Eddie pov
I helped all of my main guys get their girlfriends and kids in the hotel then we left. We went to our hideout. It's hidden in an alley. We went into my office and I sat in my chair.
"What is it now?" Jerome asked.
"An enemy is back" I said.
"Who?" Alfie asked.
"Duncan" I said simply. The guys straightened up. Fabian already knew.
"What?" Jerome asked.
"Did I stutter?" I asked. He was about to kick the wall.
"Do not" I warned. He put his foot back.
"He tried to con us. What does he want know?" Mick asked.
"The same thing" Fabian said. I sighed. I really didn't want to leave Patricia and Ellie but I need to handle this.
"Go out and look for information. Force it if you need too" I said.
"We still having the thing tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yea, it'll be a nice time with the girls so they don't get angry at us" I said. Everyone nodded.
"Go" I said. They did. I got up and went to one of my safes. I had taken what I had from home and added it in here. Well minus what I gave to Patricia. She's probably a little shocked. It's nessacary. She'll need it though. I might not be there all the time. I looked at my watch. One in the morning. I would sleep but I have a few buisness things to take care of. I got one of my guns then left the safe.
This should be fun. I found my main guys. They were trying to find information on their phones. I told them to grab a gun and we can go. We got in one of cars. I started to drive. I drove to our "friends" place. When I parked We all got out. I hid my gun under my jacket. All the guys followed.
"What are we gonna do?" Fabian asked.
"Demand our money and if they say no we take it ourselves" I said.
"Cool" Jerome said. We went into the buisness. The guy who did the loan was there. He saw us and got all jittery nervous. I walked up to him.
"Where's my money?" I asked.
"I don't have it" he said.
"Not what I wanted to hear. I'll ask again. Where is my money?" I said backing him into the wall.
"I don't have it" he said. I heard a gun shot and turned around. Jerome had shot one into the air. It hit a chandelier. The chandelier started drooping. I smirked then looked at the guy.
"Where is it?" I demanded.
"I don't have it" he said. I had it. I pushed the guy to the ground and went to the back. A safe. I cracked it open. That lying bastard. I grabbed what he owed me and extra. I went back up front. The guy was passed out on the ground.
"You get it?" Alfie asked.
"Duh" I said holding up the duffel bag. We all left the building and went to our office. I sat the duffel bag in the safe. My phone rang. Patricia. I picked up.
"Hey baby" I said.
"Eddie, it's morning. Where are you?" she asked. Morning? I looked at a clock. Seven in the morning. Hmm. I guess so.
"Patricia, we still have that party we go to tonight" I said.
"So when will you be here?" she asked.
"Eight o'clock tonight, baby" I said. She groaned.
"Seriously?" she asked.
"Yes" I said.
"Whatever" she snapped then hung up. Sometimes I wish she didn't get so pissed at me all the time. I do what I do for her and Ellie. I think it just scares her. Like something will come after her but I would never let that happen. She would never get hurt. I would never ever let that happen to her or Ellie.
I'm very careful. Ridicuously careful. They are way too precious to put in danger. I looked in the huge safe. Everything from money, jeweles and information was everywhere. I saw one of my information files. I opened it. Oh.
This is my will. Everything of mine from the money, jeweles, and buisness go to Patricia. I closed it and slid back on the shelf. I looked at another one. All of my guys files. I keep track of them too. Everything looked normal in theres. My phone went off again.
"Patricia, if you want to talk to me then why do you keep hanging up?" I asked.
"Shut up. I meant to ask you this but I didn't get to. Why did you give me that bag?" she said.
"I don't know how long we will be apart" I said.
"But this is a lot" she said.
"You deserve the best" I said.
"Ok" she sighed.
"See you later baby. Tell Ellie I love her and will see her later" I said.
"She won't understand and she will be asleep probably when you come tonight" she said.
"Well then I'll wake her back up. She won't mind" I said.
"Whatever see you later" she said.
"No love you?" I asked. She sighed.
"I love you Eddie" she said.
"I love you too baby" I said.
"Bye Eddie" she said.
"Bye Trixie" I said. She hung up. I shook my head. She's so fiesty. I love that about her. I also love sometimes how she doesn't listen to me. Other times it's a pain in the butt. Like when I try to help her and she gets all pissy. That is annoying.
All I want to do is help her but sometimes she doesn't see it the same way I do. She thinks it's unnessesary but I know what I'm talking about I always do. Even if it may seem like I don't I do. I sighed aloud. I finally decided to leave the safe. I sat down in my desk chair. There was a bang. This can only get worse. I grabbed my gun and went out.
"What the hell was that?" I asked looking at the guys who also came out. We shrugged and went outside. A dead girl. I turned her over. Patricia. Anger built inside of me.
"Eddie" Fabian started. I shook my head and went inside.
"EDDIE WAIT!" Alfie said as I got ready.
"What?" I demanded. He pulled out a music note necklace. On then side said Piper. Patricia's twin. That scared the shit out of me. I thought Patricia was dead.
"She is dead right?" I asked. Fabian shook his head.
"She has a pulse" he said.
"Bring her in" I said. Mick picked her up and carried her in. We sat her in my office. She started coming to it. She didn't look scarred I just assumed. I mean you find a chick not moving in and alley in the Brooklyn New York you don't exactly expect good things. You just kind of assume. I'm happy she isn't though. She is my girlfriends sister and my daughters aunt. She blinked a few times.
"Eddie?" she asked.
"Hey Pipes" I said. She put her hand to her head.
"What happened?" she asked.
"You tell me. We found you asleep in an alley" I said.
"I got gassed" she said.
"Oh" I said.
"I need to go" she said getting up.
"Go where?" I asked.
"My apartment" she said.
"Ok fine" I said. She then left. She isn't exactly for my job. Whatever. She doesn't like it but her stamp of approval isn't the most important thing.
My family being ok is.
Patricia pov
Stupid Eddie with his stupid job. Leaving me alone in this stupid hotel. I'm not gonna mope though. I'm going out. I found out some of my friends are here and we are going shopping with our kids. Our kids are all babies. I got changed into a very simple outfit. I took Ellie from her cot. I tickled her tummy. She giggled as I kissed her belly.
"Let's go shopping!" I said. I went to the suitcases and took out an outfit for Ellie. I put on her blue onesy. Next I put on a little dress.
"So cute!" I said. She giggled again. I put her in the stroller, grabbed her carrier so it could be a car seat and got my purse. I might have some of what Eddie gave me in here. I knocked on my first friends door. Nina. She opened the door. She had a her baby in a carrier. My stoller is a double and I said she would share. She pulled me and Ellie in.
"Look at this" she said opening a duffel bag. The same suprise I got. Money.
"What the hell does he expect me to do with this?" she asked holding Sarah's carrier.
"Spend it Nins" I said.
"He doesn't want it saved?" she asked. I shook my head no.
"Nah he wouldn't have given it to you then" I said. She shoved some of it in her purse.
"Let's go the others are waiting" I said. We went down to the lobby. Amber, Joy, Mara and their kids were down there. Amber had her daughter Alana in her stroller. Alana was dressed from head to toe in designer baby stuff. Her dirty blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Joy and Mara had their baby boys in strollers. They were doing boy stuff or whatever. We all got in the limo and strapped the babies in. Ellie stared at me.
"Take a nap" I said. She blinked and I sighed. Amber squealed a squeal only she can do. God.
"Were going shopping!" she said happily.
"I know" I said. Nina was staring in Sarah's carrier so she wouldn't freak out from not seeing her mommy. The limo stopped we all got out. We put the kids in strollers and left the carriers in. I started pushing. Nina is way to tired. I can tell. We went into a Chanel store or whatever. Amber sprung to the bags. I looked a bags. Some of these are cool. I picked out a black vintage bag with a gold chain.
"What do you think?" I asked holding it out to Ellie. She moved her head towards it. That means she wants to go to it. I smiled.
"Thought so" I said. I saw a Chanel diaper bag. That is also cute. This is for Ellie not for me. I'll tell that to Eddie. A saleslady came up. She had a pencil skirt, bustier shirt, black hair pulled into a bun, steely cold gray eyes, gross smelling perfurme and that "stick up the ass" and "I'm better than you" look.
"I'm sorry Miss but we don't have anything for your price range" she said. My what? Just because I don't wear designer everything. I actually don't like to dress like I'm important unless I'm doing something important. This is fucking shopping.
"Ok well could you give me the price?" I said as sweetly as I could. She huffed like I want this bitch out. I kept my fake sugary smile.
"6,595 for the vintage and 4,100 for the diaper bag" she said. I handed her my credit card.
"Titanium" she murmered. Yea I have a titanuim credit card. You have to spend fucking alot to get that.
"Ok Mrs. Sweet" she said faltering on Sweet. Yea the credit card has Eddie's last name even though we aren't married.
"Like Eddie Sweet's wife?" she asked.
"Well fiance" I said. She quickly got my stuff. I had sat my purse on the counter. The lady handed me my new bags in these boxes. Ellie started crying. I bent down and picked her up. When I came back up. The lady gave me my credit card. My purse was wide open. I stared at the lady.
"Whatever you stole from me I suggest you give it back" I said.
"I don't know what you mean" she said.
"That's bull. Now give it back before I look in here and see something gone" I said. She just crossed her arms.
"I did nothing" she said.
"You get until the count of three before I seriously get angry" I said. She looked kind of nevous.
"One, two-" I said.
"Ok here" she said handing me five of the bonds Eddie gave me back. I stuffed them in my purse.
"Did you keep my credit card number?" I asked.
"Yes" she admitted.
"Give me the paper" I said. She handed it over. I ripped it up.
"Thanks" I said as nicely as I could. I bounced my Ellie up.
"She tried to steal from mommy. But no that bitch would get hurt" I said. Ellie put her hands over her mouth. I smiled and put her back in the stroller. Amber came up with like fifteen bags.
"Jeez Amber" I said.
"Shut up" she said. She paid for her stuff. All the other girls bought their stuff and we walked to another store. I was looking at clothes when a gun shot went off. All of us grabbed the kids and locked ourselfs in the dressing rooms. We all got in seperate ones. I held the pacifier in Ellie's mouth and snuck out my phone. Eddie.
"Please help me! I hear gun shots in the store. Track my phone and come over. Please!" I texted fast. I already locked the door now my foot is against it. I heard more gun shots and screams. I shivered and held Ellie close. I heard footsteps creep closer to the door. Oh god. I could hear the locks undo. Oh no. The door swung open. I clutched onto Ellie.
Someone in a mask. I got grabbed by my hair. The person grabbed Ellie from me. The pacifier fell from her mouth and she stared bawling. My heart ached.
"Is that a baby?" a girls voice asked.
"Yes" the gruff voice who was dragging me said. I felt a gun press on my back. He dragged me to the front of the store with the other hostages. He tossed my purse to the girl.
"Whoa. Bring here over here" the girl said. The guy dragged me over. He left me with the girl. He took my friends out and their kids from the back. They got shoved in different in different corners of the shop. The lady picked me up by the hair.
"Little rich girl" she mused.
"Let all of us go" I demanded. She shoved the crying Ellie into my arms.
"Shut up before I shoot you" she said. She shoved me to the ground. I heard more gun shots. Everyone jumped. Even the thiefs.
"Everyone sit down" a familiar voice said. Eddie. The robbers sat down. All the guys went over to their girlfriends. Eddie bent down meeting my face.
"Come on" he said picking me up. Eddie stood up with me in his arms. He sat me down. He went over to the thiefs. Another arm wrapped around me. One of Eddie's guys.
"Come on" he said. I grabbed my purse then went out with Ellie still gathered in my arms. She was still bawling. I got in the car Eddie had sent. I rocked Ellie back and forth.
"Shh baby girl" I said. She kept weeping. I looked in my purse. Everything was there? I could hear gun shots banging throughout. When they stopped Eddie jumped in the car.
"Drive" he demanded to the driver. The guy stepped on it. I held Ellie in my chest. I had a few tears falling. Eddie rubbed my back.
"It's ok Yacker" he said pulling me into his chest. I weeped in his chest. Ellie's outdid mine. I pulled away. Eddie took Ellie into his arms. He rocked her.
"It's ok baby" he said. He kept holding her tight and saying soothing things. Eventually she cooled down. She looked really pale from crying and had red eyes.
"Eddie what did you do in there?" I asked.
"I shot the people who tried holding you hostage" he said.
"What about the hostages?" I asked.
"No they weren't doing anything" he said. The car stopped. We got out and went up to the hotel room. Eddie held Ellie on his hip. She had her head on his shoulder. I sat down on the couch.
"Let me take a nap before the party" I said.
"You still wanna go?" Eddie asked.
"Yea" I said.
"We have to take Ellie" he said.
"I know" I said.
"Ok take a nap" he said. I closed my eyes. I fell into a blank dreamless sleep. I woke up to be shooken awake. I blinked groggily.
Eddie he was dressed up. In a suit and stuff. He had my baby girl in his arms. She was in a fluffy white dress. I got up and streatched. I went and changed into my black mini dress, black heels, diamond bracelet, black cuff bracelet with a flower design, diamond earrings, engagement ring, a black clutch with jewels over it and a fur coat.
The fur coat is like the "typical"mafia girlfriend thing. Amber decided to bring the look back. Sigh. Anyway I wear mine but I don't like killing animals. I bought mine and it said that it died of natural causes not hunters shooting it. So I guess I agree. I went to where Eddie and Ellie were.
"Wow" Eddie said.
"Yea the coat. It's already gonne be cold" I said. It's fucking January. Of course it's cold. He smirked and we went out of the hotel. Ellie was being pretty quiet. She was playing with Eddie watch.
"She's gonna break it" I said. He shrugged. We got in the Hummer limo. Ellie was banging his Rolex against his leg. Eddie picked it up.
"No no" Eddie said. Ellie pouted. Eddie kissed her head. Eventually the car stopped. We all got out. Eddie's arm wrapped around my waist with one arm. We walked into the party. Were late. Yea Eddie is late to his own party. Someone took my coat and put it up. The party was in a ballroom of some place.
"Who are these people?" I asked.
"My good clients and my guys" Eddie said. I smoothed out my small dress. Ellie was being pretty quiet just looking at all the people and things. Someone came up to me and offered champangue. Of course I took some. I had mu glass walking with Eddie. Some girl came up to Eddie. He handed her Ellie.
"Make sure she's ok. I don't want any tricks pulled and her hurt" he said. The girl nodded and took her up.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"One of my clients who actually pays me back. She said she will babysit if I took some off of her pay back" he said.
"Seems fair" I said.
"Yea. The guys made the same deals but with other clients" he said.
"I love how you sound so buisnessy when your a badass" I said.
"I try" he said. We clinked glasses. That's our joke. Rich people clink glasses for no reason. So Eddie and I do it to. Just to make fun. I laughed a little. I love him so much.
I would do anything for him. He would do the same for me.
