Chapter 217

Once the day was over and everyone went home Alex started cleaning up while Ramashni bathed Phoebe and Theresa and Sita helped Alex clean up; Asher sleeping on the couch or more like in Danika's arm although Alex told her to lay him down she refused.

"Gigi, I want pawty." Phoebe said blowing huge amounts of bubbles around in the bath and laughed as one came to rest on the tip of her Gig's nose. "Bah-ney party." She said finally looking up to see if her great grandmother was still paying attention.

"Okay, have you told your mom and dad about it?" Ramashni asked before she said anything further.

"No." Phoebe said, "Ashie their new baby, they no love me any-mo." She answer placing emphasis on the last word.

"What do you mean? Of course they love you." Ramashni defended the parents as she has no idea where Phoebe would come to a conclusion on this statement.

"Ashie get all pwesents. He cry mama and dada there. I get nu-fing gigi nu-fing." She explained standing up so she can be dried off.

"Honey that doesn't mean that they don't love you anymore. And you got presents today as well."

"Ashie got mo!" She yelled as she was placed on the bed, and was allowed to choose her own sleepwear, sitting back down so her grandmother can dress her.

Dankika sat on the couch and talked to Asher about the rest of the family and who they are although he was asleep, she insisted that he would dream about them eventually and put faces to the names. He soon became fussy and she traded places with Alex so he could nurse. Taking in the quiet moment with her son she took the time to text her husband to let him know the party was over and that he is welcome back again, when Ramashni and Phoebe walked downstairs. Without saying goodnight to her mother but to the rest of the ladies who were there Phoebe went into her room and summoned Gigi to read her a bed time story, Alex decided to wait until her grandmother came back to hear what has been going on. But before she could get to it her phone rang as Nadia's name appeared on the caller ID. She didn't say much but judging by the sound of her voice it sounded important so Alex was grateful for the help as she made her way over to the door to see what is going on.

Alex drove over to the apartment that her sister in law shares with her brother and when she opened the door it made sense to her why Nadia was in such distress.

She knocked o the door and knew he was inside because she heard some hurriedly walking up and down before the footsteps came to open the door. Luca appeared in the doorway, looking at her with small red eyes and smiling uncontrollably.

"Seriously? Why are you high?" She asked lookin at him. "Where's Nadia?"

"Court." he says simply and walks over to the couch letting his sister walk in by herself.

"Luca we had a deal, if this is your behaviour then I'd suggest you coming back to live with us." Alex said looking at him as she kicks the door closed with her foot.

Luca sits down, rolling a blunt on the coffee table besides his sister's blazing gaze that is upon his, but that didn't stop his actions. "You want one?" he ask looking at her before lighting it up. "You know what Alex. Dad's birthday is today and I hope you know that because of you I never had the chance to spend this day with my father. Golden child Alex who is actually a murderer did something good when she pulled the trigger, and instead of going to prison she gets sent to India." He said and at that moment Nadia appeared in the living room and she wasn't sure how much she'd heard by the look on her face it seemed like she's heard enough that her brother was married to a monster.

"So yeah, I'm getting high got some whiskey under the sink that I will drink up all by myself and then go back to the old Luca." he said looking at her blowing out a cloud of smoke. Alex walked over to the room where Nadia slept and knocked on the door slightly before pushing it open. She saw Nadia stand in the corner texting vigorously on her phone and when she saw Alex in the doorway she place her phone face down on the bed.

"Nadia, I'm not sure how much of that you heard." Alex said looking at her.

"All of it." The younger female said. "Is it true?"

Alex bit her bottom lip and nodded her head confirming answer to her sister in law's question.

"Does my brother know?" Nadia continued and Alex nodded again.

She walked further into the room to try and explain but Nadia held out her hand in a motion to stop her. "Alex I think it'll be best if you leave right now." She said and wordlessly Alex turned around and walked out the door, giving her brother one last look as he downed one glass of whiskey after the other before she got in her car and drove off.

Hey guys I hope you could follow this. It was initially going to be two chapter but I merged it into one so I hope it's not too confusing. I'm in need of some FBI action for the next few cases so all suggestions are welcome. Also I had my wisdom tooth out –pain everywhere and I was on meds while typing this so I'm hoping it will all make sense. You guys have no idea how I crave real food instead of ice cream yogurt and broth that I've been eating for the past 4 days. Also, I want this family feud to be there for a little while and Nadia threatening Ryan that he has to choose either his family orAlex when she tells Theresa about all of this (because they don't know about any of this either). Just some random ideas.

Thanks for the read
