CHAPTER NINE || GABRIEL

*flashback*

"GABRIEL, NIA" my mama yells as she makes a starfish shape in the doorframe. Two men in black are pulling her away.

"MAMA!!" I cry.
I rum after her but the men yank her from the door frame.

I hear the twins cry behind me and Nia trying to comfort them.

I run after the men but there fast.

There dragging her by her arms, "mama!" i scream weakly. My throat was raw and I was tired from fighting those men. I was only 13 but I had some skills from my dad training me.

Then she was out of my sight. My mama was gone.

I run back doen the hallway and into the living room where my dad was laying on the floor bleeding all over the carpet.

"Dad" I cry. "they took mama" I bury my head into hid chest and he tries to get up.

"Wheres your mom?" he whips his head around and chuckles as more blood comes out his mouth. He couldn't hear me.

The blue and red lights illuminate the room and the sirens cause the twins to cover there ears and cry more.

"Gone"

*back to present*

"Gabe, GABE!!" I hear Nia yell while shaking my body.

I jump up from my sleep and gasp. God what's wrong with me.

"Nightmare?" she questions turning on the lamp on my nightstand and sittinf at the foot of my bed.

"About mom, I haven't had that dream since I was little though."

She was taken 20 years ago. I had nightmares about it for years and even had a therapist.

"Maybe because it reminds you of Mani" she says making circles on the bed.

"No."

"Yes Gabriel, its just like the situation with mama" she says trying to grab my hands to comfort me.

"Get out."

"No, Im trying to help you Gabe" she pleads.

"If you won't leave im going in my daughter's room" I say throwing back my covers. I grab my phone and leave the room.

My sister just sits on the bed looking back at me.

I walk the hallway and into my daughters room. She was just sitting there on her tablet. I hear sniffles.

"Baby it's 1am why are you up" I wipe my eye and walk over to her bed.

She's looking at photos of Mani.

"I miss her daddy" she sniffles looking at me with tear stained eyes.

"Oh princess" I say climbing into the bed with her and putting her in my arm.

"I want her." she cries harder into my arm and a few of my tears fall aswell.

"Me too princess" I sniffle.

After a few minutes of her crying she speaks up.

"Daddy" she says snuggling into me more.

"Yes"

"Remember when we watched Rapunzel and Flynn went for her when she was taken" she says.

"Of course, thats your favorite movie" I giggle tickling her chubby belly. She kicks around laughiny and giggling, my princess always manages to find light in darkness, after she calms down a bit she begins to talk again.

"You need to do that for Mani, all princes need a princess or the other way around" she giggles.

She's right.

I care about Mani. Her laugh when were watching a movie, her scent when I sniff her neck, her beautiful face that was sculpted by the gods, her tight cunt when I was fucking her. I miss everything about her.

I gotta fight for my girl.

"Go to sleep baby, I can make pancakes in the morning"

"Oooo otay" she giggles before burying herself farther into the sheets and faking sleep.

"I love you princess" I say kissing her on her soft forehead.

"Love you too daddy" she says in a sleey voice.

༺ ৎ୭ ༻

I push the plate of choclate chip pancakes over the kitchen island and a sleepy Valeria walks down the stairs with her blankey.

Her little nose perks up and she runs over to one of the stools taking a pancake in her mouth.

I laugh and she munches away adding more maple syrup to the pancakes.

"Gabriel" Marcellus says. "Can you watch Alessio for me?"

"No."

"I'm not gonna beg i'm asking you to watch him, me and Claire have a date planned" he says bringing Alessio in the room.

"I said no." I growl while Val's eyes turn doughy looking at Alessio. His aswell.

"Stop looking at my motherfucking daughter!" I yell and Alessio hides behind his dad.

"Calm down Russo." Marcel says biting at me.

"Go over there, he made pancakes" he says winking. Before I can even come up with a rebuttal, Marcel is practically running out the house with an eagar Claire.

Alessio walks over to my daughter and sits on the stool next to her. "your pretty" he says looking at her. Her lightskinned cheeks light up.

"Your pretty too" she says to him and he hides his face.

Hell nah. My little girl is not about to be flirting at 5 years old. Or never.

I walk over to the other side of the island with my plate and they both look up at me.

"Move over." Alessio immediately listens and moves to the next stool over.

I sit in between them proud. And munch on my pancakes still thinking about my girl...
