Standing in her old home with Jake and Tyler on both sides of her she couldn't be happier. This was everything she wanted. She was afraid when her father had shown up that he would take Ty and her and leave. Making Jake think that she was dead. Jake wouldn't give up that easy and he just might have came after her and Ty and kill her father in the process. This was perfect. Oh wait she thought to soon...
"Well looky here if it isn't our princess home after ten years. Not to mention pregnant and married when she has been claimed for so many years."
"Is there a matter you need to discuss with me about my wife or my daughter."
Ann covered Ty's eyes as Rich drew his gun and smiled at Jake. He was provoking Jake and Ann had to do something.
"Hold it there my daughter will not be exposed to his life you understand me. You never claimed and you never had me. Do you understand?"
"Yeah I get ya." Rich pocketed the gun and walked away with a scowl.
"Ahh there you are good now why don't you three come into my office and see you grandmamma."
Jake composed himself and walked in behind Ann and Tyler. It was those to Queen wanted to see no doubt. What was with Rich had he no decency? To pull a gun in front of Ty. He would have been baited if it wasn't for Ann's quick thinking. Oh if that man ever shows his face to Ty or Ann again he would kill him.
Jake looked up to see everyone staring at him. They had asked him something that he hadn't heard. Great what a way to start this. This wasn't his fault though if Rich hadn't made his move he would not have been thinking of him and would have been paying attention to his family.
"Jake darling are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Of course I can handle Rich. In plus we have nowhere else to stay."
King stood and looked at him very sternly.
"What did Rich do now!"
"Nothing just pulled a gun in front of Ty and I won't have her subjected to that life. He threatened my wife and my children.
"Oh my baby you're pregnant again. How wonderful and we'll be able to be there for the labor. Oh this is so wonderful I have a granddaughter and another on the way."
"Yes mother I'm having a son now. We were thinking to name him Ryan Walker. How does that sound to you?"
"Oh yes a Ryan would be perfect. It could not have been a better name."
Two months passed and there was no word of any Lords causing trouble so Jake took it upon himself so go see what improvements on the Innocents side could be done to help make peace. It was nice to get away. Tyler had a fit like none he had ever seen. She screamed and hollered and stomped all afternoon. Ann had listened to her and was very stern but said nothing back to fuel Tyler's temper any more then it was. Was this what Ann endured every day when he left for work. Did she constantly have to hear the demons that possessed his pint size daughter?
Jake was on the way home when a motorcycle pulled up and stopped right next to him. He was ready for a fight Rich had worked him up and he just wanted someone to trip up, to get him mad enough to fight. Instead he got a slap on the back and a smile from Chris!
"Hey man you said awhile not a decade! Where have you been? Got us worried you did."
"Well Chris I got married to a wonderful woman and I have a daughter and a son on the way."
"Wife! Kids! Man who got a hold of you? I thought you wouldn't ever get married. Looks like I was wrong ehh?"
"Yeah well she had it in for me and we haven't fought once cept for what to call the kids and who ran up the phone bill."
"Wow, man this woman really got a hold on you then. I pity you I have been single all this time and I am having a blast. Oh it's great I have women lined up or me. I got the power now and they can't get it over me. Ann really got me to realize that I should have the power not her. Oh I'd thank her if I could."
"Well I'd love for you to come to dinner tonight at the Manor. We could catch up on old times and you could meet my wife. Oh and Tyler she is the most amazing child you could ever meet."
"The Manor eh? I thought that belonged to the leader of the Innocents."
"It does but I live there so you won't be hurt. We want to end this fight."
"Alright but who's you're wife?"
"See you Chris tonight at 7 ok? Bye!"
