Author's note:
Hi my loves,
A MILLION, GAZILLION apologies for the time between Chapters. Life and work were beyond ridiculous in September and October with back to school for the kids, and a major program launch for me. All work and no play make Ames a very dull girl!
Also, suffered writer's block massively in this Chapter - falling out of love with Retrograde and wondering whether I should even bother continuing. I sorted my shit out, though, and pushed through. So, here we are!
WARNING: 🚨🔞 Our Edser babies get SPICY in this chapter. Please skim past those sections if you're not down for some smutty smut. 🚨🔞
Thanks again for all your love and support. Don't forget to vote and Tweet. You can find me on Twitter dizigirl1.
Lots of love and hugs,
Ames
P.S. Slammed this out while on a sick day today. Please forgive any spelling and grammatical errors.

Previously on Retrograde:
"Fuck! Get down! It's an ambush!" Genovese's bodyguard screams from the front passenger seat as the car is lit with gunfire from every direction.
The passengers scramble under siege until silence finally returns.
When the sun rises the next morning, the newspaper headlines will scream of the attempted hit on Guiseppe Genovese and the murder of his lawyer, Alptekin Bolat.

Eren wraps his hands around his key chain, carefully pulling his keys from the Yildiz front door. It's 1:30am, and yet another police car screams past their street. Afraid it'll wake the kids, he quickly closes the door, mumbling, "What's with all the sirens tonight?"
He slides out of his jacket, hangs it on the back of a chair, and creeps down the darkened hallway. The wind is savagely knocked from his lungs as rough hands grip his throat and hold him to the wall.
"Did you do it!?" A wild Serkan seethes inches from a startled Eren's face.
"Serkan! What on earth!?" Eren stammers in shock.
"DID. YOU. DO. IT!?" Serkan roars.
The moonlight illuminates one side of Serkan's face, and Eren catches the tortured look in the young man's eyes and his stomach rips open with panic. He grits his teeth, trying to shake free from Serkan's grasp.
"S...Serkan, STOP! Where's Eda?"
"Not Eda. My father." Serkan hisses as they continue to wrestle, smashing into the walls. Serkan throws a punch, connecting squarely with Eren's jaw with a crack! Eren's head snaps back, slamming against the cold drywall, his mouth filling with blood.
"What!? Where's Alptekin?" Eren pants, grimacing and gripping Serkan by the shoulders.
"DEAD! But you already know that, don't you!?" Serkan spits.
Eren stops cold as the room begins to spin. His grip on Serkan halts. "Ww..what? H...how?"
"Shouldn't you be telling me!?" Serkan growls, breathing heavily, his grip starting to choke Eren. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO ANYTHING STUPID!!"
"I...I didn't see your dad! I've been with Daniel all night. What happened? Where's Eda?"
The sound of her name slaps Serkan, and he stops his shoving as confusion floods him. He looks down the hallway to their bedroom, his anger softening as he thinks of his girlfriend. His gaze returns to Eren's, searching for the truth in the older man's eyes, desperate to believe the man he considers his real father.
