#A NEW HOME#

PREVIOUSLY

Dancing under the fairy lights with Mythias just gave me a wonderful giddy feeling like that of a school girl. My blush refused to leave and stayed prominent throughout the night especially with Mythias whispering sweet nothings in my ear until he had to leave for a call; an important one.

MYTHIAS POV

(5 MONTHS EARLIER; AT BUTTERCUP'S WEDDING)

"I expect everything is prepared-"

"What do you mean attacked?!... We will have to intercept. Gear up. Only 8 men, this is supposed to be my best friend's wedding which means he shouldn't notice I'm gone..."

Before I could hang the call from my security guys a firm grip on my bicep swivels me around.

"No way in hell are you coming with Alex-" I notice her baby blue eyes squint at me as she places both her hands on her hips making her belly protrude.

"Did I mention how beautiful-" and here I get cut off with Alex locking her arms around my neck. I embrace her in a tight hold wishing to never leave her side but not before I actively finish this one last job.

A major shipment of new gear had made it through to our warehouse only for it to be ambushed by another mafia on it's way to Italy! No it's not only the priceless weapons and heavy duty gear I'm after... in fact it's what is being kept inside the shipping container. Call it a family air loom soon to be given rightfully to my little ones.

If I ever get the chance to-

"How long...how long will you be gone Mythias..."

"...Mythias whose real last name is still a mystery to me...Hale, Pierceson, Jackass?"

"Thexton Maxwell. Mythias Thexton Maxwell, pleasure meeting you Alex Lorence"

Chuckling she shakes her head and pulls me in for a long much needed kiss.

It was all gentle, rough and sweet at the same time and as we pulled apart I place a soft kiss on the top of her head with a lingering promise to be back for her and the little ones... and for once to an awaiting family and home.

"What is this?" She asks as I dangle a set of keys in front of her and motion towards 2 bodyguards and a chauffeur to help her get settled in the car.

"To our new home love, I know I may be gone for a few-"She shuts me up by claiming my lips tenderly this time while caressing my jaw and cheeks.

"Come back in one piece will you Mythias? And know that we look forward to seeing you soon-" at this point she rubs her belly and gets on her trippy toes to whisper "...I love you Mythias Thexton Maxwell"

On hearing those words I make a pact to myself that this will not be the last time I hear her say those words to me...for I will be back and eventually time will tell...it always does.

Present day (5 MONTHS OR SO AFTER BUTTERCUPS WEDDING)

ALEX'S POV

After humming a soft tune to one of my angels Nicolas, I walk towards the trouble maker of the two; Dean.

"You going to be keeping me up all night aye bubba" I brush my nose against his and peck his cheek earning a hum from him. Gently caressing his raven coloured hair identical just like his twins' I rub his back soothingly waiting from him to doze off. -

I smile softly as I place a sleeping Dean in his cot admiring his cute locks that resembles Mythias'. Checking over them once more I quietly exit the room leaving the door ajar.

It's been roughly 5 months since Mythias left after I gave birth to two healthy baby boys. We moved into a new house together with Buttercup and Elaine as they are now expecting. As for Mythias, let's just say we are going to bring him back home.

Walking downstairs I meet the twins Wilson and Nathan all geared up and to my left I see Buttercup setting the last things of our weapons. I give a reassuring smile to Elaine and rub her growing bump.

"I'll make sure we'll be back to see this little one. And please tell Buttercup if he gives my little ones gifts that it preferably be toys not explosives, thanks Elaine" I chuckle as Buttercup looks at me worriedly.

And just as Elaine begins to scold Buttercup I rush with my duffel bag to the SUV and settle with the Twins, Lester, Jake and Harley; who has been trained to perfection alongside me.

"Comms are set, he told us his exact location on the Yacht and that is why we will be dropping onto it, no swimming" Jake states while showing us where Mythias is held by The Red Knights. It's all thanks to Jace for his call. If I didn't know better I'd say he's most likely gone. But in exchange I had to make him a promise now all I have to do is hold up my end.

"What's the exit strategy?" Asks Lester to which the twins give chuckles and drop down fearlessly followed by Princess (Harley). I roll my eyes at Lester and just before I leap Lester beats me to it, that meaning by him being shoved off by Jake.

Adrenaline rushing through my veins, blood pumping in my ears and my breath all caught up in my lungs... Please let me land in one piece!

Thud. Thank goodness!-

"Let's go blow some shit up!"

"Amen" The twins reply in unison and all hell broke loose...
