Alexa POV:
Its my big day , graduation day and I'm so excited to see my family today I haven't seen my brother since New Years and I haven't seen Anna, mom, and dad since winter break back in February.so you can only imagine how excited I was to be seeing everyone. I was expecting Robbie earlier than everyone else he should be here any minute so now I'm pacing back and forth in my room trying on different outfits like the new kid in school I've always looked up to my big brother hard working and handsome if I say so myself . I yelled for Cassie to come and when she peeked her head in and saw my mind state she jumped right into defensive mode asking if everything was okay and if I needed a drink knowing I don't drink I gave a little laugh and said yeah whiskey on the rocks please and we both laughed at our inside joke.FLASHBACK 2 years ago:Lexie you home Cassie called out as her and Josh enter the house I was busy doing research for a case I'm working on for my externship in her I yell from the den. She enters with Josh on one arm and a bag in the other and said ok so Josh and I are inviting over his roommate and we're gonna hang out and get WAISTED she yelled all I could do was shake my head at her spirit it's never dull.an hour later we were in the kitchen sitting around the table laughing joking and they were drinking when it was my turn to drink I tried playing it cool and said no thanks I only take whiskey on the rocks...................End of flashback..................I stopped pacing faced her and said Robbie will be here any minute to take me to brunch and I have nothing to wear can I borrow one of your dresses when I mentioned my brother I could've sworn I saw her blush a dark shade of red and say Robbie is coming here today with big eyes. I've always thought that she had a crush on my brother but I never really paid much attention to it until now when the mer mention of my brothers name has her stuttering and blushing like a 8th grader with a crush. I looked at her and shook my head and left for her closet with Cass close behind grabbed a dress and went to get ready.just as I finished getting dressed the doorbell rand and I hear Cassie yelling she'll get it I do a once over in the floor length mirror and make my way out of the room as soon as I see him I can't help but squeal and run into my brothers arms and hug him so tight. He rubs my hair like he's always done since I was baby and said how proud he is of me before we let go of each other. I look at Cass who is staring at Robbie and I clear my throat she jumps a little out of what I can only imagine is her thoughts and go to say goodbye when Robbie asks her if she would like to join us his treat she immediately said yes..... a little to fast if you asked me.we arrive at a little mom and pop diner called Aunty's and park I look at Robbie wondering how he knew we loved to eat here I've never told him about this diner before all he does is smile and say lucky guess let's go and he's out the car quickly.we were seated right away and the waiter took our drink order and placed our menus down in the table and left to get our drinks once the waitress leaves Cassie starts asking Robbie a bunch of questions like they know each other outside of me introducing them which has my head spinning at the thought when the waitress returns with our drinks we order our food and finish a wonderful conversation when I get the sudden feeling that someone is watching me so I stop talking and look around when I notice Henry the manager of the diner watching me like always creep I mumble under my breath but both Cass and Robbie heard me. And gave me an arched brow as if I have grown two heads.after brunch it was time to get ready to pick up the rest of my family so we dropped off Cass and headed to the airport. The ride to the airport was awkwardly quiet but to break the silence I ask the first question that comes to mind. So Robbie is there something going on with you and Cass I should know about? And he nearly chocks off his saliva in the process and looks at me for a brief second and asks kitty kat what makes you say that with raised eyebrows. I look at him and say I don't know you guys seemed to be pretty chatty at brunch today that's all. He usures me that nothing is going on as we pull into the airport just as Ana, mom,and dad are leaving baggage claim.When they spot us it's an emotional reunion to say the least.Back at home after everyone went to their hotels I began getting ready with the help of Cass of course. I wore a body con all black dress that stopped just above my knees and had my back out with 6 inch stilettos and light make up as always. After doing a once over in the mirror with a nod of self approval I'm out the door with my cap and gown in hand and Cassie by my side we look at each other with a knowing look and nod and head to graduation.once the valedictorian finishes her speech everybody cheers caps are thrown in the air and I am officially a practicing lawyer. After graduation we say our goodbyes to everyone and me and Cassie head to club KARMA!Jasmine’s POV:So the boys are now six months old and growing stronger every day. I must admit I see why Jace mom said no nanny for the boys motherhood is amazing. They are babbling and trying to crawl it’s so amazing to watch and Jace is loving every minute of being a dad. At about two o’clock my phone rings “private number”? I ignore the call and continue with putting the boys down for a nap. No nap leads to cranky babies and we don’t want that. Once they’re down I start prepping my dinner spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread I’m rolling my meatballs when my phone goes off again and again private number so again I ignore the call. Two minutes later I receive a voicemail “hey Siri play voicemail on speaker”! Ciao Mia piccola principessa mafioso! It is your father calling I don’t know if your mother told you or not, but daddy is coming home soon and I can not wait to finally meet you. Oh and my handsome grandsons as well. I hope that man of yours is planning to make an honest wom
Jasmine’s POV:So yesterday I had my six week check up and the doctor gave the all clear to resume normal activity thank goodness for a minute there I thought I would die sleeping next to a naked Jace can you imagine my dilemma. I’ve decided to surprise him tonight with some very pretty sleep wear I have goose bumps just thinking about it. I place a call to Jace’s mom and ask if she wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on the boys and she’s more than happy to oblige. I drop the boys off at about five in the evening giving me enough tim to cook and shower and shave before he gets home with just enough time to spare. At about eight p.m. I receive a call from Jace asking if he should pick up dinner and I decline and tell him to hurry home. Just as I make it to the kitchen the oven timer goes off and I’m loving the aroma in the air. Ahh Alfredo and garlic two of my most favorite foods. I made a spinach Alfredo with mushroom risotto and oven roasted garlic chicken. I pull out the white wine from t
Rachel’s POV:Once I’m seated in the car my husband looks to me and asks, so how is she doing? She as good as can be expected considering. He nods and puts the car in gear and pull off to home. We arrive and once inside my thoughts consume me. Thinking of everything I suffered because of him. At fourteen he made me a woman before I was ready and at sixteen he made me a mother before I was ready and he would always appear at the oldest of times throughout my life up until he went to jail. Always letting me know to never date or entertain the opposite sex or he would get rid of them so I was always afraid to have a normal life. When it was my sixteenth birthday he somehow got into my room in the middle of the night and raped me again. I ended up pregnant and I was told not to abort the baby or he would kill me so you can understand my fear at the time. That man has haunted my dreams, life, and nightmares since I was fourteen and I never wanted that for my Jazzy bell. I only put her up
Jace’s POV:I’m looking at the mother my kids my future wife sleep and my heart begins to ache I won’t let history repeat itself no that won’t happen not again. If her so called biological father is some kind of threat to my family than I will take every precaution out there to Protect them by any means necessary. I place a call to Conner asking him to find a judge and draw up restraining orders for both my boys Jazz and myself. He agrees with no questions asked that’s my brother for you loyal beyond belief. I hang up and place a call to Johnny and ask him to arrange a meeting with a couple of the top security firms in the world and he give the affirmative and asks if everything is okay. I tell him everything and he offered any help possible. Of course we’ve all heard of the Italian mafia and the king, but it’s been understandably quite from them for oh I don’t know let’s say a good twenty something years. I know convenient right. I sigh strip down and climb into bed and wrap my arms
Jasmine’s POV:When I finally came to my parents we’re still there and I noted that Jace was also there looking worried. I slowly made a move to sit up Jace handed me a glass of water which I took and drank thankful for the cool beverage. As I look around I remember what caused me to pass out in the first place and begin to frown. Jace looks at me and asks what’s wrong with me so I tell him everything. I turn to my mother and ask her who my father was and why she just didn’t keep me? She looks hurt and says I’m so sorry Jazzy I was so young and to be raped by him didn’t help. I would have loved to keep you, but I couldn’t raise you on my own I had no income baby I’m so sorry please forgive me? Forgiveness is the furthest thing from my mind right now. Who’s my father? At that I literally see the color drain from her face and she proceeds to beg me not to make her tell me. She then tells me my life is better off not knowing who that evil man is. Please baby don’t make me tell you it’s f
Jasmine’s POV:I’m looking in on the boys when I begin to think, think about life being a mom and my mother and father and My foster parents and I wonder why they never adopted me they raised me from the time I was ten, but never took the time to adopt me. As I look at my boys and now the love I have for them is close to the love they have for me so why wouldn’t they just make it official? I’ve always wanted to know, but I never built up enough courage to ask I think I’m ready to ask the questions and except whatever the answers may be.Just as I come out of my thoughts Jai starts to cry for his feeding and Jay isn’t far behind so Jace comes into the room and grabs Jai while I take Jay and we both begin feeding and changing both boys and as we’re burping them they both fall back to sleep in our arms. We lay them side by side in the crib and slowly exit the nursery taking the other half of the monitor with us. We did the nursery’s in Winnie the Pooh and tiger them we just have them bot
