Now that that's done and over with, on with the story!!!

                "I hope you're ready for this" Tristan sighed and looked back at us from the passenger seat

I shrugged and looked out the window and stared up at my family home. It looked better than any other house in our neighbourhood. The outside was freshly painted on and the yard was mowed and the garden made the house look a little bit presentable.

Living in a run-down neighbourhood like Fallen Heights, it's a sight to see a 'standing' house when all you see when you look around are run down and pathetic excuses of homes. Some don't even try to fix up the area around them.

Pops turned the car engine off and turned so he was looking back at us...at me. Now that father and son was staring at me with worried eyes, I was starting to worry too, not for me but for the man sitting beside me in the back seat of Pop's car

I tore my gaze away from the men in front of me and turned to look at Silas. Squeezing his hand to get his attention, he looked down at me and smiled. I returned the gesture and brought his hand up to my face and laid his palm against my cheek.

"I apologize beforehand" He looked confused for a second, making my face soften.

If only he knew what he was getting himself into...he'd be half way across the world by now

"My family...they can be a bit-"

"Crazy" Tristan provided

I rolled my eyes at his word choice. That is kind of an understatement of the century. I sighed but nodded my head none the less. I looked up at the father of my unborn child

"Have you heard of The Vipers?" He furrowed his eye brows at my question

He nodded his head hesitantly and chanced a glance at Tristan and Pops who had on blank masks. I hate it when they do that, it makes things seem a lot worse than what it really is.

"Why do you ask?"

"My family is...well you see..."

"His sister's boyfriend who happens to be their foster brother is the current leader of the Vipers. Caleb, here, is the second in command of the group although they have a fault guy for that"

"Tristan" I snapped

I looked over at him and glared. He smirked and raised his hand in mock surrender while Pops lets out a chuckle and shook his head at his son. They can be so mean when they want to be. If they think they can chase Silas away...my eyes snapped to Silas at that thought. His eyes were wide with disbelief and confusion with a hint of fear. I smiled sheepishly at him and shrugged

"Silas-" I started

"Vipers, that's a lot to take in" He mumbled, leaning back into the seat

He laid his head back and let out a breath of air that sounded like a tired sigh. I looked at Tristan and Pops in concern but all they did was shrug and got out of the car. I frowned at that. I can't believe they're letting me deal with this by myself.

"Silas-"

"Will you be in constant danger?" He asked, cutting me off

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. A smile took over my lips and I felt myself get giddy at the concern he had over me. I stood up and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. Leaning down, I pecked his lips and smiled fondly at him

"You're so cute" I cooed, pinching his cheeks

Pinkish red shade sipped into his cheeks, making me squeal and hug him tight. He looks so adorable when he blushes. His arms snaked around my waist as he held me tight. He buried his head in my hair and sniffed me in, making me giggle and push away from him

"Did you just sniff me?" I asked, amused

The colour on his cheeks darkened and in an attempt to hide it, he turned his head away from me, making me laugh and kiss his cheek.

"Let's go, Bas isn't really a patient person" I joked with a wink

"Who?" He asked, following me up to the front door

I shrugged and took his hand

"I'll introduce you"

I opened the front door, only to shut it close when Easton stood there with a gun in his hand. I could almost feel the confusion Silas must be feeling. I felt him place his arm around my waist as he laid his hand on my hip. I felt his tensed body move closer to me before his lips brushed against the shell of my ear, making me shiver slightly

I looked up at him and tried to smile reassuringly but by the worry and slight fright on his face, I could tell it wasn't working.

"I think it's best if I go in first..."

He opened his mouth to disagree but I cut him off before he could even get a word in

"Foster brother...possible brother in law...gang leader. That means he owns a gun and has killed before"

His eyes widen and I'm pretty sure if he wasn't scared shitless before, he's scared shitless now. If it was even possible, his tensed body went completely rigid as he began sweating a little. I smiled sadly and turned to him completely and placed my hands on each side of his face

His bright blue eyes stared down at me with uncertainty. He brought his bottom lip into his mouth and bit into it, making me follow the action before moving back to his eyes. I gave him a small smile before leaning up and pecked his lips, making him relax a tiny bit

Emotion after emotion swirled around his light blue orbs making my heart clench. This man before me is so different from the bastard that called me a whore a few weeks ago. That man seemed heartless and acted like an asshole but the man before me seemed vulnerable and wanted love and attention from those he cares for.

With my thumb, I caressed the skin below his expression filled eyes and brought his head down so our foreheads were touching. His minty breath brushed against my face making me close my eyes

"I'm coming in with you" He whispered

I pulled back and stared up at him with wide eyes. Where fear once stood, determination conquered. I shook my head in amusement at the man before me

Its official

He has a death wish

"Silas-"

"No Caleb, you listen to me and listen well. Growing up, I've only ever had my mother. My father was a bastard who left his wife to fend for herself and the two toddlers in her care. I will not be like my father. I will be there with you...every step you take, I'll be there taking it with you. I'll be there to comfort you when you're having your morning sickness. I'll be there to tell you how beautiful you look with your round belly that carries my child...our child. I'll be there to rub your back, your shoulder and your feet. I'll carry the weight on your shoulders so you'll be carefree and live life like you're supposed to. And if you get tired of me and tell me to leave you alone, I'll take care of you from the distance because baby, I'm not going anyway. You're stuck with me" He finished with a smile. He sounded and looked so sincere that it was hard to hold back my tears

By time he had finished, I had a wet face and a blurry vision. Tears fell from my eyes like a waterfall. I shook my head and laughed a little before lunging at him and wrapping my arms around his neck and buried my face in the crook of his neck and let out sob after sob.

I felt his arms snake around my waist as he held me while I cried my eyes out

I'm sorry Caleb, but I can't be with you. You're too much baggage

You're beautiful and kind and loving but dating you is like dating your whole family. I just can't do that

Caleb, you're beautiful and smart and I really do like you but I don't think I can go on with this relationship. You have a lot on your plate and we're only 19 for god sake! I'm too young to shoulder that much responsibility. I'm sorry

That was the last relationship I had and like the ones before, they all dumped me because I had 'A lot going on'.

I distinctively heard the door opening before a very angry voice snapped at the man I was suffocating with my hug

"What did you do to him?!"

"Nothing, he just broke down"

I felt a hand grab onto my arm but before they could pull me off the man I'm on, I pulled my arm back as if their touch burnt me. I turned around and glared at Easton who stood there with a confused expression before he swiped his face clean and stood tensed and stoic in front of us

"Easton, go back inside. I need to collect myself before I can enter" I commanded, using my stern tone

He glared at Silas before looking at me with gentle eyes and nodded. He left us alone and closed the door behind him but not before sending a last glare to the man beside me. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. The tears that leaked from my eyes seemed to stop running.

A white handkerchief came into my line of vision making me giggle. I don't know why I did that but I just felt like laughing. I was about to take the cloth from his hand and clean my face when he shook his head and stood in front of me with a warm smile on his handsome face. He lightly dap my face and swiped the wetness from my face. At that moment I felt cared for and loved by someone that's not family. I blushed, a deep red colour, when he placed the slightly wet linen on my nose and told me to blow into it

"Silas" I whined

He shook his head and laughed

"Come on, Caleb. Don't be a baby and blow" He teased

I'm pretty sure I could be mistaken as a close relative of a tomato with how red I was. I knew for a fact I was red because of my pale skin. It makes blushing embarrassing because I got really red instead of slightly pink like the rest of my family

With a deep breath in, I blew into the handkerchief. He cleaned my nose up and pecked my forehead after he disposed of the wet linen into his front pocket. I smiled up at him as he returned the gesture. I felt my heart skip a beat as I swooned over the man in front of me.

What is this feeling?

It felt weird

A good weird

I've never felt this way before

My heart sped up its beats, making me panic slightly. I took a step forward and wrapped my arms around his waist and hid my face in his chest. With my face hidden, I took in a deep breath to calm down my racing heart. My breath hitched when I felt pain in my chest. I shut my eyes tight and tightened my arms around the toned torso of my boyfriend. His arms around me helped calmed me down and for that I was thankful.

When I calmed down a bit, I took a step back and smiled shyly at the taller and older man. He took my hand and squeezed it before opening the door and letting me in. I blushed and walked through the opened door and spotted my family in the living room, waiting for me to come in

Upon hearing us enter, all eyes snapped towards me. Mama stood up immediately and ran up to me and engulfed me in one of her famous bear hugs. I'm embarrassed to say that even my mother is taller than me as she placed my head on her bosoms. I closed my eyes and inhaled my mother's calming scent

"Oh my baby" She cooed "My poor baby boy, are you okay? Are feeling better? What did Garrett say? Are you hungry? Of course you're hungry. We were waiting for you, honey. Come on, everybody to the dining room for dinner"

She ushered me towards the room where the amazing aroma was originating from. I felt my face burn up when my stomach decided to make its presence known and growl like a pissed off dog. She giggled and patted my stomach before kissing my cheek

"Let's feed you before that monster in your stomach eat you instead"

I frowned at her choice of words and in that moment I remembered Silas. I stopped my mother from dragging me any further and pulled her back into the living room where Silas stood awkwardly while the men in my life glared hatefully at him. Heidi and Rhea just stared on in confusion

"Oh honey, who's this?" Mama asked in surprise, like she had just noticed him for the first time

I took in a deep breath before taking her hand in mine

"Mama, this is Silas; my boyfriend"

"Oh that's nice-"

"Yeah, the one who fucked and dumped him. I say we kill him and let Easton bury his dead body" Tristan snorted, cutting Mama off

As soon as those words left Tristan's mouth, her face turned blank while Silas' eye widen and colour drained from his face. I looked around the room and sighed

It's gonna be a long night
