Mark POV:

We boarded the Jet a couple minutes ago and Zuri hasn't said anything to anyone .

"Zuri they are fine don't worry" I say gently squeezing her knee

"I don't think you understand the extent these people will go . The mere fact that they human trafficked me without realizing. My kids mean nothing to them at all so please unless you can get this jet to go any faster please I just-" she cuts herself off as she moves her knee away from my hand 

"Shit shit give me your phone" she says and I hand it to her . She takes it and she starts dialing a number . Pacing the floor as the call rings the person finally answers 

Zuri POV:

"Oh thank god Emerald, are the kids safe are you okay " I asked .A sigh of relief escaping my lips cause she answered and I can hear the T.V in the background

"Zuri you call me whilst I'm watching my show ...the children are asleep it's 10pm shh sleep" she says almost wanting to hang up 

"Emerald it's a 224 situation" I say slowly and the call goes silent 

"Oh god , let me go get them uhm we'll be okay I'll call this number back"

"Thank you and please" I plead in a whisper and she hums. Hanging up the phone I turn back to Mark 

"What's a 224" he asked as I hand him his phone 

"An emergency that calls for going underground" I say to him as I sit down 

"Okay at least their safe now" he says and I nod 

Fuck being a mother is so hard .Watching them grow up is the hardest but then it hits that you are their only way of surviving and my god I would die for them in a heart beat but the pressure is way too overwhelming 

"Zuri I know your stressed out but could we talk" Mark almost pleads with me 

"Sure anything to get my mind off things" I sigh out facing him 

"I just want to say I'm sorry" he says taking my hand in his and I slowly take it back 

"I'm so sorry too but it's fine now it's history" I shrug . Shit I don't know truly speaking I feel like our chapter together has ended 

Mark POV:

Why is this so hard....I just want us to talk but there's so much I want say but I don't know where to start 

"Zuri what happened between was just simply a right person wrong time wasn't it" I sigh out and she nods 

"Well what I said back there about me not-" my phone rings cutting me off . Taking it out of my pocket she snatches it out of my hand 

"Yes oh thank the pope okay , see you guys in a couple of hours oh uhm can I talk to them" she says into the phone 

"Hey babies mama is going to be there in a few okay . I love you both so much" she smiles sweetly and I can hear the faint squeals of we love you too. My heart suddenly drops from hearing them and it dawns on me I'm a father ...not to one but two kids 

Looking back up at her she hangs up and hands me the phone . Clearing my throat I stuff the phone in my pocket 

"So uhm twins" I whisper out and she sighs

"Yeah uhm Giulio-Alvaro and Sophie-Vera " ...she really did name our daughter after my little sister. She also kept the names Hispanic. 

"Wow I-" I say furrowing my eyebrows and she smiles nodding
