I AM SORRY FOR THE REALLY LATE POST. I HAVE BEEN HAVING DIFFICULT MONTHS. IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL TAKES A TOLL ON YOU, BUT HERE IS THE CHAPTER. I WILL BE POSTING HERE AND THERE, BUT I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU LOT.
WELL LET ME KNOW WAHT YOU THINK.
ON WITH THE STORY.
The next morning, we were all chilling around, Mia had decided to head to the market. I had offered to go, which she agreed. I simply held the bag while she picked and payed everything. I mean I did pick out a few things, but I was mostly focusing on the people around me. It's amazing how clueless everyone was. Here we were two woman on the most wanted list, an elite force behind our asses and no one had a clue. It was rather insane really. I mean- "What the hell!" Mia and I were pulled to the side and hidden behind some stand. Looking up I was surprised to see Vince. Hell I didn't even know he was here.
"Vince what are you doing?!" Mia yelped.
Vince held us both, his head going back and forth. "Shhh, they have been tracking you since you two left."
Glancing over my shoulder I spotted three men running into the market. One loading his gun. "Holy shit."
"Come one!" Vince hauled me after them. "Don't stop."
Seeing the gun in the back of Vince's pants, I pulled it and shot into the air. Without a second to spare chaos was spread. Everyone ran in all directions trying to get out of danger. Running after my brother and sister, Vince snatched his gun away.
"What?" I shrugged.
Vince waved his glock in front of me. "This is not to play with!"
"I wasn't playing with it Vince. If you haven't realized I just gained us time to escape." Poking his chest, I gave him a slight shove. "Now if you want to waste it here talking, I suggest you get your over grown ass in the car, so we can leave."
Opening and closing his mouth, he groaned. "You have spent too much time with that ass of boyfriend." Laughing I jumped into the driver's seat. Vince in the back and Mia beside me. Of course, they spent the entire drive back criticizing my driving.
"That was a red light." Mia deadpanned.
Vince popped his head in between us. "Not to mention the three stop signs you skipped, the man you almost ran over and the car you almost ran into."
"Will you two shut the hell up!" I groaned. "Dom crashes his car into a train and no one says shit. Vince, you destroy the mustang and not a peep. I am the best driver in the group by lack of accidents." Seeing the smirk on his face, I slammed the brakes, causing him to slam into the back of my seat. "Always wear a belt Vince."
"Cheap shot." He grumbled.
Shrugging, I pulled up behind Johnny's new rental car. As I trailed in Vince hesitated a bit to walk in, but Mia ushered him in. The second Brian spotted him, he was on him like a bull.
Mia stopped him. "Hey no wait. Some guys were waiting for us at the market."
I looked to see Roman hovering over Vince, that pissed me off. "Back off." Rom gave me a face, clearly not listening. "Back off Roman." Johnny appeared by my side, giving me enough support to drive him back.
"Vince saved our life." I heard Mia explained.
Brian gave Vince a slight nod, one Vince returned. Roman was still glaring at him from the back.
"You hungry?" Dom's loud voice carried towards us. He was studying the maps, without looking up.
Vince glanced over to him. "Yeah sure."
"Good." Dom looked up. "Cause your saying grace."
Laughing I leaned against him, hugging him around the waste. Brian thanked him and shook his hand. Johnny turned to leave, silently thanking Vince. I missed this man.
"When did you get here?" Vince asked.
I grinned. "A couple of days ago, Mia and Brian showed up and asked for our help."
"And here I thought you had forgotten about us." Vince teased.
Shoving him lightly, I glared playfully up at him. "Says the man that moved to Rio without saying bye."
Hugging me to him, he kissed the top of my head. "I'm sorry Chica, not going to happen again."
As Vince settled in, we made the terrible decision in letting the brothers cook. They were terrible cooks. If it wasn't salty, it was burnt. Either way we were hungry and had to eat. Thankfully Johnny had took a piece before they over cook it. Roman was sitting on the couch with Tej, drinking a bottle of beer. Johnny and I were leaning against a car, I was against his front and his arms around me. Brian and Mia were in the same position, only Brian sat on a stool. Dom and Vince were up the platform, where Dom was working on his muscle car. I was laughing quietly at the bickering between the brothers. Santos said something about Tego's mother. These men crack me up. Tuning in on the duo on the couch, I listen in. Roman was bitching over Tej's choice of opening a car shop.
"Your quiet." Johnny whispered to me.
Leaning my head back, I kissed him under the chin. "Just listening to the others. Did you try and contact your mother?"
"Yes, they didn't answer. I left a message." Hugging me tighter he inhaled deeply. "I'll try again tomorrow."
Dom walked over to us, handing each one of us a beer bottle. "We are less than 24 hours, from the biggest celebration of our life. We need a refill, this is some serious stuff. Cheers!"
"No, I'm good." Mia chuckled, pushing the bottle away.
Roman frowned. "Huh?"
"She can't." Brian grinned, taking a chug from his bottle.
"What you mean?"
"She can't." I replied, adding a little hint in my tone.
Roman looked between all of us. "What do you mean she can't? Wh-what-she…" I had to admit it amused me to see him even more clueless and stuttering. Brian glanced down and rubbed Mia's stomach, giving Roman a look. "Are you serious right now!" The love birds laughed. Roman turned towards Dom. "Is that the reason you let him beat you in the quart a mile." Laughing he turned back to the parents to be. "That was a baby gift."
"No, that's mess up." Brian said, causing Mia to laugh. "No, you're not taking that from me!"
Tej walked over to them, with a thoughtful look. "Wait, wait, wait…hold on a second. So, did he just smack that ass or did he grab and hold on to it." That just made everyone laugh, Mia groaned, while Brian hid his face. It was followed with all of us hugging and congratulating them. Dom stood in the back ground smiling at the scene.
"Toast!" Dom announced. Grabbing our bottles and cups, we gathered around. "Money comes and goes, we all know that. The most important in life are the people in this room. Right here…right now. Salud mi famila." He raised his bottle.
"Salud." We all said, clicking out drinks together.
Just as I was about to take a drink, mia pulled it away. "Mia?!"
"You can't drink that!" She exclaimed. All eyes were on us.
"What? Why not?" She walked towards her purse and pulled out a baggy, with what seemed to be a pregnant test. My eyes went wide. "Holy shit!"
"Ring a bell." Mia glared at me.
"It was negative Mia." I could sense Johnny's eyes on me.
Shaking her head, she handed me the test. Looking down on it, I was shocked the thing had two bars. "Oh, my god."
"What?" Dom asked, not moving from his spot.
Looking up I locked eyes with my brother. "Seems like you're going to be an uncle once more." Dom was shocked I knew that much.
"Seriously?" Johnny gasped from beside me. "Eli?"
I couldn't hold back the tears, as I glanced up at him. "And you're going to be a father." I let out a squeal, at being lifted and spun around.
"I can't believe this." Johnny whispered, kissing me deeply. The others followed, hugging and kissing. Tej walked up with the same look from before, but was stopped by Johnny. "Don't even think about it." Tej raised his hand in surrender.
The night was long and very eventful. Johnny wouldn't leave my side for a second, not that I blamed him. He was already planning on buying a house, the nursery, and names. I simply smiled and took it all in. It wasn't until past two we all went to sleep, tomorrow we began and needed to be alert. At the same time, I couldn't shake the gut feeling had.
Something was coming.
I just hope it was nothing bad.
IT'S SHORT I KNOW, BUT I NEEDED TO UPDATE. THE NEXT CHAPTERS WILL BE LONGER I PROMISE.
