The Long Run

Chapter 8

Sophia's POV

I wake up the next morning and groan at how bad my muscles hurt. My eyes snapped open when I remembered my dad and Emma kissing. I jumped up and ran down stairs to find everyone eating breakfast.

"You two" I say to my dad and Emma

"Us two what?" Dad says

"I seen you two kissing in the kitchen last night" I say shockingly

Everyone's jaw drops and Taz's fork hits his plate hard.

"What?" Taz says

"You heard me. I know I was tired but I definitely not blind" I say eyeing Emma

She looks scared and looks to my dad.

"Now Soph we can explain" Dad starts

"Explain what? I'm happy for you" I tell him

"Sophia it really wasn't suppose to happen" Emma says

"Emma it's fine really." I tell him waving her off

"Oh my god. Shut your mouth and let me speak" Emma snaps

I look at her shocked and I see Taz tense. 

"What's going on?" I snap back

"Emma isn't my real name. Your father and I have known each other before you introduced us today. Matter of a fact we knew each other before you were even born." She says and looks at me dad

He nods and Emma reaches up and pulls off her wig. She grips the top of her face and peels all the rubber off her face and looks at me. I'm shocked to see my mother standing there staring at me. 

"You knew" I say looking at me dad

"Taz's real name is Tallen. He's your brother forreal." My mother speaks

"Did you know to?" I say looking at Taz or Tallen

He nods and bows his head and I look at Lance.

"I swear I didn't know" He says

"Lance didn't know. I didn't want him knowing and it causing you two more problems." Dad says

"You let me walk into your house and you pretended you didn't know who I was. You let your son grow close to me. You let me get attached knowing who you really were. And you, you knew I told you that if anything went wrong that I would blame you. I'm so stupid. I trusted you all" I say standing up

I run out the door and to the bar grabbing Grey. I walk him in to the field and I jump on him bareback and I take off while I hear everyone call my name.

Lance's POV

"How could you? She's your daughter." I roar at Luther

"I know we lied to her but it was to protect her. I didn't want her knowing this life. But I knew when you two happened that she had to know. Little did I know that my own daughter kill with the snap of her fingers. I know we lied to her but Steph was in trouble and we had to hide her and that was the best way. I've been seeing them for years. Me and the evil b***h were never married. She was paid to be here that is why it was so easy to kick her out of my life. She actually has a family of her own but she was in the gang and I paid her to be here and pretend." Luther says

"Where did she run off to?" Stephanie asks

"I know where she went but I'm going after her and you will stay here" I say not looking at her

"That's my daughter" She starts

"And that's my f*****g girlfriend. So help me god if you follow me I will kill you my damn self" I shout in her face

I grab her other horse and I take off after her. When I arrive i hear her sobbing before I see her. I jump down off the horse and take off running over to her. She was sitting by the waterfall we would always come to crying. I kneel down and pull her into my arms and rock her back and forth.

"They lied to me" She sobs into my chest

"I know baby. I'm so sorry. If I would have known I would have told you"  I tell her

We sat there til she was dosing off. I picked her up and put her on Grey and I got on my horse and I guided us back to the barn. I put the horses away and carried her in the house. When I walked in the door everyone jumped up. Stephanie went to touch her and I stepped back and released a growl. Luther pulls her back and I walk her upstairs and I place her on her bed removing her shoes. I pull the covers over her and kiss her forehead. I walk down stairs and stare at everyone. 

"Tomorrow when she gets up everyone will be pleasant and you will not speak about anything that happened tonight. Greg you and Hunter need to get things ready for the party."  I tell them

"Alright got it done. The cater will be here at noon. So that means we get up and take her to the mall for some shopping and then back here in time for the party to start." Greg says

"Alright. Casey did you get in touch with the girls?" I ask

"Yeah. I told them to be here at two. Plenty of time for the cater's to get things ready" She tells me

"Alright. Well let's get to bed" I tell them

They nod and we all head to be. I crawl in bed with Soph and she rolls over snuggling into me. I wrap my arms around her and realize I hit nothing but skin. She must have pulled her clothes off after I put her to bed. I sigh and close my eyes drifting off. 

Next Morning

I wake up the next morning and notice Sophia asleep on my tummy. The sheets were right above her ass and I smirk. I lean over and traced my lips for the dip in her lower back to the top of her shoulders. I nibbled on her neck and she moaned and rolled her hips and my d**k sprung to life. I slid the sheet off of her and I kicked my boxers off. I climbed over her and slid my d**k between her legs and slid gently into her. She moaned and arched her back and I sped up my pace. I gripped her hips and f****d her into the mattress. 

"I'm cumming" She moans into her pillow

I thrust faster and faster and I squeeze her hips more.

"c*m now" I growl out

She bites down on her pillow cumming hard. I find my release in her and slowly pull out and slump down beside her. She flips her head over to look at me and smirks. 

"I was up the moment you kissed my lower back" She tells me

"Are you kidding me?" I groan

"Nope" I say popping the P

I groan and she giggles.

"It was cute" She says and I hear the smile in her voice

She rolls over on top of me and smiles down at me and she leans down kissing me and I kiss her back. There is a knock on the door and Brett throws the door open.

"Alright you two. Up Up. We have things to do" He tells us

"Twenty minutes. I need a shower" Soph says

"Alright but if I have to come back I will drag you out naked" He says and closes the door

She leans down hiding her face in my neck and groans. 

"Come on baby. WE really have to get up" I tell her

She groans again and I chuckle and sit up and carry her to the bathroom. I step in the shower and turn on the water and let it run over us. I sit her on her feet and she starts washing up. Once she was done she dried off and slipped on some high waisted shorts and a crop top. she down her make up and pulled her wet hair into a messy bun and then slipped on her sandles. She walks over and grabs her phone and turns for the door. I reach over grabbing her wrist and pulling her back into my chest. I run my hands over her tummy and kiss the side of her neck.

"We have to go" She whispers

"I love you" I whisper in her ear

"I love you more" She says smiling

"I love you most" I tell her

"I know" She says and skips out the door

I chuckle and run ahead of her. I can hear her chasing me giggling. I stop in the door way of the living room when I hit the floor. I look over to see Sophia laughing like crazy.

"Did you just tackle me?" I ask her

"Yup" She says and gets up from the floor

I roll my eyes at her and get up and groan.

"aw are you getting old?" She asks me

"Did you just? Why you little" I say taking off after her

Just then Luther comes walking in and Sophia runs behind him hiding.

"Daddy help me. The mean mafia boss is after me" She squeals

"Well little Angel what did you do to make the mean Mafia boss chase you?" Luther asks

"I may have told him he was getting old" She says pouting

"Oh. Well he is getting old" Luther tells her wrapping a arm around her

"See I told you" She says sticking her tongue out at me

I faked hurt and Luther chuckled.

"Come talk to your old man for a minute" He tells Sophia

She nods and they walk away together. 

Sophia's POV

We entered his office and I noticed me so called mother sitting in my chair. I stiffened cause that was my seat.

"Have a seat sweetie" Dad tells me

"No thanks I'l stand" I mumble

"Woah where did my cheery girl go that was just out there?" He asks

I look everywhere but at him. 

"What did you want?" I ask

"Well your mother is moving back home" He tells me

"Alright. Well I'll go stay in the penthouse the remainder of my stay" I tell him

"Sophia no. We want you here" Stephanie says

"Well I don't want to be around around you. And get the f**k out of my chair" I snap at her

"This is my chair" She says

"No it's not. I bought that chair so I could work with my father" I scream at her

"Sophia calm down." Dad tells me

"Don't tell me to calm down. Just let her come back like nothing is wrong with this. I'll be at my penthouse." i say walking over and yanking the door open

Just then my phone rings and I snap at the person on the phone.

"Mission now. I'll text you the place and the guy." Simon tells me

"Alright" I tell him

I walk back in the living room and sigh. 

"I have a mission so I have to leave now" I tell them

"What mission?" Lance asks

"Simon called me. I have to get ready" I say walking to my room 

I walk in my closet and pull out my duffle bag and toss it on the bed. I strip out of my clothes and slip on my black leather corset and then my skin tight leather pants and my red stilettos. I walk in the bathroom and darken my make up and I straighten my hair. I add bright red lipstick and walk out of the bathroom. I put on my holsters and place my guns all around on my body. I hide a knife between my breasts and one on the side of my leg. I grab my phone and leather jacket and I walk down stairs. 

"Damn" I here Milly say

"I can have this done in less that two hours. So I can be back in time for the party" I tell them smirking

"How did you?" Mill says

"Please i'm not stupid." I tell her

"Sophia" Stephanie says walking towards me

I pull out my gun and aim it at her.

"Don't come near me. Don't speak to me. That innocent little girl died long time ago when you decided to leave her" I snap at her

"Sophia" Tanner starts

I pull out another one and aim it at him and he stops dead in his tracks. Suddenly men bust through the door I spin around and start shooting. Everyone was taking cover but I kept shooting. I dropped all the men and I looked around.

"Freeze" I hear a man say

I spin around and see a man holding Milly. She was crying and I glared at the men. Buck stepped up and I waved him off. 

"Drop her before I drop you" I say

"Oh and what are you gonna do little girl?" He says smirking

My phone rang and I answered it holding up my finger to him.

"Hello?" I say

"That's the man you need to kill" Simon tells me

"Done" I say and hang up

"Sorry where were we?" I ask

"I was going to kill her" He says

"Oh right. Milly elbow" I tell her

She elbows him in the stomach hard and dives to the floor. I do a flip over to him and punch him in the nose. I throw his gun away from him and I continue to punch him in the face.

"You go after my family and you will die." I say stabbing him in the side

I jump up and let him stand. I pull my gun out and shoot him in the head and he drops to the floor. I pull out my phone and call Simon for clean up and he says the are one their way. I walk over to Milly and lift her up and she hugs me tightly.

"Are you ok?" I ask her

"Yeah. Thanks" She mumbles

"All good. Well I guess I don't need to actually leave for that mission now."  I say chucking

"Wow you really are good" Greg says

"Um duh" I tell him

"Sophia" Dad says

"What?" I ask

"You ok?" He asks

"I'm fine." I say not looking at him

"Alright well let's go shopping" I tell them

"Do you wanna change?" Lance asks

I unstrap my holsters and toss them in the nearby chair and slip on my leather jacket.

"Alright let's go" I tell them walking to my Charger

Buck took his truck and Casey and Cody rode with him while the guys rode with me. I slid into my seat and turned on the music and pulled out of the driveway. I speed down the highway jamming to the music and we finally pull up to the mall. I step out of the car and wait on everyone else. I lock my car and we head inside. Me and the girls walked around shopping for a while and we decided to go grab ice cream and we met the guys at the food court. We stopped dead in our tracks when we seen a bunch of girls talking to our men. We all smirked and walked up to them. Milly didn't care she pushed the girl away from Buck and took a seat in his lap.

"Hey" The girl said

"Oh I'm sorry. But I don't think my fiance is interested. I think he loves the mother of his children" Milly says smirking

The girl huffs but backs off. Next Casey walks over and kisses Cody hard and he grips her ass. She pulls back and turns around his his arms and glares at the girl. The girl backs right off and sulks. I didn't advance Lance at all. I just stood back watching. The girl ran her hand down his arm and he pulled back and turned her to face me and leaned down to her ear.

"Do you see that woman right there?" He asks her pointing at me

"Yes" The girl says

"Well i think she happens to like me f*****g her in ever position I can get her in. And she will snap your neck if you don't back off her boyfriend" He says seriously

I smirk and walk over to him and he pulls me into his arms. 

"Well then" The girl says

"Sorry sweetheart but I happen to like his d**k to much to share" I tell her with a straight face

"How can you talk about him like that?" She asks

"'Like what? He talks about me the same way. We love each other and we are very open with our s*x lives." I say rolling my eyes at the girl

She nods and her and her friends walk away. 

"Sophia" I hear someone yell my name

I spin around to see Wilson standing there. I smile and run over hugging him tight. He spins me around and sits me down on my feet.

"Oh MY God what are you doing here?" I ask him smiling

"I just moved back. Are you visiting your dad?" He asks

"Yeah i am. I'm here til Friday and then I head back to Cali" I tell him

"That's awesome. Running that firm I see" He says

"Of course. How is Rach?" I ask

"Beautiful as always. She's around here somewhere" He says

I feel arms wrap around my waist and I smile.

"Wilson this is Lance my boyfriend. Babe this is Wilson. We were in school together. I set him up with my sorority sister Rachel." I tell him

"Nice to meet you" Lance says shaking his hand

"Soph?" I hear

I turn to see a pregnant Reachel standing there. I squeal and walk over to her hugging her. 

"Oh my goodness. Look at you" I tell her

"Yeah. We are having a boy." She says

"I see he finally got it right" I say eyeing Wilson who turns bright red

"Don't blush sweetie. It's ok" I tell him

"You told her" Wilson says gulping

"Duh. we use to sit around talking about all our guys. Sophia here of course never dated anyone" Rachel says

"And I have my reasons" I tell her

"Soph babe i'm sorry to cut this short but we really have to go."  Lance tells me 

"Alright babe. Call me soon Rach" I tell her hugging her

She nods and I hug Wilson and we leave the mall. We get back in the cars and we drive back to my dads. I park the car and we all head inside to see Robert and the other guys there. 

"Did you know?" I ask Robert

"Know what kitten?" He asks

"That my b***h of a mother was alive this whole time" I tell him

"What?" He asks 

"She's alive and been living in Cali with my so called brother. Dad knew and lied to me all these years" I tell him

He opens his arms and I walk into them and he wraps his arms around me tightly. 

"I didn't know kitten. I'm so sorry" Robby tells me

"Come on now more crying. Let's go get changed." Casey says pulling my to my room

I sigh but strip down and slip on my solid black bathing suit. I walk out the back door and there is a huge foam party going on. I walk over and pick up a bottle of patron and pour me a double shot and I down them. Next thing I knew I was thrown over someone's shoulder and was carried over to the big slide. I was sat on my feet again and Lance looks at me. I climb of the stairs and he follows me. He sits down and I sit in his lap and he sends us sliding down into the bubbles. I laugh when we hit the water and bubbles and I hear him chuckle behind me. I stand up and scoop up some bubbles I turn and place them on Lance's face giving him a bubble beard. I giggle and grin at him.

"There's my girl. Thought I lost you for a minute" He says smiling at me

I roll my eyes and turn around to see my sorority sisters standing there.

"OH MY GOD" I squeal

"Casey called us. Now what is this I hear about you not being your bubbly self?" Cassie asks

"I've had a lot going on" I tell her shrugging

"Well as of right now we are going to get wasted and then later tonight you are going to get into one of hot little dresses and we are going to the club" She tells me pointing a finger at me

I salute her and she nods at me. She pulls me over to the bar and orders Greg to make us drinks.

"Am I getting my evil little one back?" Greg asks

"Sweetie i'm always evil" I say downing my shots

He chuckles and hands us another drink and I sipped it and moaned. 

"My fav" I say taking a gulp

Arms wrapped around my waist and I leaned into them. 

"Come dance with me" I hear Cody says

"Hey" Casey shouts

"Oh hush you. I love you" He tells her and drags me away

I wink at Casey and she shakes her head at me. I spin and start dancing with Cody and we were talking as well. 

"So when are you gonna pop the question?" I ask him

"Um I'm not sure" He mumbles

"Cody stop f*****g around and ask her. You already know you want to ask but you won't do it" I tell him and walk away from him

I walked over downing the rest of my drink and when I look up I see my dad and so called mother looking at me. I turn my back to them and I run over jumping on Hunter's back. He stumbled forward but regained his balance and chuckled when he see me on his back. he runs over jumping into the pool and I come up squealing. 

"that was cold" I say pouting at him

"Aw poor baby" He says wrapping his arms around me

I lean into him and he hugs me tightly.

"Are you happy kitten?" He asks me

I shrug and he turns me and looks at me. 

"What?" I ask sighing

"What's wrong?" He asks

"I don't know. I feel like Lance wants to be with me but then he doesn't. My parents are on some other planet thinking i'm going to be ok with everything. I don't know what i'm doing with my life. Iv'e tried to leave and start over and I always end up right back here and I hate it" I tell him

He climbs out of the pool and pulls me out with him and wraps a arm around me and leads me in the house. We walk to my office here and as we enter he closes the door. 

"Soph look around. Tell me what you see" He tells me

I turn around and I see a whole wall of pictures of me and the guys. I walk over and pick up a picture of me and Lance. I smile down at the picture and run my fingers of it. I place the picture back and pick up another one of all of us. I walk over looking out my window at all my friends playing in the bubbles and drinking. I smile and laugh when I see Lance push Greg into the pool. I see some girl I don't know push up on Lance and I stand there watching as he doesn't push her away. Just as Hunter touches my shoulder the girl kisses Lance. My anger grows and I drop the picture and I walk out of my office and out the back door. Hunter is screaming my name and Lance's head snaps up and sees me heading his way. Everyone parts so I can get through and I grab the girl by her fake blonde hair. She yells out and I get in her face.

"If you ever touch my man again you will find yourself at the bottom of a f*****g lake. Do I make myself clear?" I say quietly in her face

She nods and I let her go and face and turn to face Lance. Hurt was written all over my face and he can see it. I shake my head and turn away from him and walk towards the door. There was a guard there and I felt that girl coming after me. I pull his gun from his holster and I turn pointing it at her face. She stops dead in her tracks and fear is written all over her.

"You wouldn't" She says

I smirk and move the gun shooting her in the leg. She yells out and I smirk and walk over to her.

"Want to repeat that?" I ask

"I'll press charges" She hisses

"Oh really? Alright well then I can just kill you now and hide your body. No one will ever know you existed" I tell her

She looks at me scared and I smile at her.

"Take her to get fixed up and then I want her watched." I say handing the guard his gun back

He nods and takes it and I walk in the house. Lance runs after me and grabs my arm. I grip his wrist and flip him over and I straddle him.

"Let me explain" He tells me

"Why should i?" I ask him

"She kissed me. Your friend Cassie pulled her off me. Cassie was yelling at her and before I could say anything you came out there. Ask Cassie if you don't believe me" He says

Right there I knew he was telling the truth. I lean down and kiss him and he kisses me back twice as hard.

"Hey you two. Come on" Hunter tells us

I groan and stand up pulling Lance up with me. We walk back outside and my dad walks over to me. 

"Can we talk a minute?" He asks

I look at Lance and he nods and I look back at my dad and nod. He grins and motions for me to follow him. We get into my office and he closes the door. 

"What's up?" I ask

"I know you don't want to stay here and that's OK. I understand. But I need you to come to the office for a hour tomorrow." He tells me

"What's going on?" I ask him

"Nothing much just something I need you to sign with my lawyer" He tells me

"Alright" I say picking up the picture I had taken off the wall

"I remember that day. You had just got your acceptance letter" Dad says over my shoulder

"The guys were so happy for me" I say not looking at him

"They love you. Especially Lance" Dad says

"I know he does. And I love him." I say glancing at my dad

"I'm sorry I lied to you baby. But your mom was in danger and you were so little when she had to leave i thought telling you she died was for the best. I couldn't tell you she left us cause then you would have searched for her and I couldn't have that. I know your upset and probably will leave for a while but don't hate me baby" He says kissing my temple and turns to leave

I sit the picture down and I turn grabbing his arm. He turns to look at me and tears gather in my eyes.

"Daddy I don't hate you." I whisper

He sighs and pulls me into his arms and I cry into his chest. Soon enough Lance comes walking in my office door and stops and looks at me. 

"Hey baby i'm sorry to interrupt but you better get out there before Cassie comes dragging you out by your hair" He says

I laugh and dad wipes my tears off my face and we head outside.

"Sophia" Cassie yells

"Yes love?" I call walking up to her

"Who is that?" She say motions towards Greg

"That is Greg. He is Lance's brother" I tell her

"Is he single?" She asks

"Greg" I call 

"Yes your highness" He says wrapping his arms around my waist

"Cassie here was asking if you were single" I say smirking at Cassie

"I'm single." He says

"Well then that means you two can go together to the club tonight with us" I tell him

"Sure" He says and bites my neck/shoulder playfully

I hiss and pull away from him.

"Greg! What have I told you about biting me" I snap at him 

"I'm sorry kitten. You just taste so good. What kind of body wash is my brother bathing you in?" He asks smirking

"Oh trust me brother you don't want to know" Lance says wrapping his arms around me

"OK first gross. Secondly to much info" Greg says

"I'm sure you have heard much worse" I tell him smirking

"OK stop before I throw up" Greg says shuddering

"Auntie Soph" I hear the twins yell

I smile and bend down in time for them to jump at me. I wrap my arms around them and stand up swinging them around. 

"What are my two favorite monsters doing here?" I ask

"Sissy forgot her medicine. Tina had to bring us to get it" Rylan tells me

"Oh yeah don't need to forget that" I tell him

"OK you two. Come on" Tina tells them

"But" Sophie says

"No buts. Buts are for sitting. You two will see her tomorrow I promise" Tina says

"Alright" The twins say

I place them down and they kiss my cheek and run back to Tina who leaves with them. 

"They are so cute" Cassie says

"They are." I tell her my smile dropping some

"Soon" Lance whispers in my ear

I nod slightly and I reach over picking up the bottle of patron and take a double shot. Lance takes the bottle from me and sits it back on the bar and kisses my neck softly. I smile lightly and I see Brett walk in with Jess. I smile and run towards him.

"Brett" I squeal

I jump on his wrapping my arms and legs around him.

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

"I've been better" I tell him

"Is my brother being a douche again?" He asks

"For once no he isn't" I tell him

He chuckles and carries me over to Lance. I hide my face in Brett's neck and he chuckles softly and kisses the side of my head. 

"Jess nice to see you again" Lance says to her

"You to. You taking care of our girl?" Jess asks

"Always" Lance says

I smile slightly and I see Greg look at me and wink. I felt the shivers run through me and Brett rubbed my back.

"Cold?" He asks

I nod and Lance drapes a blanket over my back. 

"Why don't you go shower and get ready" Brett says to me

I look up at Lance and Brett hands me over and Lance carries me upstairs to my room. Lance takes me into the bathroom and starts the bath water and then he turns and strips me out of my bathing suit. He lifts me up and sits me down in the hot bubbling water. He then strips and sinks down behind me and pulls me into his chest. I sigh and lean back closing my eyes.

"Do you ever see kids in your future?" I ask

"I never really thought about it" He tells me

"You never pictured your pregnant girlfriend or watching your son or daughter be born?" I ask

"Once." He tells me and I feel him tense

"When" I ask

"When you were in school. Her name is Lizzie. We were so in love. She got pregnant and something went wrong and she lost the baby. Afterwards our relationship fell apart and she left. I haven't heard from her since" He tells me

"How far was she?" I ask

"32 weeks. We were going to have twins" He mumbles

"Do you see yourself having kids with me?" I ask him as I draw little patterns on his arm

"Honestly Soph I don't know. With me in the mafia I never really thought about it" He tells me

"Lance if you don't want kids tell me now. Cause if not then this isn't going to work. I want to be a mom." I tell him

"Sophia only time will tell if we are meant to have kids" He tells me

"No I know I can get pregnant. I want a family. It's a yes or no. And don't tell me yes just to shut me up" I tell him turning to face him

"I don't know" He tells me

I nod and stand up stepping out of the tub and I wrap a towel around me. I walk into my closet and slip on some comfy clothes and  I run down to Greg's room. I walk in without knocking and see Casey in there talking to him.

"What's wrong baby?" Greg asks

My eyes water and Greg asks Casey to leave for a few minutes. He pulls me into his arms and I cry.

"He doesn't see himself having kids with me. I've always wanted to be a mom. I won't give that up for him. I may love him but it's not worth it if I can't have the one thing I always wanted." I tell Greg 

He lifts me up and lays me on this bed and walks out the door and comes back a few minutes later with Hunter and Brett and they all slide in the bed with me.

"Sleep baby" Hunter tells me

"I have to get ready" I tell him

"We canceled tonight. Everyone has left" Brett says

I nod and let my eyes slide closed. I don't know how long I slept but when I woke up again I slid out from around the guys and walked down to the living room. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it round me and sat down on the couch and just relaxed and closed my eyes.

"Baby" I hear dad says

"Hi daddy" I mumble

"Why are you up this late?" He asks

"Just thinking" I tell him

"Come on now love. Talk to me" Dad says

"Lance said he doesn't see himself having kids with me. I always wanted to me a mom and I won't give that up for anyone" I tell him

Dad sighs and pulls me over so my head is laying on his chest and he rubs my back.

"Baby you shouldn't give up what you want for anyone. Give him some time. This is new to him. He finally has you the way he wants you and now the mafia is involved he is just scared" Dad tells me

I nod and close my eyes and I hear shuffling.

"Luther are you coming back to bed?" The woman says

I sigh and keep my eyes closed.

"Sophia needs me so i'm going to stay here til she is ready to go back to her room" He tells her

I smile slightly and I hear her sigh.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" She asks

"No" I snap

"Sophia come on please" She says

"I don't want your help. I haven't needed your help for twenty years so why would I need your help now?" I ask her glaring

"Please understand" She starts

"I don't want to understand. I think i'll go back to my room. I'd rather fight with Lance then talk to you" I say standing up and walking back to my room

When I enter my room Lance was asleep on the sofa on the other side of the room. I sigh and slide into bed and snuggle into my silk sheets. I don't know how long I lay there but I toss and turn and groan smacking the bed. I slide out of bed and walk over and I lay down on top of Lance and sigh closing my eyes.

"Soph?" He says 

"hmm" I hum

"What's wrong?" He asks

"sleep" I mumble 

"Let's move to the bed and you can lay on me" He says sitting up

I wrap my arms around his neck and he carries me to bed and lays down with me on top of him. I sigh and he runs his fingers up and down my spine til I was asleep. When I woke up the next morning I was in bed alone. I got up and walked down the kitchen and see Lance cooking. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his back.

"I'm sorry" I whisper

He sighs and turns around to face me and kisses the top of my head.

"No i'm sorry. Let's give it a year. Stay on birth control and if things are good with us then we will try" He tells me

I look up at him with wide eyes and tears flood my eyes.

"Really?" I ask

"Yes." He says

I lean up and kiss him and he kisses me back with so much passion that my stomach has butterflies.

"Not in my kitchen" I hear dad say

I smile and turn to face him and he sees me.

"You ok?" He asks

"We are going to give it a year and then we are going to try" I tell him

"Really?" He asks and I can see the excitement in his eyes

"Really. And no you can't start buying baby stuff now. You have a year" I tell him

He huffs and walks out of the kitchen and Lance chuckles. He turns and plates my food and hands it to me. I lean up and kiss him and take my plate and I walk out the back door. I walk out the back gate and to my favorite spot. I came out here so much dad added a little table and two chairs. I take a seat and start eating my food. I hear footsteps and I think it's Lance. But when I turn and look it's my so called mother. 

"Sophia" She says

"What?" I ask not looking at her

"Stop acting like that and talk to me" She snaps

"I have nothing to say to you" I tell her

I grab my plate and cup and get up and turn to walk into the house. She reaches out and grabs my arm and I freeze.

"Remove your hand from me before I remove it by force" I tell her not looking at her

"Drop the attitude" She yells 

I spin around yanking her arm from her and glare at her.

"Stay away from me" I yell at her

Next thing I knew my head was sideways and my face was stinging. I look at her with hatred and I run in the house and to dad's office. 

"Sophia what happened?" He asks

"That b***h slapped me. I'm going home. I'm telling you not to get your b***h on a leash. If she follows me or comes anywhere near me I will put a bullet in her f*****g head with a smile on my face" I snap at him

He looks at me wide eyed. When I turn around she was standing in the door way with wide eyes. I stomp out bumping her shoulder hard with mine. I make it to my room and start throwing my things into my suit case. After I was done I shoved my lap top in it's bag and tossed my phone and charger in my purse and dragged everything to the front door. 

"What do you mean?" My dad shouts

"We mean we quit. If your going to let that b***h that lied to your daughter hit her and not say a damn word we quit" Tom shouts at my dad

"Hey kitten you ok?" Tom asks me seeing my by the door

"I'm fine" I say

"Do you want me to take you to the hotel or airport?" He asks

"Airport. I'm going home" I tell him

He nods and takes my things to the car. 

"Are we leaving?" Greg asks walking in

"I'm leaving and going home. I need to get back to the office." I tell him

He eyes me and sighs and nods.

"Let me pack" He says

"No Greg stay.. There are some things I need to take care of." I tell him

"Are you sure?" He asks

"Yeah. I need to get back and get the house set up for Buck and Mills and then get to the penthouse and set my things up. I also gotta hire a maid and butler." I tell him

"What about Tom and Marcy. I don't know if they are willing to move that far but ask them" Greg tells me

"I will." I tell him

He smiles and kisses my forehead and walks away. I pick up my purse and walk out to the car. When I finally made it to the airport Tom loaded my things and I took off alone on my way home. 

Five month time Skip

Things were going great. I had gotten Buck and Mills settled in the house with the twins. I was settled in my penthouse and was working in the office here. Greg visits when he gets the chance and Tom and Marcy accepted my offer to work for me here. Lance on the other hand hasn't really spoken to me since I left my father's those five months ago. I honestly don't know what happened. I thought we were fine but obviously we weren't. I'm on my way over to the big mansion to see Hunter and Brett now. When I get to the main gate the guard let's me in and I park out front. I walk in without knocking and I hear voices in the living room. I walk in and all the guys smile at me.

"Hi boys" I say smiling

"Soph" They all cry out

They all run over hugging me and I giggle at them.

"We have missed you around here" Allen says

"Aw i've missed you guys to. How have my boys been?" I ask

"Ok I guess." Allen says shrugging

"What's wrong?" I ask

"We heard about you and Lance breaking up" Allen says

"Oh" I say slightly shocked

"Where is he?" I ask

"In his office" Hunter says walking in

I nod and stomp off to his office. I throw the door open without knocking and see a girl sitting in his lap giggling. 

"Who the?" He shouts

When he sees me he stiffens and I smirk.

"Who are you?" The girl snarls

I smile evilly and walk over to her baring my tattoo. Her eyes widen and she jumps up.

"Get out" I tell her

She nods and scampers out shutting the door. 

"Wanna tell me why your here" Lance says

"Wanna tell me why you told everyone we broke up? I left to come back to get things ready for Buck and Milly and all of a sudden you haven't talked to me in five f*****g months." I shout at him

"Some things come up and I couldn't see you anymore" He says shrugging but not looking at me

"look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me or wanna see me" I tell him

He looked up at me and straight in the eye.

"I don't love you or want to see you" He says with a straight face

It hit me hard and it was like someone punched me in the stomach. I took a deep breath and nodded and turned my back to him. I walked to the door and pulled it open. I walked down the hallway in a daze and made my way back to the living room. 

"I have to leave" I say looking around the room

"Soph?" Allen says

I look at him before my eyes roll back in my head and I faint. 

Hunter's POV

I watched her eyes roll back in her head and she faints. Luckily Allen was standing close and was able to catch her. I rush over to her and grab her rushing her to our in house doctor. 

"What happened?" he asks

"We don't know. She walked in saying she had to leave and fainted" I tell him

He nods and starts looking her over and kicks us out of the room. I sit outside the door for what feels like hours before he opens the door and steps out.

"Well she's going to be fine and she's awake. There is something she needs to tell you" He says

I nod and walk in to see a relaxed but tensed Sophia laying on the bed. I walk over grabbing her hand and she opens her eyes to look at me. 

"What's going on?" I ask

She sighs and lifts her baggy shirt and I see her slightly round belly. My eyes snap to hers and she gives me a sad smile.

"Oh baby. That's amazing. What's wrong?" I ask

"Lance doesn't know. I found out after I came home five months ago. He hasn't spoken to me since I came home. I went to talk to him today about it but he looked me straight in the face and said he didn't love me or wanna see me." She says with tears flowing down her face

"Oh baby. This is amazing. No matter what you know Greg, Brett and I will always be there for you. I'm gonna be a uncle" I whisper

She smiles and I lean down and kiss her round tummy. 

"Thank you" She whispers

"Hi there little one. I'm your uncle Hunter. Your daddy is a dumbass but your mommy on the other hand is amazing. Your lucky to have her" I whisper to her tummy

She giggles and I lay my hand on her tummy and I feel the baby kick. 

"When do you find out what your having?" I ask

"Now" The doc says walking in

I nod and stand to leave and Soph grabs my hand.

"Stay" She whispers

I nod and stand by her head but still holding her hand. 

"Well let's take a look" The doc says

He moves the wand around on her tummy and looks at a monitor. 

"Well?" Sophia asks

"well Sophia from what I can see your going to have a healthy baby girl" The doc says smiling

I grin and I look down to see Sophia crying.

"Oh baby it's ok. Why don't you call Greg to come stay with you for a while." I tell her

She nods and I wipe off her stomach and she pulls her shirt down and looks at the doc.

"I don't want anyone to know" She tells him

He nods and leaves. I help her up and lead her to the living room.

"Oh thank god" Allen says

"I'm fine" She says

He nods and hugs her. 

"Hunt can you drive me home?" She asks

I nod and she hands me her keys. Just then Lance comes walking out and Sophia rolls her eyes at him and looks to the guys.

"Boys why don't you guys come over tomorrow night and I will cook you dinner" Soph says

"We would love to" The guys say

"Alright. I will see yall tomorrow. I need a nap" She says smiling

Everyone nods and we leave and she is silent as I drive her home. When we walk in the door she squeals and see Greg standing there. She rushes over to him and hugs him tight.

"Now tell me what's going on?" He tells her

Sophia's POV

I sigh and look at him and step back lifting my shirt. It takes a minute but he gets it and gasps. 

"Really?" He asks

"Yeah Me and Hunter just found out I'm having a healthy baby girl" She says

"Really?" Marcy says

"Yeah" I says

"Oh kitten i'm so happy for you" marcy says

"Wait you knew?" Hunter asks Marcy

"Of course I did. Who do you think held her hair while she got sick in the mornings?" Marcy asks

"Well then" Hunter says

I smile and lean into Greg and smile. 

"Mar can you make sure there is enough food for tomorrow night? The guys are coming over and we are gonna have dinner. I thought about grilling" I tell her

"Of course. Tom and I can go now since the boys are here." She says

I nod and she kisses my forehead and they head out. 

"How about a movie?" Greg says

I nod and we go and snuggle up in the movie room to watch Monster Trucks. I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up the next afternoon in my bed warm. I sat up and threw the covers back and walked into the bathroom stripping down and stepping into the shower. Once my shower was done I got dressed in some leggings and a baggy flowy shirt to hide my tummy and walked down stairs. 

"Morning" I chirp walking in

"Morning love" Hunter says

"The guys will be here in five" Greg says walking in

I nod and Tom and Greg head out to start grilling. I started helping Marcy cook some other things. Soon my doorbell rings and I skip over to open it. 

"Hey guys" I say letting them in

"Hi love" Allen says walking in

I smile and then I notice Lance came with them. I sigh and let the rest of them in. Just then my phone rings and I run over to answer it.

"Hello" I say

It was Milly and she was asking if I could take the kids tomorrow. Of course I told her I would and then she let me go.

"Mar" I call

"Yeah sweetie?" She says

"Can you make sure things are ready for tomorrow. The twins will be with us tomorrow" I tell her

"Of course. Their rooms are already set up but I will have to go out for their snacks later we are out from last time" She says

"Ok good." I say

"The twins?" Allen asks

"Of my godbabies. Their mom needs a day to herself so I said I would take them for the day" I tell him

"Ah. When can we expect a little one from you?" He asks

"I don't know. There are beers in the cooler for you guys" i tell them pointing to it

Allen and the guys nods and stand to get one.

"You want one?" Allen asks

"No thanks. I stopped drinking" I tell him smiling

"Oh why?" Lance asks

"No reason." I say shrugging

Marc brings me over some cucumbers slices and I start eating them.

"What's with the cucumber?" Lance asks

"Marcy makes me eat healthy and I like them" I say shrugging

Next Marcy walks in my prenatal pill and a glass of water and I sigh and take it.

"Are you sick?" Lance asks

"No" I say not looking at him

"Then why the meds?" He asks

"It's none of your business. Why are you even here?" I snap at him

"Because I want to be with the guys today. And it is my business" He snaps back

"No it's not. You don't love me and you don't wanna see me so again why are you here?" i scream at him

"Calm down love. It's not good" Hunter says

"What's not good?" Lance yells

I growl and spin around lifting my shirt.

"This isn't good for my baby" I scream at him

Everyone gasps and my legs become wobbly and Hunter catches me as my legs give out. He sits me down and Marcy comes in with a wet cold rag and places it on my neck to cool me down.

"Deep breathes kitten" She tells me

I nod and breathe in slowly calming down.

"Were you even going to tell me?" Lance asks

"No" I tell him looking him in the eye

"Why?" He growls

"Cause I came to tell you and you spoke your peace. You get no say so in this. Just stay away from us" I say standing up

I wobble a little bit and then I stumble and start falling. I wrap my arms around my tummy but I never hit the ground but I was on the ground. I peek my eyes open to see Lance under me groaning. 

"Are you ok?" He asks

His arms were wrapped around me and I struggled to get out of his grip. I finally got out and walked to my room. I shut the door and slid down the wall crying. Soon I hear a knock on my door and it opens and I hear someone sigh. 

"Sophia look at me" Lance says

I refuse to open my eyes and then his arms wrap around me. I peek my eyes open at him and he kisses my forehead.

"I'm so sorry" He whispers

I push him away from me and run to the bathroom emptying my tummy. I feel someone grab my hair holding it back and rubbing circles on my back. Once I was finished I flushed the toilet and stood up and brushed my teeth. Once I was done I walked over to my bed sitting down. Lance walks over and kneels in front of me. He reaches up and grabs my face and the next thing I know a loud slap rings through my room. I shake my hand a few times and I look at Lance glaring.

"Get your f*****g hands off me" I snap at him

He gulps and slides back and stands up. I get up and walk to the door and open it running down stairs. 

"You ok?" Hunter asks

"I'm fine. Can I get some ice?" I ask him

"Sure" He says and comes back with some ice

I shove my tiny hand in the glass and sigh. Lance comes walking in and Hunter dies laughing.

"She smacked the f**k out of you" Allen says

"No s**t. My face hurts like a b***h" He grumbles

"You deserved it. Now mamma can we throw you a baby shower?" Allen asks

"Your boss got smacked and you wanna throw her a baby shower?" Lance asks

"Um duh" Allen says

"Of course you can. Nothing pink tho. I'm thinking purple" I tell him

"Done. Oh i'm excited" Allen says

Everyone looks at him like he grew two heads.

"What? I have nieces" He says shrugging

"Wanna babysit with me tomorrow?" I ask him

"Oh yes" He says smiling

"Food is done sweetie" Tom calls

I smile and jump up going to fix me a plate. I walk back over sitting down and Lance sits beside me.

"Oh those look good" He says reaching for my ribs

I growl and grab his hand twisting his arm around.

"Ow ow ow let go" He screams

"Leave my food alone your crazy physco" I hiss at him

"Ok. Just let go" He says

I drop his arm and everyone looks at me and I smile and go back to eating.

"never touch a pregnant womans food. Ever" Allen says

"How do you know this?" Another guy asks

"My sister. I almost lost fingers and a hand. She even stabbed me with her fork. I was bleeding and she wipes her fork off and goes back to eating with the same fork" He says shuddering

"Guess you will learn to keep your hands to your own food" I tell him

"When are you going to tell everyone?" Hunter asks

"I already texted everyone and they are on their way here now. So I'm going to tell them Saturday." I tell him

"Can we help with anything?" Gale asks

"I need to book the big room at the hotel. I need to get in touch with the caters and I need to go shopping for my outfit" I say

"I can do the hotel." Gale says

"I'll do the caters." Allen says

"And we can go shopping" Greg says

I nod and we finish eating and just hang out for a while before I fall asleep for the night. 

Time Skip

Today was the day I had to tell them all I was pregnant. I even invited the guys parents. I sighed and slid into the car and headed to the hotel. I had a little shawl over my dress so you couldn't see my bump. When I arrived I stepped out and headed inside to find everyone there and waiting on me. 

"Hi everyone" I say walking in

"Hi love" Dad says

"Can everyone line up here and face me" I say

Everyone lines up and Hunter and Greg stand on wither side of me and smile.

"Now I'm glad everyone could make it today and the food smells amazing. But there is a very important reason we are all here." I say

I look to Greg, Hunter and Brett and smile giving them a nod. Greg removes his jacket and his shirt says "I'm" Then Hunter removes his jacket and his shirt says "A" and the Brett removes his jacket and it says "Uncle". I remove my shawl and show them my baby bump.

"I'm pregnant" I shout

Everyone starts cheering and dad walks over to and hugs me tight.

"Where is Lance?" He asks

"He doesn't want to be with me but i'm keeping the baby" I tell him

"He what?" His mom shouts

"It's ok." I tell her

"It's funny you say I don't want to be with you. Cause i've wanted to be with you for years. I love you so much. So shut up and say yes" Lance says behind me

I spin around and he was down on one knee with a ring in his had. I gasped and swayed a little bit.
