Back again for another chapter, hope you all are enjoying it. So no money is being made by my writing. Thank you for reading and reviewing you are all awesome. There is a time jump in Iris's point of view. The next chapter will tell what Keegan has been doing in her time jump. This is just Iris's year and eight months.

Iris's point of view…

A week has passed now I stand here in a tight black dress, black leather knee high boots with a wide brimmed black hat. At Hillside cemetery, with Anela in my arms crying as we just arrived. Duke was next to me, along with a team to secure the area.

I was looking around and saw him, Keegan, dressed in all black his hair tied back from his face. Black shades on as he watched us "Anela daddy is here," I whispered as her head turned seeing her father.

I set her down seeing her blot to him, he held her close walking over to me. "Iris," he said pulling me close to his warm body. He held Anela with his arm wrapped around my waist as the pastor talked, and she was lowered into the ground. We walked forward putting white rose's on her casket, saying our last goodbyes, Keegan's was promising revenge.

Anela was passed out in her father's arms as we walked to the waiting car, he kissed her head just watching her sleep. "I love you both," he said setting her in the back seat with Duke.

"I know Keegan, and we love you," I said back hugging him tight "I don't know when I will see you again, but I know I will," I whispered.

"You will Iris," he said than he was gone near twenty men walking with him, I watched until he couldn't be seen. But I noticed Tiger to Keegan's right; a tall and older man who would gut you for fun, he was trained by me and he was named Anela's god father.

I slid into the car, not knowing everything was changing and wouldn't be the same again.

Two months later…

"Aunt Lisa, Aunt Lisa," Anela was screaming through Lisa's shop, I saw Taylor walk out dressed in a light brown button up and a pair of tan slacks.

"Uncle Taylor," she screamed, he picked her up "Anela you look bigger, have you grown again. Iris I thought we had an agreement she wasn't to grown anymore," Taylor smiled tickling Anela who was squirming in his arms.

"Anela has other plan's," I said walking to Lisa's area, she was working on a local boy. She gave me a smile "Hey Iris, still looking pale," she said as the boy gave me a smile, I flashed my wedding ring the smile was gone.

"We need to talk Lisa, I will be talking to Taylor," I said walking out I was tired from work and Anela, Lisa and Taylor watched her while I worked late. Duke watched her at school until I came to pick her up.

Anela recovered from that night and losing three members of our already broken family. It nearly killed Lisa knowing her father killed a grandmother, two dogs and went after a small child no matter who her daddy was.

"So Anela told me, how are you holding up?" Taylor asked me his hand resting on my shoulder, I looked beyond him seeing Anela eating a slice of pizza.

"Tired, this wasn't in my plans," I said "I bet it wasn't," he smiled as we turned hearing Lisa and the boy talking about his after care. But I doubt he needs it but she has to repeat it every time.

"So what's up Iris?" she asked sitting on the cold tile floor next to Anela, both eating pizza while I stood watching with Taylor.

"Anela do you want to tell her too?" I asked as Anela blushed "Mama is having another baby, I am going to be a big sister." She stated in a matter of fact voice.

Lisa gave me a look and my look said it all, I was keeping the baby there wasn't a real choice. "That's great, baby shopping it is," Lisa said but we adults knew it wasn't safe for me and being pregnant put me in a delicate situation.

"Hey we have your back, and Duke is always there too," Taylor said as I scoffed.

Day's went by with no word from Keegan, then those days turned into weeks then months. I worked and raised Anela, I was making enemies when I took down a very powerful drug dealer in Miami.

Four months later…

I was six months looking like I was hiding a basketball under my vintage maternity blouse. With a pair of dark maternity jeans and a brown leather platform pumps with a moderate amount of makeup and jewelry, my 9mm easy able to be pulled from my back.

I was going with Lisa to New Orleans to close her shop for good, as she loves Anela and wants to stay in Maryland. She is four months with twins, so she is as big as me. She was great, and it was nice having another pregnant friend, someone to share the hormones.

"Ready Iris," she smiled I was jealous she was having twin boys to my little girl. Anela was so happy when she watched our Doctor declare I was having another little girl.

"Yes if Illyria would calm herself," I smiled Duke has Anela with her husband Viper at their farm, I knew she be very safe there.

I got in my jeep and we drove off having a long drive to which we would be stopping every 30 to pee. And I was right we did stop to eat, and pee every thirty minutes. It was great, I never had a girlfriend who wasn't under my command, and Lisa wasn't one of my soldiers.

It was early morning as we arrive checking into our joint Hotel room, it was lavish and roomy. I laid down falling to sleep knowing she was right behind me with our body aching. Plus Tiger told me they were back in New Orleans, for a couple days, so I was hoping to be able to tell Keegan.

I woke to the damn sunlight, I rolled to my side seeing it was near two in the afternoon. I was up hurrying to the bathroom, I looked great for just getting up as I unbuttoned my jeans with my urgent need to pee. I washed my hands seeing Lisa rushing in nearly knocking me down, I walked out laughing grabbing my cell to call Anela.

She was happy her and Serpent are going to go play in the creek with Duke and Viper. I hung up putting my platform pumps back on as Lisa was also getting ready, I wanted some Benyas.

"Hungry," she growled out as I was up "Me too come on," I smiled after we would go sign papers, she sold the building. It was gorgeous here so full of life, as we walked to get something to eat. After ten minutes we were hurried to a table by an older lady, I was amazed she was back out in a minute flat with two lemon waters.

"You girls look tired drink up, what can I get you?" she gushed out as I fanned myself with my menu.

"I would like the Cajun shrimp platter and Benyas, please," I smiled drinking the glass of water, it was like drinking baby Jesus tears. We drank and chatted while our food was cooking, the Benyas came out first. And hello heaven pure heaven, powered sugar was covering my jeans as I grabbed a napkin.

"Now the food was worth the drive, where is his office," I said as I paid and we walked out of the bistro. "Good because I am taking you to this small family owned shop, it has the best friend chicken." Lisa said as Illyria went wild, I winced.

"Evil little girl," I smiled my hand resting over my belly, we walked but this time we each took a lemon and raspberry infused water to go.

We walked into an old building it was warm and the humidity was killer, as I sat. She was taken back to sign what paper work there was, as I texted Anela and read a magazine.

"Done, I have nothing here anymore," Lisa said I was up giving her a hug "But you have us," I said she gave me a watery smile as we walked out both putting on our sunglasses. The streets were very crowded with tourist and locals, some saw Lisa and came up to us. Most very surprised by her pregnancy and leaving New Orleans.

We turned down an ally heading to our Hotel, for a shower and a change of clothes before dinner. Something was wrong, I stopped dead looking around but was too late Lisa was a good five feet ahead of me. Jimmy came from a door way to her left, his arm around her, that damn box cutter.

"Let her go," I said grabbing my gun, but he smiled "Look at you Lisa," he said in a dead panned voice. "Jimmy what are you doing, I am your daughter," Lisa was panicking.

"Yeah and you're with the enemy, pregnant with his kid," he was insane, I moved forward by three inches. Everything happened at once she brought her elbow back, as I rushed forward grabbing her hand pulling her forward. His cutter got my stomach, as my fist made contact with his jugular

"Stupid bitch," he choked as I my hand was on my side blood soaking my top. I raised my gun "Put your hands above your head, you are under arrest," I said it loud enough seeing as we gathered a crowd.

"This is your last warning Jimmy Bobo you are wanted by the FBI," I said showing my badge, as Lisa was crying.

"You're going to have to kill me before I come without a fight," he said rushing me, I pulled the trigger the bullet hitting his left shoulder blade as he staggered back. He turned and ran down the alley knocking people down.

"We called the police and the paramedics," an older man said helping Lisa from the floor. "Thank you," I said bracing myself on the wall. And it wasn't long before we both were in the back of an Ambulance I was giving a statement and it went faster and much smoother with me being an Agent. The sirens were killing my head as I was wheeled out and straight to Labor and delivery, and for the next forty minutes I was getting shots to stop my Labor and getting thirty stiches on the side of my stomach.

"Taylor is flying in now, he will met us at the Hotel," Lisa said as she gave me another top to wear, I was being discharged after hours of being here. I stood up my round belly showing when yelling was heard, I turned my head.

Keegan's point of view (Short one)…

"Boss, we have a confirmed sighting of Bobo. In Downtown New Orleans," Tiger said I was one my feet in a second and out the door in the next. Ten men with me as Bobo has be eluding me for months, he has laid low and without Kwon he didn't have that police protect and contacts.

We pulled up to an alley with cops and people around it, I was out walking up to an elderly couple. "Excuse me I am looking for my wife, she was supposed to meet me here." I said in a soft kind voice, it was the voice I used for my Anela.

"Oh no, I hope it wasn't one of the girls who were hurt. On no Jackie did you hear this young man," the elderly man said and I gave the alley a look, blood splatter covered the floor and the wall, someone put up a fight.

"I did, you see young man. Two pregnant ladies were walking down the alley to the Grand Hotel, when this horrid man grabbed on, guess it was his daughter. The other girl pulled a gun and badge, it happened so fast. The black haired girls hit the man while the girl with the gun rushed forward punching him, pulling the girl forward but he cut her round belly. It was horrible the blood, she shot him when he ran, I will have nightmares. I pray them girls be okay," the old women said and the hair on the back of my neck stood on end.

"Thank you, my wife is FBI." I said and by the look on their faces I knew it was Lisa and Iris. I growled driving off going to the nearest hospital still hoping it wasn't Iris, who was hurt. I walked in the old women said Lisa was pregnant so I was checking the third floor.

"Can I help you sir," a middle aged Nurse said in a kind voice, but I didn't have time for that. "My wife was hurt, she was brought in she was attacked in an alley," I yelled slamming my fist down on the counter, one of my men coming forward.

"Sorry hun, he loves his wife very much. All we know was she was brought here," he said in a more soothing tone as my temper was flaring.

"Sir I need her name we did have a women brought in from an attack," she said scared. I was getting pissed as the girl wasn't giving me the information I wanted, I was ready to pull my gun.

"Keegan?" I spun seeing Iris, her eyes wide her hand full, a jacket in her hands. Lisa was pregnant.

"Iris, are you hurt?" I asked I was shaking "I have thirty stitches because Jimmy. But I am fine Lisa was being checked after he attacked us," she said not making full eye contact, she is hiding something. She wasn't coming closer either, I wanted to hold her.

"Keegan, he has been sighted," Gage said in my ear, I gave Iris one last look she was glowing. "Love you, tell Anela I love her too," I said in a brisk voice before I turned my back on her walking away.

Iris point of view…

I watched Keegan walk away like I was nothing, I knew he was a hard man to love. I blew my only chance to tell him I was having another baby, I don't even know why I didn't tell him.

"Come on Lisa, I am hungry for some fried chicken," I said as we walked out, and once outside I watched a pure black truck driving off.

Months flew by with no word, by now I was scared to reach out to him about the baby. Tiger gave me one update, Keegan found Jimmy that same night and did horrible things to him until Tiger jumped in. Tiger left that night, but Keegan never came home. I stopped wearing my ring all the time, he was making the choice to leave us and now I had to make mine.

I gave birth to a healthy little girl she was 5p 3oz, 18 inches long, her hair, skin and eye color the very same as Alena. Illyria Lola Xanthe was pure joy, she wasn't a crier and slept real good. I still had three weeks of leave, I was sitting at Mabel's grave with the girls.

"See Mabel, isn't she a doll looks just like Alena. But Illyria also has my features, but she will know all about how you saved Alena. I won't let her not know about her nana," I said as Alena was curled into my side, Illyria was bundled in a purple quilt.

"Goodbye Nana, we will be back next Sunday," Alena said as we made our way from her grave. It was all too familiar, the days passing by turning into weeks and months.

But I was happy, Alena turned six, Han and Ian were angels as Illyria pulled their black hair. They were only a month apart in age, and in days Illyria would be one. We were having a private party, with Taylor, Lisa, the twins, Alena and three of her friends would be there.

We welcomed Fire to our family another Pit who was such a baby, but he protected the girls and didn't hurt Illyria when she bit his poor ear while trying to ride him.

"Mama, Aunt Lisa said all the purple balloons are done and ready, Uncle Taylor said the color purple sucks," Alena said "Go kick Uncle Taylor," I said back she giggled and ran off.

"Mama, cake time," I picked up Illyria, she was tall for a year, her long curls loose around her face. Her eyes a tad brighter than Alena's, Illyria had my features while Alena had her fathers, but you could tell with a single look they were sisters.

"No Illyria, play with Han and Ian. Not biting please," I said sitting her with the boys.

It was a great day as me and Lisa are sitting in the grass with the seven kids, making bracelets. Taylor was taking down the balloons, every few minutes we heard him cuss and pop them.

"He has problems," I said under my breath "No more than anyone else," Lisa said back as she placed the small bracelet on Alena's wrist.

"Iris," I nearly peed myself, but with cat like reflexes I was on my feet Illyria in my arms. Keegan stood in front of us, as Lisa grabbed Ian and Alena was holding Han, the other three looked between us.

He was looking at me, Alena then the rest "Keegan, it's been near two years. And you decide to come home." I snapped and instantly felt bad with our girl's right here.

"Daddy," Alena said he gave her such a loving look as I gave Lisa a look. "Okay kids time to go in, Alena, Mama and Daddy need to talk," Lisa said as Alena smiled walking off with Han and her friends.

"Okay demon come to Auntie," Lisa said I watched Keegan his face paled "Mama, I stay with mama," she screamed as I still gave her to Lisa, Keegan's eyes on Illyria.

I waited until I heard the door shut "Iris what is going on, that little girl looks like Alena," he said his voice deep and angry.

"That's because she is her sister, the little girl's name is Illyria Lola Xanthe. That time you saw me at the hospital Lisa wasn't the only one pregnant, I was too. That time we had sex in my bathroom, Keegan Illyria is your daughter she turned one today," I said afraid to look at him.

"I have another daughter," was all he said as I looked up at him "Yes," was all I said, his fist were clenched at his side the vein in his neck pulsing.

"That day why didn't you tell me Iris," he bellowed out "Because it wouldn't have made a difference. You wouldn't have come home, the only thing that it would have changed was you knowing. You still wouldn't have been here for our girls," I snapped stepping up to him, but he was just as angry.

"I have the right to know!" he was pissed "I am filing for divorce," I screamed so loud my face red. He stepped back "No, I am home now," he said back tracking.

"Doesn't mean I want you here, I have done everything on my own. You knowing wouldn't have changed that. You can stay here, but in the guest room," I turned on my heel walking away ready to break down, I bolted passed everyone and slammed my door locking it having a good cry. But a minute later I heard Lisa with a crying Illyria, I was up opening my door.

"You okay Iris," she asked me as I took Illyria who calmed with just a simple touch. "Yes I am fine, it was just a lot to take in seeing him after two years. Then I never told him of Illyria," I said laying on my bed, as Lisa gave me Illyria's bed clothes and a fresh pull up.

"Yeah the other kids left, do you want us to stay the night?" she asked me as I pulled on the pull-up "No, he is okay around us," I said as she took the dirty diaper kissing my cheek.

"Illyria, you are a big girl now," I said as she giggled "Mama," I looked up to see Anela "Come in angel," I smiled she jumped on the bed, as I pulled Illyria's purple my little ponies jammies over her head. Illyria sat up in my lap, as her sister was across from me.

"You can be mad at daddy," she said "I shouldn't have yelled with you girls right there. Where is your daddy at Anela?" I asked her.

"Putting his bag away in the guest room," she smiled her hair wild it was bed time "Alright time to brush teeth," I smiled as we all got up, they brushed their tiny teeth, and we tucked in Anela, but I walked into my room with Illyria and her bottle.

I lay in bed with Illyria curled against me drinking her bottle as my eyes closed, hers half lidded.

I woke with habit, I reached for Illyria, but she was gone I bolted up from bed. I was on my feet but I heard Keegan, as I snuck to the guest room seeing him with Anela in bed, Illyria on his bare chest his fingers in her hair. I watched the three of them Anela was curled into his side his arm around her, while he talked to a sleeping Illyria. It was peaceful and this moment in time was priceless, I wished Mabel was here to see her son with his daughters.

"It's not polite to stare," his voice pulled me from my thoughts, I walked away not answering, my heart was full but broken.

I was in my room sitting on my bed when he walked in "I put Illyria in her crib. I am sorry Iris for how I acted, I was shocked hearing I had another daughter," he said sitting on the bed making it dip with his added weight.

"I am sorry, I know that day I should have told you. But I was scared knowing you still wouldn't stay with me." I vented my tone was wary and tried.

"I wouldn't have, but I would have come home much sooner. But it's in the past, we need to work on our future," he said placing his hand on my bare shoulder.
