Part: 10 of 18
Tuesday December 26th
The next day when Mia, Brian, Letty and Dom woke up it was already 12:30 p.m. They all got up and got dressed. Then they went down and had lunch together.
"Hey where's the guys," Mia asked noticing how quit it was in the house.
"I haven't seen them since last night. Are you sure they're home," Dom asked.
"I could have sworn I heard them stumble in this morning around 7:30 or so," Mia said.
"Well I'll go check the basement," Brian said heading to the basement.
When he got down there he noticed that none of them were there but there were beer bottles all over the place.
"They're not down there. Are any of the cars here," Brian asked coming back up.
"No I already checked. They must have went out or something," Dom said.
"Yeah they must have," Mia said.
They all sat down in the dining room and started eating lunch which was left over breakfast from yesterday.
"So you ready to go," Brian asked Mia after the dishes were done and put away.
"Yeah let me just go get my purse," Mia said heading off to her bedroom.
"So where are you two headed," Dom asked raising an eyebrow.
"We're going to go into town to just look around," Brian said.
"So are we, you want to just go with us," Letty asked.
"Sure," Mia said coming back down.
"Ok let's go then," Letty said once they already to go.
They all went down to the garage where the car was. As they were leaving Brian thought he saw Tom's car across the street from the house.
"Hey Dom I think before we leave you might want to make sure that the door closes all the way," Brian said.
"Why," Dom asked looking into the mirror so he could see Brian.
"Because I think that Tom's car is across the street," Brian said.
"No that's Jake our next door neighbor's car," Dom said giving Brian a look that clearly said 'Yeah that's his' but thankfully Letty nor Mia saw it.
But Dom still waited to make sure the door was closed that way he knew that Tom couldn't get into their house.
"Brian do you mind if we stop in the chocolate shop before we leave," Mia asked as they were approaching town.
"Sure we'll go wherever you want to," Brian said.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you," Dom said.
"Ha ha. I can't wait for the day when you have children," Mia said not noticing the look on Letty's face.
"And why is that dear sister," Dom asked as he was parking the car.
"Because then I can tease you when Letty says she wants to go somewhere," Mia said.
"Well that'll be awhile before that happens, right Letty," Dom asked.
"Yeah," Letty said not her usual self but Dom didn't seem to notice.
"Ok what time should we meet back here," Brian asked looking at his watch since he didn't have his cellphone.
He had to leave it at home because the cops but a tracking device after he let Vince go.
"How about four," Dom asked.
"Sure," Mia said.
"How about we meet around two at the coffee shop and see if anyone's ready to go. If we're not then we'll just meet at the car at four," Letty asked.
"Sounds like a plan," Brian said.
"Ok it's set," Dom said starting to get out of the car.
After Brian got out of the car he went around to the other side to help Mia out. As Mia was getting out he noticed that Tom was across the street from them. He didn't want to spoil the day so he decided to just keep quit but Dom saw Tom too. Dom decided that he'd stay close to Mia all day just to make sure Tom didn't try anything.
"See you guys in a couple of hours. Don't forget," Letty hollered to Mia and Brian's retreating backs.
"Ok," Brian yelled back turning around to say it.
Brian and Mia headed to the ring shop.
"May I help you with something," the store owner asked.
"No we're just looking," Mia said.
"Ok let me know if there's something that I may help you with," the store owner said.
"Will do," Mia said.
"So do you know what you want or are we just going to look," Brian asked.
"I know for the most part but I still want to look for sure," Mia said heading over to the rings.
"Ok," Brian said.
Meanwhile Dom and Letty were coming up the street to the shop.
"Letty how may I help you," Barb the shop owner's wife asked as soon as she saw Letty walk in.
"I'm just looking this time," Letty said.
"I thought you'd already settled on a ring," Barb said.
"Not yet," Letty said.
"Been in here looking a lot," Dom asked.
"No," Letty said looking up at Dom.
"Yes she's been here just as much as I have been," Mia said coming over to her.
"Thought so," Dom said.
"So I have been. I still haven't decided which ring I want," Letty said
"Either have I," Mia said.
"Well you two go look and we'll be over here sitting," Dom said.
"Ok," Letty and Mia said walking off.
"So how long do you think it'll take them," Brian asked.
"An hour to two. By the way Tom's right outside the shop he's over at the coffee shop so stay close to her," Dom said.
"Don't worry I will," Brian said.
"So how exactly are we going to pay for these," Brian asked.
"The money from your bank account in the U.S. has been transferred here," Dom said.
"Ok. So I need to set up all fake accounts or what," Brian asked.
"Already done. It's all been taken care of. And it's no problem," Dom said seeing that Brian was about to say thanks.
Back at the house one of the rooms was getting a total make over and only one person out of the two couples knew anything about it.
Two hours later Mia and Letty were finally ready to go. The girls showed the boys which ring it was that they wanted which were the same price only because they both were 14 K gold. They each cost 1,400 dollars.
"Ok since it's now three we're going to do some more shopping then we'll meet you at the car at four," Mia said.
"How about we meet at the coffee shop," Letty asked still not knowing that Tom was over there.
"Sure," Mia said.
"See you in a bit then," Brian said as they headed to the door.
"Bye," Dom and Letty said at the same time.
"Chocolate shop," Brian asked hand on Mia's stomach.
"No the baby shop and then the chocolate shop," Mia said.
"Ok," Brian said and with that they headed over there.
About thirty minutes after they got there Mia was ready to leave.
"Didn't find what you were looking for," Brian asked.
"Yeah but I want to wait to see if we have boys, girls or one of each," Mia said.
"Do you have any clothes yet," Brian asked.
"Yeah some but I want to wait until they're born before we get anymore," Mia said.
"Oh ok," Brian said.
"Ok now to the chocolate shop. Don't worry I'll only be a couple of minutes," Mia said heading out the door.
Good to her word about two minutes after they got into the shop they were out with about six pounds of chocolate.
"Sure you can eat all that," Brian asked on their way to the coffee shop.
"Only about half of one pound is mine the guys asked me to get some for them since they go through it like beer," Mia said.
"Oh that makes sense. Hey what do you want to drink," Brian asked as they got to the coffee shop.
"House special number one," Mia said taking a seat at the table Dom and Letty had already gotten.
"Ok. You two want anything," Brian asked looking at Letty and Dom.
"Same as Mia," Dom said.
"Just get me a chocolate caramel coffee," Letty said.
"Ok I'll be right back," Brian said and headed inside.
By time he got back out his hands felt like they were on fire.
"Here let me take these two," Dom said standing up and taking Mia's and Letty's from Brian's hands.
"Thank," Brian said sitting down after handing Dom his.
"No problem," Dom said.
They just sat there for about an hour drinking their coffees and talking. Brian found that he liked the House special number 1. All it was, was coffee with a shot or liquor or caramel which is what Brian, Letty and Mia had in theirs.
By the time they got home it was suppertime. Letty really wasn't looking forward to cooking so Brian and Dom had decided while the girls rested they would cook. They were in the shock of their lives when they got home and saw that food had already been made for them.
"Who made this," Letty asked coming into the house.
"Vince and Leon," Jess said.
"Sorry we would have waited for you guys but we didn't know how long you'd be," Vince said wiping his mouth.
"That's fine we'll just re-warm it up," Letty said.
"We just started eating about two minutes ago," Leon said.
"Ok then let me just go put this away and I'll be right back down," Mia said taking the candy to her room followed by Brian.
"Hey how are you doing," Brian asked.
"Good why," Mia asked.
"I was just wondering. Did you take your blood pressure pills," Brian asked.
"Yeah before you got up. I got up around seven and that's why I heard the boys come in. I went back to sleep until noon because of the pills," Mia said starting to head down stairs again.
"You could have woken me," Brian said.
"No you needed your rest besides it's all going to be good Friday because I'm going to talk to my doctor about getting onto the shot when I have my doctor's visit and yes you're coming," Mia said seeing the look on Brian's face.
"Good I want to be there," Brian said.
"Well let's go eat," Mia said and with that they went down.
Dom and Letty were waiting for them and to their surprise they saw that Jess had stopped eating and was waiting for them to come down. What they didn't know was Letty had threatened to make Jess do all the dishes and clean up if he didn't and he didn't want to do that.
