In the Making

After Kira is gone, Matt and Mello decide to start a family. Of course, for them, that also involves adopting a kid. But when the Mafia Mello was a part of tracks them down, things are nowhere near calm and peaceful. AU, Matt and Mello don't die. Rating for swearing in general, as well as a bit of suggestiveness from Matt and Mello, mainly Matt.

IN THE MAKING

Chapter 11:

Debt

A.N. I had planned this chapter to be a MattXMello lemon, however I decided to leave it out so I wouldn't have to worry about changing the rating of the story. Also, the damn thing was taking forever, so I didn't want to have to make you guys wait. When, if ever, I finish the lemon, I'll post it separately.

Yay, into the actual plot! Yes, those previous chapters were nothing more than fillers until I came up with something, and maybe a bit of character development on the side.

For those that were camping, the week went by quickly. Before they new it, Saturday rolled around and they left as the sun began to set.

Sonya was the first one dropped off. Delilah helped her get the suitcase out of the back of the truck before climbing back inside.

The redhead stood next to the corner of her house and waved until the camper behind the truck reached the road.

"Mells, how are you going to pay them back?" Sonya heard Matt ask as she opened the door quietly.

"I'm not sure, and honestly," Mello replied, "I'm scared of what they may do until I can. You know just as well as I do what they're capable of when they want money."

"Papa, what are you talking about?" Sonya asked suddenly. "Who do you have to pay back? What do you owe them?"

Mello jumped slightly, surprised. "Don't worry about it Sonya," the blande said, "it's not all that important."

She could tell that he was lying, but not wanting to start and argument, Sonya nodded and started dragging her suitcase upstairs.

As she was unpacking, Sonya couldn't help but wonder what her step-parents were talking about.

In the past 10 years since they adopted me, they never hid anything from me, she thought, tossing another t-shirt into the corner of her room, so why would they start now? Does this have something to do with the mafia?

A.N. I know this chapter was short, and I apologize. Also, as a heads up, the next two chapters after this will be too.
