Leo's pov

"Leo stop," Luna terrifyingly shouts. I have no idea how long I've been punching the wall of the waiting room. It's the only way, I can ease this guilt and pain that's eating me alive.

My knuckles are swollen, numb, and bloody from the damage I've done being here going out of my mind not knowing how to help myself besides hurt myself.  So much regret, anger, and anxiety runs through my body that's making me go crazy. It all happened too quick for me to even use my body as a shield to protect my heart. My leg being shot completely disabled me from being able to rush to her rescue. I feel like absolutely shit not being able to protect her like I've always done before.

I failed her. I failed my son.

Rios and East peek their heads form behind the building near the alleyway we're currently in. I saw their eyes widen in terror at what they're witnessing. They knew they had to act fast. However, it wasn't fast enough. I watched as the bullet Rossi released from the gun hit Madison on her back as she immediately turned around protecting our son from being shot at because that's exactly what Rossi aimed at. The bitch aimed the pistol at an innocent child. My child. Rios shoots Rossi twice on the head causing her to fall down harshly. The pistol in her hand flying away from her grip which East immediately grabs.

Madison instantly falls helplessly down to the ground unconsciously. For the first time in my life, I screeched from the excruciating pain my heart and soul felt. All the light in my life faded away as darkness took over my world once again. Becoming numb to the pain, I lurch towards Madison picking her up into my arms. So much blood bursted out from her back now staining my arms.

"Baby, please open your eyes please," I cry helplessly and vulnerably. I've never cried for anyone before in my life until now. The heartbreak and shock I'm feeling right now is almost too much for me to take. I'm loosing the love of my life in my arms.

"Someone call the ambulance," I screech hugging Madison tightly. I rub her stomach trying to feel any kind of movement from my son, but I get nothing. My heart shatters into a million pieces. Fearing the absolute worse.

"Oh my god, we were too late. We're so sorry boss. Fuck," East sighs as Rios calls the ambulance.

"Baby, please don't leave me. I need you please stay strong for me... for our baby please I love you so much," I sniffle realizing that waiting for the ambulance might just take too long. Madison and my son's lives depend on my actions.

"Help me carry her. We're taking her to the hospital ourselves. We can't waste anymore time. T-they're both dying," I hastily say wanting to break down at the last sentence, but I have to stay strong and do what I have to do to save their lives. There's no time to be weak and vulnerable right now.

They both need me to act.

East and I carry Madison into the car and immediately I shout for Diaz to step on the gas pedal. Every second counts. On our way to the hospital, I hold my entire life in my arms. Without realizing, I'm a crying mess as I stare down at her unconscious self. As much as I beg Madison to open her eyes, she doesn't just like our son. They're both silent and that's tearing me apart.

"If there's any god up there. If you're truly real please I beg you with all of my heart to save the both of them. They're both innocent. I'm the monster I deserve this not them. They don't deserve this at all," I sob kissing Madison's face. Her skin is so lifeless, pale, and cold.

"Please god, I'll do whatever you ask of me, but please save my heart and my son please fucking please," I murmur.

"We're here," Diaz hastily announces stepping on the break bringing the car into a harsh stop in front of the hospital. Immediately nurses rush out of the building with a bed helping us place Madison on it which they in a quickness rush her inside calling an emergency cesarean section. I follow behind them. However, the nurse closes the door preventing me from entering the room where Madison and my son were taken in.

"Move the fuck out of my way," I grit my teeth.

"Please sir, I know you're worried, but they're in the top line doctors hands just like you requested," the nurse softly says.

"I need to be there with them. I'm Leo Castillo," I scold.

"I know who you are sir please calm down I'm just doing my job. As soon as the emergency cesarean section is done. We will call you," she terrifyingly responds walking away.

"Boss please let them do their job. Their lives depend on them," Rios utters placing his hand on my shoulder, which I immediately brush off walking into the waiting room wanting to be alone. I let out a big shout full of anger and pain as I start punching the wall where I'm currently am right now.

I turn around leaning my back against the wall letting myself fall down to the ground wanting to rip my hairs out from my scalp from this torture I can't no longer take. It's been hours since the last time I've seen Madison.

"Sir, you must attend your leg please I beg you," the nurse utters for the millionth time since I got here and every time I respond, "I'm not moving from here until I see my wife and son," I grumble.

"Can you just attend him here please? I'll drop extra cash," Luna intervenes. The nurse nods turning her heel around. All of the red eagles are here in the hospital. Some inside monitoring everything that goes on and some outside monitoring the premises making sure everyone who enters or leaves isn't no threat to us.

"This is all your fucking fault," I angrily say standing back up clenching my fists wanting to hurt somebody badly.

"Look Leo I'm so sorry for everything that has happened, but how was I suppose to know she sneaked out?," Luna sighs frustratedly.

"If you would of payed more attention then you would of caught her in time," I angrily say.

"Stop making me feel so guilty Leo. I was feeling ill I wasn't in the right mindset," Luna retorts.

"Ill from what?," I raise a brow.

"I'm pregnant," Luna pointedly responds.

"What the fuck? By who?," I shockingly ask clenching my jaw.

"By me boss, we've been dating for months now," Diaz utters stepping up beside Luna. Anger is all I feel right now completely seeing red. I feel so betrayed by the both of them for keeping this behind my back and for breaking the no dating within the mafia law.

"You little sh-"

"Stop," Montoya steps in grabbing me from the arm to prevent me from launching at Diaz. I shove him to the side and immediately I have four red eagles holding me back from approaching Diaz.

"I'm going to ki-"

"Mr. Castillo take a seat, so we can attend your wound," the doctor cuts me off as he and his medical assistants set everything up.

"I don't fucking-"

"Your son is waiting for you as we speak," the doctor sternly says as he gives me a serious look. This immediately makes me calm down and not speak another word completely grabbing my attention. Did I just hear what I just heard?

"M-My son? How is he?," I hastily say being free from the guys as I limp towards the doctor.

"He was born an hour ago and is now fully safe from danger. He's stable you saved his life before all oxygen went out for him in the womb," the nurse notifies me. I huff feeling at ease knowing my son is away from danger and now completely safe and healthy. However, one question still remains inside my mind.

"And my wife? How is she?," I ask taking a seat on the seat letting the doctor and his assistants attend my wound. The doctor takes a deep breathe before he responds almost rehearsing on what to say, "As you know Madison was rushed to have an emergency cesarean section to save the baby's life. Madison being shot and with the c-section she lost a lot of blood. Luckily, we have her blood type. She's currently in surgery as we speak."

I don't even know how to react to this news. One part of me is happy that my son is now out of danger and entered this world safely without any complications. However, the other part of me is seriously wrecked over the news on Madison still being in danger. I have no idea what's going to happen.

"How is it looking?," I nervously ask unsure if I should even ask this. To be honest, I'm completely terrified of the answer.

"To be honest with you. She's not looking like she's going to make it."
