"Are you coming with me and the others to meet My'esha and Leon's friends?" X asked Riley, and she nodded.

"Yeah. I need to scoop them out, you know. Before you say anything, I know I was the one that wanted them to come. And X, I'm telling you the face masks are doing you justice." Riley said as she began touching his cheek. He glared are her, nicely removing her hand.

"What the fuck you trying to say, Riley? I didn't look good before?" He raised a brow, making her roll her eyes.

"WHAT!?Of course not X. But your face looks shiner, and it's smoother than before." She said, making him nod his head, kissing her.

"Before they get off the jet, I want to warn you guys about them. It's nothing too bad... Junie and TJ are in a relationship along with Bre'sha and Dion."

"Okay... That's not a warning My'esha. What not telling us about?" Riley said, looking at Leon.

"Just to give you a rundown. Junie is what you call blunt. TJ is basically the same as her. Dion is quiet but doesn't let it fool you. He'll get loud if he needs to. And Bre'sha is a tad bit mean, but once she gets to know you, she'll open right up," My'esha told them as Xerxes stared at her.

"Ain't shit you warning us about. If anything, they need to be prepared for our family," Elijah said, making them chuckle.

"No, what they need to worry about is getting their ass killed fucking with me. I don't give a damn how they are or bad they think they are," Xerxes said.

"X, I will talk to them. Just don't kill them, please," My'esha said. Xerxes again stared at her blankly, making My'esha sigh.

After pulling up the airfield, all of them got out. It wasn't long before the jet's door opened and six people appeared. My'esha and Leon moms were the first (Tasha and Dominique) to step out.

"Hey, Ma. How's the house been treating you?" Leon asked her.

She smiled as she hugged him then pinched his cheeks. "Aww, my baby done grew up. Now I can thank you in person for the house and everything else, but you know I'm still gonna work," She said, making him groan.

"Why don't you just sit, Ma. You can work, but I don't want you to. If you need anything, I gotchu,"

"But—"

"No buts Ma. I want you to be comfortable," Leon interrupted, making her sigh then kiss his cheek.

"Oh, hello," Dominique said, looking over her son's shoulder at Xerxes, Riley, and the rest. "Leon talks about you guys a lot. Thank you for what you've done for my son, but I only know names. Who's who?" She asked, looking at them.

"Xerxes, this is my wife, Riley... I don't know how much your big-mouth son has told you. We are Don and Donna of the German-American Mafia." Xerxes said. Dominique nodded slowly as she and Tasha looked at each other.

"And these two are Caleb and Elijah. Our underbosses," Riley pointed, making them all nod.

"WAIT! DON AND DONNA?! THIS SOME MOVIE-TYPE SHIT, LEON?" Junie yelled, making everyone chuckle.

"Right," TJ cosigned.

"Ma. How you been?" My'esha raised a brow at Tasha.

"Yall just going to ignore us," Junie said, making them all look at her as Riley held Xerxes's arm.

"I'm just fine, honey. I'm happy to see you. It's been a year."

"I know. Too long. I missed you,"

"I missed you to honey," Tasha said, making her smile.

"Xerxes and Riley. This is my soon-to-be mother-in-law Dominique and my mother, Tasha. These four are TJ, Junie, Dion, and Bre'sha." My'esha pointed to them, and they all greeted.

"Yeah, I think we got who moms are who already."

"Adriel, stop being a jackass..."

"Ri, you know X can't help that shit. It's in our DNA. Our Dad and Opa are the biggest ones of all," Elijah laughed, causing the six to look at him.

"You're with child?" Dominique asked, looking at Riley. Riley smile rubbing her small baby bump.

"Yes, ma'am. It's not just one in here. It's five," She said as they all gasped.

"Leon, you better be checking up on her," Dominique said, making him chuckle.

"Ma, I delivered her twins'. Along with X's mom. And X is a doctor too, so there's not much I do," Leon said, making X chuckle.

Junie was in awe of Riley. "Donna—Riley. I don't know really what to call you. I just wanna say you're very pretty," She spoke, still staring in awe.

"If you love your life, I wouldn't stare too hard... my brother is crazy," Elijah said, semi-whispering the last part.

"Elijah, shut the fuck up! I swear I should have left your stupid ass at home," Xerxes said, pulling him back by his collar. Leon and Caleb tried not to laugh.

"You low-key could be like Leon's sister," Bre'sha said, making Riley shake her head.

"Thank you, Junie. And he is. Now that everyone is introduced and all we can go." Riley said, and they nodded, getting into the cars.

"So what colors you want for your wedding My'esha?"

"Well, we're doing purple and red. Of course, my dress will be white and everything." My'esha said, making the girls nod.

"I like that. Most of the time, it's just a color and white. But you guys chose three." Mariah chuckled.

"Yeah, it was hard deciding. Leon and I are wearing red while the rest of you guys wear purple."

"Did you finish making it yet? You know I need that shit like tomorrow," Leon said to Bronzè while they were on the phone.

"It's almost done, Leon. I'll have it shipped soon. Don't worry," She chuckled as she added her finishing touches.

"Alright. Thanks, Bronzè,"

"No problem, bro. I'll call you later,"

"Aight," Leon said as he hung up the phone.

"Who were you talking to?" Caleb asked him.

"My jeweler from Petersburg. I need that ring," Leon said, making him chuckle.

"You'll get it, bro. Now come on so we can beat your ass in some UNO."
