Reworked a bit of this chapter that I wasn't too fond of when I wrote it.
I turn over to curl back into Santiago only to find his side of the bed cold and empty.
"San!" I shout sitting up and rubbing my eyes.
When I fumble with the lamp, I feel a piece of paper. Turning on the light I smile when I see familiar hand writing.
When to Puck's, handling the Artie business. I'll be back for lunch.
Love you always,
Your Sanny
I think I might have fallen even more in love with him. He's always doing suck sweet things for me.
"Mommy, I'm hungry." Abe says running in and leaping on the bed.
"Are you now monkey?" I jokingly ask tickling him.
"Yes mommy," he squeals.
I'm thankful right now that San insisted we put on our sleeping clothes after last night's activities. Picking up Abe much to his delight I carry him into the twins room. Both of who are up and looking around.
"Thank god you two are more like me than your father." I giggle as Abe frowns realizing I'm talking about him.
"I'm like daddy." Abe says smiling.
"God it's like have two Santiago's." I whisper to myself.
"I'm hungry," he pouts.
"Go down and wait for me, I have to feed your siblings first." I tell him kissing the top of his head.
"Cans I watch TV?" he asks hopeful.
Normally I would tell him no and to go play with his dad, but with San gone I guess I should let him.
"Ok-"
Before I can even finish Abe squeals, hugging my legs and runs out. Chuckling I pick up Diana first so she won't fuss and sit down in the rocker.
"I bet you're hungry aren't you." I whisper kissing her little cheeks causing her to giggle.
She pulls on my shirt, opening her mouth. She's such a cutie pie and inpatient when it comes to eating just like San. I love that both girls look a lot like San, but have blond hair. It's like no matter what happens I'll always have a piece of San with me. Not that I think he'll ever leave me, but with him being a former mob boss and having killed his dad and who knows else I'm scared that someone will try and kill him.
"Okay Diana, I think it's time to feed your sister now." I say burping her and putting her back into her crib.
After feeding Natalia, I carry both of them downstairs and put them in the play pen in the living room with Abe.
"Can I have bacon?" he asks getting up and following me into the kitchen.
"I guess," I tease lifting him up onto the counter.
He's always my little helper when it comes to cooking. It's our special bonding time and I love having him help.
"Goods, I eat pig," he says giggling at his own joke.
He really tries to copy his dad in everything.
"You're silly," I say tickling his side.
"Stop mommy," he laughs trying to escape.
"Nope my silly little monkey." I giggle swinging him around.
"Love you," he whispers wrapping his little arms around my neck and nuzzling into the crook of my neck.
"You really are just like your daddy and I love you too monkey." I whisper carrying him over to the kitchen table.
"I like being like daddy." he says a huge smile on his face.
I can't help, but smirk at how happy he is to be like his daddy, there had ever been any doubt in my mind of Santiago being a great dad this would make them all go away. Abe looks up to him so much and he's such a good role model for him. They're my two favorite boys in the world.
"When's daddy coming home?" he asks as I put his breakfast in front of him, ruffling his hair and kissing his cheek.
"I don't know monkey, he went to Puck's." I tell him.
"Omph," he muffly says as he's stuffs a bunch of bacon in his mouth.
Shaking my head I head into the living room to check on the twins. Going by the front window I notice a sketchy looking truck parked across the street. If you ask me it looks like it's casing our house. San's warned me about this sort of thing when he was still in charge of everything we have a plan for when something like this happens.
"Abe! Go up into the nursery." I shout grabbing the twins and quickly rushing up to the nursery.
The nursery's walls, window and door are all bulletproof as San wanted a safe room upstairs in our house. I expected Abe to already be in there, but he's not.
"Fuck," I whisper. "Why do you have to be so much like your dad." I mumble to myself as I quietly make my way back downstairs after locking the nursery door.
"Mommy, someone's coming." I hear Abe whisper when I reach the living room and peck out the window.
"Come on baby, we have-" I'm cut off when I see Abe slip out from under the couch and run towards San's office.
The door handle jiggles, I can't decide wither to go after Abe or go back up to the twins. Heading halfway up the stairs, I see the one person I hoped I was wrong about standing outside on the porch as the door is kicked in. Fear overrides my brain as I run into the nursery fumbling for my cell. I know Abe will hide in San's office and I hope that nothing bad happens.
San
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Sorry for yelling at you." I tell Puck.
"Hey, I would have done the same if it was my woman." Puck says slapping my back.
"It's just so scary having her terrified of someone that I can't beat the fuck out of." I sigh tears threatening to spill out.
I hate crying in front of people even Brittany. I'm the strong one, that protector and man of the house.
"Santiago, your phone's going off." Puck says tapping my shoulder.
I nod getting up and smiling when I see whose calling.
Angel, I say happily.
San, I hear her sob and I know something's wrong.
What's wrong? I ask running out of Puck's apartment.
He's here and Abe…. she trails off and I hear her hushing one of the twins.
Angel please tell me that Abe's with you. I say as calmly as I can.
He wouldn't come up. she sobs and I know where he went.
Angel stay there, I'll be back in two minutes and I'll protect our son. I tell her.
The whole time I'm racing back every bad thing that could happen runs through my head. It only takes two minutes, but it's the longest two minutes of my life. I'm surprised that I even managed to park and turn off the car before I'm out and kicking down my own door which has obviously already been kicked in.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here." Franks a short bald headed man says.
"I'll give you one chance to leave." I growl pulling out my gun.
"Boy, you don't have the balls to shoot me." he laughs which causes Cant to come down from upstairs.
"I can't open one door up there." Cant says before he sees me.
I smile when I hear him say this. At least I know that my Angel is safe along with the twins now all I have to do is make sure my son is safe.
"If it isn't Santiago Lopez." Cant says smirking.
"Stay away!" Abe shouts from what sounds like my office.
"Hold on Abe!" I shout wanting him to know I'm coming.
"No you don't," Gell says tackling me from behind.
Damn, hearing Abe's voice distracted me, I can't let that happen again.
"Get him up," Timmons says ordering the other three around.
Being dragged over to the sofa, one of them shoves me down on it.
"I should kill you for what you did to your father." Timmons growls.
"He deserved what he got." I growl back.
He backhands me, but honestly I could care less what happens to me since I know my family is safe as Abe has probably locked himself in safe closet in my office just like I taught him to do if he can't get up to the nursery with him mom.
"Listen to me boy, I will kill that slut of yours in front of you so you best not test me." Timmons growls.
"Touch her and I'll end you." I growl glaring at him.
"I'm not scared of you boy." Timmons laughs.
"Yeah boy did you forget who we are?" Franks asks waving his gun in my face.
Cant's about to say something when a flash of blonde runs by and upstairs.
"Catch the kid!" Artie shouts rolling in. "Carry me up there." he orders completely ignoring me.
While Cant and Gell go to help Artie, I use the distraction to grab a gun I just so happened to hide under the couch three days ago.
"Drop it," I growl my gun barrel pressed against Timmons head.
"N-"
Timmons's body fell with a thud and Franks looks over only to be shot as well. I'm not about to leave anyone who's a threat to my family alive.
"Stay away from mommy!" Abe shouts and I hear a gun shot.
Running up the stairs I shoot Cant and Gell quickly only to see Abe holding a gun to Artie.
"Daddy," Abe shouts ducking pass Artie and over to me.
"Give me the gun." I softly tell him and he hands me the gun.
Right now I'm really glad that I taught him how to use a gun even though Britt wouldn't have sex with me for a month.
"I can't believe you stayed with that slut even helping her raise my child." Artie sneers and Abe hides behind my legs.
All I can see is red, this bastard thinks he can call my Angel a slut and live.
"I was the only-"
"San," Brittany cries running into my arms stepping over Artie's body.
I lift her up and hug her tightly to me.
"You saved us," she whispers as I carry her and Abe into the nursery.
I need to see our baby girls as well I'm too amped up from all of this.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"You saved us." Brittany repeats for the tenth time since I disposed of the bodies with Puck's help.
"I will always save you and the kids." I whisper in her ear.
She smiles and snuggles into me. We're currently lying in bed with the twins at the far end of the room as Brittany didn't want them near where the men were killed. I don't blame her; I plan on moving us away as soon as possible. I don't care where.
"Mommy, daddy," Abe says walking in.
"Come on up." I say patting the spot next to me.
He scampers up and curls into me. Brittany reaches across me to ruffle his hair.
"That man said he was my daddy." Abe says looking up at me.
I look over at Britt with a worried look on my face.
"Sweetie, Santiago is your daddy; he's just not the one to put you in my belly." Brittany quietly says looking at me the whole time.
"So he's not my daddy?" Abe asks a frown on his face.
"He is and I know this is hard to understand, but that man hurt me and your dad came to take care of us before you were born. No matter what anyone thinks or says, he's your dad." she says more to me than him.
Abe looks a little confused, but then just smiles and snuggles even more into me. I guess he just accepts what she said.
"You know we'll have to explain all this to him in a few years when he can understand better." I whisper.
"I know, but as long as you're his dad I'm not worried." she whispers putting her head on my chest.
"I love you Angel so much."
