"A boy, I have a grandson! A boy, oh good lord you have been good!"
"Stop your screaming honey you'll wake both Ann and little Antonio!"
"How can I stay calm I have a grandson. Just think he'll bring the Innocence back to its once great power."
Jake who was standing down the hall listening to the conversation now joined. He'd be damned if his son would take part in the gangs. No it wouldn't happen.
"Antonio will never know what has gone on for far to long! It stops once Chris is through with this stupid grudge! Am I understood?"
"Of course you are dear your father-in-law knows nothing but the gang. You must see he means no real harm."
"Just so we're clear on it."
Jake turned on his heel and headed to Ann. She would be asleep but he needed to be near her. When he entered he saw that she was up and feeding Antonio. She looked sullen and upset. Had she heard the argument? If she did, did she think he was in the wrong or agree with him?
Ann smiled at her husband after a near eleven years it still shocked her that they were indeed man and wife. It felt good, even more so now that she held his son in her arms. What's going to happen with Chris though? Jake had said there would be trouble but nothing all week. Oh if only they would get word on something. From the looks of it, it killed Jake to think something might happen with her just giving birth. Was there a threat made while she was in labor or was it something else.
"Jake, tell me what's wrong I can't stand you like this."
"Oh nothing really just your father."
"What is he doing to put us in jeopardy now?"
"Oh nothing just saying that he now has someone to take over the Innocence when he's dead and I won't have it Ann. He will not know the trouble we are in."
"Of course he won't even if I have to take him away. He will know nothing of the hardships we've faced."
"Well I'm glad we see eye to eye love."
"Stop your screaming honey you'll wake both Ann and little Antonio!"
