Loving Her (UNEDITED)

Catilina

It's been a few weeks since I got out of the hospital and it's honestly been amazing. The boys love calling Killian 'dad' and I think they over use it on purpose sometimes but Killian loves it and it makes the boys happy so who am I to take that from them.

"I never thought I'd see the day." Ryker said as him and his brother sat next to me.

Ryker has a twin brother named Rylee who just got out of prison.

"I know right." Rylee said, agreeing with Ryker.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Killian, being a dad." Ryker said.

"It's hard to picture my mafia boss, the guy who's put more knives to my throat than I can't count on my hands and toes combined, actually being a dad." Rylee said, as we watched Killian play with the boys on the play ground.

"The boys asked him to go to the parents night at their school tomorrow. He looked so excited when they asked it almost made me cry." I said, smiling at my boys.

"He probably will never admit this but you and those boys saved him in many more ways than just making him happy." Ryker said, before placing his hand on my shoulder.

Loki, who was sitting at my feet, immediately growled at Rykers hand making him move it.

"See what I mean?" Ryker asked, looking at Rylee.

"Damn that's fucking hilarious." Rylee laughed.

"Language." I said, smacking him upside his head.

"Geez yes mom." He said mockingly.

"Mom!" I heard Kolson yell, running over to us.

"Hey baby are you having fun?" I asked him.

"Yeah but we're hungry."

"Okay let's go set up the picnic and get some food in your belly's." I said getting up and grabbing the basket, blanket, and the dogs leashes. "Go get your dad and brothers, tell them to come help set up."

"Yes ma'am." He said running off.

I walked over to a clear spot on the grass and laid out a blanket. I set the basket down as Kolson ran back over with Kolton.

"Dad and Kingston and getting Olaf and Thor then they'll be over." Kolton said as he sat down and started unpacking the basket.

"Well well well, if it isn't Catilina Lucas." I heard someone say from behind me.

Turning around I saw Conner Nelson, one of Martin's deputies.

"It's Catilina Alvez now, Conner." I said, confidentially.

"Ah okay and where exactly is Martin? You haven't seen him around have you?" He asked.

"Nope, he's not my problem anymore." I said.

"Hey honey, sorry we took so long, Ryker and Rylee wouldn't stop messing with the dogs." Killian said, walking over and kissing my cheek.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Kingston asked Conner as he walked over.

"Kingston! Language." I scolded him.

"Hey buddy, I was just asking your mom if she knew where your dad was." Conner said.

"Yeah we know where he is." Kingston said.

"Oh? And where would that be?"

"Right here." Kingston said, pointing to Killian.

"Buddy why don't you go eat with your brothers." Killian said, rubbing Kingston's head.

"And make sure your brothers drink their water please." I said.

"Really Catilina? He's not their dad and they know that." Conner said, spitefully.

"I may not be their birth dad but in their books, I earned the dad title. So to anyone that counts, that means I'm their dad." Killian said with pride.

"Hey boss, everything okay?" Ryker asked, as him and Rylee walked over.

"We're good we were just having a little chat." Conner said with his cocky smirk. "Weren't we Catilina."

I rolled my eyes, fed up with his antics. "Jear desus, you have your entire life to be a narcissistic asshat, why not take today off?" I said.

"Language, mom." Kolson said.

"Sorry honey." I smiled at him.

"Well, it seems Catilina grew a back bone." Conner smirked, before grabbing my arm. "But that just might get you-"

He was cut off by Killian grabbing his hand, twisting it and bending it between his shoulder blades. "Touch her again and it will be the last thing you ever do.

I walked back over to the boys, sat down.

"Mom can we play with our nerf guns when we get home?" Kolton asked.

"Ask your dad, if he says you can then yes." I said, smiling at their excitement.

"Ask dad what?" Killian asked, sitting beside me, pulling me against him.

"If we can have a nerf war when we get home." Kingston asked.

"As long as you stay out of the kitchen and gang up on Ryker." Killian said with a smirk, causing me to giggle.

"Deal!" The boys agreed in unison, returning to their food.

"Ryker is gonna love you later." I said sarcastically.

"I can handle that as long as you love me better tonight." I whispered huskily in my ear.

I will definitely love you in many many ways.

~•~

I stood at the counter shredding the chicken, listening to the boys running around the living room.

"Come on! Don't shoot my face, if it gets bruised I'll never get laid again." Ryker whined.

"Dude the only way you'll ever get laid is if you crawl up a chicken's ass and wait." Killian said, causing us to laugh.

"My son definitely has a way with words." Mirella said, chuckling.

   "What exactly do you see in him again? I mean I get why he loves you, you're smart, funny, pretty, respectful, responsible. But my brother, isn't exactly what I would call a ladies man." Lila joked, sitting at the counter.

   "Hey I am a ladies man. The ladies love me." Killian said, walking into the kitchen.

   "Uh huh and what ladies may I ask?" I asked, putting the chicken in the pot with the peppers and broth.

   "Only you my love." He said, kissing my cheek.

   "Yeah sure." I said, shaking my head at him.

   "¡Niños! Los tacos están listos así que ven a comer." (Boys! Tacos are done so come eat.) I yelled to the boys.

   "¡Ya viene mamá!" They yelled back in unison.

   "They are very smart boys." Mirella praised.

   "Of course they are have you met their mom who is a certified genius?" Lila said.

   "Wait what?" Killian asked, looking at me.

   "Yeah she is super smart." Lila said smiling at me.

   I know she's just trying to be nice but I was really hoping this wouldn't get brought up like at all.

   I placed three tacos each on the boys plates then made a plate with four and handed it to Killian.

   "I'm gonna go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I said, kissing Killian's cheek and walking off.
