Annie's POVI don't know what time it is, or what century, all I know is that I feel like I've been at these plans for over a week. Yesterday we took out the last leader that we were aware of. The son he spoke of never came out of the framework. I know he's out there, I just hope we never meet him. I get a feeling that having been raised by that guy, he will be good at what he was trained to do.The men and I stayed up all night working out the kinks in my plan. The city had all these underground routes. Not all of them are up anymore, but the way I remember it, there was a lot of closings around fifteen years ago. I want to look into why those closed. The men want to take me to our bedroom, where I'm sure that Jenny is waiting to help us all get some sleep. I can't just give up on all of this. I know staying up all night isn't good for the baby, but I really think I need to get ahead on this.Jas takes my arm. "Annie, come to bed. We need to get a

Jas' POVI smile when my brother realizes the plan. We will go out and help Chef through his greif. The women can stay home. I look at Jenny as she enters the dining area. She rubs her belly and makes her way to the table. The woman loves to eat, so I love to watch her eat. I smile as she takes a little of everything. "You know this will have to last the whole day. Chef is on to something and we may just be gone the entire day. Chef made enough food for you guys for the whole time we will be gone."I look over the stuff that Chef is talking about. The way he is describing it, they could be hiding a whole lot of stuff in the old tunnels. Even if they closed em off, there would be things they didn't want the underlings knowing. I think going with Chef on this expedition is just the thing he needs to get through his grief. Hell, Annie must really be tired. Jenny has finished her food and so have the kids, yet Annie is nowhere to be seen. It's a l

Jenny's POVIt's been a long couple of hours, but finally, Jordan, Jas, and Chef are on their way home. They are worried, since they checked all the places, but only one said they saw Annie, and none since then. I know that Annie is one of the best survivors, but I was hoping she wouldn't have to worry about any of that ever again. I look at the wall, the one the kids and I painted today with some splatter art. The men won't care, we can always have it repainted, if we choose, but I needed to let out the anger. I just got my sister back and here she goes, running off into danger. She may just break, after knowing what good feels like, then being tossed to the wolves again...Damn, why'd she go off and do that? I am about to spin out again, when I hear the door open. The first thing I hear is, "You are fucking fired, pack all your bags and leave town. How the hell could you let my wife leave, our wife leave without warning us. Even in times of peace, which

Jordan's POVAs we are holding Annie, we realize almost at the same time that we have to get her home to Jenny. I look at Jas and smile. "We got her, bro, now we need to get her home. Our house doctor can meet us there." I look down at Annie as she huddles against Jas. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"She shakes her head no, but I can tell that she is hurt, maybe not physically, but she is hurt. Jas kisses her forehead as she starts to hum against his chest. "If you don't want to talk to us, you can just talk to Jenny when we get home. Okay?"She nods against his chest as he picks her up, carrying her to the car. We rush home with her still on his lap. Fuck seatbelts, we aren't putting her down on anything until we get home and the thing we are putting her down on is our bed. When we walk in the door, Jenny is already there, standing in wait for Annie. She follows us up the stairs to where the doctor is waiting for us. The way she is staring at he

Jenny's POVThis whole thing has been hard on all of us. The way Annie laid it all out for us, when we were least expecting it. None of us even got to clean up the pancake mess we made. I think about all that she's been through as I get up and head to the shower alone.The men are completely encasing her. The kids wanted to stay with us the night through. They were set to see her, and are now happily settled in the bed with us all. Yes, we had an early to bed and stay in bed kind of day.I plan to start this day off free of drama and try to keep it that way. I mean, just cause I'm married to the two mafia dons doesn't mean I can't go a day without drama, right? I sigh as I turn the water on in the shower, and get out of my clothes. I feel all sticky and I get a feeling we are going to have to wash the sheets and the blankets on the bed today.The water feels amazing on my skin as I step under it. I know today is going to be drama free, the whole thing. At least for me it will be. Lath
