So I hope you enjoy this chapter and will let me know what you think. Thanks again!!! Oh yea yes I did change my pen name, I needed a change so hopefully it doesn't throw you all off or anything

Waking the next morning seemed even more difficult than normal for Allison, the sun was barley up and rolling over she saw that it was 6:30 in the morning and her head was slightly pounding. Knowing she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep Allison rolled out of bed and walked into her kitchen to make some coffee and find something to do before she had to take her sister to school and head off to work.

After the coffee pot was on and brewing away Allison made her way into the living room to see if her husband was still sleeping or if he was as wide awake as she was. Leaning over the couch she couldn't help but smile, Vince was curled up on his side face smashed into the pillow and the blanket wrapped tightly around his shoulders and her precious black short hair cat Emerald staring down at him curiously then back at her.

"Yea Em I don't know what to make of him either. Come on let's get you some breakfast." She turned around to leave the cat following behind her after one more look at the man on her couch.

After feeding the cat and pouring herself and Vince a cup of coffee and leaving his on the table next to the couch, she went into the bathroom attached to the bedroom and striped down to take a shower hoping to ease the still throbbing tension in her head.

Running water and the feel of soft fur woke Vince from his sleep, as he woke his head was foggy from sleep and it took him a minute to realize he was not in his bed back home but on the couch of Allison's home. He realized the feeling of fur was a tiny black cat rubbing her head against his arm demanding attention from him, smirking he scratched the cats ears and picked up the coffee she had left for him next to his makeshift bed.

As he waited for Allison to get out of the shower the phone began to ring, out of instinct he reached over and answered it, not really expecting to get into too much trouble for simply taking a message for her.

"Hello." He answered casually and leaned back on his pillow, his body still heavy with sleep.

It took the person on the other line a minute to answer him, "I'm sorry I think I dialed the wrong number." The person, a girl, apologized and was about to hang up when Vince corrected her.

"Are you looking for Allison?" he asked

"Yea is she there, and who are you?" the girl asked her voice becoming weary as the stranger acted like he belonged in that home answering the phone.

"Yea she's here and I'm Vince, her husband. Can I have her give you a call back?" he said not realizing what he said could possibly cause big trouble.

"Her what! This is Elena her sister, and trust me my little sister does not have a husband, so who are you and where is she?!?!" Elena screamed into the phone causing Vince to move the phone away from her ear.

"Well then you don't talk to her often cause we've been married for a couple months, you know what she'll have to call you back." And with that Vince shut the phone and went towards the bathroom, knowing in the back of his head he was about to add to the stress of the situation.

Knocking on the bathroom door slightly and opening it enough to put his head in he called to her, "Allison the phone just rang." He yelled over the steaming running water wincing when it shut off and her glaring eyes met his out of the curtain her body wrapped tightly in a towel long hair dripping down her back.

"Who called and what did you say?" she asked fear creeping up into her body, fear that it would be Bianca and something else had gone wrong, or worse it could have been her parents and she would have to explain why a strange man was answering her phone.

"Not much and it was your sister Elena I think she said. She didn't say much just wanted to know if you were home." He told her offering her his hand as she stepped out of the shower and watching the trails of water ran down over her shoulders and neck landing behind the towel into the valley between her breasts.

Suddenly there was a hand waving in front of his face snapping him out of his daze and forcing him to look back up at her face. "Well what did you tell her?"

Shrugging his shoulders "just that you were in the shower and that you would call her back…and that I was your husband and we had been married for a couple months." He said and began to rub the back of his neck nervously when he saw the color drain from her face and she pushed past him and into her bedroom.

Vince watched silently as she paced the room randomly grabbing cloths out of her drawers and picking up the phone and staring at it as she paced. He didn't say anything to her just took the moment to look around her room, sensing he wouldn't be allowed in there for awhile after his big booboo. Her bed sat near the center of the room with the back against the wall, a big blue and brown and flowered comforter covered the bed with a good amount of pillows on there, it was a king size bed and looked very inviting. She had two dark wooden night tables with small lamps resting on them sat on either side of the bed.

Across the from the bed close to the door was a large wooden dresser the same color as the night tables, with a large mirror attached to it . stepping closer to it he took in the jewelry box, the perfume bottles, and the few framed photos, one was of two older people laughing and holding each other, he assumed it was her parents, one of her and three other girls all looking similar to each other, and one was of her and another girl sitting on lounge chairs at the beach, Allison sat smiling in a purple swimsuit her sun glasses perched on her head, while the other girl sat with a zoned out stare on her face.

"Vince, get out so I can get dressed and call my sister." She said finally spinning around to face him and snapping him out of his daze. "God how am I gonna get out of this one." She mumbled to herself averting her eyes from him and rubbing the side of her head, her headache coming back to her.

"Get out of what, I don't get what the big deal is here. So your sister knows your married, what is she gonna lock you up for it? You're an adult Allison and the last time I checked you don't need her permission for anything, she your sister not your parole officer." He yelled towards her he didn't do anything wrong and neither did she, so why was she making this more complicated than it had to be.

"It's not about permission Vince, it's about the fact that Elena has the biggest mouth out of every signal one of my siblings, if she had government secrets she'd have no problem spilling them, she's just that way. Look there is a lot you don't know and won't understand about me and my brothers and sisters, especially Elena. So please just leave so I can get dressed." She was practically begging him at this point not wanting to deal with the complications she called family at the moment, and she really didn't have the energy to explain it all to him not that she wanted too.

Giving up Vince moved out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him but he didn't go far he waited out in the hallway for her. He could hear her rustling around in her bed room getting dressed and drying her hair, but what he really wanted to hear was her conversation with her sister.

Once she was dressed and her hair fully dried Allison picked up the phone and dialed Elena's number and waited anxiously as it rang, not really know what she was going to say to her. Elena and her personalities always clashed Elena always had to be right and perfect and whenever Allison wasn't she loved to call her out on it and make a big dramatic scene out of it making Allison feel like a disappointment to her family.

"What the hell is going on Allison Rose!!" her sister's angry voice suddenly came over the phone making Allison jump.

"It's not what you think Elena..." she started but was cut off by her sister's normal snotty tone.

"Really because it seems to me that you screwed up, yet again. What it isn't enough you embarrass the family by living your life the way you do, now you have to go and get married to a stranger. I can't believe you would do something like this and this close to Taylor's wedding too why are you trying to steal the spot light from her. Seriously Allison when mom and dad find out about this." This time it was Elena's turn to be cut off by Allison

"No Elena please don't tell mom and dad, seriously I am taking care of this, ok I promise I'm not trying to make trouble and I'm not trying to hurt Taylor please just don't tell them or Dante, Jamie, Charlie, or Gemma. Just do this one thing for me."

The line was silent and Allison thought she would scream waiting for her sister to, say something anything, but mostly wishing she would try to help her this one time.

"Please El, I've never asked for anything." She broke the silence still she could feel the nervous still bubbling in her stomach.

"Fine I won't say anything for now, but I swear Allison you better take care of this and fast." And with that she hung up the phone leaving her baby sister shaking from their conversation and the fact that Elena now had this power hanging over her head.

Letting out the breath she had been holding Allison grabbed her jacket and opened her bedroom door, surprising Vince with the sudden movement.

"So I take it the look on your face means it didn't go so well." He said and took in the fact her skin was paler than normal and she had a defeated look on her face.

"No it didn't but she'll actually keep her mouth shut for once, as long as I take care of this." She told him and moved away towards the den to pick up her bag and keys with Vince right on her heels.

"What do you mean take care of this, I already told you I'm not signing them so think of another way to get her off your back." he told her yet again about his decision, but she just shook her head and tried to get to the front door but Vince grabbed her arm and spun her back around to face him.

"And I told you it can't happen; come on Vince why do you really want to stay married to me. Think of it this way if you really wanted to be with you wouldn't have ditched me the next morning and if I remember right I was the one who found you not the other way around. So please just sign them and let's move on." She tried to reason with him, she was on edge from her conversation with Elena and just needed to get away from him and everyone for awhile and think things over.

"I got freaked out ok, not the best answer but it's honest and for Christ sakes I had no idea how to find you, but I'm here now. Look just calm down ok, you're worried about your sister fine but I'm not going anywhere." He told her in a calmer voice, well as calm as Vince could get when he was aggravated.

"I have to go to work." And with that she led him out of the house and got in her car and drove off while Vince watched her leave. He was frustrated and didn't know how to get anything across to her she was just as stubborn as he was. But she was scared too and he had no idea why, ok he got her family would be mad but why was she freaking out so bad about it, it's not like they would disown her or he hoped so. Either way she was his family now and he was going to convince her of that.

Allison stopped her car in front of her parent's house and sat there for a minute not sure if she really wanted to face her parents this morning, it had already been a crazy morning and her head already felt like it was going to explode she didn't need her mother's nagging this morning. Groaning Allison pulled herself out of the car and walked up to the door of her childhood home, hoping Gemma would be ready to go early today.

Opening the door she was welcomed by the sounds of her mother talking on the phone in the kitchen while she made breakfast, and by a nudge on her leg from her parents dog Daisy.

"Allie is that you?" her mother called out to her when she closed the door.

"Yea it's me, is Gemma ready yet?" she asked as she made her way into the kitchen.

Her mother was still on the phone, probably talking to her grandmother, her back was to the doorway so she simply shook her head and handed Allison a plate filled with food on it. Shaking her head Allison sat down at the table and began to play with the food in front of her, not really hungry this morning.

"Allison stop playing with it and eat it." Her mother scolded her back still towards Allison, no matter how old she got Allison would never know how her mother managed to do that. But she did as told and ate small bites of her breakfast, waiting for her youngest sister to come down the stairs.

After almost half an hour of being in her parents' home, and giving her bacon and toast to the dog, Bellissa hung up the phone and sat at the table with her daughter. "Allison Rose don't feed the dog bacon." She scolded when she handed him a small piece.

"She likes it, plus I'm not eating it." She shrugged and gave another piece to Daisy before her mother finally took the plate away from her and looked at her. She noticed her daughters face was pale, and looked as if she hadn't slept at all the night before.

"What's the matter baby are you sick." Bellissa asked and reached across to feel her forehead, but Allison pulled away from her and sat back in her chair drinking her ice cold juice she had gotten before.

"I'm fine had a hard time sleeping. So how's grandma?" she asked changing the subject.

Bellissa looked at her daughter strangely knowing something was wrong but left it alone for now. "She's fine, wants to know how the wedding plans are going, how Rebecca, Rae Ann, and Jackson are doing. And if you and Elena are ever going to get married." She said and again looked at her daughter strangely when she chocked on her juice.

"Allison Rose what is wrong with you, take a deep breath!!" she scolded and took the juice away from her.

"Nothing mom I just have a lot to do today, which is why I need to get out of here already what the hell is taking Gemma so long." She said when she caught her breath and headed out of the kitchen to yell up to her sister.

"Gemma Marie De Luca get your ass down here I have to get to work!!" she yelled and went to sit back down.

"Allie please don't yell she'll be ready soon, you know her everything has to be just right. She's at that age." Their mother said as she cleaned up the kitchen.

"Yea the age that makes her a pain in my ass, you know I should make her walk to school." She said walking back into the kitchen and reaching for her juice.

"Yes but you won't let her walk cause she's your baby sister, why are you in such a rush this morning?" her mother asked eyeing her strangely

"No reason I just want to get going ok." She said and turned away from her mother.

"Did you hear from Elena this morning she said she would call you, something about some Halloween party she's throwing." Her mother changed the subject knowing she wasn't going to be getting many answers from her daughter this morning.

"Um yea I heard from her but she didn't mention anything about a party, we didn't talk long anyway I wasn't up for talking this morning." Allison said and avoided her mother's gaze she wasn't about to tell her the real conversation she had with her sister this morning.

Before her mother could say anything else they heard the thudding of feet running down the stairs and they were met with the sight of Gemma breathing hard and running towards the counter where her breakfast sat waiting for her.

"Well good morning to you too Gem, took you long enough." Allison said and sat back down with her sister who rolled her eyes at her before going back to eating.

"I had things to do." Was the reply of the youngest girl

"What things your twelve?" Allison asked stealing a piece of toast off her plate just out of spite

"I have things and for your information I was on the phone with a friend." She said and finished up her food before going to the sink and rinsing off her plate.

"You made me wait while you talked to your annoying friends, the same ones that your gonna see the minute I drop you off?" Allison asked staring her sister down.

"Yea so can we go now?" Gemma said and picked up her bag and began to walk to the door.

Allison groaned and picked up her keys and bag and turned to face her mother, "you couldn't stop after me?" she asked and walked out of the house shaking her head. Today was definitely going to be a long day.

Vince walked into the garage after leaving Allison's house not seeing the point in going back to the house when he was just going to turn around and end up here anyway. Opening up and walking inside he noticed that the garage was dead silent; looking at the wall clock he noticed it was still really early and the rest of the team wouldn't be there for a couple more hours. So vice had the place to himself, just him and his thoughts, or so he thought.

He decided to get a head start on one of the cars and as he was going over what needed to be done he didn't hear the slight shuffling of footsteps coming upon him till a hand clamped down on his broad shoulder making him jump and spin around to face the person ready to start screaming at them for scaring him and for interrupting his thoughts, not that they were really going anywhere in his mind. But he shook his head and groaned when he saw who it was; standing in front of him with her arms crossed over her chest was Letty, and she that smirk of hers on her face the one that meant she wasn't going to leave him alone till she got what she wanted out of him.

"Christ Letty what the fuck are you doing here so early?" he asked and leaned against the car's hood crossing his arms over his chest, his heart was still pounding in his chest from the shock of being snuck up on.

With her smirk still in place Letty simply shrugged her shoulders and sat down on the old couch that was near the car, "I couldn't sleep Dom kept kicking me in the back, so I decided to come in early. What are you doing here so early V?" he fired his question back at him her eyes never leaving his.

"Couldn't sleep either." Was his simple reply and the two of them sat there for a minute Letty nodding her head slowly as she took in his answer.

"Really 'cause you never came home last night, so where'd did you sleep last night or not sleep? She asked him her smirk turning into a small smile she had an idea as to where he was all night.

"None of your business." He growled at her going into his defense mode

Letty laughed at him for being so defensive, she knew he was still made about last night with everyone getting into his business but they were only trying to help and watch out for him. They had all been together for so long it was just instinct to check someone new that showed up in their lives. Especially when they had no idea this person existed and one of them was keeping her a secret, secrets were never good in their family.

"Look Vi I know you're pissed about Brian digging around in your girls background but we really only had your interest at heart, I mean come on its only been a couple months since the last heist, your accident and with jess still in the hospital we're just being careful." She told him her eyes holding nothing but honesty; he knew she was right they couldn't be too careful even though their records were clear, you never knew who could want revenge or retaliation especially with Tran dead and Jess still alive.

"Yea I know just kinda wish you would have said something to me instead of going behind my back. Besides she doesn't pose a threat to any of us." He told her some of his defense back down a bit but in true Vince fashion it was still there simmering below the surface ready to go up if need be.

"So did you stay at her place last night?" Letty asked him really curious why he was so protective of this girl if she was the one who wanted him to sign papers annulling their marriage.

"Yea I went there to talk with her, and it was late so she let me stay there with her." he told her he knew Letty almost as well as he knew himself she was not going to give up on this interrogation till she got what she wanted, better to just get it over with than to drag it out.

She smiled at him and leaned forward a bit, "so what happened between you two?" was her next question

""Nothing I told her I wasn't going to sign the papers, that I wanted her, and then we went to bed, her in her bedroom me on the couch. Are you satisfied?" he said wanting nothing more than to get back to work already.

Letty was shocked that the girl didn't kick him out last night after hearing him say he wasn't going to sign them, and the fact he didn't try to make his way into her bed.

"What she say about you not signin them?" she asked him still leaning forward

Vince shrugged his shoulders before answering, "Basically she wants me to sign them, thinks that its wrong for us to stay married, and then her sister called, I guess she had no idea about me and her so when I told her she blew up at me and the sister blew up at her, so I just made a bigger mess of things."

"Well in her defense Vince you did kinda do things backwards here. Think about it, you met hr, talked to her for what an hour maybe two, got drunk married her then had sex with her and took off. It is a pretty fucked up way to start things off."

"Yea I know its backwards but come on since when have any of us done things the so called normal way." Was his answer for her, knowing she was right but still not willing to give it up just yet.

"Yea true but come on V that's us we've all know each other for years, grown up together, gone through hell and back together, we've never been normal and that's our world. Give the girl a break she's had her own life for twenty-two years with ups and downs from a crappy friend. This is probably screwing with her head." She said and got up and began her own work, she had gotten al she wanted from him for now, so she left him to think over what she said.

Later that night Allison was in her bedroom getting changed out of her work cloths, she had been distracted all day long not hearing anything anyone really said to her. She kept glancing over at her cell phone or the phone at work, and now at the phone in her home just waiting for it to ring. Allison hadn't heard from her sister all day long and she was getting sick to her stomach over it, worried she would tell their parents or their brothers and then they'd call or come by and rag on her.

Shaking her head of these thoughts her mind shifted to Vince and the look on his face as he told he wasn't signing them and he wanted her, it had been a long time since a guy wanted her and not just her body but wanted to be with her, they may not of started out in the right way but he was determined to keep this going whether she liked it or not and a small piece of her wanted it too she was just scared he would run again after he finds out about Bianca and all the trouble she's had to bail her out of.

After changing and pulling her hair back Allison moved back out into her kitchen but made a detour to the front door as there was a knock at it. Almost afraid to open it, afraid it would be Elena she moved quietly and slowly but looking out she saw it was only Clair.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Allison asked as she shut the door behind her friend and moved back towards the kitchen to grab a beer for her and Clair.

"Well I hadn't heard from you yesterday after you left my office nor did I hear from you today, so I thought I'd check up on you. How did it go with the hubby?" Clair asked as she sat at the kitchen table and smiled at her friend.

Sighing Allison took a drink from her bottle and sat across from her friend before answering, "How much time do you have, 'cause it's a long story." She said and began the story of what has happened over the last day and a half.

After an hour long conversation about what happened and what to do next Allison got up to use the bathroom while Clair sat there going over in her head everything her friend had told her, this was not going to be easy in fact it felt like it was going to be a very sticky situation. Shaking her head Clair was about to take another sip of her second beer when there was a knock at the door, "I'll get it Al." she called out and ran to get the door.

When she opened the door she was met with a rough looking man who had a similar look of confusion on his face as she did. "Can I help you?" she asked cautiously it was every day her friends got visitors this late at night and not by guys looking like they could kill you if you looked at them funny, but she did have to admit the man before her was hot as hell.

"Um I was lookin for Allison is she home?" Vince asked still looking confused as to who this woman was and was wondering if this was the sister she was afraid of knowing about them.

"Yea she's here who are you?" Clair asked noticing his voice matched him perfectly and couldn't help but scream on the inside because there was a hot man standing on her friend's doorstep looking for her, Allison needed a guy in her life right now, and she was tired of seeing her friend mop around all the time.

"Oh sorry I'm Vince." He said as she moved to let him in the house. As she shut the door a little light went off in her head, when she heard his name.

"Wait your Vince. You're the Vince Allison is married too, the one who won't sign the papers." She stated to him but before he could answer Allison came out into the room and stood staring at him, she was not expecting to see him back here tonight.

"What are you doing here?" she asked hating herself for her stomach lurching forward, in a good way, with just him standing in the room.

"Well he's here to see you, so I think I'm going to go." Clair said and grabbed her stuff and smiled and hugged her friend goodbye, "oh and by the way your husband is hot as hell god job girly." She whispered to her and laughing as Allison rolled her eyes at her.

"Bye Vince nice meeting you." She said and left the couple alone in the house.

"So was that your sister?" he asked and moved closer to her, still confused by the woman who just left and how she knew about the situation.

Allison shook her head and looked up at him, "No that would be Clair she's a friend of mine, she's the one who drew up the annulment papers." She said to him not moving away just looking up at him, hating that he was still have an affect her she could feel her body shiver as he got closer to her.

"Oh so did you tell her I'm not signing them." Vince took a chance and moved a little closer to her and smirked when he notice her body shuddered when he stepped closer.

"Yea "I did what are you doing here Vince?" she asked still not moving away and cursing her damn feet.

"I just wanted to tell you I understand we didn't start this right, we did everything backwards but come you can't tell me that in your heart, in your stomach you don't feel something here."

"I do Vince ok I do and I hate it, because it scares me the only ones I've ever let in are my family and sometimes that doesn't even work out, they are all I have Vince and I'm scared to death of losing them." She said and looked down at her feet

"They aren't your only family Allison, I'm your family now my family is your family, come on just give it a shot. we can start from the beginning if you want, get to know each other as friends and then maybe start with a date or something." He said hoping he was convince her, really not used to this situation, he's never had t work hard to get a girl but this one was different.

ok so there you go guys the next chapter sorry it took so long I got busy finished my internship, and working, and then my brother got married so yea. Hope you like it and review, cause I love hearing from people good or bad.
