier but congratulations on my latest grandson."
Nodding. I headed to my car, sending a silent prayer to whoever was listening up there for a baby girl this time. I love my boys and I will love this little one no matter what sex they are but to have a mini version of my wife would be amazing. Then again a mini version of my wife will mean high security and trouble if any boy knocks on the door.
…
I opened the front door, immediately acknowledging the contrast from when I left this morning. Then, it was full of the boys chatter, dogs barking and my Ana singing to the radio. Now it was the clock ticking in the hallway and as I got closer, the page turning of the book Ana was reading mixed in with the dogs snores.
"Hi Hugo, old boy" I stroked his ear looking over to Ana where she was mentally checking me over.
The only wound I had was the one she had patched up earlier and the scrape on the head.
Hugo pushed his head into my hand, impatient for me to continue to scratch his ear before Vito wanted his turn.
"I need four arms" I said as Ana laughed when I was knocked into the back of the leg by Betsy.
"I thought Hugo would be upstairs."
"He was but came down because he needed to go out, he was on his way back up when you came in."
Hugo went over to Ana and placed his head on her lap as she stroked his ear. She thinks he is Theo's dog now as they are always together but I think Hugo will always be Ana's dog. The protectiveness is still there and he still likes to know where she is all the time.
"How did it go" Ana asked me as I was finally able to take a seat and wrap my arm around her.
"Do I need to ice these" she took my hand in hers and checked my knuckles over.
"They will be fine Ana, I promise. The warehouse was frustrating. Mark is addicted to drugs, this Isaac fucker was taunting me about you but he told me I had pissed the wrong person off and it was a ghost from my past."
"Christian you can't be in this business if you don't piss off some people."
"Do I piss you off" I asked her as she smiled.
"All the time" she laughed.
"And what do I do to piss you off" I asked her, pulling her onto my lap.
"Leaving the toilet seat up, falling asleep when you are going down on me and I am about to cum."
"Once Ana, once I fell asleep and I was too pissed to realised what my own name was let alone anything else."
"And that is why you are banned from bachelor party's for the duration of our marriage."
"So no more bachelor party's until the end of eternity then, its a good job that everyone I know in a relationship is already married then" I tickled her until she asked me to stop.
"Come and shower with me because I stink" getting off the couch, I picked Ana up and took her upstairs and into our bedroom before I asked her to put the shower on.
I left our room for a moment and walked down the hall to the twins room. My baby boys were fast asleep and oblivious to the drama that goes on in our lives. I want to keep it that way for as long as possible. Kissing both their heads and telling them how much I loved them, I left their room and pushed the door open to Theo's room as Hugo lifted his head up from his basket to see who had come in. He is an old man now, and a very important member of our family. He is still very active and I hope we don't ever have to face that day when he is not here any more.
I kissed Theo's head, telling him that I loved him too. He must have been dreaming about his dog as Hugo's name left his lips. Stroking Hugo's head I made my way back into our bedroom seeing the pyjamas Ana had left out for herself on the bed. She wont need them, so I put them back in the drawer and leave her one of my t shirts for if she has to leave the bed during the night to see to one of the boys. It is rare they wake up but it is there anyway.
Walking into the bathroom I see my wife's panties hit the floor, her bra followed before she stepped under the spray.
"Are you going to join me or are you going to stand there watching" she turned her back to me as I groaned seeing her perfect arse.
My clothes quickly joined hers as I stepped behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"We have another baby in here" I said placing my hands on her stomach as I kissed her neck.
"Our baby" she turned in my arms to face me and traced her name with our wedding date underneath that I had over my heart.
I wasn't one for tattoos but watching her give birth to Theo and then the twins I wanted them with me everywhere I go.
"You are going to have to add another name" turning my arms over, she traced first Luca and then Matteo's names on my forearm before moving onto my other arm where Theo's name resided.
"As soon as they are born I will have it done."
"I just hope this little one is ok, the thought of sitting by an incubator again" she shivered as I pulled her tight to me.
"Our children are as strong as their mother and this little one will be no exception" I placed my hand on her flat stomach, looking forward to when it is rounded with our child.
Getting out, Ana didn't even bat an eyelash that her pyjamas were gone as she climbed into bed naked.
She had redressed my hand again because no matter how much I try, I cant keep my hands off my wife in the shower and a wet wife means a wet hand.
"Tired" I asked her.
"Mmm, yes and I'm just glad I am not at the surgery until Friday this week and I can have a lie in tomorrow or more like today."
Ana normally works at the surgery on a Wednesday but today is our fifth wedding anniversary and I am going to wine and dine my wife and then make love to her all night. My parents were staying here tomorrow night and Ana and I were staying at the Fairmont where we will not be disturbed and we can have a lie in on Thursday morning.
"Night princess I love you so much, that you for saving my arse today" I told her as she giggled into my chest.
"Its my arse too you know" nodding I pulled her closer kissing her head. I am completely hers as she is mine, arse and all.
