Both Melina and Brie were closing in on their seven month. No word from Charlotte or Raya, which didn't sit well with anyone.
"So how have you been feeling?", Melina asked Brie.
"Tired. I really want this baby out of me now. I can't wait to see his or hers face. I hope they have Dean's eyes and dimples.", Brie gushed.
Melina giggled.
"And how's the future prince? I bet dad was happy when you told him it's a boy.", Bayley said.
"He was. Finally, a little man after so many girls", Melina said.
Veronica rubbed Melina's bump.
"Any names?", Nikki asked.
"A few, but its so hard to decide. We are just going to wait till he's born. Maybe it will just come to us.", Melina said.
The sisters nodded.
"Does anyone else know you are having a boy?", Veronica asked.
"No. Only you girls, and thanks again Brie for letting me use your doctor.", she replied.
"No problem. She's great right.", Brie said.
Nick handed Raya the file on Brie. She opened it and smiled.
"She's having boys", she said.
"Is that a good thing?", Matt asked, looking at his brother.
Raya nodded.
"It's a very good thing. I've always wanted boys, and now I've got two. I've got big plans for those twins", she smiled.
"Wait, you want us to take her twins?", Nick asked.
"Yes. Kill her and I get them. I will raise them the way they should be.", Raya said.
"We can't just walk into a hospital and steal babies.", Nick said.
"Who said anything about a hospital? No, we will be taking her before she gives birth, cutting those twins out and keeping them.", Raya said.
"What about…", she cut Matt off.
"Does it look like I give a shit about her? Melina is too far out of my reach. I don't know what she is having, so kidnapping her and getting lucky with a boy is a coin toss.", Raya said.
Matt and Nick shared a look. They didn't feel good about this.
Brie had needed a few things from the store before she went into full nesting mode. Dean didn't want her leaving the house as much since she really couldn't protect herself.
She had Ronnie drive her.
"These baby outfits are so cute.", Brie gushed.
Ronnie nodded with a smile.
"What's wrong?", Brie asked.
"You and Mel make this pregnancy thing look so easy. I just don't know if I can do it, or if I'll end up like…", she stopped.
"You won't. You have to believe me when I say that. Besides that, you aren't the only one who had those fears. Mel and I did too. Especially Mel", Brie said.
Ronnie looked at her sister.
"Melina?", she asked.
Brie nodded.
"She says she put off having kids to help raise us, but that's only partly true. She was terrified. If Raya could walk away from her own babies, maybe she could too. Dad spoke with her", Brie said.
Ronnie nodded. As they finished up, they made their way to the car. Ronnie let Brie get in while she packed up the car. Hearing an engine revving, Ronnie looked around. Seeing a silver Impala coming right to their car.
"Brie", Ronnie shouted and pulled out her gun.
She shot several times at the window. Final shot hit the driver and he slightly turned, hitting the front side and missing Brie's door. Ronnie quickly checked on her sister. Brie had jumped over to the driver side. She was shaking.
"B", Ronnie said softly, trying not to scare her sister.
Brie looked at her. Ready to burst into tears. Ronnie looked at the man in the other car and made her way to him. She had shot him in the chest and he was bent over in pain.
"Get out", she shouted.
"Go fuck yourself", he replied.
She pointed the gun at his leg and shot him. He screamed.
"Get. Out", she repeated.
He did, slowly.
"Who sent you? I am only going to ask that once.", she said.
He swallowed.
"Charlotte Flair", he answered.
She nodded.
Dean had gotten the call from Ronnie. She said she would meet them at the hospital. Getting there, Dean ran to the room Ronnie had texted Roman.
"Are you okay? The babies?", he asked quickly.
Roman went over to his wife.
"We are fine. Just a little shaken.", Brie replied.
"What happened?", Roman asked.
"Charlotte sent someone to kill Brie, along with the twins", Ronnie said.
Dean growled and Brie cupped his face.
"I heard Ronnie shout my name, I noticed the car coming right at me and so I jumped to the driver seat. Thankfully Ronnie shot him", Brie explained.
"Doctor checked on the twins, they are completely fine", Ronnie added.
Dean sighed.
"Its too bad that son of a bitch is with the cops now", Dean mumbled.
"Not really", Ronnie said.
They all looked at her. She shrugged.
"I called in a favor.", she added.
"With who?", Roman asked.
"AJ", she said.
"I want to see him. Now", Dean said.
"He's all yours.", Ronnie replied.
Roman called AJ to let him know they were on their way to see the guy who tried to kill Brie. Dean was beyond pissed.
"Charlotte sent him. What are we going to do about her?", Roman asked.
"Gut her", Dean replied.
Roman nodded. They arrived to AJ's club. He welcomed them when they entered.
"Has he said anything?", Roman asked.
"No. Just keeps reminding us that he was just doing his job. He didn't know Brie was pregnant", AJ replied.
"Bullshit. He had to have seen her before she got in the car", Dean replied.
"Agreed", AJ nodded.
"What did you tell the cops?", Roman asked.
"That the guy took off on foot", AJ chuckled.
Getting to the back, the guy was tied to a chair. As soon as he saw Dean, the blood from his face drained. He swallowed.
"Do what you need too. My guys can clean up the mess after you're done", AJ said.
Dean clenched his hands into fists. Roman and AJ walked out.
"Any news on Raya?", Roman asked.
"None. Sorry.", AJ replied.
Roman nodded.
"What's going to happen with Charlotte now?", AJ asked.
"Dead. She shouldn't have messed with my sister in law or my future nieces or nephews", Roman replied.
"Still don't know what they are having?", AJ asked.
"They want to keep it a secret till birth.", Roman replied.
"My wife wanted to do that, but as she got closer, she couldn't take not knowing anymore", AJ chuckled.
Roman laughed softly.
"How is Casey and the baby?", Roman asked.
"Great. You and Ronnie should stop by sometime", AJ said.
"V would love that. We've just been so busy with protecting Brie, we haven't had time", Roman replied.
"I get it", he nodded.
Dean came out a few minutes later. Hands shaking and red with blood.
"Is he dead?", AJ asked.
Dean nodded.
"We'll clean it up. You should get yourself cleaned up before you go and see the mother of your children", AJ said, before walking past them.
Roman sighed.
"Feel better?", he asked.
"No. I can't help but think what could have happened to Brie or the babies if…", he stopped and shook his head.
"Nothing did happen. Thank god. Now, you should stay the night at the hospital with Brie. I'll have Jimmy and Jey keep watch outside your door", Roman said.
Dean nodded.
Getting back to the hospital, Brie was asleep. Ronnie stood and let Dean take the seat beside Brie's bed.
"Call us if you need anything", Ronnie whispered to him.
He nodded and she kissed the top of his head. Getting to their car, Roman sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"Tired?", Ronnie asked softly.
He shook his head no and reached over for her hand. Taking it in his, he brought it to his lips and kissed it.
"I know I've been extra busy lately. Want to do something before heading home? Dinner? A movie? Ice cream?", he said.
"I was thinking something a little more, naked.", she replied.
He smirked.
"I love that idea, but can we get ice cream first?", he said.
She giggled and nodded.
Melina made her way to the office. Her dad was with Andrade and Baron.
"And which one of you was going to tell me Charlotte almost killed my sister?", she asked.
Slamming the door behind her.
"I told them not too. You're pregnant and that is where your mind needs to be. On my grandson", Garcia said.
"Bullshit. I want Brie home. Now. She will be safer here", Melina replied.
Garcia nodded.
"I can't agree more", he replied.
"Dean isn't going to like that", Baron added.
"Well tough shit. Its for Brie's safety and the safety of those twins", Melina said.
The three men nodded.
"I will go down there myself", Garcia said.
