The Long Run

Chapter 7

Sophia's POV

When I woke up my head was pounding and I was in a huge bed. I groaned and rolled over and when my bare feet hit the floor I realized I was only in a t shirt and my panties. I growled and stomped out the door and down to Lance's office. I shoved the door open causing it to hit the opposite wall. Everyone's head snapped up to me and they gulped. Taz stood up and I rared back punching him in the jaw.

"If you ever do that to me again you won't have a life to f*****g live" I roar

I walk over to Lance and rare back punching him in the jaw.

"Soph" Greg says

"Don't you f*****g start with me. What the hell is your problem? You drugged me. Excuse me you had me drugged to knock me out. What the hell is that about?" I scream

"Soph" Lance starts

"Don't. I can't even look at you. I'm so done. I'm done with this all. I'm moving once again to start a life with out any of you in my life. Stay out of my way and stay away from me or I will end you like I did that poor pathetic guy last night in the club" I snap 

I turn my back to the them and I go and get dressed. Once I was done I walked down to find my dad there with Uncle J.

"Did you know that your precious son is just as bad as your one that cheats on me?" I ask Uncle J

"What happened?" He asks

"That bastard had me drugged" I snap

"He did what?" Aunt Alice screams

"All because I went to a club and was drinking and dancing. I was enjoying myself minding my own business. He is the one that said he didn't think this would work because i'm to dominant and I speak my mind. I left and Taz showed up and I thought he was looking out for me cause this guy was after me but I killed him. Well he was there spying telling Lance what I was doing well Lance had the fucker drug me and bring me here. My head is pounding and my body aches now" I say rubbing my temples

"Lance get your ass out here now" Aunt Alice yells

"Yeah mom" He says walking in

"Wanna explain to your mother why you had your girlfriend drugged?" She asks

His eyes go wide and he gulps and looks to me for help. I turn my back to him and let him deal with her.

"Mom I did it for a reason" Lance says

"And?" Alice says

"There were people after her" He says

"Which she killed" Alice says 

"I knew she wouldn't come back on her own so I had her drugged" Lance says

"That is no excuse. Apologize right this instant" Alice yells at him

"Soph" Lance says

I ignore him and I sniffle. I see everyone walk out and I feel Lance touch my shoulder and I flinch. Tears stream down my face and when he walks in front of me he gasps and pulls me into his chest and I start sobbing. 

"Oh baby. I'm so sorry." He says putting my face in his giant hands

He wipes my tears away that keep pouring down my face and I close my eyes and lean into his touch. 

"Why?" I whisper

"I knew you would never come back willingly and I had to say I was sorry and I needed to talk to you." He says

I sigh and he lifts me in his arms and carries me to his room and kicks the door closed. He sits me on the bed and goes into the bathroom and comes back with some pills and a glass of water.

"They are for your head I promise" He tells me

I nod and take them and sit the glass down. 

"ugh I hurt" I mumble to myself

"Baby I'm sorry. I want this to work but you can't keep under minding what I say." He tells me

"I'm sorry" I say as the tears start again

"Baby I get it. You have never been submissive. But I'm the boss and yes I don't mind talking things through with you but my answer is the final one. If this is going to work your gonna have to back off a little" He tells me 

I wipe my face off and look down at my hands. he lifts my chin and I look at him and sniffle and he leans forward to kiss me but he pausing waiting for me. I push myself forward and connect our lips. He sighs and kisses me back forcefully. I pull back and rub my temples and I hear him sigh. He pulls back the covers and then pushes me to lay down and pulls off my shoes and socks and then my pants. I sit up and raise my arms and he smirks and removes my shirt and pulls his shirt over my head. I lay back and he stands up and strips down to his boxers and crawls in bed with me. He lays down and I scoot over laying my head on his chest and closing my eyes.

"Rest now baby" He whispers kissing my forehead

Before I knew it I was fast asleep.

Lance's POV

I waited til she was asleep and I slipped out of bed and got dressed and walked down stairs. Everyone was sitting around talking and got quiet when I walked in.

"She ok?" Hunter asks

"Yeah she is. Taz I would expect a ass whooping coming your way for listening to me" I tell him

He gulps and I see the fear in his eyes.

"Yeah you have every right to be scared. But just remember she likes you so use the puppy eyes and you wont have a black eye" Greg tells him

"Oh come on. Why do I get hurt? I only listened to my boss. This is f****d up. That woman scares the s**t out of me. I never want a relationship if I have to deal with that" Taz says

Before I could speak Taz was on the ground twitching. We look over to see Sophia had shot him with the taser. She let go and it dropped to the ground. She walks over and straddles him and grabs a hold of his jaw.

"If you ever listen to him again when it comes to me you will get worse then a shock. Your family will be attending your funeral while I throw a party. Am I clear?" She yells in his face

He whimpers but nods and she lets go of him and stands up and comes over slapping me.

"And that's for telling him to drug me and leaving me alone up there" She snaps

I chuckle and pull her into my chest and she relaxes and latches onto my shirt.

"Wanna go to the range?" Greg asks

Sophia perks up and nods quickly. He chuckles and stands up and she runs over jumping on his back.

"Onward" She yells

I reach our smacking her ass and she turns and glares at me.

"What?" I ask shrugging

"for the love of god get the poor guy off the floor. I think I broke him" She says smiling

I chuckle and shake my head at her and pull Taz up who groans. Greg walks out with a smiling Sophia and we soon follow her. When we get to the range Sophia pulled out a lot. The dummies were far away and we didn't expect her to actually shoot any of them or even hit them. She takes her stance and relaxes her shoulders and fires and it hits the dummy dead center of the forehead. My jaw dropped and she picks up knives and starts throwing them hitting every spot she needs to. By time she was done she was jumping up and down.

"Alright combat time." Sophia says walking towards the gym

She runs in the locker room and comes out wearing short spandex shorts and a sports bra and I groan. She walks over to the tread mill and jumps on and starts off fast. By time she got off she had barely broke a sweat. She moved over to the weights and started lifting. She done squats and then sit ups and crunches and when she stood up and stretched I walked behind her smacking her ass. She spins and before I know it i'm on my back with wide eyes. She was panting and staring down at me.

"Don't do that when i'm in my own bubble. You could lose a limb or two" She snaps

I chuckle and pull her down kissing her hard. I pull back and I look at her and wink.

"Go shower and come down and let's have lunch" I tell her

She nods and stands up and skips out the door humming. I shake my head and make my way to the dining room. I take my seat and watch everyone else come in and take a seat. I hear giggling and some house whores walk in and one walks over to me and I know this won't end well.

"Allison don't do that. His lady will kill you" I hear one of my men say

"She can't do anything to me" She says sitting in my lap

I push her away but she doesn't take the hint and sits back down. Before I can go off I see Sophia pinning the b***h to the floor.

"If you come near him again I will remove the silicon from your fake boobs" Sophia says pushing a knife into her boob

I chuckle and everyone looks at me and I nod at Sophia. She stands and Allison stands and swings at Sophia and Sophia turns and does a round house kick and lands it to the girls face. She falls over crying and Sophia takes her seat like nothing happened.

"Well are we gonna eat or just sit here" She says

I nod and everyone takes their seat and we begin eating.

"Soph" Taz says easily

She laughs and stands and walk over sitting on his knee.

"Oh come on you big teddy bear. I forgave you after I tasered your ass" She say opening her arms

He chuckles and hugs her back. She gets up taking her seat again and Taz smiles.

"Hey" I snap

"Dude chill. She has the wrong equipment between her legs" Taz says proudly

Sophia chokes on her drink and dies laughing. 

"That was priceless. Oh I like you even more. Does that mean you will go shopping with me?" Sophia says leaning forward on her elbows

Taz groans and Sophia pulls the puppy dog eyes and he caves and she squeals.

"It's so easy to please you" One man says

"Of course it is. I like to shop but I shop for everyone. I have my own money I don't spend Lance's even though he tries to get me to. I make my own way. I don't need a man. Will wait I can think of two reason why I need one. I'm sure you know the first but I'm short as f**k and can't reach the top shelves. Don't get me started on how many times I get yelled out for climbing on he counted to get in the cabinets." Soph says shrugging

"Hey you could fall and break your neck" Hunter says

"Come on it's not like I don't have great balance. Ballet helped with my balance and so did pole dancing. And no i have never been a stripper. It's a good workout" She says smiling

"Wait you pole dance?" A girl asks

"Yeah. It's great for balance and your muscles." Sohpia says

"Can you teach us?" The girls ask shyly

"Sure. Greg can you set one up for us?" Sophia asks

"Sure love." He says

"And ladies don't w***e around. It's not lady like and besides the guys aren't that bad. I know Calvin over there has been dying to ask you out Leslie" I say smirking

"Sophia" Calvin snaps

She stands up and walks over to him and he gulps.

"What was that?" She asks

"N-nothing." He stutters

She giggles and pushes him playfully and he forces a smile small.

"Come on and smile just cause your in the mafia doesn't mean you have to drop your emotions when we are home. We are one big happy dysfunctional family. I'm not going to kill you for smiling. Emotions are what make us human. Look at Lance when he's with me or his family. He's the boss so if he can crack a honest smile so can you" She says smiling

Calvin grins and she pinches his cheeks and comes back to her seat picking up her drink.

"Don't go changing my men baby." I tell her

"What she said was true tho" Taz says smiling and winking at her

"Oh come on now your going to side with her" I say

"Of course. I've learned from my momma that women are always right even when they are young. Just say yes dear and go along for the ride" Taz says smiling

"Your mom sounds great" Soph says

"She is. She's the reason I'm such a gentlemen" He says winking

"Can I meet her?" Sophia asks

"Of course. We can go after we finish lunch. She loves meeting new people and she will love you. Oh and don't bring up my father." Taz tells her

She nods and finishes off her wine.

"hey you weren't suppose to have that yet" Greg says

"Actually I can. I was drinking the other night when I was drugged" She says shooting her eyes to me

"I'm sorry" I say

She rolls her eyes and stands up taking the dishes to the kitchen. We walk in to find her washing the dishes dancing and singing. Everyone gets to work on helping clean up everything and my jaw drops on how everyone pitches in to help her.

"You can clean and you made me hire a maid" I snap

"Hey you never leave the lady to clean up after you" Willy says

After everything was done Sophia went to get ready and when she came back Taz threw her over his shoulder and carried her to his truck.

"Be careful" I shout

"Love you" She yells 

"Yeah yeah" I say and turn to walk back inside

I feel her jump on my back and I grin. She kisses my cheek and looks at me.

"I love you" I say kissing her

She jumps down and runs back to the truck and jumps in,

Sophia's POV

Tax drove us to his moms and when he got out he opened my door and lead me inside.

"Momma" He calls 

"Hi baby" A woman says walking in hugging him

"How are you?" He asks her

"I'm good baby. Who is this little lady" She asks

"I'm Sophia. This dummy got saddled as my guard and I wanted to meet the woman who hasn't taken his life yet" I say smiling

"Ooh I like you already. Baby go get us drinks" She tells Taz

"Sure momma" He says kissing her forehead

"Sorry I'm Emma" She says leading me to the back yard

"It's nice to meet you. So how did you end up the mother of that thing" I say 

"Well believe it or not he was my miracle baby. I wasn't suppose to be able to get pregnant and I ended up with that thing" Emma tells me

"I hear that mom" Taz says sitting down the drinks

"Thank you baby. And you know I love you" She tells him

"Of course momma" He says smiling

I grab my drink and lean back throwing my feet up in Taz's lap. 

"So your in the mafia?" Emma asks

"I'm the black widow" I tell her

Her eyes grow wide and she chokes on her drink.

"Well it is a honor to meet a fellow assassin" She says

"Yeah Lance is my boyfriend. And he saddled me with this dummy. And no disrespect but I think his manners went out the window" I say 

I see him tense and shake his head.

"What did he do?" She asks

"Well he listened to his dumbass boss and drugged me" I tell her

"You did what?" She shouts

"Momma come on. I was told to do it. I can't go against his order" He tells her

"Well next time get your facts straight. Did he tell you why I was on pain meds?" I ask him

"No" Taz says

"Of course not. I'm on those meds and meds for depression because I miscarried last week. Drugging me with those meds can cause me to seizure or die" I tell him

He looked down placing his head in his hands. I look at Emma and I see the tears in her eyes.

"Please don't cry. It wasn't meant for me to be a mom right now. I'm ok with it." I tell her

I hear a sniffle and look over to see Taz's shoulders shake. 

"Taz sweetheart" I say standing up and kneeling in front of him

I move his hands and see his tea streaked face.

"Oh love don't cry. It's ok and I'm fine." I tell him sliding into his lap and snuggling into him

He wraps his arms around me and holds on tight.

"I'm sorry" He whispers

"Oh sweetie it's ok. I know how Lance can be." I tell him kissing his cheek

I look over to his mom to see her smiling.

"What?" I ask

"I've never seen him like that. He is really attached to you." She says

"Well I just bring out the best in people. We clicked right away. I found a new best friend" I tell her

Just then my phone starts ringing and I groan and I reach over grabbing it. 

"Hello" I mumble

After five minutes I hang up and I look at Emma and then Taz.

"Already buddy time to go. Lance is have a fit cause we been gone so long. I swear he should just put a tracker on me so he knows where I am at all times" I groan

"Don't give him any ideas" Taz says

"Shut up. Emma it was lovely meeting you" I tell her

"You to sweetie. Come by anytime. I'm always here" She says and gives me her number

"I most definitely will. It sucks being the only girl there" I tell her

She laughs and hugs me again and Taz drives us back to the mansion. I don't know when but I fell asleep and I felt myself being carried. I peeked my eyes open to see Taz carrying me.

"Sleep" He tells me

I nod and snuggle back into him and sigh.

"What happened?" Lance yells

"Nothing. She fell asleep on the way back. I don't think she's been sleeping good lately. And why the f**k would you have me drug her with her on those meds knowing it could hurt her?" Taz snaps

"That's none of your concern" Lance says

"It is my concern when I'm her guard and I put her in harms way because of you" He snaps at Lance

"Tax it's fine. I'm ok. Can you take me to lay down?" I ask

He nods and walks me to the couch and lays me down and covers me up. He pushes my hair outta my face and walks off. It felt like as soon as I dosed off I heard yelling. I growl and throw the covers off and I walk to Lance's off to see him punch Taz.

"What the hell is your problem?" I scram and run over to Taz

"Hey i'm ok. It's ok go lay back down" Taz says looking down at me

I growl and grip his face and look it over and I drop his chin and rub my temples.

"What the hell was that?" I say turning to Lance

"Nothing" Lance says not looking at me

"I'm not dealing with this. I'm leaving and don't follow me" I tell him

I stomp out and grab my keys and phone and I just drive. I don't know when I started crying but I found myself at Taz's moms. I get out and walk to the door knocking. When she opened the door she opened her arms for me and I rushed into them crying. She lead me to the couch and sat down and cuddled me into her side.

"What happened sweetheart?" She asks

"We got home and Taz went off on Lance for having him drug me considering the issues. Well Lance said it was none of Taz's business well he didn't like that and said it was his business cause he was my guard and I was put in harms way cause of him. Well I dosed off on the couch and woke up to shouting and walked in on Lance punching Taz in the face. And i ended up here" I mumble

"Oh baby. It's gonna be ok. Let's get you into a bed. You need some good rest" She tells me

"I don't wanna intrude" I tell her sitting up

"Baby you aren't intruding. It's only me here. I would like the company" She tells me

I look at her and she nods and so I nod and she leads me to a room and gets me some of Taz's clothes and I change and crawl in bed. 

Taz's POV

I growled and stomped out the door and took off to find Sophia. I had driven around for hours and decided to go to my moms to find Sophia's car outside. I sigh and get out and go in. My mom was in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee and I walk over kissing the top of her head. 

"She's upstairs in the guest room sleeping." She tells me

"She scared the hell outta me. Is she ok?" I ask 

"She's stressed and needs to relax and she needs to get some sleep" She tells me

"I'm gonna go check on her" I tell her

She nods and I walk upstairs and push open the guest bedroom door to find her sound asleep. I walk over sitting in the seat by the window and I just watch her sleep or I look out the window.

"Hey" I hear

I turn to see her looking at me. I sigh and walk over sitting on the edge of the bed. I run my fingers through her hair and she hums and closes her eyes.

"You ok?" I ask her

"Sleepy" She says yawning

I go to stand and she grabs my arm.

"What" I ask

"Stay" She whispers looking at me

I nod and pull off my shoes and slide under the covers and she slides over laying her head on my chest and closing her eyes. I run my fingers through her hair and I feel her whole body relax and I know she's asleep. I close my eyes and fall asleep myself. When I wake up the next morning I was alone. I get up and walk down stairs to see Sophia dancing in my t shirt cooking.

"Well good morning" I say

She turns around and smiles and mom comes walking and and smiles at Soph.

"Where are the shorts I gave you?" Mom asks her

"Have you seen him and me. Those things were way to big." She says shrugging and going back to cooking

I shrug at mom and take a seat and Soph places all the food on the table.

"You didn't have to do this" Mom tells her

"Yes I did." Sophia says

"So I arranged for you to go home for a week" I tell her

"What?" She asks

"Come on Soph. I'll go with you. You need to see your family and friends" I tell her

"Fine. But if anything goes wrong i'm blaming you" She tells me

"Fine. I'll even get in the ring with you" I tell her

Her eyes light up and I chuckle at her.

"Emma would you like to come with us?" Soph asks her

"Oh sweetie I don't wanna intrude" She says

"Oh come on mom. You haven't been on a vacation in years. Besides Texas is amazing" I tell her

"Are you sure?" mom asks

"Of course. I'll even show you my most favorite thing in the world to do" Sophia tells her

"Well alright. I'll go pack and clean up here. You two go get things ready and I'll meet you at he airport" She tells us

"No need. We can take my private jet" Sophia says standing

"um alright" Mom says and I smirk

"Alright mister shoes. I'm going home like this. I need a shower. I feel icky" She tells me

"Alright. I'll be right back" I say running to put my shoes on

Sophia's POV

I grab my keys and phone and hop in my car and I drive back to the mansion with Taz following me. I walk inside to see everyone sitting in the living room talking.

"Morning boys" I say smiling

"Sophia." They all say

"Alright gotta go pack. Do not destroy this place while i'm gone" I tell them

They nod and I turn to see Lance, Greg and Hunter looking at me.

"Good morning my loves" I say kissing their cheeks

"And where are you going?" Greg asks

"Actually we are going home for a week. I wanna see dad and sleep in my bed" I say going in the room to pack

"And where were you last night" Lance asks

"Oh Taz's moms." I tell him shrugging

"And the attire?" He says pointing to the shirt

"Taz's. I didn't have anything to sleep in and Emma gave it to me" I say shrugging not looking at him

He slams the door and locks it and comes over pulling the shirt off of me and pushes me on the bed. 

"Your not aloud to wear another man's clothes" He growls and kisses me hard

I kiss him back just as hard and  he sits up pulling off his shirt and laying back down on top of me. He runs his hand down my side and over my hip. I moan when he kisses my sweet spot and I use my feet to push his shorts and boxers down. He pushes my panties to the side and sinks into my slowly. I hiss and he stops and looks at me.

"Are you ok?" He asks

"I'm fine. It's a little tender but the doctor said that is going to be normal for a while." I tell him

He nods and slowly starts thrusting in and out of me. I moan and sink my nails into his back. He growls and thrust a little harder and I whimper and pull away and he stops and looks at  me.

"I'm sorry baby. Are you ok?" HE asks

"Gentle" I tell him

He nods and slowly sinks back into me. I moan and bite into his neck probably leaving a visible hickey but I don't care. After a few more minutes I finally find my release and he does as well. He lays on me panting and I feel him kiss the side of my neck and I smile. 

"I love you" He whispers

"I love you too." I say kissing him

"Alright come on. We have some packing to do" He says sitting up

When I sit up I hiss and snap my legs closed.

"Are you ok?" He asks worried

"It hurts" I whimper

"Alright i'll get your meds sit still" He tells me

He comes back with a pill and some water and I down it. I slide off the bed and I slip on some comfy clothes and I finish packing for me and Lance. I lay back down on the bed and sigh and Lance takes our bags down and comes back scooping me up and carrying me downstairs. I lay my head on his shoulder and Hunter walks over to me and offers me my stuffed frog. I smile and take it and every awes. I glare and they shut up and go on about their business. 

Lance walks me out and places me in the limo and everyone files in afterwards. When we make it to the air strip I see Emma waiting. 

"Emma" I call 

"It's about time." She says laughing

"Sorry. Had to take care of a few things." I tell her winking

"And you must be Lance" Emma says

"Yeah that would be me" He tells her

"Let me warn you if I see another bruise on my baby's face or if the young one comes to me crying I will remove all of your fingers with pliers while smiling" Emma tells him

"What the hell?" Greg says

"Oh sweetie. I was the wife of the mafia boss. As well as a assassin. I don't make threats. I make promises. So try me" Emma says

The boys gulp and I die laughing. Everyone looks at me and I can't stop laughing.

"Finally they are afraid of someone else." I say walking onto the plane

I take my seat and Lance sits by my and Emma and Taz sit across from us.  I sigh and sit back and close my eyes. Those meds make me so sleepy. 

"You ok?" Lance asks

"Yeah just sleepy" I tell him

He nods and pulls me over so I can lay my head in his lap. He ran his fingers through my hair and that's when my eyes closed slowly. 

Skip the flight

"Baby" I hear someone say

"hmm" I hum

"Wake up we are landing" Lance says

I groan and sit up opening my eyes. I buckle my seat belt and wait for us to land. When we land we walk off the plane and I see Tom with the limo. I smile and run over wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Hi kitten. How's my girl?" He asks

"I'm ok papa." I mumble

"Well let's get you home" He says opening the car door for me

I slide in and everyone follows sliding in the car. Tom drives us to my dad's mansion and when we pull into the big gate and park i'm out the door before Tom can get out. I run in the front door and look around.

"Daddy" I call

"Hi baby" He says walking over

I smile and wrap my arms around him and sigh closing my eyes.

"I missed you" I mumble

"You just seen me a few days ago" He chuckles out

"So" I whine

He smiles and kisses the top of my head. 

"I'm gonna go change" I tell him running to my room

It was hot in Texas so I slipped on some cut off shorts and a tank top with my plaid over shirt and slipped on my boots. I did my hair and make up and walked down stairs.

"Oh Hello" My dad says to Emma

"Dad this is Emma. She is Taz's mom" I say

"How did you birth that thing" Dad asks

I look at Emma and we die laughing. I look to dad and he grins.

"Out in the pin. And also there is a rodeo this weekend" He tells me

"Yes" I scream

"What? What happened?" Lance says running in

"There is a rodeo this weekend" I say smiling

"Damn it don't do that" He says sighing

"Oh shut up. We both know I can take you down without breaking a sweat. I don't need you protecting me" I snap and walk out the door

I walk to the pin and I hear everyone follow me. I see a brown horse running around and I jump over the fence. 

"Alright you don't be a ass today" I snap at him

He stops running and looks at me and I smile and walk over petting him.

"Be a good boy" I whisper

I grab his mane and pull myself onto him bareback and he flinches but doesn't move. I give him a kick and he starts trotting and I smile and slide off of him and walk out closing the gate and walking out into the big field. I feel everyone watching me. I hear footsteps behind me and I whirl around to see Grey run past me. I laugh and run after him. When he stops he turns and looks at me and bumps his nose up against me. I reach out running my fingers over his nose and he grunts. I walk around and grab his mane and pull myself up on him. He starts walking back towards everyone and I lean forward laying on him. Soon enough he stops and I feel someone touch my leg and I open my eyes to see Lance staring at me. I grin at him and he smiles and pushes my hair out of my face.

"Hey b***h" I hear

I grin and slide off Grey and take off running to Milly.

"Hi hoe. Where are my babies?" I ask her

"Auntie Soph" I hear

I smile and kneel down just in time for them to crash into my chest. I hugged them tight and I pulled back looking at them.

"When did my babies grow up so much?" I ask them

"Well we haven't seen you in forever" Sophie says

"I know. I'm sorry. I've been busy but I'm here all week. And then we get to have a slumber party. And daddy and bubba and Uncle Lance are gonna have a guys night. You, me and mommy are gonna go get our nails done and then go get some much junk food that it will make us sick and we are gonna pile up in my bed and watch movies all night" I tell her

"Really?" She squeals

I laugh and pick them both up.

"How's my handsome man doing?" I ask my little man

"I'm good. Daddy took me hunting" He tells me

"Really? That's good. You know Aunt Soph likes hunting to" I tell him

"Can we go?" He asks

"Sure bud. We will go one morning. But for now why don't you two run in the house and ask Tom for a snack" I tell them

They nod and run in he house screaming.

"How you doing short stack?" Buck asks

"I'm ok. Why don't run home and get the kids good clothes and we will all go out to dinner tonight. I feel the need to get glam" I say looking at Milly

"Let's do it" Casey says

I turn to see her and smile walking over to her. She wraps her arms around me and I sigh.

"I missed you" I mumble into her neck

"You have no idea babe" She says squeezing me more

"Well what about me?" Cody whines

I pull back and smile.

"Cody a pleasure as always" I say pecking his lips

He grins and wraps his arms around me and lifts me up hugging me. He sits me back down on my feet and he twirls me and groans.

"Still beautiful" He mumbles

"Of course. I still work out and we all know Lance keeps me well worked out" I say winking at Casey

She giggles and Cody glares at Lance.

"Have you talked to Luke?" Cody asks

"No. Not since I kicked him out and I don't plan to" I say shrugging

"Good. He's been a d**k" Cody says

I nod and link my arm with Casey's and I notice they didn't have the baby.

"Where is Joshua?" I ask

"He's with Cody's parents tonight and my mom will have him tomorrow night." She says 

"So your going to the rodeo with me?" I ask her

"Duh. Now let's go get that dress" She says and drags me in the house

Skip getting ready

After getting ready I walked down stairs and into the living room where everyone was.

"Ready?" I ask

Everyone nods and Lance stands and offers me his arm and Rylan comes over pushing Lance off me. 

"Mine" Rylan growls

I smirk and take his hand and we walk to the car.

"Did that really just happen?" Lance mumbles

"Dude you just got cockblocked by a toddler" Cody tells him

Lance groans but doesn't say anything. We all pile into the limo and of course Rylan and Sophie have to be put in car seats so I strap them in and Lance sits on one side of me and places his hand on my exposed leg and Rylan glares at him.

"Hey buddy it's ok. You gotta share Aunt Sophie with Uncle Lance" I tell him

"No mine" He screams

I look at Milly wide eyed who shrugs. 

"Rylan buddy what's wrong" I ask him

"Don't leave" He cries

I unstrap him and pull him in to my lap and rock him back and forth.

"It's ok baby. I'm not going anywhere" I tell him

Soon enough his crying turned to sniffles and he clung to me. We pulled up to the restaurant and Cody took Rylan and Milly got Sophie and we all walked inside. Lance pulled my chair out and I took my seat. I ordered a bottle of white wine and we all enjoyed talking and just being around each other. 

"Sophia" I hear

I turn to see Luke's dad and I stand up.

"Mr. Richards. How good to see you" I say hugging him

"And how are you sweetie?" He asks

"I'm great. Loving my new home. I'm visiting here now. I'm missed my godbabies" I tell him smiling

"Sophia" I hear

I look over and see Luke. 

"Luke" I say nodding at him

"Baby come back and eat the food is here" Lance says

"Of course. Well it was nice seeing you" I tell Mr. Richards

"You to sweetie. Keep in contact yeah" He says

"Of course" I tell him and he nods and walks away

I sit down and start eating my food once everyone was finished I paid and stood up. I started walking when I'm bumped into and I look up to see Jax.

"Sophia" He says

"Jax" I say nodding at him

"How are you and the baby?" He asks looking at me 

"I'm great and I lost the baby" I tell him

"I'm sorry to hear that" He says

"Yeah you would wouldn't you. Guess you dodged a bullet there" I tell him

"What?" He asks shocked

"Oh the baby was yours but I lost it. Some things went wrong so don't worry you won't have to step up and be responsible" I tell him

Lance wrapped a arm around my waist and kissed my temple.

"Come on baby. Everyone is waiting on us" He tells me

"Alright" I say and nod at Jax 

I walk away and we get into the car and I groan. When we make it back to the house Lance takes me upstairs and I he lays me on the bed and removes my shoes. He makes me stand and removes my dress and bra and pulls his t shirt over my head and then puts me back in bed and I sigh. He goes to leave and my arm shoots out and he turns around to face me.

"Can you send Taz up for a minute?" I ask him

He nods and kisses my forehead and walks out and a minute later Taz walks in. He comes over and slides in the other side of the bed and lays down and I lay my head on his chest and he runs his fingers through my hair and minutes later I was out like a light. 

Lance's POV

After telling Taz that Soph wanted him I take a seat with everyone else. As I look around I notice Rylan is sleeping on Milly but Sophie is still awake. She leans up and gets her sippy cup and her blanket and stands up and waddles over to me.

"Lancey can I sit with you" She mumbles

I chuckle and lift her up in my lap and I wrap the blanket around her. She lays her head on my chest and I run my fingers through her hair and minutes later she was out. When I look up Taz comes walking in and sits by his mom.

"She ok?" Emma asks

"Yeah she's fine. She wanted to ask me something and I sat there with her til she fell asleep. She had a long busy day. She's exhausted. I bet she sleeps in tomorrow" Taz says

"No she won't. She knows the rodeo starts tomorrow so she will be up bright and early doing breakfast and getting everything ready for the day" Luther says

As I go to speak it thunders outside and we all groan. 

"I got it. Buck take Sophie" I tell him

He nods and stands and lifts her off of me and a scream rings through the house. I bolt up the stairs and into Soph's room to see her huddled up in the corner shaking.

"Come on baby. It's ok." I say lifting her up

She clings to me and I take her into the bathroom and start the shower.  I sit her on the counter and I strip down and then I pull her clothes off and lift her up and I step in the shower. I let the hot water hit her back and I let her slide down my body. She was still shaking and I slammed my lips to her and she moans. 

"I got a great way to take your mind off of it." I say lifting her up

She wraps her legs around me and I push her against the shower wall and slide into her gently. I pull back and push back into her fast and she moans and bites down on my shoulder. I pick up pace and she sinks her nails into my back. 

"c*m for me baby" I say biting into her neck

She moans loudly and finds her release. I soon find me and she leans against me panting.

"let me down" She mumbles

I nod and let her slide down and she picks up her sponge and starts washing up. I wash her hair and when we were both done I turned the water off and stepped out wrapping a towel around my waist and I wrapped one around her and she gave me a small smile and yawned. 

"Let's get you dry and into some jammies. Your exhausted" I tell her

She nods but doesn't say anything. I dry her off quickly and help her into her jammies. I dry off and slip on some boxers and sweats. I grab her fluffy blanket and I lift her up so she can wrap her legs around my waist and I carry her downstairs. I sit in the recliner and she stays wrapped around me.

"You good baby?" Luther asks her

"Hmm" Is all the says

"Want some hot tea kitten?" Tom asks her

"No" She mumbles

She gets up and walks over to her dad and Emma.

"Move over daddy" She mumbles

He nods and slides over and she sits between them and leans over laying her head in Emma's lap. Emma smiles and runs her fingers through her hair and Luther smiles. 

"I got a sister finally" Taz smiles 

"If you would have had a sister you would have eaten her alive. You take more time in the bathroom then a woman does" Emma tells him

Soph giggles and looks at Taz and winks.

"We could always share the bathroom" She says smiling

"Haha" Taz says smirking

Her smiles fades and she sighs and snuggles into Emma more. After she drifted off more I could see Luther tear up.

"She's clinging to you" Luther says

"Yeah. She has since we met" Emma says

"You remind her of her momma." Luther says 

"You did great." Emma tells him

"I wish she was hear sometimes. She missed so much of her life" Luther says

"She has but you have her and that's all that matters. Trey left us after he lost the title to someone else. He wanted no part of me still being a assassin. And when he found I was pregnant with my miracle he left that night. At first we were great together. We both were doing what we loved to do. But then he started not coming home and the house whores were there more and I wasn't stupid so I moved into the house I have now. I had my own money I didn't need his. Even though I took it all when he left. He may have left me broken but that thing over there pieced me back together and my life was complete. I was never suppose to be able to get pregnant but I guess life decided I needed to be a mom." Emma says smiling at Taz

He smiles and walks over kissing her cheek and sitting in the floor laying his head on her knee.  

"You did good. If Sophia takes up to him then he's special. For a long time she wouldn't let any man touch her including me. A lot happened to her and it made her grow up to quick. I wish she would stop being so serious sometimes and just enjoy life but she thinks she has to take care of everyone. I want her to worry about her for once. Hell I wouldn't mind if she ended up in jail for doing something stupid." Luther says chuckling

"Now you know her momma would ring your neck for saying that" I tell him

"Yeah she would but if she seen how her baby was now she would probably high five me." He tells me

"Yeah your probably right. I got a idea how about Sunday we throw a huge party. I'll invite everyone I'll get a big bounce house and cater the food." I say

"Oh i'm getting the bubbles" Hunter says

"Foam party?" Greg asks

"Hell yes. Let's see if the old Sophia is still in here" Hunter says

"Alright. Ooh I can invite the girls from school. They know how to throw a great party. But we need to get sitters. No babies" Casey says

"The nanny can keep the twins" Milly says

"Alright. Gotta cover the liquor as well. Drunk Soph is more fun" Casey says

"I got it. Alright let's get to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a early morning and we all know it" I say to everyone

Everyone nods and I stand and walk over picking up Soph and carrying her to her room. After getting her settled I stripped to my boxers and slid in the bed with her and fell right to sleep. 

Sophia's POV

I woke up the next morning feeling better. I walked down stairs in my jammies and started breakfast. I turned on my music and got to cooing waffles, pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, sausage, and coffee. I felt arms go around my waist and I smiled and turned and kiss Lance's cheek. Everyone filed into the kitchen and I placed everything on the bar and my music continued to play. Lance grabbed my hand and spun me and around and we started dancing around the kitchen. I laugh and he grins down at me and I start singing Home Alone Tonight. He spun me quick and Greg took over and Lance grabbed Sophie. Greg dipped me and pulled me up and spun me again and Hunter caught me. I peeked over at my dad to see him grinning. I pulled from Hunter and skipped over to my dad and offered him my hand and he chuckled and took it. He spun me out and back in and swayed with me. When the song ended daddy kissed my cheek and I smiled and closed my eyes.

"Alright everyone eat up before it gets cold" I tell them

They nod and dig in and I watch everyone eat and talk.

"Are you not eating?" Emma asks

"Oh I ate while cooking." I tell her sipping my hot tea

"She always does that" Casey says

"But your not complaining cause I cooked" I tell her 

"Of course. You cook just as good as Momma K" She says without thinking

She drops her fork and looks at me with wide eyes.

"I'm" She starts

"It's fine C. Good to know I got one good thing from her" I tell her smiling

The music was still playing and Dibs started playing and I started singing and doing the dishes. Before I know it the dishes are done and I skip up stairs to get ready. I slip on my jeans that look like they were painted on me and my favorite belt and belt buckle. I grab a white tank top and my purple plaid shirt. I straighten my long hair and do my make up. I grab my hat and phone and I walk down stairs. 

"Wow" Taz says

I do a spin and grin and Lance who groans. 

"Are we all ready?" I ask

"yeah let's go" Buck says

"Where are the twins?" I ask

"We went ahead and took them to the nanny. I don't wanna take them this young" Milly says

I nod and we walk out to our trucks. I unlock the doors and Lance gets in the passenger seat and everyone else piles in the back or with Buck and Milly. I pull out of the gate and turn on the radio Animals was playing. I smile and start bobbing my head and singing along. We pull up to a red light and Buck revs his truck at me. I smirk and rev mine and it rumbles loudly. Buck's smirk drops and the light turns green and I step on the gas and shoot forward leaving him behind. I pull up to the grounds and I grin. I park and Lance hops out and comes around opening my door. I step onto the side bar and he grabs my waist lowering me to the ground. We walk hand and hand over to sign me up for my competitions. Once I was signed up I walked over to the pin to see what was going on. I see Buck going up against Luke and some girl. I smirk and walk over to Buck and he grins.

"Ready?" He asks

"Of course. You know how I work" I tell him

"I know" He says

"Just stand there and let me work and I plan on showing off. I'm going bareback" I tell him

"Soph" He starts

"Shh" I tell him

He groans and the bell rings and the horses are released and Buck grabs the harness of a pure black horse and I walk in front of the horse and look at her.

"Woah girl" I say to her and she stops and stares at me

I reach up and pet her nose and she bumps my hand. I walk around her and run my hand down her side and smile. I grab her mane and pull myself onto her back. She goes crazy and I pet her and she calms down. I grab the reins and wink at buck and take off on her and I ride over grabbing the flag and everyone cheers. I look over and see Luke frowning and the girl bitching. I ride the beauty past them smirking.

"And that's how it's done" I say

I toss the flag to Buck and I let go of the reins and nudge her right side and she starts spinning and I hold my arms out and grin. I nudge her left side and she switches and spins the other way. Everyone goes crazy and I grin. I walk the horse over to the stable hands and I slide off her. 

"Take care of her. I'll be coming back for her" I tell him

"Of course" He says and takes her away

I run over to Buck and he scoops me up spinning me around. 

"And the 1st place prize goes to Buck and Sophia" A man says

"one down and four to go" I say grinning

"That's my girl" Lance says coming over spinning me around

He sits me down and kisses me. 

"Next event is in twenty minutes." He says

I nod and skip over jumping on Greg's back. He chuckles and grips my thighs so I don't fall and carries me over to get something to drink. He orders our drinks and a woman comes up pulling me off of him and Hunter catches me.

"b***h what the f**k is your problem" I snap at her

"Stay off my man" She growls

"b***h I can make you disappear and I will always come first. He will always choose me first." I say smirking

"Gina enough. Apologize to Sophia now" Greg growls at her

She sucks in a breathe and looks at me scared and I smirked.

"I'm waiting" I tell her

"I'm sorry" She mumbles

I roll my eyes and jump back on Greg's back and he carries me over to the rest of the gang. He sits me down in Lance's lap and takes a seat and Gina sits beside him.

"So Hunter where is Jess?" I ask him

"Around here somewhere. Probably over with the horses. That woman is gonna make us have a damn zoo" He mumbles

"Oh come it aint that bad" I tell him

"That physco lady brought home four ferrets at once. Who the hell buys four at once. Jess that's who" He growls

My jaw drops and I look at Lance. 

"No way." He says

"Just a dog?" I ask

"No" He says

"Please?" I say pouting

"Ugh fine. But I'm not looking after the damn thing and it's not sleeping in the bed with us" He tells me

"Fine. But I get to choose the dog" I tell him

He groans and hides his face in my neck and I smile. Buck stands and I know it's time for the other events. I stand and walk over for the barrel racing. I walk over and get on Grey and he huffs.

"Come on boy let's win this one" I tell him

The bell rings and Grey takes off and does what he is suppose to without me pushing him and when we finish we had the winning time. I smile and slide off him and kiss his nose. 

Skipping the rest of the day

As soon as I walked in the house I fell face first on the couch and groan. 

"Come on cinderella let's get you in a bath and in bed. Your exhausted." Lance says lifting me up

He carries me up stairs and kicks the bedroom door shut. He walks in the bathroom and sits me on the counter and starts the water in my tub and walks over kneeling down to remove my boots and socks. He stands and I raise my arms and groan and he removes my my shirts. I put my arms down and he helps me off the counter and undoes my belt and undoes my pants and pushes them down my legs. Well he tries to and they get stuck and he groans.

"f*****g jeans" He growls

"I didn't hear any complaining when you were staring at my ass" I tell him

He smirks and finally gets them down and pulled off. He hooks his fingers in my panties and pulls them down and stands and removes my bra. He lifts me up and then down into the hot water. I groan and stare up at him.

"Come on" I tell him

He smiles and strips and slides in behind me. I lean back against him and he rubs my shoulders. I start washing up and he washes my hair and then washes himself. We both get out and get into some jammies. Mine consisting of my boy shorts and his shirt. I crawl in bed and groan.

"I forgot how bad your muscles hurt after riding all day" I whine

I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up in the middle of the night thirsty so I walked down stairs. I heard people talking and I looked around the corner to see my dad kiss Emma. My jaw dropped  and I stepped back a few steps and walked forward yawning and rubbing my eyes. I walked forward into the kitchen rubbing my eyes and when I opened them dad was looking at me.

"What's wrong baby" He asks

"thirsty" I mumble

"Want some hot tea lovely?" Emma asks

"No just some water. To tired to wait on tea" I mumble sleepily 

"Alright."  Dad says pouring me a glass of water

I gulp in down and lay my head on the counter.

"Come on love back to bed" Lance says picking me up a few minutes later

I was placed back down in the bed and I felt Lance wrap his arms around me and I was out like a light again.
