"Natalie, did you here me, prove to me you don't love me by making love with me and if you don't feel anything I'll let you get back to your... your new life" Chris said as Natalie thought about it for a minute, she slowly opened the lock of the door and went out.
"'It wouldn't be making love, it would be sex, and if it's going to get me back to John then I will." Natalie told him as he walked in front of him and looked into his cold eyes.
"You love him that much to have sex with someone just to get back to him? Or is that maybe you don't want to but you still love me?" Chris asked her, as he got closer to her.
"I love him that much and if it'll get me back to him then I'll do it, I'd do anything to get back to him and his safe arms" Natalie told Chris as she didn't move away from him. They just stared at each other for a few minutes.
"Maybe you just want to make love with me because you still love me?" Chris told her not breaking eye contact.
"Well if that's what you wanna think, think it'll be making love to you, fantasize that it'll be love and like it use to be, go right ahead, but I won't be, I won't be thinking it's love, it won't be love for me, just something I've gotta do to get back to the man I really love." Natalie told him hoping to see a glimmer of the man Chris use to be, a glimmer that stopped all this before she had to be with him that way.
MeanwhileJohn, Bo and Antonio arrived at the address Carlotta gave them. Antonio rang the bell and a big man came to the door. Because Antonio was a Santi and most of the organization knew of him and that he was Christian's family the man let him in. Bo pulled his gun on the man and Antonio and John made there way up to the bedroom that the man told Antonio that Nat and Chris were in. Antonio and John both stopped at the door to the room and they listened for movement, it was very important that Chris not feel threatened or he might do something reckless and although they didn't think he would ever intentionally hurt Natalie they just didn't want to take that chance.
Inside the room
"How do you love him more than you love me? How is your love different?" Chris asked her starting to soften at least she thought she saw him start to soften
"I'm not really sure how to describe it, it just is" Natalie told him and she saw him get impatient so she started to describe it the best she could.
"I feel it with my whole body, my love for him, it comes from somewhere deep inside me, my soul. I loved you Chris and I mourned you but our love was first love, it taught me I could love and that was it's purpose, but John, his love is the forever together kind of love, an awful twist of fate brought our hearts together when we were younger and now our hearts have found their way back to each other. That is the best way I can explain it, will you please just let me go, go home to him " Natalie asked almost begging him
"I can't do that Natalie, you were mine first, I still love you" Chris said as he walked away from her a few feet with his back to her.
"Then do it Damn it! Right now! Take me so we can get this over with and I can get back to him. Take me now!" Natalie said as she ran up into his face, she pushed him back as she used her words. She pushed him back so far he was at the foot of the bed. With one final push she pushed him on the bed and she landed on top of him.
"Is this what you want Chris, This, come on lets get it over with, use your mind and your hands and make love to me, the one last time you've been dreaming about, do it!" Natalie said wanting this over, if this was it, if this was what he really wanted, if this was what he dreamt about for the last year, than she wanted it done, over, she couldn't go on like this anymore. She erratically started to undo his belt and she felt him push her back. He pushed her off of him and he stood up.
"Not what you pictured when you dreamt about it Huh? Not what you imagined is it? Not what you remembered is it?" she told him coldly. Chris just shook his head and didn't know what to say.
"What's the matter Cat got your tongue or is it saving all it's energy for my throat" Natalie said bitterly and Chris turned and walked closer to her, he was mad at this point, at first he forgot, forgot who he was, what he was, part of the Santi's, a man who took what he wanted, for a few minutes there with her, he was just Chris Vega, the kind artist, but now he realized, realized she shouldn't talk to him like that, realized that although she didn't want to still be his wife, she still was and it was time he took his wife back, in more ways than one.
He moved even closer and Natalie saw the look in his eyes, the harsh look that she knew wasn't good. She saw the anger in his face and his fists were squeezed together as he approached her.
"Get away from me!" She screamed and John heard it from outside. John couldn't hold back any longer, he couldn't wait outside for the perfect time and He barged into the room with his gun pointed.
The door slammed open and John pointed the gun at Chris who had his hands on the buttons of Natalie's blouse.
"Let go of my wife or I'll shoot" John told him as Antonio also entered the room. Chris was about to grab Natalie and pull her in front of him when John didn't waste anytime and he shot him in the leg. Chris grabbed his leg and Natalie wasted no time running to John. John put one arm around her as he still had the gun pointed at Chris. He pulled her into his chest and she held on to him as if her life depended on it, and it did. Her life depended on John, since she was a little girl the outcome of her life had depended on him, on who he was and who he would be, and right now who he was, was her husband, in her heart and in her soul, even if legally it wasn't so, that's who he was. And that's who he was always meant to be.
After a few minutes passed Bo and a few officers came upstairs and arrested Chris.
John put his gun down and held her with both arms, he pulled her out of his embrace not to far and looked at her, she was okay, she was going to be okay, his angel, his life, his destiny.
"Lets get you to the hospital so Mikey can check you out" He said and he saw her about to protest when he again spoke.
"I wanna make sure my wife and my child are alright," John said as he gave her a small smile, which she mirrored with her own.
