I've Been Found

Veronica

"Kora isn't lying. Someone came in when me and Rico was out in a mission and Angela was in France. She wasn't lying at all" my mom said looking at us worried.

"Then that maid poisoned Kora. For whatever reason. The thing is... They knew Kora was here. They know we are here" my dad said standing up.

"It doesn't make sense. This whole time we was here and asleep, that maid never came back. Only that once." My mom said sternly.

"But who wasn't here?.. Think about it, who wasn't here" I said deeply and looking at Mr. De Luca and Ray.

"I think it's Veronica. When I was pregnant, Kora admitted that Veronica hated her and Kora hated Veronica. They're enemies who want the same thing. So they teamed up" I said.

"When you was pregnant, you talked to Kora?" My dad questioned.

"Yes.. And she isn't bad of a person. When I was sick and in pain she gave me so much advice. She gave me support while you guys was on missions. She was the one who helped me name Romana" I said softly.

"So Kora is genuine. She takes Favor in Angela. No wonder she said so much stuff. She used to brag on how much Angela is kind and stuff. I thought she was mocking you" Max admitted.

"Turns out Kora does care. We need to help her." My mom said.

"Oh you CAN'T be serious. Kora nearly killed all of us" my dad said.

"But she saved Angela. She saved my daughter. Angela nearly died having Romana. It was towards the end that we saw that change. It was thanks to Kora. I'm saving her life if you like it or not" my mom demanded.

"Save her but she stays in the basement" my dad demanded.

Jason came back and sighed.

"There might be no saving her. The poison already taken affect. Either we can start treatment now and spare Kora 5 to 7 years or let her die now." Jason said gently.

"Save her" I said sternly. Everyone looked at me but I held my ground.

"Save her" I said again. Jason nodded and Max followed him down to the basement.

"Who's Kora" Koa asked looking at Ray. I bit my lip and picked up Koa, taking him to the basement.

Kora looked at me and then Koa and laughed.

"Man it's stupid how you two look alike." Kora said shaking her head with a smile.

I smiled and brought Koa to Kora. She gave him a look and I began to speak but Kora shook her head.

"Hey Koa" Kora said smiling. Koa waved shyly and Kora smiled.

"You being a good boy to mommy?" Kora asked.

"Yepp!! I got a sister too" Koa said giggling. Kora smiled and looked at me.

"Well I'm your Mommy's big sister. It's nice to meet you Koa" Kora said looking at me and smiling. I frowned but she nodded confidently.

Koa smiled and ran back upstairs like I told him to.

"You don't want him to know?" I questioned.

"No.. I don't. Mother is an earned title and I'm far from it. To be honest I like the title aunt better." Kora said smiling.

"He'll find out though" I said softly.

"By then I'll be long gone." Kora said smiling.

"Don't say that Kora." I said as Max and Jason came in.

Kora shook her head at Jason. "Don't save me Angela." Kora said.

"I want to though" I said nodding at Jason. He went over to Kora and found her vein. He pierced her skin with 2 injections.

"2 injections a day. If I do this then.. Maybe you can reach 10 years" Jason told Kora. Kora sighed and nodded.

"Do whatever you want." Kora said softly.

"Trust me. You should be thanking Angela. If it was up to me I would have killed you long ago" Max said walking out the room and slamming the door. Kora sighed and looked at me.

"Lola still isn't awake.. Is she?" Kora asked. I shook my head and Kora nodded slowly.

"Sorry about that too." Kora said deeply.

"It's weird for you out of all people to say sorry" Jason said.

"I don't know. Thinking for these past 3 years and seeing Angela go through so much.. It gives me.. Confidence to be better." Kora said. I smiled and felt a warm arm wrap around me.

"Ray" I said softly.

"If your happy then I am." He said kissing my cheek. I smiled and Kora nodded at me confidently.

I went back upstairs to give her time to sleep. Jason said the antidote will make her a bit drowsy and sluggish.

"You almost died having Romana?" Ray asked softly. I sighed and held his hand, going to my room. I shut the door and turned to Ray.

"I did. It got so bad that I had to walk around with an IV pole. It was because I was already stressed from François. I didn't eat. I didn't sleep. I continuously worked and on top of that, I was carrying a big baby. Romana was 11 pounds when she was born." I said laughing.

"I got severely sick. Plus I was food poisoned. Things... Wasn't so great in the beginning. That's why I almost got robbed. I was sick. Very sick. But... If I ever had a redo.. I'll do it again" I said smiling. Ray kissed my forehead and smiled sadly.

"I'm here" he said confidently. I smiled and nodded.

"So am I" I said with an no faded smile.

I sighed and looked at Ray.

"Veronica was here but you wasn't. If she finds out that you and your dad is no longer in Italy she'll come back. Kora wasn't lying before and she has no reason to lie now. She will get your father... Or you" I said softly.

"She'll have to kill me" Ray said snickering. I slapped his chest and he laughed greatly which made me smile.

The door opened a bit, revealing Roman and Romana.

"Hey my little Bear cubs" I said grabbing them both and giving them unlimited kisses. They laughed and giggled as Ray tickled them. Ray kissed my lips with a smile.

"I love you" Ray said deeply.

"I love you too" I said smiling.
