Chapter 31: I Want It All
I Only Own The Plot
APOV
We've been at home for over a month now and I can't believe the difference it has made with the babies. Christian has been nothing short of amazing, and I knew to not expect anything less. I practically had to beg him to let me help with night feedings. The man is obsessed with being a father and it is the biggest turn-on ever.
"Beauty, I think CJ is over daddy bonding time. He can't seem to rest with me." Christian says while passing me his namesake. LJ is a pure daddy's boy. The way his eyes light up when he sees Christian is like a kid coming down the steps on Christmas morning. Meanwhile, I can't move a muscle without CJ watching my every move, just like his father.
I take CJ from his father; he instantly ceases movement and has a slight smile. After a second, he snuggles deeper into my body and his eyes start to flutter.
"Absolute natural," Christian says while bending down to give us both a kiss on her head. I instantly turn my face upwards for a kiss on the lips and he smiles because he knows what I am doing. He obliges and I try to deepen the kiss. He pulls back after a few seconds. Christian shakes his head as he walks away whispering "Two more weeks". I giggle and he immediately snaps his head back to where I am sitting and gives me his panty-dropping smile. I absolutely love this man.

After the boys are down for a nap, I call for a meeting between the family and everyone meets downstairs in the kitchen.
"I wanted to settle in with the boys before I brought up the Isa situation. I want her head served to me on the silver platter for what she did to our boys and us. I want there to be no place that she can go without thinking of what she did to us. I need justice. Luckily the public loves us and is on our side about the privacy of our boys, but that doesn't excuse the damage she tried to do. I don't care how it gets done, and I don't want to know, but I want it done by the end of this week. Flush her out of my city," I say in a very calm voice.
Christian and Luke have a look of determination on their faces. I never ask for anything, but this is one thing I don't mind asking of them. I stand up from my seat and start to walk back upstairs to my office. As I turn the corner, I hear them start to plan. I know in my heart, this is the right thing to do. From the very beginning, she had an imaginary problem with me. Now, her problem is solved. I solved it for her, she will never have to worry about my family again.
I reach my office and make sure the baby monitor is still on. We put a monitor in every room of the house just in case. I sit behind my desk and lose myself in work for a few hours while my sweet babies nap. I hear my phone start to vibrate on my desk and I flip it over to find Isa calling me on FaceTime. I knew this was coming. I take a deep breath to center myself and start screen recording on my phone.
"Hello Isabelle," I say in a calm voice.
"Well Ana, how the hell is parenthood treating you? Covered in spit-up all day and smelling like milk," she cackles.
"Enjoying every second. What can I do for you, Isabelle? I know you didn't call just to check on my children," I say in an even tone.
"I was just wondering what retribution you were going to repay me for spilling your sacred secret of your twins. What are you cooking up? I don't understand how you are so calm about this. It's been a month and no word from you. I wanted to hurt you like how you hurt me," she spits at me.
"I did nothing to you. I didn't tell my brother to divorce you. You made that decision when you intentionally tried to drive a wedge between us and have us stop speaking. My brother is a forever figure in my life. If Christian decided to leave me at this very second, which I would bet my net worth that he wouldn't even consider doing, Luke would always be right there helping me raise his nephews. You just didn't understand that. Your choices were to either be a part of the family or be on the outside looking in like everyone else. Splitting our family apart was never a choice for you," I say still in a calm tone. "But know this, this isn't the end. You are going to get what is coming to you," I smile into the camera before hanging up. I send the recording to Christian and Luke.
As I hit send I heard that one of my boys was awake. I cross the hall into the nursery and I see that LJ is awake and looking around. I scoop him up and I hold him close to me. I know I can't stop the world from harming them. They are going to go out and someone is going to hurt their feeling or break their hearts, but I will never allow someone who I brought into their life to be that person. Isabelle is going down.
