Nik POV

"This is giving me anxiety." I looked at my brother. "You sure we can pull this shit off?"

"No choice but to." He spoke as he pulled on his bulletproof vest. "You gotta vest up sis."

"I will." I sighed and pulled on the Velcro of my vest. "I'm nervous."

"No place for nervousness here." He laughed. "Clear your mind. We got this Nikola."

"I believe you bro." I smiled. "I just want to do it right for Bri. Owe it to her to free her from this shit."

"Agreed." He nodded. "We're suited and booted. Let's make the move."

"You think she's expecting us to turn on Bri like this?" I pulled on the hem of my shirt.

"Yeah." He nodded. "I actually do, who wouldn't turn on her? She just inherited the family fortune."

"She's sharing." I smiled.

"I know but mom doesn't know that shit. So it's a believable excuse as to why we want to stand with her against the Sons and Mercenaries." He looked at me. "We got this Nikola. Be calm and steady."

I fiddled with the knife on the inside of my thigh. The sheath was cool against my skin. "I have to do this?"

"Yeah. She asked you to remove the eagle." He stood up. "Let's go. The MC should be heading out any moment, so we have to be there already and all that shit."

"Alright." I rolled my shoulders and followed my brother out of the motel room and to the car. "I'm ready for this, I am."

"Good." He nodded. "Let the need for vengeance run through you. Mom didn't love you the way she loved Bri, use that as motivation to kill the bitch."

"Fuck." I muttered as I got into the passenger's side. "Fuck." I turned on the radio and Glory and Gore by Lorde filled the space. It felt like a good enough song to ride to a homicide to.

My brother scorned me in Russian. I didn't know what he said entirely, but by the tone of his voice it was a reprimand and not a praise. "I don't understand you." I frowned. "I'm sorry, I just never was taught."

"Not your fault." He squeezed my hands. "Let's do this shit."

"I'm with it." I nodded as I put my ear buds in my ears. "Beast mode tunes." I answered his question before he could get it out.

"I swear you and Bri are weird as all hell." He knocked on the door. A big brute of a guy opened the door. He reminded me of Randy Orton, but with a jacked up grill. "Here to see our mother. It's about Katarzyna Mikhailova, important shit."

"Right away." He let us in. "I will get her now." He jogged off down the hallway and disappeared.

"Pretty boy in on it too?" He looked at me. "I'm not dumb, I keep track of who my little sisters shack up with."

"Yeah." I smirked. "He's in it."

He rolled his eyes as our mom strolled towards us. Her red pant suit stood out among the black her handful of faithful enforcers wore.

"Petyr, Nikola." She gave us air kisses. "What brings you here?"

"Well, mother." My brother greeted her. "We want to help you take out Katarzyna."

Her eyes went wide. "What?"

"We don't think it's fair that she got all of dad's wealth." I frowned. "We want the wealth you can have the power."

"I'm listening." She smirked. "You really want to go against Katarzyna?"

"Yes." Petyr nodded. "I want what's rightfully mine. I want to be the heir of the arms business. She doesn't want any of it anyways. She always looked down on us for running guns and shit."

"I just want to do something that'll makes you proud of me." I smiled weakly. "Tired of being the disgrace."

"My children." She pulled us in to a group hug. "I knew this day would come eventually. I knew it."

"I'm glad we're working together now." I smiled.

"I have someone who you should meet." She smiled at us. "Another former friend of Katarzyna who wants to dethrone her."

We exchanged a quick look before walking behind her. Hoping the plan was going in a good direction and that a certain pretty boy would be sitting behind the door of the office we had stopped in front of.

"Meet Jax Teller." She threw open the door and he was sitting there with a smug look on his handsome face.

"Are you fucking serious?" I asked. "You were saved by her now you're going to betray her?" I hissed at him.

"Outlaw life darlin'." He shrugged. "Gotta do what's best for myself and my family! Standing against Bri, that's what's best for me."

I sat down next to him. "Sorry, I just didn't expect to see you here." I smiled. "Glad you are though."

"He's giving me his club and your sister's precious mercenaries." She scoffed. "Your sister was dumb to think she could have so much control with so little work."

Jax stood up and dropped his kutte to the table. "I'm with the Eagle." He spoke as he pulled on an all black flannel. "Looks good on me."

"Grim Reaper." I smirked. "Figures."

"He's the bringer of death." She laughed menacingly. "He's agreed to end his club himself."

"Don't need a club, they didn't agree to stand by me with this decision to flip." He shook his head. "After banning your sister, they want to stick with her."

"Fools." I sighed. "Always underestimating a true power."

"We band together and we can't be stopped. He raises a new MC, you sell arms and you my Nikola, you learn to love a power player." She beamed. "We will find you a good husband."

I forced a smile. "Yeah?"

"Yes. Let's get ready." She nodded. "Jax here needs to lead his club into our trap."

He stood. "Club business one last time."

I smirked and watched him slip his kutte back on and walk out of the room. So far so good.

SOASOASOA

Happy POV

The warehouse was sketchy. Jax jogged towards us with a smirk on his face as he dropped into the ditch to get level with the rest of us.

"This place seems easy enough to break in to." He nodded. "Didn't see too many guys."

I nodded. "I'll go in first."

"Can't risk that." He shook his head. "I'll go in first, you and Kozik right behind me. Followed by Tig and Chibs, then Juice, then Bobby, Rat, and then it'll end with a few friends."

"Who?" I asked him.

"Them." He pointed to a group of guys walking towards us through the thick brush. "Bri's Mercs."

"She let you use them?" I frowned back at them.

"They reached out to me." He met my scowl with one of his own.

I rolled my eyes, Bri had to be behind the man power. They wouldn't reach out to us on their own. They were smart enough to know not to run into a burning building. "Cool."

"This is it." Jax stood. "We get in, we spill blood for them trying to spill ours."

"Aye." Chibs smiled. "Let's do it Jackie boy."

I cocked my gun and looked at Koz and Juice who were staring at me. "Let's do this brothers." I stood. "Let's get rid of this goddamn Russian problem once and for all."

They let out hollers. "We got this!" Juice pounded his chest. "Let's murder some fools."

I rolled my eyes. "Did you have sugar for breakfast?"

He nodded with a smile. "Yeah I did."

I shook my head as we started for the warehouse. I frowned, we should have been doing this shit at night, not in the daylight, especially not in the morning when we risked being seen by any passerbys.

The door splintered apart as we rushed in. Bodies dropped left and right as we progressed through the building. Something was off. No one was returning fire, it was as of they expected us. They were waiting and we walked right into their trap.

That's when it happened. The Russians swooped in behind Jax, they out manned and armed us.

"Drop your weapons!" Jax yelled at us. "Drop them now!" His gun was now turned on us. "Now!"

"What is this shit?" I yelled back as I dropped my gun to the ground at the threat of my brains being blown out by my own brother.

He smirked. "Power shift brotha." He shrugged off his kutte and threw it at me. "I'm on this side now."

"Jesus Christ Jackson." Chibs said as he was dropped to his knees with the rest of us. "Why the fuck would you do this brother?"

"Have to do what's best for me and my family." He smiled. "She made me an offer I couldn't refuse."

Bri's mother stepped forward and halted right between the two groups. Her hands on her hips as she took in the sight. "So good to see you." She smirked. "Always good to see an enemy go down. Katarzyna isn't here to save you now." She laughed as two people pushed through behind Jax. Nik and her brother Petyr.

"What the fuck?" Kozik asked me in a whisper. "Fucking bullshit."

Nik looked at me quickly. Something devious flashing in her eyes as guns were drawn. "End this shit." She held the gun to my head as the masked Russians took spots behind us. "Sons first then the mercenaries." Her gun made an audible click as she chambered a bullet. "You ever play one in the chamber?" She crouched down to be eye level with me.

I glared at her. "Bitch." I spat at the ground besides her and she smacked me with her pistol.

"It was nice knowing you all." She smiled and fired her gun.

SOASOASOA

Juice POV

The gun shots rang out and bodies dropped. I shuddered as I felt blood splatter against my face. I looked around and all my brothers were still kneeling. The Russians however were all down. Except for Bri's mom Sonya who was now on her knees. Jax had his pistol pressed to her temple.

"You bastard!" She yelled. "You tricked me!"

"You really fuckin' thought we'd turn on our sister? For the likes of you?" Nik stepped beside Jax.

"You will pay for this!" She yelled at the three of them.

"Katarzyna." Nik spoke. "She has way more reach than you thought she had originally." She gestured and the bodies of the guys who had fallen earlier stood and pulled open their shirts. "Military grade vests."

"Looks like Bri got one over on us." I frowned. "This time she reached out to Jax."

"Kill or be killed." Nik said as she plunged a knife into her mom's neck and let her fall forward onto it. A pool of blood forming as she laid there losing her life.

"Jackson!" Chibs slammed him into the nearest wall. "What the fuck was that?"

"That was me eliminating the problem." He shrugged Chibs off. "We're free brother, free to focus on our legitimate side."

"Why didn't you tell us?" I asked.

"Bri said not to tell you." He shook his head. "Wanted the scene to be believable."

"She trying to say we can't act?" Tig asked. "I'm hurt."

"I'm relieved." I sighed. "I thought we were fuckin' dead. Especially Happy. He did have a gun pointed to his head!"

"I got pistol whipped by my girlfriend's little sister!" He yelled as Chibs examined the cut on his head.

"Thanks." Nik hugged Jax. "For helping out."

"No problem." Jax smiled at her. "All about the service darlin'."

"Is that right?" She smirked before turning away. "Sorry." She rested a hand on Happy's shoulder. "Didn't mean to hit you that hard."

"I'll get you back." Happy growled at her. "Promise you that shit."

"Let's get out of here." Petyr said. "Cops will be here in no time once I put in the call."

SOASOASOA

Bri POV

I had my legs propped up on the hospital bed when the nurse came in to check on Lo who was still knocked out from the pain medicine.

"The doctors are hopeful about there not being any type of infection." She smiled at me.

"That's good." I smiled.

"Your sister?" She asked with a small soft smile.

"No." I smiled. "My best friend, same thing I guess though."

"It is." She nodded. "Best friends are the sisters are parents never gave us."

"Ain't that the truth." I smiled.

"Well if you need anything hit the button." She gestured towards the remote sitting on the bed.

I rolled my eyes and watched her leave before grabbing Lo's hand. "I'm really glad you didn't flip on me like Natalie did. You're a real friend." I rubbed a hand over her cheeks. "I have an amazing plan for her to earn her way back into my good graces."

"Brianna." I heard his raspy voice before I even saw him come into the room.

"What happened?" I stood as I looked at his head.

"Your sister pistol whipped me!" He moved his hands erratically. "It was a surge of adrenaline even though she shot a bullet at me."

"What!" I looked at him. "Say you're lying!"

"Nope." He shook his head. "Your plan worked out though. I can't believe you did that shit Brianna! I can't fucking believe it. Jax? And your brother? And Nik?"

"I feel bad." I sat down. "I'm sorry I didn't clue you in."

"I'm just happy we're fucking done with this Russian shit." He grabbed my hands. "Come with me to get cleaned up and stitched?"

"Yeah, then I gotta go to the chapel." I sighed as he hugged me from the side.

"The guys send their thanks, would have invited you to the clubhouse but you know all that shit." He rubbed my hip. "You'll talk to them later."

#

I sat in the chapel, lit four candles and prayed for forgiveness. Prayed for the weight of my sins to lift from my shoulders as I continued on this fucked up journey called life.

I smiled as I looked at my phone. The message was from Nik, the bird had its wings clipped. It was finally over. The war, it had ended before it had any substance to really begin. I did my part, took out my mom without risking my life or those of my unborn children. Now it was up to me to see to it that my step dad went down as well.

"Father, who are in heaven. May you forgive me, and show me how to right my ways." I lit another candle and closed my eyes.

"Bri." Aleksandr spoke as his hand grabbed me. "It's over." He hugged me. "For now."

"Couldn't have pictured a better leader." I smiled up at him. "Do it up big man. You own half of Russia now."

"All hail the Queen." He laughed and winked at me. "How's the baby?"

"I'm having twins." I smiled. "A boy and a girl apparently. The girl is smaller so she wasn't detected when the boy was. So now I'm high risk."

"That's a blessing." He kissed my forehead. "Two heirs at once."

"Yeah." I nodded. "I need a favor, I want that house Natalie was in to be completely remodeled for Nik."

"Alright." He nodded. "Speaking of Natalie, she's here. Labor pains."

"Jesus." I frowned. "Sorry!" I looked up and smiled. "Take me to her ya?"

"Of course." He grabbed my hand and walked me out. "You're basically my daughter Bri. I want to be grandpa to the babies."

"Does that mean you're staying state side?" I smiled up at him. Although I stood a mere two inches under the six foot mark his six feet six inch build made me feel like a five year old standing next to a giant.

"I have to go back." He started. "To tie up loose ends, but I will be coming back. I got a family here." He smiled.

"Yeah you do." I nodded. "I never really ask you, but do you like Happy? Like honestly and truly?"

"Yeah." He laughed. "He's perfect for you. You guys balance each other out. Although he does talk a lot more now than he did before."

"I like that he does." I paused at the nurse station in the Labor and Delivery wing. "Natalie Monroe."

"Room 4560." The nurse said. "You are?"

"Her sister." I blinked as she pressed visitor passes on me and Aleksandr. "She's in real labor?"

"Yeah she is." She smiled. "You plan on giving birth here too when it's time?"

"Yes I do." I smiled. "Twins!"

"Congratulations." She hugged me. "Just go on in now."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"I'm not going in." Aleksandr haulted. "I'll be right here in this chair."

I laughed. "Alright, see if you can't get Juice here."

SOASOASOA

Natalie POV

I had expected Juice to be in the room with me as we waited for baby Luna. Instead Bri looked down at me with a look of pure satisfaction. Her eyes were bright and seemed to say, I see karma is working you over today. The pain was excruciating and the doctor said I was too far gone to get pain medication. I would feel everything. Every contraction and every tear as I pushed my daughter into the world.

"Looks painful." Bri frowned. "I'm not a baby doctor or anything so I don't know what's really happening."

"Where's Juice?" I asked her as a contraction ripped through me and I seized up. Gripping the railing of the bed.

"On his way." She said coolly. "He was doing club shit."

"Ow." I groaned. "This isn't fun."

"Doesn't appear to be fun." She smirked. "You realize I may still take her away from you?"

I froze and stared at her wide eyed. "You wouldn't?"

"You want to test me?" She rolled her eyes and I shook my head. "Thought so Natalie."

"Why are you being mean?" I cringed as another contraction hit. They were coming fast and lasting awhile. I knew I was close to giving birth.

"Because I can be." She smirked.

"So you're the mean girl?" I asked.

"No." She shook her head. "I'm just Brianna."

"You never used to be mean or vindictive." I said through clenched teeth.

"I never had a sister sell me out for a quick payday." She hissed. "I spared you because you're important to Juan, I didn't spare you so we could be best friends again. If I didn't care so much about him still, well you would have been in a pine box already. Baby and all. Plus if you read that letter you would know I have plans for you."

I blinked at her and in that moment I understood her completely. I was here for Juan and if he didn't love me I wouldn't be here and I knew that if he ever left me, I would very well end up in a pine box in an unmarked grave. "I love him you know."

She scoffed. "Yeah I know you do." She shrugged as Juice pushed into the room and frowned at the sight of me. "I'll leave you two alone. Congratulations Juan Carlos you're about to be a daddy." She hugged him and I noticed his hand landed a bit lower on her back than it should have.

"Thanks Bri." He kissed her forehead. "Hey babe, did they pump you full of the good shit yet?"

"No." I gritted my teeth. "Too late for pain medications."

"Oh shit." He frowned as he grabbed my hands. "Squeeze hard but don't break them. If I can't ride I'm out of the Sons."

I let that settle in my head as I squeezed his hands through another contraction. A little harder and I wouldn't have to share him with the club.

#

"She's pretty." Happy said as he held Luna. "Looks just like you her." He patted Juice on the back with a laugh.

"She's a princess." Juice replied. "Look at all that hair!"

"Locks spun of gold." Bri said. "She's pretty."

"Uncle Happy." Juice said. "Auntie Bri."

"Oh lord." Bri laughed. "Monica won't share us, watch."

"Has no choice." He shook his head. "LuLu needs aunts and uncles too."

"Yeah." Bri sighed. "I guess so. I'm heading out. Gotta see Lo and then heading home to kick my feet up. My ankles are killing."

"I'll go with." Happy said as he handed Luna back to Juice. "Enjoy the peace while it lasts."

We watched them leave and Juice smiled at the pink bundle he held. "Lu your Uncle Happy and Auntie Bri are just intense huh? Yeah they do look like meanie faces."

"She's attached to you." I smiled. "It's beautiful to see."

"My little LuLu." He nodded. "She's not allowed to be with a Son."

"I figured as much." I laughed. "You okay to watch her while I nap?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "She has uncles in the waiting room who want to meet her. Very popular you are Luna."

I watched him stand and walk out of the room. I felt blessed in that moment that he had stepped up and became the dad Luna needed and the man I needed. It was a godsend and I wanted to keep him forever.

A/N: a lot happened in this chapter. Sorry if it was too much but Natalie couldn't be pregnant forever because Bri needs her in part two of the plan.

Thanks for the reviews! Love when I get them.
