I bounce between POV's. If it gets confusing let me know. Most of my chapters are going to be around 1000 words. R&R.

Chapter 2: The news heard around the world

"WHAT THE FUCK ANABELLE! YOU'RE PREGNANT?" was all Belle heard as her brother came barging into the house; Letty and Mia close behind him. She shot Mia a nasty glare as both Vince and herself stood up to defend themselves against Leon. "Le-Le…" She mumbled putting her hand up, but it was quickly pushed away as her older brother swung at Vince. Because he wasn't expecting it Leon made contact with his nose and everyone heard the crack of bone. "Fuck…" Vince groaned out as he backed up, but quickly regained his composure. "First shot was free brotha, anything else and I'm gonna have to woop ya." V growled and stood his ground against the smaller man, but Leon kept swinging. "Guys! Guys stop!" Anabelle turned and faced Mia "What did you say to him? Why did you tell him?!" she yelled as the two guys were grappling in the background.

Mia was about to say something when Belle turned around and tried to get Vince to stop hitting her brother "V! V! Stop you're bigger than him!" she yelled at him. She didn't blame him, she wouldn't have allowed someone to hit her and get away with it either, but Vince had a good amount of muscle and height against her brother. She went to grab Vince's arm to get him to stop and was rewarded with an elbow to the bone right above her eye. She heard everyone gasp as she stumbled back onto the steps, her hand covering the pain that was piercing through her head now. "Shit. Bee…" Vince scrambled over to her and cupped her cheeks to look at her. The sudden touch shocked her senses and she cried out, backing away from him.

Dom and Brian walked in at that moment and saw Belle's eye and Vince apologizing. Taking the surroundings out of context Dom stormed over to Vince and grabbed him by his tank. "What the hell are you doing? Did you hit her?" he ground out, his deep voice shaking the whole house "NO..I… well yeah…but it was an…" before Vince could get his explanation out Dom had him shoved up against the wall. Mia ran over to Dom and put her hand on his shoulder "It was an accident. Him and Leon were fighting and Belle was trying to stop them and she got to close." Dom looked at Vince then at Leon who was now at his sister's side looking at her. He could tell the two men had been fighting due to their obvious appearance.

He let Vince go, only to have him lean back and kick his foot against the wall leaving a foot sized whole, his anger getting the best of him. Once he got his foot out of the wall he smacked the wall and head out the door. Belle saw him start to leave and stood up "VINCE!" she yelled after him but she stood up to fast and was stumbling into Dom's arms, which was waiting to catch her. He didn't turn around he just made his way out to his car and sped off. She put her head in Dom's shirt, tears in her eyes. "Belle…" Mia put her hand on her back but Belle spun around and pointed a finger in her face "You just couldn't keep your mouth shut could you?" She asked before she ran upstairs to the bathroom, she needed to look at her face.

One year…they were together one year and he's never put a hand on her. She knew it was her fault, she should have just went and got Dom or someone stronger. She sighed and sat down on the tub, a wave of nausea running over her. She lifted the lid to the toilet and closed her eyes, hoping everything stayed down. She was sure she was okay for the moment and there was a light knock on the door. "Leave me alone." She yelled through the door, but it opened anyway. She stood up to fast and her stomach jumped to her throat. She leaned over the toilet and lost all the contents of her lunch and probably most of her breakfast.

As soon as she felt the large hand on her lower back she knew it was Vince. He tossed the bag of peas that he had brought her and knelt down at her side "It's okay Bee, just let it out." He said calmly, his one hair holding her hair and the other rubbing her lower back softly. It felt like hours, but a few moments later her stomach settled and she sat back on the tub. Vince gave her a wash rag and a small cup of water from the faucet. She wiped her mouth and gargled the water before spitting it out and flushing the toilet. He sat on the side of the tub next to her and slid two fingers under her chin, tilting her face up to him. Her eye was already turning a dark shade of bluish purple. "Fuck babe… I'm so sorry." He grumbled as he offered her the bag of peas. She shook her head and put the peas on her face, leaning her side into him "It's not your fault…I shouldn't have gotten that close, I knew better." She said and looked up at him.

She knew he was beating himself up about it because of his past…because of his own parents. "Vinnie…" she whispered; a nick name she only used in privacy. "I love you. I know you didn't hit me on purpose. It's okay." She said and cupped his one cheek with her hand. "Now kiss me and make it better." She said with a smile as she put the peas on the counter before he leaned in and pressed his lips soundly against hers. She felt him smile against her lips and she laced their fingers on her lap "But I swear…if you ever walk out again when I call you…I'll beat you up myself." She smiled up at him, pulling on his beard for good measures.
