🔥 PLAYING WITH FIRE 🔥

50. Our Last Blessing/Trouble

Diamond's POV: Things were back to normal. We were working alot. I was very exhausted. The kids kept me busy. They were now 5, 3 & 1. Romeo was now in kindergarten. He has gotten so big. Juliette & Ryan went to daycare. I loved them so much. They were so wonderful.

Roman & I were doing great. We are very happy. He is the love of my life. He was it for me, I didn't want anyone but him. He makes me feel like I'm floating all of the time. We had our issues but we always worked through them.

One day, I was at work.  I was doing a presentation and all of a sudden, I started to fell a twinge in my stomach, I cleared my throat and kept presenting. People were staring, they could tell that something was wrong.

Amara: um, excuse me Diamond are you okay?

Me: yes, I'm fine thanks for asking.

I kept presenting, then all of a sudden I had to throw up.

Me: um excuse me everyone.

I held my hand over my mouth and ran to the nearest bathroom. I threw up, several of times. I sat there crying and thinking. "Not again"! I said to myself. I was sure that I was pregnant yet again, I threw up once more. Just then Amara walked in.

Amara: diamond, are you okay?

Me: yes, I'm fine. I'll be right out.

I walked out the stall and there she was standing there. I washed my face and put some water in my mouth.

Amara: does he know?

I gave her a weird look.

Me: no, I'm not even sure yet. I haven't took a test but I'm pretty sure that I am.

Amara: don't worry love, I have one in my purse. I keep these kinds of things on me at all times. You never know.

We laughed. I took the test, it was positive. I cried hard. Amara hugged me.

Amara: honey, what is wrong?

Me: girl, I wasn't ready for another baby, I have three.

Amara: and I have 5 so what's your point Diamond? Look its okay, you're married, you have a wonderful husband, a great job. It's going to be okay, I wasn't ready either but it tends to happen when you have a hot, sexy, husband who can't keep his hands off of you. I'm here if you need me.

Me: thanks I really appreciate it.

We hugged and went back to work. I apologized to everyone. Thank God Nicole finished presenting for me. I went to find Roman, but he was in a serious business meeting and I didn't want to disturb him. I asked my boss if I could go home early I wasn't feeling well he told me it was okay. I left Roman a note on his desk. Then I left. I went to pick up the children and we went home.

I was preparing dinner. I decided to cut the radio on. Just then I heard " I'm free" by Kenny Loggins from Footloose. I loved this song and the movie. I sung along with it

"Heaven helps the man who fights his fear"

"Love's the only thing that keeps me here (I'm free)"

"You're the reason that I'm hanging on"

"My heart's staying where my heart belongs (I'm free)"

The kids were dancing and laughing. I smiled. Just then I heard extreme gunfire. I grabbed the children and ducked. I couldn't tell if was aimed in our direction or not. The kids were screaming and crying. I grabbed them and ran into the other room. I placed them in a closet.

"Shh, my babies, stay here. Do not leave this room, you understand me"?

They all shook their heads yes. I grabbed my gun and I eased in the kitchen. The radio was still playing I turned it off. I looked, there was a big hole in our front door, someone was in our house I thought. I instantly got scared and upset at the same time. Just then a man in all black, started shooting at me, I ducked behind the counter, he ducked in the hallway. Just then I could hear footsteps coming towards my direction and before I could shoot, I heard shots fired from another direction. I saw the guy fall to the floor.

"You son of a bitch"!!

Roman: diamond, diamond where are you??!?

I got up and ran to him. I was crying, he held me tight.

Roman: are you okay? Where are the babies?

Me: I'm fine, they are in a closet in the back room.

We went to get them, they were so scared, I felt so bad. I held them and sobbed. Roman held us. He was so angry. I finally got the kids to calm down. They laid down for a nap. I walked into the kitchen. Roman followed me. I had totally burned our dinner. I was so upset.

Roman: diamond please talk too me.

Me: I don't wanna talk to you I wanna shoot you.

Roman: Diamond look I'm sorry I wasn't here. I really am.

I looked at him.

Me: Roman this has gotten out of hand, someone tried to kill me, and my babies were scared to death. Did you not see the look on their faces? I cried hard.

Roman: yes I saw it. First let's call the police and get this trash out of here.

We called the police, our house was a crime scene. They asked alot of questions and then they left. I felt sick I threw up in the kitchen sink. Roman saw me. He rubbed my back.

Roman: pregnant??

I looked at him.

Me: yeah. I sobbed. He grabbed me and held me.

Roman: baby let's sit down.

We sat down. I looked at him.

Me: Roman we have to get out of here. We can't stay here anymore, it's only a matter of time before they try it again. We have a target on our backs and I can't take a risk of something happening to our children.

Roman: you're right baby, I have another house here, we will go there tonight. We will be safe there. No one knows about this house and I mean no one. Which means you can't tell anyone Maria, nobody. Understand?

Me: yes, let's just go please. We loaded up our children and Roman had security escort us to his other house. It was even more beautiful than the other one. We were inside. We sat on the couch, our babies laid on us.

Romeo: I'm hungry mommy.

Juliette: me too. I hungry too

Ryan did some baby talk. Me and Roman laughed.

Roman: baby don't worry, I'll have the driver go get us some food.

The driver came back with food. We fed the children, gave them baths and they went to bed. I decided to take a hot bath. I sat there crying. Roman walked in and sat on the floor beside me. He washed my back for me.

Me: Roman, I could have been dead today, me and our kids, even our unborn child.

He looked at me , he was so angry.

Roman: I'm sorry baby, all of this is my fault. I bet you regret ever meeting me.

I looked at him.

Me: Roman Peters, I do not regret meeting you, I love you!! You are the father of my kids, I'm in this with you.

He tried to smile but he couldn't.

Roman: I just feel like I ruined your life, you were sweet, and humble before you met me.

Me: shh, I don't wanna hear anymore of that non sense , you didn't ruin my life Roman, you and those babies are the best thing I ever happened to me.

Roman: do you mean it?

Me: hell yes!! Now get in this bathtub and make love to me.

We laughed, he took of his clothes, climbed in the bathtub and we made love.
