Chapter 12

To Be With You

BEX'S POV.

It took a few days to get thing back to normal, but it happened. Anna, thankfully didn't find out about Malcom. About him being her father that is. This whole thing had been just so crazy, and I didn't want for Anna to be exposed to this growing up, but I also didn't want to lose Tony and Alex, Anna didn't either. But I knew that we were going to have to do something if we wanted to live in peace and away from all this.

I didn't just mean me, Anna, Alex and Tony, but all the others as well, like Rosy, Cloe, and Meghan and their families. Something needs to be done…

I was once again talking with the girls. They asked me how I was holding up. I told them the truth, I hadn't bounced right back, but I got there.

Meghan asked me if there had been anything else with the gang. I told her nothing was new and they still new noting about her. As I said before, Meghan is Scourge's sister. She was also one of their father's best members. Having been the notorious Jules Delgado's daughter, she was one of the best. She had been in her father's gang since she turned eighteen. She was a trained killer in short, and things were going smoothly. Keywords being 'were going smoothly'.

She had been assigned to kill this one hedgehog, named Shadow. He had black fur and red stripes, with white chest fur and tan skin. He had a dark voice to match it, but he was actually pretty cool. She had been assigned to befriend him and then kill him. He was a government as well. He worked for G.U.N. which is a brother organization to mine and the girls' organization. But I digress.

Anyway, she met him and befriended him and things were going as planned. But then he asked her on a date. She accepted, figuring that she could get more information on him to use and finally end him. But the date had gone great and after that, she began to put off killing him.

Finally, she realized that she loved him and would never be able to intentionally hurt him. She came clean with him, and although he was pissed at first, after she explained, he forgave her. He did love her after all. They began to make plans. If they wanted to be together they would have to figure something out. So they staged her death.

After that, they were married, well, after they found out she was pregnant they got married. But still. Her daughter was named Camila. She had her mother's fur with a patch of white chest fur and stripes like her father's, but hers were black.

The only ones who knew about this all were me and the others, including our guys and the kids, but we didn't have to worry about them saying anything. Also, Megan got her quills trimmed and had dyed her fur a darker shade. It had been working and still was. Because she agreed to become a government agent, she was in the clear for things she had done before under her father's orders. Now we had been trying to figure out how to take down Jules.

"I think it's safe to say that the only way we'll be free of him is too get rid of him for good." Rosy stated.

"Agreed." The rest of us stated. I saw Meghan look down for a second. I knew why. Her father may have been a vicious, notorious gang lord, he was still her father. She had always been daddy's little girl, no matter how he showed it. But either way, she knew that this had to be done.

"Now the question is, how do we go about it?" Cloe asked.

"Not sure. We have to be careful. He has people watching out for these kinds of things." I said.

"True. What we need to do is get him when he least expects it. But we need to make sure we distance ourselves. If he finds out we have something to do with this, we're all dead." Meghan stated.

We all sat there thinking. This was actually a lot harder than we thought. Then a thought came to me and I smiled.

"I have a plan." I stated. They all looked at me.

"Okay, so here's the plan…"


LATER

I was in the living room with Tony. Anna was at a sleepover and Alex had volunteered to chaperone, but I think that part of that was because a girl he likes that goes to his school has a sister at that sleepover and she's chaperoning too. But either way, it meant that Tony and I had the house to ourselves tonight.

Currently, we were on the couch watch Law and Order: SVU. You know, the good one. It was peaceful. We were laying on the couch, stretched across it. Tony was behind me while I was in front with my head on his chest, and his arms wrapped around me.

It was just us. I could really get used to this. All of this…


VALENTINE'S DAY.

It's Valentine's Day. Tony said he had something special planned for us. I really couldn't wait. It would be a good break from the girls' and my plan. Alex and Anna were sleepovers again, so that meant once we got back we would have the house to ourselves.

Tony had told me to dress casually. Since it was still winter, although it was beginning to warm up, the nights were still cold. So I wore long sleeved black shirt with dark denim jeans and my red light fall coat, along with my grey material short boots. I sprayed a little perfume and wore my silver heart necklace that Tony had given me earlier today. It was seven now and Tony and I were heading out.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see." He said smugly.

I rolled my eyes playfully as we got into the car and drove.


After driving around, I figured out that we were going to a Valentine's Day carnival. Once we got there and got our tickets, we headed for the rides.

"How about that one first?" he asked, pointing to the go carts.

"Sure." I said.

"Don't worry I'll go easy on you." He said.

"Thanks." I said sarcastically.

"Don't be mad that you lost." I said to a pouting Tony.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He grumbled.

We walked by a hitting the bottles game and stopped.

"Now I can redeem myself." He said.

I giggled softly.

After a minute he was handing me a giant teddy bear that said 'I Love You' in white cursive on a red heart the bear was holding.

I smiled at him and we continued on.

After a few more rides and games, we decided to grab a bite to eat. After some going back and forth we decided to share pasta with meatballs and red sauce, with a bit of parmesan. It was actually a lot for one person, so sharing was better plus couples get a discount.

After that we shared a funnel cake with strawberries, powdered sugar and whipped cream. It was so good, I almost didn't want to share. It was that good.

After that we went on a few more rides.

"It's getting late, but I think we have time for one last ride." He said.

"Okay, which one?" I asked.

He pointed at the ferries wheel. I smiled as we walked over.


After waiting about five minutes, we were in our cart and soon at the very top. It was so romantic. Tony wrapped his arms around me and kissed me sweetly.

"Happy Valentine's Day Rebecca." he whispered.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Tony." I replied breathlessly.

Once we got home we proceeded to the bedroom, and well, you know…

This had been a great Valentine's Day.


I woke up the next morning with a smile and snuggled against Tony.

"Morning, love." I said sleepily.

"Morning British Bombshell." Tony replied.

Then something came to me. I sat up and looked at him.

"Hey, can we talk for a sec?" I asked. He looked a bit worried for a second, then spoke.

"Sure, what's up?" he asked.

"It's nothing bad, it's just…well, Anna wants you and Alex to be her new father and big brother." I said.

"Really?" he asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah. She really warmed up to you two. And to be honest, I really want for us all to be together as a family…but…" I trailed off.

"But the gang." He stated.

"Yeah. Tony, listen…if there was a way that we could be together in peace, even if it meant going against Jules…would you go through with it?" I asked.

He looked at me for a minute, before hugging.

"I guess it would be a risk I'd be willing to take, for you and for the kids." he said, kissing my forehead softly.

I looked at him and smiled, embracing him.

"I love you, Tony." I said softly.

"I love you too, Rebecca." He said, tightening the hug.

So he would. He would go against Jules for me. Against the gang for me. Good. That was all I needed to know. Now, it was time to put the plan in action…


I HAVE NO REAL EXCUSE FOR TAKING SO LONG, BUT SORRY. I HAD SCHOOL STUFF, THEN YESTERDAY I HAD TO GET MY WISDOM TEETH TAKEN OUT. MY MOUTH STILL HURTS AND TASTES LIKE BLOOD. BUT AT LEAST I'M NOT THRASHING BOUT AND CRYING MY EYES OUT. KINDA LATE VALENTINE'S DAY BIT, BUT WHATEVER. THIS STORY IS ALMOST DONE, SAD I KNOW, BUT WHATCHA GONNA DO, HUH? I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED. NO FLAMES. PEACE OUT!
