Melina was barely walking when Raya found out she was pregnant again. Ben kissed her bump.
"I have some work to do, then a meeting. Keep your eyes on Mel. We don't need her falling into the pool.", Ben said.
He had to hire a nanny for Melina because Raya wanted nothing to do with her. He was so close to kicking her out and keeping Mel for himself.
Raya knew this because she had overheard Ben and his dad talking. As much as she hated it, she had to show that thing affection.
That was apart of the reason why she was pregnant again. He hadn't wanted to touch her before. As soon as she started acting like a mother, he had a change of heart.
Two weeks after her change, they fucked. She couldn't call it making love, because she knew neither felt that. They just needed release.
Melina cried when she tried to hold her, even now. When Ben wasn't around, the nanny watched Melina.
The nanny had told Ben that maybe Raya was dealing with depression and was coming around to motherhood now. Ben took it a bit easier on her after reading up on it.
His emotions and body didn't have to change for a child, hers did.
"I can watch my daughter", Raya replied.
Ben sighed and sat beside her, gently touching her cheek.
"I know, I'm sorry. How are you feeling?", he asked with a smile.
"Huge. Its different carrying twins", she replied.
He chuckled.
"You look absolutely beautiful and Mel can't wait to be a big sister.", he said.
She forced a fake smile.
"Would you rather I stay? I can cancel. I'm sure my men can deal with the problem in California", he said.
She shook her head no and kissed his cheek.
"I'm good. Besides, I have Elena to help", she replied.
He nodded, leaning in, she thought he was going to kiss her. He did, just on her forehead. The only time his lips touched her lips was when they were having sex.
"See you in a few days", he said, before walking over to Mel and scooping her up.
His baby girl happily laughed.
"I will be home soon my princess. Take care of mommy and babies", he said to her.
Raya rolled her eyes. He set his daughter down with her toys before looking at Raya again. She faked a smile.
"She loves you", Raya said.
Ben smiled.
"She loves you too. I know its been hard and I wish there was something I could do", he said.
"I know. Hey, you think I can invite my sister over? I miss her and I really want her to meet Mel.", she asked.
"Of course, I would never keep you from your family, or our babies from your family.", he said.
She nodded.
"And this is also your home. You're my wife, remember", he added.
"I just know how my mom is with you", she replied.
"But she is your mom. Trust me, Ray, people have said worse things about me", he smirked.
She nodded. He walked out. She heard him leave instructions with Elena, their nanny, before completely leaving.
Victoria was visiting their dad, so it was easy for Tori to ignore their mother's rule.
Once Tori got to the house, Elena let her in.
"You must be Miss Victoria", Elena said happily.
Tori nodded and Elena let her know where Raya was.
"I need to check on dinner, make yourself at him. Mr. Garcia is sorry he couldn't be here to see you", Elena said, before leaving her side.
Victoria remembered Ben. He was handsome and sometimes she felt like he was too good for her sister.
Especially because she knew why Raya wanted him. She froze when she heard a baby cry.
She quickly made her way to the back, excited to see her one and only niece. She froze again.
Raya was holding Melina over the pool, dangling was more like it.
"I could drop you and run to the bathroom. Everyone would blame Elena, not me.", she mumbled.
Victoria swallowed, hoping to god she was wrong about what she heard her sister say.
She cleared her throat and walked back into the hall.
"Raya?", she called, shouting her name.
Raya pulled Melina in and quickly made her way into the living room. Melina was still crying and pulling away from her.
"Stop it", Raya growled to her.
Melina's bottom lip trembled. Tori came around the corner.
"Hey, Elena let me in. Oh my gosh, is that Melina", Tori said, quickly taking her niece.
Melina calmed down. Victoria can feel her shaking.
"She's beautiful, Ray", Victoria said.
"Sure, I mean, look at who her mother is", Raya smirked before sitting.
Victoria faked a laugh, before kissing her niece's tiny head.
"But look at you, wow. Where did those boobs and butt come from?", her sister joked.
Victoria blushed.
"I am fourteen now", Tori replied.
"That you are. Any boys?", Raya asked.
"No, too busy with school. Mom wants me focused and educated", Victoria replied.
"Unlike me", Raya said.
Tori stopped rocking her sleeping niece.
"Does she even ask about me?", Raya asked.
"Ray…", Tori stopped.
"Of course not. I'm the disappointment", Raya said.
"Well it sucks for her. She's missing out on this beauty and those babies. You don't need her, Ray. You are smart, so much smarter than me or mom and dad.", Tori said.
Raya smiled.
"I love you. Honestly, you might be the only one I love.", Raya said.
"Don't forget you love Mel too", Tori said.
"I'm hungry", Raya said, standing and walking to the kitchen.
Victoria looked down at her niece.
"Lets go lay you down princess", Victoria whispered to her.
She laid her down in her crib and covered her. Elena walked in and smiled.
"Just came to see if you needed any help", Elena said.
"I got it.", Tori smiled at the woman.
Elena nodded.
"Elena", she called out, stopping the woman.
"Yes?", she asked.
"How is my sister with Melina?", Victoria asked.
Elena glanced towards the door before getting closer to Victoria.
"I thought that maybe it had to do with depression, but I was wrong. She just has no connection with Melina. When Mr. Garcia leaves, she acts different. Towards me, towards Melina.", Elena whispered.
"Have you told Mr. Garcia?", she asked.
Elena shook her head no.
"I know what he does for a living. If he knew, he would kill her. Once those twins come, he would.", Elena said.
Victoria didn't believe that. Ben wouldn't hurt Raya. Leave her? Yes, but not kill.
"Please don't tell them I told you", Elena begged in a whisper.
Victoria placed her hands on Elena's shoulders.
"I won't", she let her know.
Elena nodded.
"There is also something else.", Elena said.
"What?", Victoria asked.
Elena swallowed.
"You should check the pool house. Now. Just be very quiet", Elena said.
Raya had asked Elena to distract her sister.
Victoria was confused by that, but did as she was told. As soon as she got close, she could hear moaning.
If she tried to go inside, whoever it was would stop. Finding the window, she poked her head around.
She gasped when she spotted her sister laying back on a bed while a man had his face between her legs.
She quickly went back inside the house and found Elena in the kitchen.
"Who is that man?", she asked.
"Mark Calaway. They call him the Undertaker.", she replied.
"Does Ben know?", Victoria asked.
Elena shook her head no.
"And I doubt that man does too. If he knew who's woman that was, he wouldn't be sticking it where the sun don't shine", Elena whispered.
Victoria shook her head.
As Mark was leaving, Victoria was waiting out front. He sent her nod. It was now or never.
"Hey", she said, stopping him.
He faced her before getting on his bike.
"What are you doing with Ben Garcia's wife?", she asked.
This man visibly shook.
"Garcia? No. She said she wasn't married", he replied.
Victoria pulled her phone out and showed him a photo of their wedding.
"Bitch", he growled.
"Don't come back here and we never saw you", Victoria said, turning and walking back inside the house.
"Did you know?", Nikki asked her dad.
He nodded.
"Mark told me. Said if he would have known, he wouldn't have touched her. I believed him. No one outside of family knows what Raya looks like or that I had kids till much later. Till I put a bounty on her head.", Garcia said.
His girls nodded.
"I did it because I wanted to keep you all safe.", he added.
"We know dad", Ronnie said, squeezing his arm.
She was getting closer to having her baby. Bayley was still not talking to him or Victoria.
"Speaking of my mother in law, I need to ask her to come down to help me", Melina said.
Everyone looked at her. Andrade smiled. Elena was his mother.
"Why do you need help? You've got us", Brie replied.
"Just because you can take care of two babies at once, doesn't mean I can", Melina said.
Her sisters gasped.
"I'm pregnant", she said, making her shirt hug her small belly.
Garcia smiled. This was all he ever wanted for his girls.
