The next morning, Mia decided to eat her breakfast outside on the porch.
She had just sat down in the swing when a black Honda civic pulled into the
driveway across the street. A woman got out of the car and began to walk up
to the door when Brian came out of the house shrugging into the denim
jacket he held.
Mia watched Brian walk straight up to the woman and say something to her, the woman in turn said something back to him and then turned and going back to her car and took off down the street. Mia caught Brian's eye when he looked over and saw her watching.
Brian slowly made his way over to her.
"Hey" Brian said softly.
"Good to see that you were able to move on" Mia said coldly, hoping that tears that threatened to fall wouldn't fall until after he left.
"I could say the same for you" Brian said pointing to her stomach, "but then there's the truth, that I haven't gotten over you. And that woman is a police detective sent to try and get information on my family and the rest of my team, she's getting shitty cause I keep telling her to fuck off and stay away" Brian said sitting down beside Mia on the swing.
"Then you would be mistaken as well cause this is your baby that I am carrying" Mia said softly, looking at him she could see that he didn't expect her to say that.
"How far along are you?" Brian asked starring at Mia's stomach.
"I'm nearly six months" Mia said tears beginning to fall from her eyes.
"Mia don't cry please, I love you so much" Brian said wrapping Mia up in a hug and pulling her onto his lap.
"I can't help it Brian it's the hormones they are making me cry at almost everything I'm sorry," Mia said letting the tears fall freely now.
"Don't be sorry Mia your carrying our baby, it's perfectly natural, I remember when Z had VJ it was funny the guys and I gave Z so much shit and she would flip out in the most hilarious ways" Brian told her placing a kiss on her cheek.
"I'd believe that" Mia laughed.
"Where were you going before?" Mia asked.
"I was going to see Ryder, I am assuming that my brother told you why he was in jail" Brian said. When Mia shook her head he continued "a thug pulled a knife on him and he somehow managed to turn the knife back on the thug, sent the guy to hospital. These thugs started giving Suki trouble that's why she came to LA, she didn't want these guys to find out about VJ so she led them away from Zora and VJ. Suki wanted to stay and meet you all, I was going to let her but she made the mistake of telling me that the thugs had followed her, I told her no way was I going to lead these guys to you, I wouldn't do it. I was going to see Ryder to update him on things. Break it to him that I haven't been able to get hold of Seth or Ronnie, it probably be the first time I am thankful that Ryder is in that place, he'll be pissed as all hell" Brian said chuckling as he said the last part.
"Who are Seth and Ronnie?" Mia asked as she ran a hand threw Brian's hair.
"Seth and Veronica are my younger brother and sister, Seth is in New York and Ronnie is in New Jersey"
"How any siblings do you have Brian?" Mia asked wondering just how many siblings he had.
"I am the second eldest of 8, three sisters, Zora Veronica and Suki, 4 brothers, Ryder Seth and twins Tobias and Tyson" Brian said smiling slightly.
"8! Brian I." Mia began to say shock taking her ability to speak.
"Mia I don't expect you to have that many hell I'll understand if you want nothing to do with me but Mia I love you and I'll do anything you want me to do to prove to you that I am worthy to be with you, marry me Mia?" Brian asked placing his hands on both sides of her face to wipe away the tears that began to flow again.
"Mia baby please don't cry, I don't like to see you cry" Brian said kissing away the tears.
"Get used to the tears Brian, it's all part of pregnancy, and yes Brian I will marry you" Mia said through her tears smiling down at Brian. Brian grinned back up at Mia but before he could say a word Suki ran up onto the porch.
When she spotted Brian rubbing Mia's stomach, she glared at her.
"So this is why you wanted mama's ring, did she trap you Bri?" Suki spat. Brian gently lifted Mia up off his lap and stood up.
"Now listen here brat, if you remember correctly I rang Dad for mama's ring months ago before I knew about the baby and don't you dare try and bad mouth Mia you don't know her brat," Brian yelled at the girl. Mia watched as the other girl recoil at Brian's words and voice, she saw fear flash into her eyes.
"Brian!" Mia said placing a hand on his arm, hoping that she could calm him down, she'd seen Letty calm Dom down like this a million times and preyed that it would work for her, and thankfully it did because Brian took a step back and turned to her. Brian looked at Mia, when Mia stepped backwards after looking into his eyes he stalked to the other side of the porch with his back to the two women.
"Suki I think you should go home" Mia said softly, the other girl nodded and walked back over to her house.
"Bri are you okay?" Mia asked softly, she'd seen the anger in his eyes; even though it hadn't been directed at her it had scared her.
"I'm sorry Mia, Suki is known for jumping to conclusions I think that's why she gets into so much trouble," Brian said turning around and leaning on the rail.
"Snowman, long time no see," Vince said coming out on to the porch.
"Hey Vince how are you?" Brian said stepping forward and shaking the other man's hand.
"Mia did he make you cry?" Vince asked noticing Mia's red eyes.
Mia watched Brian walk straight up to the woman and say something to her, the woman in turn said something back to him and then turned and going back to her car and took off down the street. Mia caught Brian's eye when he looked over and saw her watching.
Brian slowly made his way over to her.
