eight years later
I'm returning home after buying some ingredient's for todays dinner, Everett said he was too tired to do so and i was happy to get some fresh air so i drove and bought them.
i parked my car and went to the door, i love when each time i go out and then return Atlas always comes running to his mommy to hug me. he turned two this year, his uncles spoiled him so much that i bet he'll grow spoiled
i open the house door but i was meet with a surprise, there is not atlas running towards me with a big smile and little tiny legs
"Atlas baby" i shout
"I'm here" i hear his tiny voice from another room, i go there and i was surprised when i heard
*boom*
i see colorful little papers all over the place, balloons and everyone i love
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" they all shout at the same time, my smile gets wider when i see all of them
mom, Alice, Nate, Samuel, twins, Diego and my husband holding Atlas
"mommy" he stretches out wanting for me to hold him, i take him in my hands and give him kisses
"where's my kisses huh" Everett wines, i give him a kiss on a cheek and then turn to my family
"i was surprised why none of you called today" i hug all of them, then look around and see balloons in shape of twenty six, i can't believe it myself, me turning twenty six?
"did i buy those thing for nothing?" i question and they smile awkwardly, i shook my head and went to the kitchen after i left Atlas with his uncles
"let me help" Everett suggests as he puts the things on their place "sorry i said i was too tired to go buy things on my own, we needed for you to leave the house for a little" i smile at him
"it's okay love" i assure him
my whole life i thought i was designed to be alone, and i was for most of my life the things i been through to be here among those people. i would never thought some boys whom i had to live with would be my child's uncles, never thought that i would fall for one of them who now he's my husband, we been married for six years
the things he tolerated with, the things he made me to overcome, he didn't lie when he said he'd chase after me because he did, i was harsh with him but no matter what i did he would still look at me as if i didn't just cursed his whole bloodline, especially when i was pregnant
even now i remember the time when when Everett rushed me to the hospital as my water broke. He immediately called everyone, the boys raced behind us with such speed that they nearly arrived at the same time we did.
Connor was making jokes trying to make my mood better but thanks god Diego understood that i was getting pissed so we then were left alone. i love remembering that time
"mommy" i hear Atlas
"yes" i look down
"what- what is shit mean" he said what now?
"who said that word love huh?" i ask him, everyone here knows how strict i am when it comes what my son learns and hears, and i need not such words around him
he points his tinny finger towards the door where in see out of breath Connor
"i swear it was on accident" he defends himself
"wasn't word f-u-c-k as well" i spell it so he won't hear it one more time
"it was an instinct i swear, don't hit me please" i roll my eyes at him, last time this happened with F word i was beating him with a wooden spoon so Atlas would see what not to say or he would have the same ending
"what is happening" Diego joins us
"uncle Diego will take uncle Connor and scold him, yeah?" i look at them
"he said the bad word didn't he" we nod
they all walked away, i take my boy in my hands and we look as Everett is preparing things, i love seeing him like this, knowing what type he is or was, knowing what work he did but guess what, he stopped the second he found out we were going to be parents, he refused to continue being heir of mafia his father created and hoped for it to last ages, not only that his last name ended with him, because Everett took my last name after we got married.
so now we live peacefully, no violence, no enemies just us, and I'm happier then ever. i like this life and i wouldn't have it without him.
he made sure i was happy, even when he wasn't happy, when he had hard days, he'd always repeat 'you need me more right now'
i look behind me as i see everyone having fun, how cold hearted Diego turned into the best uncle possible, i like this, i like the new chapter of life that i started, and i called it peace.
