Remember When - Ace Merrill (BOOK 3)

I fucking love you

Ace and Oceane walked out their room the next morning, completely ready and determined to find their children.

"Wakey wakey Austy!" Oceane said happily as she gently smack Austin's cheek as he slept against Salvatore outside their bedroom.

"You too Salvy!" She slapped his cheek a few times as they both grumbled and stirred.

Oceane happily skipped off downstairs as Austin and Salvatore looked after her confused.

Ace offered them both a hand up as they looked about.

"She called me Austy?"

"She called me Salvy?"

Their questions came in sync as they pointed to themselves. Ace nodded and smiled.

"I'll give it a minute to sink in." He mumbled as he followed Oceane down the stairs and into the living room.

She had happily woken everyone up and it was like she had just awoken from a long sleep. Her energy levels were unmatched, even by her children.

"Bitches wake up!" She snapped as the guys only groaned and stirred.

Yet hearing her harsh voice quickly caused them to all practically stand to attention.

"We're finding my fucking children and we're fucking finding them today. Clear?" She snapped out at all of them.

"She remembers!" Austin shouted as he burst into the living room, almost crashing into Ace.

They all turned to her expectantly as she gave them all a small smile.

Each of them all had the biggest of smiles as she kept her glare.

"This some kind of party?!" She snapped out. "Hell no, find my fucking children!"

The team all scrambled to get ready as she stood there with a smirk on her face, arms crossed, watching them race about.

Ace came to her side as his arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.

"Someone's earning their Merrill name." He laughed out.

Oceane stared up at him. "That means you too you know." She bit out expectantly. "Connie wants them as page boys and a flower girl so in order to do that we need them."

Ace nodded quickly as he stepped back.

Oceane sighed as she looked down at the gun on the coffee table. Slowly she reached down and grabbed it, holding it up.

"Oh no no no no you're not." Eyeball started as he saw her.

Naturally the others began to agree with him as she glared at them all.

"You're really gonna try stopping me from getting my own children back?!" She snapped harshly.

Salvatore moved closer to her. "Ma'am it's for your safety."

Oceane glared up at him. "If I remember rightly I was taught how to defend myself perfectly well."

Marco subtlety moved behind her to try take the gun.

Yet the cobras mouths all dropped as they saw her quickly spun, punch him straight in the gut and spin back to face Salvatore, the gun aimed up at him.

"I'm going to get my children back." She spoke firmly.

"Ma'am." Salvatore nodded.

"At least come with one of us, just in case." Skylar offered as he attempted to help Marco to stand.
