Rayne pov,

I wake up to voices. I can tell who it is without opening my eyes. "Lucas? Dante?" I say in a horse voice. "Amore." I hear Lucas say. When I open my eyes, I can see that my little boy is fine, and Lucas is fine, too. Although they seem a little worn out, I have faith in their recovery. Dante runs over and stops in his tracks when I extend my arms. "Do not worry, sweetie; I will not get hurt." When I say this to Dante, he looks at Lucas as though he is requesting permission. Following Lucas's dismissive shake of his head, Dante approaches the bed and gives me an embrace.

"You can return home in a week; according to the doctor, everything went well," says Lucas. I shake my head and smile. I smile and give my son a head kiss as I look down at him. "So what did they say?" When I ask him, he gives me a nervous-looking look that I am not sure why. Luke, what is the matter? When I ask him, he inhales deeply.

"Well, the doctor says no major organs were damaged and that you and the baby will be okay." He says. My heart begins to race and my blood turns cold as soon as I hear the word "baby." I am positive it will burst from my chest at any moment.

"Did you say, baby?" I ask in a small voice. Lucas shakes his head while grinning. With a smile, Dante leaps up. "That means I will be a big brother, and I will protect it, and no one will lay a hand on my brother. And if it's a girl, she won't ever have a boyfriend." He says, grinning proudly as he turns to face me.

Lucas shook his head and laughed. "That's my boy." He pulls him into an embrace and says. Feeling like I am tired again, I shake my head and lay down again. "All right, my love, I am heading home with our boy. "You need to rest," Lucas says to me as he steps to kiss my forehead. "I will see you in the morning. I love you, Amore." He says, and I give him my goodbyes before bringing Dante in for a hug. "I love you, Dante. Be good. Listen to your father." I say, giving him a cheek kiss.

"Love you, mom." Dante says as he goes with his father.

Grinning, I turn to my side and cup my little belly. I can't believe I'm pregnant again. is the last thing that crosses my mind before I go to sleep.

Lucas Pov,

After an exhausting night at the hospital, we return home. I exhaled deeply as soon as I got out of the car. It feels good to be able to breathe again. When Dante and I enter, we find that everyone is still waiting. "How is she doing?" Sarah, her closest friend, asks me as I enter the living room.

"I am heading to bed, dad." Before I have a chance to reply, Dante says and bolts upstairs. I smile as I turn to face everyone.

"Both she and the baby are doing well." I say and turn and leave the living room before anyone can respond. I head towards my office to catch up on some work that needs to be done.

As I'm working away in my office, I hear a knock on the door. "Come in." I speak while keeping my gaze fixed on the pile of documents in front of me. "Hey dude," Mykel says to me. I glance up, set down the pen, and fold my arms across my body.

"What is going on?" He settles into the chair in front of me as I ask. "How are we going to handle the Russians now?" He asked me. I inhale deeply, recline in my chair, and spread out my arms.

"I am working on it," I replied.

It appears that we must find a solution. In addition to setting four warehouses on fire and stealing our firearms, they also killed twenty men while you and Rayne were at the hospital. Mykel states.

I yell as I propel myself off my chair, "Why did not someone call?" Mykel answers, raising his hands in surrender. "Your father advised me to hold off until we were aware of Rayne's situation. He said, "Before we bring this to your attention, you need to have your head straight." I also confirm that your head was not straight when she had surgery. Mykel says.

I wave my hand dismissing Mykel, and he gets up and leaves. I release and sigh and stand and walk over to the counter and grab a glass and pour myself a glass of whiskey.

I feel a burning sensation in my throat and run my hand across my forehead as I raise the glass to my mouth and drink. "What am I going to do?" I mumble to myself.

"Perhaps you ought to begin planning our plan to get rid of these dumbshits." I hear Korey utter. I turn to find Caleb and Korey standing in the center of my workspace. I give them a startled look. "When did they come in?" I think to myself.

"Guys, I have no idea how to stop them. This time I'm at a loss. Not only do I have to worry about myself, but Rayne Dante and my unborn child also need my concern. How am I meant to keep them safe?" I say, feeling lost as I glance at them.

"We always figure things out, Lucas, so do not give up." Stepping over to me, Korey says. "Yes, dude, do you really think I would allow anything to happen to my little cousin and your children?" Caleb says, slapping my back with his hand as he approaches me. I look at them and shake my head. "Okay, let's get started." I remark, approach the desk, and ask Mykel to come back in.
