Chapter 171: Like I said long story

River POV

"Then we have more then a dozen men and women down stairs taking statements from everyone here. The mayor and the chief then have some work to do to get the department cleaned up before we start our lawsuit for harassment and unlawful detainment. Not to mention all the emotion distress lawsuits that will be filed on behalf of every person who's here" Lincoln says with a smile and a laugh.

"Wow you're amazing" I say kissing his cheek.

"Your soul sister's in the car worried" he says with a wink.

"Okay I'm going to change in Lucky's room then I'll meet you both down there"

As I'm walking down the stairs I hear Ted arguing with someone "Where my daughter in law spends her time or who she spends it with isn't yours or anyone else's business. Stay away from my family and stay away from this place and the wonderful people here. I'll be filing my report with the state first thing. Now have a great night" Ted says.

"River my dear" he says when he hears me behind him. He quickly hugs me and kisses my cheek "Chailor and Victoria are outside in my car if you would like to join them and me and the boys will be out there soon" I smile and nod at him.

Brain POV

"Hey brother" I say as Lucky reaches down and hugs me.

"Who is this little girl" I say as I tickle her feet.

She looks at me weird for a min then at Lucky "You have a chair with wheels?" She asks me excitedly.

"Yes ma'am. Do you want a ride?" She shakes her head fast.

Lucky laughs "This is your uncle Ryder but we call him Brain because he's so smart"

She giggles at my name "Mommy and Daddy call me bunny" she says shyly.

"Is this your mommy?" I ask her pointing to the younger girl behind them.

She shakes her head "No I have a new mommy now. That's my old mommy Abby. My new mommy has another name hers name is mommy River and she loves me"

"What?" I say looking at Lucky.

"Long story and it's been a long night brother"

"Yeah of course, Lucky you know what room is yours. I got a small cot for this tater tot put in there too. Abby you'll just be down this path at my dad's girlfriend's place"

"That's okay I can just stay in the same room with Lucky we can share a bed"

Lucky laughs loudly "No the fuck we can't! Abby we've been over this. Nothing will ever happen between us okay"

"Only because of that dumb bitch your fucking if it wasn't for her..."

He puts his hand up to her face and whispers to the little girl. She lights up and runs to the room.

I watch him smile at her till the door closes then he's face completely changes "Abby for the last fucking time, I'm not yours and I will never be yours. That hasn't changed and will never change." He gets in her face "If you ever call her a bitch again it won't end well for you. Do you understand me Abby" she turns her head and he grabs he chin and moves it back to his face "Do. You. Understand. Me" he says angrily.

"Fine what ever. Fuck who you want and I will to! So what's your name again" she says running a finger up my arm.

I lift her hand away from me "Oh sweetie my girl will hurt you just for looking at me"

She scoffs "I don't see a girlfriend around right now" she says in a seductive voice.

Lucky laughs hysterically "You think what River did to you earlier was bad" he laughs so hard tears are coming down his face "Abby darling his girlfriend is Flame"  she quickly jumps away from me and looks around fast.

"Good I see you know her.  That's great so now that we all have our hands to our self let's get you down to Maria's place. Just a friendly warning she's the meanest lady I've ever met and that's including the love of my life" she nods her head.

"Abby behave your self" Lucky says she we head to the door.

"Yes daddy" she says in a flirty voice.

He's head quickly turns back to her "Sorry! Yes Lucky I will" she corrects her self. L

I point ahead as I raise my eyebrows to my brother. "This girls going to be a hand full. Maria going to have a fun time getting her in check." He laughs at me when I say that.

"I'm going to check on Annie and get her some food. We'll talk after.  Thank you Brain. Oh did you get ahold of Lincoln?"

I smile at him "Yes of course and it sounds like you left just in time. Pickle sent me a message and said all is well and just worry about the package. Which I'm assuming is my niece Annie?" He nods "Like I said long story"

"Your with River now too or is the bitch she's referring to a different one?"

"Like I said brother it's a long story" I nod and head out to my pops to introduce this crazy girl who's probably going to get smacked with a shoe if she hits on pops in front of Maria. Might be fun to watch, I'll enjoy it especially since she called my sister a bitch. I laugh to myself pictureing it.

On the way back to the house I take a quick picture of the sunset and send it to Flame with a message that says "I love and miss you my sweet Fiammetta"

As I'm coming up the ramp I hear little giggles, I look through the window and see her laying across Lucky's chest tickling his sides as he's pretending he can't fight her off. I take a picture and a video really quick, I'll send this encrypted to River's email later.

Me-  I know right now is hard but I wanted you to know I wished for you on every birthday and every shooting star since I was 12 years old. I love you River. Please just know I'm sorry and I never wanted to hurt you. I was just scared you would be disappointed in me.

River- Ryder I love you of course I do your my big brother, my protector, my best friend since the day I was born. You could never disappoint me and I would never blame you for what happened after that night. I am however disappointed that you didn't let me make my own decision on how to feel. You just decide that I was better off not knowing your alive and then causing issues between the people that we both love. I know your hurting right now Brain but I need time of my own now to sort how I want to handle what you've handed me.

Me- I understand River and I'm truly sorry.
