Alberto arrived in Arcata. He drove to his mom's house, having his own key, he made his way inside. He had let her know that he would be arriving early morning so she wouldn't be frightened when he made his way inside.
The light turned on and at the top of the steps stood Jon. Alberto was surprised by that. He knew his mom was dating him, but he didn't think she would move him in.
"Your mom let me know you were coming home. Its nice to see you again", Jon said.
"You too", Alberto replied.
"Want some coffee?", Jon asked, walking into the kitchen.
"I could use a cup", Alberto said, following him.
Alberto sat at the table and yawned.
"So does this mean I have to call you dad now", he said teasingly.
Jon laughed.
"Only if you want too", Jon replied.
"I think your grandson would get jealous", Alberto said.
Jon joined him at the table once he set the coffee machine.
"On a serious note, I do love your mother and I've waited years to finally call her my girl.", Jon said.
"No worries on my part. You two are grown adults and can do as you please. Besides, I always knew she had a thing for you and I think my dad did as well.", Alberto said.
Jon smiled.
"So how's this thing with Mia going? Did Dean tell you he left her another note threatening Chad?", Jon asked.
Alberto nodded.
"I wanted to come sooner, but I also wanted to learn a little bit more on Jason. He was one person with his family and another with the women he dated.", Alberto said.
"Did you learn anything?", Jon asked.
Alberto nodded.
"He doesn't stop going after these women. His family pays them off to not speak of Jason", Alberto said.
"What do we do?", Jon asked.
"Wait till he shows his face. I have Dwayne following Jason, so far he's still in San Fran. He takes one step out and one foot in Arcata, his ass is mine", Alberto said.
Jon nodded.
"Just as long as Mia is safe", Jon said.
Alberto nodded as the coffee machine beeped.
"How's Dean doing? My niece told me what happened", Alberto said.
"He's doing better. Still meeting with Paul and trying to get back in the swing of things with his job", Jon said, walking over with two cups of coffee.
Alberto nodded.
"And my sister? Anyone in her life?", Alberto smirked.
"No. I think she and Trish just want to live calmly right now. They are enjoying their grandbabies and getting ready for Dean and Izzy's wedding", Jon said.
Alberto nodded.
"Its next weekend, right?", Alberto asked.
Jon nodded.
"You do know not to say anything to Isabelle about Mia, right? Mia just wants her to enjoy her wedding and then honeymoon", Jon said.
"Yeah, she told me", Alberto said.
Dean had his arms wrapped around Izzy. She moved a bit.
"Not yet Iz. A few more minutes", he whispered into her neck.
She smiled.
"I don't work today, so your wish is my command.", she said.
They were falling back to sleep when their door opened and Malia ran in. Climbing onto their bed and forcing herself between them. Isabelle giggled as little arms wrapped around her waist.
"Hey", Dean said.
"My mommy", Malia said.
Dean kissed his daughter's head before standing and walking into the bathroom. He walked out after washing his hands. He watched as Izzy tickled their daughter, making her laugh hard.
She looked over to him and smiled.
"What?", she asked.
"I just can't believe we are finally getting married", he said.
She stood and closed the space between them. Wrapping her arms around his neck.
"And I can't wait", she said, pressing her lips against his.
Catrina watched as her youngest walked into the kitchen.
"How did you sleep?", her mom asked.
"I couldn't. I was afraid of falling asleep and waking up to find out that he hurt Chad or worse.", Mia said.
"TJ assured us that he has a police officer keeping an eye on Chad. Jason won't get near him. He also can't get near you. I have an alarm system, if anyone tries to get in, it will go off", her mom said.
Mia nodded.
"Lets change the subject. I don't want to think about him or talk about him anymore.", Mia said.
Her mom nodded.
"Izzy is finally getting married", her mom said.
Mia smiled.
"And we couldn't ask for a better man. No matter what Dean has done, he is the right man for her.", Mia said.
"Not disagreeing with you there", Catrina said.
During the week, Izzy showed her mom and sister her wedding dress.
"I think I need to get it taken in here", Izzy said.
Her mom nodded.
"I can do that for you", Catrina said.
Trish walked in with Alberto behind her.
"Oh my goodness, you look amazing Isabelle", Trish gushed.
Izzy blushed.
"Thank you", Izzy said.
"Where have you two been?", Catrina asked, raising a brow.
Trish blushed. She knew her brother and Trish had a thing before she ended up with Austin.
"Mind your business", Alberto said.
Mia and Isabelle giggled.
Dean was at the bar with the guys on Friday night, the night before his wedding.
"Are you nervous?", Spencer asked.
"More excited than nervous. I mean, nothing is going to change. She loves me and I love her.", Dean said.
Dean looked at Seth and Roman.
"Nothing is going to change, right?", he asked them.
"Right. At least nothing changed for us", Roman said.
"Same, but everyone is different", Seth said.
"You guys aren't selling marriage to me guys", Dean said.
They laughed.
"The only thing different is that you get to call her your wife and you'll have a ring on your finger", Alberto said.
Baron walked in looking tired as hell.
"I see baby life is doing wonders for you", Spencer said.
The guys chuckled.
"Man, kid is amazing when she's not crying", Baron said.
Dean patted his back.
"How's Renee?", Seth asked.
"Tired, but her parents have been a big help and so has Spencer here", Baron said, nudging his brother.
"I've been you, trust me, you need all the help you can get", Spencer said.
"Preach", Roman said.
"Any more for you and Nikki?", Baron asked, before taking a sip of his beer.
"No. We are done", he said.
"Paige wants two more, so three is our lucky number", Seth said.
"Izzy and I agreed on one more once Austin is two and then that's it", Dean said.
"Ever thought about kids, Alberto?", Spencer asked.
"Of course, I just haven't found the right woman", he said.
"Like my mom", Dean said.
Alberto chuckled.
"Come on, you don't think I know, but I saw you leaving her place", Dean said.
"She and I are good friends, nothing more", Alberto said.
"And here I was getting excited about getting a new dad", Dean said.
The guys laughed.
"Can I call you daddy?", Dean asked.
Alberto laughed hard and shook his head.
"Shut it", Alberto said.
Dean laughed.
"I'm just messing", he said.
