"So, we not even going to talking about how your soon-to-be wife empty a clip into Quan?" Greg asked, coming into Reece's office. It's been the same question for the last two days. Each time he just avoided it. Reece was still trying to process it himself.

"I scheduled a meeting with Sean before going back to Scotland. I think he will make a great ally. Having Detroit Mafia on our side will be a great addition for us here in the states. Don't you think?" Reece said, reading over the document in his hand. He needed more allies, and right now, he only had the German-American Mafia. His father had fucked over so many other mafias ending with them refusing to work with him. He had to do something before they started to realize their mafia wasn't what it use to be.

Reece felt his brothers and Lance's eyes glaring through his head as he ignored them. He chuckled, signing his paper as they inhaled, then exhaled, shaking their heads. Soon after Nicole walked into the room with Michael, she wore a smile until their eyes started to glare into hers. Quickly she made a u-turn to leave until Reece stopped her.

"Sit Bòidheach, my brothers and cousin were just leaving. Wasn't you?" He said. All three sigh once again as they got up and left, making sure they slammed the door behind them like some little children have a fit because their parents won't let them in on something.

"What are they mad about?"

"Nothing. They are just being fucking nosey and fail to realize that I am their boss. Which means I don't have to tell them shit." Reece says as Nicole nodded, kissing Michael's little fingers as he giggled, placing them back up to her lips to be kissed again.

"He's a good baby, Reece. He loves when you play with him, but I don't think she played with him through." Nicole said. Reece stopped what he was doing to look up again to Michael, kissing her cheek then wiggling himself free to run over to where he was.

"Dada!" He said, climbing up in Reece's lap with a hug. Reece smiled at the boy as he ran his fingers through his hair before kissing his forehead.

"That doesn't matter. He has you...."

"But, I'm not his mama," Nicole said, making Reece sigh. He knew this was coming. What she didn't realize was she was going to be more of his mother than his mother ever was. Even if Paige was still alive once Nicole and him married. Reece's was getting my son.

"You are, and don't think of yourself as anything less," Reece says. Nicki stared for a moment but smiled as she nodded.

"Reece...."

"It's fine, Nicki. I know you did what you thought you had to. Quan threaten me... you. He was working with that asshole while smiling in my fucking face. I know you knew nothing of it. He just wanted me to believe you were my distraction. Nathan knowing about you is what worries me. I have to make sure you are safe, and the best way is to train you and marry you sooner than later to ensure that my mafia is behind you 100%."

Nicole's eyes went wide as she realized what Reece said, but it turned into a smile, which him smile. Quickly she got up, walking over to the desk, taking Michael to sit in his lap, kissing Reece's cheek before kissing his lips.

"I've been training with Lance for the last few days... because you and I been on the outs. He's always in the gym and fun to train with. Along with Damian and Travis, I think that's his name, but they have been training me. Greg also taught me how to shoot an AK, and the Uzi, which was fun as crap, but it was with paint guns." She laughed.

"I knew it was a bad idea leaving you with my family the last two days... Okay, I want you to show me some of the stuff they taught you then...."

"RIGHT NOW!?" She squealed. Reece laughed, texting Ada to come and get Michael while they went to the gym. The whole time Nicole was trying to talk herself out of the situation until both were in the ring face to face.
