I fixed my hair into an updo of some sorts. I'm not good with these type of things. Soft lips lightly touch the nape of my neck. I shivered, "Jack..."

I looked into his mischievous eyes through the mirror. His lips turned upward into a smirk. His lips continued to trail up my neck to the shell of my ear. I visibly shivered, "We can't. We shouldn't. We are meeting with your parents and brother for dinner. They invited us."

Jack's lips disappeared from my skin in an instant. Here it comes in 5...4...3...2...1... He groaned, "Do we have to? I rather make love to my beautiful wife than see those bastards."

And there it is. I turned around on my vanity stool fixing his belt that was slightly skewed to the left. I gave a light sigh in approval, "We have to. From what you told me, they won't take the answer no very kindly."

Jack ruffled through his mixed brunette and blond locks with his hand. He held out his other as to make a point, "That's because they are mobsters, Madeline. They take what they want and get what they want just by a trigger."

I stood up pushing in the stool. I walked in front of a now pacing Jack. I grabbed the front of his shirt when he walked towards me. I ran my hands up and down it lightly, "Think the faster we get there the faster we can get home."

Jack's eyes widened a fraction. A smirk was placed on his lips. His voice came out huskier than normal, "So what does that mean Mrs. Napier?"

I giggled, "You know exactly what that means. Making a child can't be done by myself."

Jack bent down and I felt his lips on my neck. As fast it came it went when he nipped my jugular with his teeth. I gasped and lightly smacked his chest, "Jack!"

His lips continued to smirk as he nuzzled his face into my neck and hair. I heard his intake of air. His warm breath tickled my skin as he spoke, "I love the way you smell."

I tried pulling away from him so we can get going but that didn't work as his arms tightened around me. I sighed, "Jack we better be going."

Jack gave a rough nip to my neck which sent shivers up my spine. His words danced across my skin, "Let me relish in this moment just a little bit longer since we have to go see my bastards so called family."

I let him. I know how much he didn't want to be near him or associate with them. He started this life so he can be away from that. He wanted to start a family with a woman he loved which we are working on right now.

Jack opened the passenger side car door of his 2008 scarlet dodge charger. A bare leg with a black heel stepped out. Jack's hand reached for mine which I gladly took. In a swift movement he helped me out of the car closing the door behind me. I straightened out his suit and tie. I whispered, "Parents don't scare me, Jack. I am sure it will be fine. The only difference from other parents is that they are mobsters."

I felt Jack relax under my touch. His arm went around my waist guiding me to the home of his parents. My eyes widened when I looked at the home of the Napiers. It's a mansion. Jack lightly touched the bottom of my chin, "Your mouth is open, sweet cheeks."

I felt blood rush to my cheeks. I whispered in a rush, "You didn't tell me you live in this! Your family is loaded."

Jack remembered when he first met her parents who lives in a small home fit for a family of four. His eyes looked back at the mansion in distaste, "They got the money wrongfully."

I almost forgot that his family is a mob family. I swallowed, "Sorry... I forgot."

He sighed reaching up to the doorbell. A series of chimes echoed through the home. Loud barking was heard notifying the family there are intruders or guests at the door. I felt my blood drain out of my face. Jack gave a reassuring squeeze to my waist. The door opened to a blond woman. She placed her hands on her hips, "JAck you are late."

Jack smiled sheepishly, "Sorry about that ma. Madeline just got sick before we came."

My eyes glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. I got sick beginning of the week but not today. His mother sighed letting her hands rest at her side. I could feel her eyes scan over my person and I brought my attention back to her. Her heels clicked against the tile and on the steps. His mother's hands touched my face moving my head side to side before a smile was reached on her lips. I could feel Jack's muscles untense. His mother stepped back inside, "Come, I'll fix something for her and the child."

Both of our faces turned pale. I know for sure I'm not pregnant as I took a test everyday of this week and it turned out to be negative. Jack ushered me forward while trying to catch his mother, "Ma... she is-."

A voice interrupted Jack, "Well well well isn't it mother's little Joker?"

His mother continued to where I think is the kitchen. Her right hand raised up and curled her finger to indicate to follow, "Madeline isn't it? Come."

I felt Jack's grip on my waist loosen. I looked at him unsure what to do. Jack grabbed my hand pulling me towards him. His lips touched my own. He pulled away speaking quietly, "Better go."

My eyes looked between the two brothers before heading to the kitchen. I could hear his brother's words, "I can't believe she is with you freak."

Jack growled and that was the last I heard. His mother was over the stove swirling something inside the pot. His mother glanced behind her seeing me standing at the door way, "Sit and relax."

Her eyes found my clenched fists. A wagging ladle caught my attention, "Don't stress yourself out. It's not good for child."

I released my tension in my fist feeling the half moon marks release an amount of pain. I looked over to the island seeing a stool and took a seat there. I spoke, "I hate to tell you but I'm not expecting."

I watched his mom shake her head. Her voice cut through the air, "I know when a woman is pregnant. I had two children. I think I would know. A mother always know."

This chapter and next are going to be focused on their past with meeting his folks and what not. Sorry if I haven't been updating. I've lost motivation to do anything. I am starting to now get my motivation back. Anywho I hope you guys like this chapter. I just want to get more ground on their past a bit before continuing with the present. Hope you guys have a wonderful day and week :D
