Dominic
We had just finished breakfast when my Dad came in. “ Gampa”.
“ Hey buddy, Hey princess. Did you guys have breakfast already”.
They shook their heads yes. They can say all kinda shit they aren't supposed to but say the word no and yes they Couldn't.
“ Umm. Collin just called me. They had to Rush Rachel to the hospital at Four this morning “.
“ Is she okay?, what happened?”.
I saw the way his body shifted and I knew he was preparing to Give her bad News.
“ A Major Heart attack, I'm sorry sweetie.she didn't make it. Your dad called a few minutes ago to let us know “.
She sat down on the stool and was just quiet. “ mama”
“ Mama's okay baby. Thanks Dad”.
“ We'll visit your parents in a few hours. When we return we'll take the kids and you and Dominic Can go over. Collins May have despised his mother for all she did ,but she was still his mother and he loved her. Take care of him”.
“ I will Dad”.
After he left she just sat there. I took care of the kids the remainder of the morning. When my parents came to get them she was getting dressed. We headed over to her parents place. Mel and the others went too. They would help Angela prepare for her funeral.
I texted Sam to let him know what happened. I told him we didn't need him , I was just giving him a heads up. When we got over to her mother's place, Collins looked Like he had lost the only thing he had.
Angel,Tia and Allie took charge of everything. Her wake was at their old house, And not Many people showed up. After Her funeral,I noticed a change in Tia.
We were relaxing in the living room a few days after the funeral. When she decided that she didn't want to be burdened by running multiple companies. I didn't say anything about it but I knew she would figure it out.
We were by the pool , everyone was here and just relaxing.
“ Umm, Amy and “.
I looked at him. Amy rolled her eyes.
“ Sam and I are together”.
We just looked at them. “ Okay, Congratulations. Anyone else have something to say?”. I looked at them.
“ I'm putting A&C global and all its holdings up for grabs. I'm happy with the real estate business alone “.
“ I'm giving up The shipping company. I don't want it or need it. You can give the transportation company that your grandmother had to one of the girls.”
I looked at Collins. “ I'm Officially handing over Chase Enterprise to you boys “.
Bennett and I looked at Dad. “ What's going on right now?”.
“ Life is short, boys. We've got Four grandkids and we're hoping for more. Collins, Angela , your mother and I came to the conclusion that we enjoy having everyone here. Tia came here and she brought all of them. We feel like we have so many daughters and sons. So Collins and Angela will be selling their place and buying the one on the left. Your mother and I decided to buy the one to the right and open the entire place for everyone that is sitting here”.
“ Okay. Mel, Tatiana, Jess, Cassie and Leah . Make your Choices. Amy, you and Sam are together and he's staying here, so are you.”.
I looked at them ,they were quiet. Tatiana spoke up first. “ I don't want a business. I'm happy working with Tia at the real estate office. Well since I don't really have my own family everyone here has sort of Adopted me in some way so I'd like to stay”.
“ I'll Stay too , I just need to be sure the relationship I'm in is the one that I'll be in for the rest of my life. I don't want just anyone joining our family”.
“ Okay. Then we'll get started with the properties “. Bennett said, looking at everyone.
Later that evening, as we laid in bed ,she hugged me and said thank you. I knew she wanted them close to her . And dad was right, They all somehow became family. When they weren't here it felt lonely without them. By the end of the week , we had officially purchased the two lot's besides our place. They were bigger than ours.
Dad, Mom, Collins and Angela took over the plans for the house. There would be a total of ten houses spaced out between the three Lots. Everyone had Their own space and privacy. We decided to extend the pool by a couple of feet and add a Big sitting area in the middle of the entire compound,that way we could all be there.
Tia
It was a full construction site. One month after Marcus and Dad made Their announcement, Construction Started.
Bennett and Dominic would keep ruining the company together. Tatiana stayed with me at the real estate business. Mel was over at the shipping company. Cassie and Jess were over at A&C global . I gave the transportation company to Amy and Sam. Leah ended up working for Dominic and Bennett, so did Sam. I don't want to know what the job was .
All of my closest friends who were like sisters to me , were set for life. My parents were closer and everyone was happy that was all I wanted. I had just got out of my car when I saw Allie walking towards me.
There was a walkway to each house.
“ Hey what's up?”.
“ I think I May be pregnant”. I slapped my hand to my head.
“ What?”.
” I've been so busy with everything. It completely went over my head. I missed my period. Shit. Should we check?”.
“ Let's go. Mom has the kids Bennett and Dominic aren't home yet”.
“ Okay “.
We went in and I used the washroom in our room,she used the One opposite ours. I stared at the Pregnancy test sitting on the counter. When I saw the second line forming. Fuck. I walked out and she was standing in the hallway looking at me.
“ Shit. I'm pregnant and I'm up for a promotion “.
“ Oh no. The first time was twins. I can't handle two more at once Allie ”.
“ You're pregnant too?”.
“ Yes. Damnit , we can't hide this . I can't hide this, I'll start throwing up as soon as I hit one month”.
“ We'll tell them. Thankfully it happened now and not before. Tia be careful please”.
“ You too”.
After Allie left , I grabbed a shower and made dinner. I went back to the main house and got the kids. I had just gotten them into their chairs for dinner when he came in.
“ Dada “.
“ Dada”.
He dropped everything and came to the kitchen kissing them. “ Looks like I made it home on time “. He kissed me. Then leaned down and kissed Mia because he knew she would ask. She started laughing. After he showered we sat and had dinner.
I have no idea what Mia and Gideon were saying to him. It all sounded like gibberish to me but Dominic listened and nodded and replied with ’ Really ‘, 'Wow’. It seems like they were telling them about their day. Mia waited until Gideon finished,then When she stopped Gideon would start again.
Dominic
I have no idea what they were saying but ,not playing along was wrong. I could see she looked confused,but it was worth it seeing my kids smile. We were relaxing playing with the kid after dinner. She was quiet. I nudged her. “ What's wrong?”.
“ I'm Pregnant”.
I smiled. I leaned into her and kissed her.
“ Wasn't that what you wanted?”.
“ Yes . I'm hoping it's one and not two . If it's two then this is it. No more Dominic I'm serious”.
“ I'll make a deal with you. If you have two more,one each like these two. Then we'll have another one. But if it's two and both are boys or Both are girls then four is enough “.
“ that's not possible and you know it”.
“ I know,but When you're pregnant, you're too fucking hot and I like seeing you like that “. I whispered to her. She nudged me and I looked at what she was looking at. The Two of them were sitting quietly looking at us whispering. Shit.
“ Okay then we have a deal. Come on lovies bath time and then bedtime. Mommy will read you a story “.
I grabbed Gideon and he grabbed Mia and we headed up. I was hoping and I would pray it was two boys or Two girls.
