I was sitting here digging through the massive mound of information on my desk when Bianca’s phone began to ring. Not being the type to pay attention to someone else conservation I focused on my computer screen. But when she slammed her hand down on the table sneering “just who in the hell do you think you are? You aren’t getting anything other than a bullet between your eyes if you don’t give me back my son.”
Ten to one if Bianca could reach through the phone her mother would have died right then and there. When it comes to our children my wife is like a lioness. She is a force to reckon with. Shortly after that she ran out of the room and came back twenty minutes later waving a sheet of paper with writing over her head. “Honey, look here we found where they’re hiding” Bianca said with a huge smile on her face.
While I stayed down in my office getting all the documents together that we needed and made phone calls to my connections in Italy Bianca went upstairs to pack our bags for the trip. Shortly after I finished everything, I need to do down here in my office I turned to my brother and Destiny “hey you two go and get ready. We leave at first light. I’m going upstairs with my wife and get some much-needed sleep.”
“So that’s what they be calling it now adays sleep right” snickered Vince.
“Shut up idiot,” shaking my head I rolled my eyes and glared back at him over my shoulder. Snatching the closet book off the shelf I threw it aiming to hit him in the head with it. But of course, my nitwit of a brother has fast reflexes and caught it before it could do any major damage to him.
I took the stairs two at time and entered our bedroom. Where the sound of water running came through the closed bathroom door shoving it open, I found Bianca covered up to her neck in bubbles and flowers. I walked over grabbing the bath ladle that laid by the tub.
I dipped the ladle in the water filling it to the brim and slowly let it cascade over her body. The water flowed down her chest causing Bianca to relax even more. God, how I loved this sight in front of me. To be honest with you what person doesn’t love it when their spouse helps with relaxing the body.
Meanwhile she glanced over left shoulder at me asking me if I was planning on just standing there looking like creeper or getting in the tub with her. My pupils darkened and nose flared, and I began to struggle to breathe. I don’t know why but I felt like a young teenager all over again. Not long after I was completely naked and submerging my body in the tub sliding in behind Bianca.
My arms encircled her waist tugging her passionately against my hard chest. She moaned and snuggled deeper into my embrace. As she laid with her back against me, I ran my fingers through her wet curls massaging her head. Just the thought of having her in my arms again after all these years made me smile. You don’t often find a love that will last a life time. But somehow I managed to be blessed with it. I know there is only person to thank for bringing this lovely woman into my life.
As much as I wanted to spend a life time in our tub and continue making love we both knew it wasn’t possible. We had a lot going on tomorrow, so I quickly stood up, bending over with my towel wrapped around us I grabbed my wife and carried her back to our bed. Gently I laid Bianca down in bed and pulled her back against my chest. With one leg hung over her thigh and my arms wrapped around her waist I cuddled with my wife until we fell asleep.
The minute our alarm sounded I sat up in bed turned my head sideways looking at the beauty curled under my blanket. It still drives me insane how she spent those 2 years in a coma after giving birth to our boys. Letting her sleep awhile longer I got out of bed, jumped in the shower and proceeded to get dressed. The slight noise coming from the bedroom told me Bianca was finally awake.
Poking my head through the doorway I told her to get a move on it. I was brushing teeth when she came in the bathroom walking up and hugged me from behind. I couldn’t help the slow grin that spread across my face. After rinsing the tooth paste out my mouth and wiping my face I reached around me pulling my lovely wife into my arms. Leaning over I rested my chin on her head. “Babe get dressed we have to leave as soon as your cousins get here to watch Dante while we go rescue Aries.”
After that brief hug everything became chaotic as everybody rushed to get suitcases loaded into vehicles. But when I glanced over at the porch time stood still for me. There my wife stood leaning against the porch column with our two year old cradled in her arms. Her long red hair seemed like flames embracing her. A gentle smile curving on her lovely face while she stared down at our son.
I raised my head to the sky and smiled and said a quick thank you to the good lord up above. My parents dream have finally been realized. Their greatest wish was for me to find the love of my life and carry on our family line. My younger brother walked over to me slapping on my back. “The sight looks good big brother doesn’t it,” he said while draping his arm over my shoulder in brotherly hug. It’ll be even better once we get Aries back.
With that in mind I hollered out for everyone to get into the different vehicles and we were head to our private air strip. You maybe asking yourselves why are they flying private when there are plenty of commercial airports. Well it’s quite simple. We can’t carry weapons on regular planes. In order to get our son Aries back everybody is going fully loaded and ready to lay down their life for our child’s safety.
Thirty minutes later we were parked on the private runway and climbing into the plane waiting for lift off. As Bianca went to take her first step into the doorway the sound of another car approaching made us turn around. There stood her father Brian McBain and his men all dressed like swat. He raised his hand “hold on Bianca and hear me out before you get all pissed off at me. I know we have our differences and everything. But Aries is my grandson and I know the type of people your mother is working with and you’re going to need my help. Let me help you.”
Bianca only nodded and turned around heading into the plane. The rest of us followed behind her taking our seats as the plane prepared for take off. I put my hand on my wife’s lap “why don’t you get some rest it’ll be awhile before we reach Italy.” Right when she drifted off to sleep my phone vibrated.
A text message from my uncle showed on my screen “Sobrino, acabamos de aterrizar en Roma Italia. Te veo pronto.” (Nephew we just landed in Rome Italy. See you soon.)
Hey Vince, Tio said he’s already in Rome they must have left a few days before us in order to get everything set up. Uncle Miguel isn’t my father’s biological brother but they’ve always been close since childhood. So when my parents passed away Miguel and his family stepped up and raised us. He showed the court system what would happen if they separated Vince from me.
Two little boys stood beside the Graves of their parents tears falling down to the ground paying homage to their dearly departed parents. 12 year old Angel stared off into crowd not really seeing anybody. “how could God let this happen both our parents are gone. Now you have cps breathing down my neck wanting to split us up.”
His hands clenched at his side hate started to fill this little boys heart. A young couple who he had never seen before walked over to him. The lady bended down on her knees placed a hand on his shoulder. At first he thought it was to tell him how sorry they were for his parents passing away. But boy did he have it wrong. So damn wrong. “I know your parents just past away and there is nobody to take you in. I’m sorry to tell you this but you and your brother have to go into foster care.”
Angel slowly raised his head staring coldly into the woman’s eyes. The couple didn’t see it coming. He raised his hand slapping her in the face and shoved her down to the ground. “Nobody is separating us. We were raised together by our mother and will continue to be together until one of us dies.”
The sound of Angel screaming brought several men dressed in dark clothing with tattoos on their hands, rushing over. One stepped in front of Angel to stop any further form of violence from happening. “Angel I’m your uncle Miguel what’s wrong son?”
“That horrid woman said we had no family to take us in and she was splitting us up.” Miguel violently left his head up starring at both the man and woman.
“How the hell would you know if this boy had any family or not? Did you dig into the family background to check? Show me your damn badge and the paperwork. If you can’t get the fuck out of here. Who the hell comes to a funeral to take children.”
The man who had been standing beside the woman looked up at Miguel and began to speak, but when Miguel and his friends raised the bottom of their shirt up showing the butt of a gun he clammed up quick. Grabbing the woman beside him they ran all the way back to their car.
“Angel and Vince you don’t have to worry about being separated you two will becoming to Mexico to live me and my family until your grown. Your dad was a big part of my life when I little and needed him the most. Now I can be there for his kids when they need me. Now dry your tears.”
With every sorrow comes a silver lining. Blood isn’t always family. But people that happen to be there for you during your darkest times. People who don’t turn their heads when you need them the most. Family is deep and power is true with the both of these you can rule the world.
Author note
Another chapter down and uploaded. This chapter was nice but at the same time hard for me to write. Two young children shouldn't have to watch their parents die. Nobody should for that matter. My favorite quote growing up as a foster child myself, became family isn't always blood. Family is who you choose. People who are there for you when you need them the most. Who don't turn their back on you when you finally make something of yourself. Those help and give instead of taking from you all the time.
Don't forget to vote, share or comment what you liked about the chapter. Only corrective criticism welcomed. Rude or ignorant comments with be deleted. This is a place for all of us to come together share our stories and our hurt when we need it.
