Little fits of giggles awoke me from my sleep, making my eyes flutter open.

I looked over seeing Brian blowing on Adeya and Meadows stomaches.

I smiled and he looked over and smiled "You guys woke mommy!"

He leaned over and kissed me softly with a smile, making me deepen the kiss.

He pulled away and I looked over at Adeya who was reaching her arms up. I softly grabbed her and sat her on my chest making her smile.

I walked into the garage, seeing Brian watching the news report on what the hell happened with Hobbs at DSS headquarters.

"Authorities are still trying to determine the motive behind this daring attack here at the office of the US Diplomatic Security Service in downtown Los Angeles less than 36 hours ago. Facts are still coming in, but what is known is the suspect entered the building's fourth floor..." The news reporter ranted

He began running his hands through his hair, clearly
stressed.

I walked over and wrapped my arm around him and rubbed his shoulder.

He turned to me quickly and said "Hey." then returned his focus to the screen.

"You okay?" I asked

"Yeah...This guy's just relentless." He said stressfully

"That's why we need to take him down. He needs to know we aren't some fucking game. He will not do any more damage to our family." I replied sternly

"You know, I just..I've screwed up so many things. I couldn't live with myself if I screw this up, too," he said turning looking me in the eyes

"You won't," I said putting my other arm on his other shoulder

"I believe in you. I believe in us. That's all that matters...I love you, Brian." I said reassuringly

He leaned in kissing me and held my waist, "I love you, baby," he said with a low smile

"Just promise me, after this, we're done. No more jobs, no more enemies. We can't keep risking ourselves, I would hate for Adeya and Meadow to not have us."

"I won't let you down, Ana," he said pressing his forehead gently against mines

"I know," I replied

I began to cry as Brian handed our babies to Suki and Mia.

I just had them and now I have to leave them, all because some asshole waited until we were most vulnerable.

Brian wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead with glossy eyes.

"They're so cute! Make some more!" Suki joked making us laugh.

I wiped my eyes and looked at them one more time and touched their cheeks.

"We're coming back to you guys," I promised with tears again as we began to walk away not able to take the pain anymore.

I turned and said, "Please take care of them."

"You know we will," Mia said

I nodded and we began walking away, towards the front of the house where our car was waiting.

I began to cry and Brian turned to face me with tears now in his eyes too.

He wrapped his arm around me my waist and entangled his palm in my hair holding me close.

Savannah cried in my arms as I held her, while the pastor preached his sermon.

Gisele and Han's funeral came around too fast, and it was really taking a toll on Vannah.

I began to walk her over to a chair, sitting her down and she said, "Whoever did this to them...they're going to pay in blood."

I nodded and wiped her eyes "Best believe so."

I then walked back over to Brian, Tej, and Rome. Tears began flowing from my eyes, as I put on my sunglasses.

I stopped beside them and Tej said "I can't do no more funerals. First Han. Now Hobbs is laid up, of all people...We're being hunted. You know he's out there somewhere watching, right?"

"I hope so. Means he's close." I replied

I noticed Dom look off across the graveyard, making me follow his gaze, seeing two cars a Maserati and a Jaguar.

"Just promise me, Brian, no more funerals," Rome said making Brian look over towards him

"Just one more..theirs," Brian said harshly

I saw Dom begin walking to his car and I leaned over to Brian.

"Give me your keys."

"Where are you going?" he asked handing them to me

"With Dom," I said beginning to run off after them

I hopped in Brian's Skyline and began following after them.
