Dean-
Sami was getting ready to walk out of the meeting room. I didn't move out of the way. I rolled my eyes and looked at Roman.
"Mind walking our friend out", I said to him.
Roman nodded and Seth went with him, closing the door behind them. I pushed my hands into my pockets.
"So Zayn was acting really friendly towards you", I said.
"Yeah, he even asked me out", she said with a shrug.
"He what? You told him no right?", I asked.
"Dean, do you really think I would say yes? He doesn't know it's you though and I want to keep it that way", she said.
I nodded.
"If he wasn't an assassin, I would go and punch him in the face right now", I said.
She laughed.
"How do you know these people Lucy?", I asked.
"Friends of my dad's or business partners. Sami and I go way back though, Vinny tried to kill my dad once and Sami stepped in. He took a bullet for my dad, not even knowing him, ever since then he's helped out when we call", she said.
"So you and he", I stopped, waiting to hear her answer.
"Are friends, only friends", she said.
I nodded.
"So did you decide on who to take?", she asked.
"I only know these people as criminals and what they are capable of, but you, you know them differently, help me", I said.
She smiled and nodded. I sat beside her and went through the pictures.
"For sure Roman and Seth, also Graves and Swagger", she said.
"Corbin and I as well", I said.
"Are you crazy? No, you are staying here with me", she said.
"Lucy, I can't lead my team being here", I said.
"Did you forget your stitches? You're staying home", she said.
"Stupid stitches", I mumbled.
She giggled.
"Why not Corbin?", I asked.
"He will be flying out to Ireland. We heard Sheamus flew out there. Don't worry, he won't be going alone. My uncle Phil, Randy, and Kane will be going with him.", she said.
"And Hunter?", I asked.
"He'll be monitoring the Irish crews movements, like what Denise does for you", she said.
I nodded.
"So this Hideo Itami, who is he?", I asked.
"Oh, you and the CIA might know him as Kenta Kobayashi. He changed his name in order to stay with his crew in Japan. Fooled you didn't he?", she said.
I chuckled.
"Well damn baby", I said.
"So you need one more man. I say they take Sami, he can watch their backs from afar", she said.
"No", I said quickly.
"Dean", she said.
"I don't like him", I said, sitting back in my chair and crossing my arms over my chest.
She laughed.
"Babe", she said.
Roman and Seth walked in.
"Did we interrupt?", Roman asked.
"No, come on in, you can help us decide on your partners", she said.
Roman and Seth sat down. Graves and Swagger came in next.
"So you need one more man", she said.
"Why not Sami? He's a hell of a sniper, we know that", Seth said.
"I agree", Corey said.
"Me too", Roman said.
Swagger nodded. I growled.
"Fine, there's your fifth guy", I said.
Lucia giggled and kissed my cheek.
"Now for the ladies, Natayla is a must", Lucia said.
"Call up Sasha, she's been dying to get her hands on Bliss. Carmella wants in as well", Corey said.
"Paige, I mean she was a little pissed about the whole Blake and Murphy thing", Lucia said.
"So then why her?", Seth asked.
"Because the only reason she was pissed was because I didn't call her for help", Lucia said.
"One more", Roman said, looking over the female names on our list.
"Charlotte", Swagger said.
"I heard she was in Australia looking for Emma", Corey said.
"But she'll want in. If it gets her closer to Emma. Emma's friends with Dana, so if we take out Alexa, Dana will come running and then Emma will", Jack said.
"Sounds like a plan", Roman said.
"Jack and I will start making the calls", Corey said.
We all nodded. I took Lucia's hand.
"Now if you don't mind, I'm still jet lagged. Gonna spend a moment with my girl and then sleep before Japan", Roman said.
I nodded.
"I guess I should catch up on sleep right", Seth said.
"Yeah you have a long flight", Lucia said.
He nodded, both he and Seth walked out. Lucia looked at me.
"Have you heard anything from work?", she asked.
I shook my head no.
"It's only a matter of time though, we are wanted men", I said.
"You should have just stayed home, Dean", she said.
"Not without you", I said.
She rested her forehead against mine.
"Is your dad still home?", I asked.
She nodded.
"I should go and have a word with him", I said.
"Why?", she asked.
"Just something we need to discuss", I said.
"About?", she asked.
"Something important to me", I said.
"What's this something?", she asked.
"Lucia", I groaned.
"Keeping secrets from me now", she said smiling.
I smirked and then kissed her.
"Promise to tell you after speaking to your mom and dad, okay", I said.
She rolled her eyes.
"Fine", she sighed.
We stood and her dad was with her mom in his office.
"Mind if we had a word?", I asked.
"Yes, come on in son", her dad said.
"I'm gonna go check on Ben", Lucia said, kissing me and then leaving.
Her mom was about to walk out.
"Oh, please stay, I need to speak to both of you", I said.
She nodded and went over to her husband.
"I know I already asked, but asking in person is a different story. What I'm trying to say is, may I have permission to marry Lucia?", I asked.
Fernandez looked at his wife and she sent him a small nod. They both looked back at me and smiled.
"You have it", he said.
I took a deep breath and chuckled.
"It's more nerve wreaking in person", I said laughing.
They both stood and hugged me.
"You know that whether you marry her or not, you are still apart of our family", her mom said.
"I know, thank you again", I said.
"And we expect more grandbabies", she said.
I laughed nervously.
"After we sort out this mess of course", she said.
"Yes of course", I said.
I walked out of their office and went up to our room. Walking in, Lucia was singing to Ben. He was smiling at her and kicking his feet. Ana was hanging my clothes in the closet.
"I can finish Ana, thank you", Lucia said.
"Relax, senorita Lucia, this is my job", she said.
I stepped inside and unzipped my vest. Ana helped me take it off.
"Thank you", I said, clutching my side.
Lucia set down Ben on our bed.
"Did your stitches open up again?", Lucia asked worried, she lifted my sweater and looked.
Sighing.
"I'm fine baby", I said.
She nodded and kissed me. I went over to Ben on our bed.
"Hi buddy, what are you doing huh? You woke up happy didn't you", I said.
Ben smiled.
"Daddy missed you bud", I whispered, leaning down and kissing his forehead.
"Finished putting Mr. Ambrose's clothes away, I will leave you alone", Ana said.
"Thank you", I said.
She smiled and left. I looked at Lucia, she was opening a new package of diapers. I stood and grabbed her gently by the elbow. She looked up at me.
"You okay?", she asked.
I nodded.
"Can you sit for a minute?", I asked.
"Sure", she said.
She sat beside Ben.
"I wanted to do this, but then Sheamus messed it up, then I got shot and you left", she stopped me.
"Dean", she said.
"Right", I said.
I took out the tiny black box. I struggled to get down on one knee.
"Jon", she gasped.
"Let me do this", I said.
Finally getting down on my knee, I lifted the box and opened it.
"I love you, from the moment I met you, I loved you. I know that I act like a over jealous ass some times but it's only because I know you could do better than me. I know I'm not rich and my anger is out of control some times, but I promise to make you the happiest woman alive, if you say yes to forever with me", I said.
She bit her lip and stood, getting down on her knees in front of me. I wiped her tear.
"You're wrong", she said.
I looked at her confused.
"I can't find someone better for me than you. You're perfect for me and don't you ever forget that Jonathan. As for the rich part, I don't care about money, as long as I have you and Ben, that's enough. There's nothing I can do about your anger, I actually find that extremely sexy, you have to admit angry sex is amazing", she said.
I licked my lips and nodded.
"You've already made me the happiest woman alive baby. I would love to spend the rest of my life with you, forever", she said.
"So, that's a yes, you said yes", I said excited.
She nodded. I kissed her, taking her hand I placed the ring on her finger. Kissing her knuckles and then her lips again.
"I love you", I whispered.
"I love you too", she replied.
