And I keep forgetting to say that FOUR BROTHERS isn't mine, but Alyssa and Ryaina are mine.
>>>>So I left off where Angel went off to do some work on his own, right? Right!
10:21 a.m. Jack and Bobby went to the hit-men's' house to search their stuff. And Sofi went shopping (Gold-digger)
Alyssa and I were sitting in the living room watching TV when my stomach lurched. I grabbed my stomach and gagged. "Oh shit…!" I gasped running to the bathroom, getting there just in time to spew my breakfast into the toilet. I sat on the floor shaking+This can't be happening! This can't be happening+ I cried over and over in my head. +It's probably just the flu. Yeah! The Flu+ I eased myself, a tear slid down my cheek. I washed my mouth out with mouthwash a few times before walking back into the living room with Alyssa. Alyssa looked at me as I sat down, "You okay?" She asked.
"Yeah I think so." I said hoarsely, "Hey Alyssa, do you think it's possible I've got the flu?"
Alyssa shook her head, "Well practically everything's possible, but I don't think you've got the flu. No one I can think of has it and we weren't really anywhere else. Why do you ask?"
I got teary eyed and brought my knees to my chin, "I think I'm pregnant…" I said in a hoarse whisper. Alyssa's mouth was agape as she stared at me.
"We have to go to the drug-store!" Alyssa cried jumping up and grabbing my wrist.
Alyssa and I darted back into the house and I ran upstairs. Alyssa and I had bought every different pregnancy test the store had. I did all the tests and sat on the covered toilet, waiting for them to beep in 3 minutes. +What if I am pregnant! What am I going to do? Does Jack want to be a father? What are my other brothers going to think? Ha! Bobby, Jerms, and Angel wont care, they'll just laugh and congratulate me and Jack. But does Jack want to be a dad? What is the chance that the first time I do this, I get pregnant! I mean come on! What would Evelyn say+ My thoughts were interrupted by a beep, then another and another, and then the last one beeped. I jumped off the seat and grabbed the first test. +1 line for yes, 2 lines for no…+ I took a deep breath and looked at the screen.
1 line…SHIT! It's okay. I've still have 3 more tests! This one could just be dysfunctional+ I threw the test in the trash and grabbed the next test. +This on is 1 dot for yes, 2 dots for no…+
2 dots…What the hell? Okay next test.+ I threw that test in the trash and grabbed the next. +Okay, yes for pregnant, no for not pregnant. That's easy enough.+
Yes. Dammit+ "Okay one more…" I threw the third test away and picked up the next one. +Last test, don't fail me. Pregnant or not pregnant, well that's easy as 1-2-3.+ I closed my eyes tightly and took a few deep breaths.
Pregnant…+ I fell to the floor and started crying. (A/N: Okay, I don't think that the birth symtomes work that fast but I had to do that now cause it ties in with the end. Your fine out soon enough what I'm talking about) I felt a warm ghostly pressure on my back, "Oh Rain! It's okay honey! I love you and so does Alyssa and you're brothers…and Jack loves you as water is wet!" A kind voice said behind me. +It can't be…+ I looked up at the kind smiling face of my mother, Evelyn Mercer.
I smiled, "Mom…!" I whispered, "What do I do? And most of all what will Jack think?" She smiled at me, "You're the one in-love with him. What does your heart say?" I looked down and then back up. "He wont care that I'm pregnant. He'll still love me and this child." Evelyn smiled and nodded, I smiled back and looked down. +I've got to tell Jack.+ I looked back up at Evelyn, but she was gone. +Is this what happened to Jack at dinner those few nights ago?" I asked myself. I threw the last test into the trash then I dumped the bathroom trashcan into the dumpster outside so I could tell Jack personally and he and my brothers didn't find the tests in the trashcan and find out. +Well they could think that they were Sofi's.+
After I finished that, I went back to the living room and plopped down onto the couch. Alyssa looked over at me, "And…?"
"And…what?" I teased with a serious face.
"Are you pregnant!" Alyssa cried.
I smiled, "If you and Bobby get married, would you like to be the godparents?" I asked, Alyssa squealed and hugged me. "I can't wait for five months to see if it's a boy or a girl! I need to know now!" She cried as I chuckled at her.
"You're more excited than I am. But I can't wait until 9 months is over." I mumbled.
>Everyone was back (including Jerms and Sofi) at the house and I had been trying to talk to Jack ever since he and Bobby had gotten back. "Just a second, Rain!" Jack said kissing me on the cheek. I growled and jumped on the couch.
"Any luck?" Alyssa asked, I shook my head. I heard Bobby shuffling through a duffle bag that they had brought back with them. "Hey look at this." I heard Jack say, Alyssa and I got curious and walked over to them. Jack was showing Bobby a picture on a digital camera. I looked at it, it was a picture of mom and her lawyer guy.
"I thought he said he had only met her once?" Bobby said getting agitated.
"They were tracking her. They were tracking mom." Jack said flipping through the pictures.
"Well lets go talk to him." Angel said trying to walk out the door but Sofi blocked him.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"We've got to go talk to a guy about mom. It's important." Angel said trying to get away.
"Yeah? Well I've been in the kitchen cooking for the past 2 hours! I thought we were going to have a nice dinner!" Sofi whined, "You said it would be different!" She literally cried.
"Ah, you're breaking my heart." Bobby mocked.
"Don't start, Bobby!" Sofi yelled.
"Man I thought you were supposed to be tough, Angel!" Bobby said, walking out the front door, "Say good bye to your guys's big sister! Lets go!" Bobby yelled wrapping his arm around Alyssa, Jerms followed behind. Angel looked at Jack and I , "You both gunna leave me too?" Angel asked.
"What can I say? She's addicted!" Jack and I laughed, "She's addicted!" Jack said in a weird voice.
"Fine! I'll go!" Angel mumbled.
>The 6 of us broke into the lawyer's house, and were greeted by a little white poodle. Bobby bent over and picked it up. "You're not gunna bit me, are ya?" Bobby cooed, Alyssa and I chuckled. We all walked into his office and I, being a bit of a computer nerd, jumped on the computer and brought up his schedule. There was a lot of plans with a person with the initials of E.M. "Hey guys, come look at this." I said, and they all walked over to the computer. "So you guys think that E.M. stands for Evelyn Mercer?" I asked. Bobby was about to say something when there was a loud honking outside the house.
"ANGEL! I know you're in there! I can see you! Get out here right now! Hey everybody, there's people in the house!" Sofi yelled while honking the horn a few times.
Angel moaned, "Man you guys come with me. That bch is crazy…"
>Angel ran up to Sofi and tried to calm her down.
"Shhh! Baby, shhhh!" –Angel. We all got in a fight, trying to get Sofi to shut her mouth when a car pulled into the drive way.
"Hey guys, we've got a visitor!" Alyssa said. We all turned and Bobby ran over to the car and pulled out the lawyer guy.
"You lied to us! You said you had only met our mom once!" Bobby yelled pulling up the guys sweater and smacking him on the stomach. "Oh! Look at that! It make a nice big red hand print!"
"Bobby stop it!" Jerms said.
"No I'm going to keep doing it over…" Bobby hit his stomach again, "…and over…"Bobby hit his stomach again, "…and over until he tells us why he lied!" Bobby yelled, each time the lawyer whimpered in pain.
"Okay! Okay I'll talk!" The lawyer panted out of breath. "Well I guess I felt guilty."
"Why'd you feel guilty!" Angel asked.
"I don't know. I just did but your mother and I were seeing each other-sociably…" The lawyer said. Bobby helped him up and dusted the snow off of him. "Well I have some of her night things here…" The lawyer went on but bobby and I stopped him.
"What?" Bobby asked.
"Ew!" I cried, but nobody really noticed, except Jack who laughed.
"No, no, it's ok. It's just that we're trying to figure out what happened to our mother." Bobby said.
"Well I don't blame you. You're mother was a great person, and I would want to know also." The lawyer said.
"Thanks for understanding. Also, we broke your window in the back."
"That's okay. Now all of you run along and solve this mystery." The lawyer smiled. +This isn't Scooby Doo! What's with the 40's language+ I wondered.
>>Next Day
I still hadn't told Jack about our recent surprise and was about to when Angel called us all into the kitchen. "Ok, well yesterday I found out that Jerms got involved with some gangsters…"
"What!" Bobby roared, Jack, Alyssa and I flinched.
"Let me continue!" Angel said, then filled us in with everything that was going on with Jerms. In the end he pulled out an envelope and tossed it on the table which slid down and landed in front of Jack. Jack opened the envelope, and his eyes went wide. "There must be at least 5 grand in here!" Bobby jumped up and grabbed the phone.
"Bobby what are you doing?" Alyssa asked. He turned to her with a murderous look in his eyes…not for her but for Jerms.
"I'm gunna call Jeremiah over! If he had anything to do with mom's murder, then I'm gunna murder him!" Bobby growled. A few minutes later he hung up the phone. "He'll be over as soon as he can." Bobby said storming out of the kitchen, Alyssa followed him. She was really good at chilling people out, maybe she could help Bobby out. If she could tame that monster, than she had a special touch.
"He thinks I don't know! He thinks I'm stupid!" I heard Bobby in the other room rant. I looked across the table at Jack, I was gunna tell him now but he looked to pissed off to hear it. So once again, my announcement was postponed. I groaned at my stomach lurched again, but not enough to make me sick.
Jack looked up at me, "What's wrong, Rain?"
I groaned again, "I think I've caught the flu." I lied, "…but let's change the subject, do you ever want kids, Jack?" I pretended to ask out of know where. I needed to know! If he didn't want kids then I...don't know what I'll do.
He looked oddly at me. "Of course I do, I love kids. Why did you ask that question!"
I shrugged, "I don't know, it just came to mind first." I said like I didn't care.
Jack smiled at me. "I want to ask you a question…" I nodded for him to continue, "Do you want kids?"
"Of course, I want to have 2 or 3 of my own and then be a foster care mom." I smiled thinking about it. Jack smiled at me, "I want to do the same thing." We smiled at each other for a few seconds until someone, probably Jerms, walked through the door.
"Bobby, you called me over? What do you want?" Jerms asked. Jack and I walked into the living room where everyone else was, and sat on the couch with Alyssa.
Bobby glared at Jerms, "Yeah Jeremiah, what's with this!" Bobby yelled pulling out the envelope from his jacket pocket. Jerms's eyes widened, "NO! Do you know who you're messin with! No! No! No!" Jerms cried over and over.
"Did you have anything to do with mom's murder?" Bobby growled.
"No! That's why Sweet's killed her, cause I wouldn't join his corruption!" Bobby, Angel and Jerms fought back and forth for a minute or so before the door bell rang. Jack kissed me on the cheek, "I'll get it." He mumbled.
"Okay, just be careful." I mumbled back. I heard Jack open the door, but that was it because now my brothers were yelling louder. A few seconds later I heard a gun shot and a blood-chilling cry. "Ryaina! Bobby!" I heard Jack cry. My brothers stopped yelling.
"Shit! Jacky!" Bobby yelled grabbing the gun off the table. My eyes widened in fear+No! Not now! Please, not now+ I ran to the dinning room table where various guns laid on the table. I grabbed a shot-gun and ran to the front porch were Bobby was shooting.
"How many are there!" I asked ducking behind a fallen sofa chair.
"Around 7, maybe 10?" I nodded to him. "Ryaina! Bobby!" Jack cried again, but this time I could here the urgency in his voice.
A tear rolled down my cheek to hear him in such pain, "Bobby, cover me…" Bobby shook his head in disbelief as I ran out the door. I could hear Bobby yelling for me to come back but I wasn't going to let Jack die! I ran out the door and saw everyone that was attacking us were wearing ski masks. I didn't hesitate to shoot a guy that was charging at me in the neck, and a guy behind their van in the head. I looked over and saw Jack by the light-pole lying on a bank of snow. I ran over and skidded down next to him, shooting at men who were shooting at me as I slid. "Jack…!" I cried getting his attention, he looked up at me and forced a smile. I noticed the snow was splattered in blood.
"Rain…I'm sorry! I'm so sorry…" He moaned and gasping for a breath.
I looked down at him, "For what, Jacky?" I asked and shoot a guy that was rushing to the front door.
"Everything…! For everything! For cheating on you all those years ago, for being an idiot and getting shot right now, for not being there for you through out the years, everything…" Jack moaned again.
"Shh, Jack. Save your breath and just stay with me!" I said shooting at another guy and in return getting shot in my leg, I cried out in pain and winced, I could hear Sofi screaming her lungs out in the house and Alyssa and Angel yelp when a shot crashed through the dinning room window, shattering the whole window. Then out of no-where, Jerms's Volvo came screeching from behind the house and crashed into their van, taking out 3 guys. Then Bobby ran out of the house, and smashed a guy in the face with a fallen brick and shotting another in the neck. All the men seemed to be dead and everyone rushed over to Jack and me.
I leaned over Jack and held his hand. He was getting really pale and freezing cold, I started crying. "Jack don't you die on me! Don't die on us! We need you!" I cried +Now's the time. This way I could tell everyone too.+ "Jack if you die...then your going to leave me a single parent!" Everyone including Jack looked wide-eyed at me. Jack nodded his head as Alyssa called 911 on her cell-phone.
Bobby, who I just found out was crying, piped up, "Don't you die on us you Little Fairy!" Bobby wiped away a tear from his cheek, "And you don't want to lose your chance with Ryan again, do you?" Jack shook his head and sat up a little, we could hear the sirens only a few blocks down.
"Hold in there, Jack. Just hold on for me, for us…" I said putting my hand on my stomach and smiling. I felt Bobby get up and I saw him walk over to the van.
"Who do you work for! Who sent you!" Bobby yelled holding his gun between the eyes of the driver of the van.
"Sweets! Victor Sweets!" The guy yelled, Bobby put down the gun, "Oh thank God!" the driver sighed. Bobby glared and pulled the gun back up.
"Thank God? You killed my mother and you almost killed my little brother and sister! Thank God now!" Bobby yelled shooting the guy in the head. The cop cars and ambulance pulled up. They put Jack in the ambulance, "Is anyone else hurt?" one of the cops asked. Bobby walked up and pulled me up, "Yeah, my sister is shot in the leg." Bobby said handing me over to some paramedics that helped me into the ambulance. The paramedics got in the back with Jack and I and started working on my leg but I pushed them away, "Are you daft!" I pushed him away and pointed to Jack, "Save my boyfriend! He's so close to death he can probably feel The Reapers breath on the back of his neck!" I yelled, they both nodded and worked on Jack.
