Chapter 13

Dimitri and Darla was a very busy bee Saturday morning so many helpful hands running around setting up at the park for Isabella's big day what she thought would be a smallish affair was turning out to be a lot grander than she ever thought possible. They had enough resources for the entire town and than some, which was a good thing since that's who Dimitri and the girls invited. Xavier looked around the guys and him wanted to sneak off a little early to see if they needed help his cousins Sean, Hunter, Ethan, and Damien came with Cameron. Standing there with their mouths hanging open on some of the rides and the dance floor being placed. The food vendors and caterers were rushing.

"Dimitri what the hell happened to the small party she thought she was getting you got a street fair going on here." Zain asked shocked. "Dude, how much is this all this going to cost." Ryder said his hands going up to his hair. "Oh dear boy you lucky you so damn cute. Some of the companies have sent some rather generous checks to do something special and fun for our dear girl a couple of them will be present tonight like everyone she has shares with Aria's bosses, Travis, Mr. Wiltmen, some other guest appearances later. Bells is not paying for one little thing besides I'm covering half the bill." Dimitri said proudly. The guys looked up at him with open mouths. "Please do you know who my boss, I learned enough from her on how to make and save money, trust me boo this won't even make a dent. Besides last year she shut down Thunder down Under just for me for the whole weekend party on my birthday. This is a normal thing for us to do. Now go get ready I got this, party starts soon." Dimitri said pushing them off the park sidewalk.

"Did you guys see some of the rides?" Sean said getting excited. "Did you see the twenty pods they had set up for the virtual reality games those aren't suppose to be for another two years." Cameron said back, already texting his friends the pictures he just took. "So Xavier how much does the wrist bands cost, I've been saving up." Ethan asked. "No, little man. It's not the street fair that whole set up is for Bella's party today. It don't cost anything to get in there you can eat what you want as much as you and play whatever you want. Just promise me you'll stay in a group if your not going to be with your parents, we don't know a lot of these people coming ok." Xavier said showing how serious he was to all of the kids near him.

The Knight family decided to just come see her before Bella was going to head out to the park to give them her gifts with a small cake just for them to share with her they ordered from Ms. Ellie. They all pulled up with the guys and Dimitri and the girls were pulling as much things in the house as they could the whole wrap around porch was filled all the way around in gift bags, wrapped presents, and flowers with six different types of delivery trucks still unloading. The whole family mouth's dropped looking at the seen around them. "Damn Xavier your girl gets around look at all that love flooding your porch man." Damien said. "Maybe I should give this to her another time." Callen said starting to feel a little weird giving her a simple gift he made. "Trust me man, she's going to love your gift more than way over half these gifts. Trust me." Dre' said.

"Thank God you guys are here please help us take these anywhere they will fit. The guest rooms, the garage anywhere." Leah begged. "Leah stop this is just going tot take awhile leave a note on the door for any other drops to place in or on the garage I will hire a security guard to come and take care of this for me. Hello family." Bella said in her cute Sally dress. Hugging the huge group in front of her. This is so sweet and wonderful." She said smiling at everyone Welcoming them in the back yard which had more space for everyone to stretch and sit. The sang to her and cut her cake which she loved. Opened the presents most of them hand made.

Sean and Hunter welded her some flowers shaped things. Ethan, Mathew and Colt got her some wolf blankets for the guest rooms, and her bed. Cameron and his friends made her three photo album of every picture they could find form everyone in the last four years she's been drifting back and forth. Ironically there were lot's of pictures with her and Xavier. Aria made her a calendar with the group shots she was in with the whole Knight family. Enzo and Leon got her new fishing gear but hand painted Tim Burton characters on the pole and tackle box. Damien made her a metal charm bracelet to represent some each section of the family, he made one for all the women in it. Callen made her a snow glove with glitter, with her in the middle howling at the moon, with a couple of wolfs howling back in the distance and two owls flying over her.

"Callen the art work is incredible." Xavier said as he observed it with Bella who was smiling deeply. "I remembered talking with you about how sometimes you had to be away and sometimes it got a little lonely when you got there, so I made you this to remind you that even when you feel like a lone wolf while you have to be gone, your wolf pack family is not as far as you think, and someone is watching over you." He said proudly. Tears just rolling off her face she was just hugging him tightly to her. "Well hell thanks to you kids might as well just set all this other crap on fire." Dimitri said as everyone laughed hard. Wiping tears off her face.

"So we still have a good hour and half before we have to leave for the party Bella. What do you need us to do?" Hailey asked sweetly. "Well I don't have room for half this crap, so could you guys just help me open everything so I can see what I'm dealing with." She asked. Everyone got up and were left quiet impressed with mot of the gifts. Appliances. Laptops, Ipads, new cell phones coming on the line. Clothes from fashion designers all over the place. About three new T.V's, DVD players. She loved the vintage record player of course form Zebby which she gave to Jayden who hooked it up in the living room.

"Babe, what are we going to do with all this?" Xavier said looking lost. "We got ten laptops and like twenty damn tablets alone." Maddie said. "Ok well can you use them for work?" Bella asked. "I think we can take about four laptops, and ten tablets and be set we can just be digital when we start back up. Yeah baby that could work." Xavier said shaking his head." "Well what about one of the T.V.s could you put in a waiting area?" Rylie asked." "That would be so cool." Dre' said smiling. "Yeah we can do that. We could also take the spare microwave, airfryer, and that big ass coffee system you just got that we all know you aint going to use." Zain said in a teasing tone that made everyone laugh. "Other than that babe. What do we do?" Xavier asked scratching the back of his head.

"Ok, so everyone please do me a huge favor take anything I do mean anything not homemade and please just take it home with you. I will be donating everything else for raffles where money from tickets will go to both the fire station and local police event coming up in the next few weeks. Whatever you don't grab will be donated." Bella said in her formal tone. "Bella honey that is just too much you can't mean that." Kelly said. "No, auntie she deadly serious." Cameron said as he by grabbing four of the new cell phones, and the laptop, and four tablets. "What we going to college, we need these things." He shrugged. "I need that T.V." Lamar said with a laugh. Pretty soon everyone took what they could. With so much left. "Ok, let's go party y'all!" Leo hollered and everyone loaded up to the park.

"It's my personal privilege of pulling the short straw no I'm just kidding but really to get us started e are here to gather tonight one of my favorite people of all time. A very annoying sister as seen to by some, like me. An amazing friend by many. An incredible person or angel to all. Words could never say why most of us are here to honor you tonight, for many reasons I don't think some of those words could ever be truly enough. I met this woman along with a handful of others college, back when we were all just a wreck for many reasons. A time when none of us thought we could get anywhere, or questioning all of our life choices. It was this one woman who pulled all of us through and got us to be where we are today and we would just be a mess without her. SO I would like to welcome up the wonderful birthday girl whom I am eternally grateful for having the honor to know to keep on nagging me until were old and grey. Ms. Isabella Alderman Everyone." Nacho said everyone cheered, hooted, and hollered and shouted like crazy as she walked up the steps hugging him tightly whispering thanks you, and loving teasing thing back to him in his ear, as he stepped down to go back to Mel, and the group of friends surrounded by the Knight family and others.

"Never did I think I could turn up in amazing small town. Well what came off to as small, wouldn't think that looking out to all of you now wooo." She laughed shaking her head looking at everyone. Never did I think I would make it out here in a fresh start and meet so many amazing people. The great Dr. Hernandez mentioned us meeting in college. Sometimes in those times we would set out on random road trips. I have met a lot of amazing people along my way of coming to where I am right now. Whether it be work related, or through friends, or just fate's chance on the journey along the way. The road I have taken was one bound and determined to keep throwing me twists, dead ends, some times even needing to make a few u-turns. I realized once I got here in my mission for a fresh start why I was doing this, it was because at my age after all this time I guess I still felt lost hoping to find that something missing and most of you know what I'm talking about and if you don't, than that just means you have yet to find it too but don't worry because soon enough you will find it. I was lost coming here, I didn't realize I was until one day I felt like I got found." She said looking around the crowd. Never has she had a chance to get to be this honest and say what she felt to others so she taking the chance now.

"I found my friends who never left me. I found more wonderful people to work with. I found new people who helped me, more than I helped them. I found a family I can make for my own, and even some who welcome me into theirs. I found love that just moves me heart and soul. Most of all after what feels like years of looking I found myself and I want to thank each and everyone of you, because with out knowing you I don't think I could have ever have gotten this far. Thank you for being apart of my life, and my special day please enjoy your night." She said as she blew a kiss to the crowd who stood cheering.

"Greta speech baby girl." Xavier said lifting her chin with his fingers and kissing her deeply. Everyone still cheering. "Let's go dance!" Zain hollered and the group made it's way to the dance floor. Dancing for about an hour Aria came up with a man who was visibly nervous. The family all staring in the surrounding long tables enjoying the food brought to them as they were in a V.I.P area with servers. "Everyone I would like you to meet my boyfriend Trent Turner. Trent this is my family." Aria said spreading her hand around to the crowd of people in front of him. He gave a wave of his hand a big smile. "Since when did you get a boyfriend?" Emma asked. "Well as of a couple days ago we've been seeing each other for a couple of months now, and finally thought it was time to call it official." Trent answered back. "Well than get introduced around and let us get to know you a little bit." Dante told. Something about the boy felt nice. He had a good feeling about him. He's seen him around and knew him for the most part, it being such a small town and all. Once he got through the family he came up to Bella who happily shook his hand.

"Ms. Alderman happy birthday." He said with a nervous smile. "I know you. You work as one of the main mangers for the Phoenix Advertising. I remember you now how are you." "I'm fine ma'am thank you for asking I didn't know you were so close to the Knight family. It feels kind of nice having a friendly face, I am a bit nervous." He said taking a deep breath. "You should be we a very tight bunch." Xavier said coming up to Bella placing his arm around her waist. "I'm Xavier Knight oldest of all the kids and if you hurt my baby sister, or piss off my woman they will never find your body." He said with a growl. "Stop it baby, be nice he's a good guy, who must really love Aria to come here and do this in front of all of you at once now play nice." Bella said slapping his chest. "Xavier!" Aria snapped in embarrassment. "What? My statement stands. So how old are you?" Xavier asked taking a drink from he's soda.

"I'm twenty-seven. I work as one of the top heads of the advertising part of the firm, for the last ugh." Trent was having trouble thinking for a minute being nervous. "Three years. It was three years ago. Trent had one the best applications I have seen in such a long time from someone so young I was quiet impressed. Thanks to him that firm has tripled the numbers most people can't even get half way to in Bellbrook. It drives them nuts with envy and I love it. He is a very hard working, funny, respectable, and loyal man and you should be proud your sister has someone like him on her arm tonight Xavier so be play nicely." Bella said. Making Aria beam with happiness. While Trent just stood there with his mouth opened.

"You know Ms. Alderman we didn't really think you would remember any of us that fondly." He said so in shock that someone could think so highly of his work, when he was just one of many ants in the unit. "Well I remember those who are worth remembering. I still hear nothing but great things. Keep up the great work, I'm rather proud of you guys. Xavier let's go look around a bit and let them enjoy their night. I'm so happy to see you guys here thank you so much for coming." Bella said dragging him along. "I can't believe our boss knows who we are, like crazy right?" Trent said. "See I told you, were amazing. Let's go get better known with the rest of the family." "Alright." He said taking a deep breath and following her lead.

As they were looking around at all the things Mel, Dimitri, and Bella were talking to some of the kids they helped with in the hospital wings about their face make up they had done. "Xavier do you think I could bend your ear for a minute?" Rylie asked coming up next to him as one of the kids he was talking to ran off. "Sure thing sis." He said standing up. "I was wondering if maybe I could give you my application for a receptionist at your shop." She asked quietly. "You want to quit teaching?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Well kind of see I went to a meeting a couple days back and the principal and the staff seem a little bit bitchy since they don't understand if I'm such good friends with the investor why I can't talk her back into investing again and sweep everything under the rug. I reminded the principal that it was his decision to call that meeting in the first place to call out the ethics of the scholarships to begin with the fact that he himself didn't noticed all the wrong doings that went along with that falls back to only him. That didn't go to well so if I try to go anywhere else than their going to know why I quit this job I don't want them asking me to come begging Bella to be an investor, so I thought I have a business degree maybe you need someone to keep you organized with all the new business coming your way." She said flatly.

"Does Jayden know your asking this, because I got all three of them as managers to help me hires and other things. I will be needing someone for sure. I'd love to have you on with us. Thank you and I'm sorry your changing career's over so you make sure no one uses my Bella. I love you even more for that I know this can't be easy for you." Xavier said as he gave her a quick hug. "I would do anything for her she has been through enough. Bella set us up with more money than we know what to do with when we graduated I still am just surviving off what I work for. The other girls too, besides our houses and our cars that is. SO I really appreciate this job. Let's not tell anyone until you open though. I want to see the look on Jaydens face when he see's he has to put up with me all day and night." She said with a smirk. "I promise no having sex, in my shop though." Xavier said in teasing voice. "Fine, you Debbie downer." She said back.

The night went by quickly Carter and the guys even got to steal three dances from the girls. Bella had informed him she had a lot of stuff to donate and was going to have the fire guys come collect with a U-HAUL. "Are you sure, I can come out with my guys and take care of it for you." Carter said taking a drink from his water. "I really don't mind coming out to your place and helping you Bells." Carter said flashing his million dollar smile. "That's alright, Anderson we got more help than we need." Xavier said coming up to Bella making her smile deeply.

"Thanks for the offer, but the Chief already said he was going to be bring people for me. I don't know who they are I just know it will be soon. Honey I'm tired." Bella said leaning her chest into Xavier's. "You done here baby?" She nodded with a tired smile. "Well let's get my baby home than, hope you aint too tired I got another gift to give ya." He whispered loudly in her ear nibbling on the lobe. Forgetting people were around them lost in their little moment she smiled looking up and pulling away from him. "Well let's go than and you can show me what you got." She whispered softly back to him. Carter just waved them off, trying to hide his hatred for the man taking off with the woman who haunts him mind, body, and soul.

The next morning the couple was woken up to the sound of the cell phone. "Hello." Xavier grogged out. Still cuddled up and entwined with Bella's little frame. "Hey boy I know you going to getting ready to pack up but we got us some summer rain coming in hate to tell you, you aint going camping this week. That being said Isaiah needs help fixing his roof a little bit got your uncles, Damien coming we going to need your help too kiddo. How fast do you think you can get over there?" Dante asked. "I can be there soon. I'll get up and get dressed now." He said as he hung the phone. Bellas phone started ringing.

"Baby your phone's ringing." He said nudging her a little. "Tell them I'm dead." She said through her hair in her face. He chuckled out. "Ms. Aldermans phone." He said with his raspy voice. "Good morning. This Fire Chief Greg, I just wanted to know if it would be ok if I brought my team to come gather up the donations in about maybe an hour? Also if you know how big of a U-HAUL she would suggest we bring." He said in happy voice. "Oh hey Greg, it's Xavier. Look it's a lot of things so maybe like two medium trucks should do it maybe your team could put some in their trucks as well you should be fine hopefully." Xavier said as he was moving around. "It's good to hear from you boy. I heard about you expanding, excited for you son, it's about time. Alright than we get us them two than. Can you send me the address?" "Don't need to Chief she the house out on Moonlight Rd. down the way there. You can't miss us just make sure you back up to the garage it's about a three car garage and you can pull both the trucks up there. Don't forget there's two guest rooms filled with stuff too." Xavier said.

"Damn you kids sure you want to give it all for us to make baskets out of? Seems like and awful lot." Chief asked a little nervous. "Take it all Greg, it's all the things she don't need but knows others can you. You know how big a heart Bella got." Xavier said with a deep smile, running his hand down her face. "Yeah you got yourself a great one right their son, you better hold onto her tight. There are some damn vultures floating around even here waiting for girls like her to get singled up. We'll be there soon." "Ok drive safe Greg." Xavier leaned down as he was ready to go. "Hey baby you need to get up you got people coming probably trying to come to snatch you away from me. I got to go to my Uncle Isaiah's house we got rain coming he needs to fix his roof up a little, and camping out of the question with the little rain coming." He said kissing her face softly.

"Ok I'm getting up leave the door's unlocked. Please open the garage doors, on your way out. I'll get dressed real quick, and start taking the gift from the guest rooms out. Dimitri had gotten it down to one room I should have done by the time they get here. PLEASE be careful." She said as she finished dressing and tossing her hair up in a high pony tail. "OK, baby. Be good. Call if you need anything." He said kissing her goodbye, making her blush deeply, loving the effect he had on her. Making his way to his truck he left. There all done she said to herself as six trucks and Two medium U-Hauls came pulling all over her dirt rounded driveway that to the right side you would be at the garage. Smiling deeply she waved at all the guys coming out of the truck.

"Chief it is good to see you." She said as she came around hugging him and kissing his cheek. "It's good to see you bright eyed and bushy tailed. Let me introduce you to Chief Anderson of the police force here in town. He wanted to come show his gratitude the same as I did. It means a lot for us." Greg said showing the Chief. "Ms. Anderson it is a pleasure to meet you. I hear so many great things about you, and now I'm starting to learn why. Please call me Ryan. Got to say I am very surprised you so full of energy, after that big shing ding last night. Happy Birthday by the way." He said shaking her hand. "Oh thank you so much please call me Bella. Well I do love the fresh morning air that comes with that sunset. I do love my view. So let's get these men to work." She said clapping her hands together happily.

"Alright you lazy bums let get to work. So What do we have Bells?" Greg asked. "Well I actually have it organized out. Anything electronical, or appliances Go along here. All of the rest is not considered perishable, but some is considered fragile, and this envelope is filled with certificates like spa days, or sports tickets things like that." She said giving the fat envelope to Ryan looking into it wide eyed shaking his head. "Well Bells never a dull day with you is there?" Eli said laughing. "Hey guys what are doing here?" She said hugging them kissing their cheeks. "Did you forget we cops Bells oh the feelings." Liam said holding his heart faking he was hurt. "Carter come on son, get to work so we can get out of poor Bella's hair." Ryan said with a wink to her. Making her smile.

"Dad this is my friend I told you about Bella." Carter said looking his dad in the eye. "Oh you're the Bella. Got to say you and your friends sure put an impression on my boys here. Please send my love to the girls. Get to work." He said smacking Nate of the chest. "So violent Chief, see what they do to me Bell's." Nate said playing victim. One of the guys came up to her and hugged her deeply kissed her cheek. "Bryce, I was hoping you'd pop up here with them." Bella said happily as he put her back down on the ground. "I am too, I was hoping to see Xavier here though where my boy at?" He said looking around. "He went to one of his Uncles he needed help today, so he's off doing that. Family first." She said happily.

"You can always come back out and see us we'd love to have you over when you like to, I'm sure Xavier would love it." She said. "There she is." She heard a loud voice come through the garage as two strongly built guys took turns passing her around in a hug. "I''m so happy to see you guys here. Jordan, Eric how are you?" She asked happily. "a little hurt not to see your man, but happier to see you. Thanks for doing all this by the way. " Jordan said looking around. "Yeah we will definitely be back to see you guys maybe have a little cook out that's a freaking wicked ass set up you got over there." Eric said. Ryan and Greg both slapped him behind his head. "watch your mouth boy." Ryan said. "Better get to work before you get the switch too." Jordan said with a chuckle.

"Didn't know you was going to be here Bryce." Carter said with a bit of distaste in his mouth. "Yeah well, just trying to do my part to help out. Someone has to be here to make sure you also stay in your own lane." Bryce said in a lower angry tone where only they could hear it. Both men glaring at each other. "Not sure I know what you mean." He said in a smug smirk. "I think you do playboy. Better watch your toes remember you in another mans house right now. Got to be killing you looking at all these happy pictures though huh." He said as both of them looked around to the happy couple pictures, and pictures of Xavier's family and their friends. Carter glared back at him going back to the task at hand.

The guys all got done quickly all out of breath when it came to the exercise equipment. "You guys please everyone help yourselves to the drinks in the fridge there's everything in there." "Hey Bells you got a bathroom I could use before we head on out?" Carter asked. "Yeah come just through here." She said opening the door. "Hold up I want to jump on that train too, man I'm about to bust." Eric said running up behind them. "Ok Carter you can come right in here. Eric two doors down to the right is the other guest bathroom." She said as she turned and grabbed Bryce into her office. "Hey I was hoping you could take these with you." She handed him a check that was about ten thousand a piece. "Bells are you sure? You've done so much you don't have to do this." Bryce said trying to give them back.

"No, this is to go to supplying your guy's departments new equipment, paying for better hours. You guys put your lives on the line for the town you should at least be given as much protection we can offer right? I don't want anything bad to happen to any of you. If you guys need anything else you come and tell me or Xavier and we'll make sure you get it. Understand me." She asked him leaving no room for arguments. "Yes, boss lady. I hear you. We really appreciate and thank you for all this Bella seriously thank you." He said coming up to hug her tightly again. They made their way to the hall again in time to see Carter looking like he was looking into her bedroom.

"Carter?" Her voice filled the room. Eric and Bryce now joining her side. "What you doing there?" She asked calmly as the two friends stood closer to her, starring him down. "I was looking for you. You took off this way when you showed us the bathrooms." He said looking at her confused. "Oh you know you're right. Sorry did you need something?" She asked relaxing a little bit now visibly even though she was still a little on alert with him, feeling that should be weird he would venture to her room and not back with the others. "Well yeah I still need help making those phone calls and was wondering when you have the free time?" He asked voice filed with niceness.

"Well ok since it's going to rain, looks like I will be here Tuesday at that lunch at the diner, if you're still free?" She asked. "Yeah that's perfect. I will see you than. Thanks again for everything Bells it means so much to all of us." He said looking at he other two guys he just went back down the hall to where others where leaving." She looked up to the other two guys who were looking down to see if she was ok. "I'm not passing judgement, but was that weird to you guys too?" She asked. "Yes, judgement needs to be passed that brother got some issues thinking it's ok to just peak in a woman's bedroom uninvited." Bryce said in a protective tone. "OK let's just uh, get back to the others. I'm ready to lock up and get back to some work and wait for Xavier to come back home." She said her body couldn't help but shiver at the uncomfortable feeling that came over her for a moment.

Everyone thanked her as they left Jordan, Eric, and Bryce came up to her. "You know we could always stay back and hang out." Jordan said with a smile. "Look guy's I'm ok really. Go on get back to work or home or wherever it is you guys are going. I got cameras everywhere. I got some other things inside this house that will keep me good I promise I'm ok. Thankyou for the worry though." She said hugging them sending them on their way. Locking up the house she wen tot her office and got lost in reading contracts and papers shaking the feeling of weirdness that washed over her.

"Come on now you dip nut just hand me the last shingle." Roman said to Lamar. Everyone laughing at the lovely terms of endearment the brothers have been sharing with each other all day. "Man you really feel the love around you guys when the women aren't around." Damien said making everyone laugh harder. "At least this finished. Hailey will finally be happy got it fixed before the rain actually comes this time." Isaiah laughed. "I think that one over there looks a little loose still." Roman said. "Yeah that don't look to safe there." Lamar said. "I'll check it." Noah said. Walking over to the spot next to the edge. "There, it's fixed." He said as he was getting ready to turn back to start getting down off the roof as the rest of the guys were making their way down Xavier was the second one down behind his dad.

"What the fuck!" Xavier saw two fighting squirrels slam straight onto Noah's face and body as they were still scratching each other. They watched Noah fall off the second story roof, his whole body bounced twice, and his leg flopped in the most unnatural way. Making everyone panic over to him. Dante calling an ambulance Xavier talking to him. "Did that really just happen?" Noah asked looking at him. "Yeah that just happened. "I'll call Auntie Emma. I'm sure Aria can run over and watch the boys." Roman said. "I'll call Aria now." Damien said. Few moments later the ambulance came and got him and they all went to the hospital. After X-rays and consult Noah had to go a surgery where they needed to put a bolt in his knee to hold it back together to heal. He would need to be in a back and neck cast for at least a week, or until the soreness calmed down.

Bella came in the room with Kayla. The nurse pulled the Emma to the corner, where the whole family could still hear. "Mrs. Knight, I just need to run some things by you. Now your insurance for your kids I want you to know is air tight and great it covers everything. However for you and your husband it's not the same. There is a bit of a copay that some important things are not covered and we will need to know how you would like to go about payment options." The nurse said holding a clip board. "Well ok how much is the copay?" She asked. "About thirty thousand rounding up. Don't worry too much this is a copy of everything we are doing we will have to keep him here for about three days he will learn how to use the crutches and the insurance covers all the physical therapy. Anesthesia, pain medicine, everything he needs and is being given is right here." The nurse said as she went through the list explaining everything on it. "Ok well can we do payments, or work out a scheduled arranged payments?" Emma asked starting to tear up a little. Wondering if she can pick up so more hours at work while the boys were out for summer.

Bella looked at Xavier, Xavier looking back at her. "If you have to think twice I will smack the shit out of you." Bella said in a harsh tone. Xavier looked at her with a smile. "Are you sure?" He asked again running his hand down his face. "Move that ass." She said with that look that left no room for argument. "Did I tell you how much I love you today?" He asked her getting up. "Tell me later. Handle that now" She said pushing him away. The Knight brothers all surrounding the nurse. "Do you take credit cards?" Dante asked her. "We do. We can split it anyway you need to." She said trying to be as polite and informative as possible.

Xavier put down the black card with his name on it. "Any and Everything he needs you charge that card, and that one only." He told the nurse. Who's mouth dropped. "Yes sir, I will be right back." She said as she went to turn to leave. Stopping her from walking away. "Keep this card on file, we don't want to see any bill pop up later, any and everything that may pop up gets put on that card alone. He said as she just nodded. "Honey are you sure. I can pay you back." Emma started rushing out. "Aunt Emma I strongly suggest against that. She may as well just break your fingers trying to give it back." Xavier said with a laugh. "Son you sure this ok?" Roman asked. "You going to go over there and argue with her you be my guest, let me know first so we can get this on video though." Xavier said looking at him.

Kayla and Dante already hugging on Bella. "Thank you for being here and everything else." Dante said a little teary eyed. "Thank you so much for helping my little brother." Dante said. "Will he need help at home?" "No the boys are old enough to take care of themselves, and he's got all of us to get him to the doctor and physical therapy. They said in about two months he should be good, and bounced back." Lamar said encouragingly. Emma just hugged on Bella. "You are our god send in so many ways, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for each one." She whispered in Bella's ear. "I do have one thing to ask of you guys." Bella said in a curious tone. "Anything child what do you need?" Hailey asked. "Did any of you happen to get it on video?" She asked curiously in a respectful way. Everyone looked at each other and started busting up laughing. "No we didn't get the chance, but damn if it wasn't the craziest damn thing to ever see." Dante said laughing with his brothers too hard.

Xavier had to control his laughter when his phone rang. "Hey man how you doing?" He said turning to the back to the wall starring at his family at a bit of distance so he can hear better. "Yo, bro how you doing?" Bryce asked on the other end. Xavier told him where he was and why. Laughing a little hard Bryce had to control himself. "That's wild dude. So hey man I was part of the crews that came to your house today, Jordan, Eric, and I were bummed to not see you. I just wanted to let you know officer douche squad was there too all four plus the king of them. Yup that's right Bella got to meet Ryan today. Don't worry too much though we made sure they stayed in their damn lane. You're woman heart so damn bug and pure to those evil little bastards bro, seriously."

Bryce took a deep breath shaking his head. "Did that prick try anything?" Xavier growled lowly. "Now in a big obvious way ,but he did freak her the fuck out just before we left. He and eric needed to use the bathroom right so she took both to the hall she put him in he first one according to Eric and he was at the one closest to your room I guess that's what Eric said. Bella came back to where we were and brought me into her office, which is amazing by the way. She gave us some checks, for donations and we talked for a minute and came right back out maybe like seven minutes in her office right, with the door opened mind you. When we walked out, Eric was able to walk right up to us, but Carter looked like he was looking in your room. He said he was just looking for her he had some questions. When she showed him the way that was the direction she went." Bryce said taking another deep breathe.

"She just answered his questions made a lunch date for Tuesday, but man you should have seen here she was weirded out. She could wait to lock up. I just wanted to let you know. We all had a bad feeling. She said she was just going to lock up and work in her office until you came home. I just can't get over this feeling though dude it wasn't setting to right for me. Just because he was looking like he was looking into the room doesn't mean he couldn't have been just getting out of it you know? If I were you I would be looking for anything out of place, he's a weird dude don't forget to check her underwear drawer. If she caught a ride with your mama and she went to work when we left that would mean nothing would be moved unless he was in there man." Bryce said in a worried voice. "I got man thank you for calling me and letting me know aint no way she going to tell me or be worried about any of that right now, not here. I'll make sure to get her distracted enough to check thanks man." Xavier said exhaling slowly trying to get his anger in check.

"I'm getting real tired of this damn fool fucking with me man. It's one thing to fuck with me, but not my woman. Bryce I fought so long to get her, aint no way in hell I'm willing to let her go now. I need her man. I love her. Thank you guys for looking out today." Xavier said. "Hey man we know what she means to you. You deserve that love and happiness. We just want the best for you Xav. Well catch you later. Well see you later man. We got to run on call tonight it's my turn to do the damn dishes." Bryce said with a deep laugh. Hanging up. Trying to put away his anger, so it doesn't go to the wrong person. He went back to his family and just focused on the moment.
