a few years later.
Today was Marco's birthday.
The man that was used to spoiling the whole world was in for a big surprise today. His family had something special planned out for him and they couldn't wait to shower him with love. Before the festivities later on, his wife and children decided to surprise him with breakfast in bed. Drea held a plate of food in her hand and their third child on her hip. There was now, Maddison, MJ and Melody and Marco Sr., was determined to get a fourth.
"Would y'all walk a little faster, I'm holding a big baby and a plate of food."
"Sorry mommy." Maddison was now six and sassier than ever. She knew that she had her father wrapped around her finger and she uses that to her advantage. Drea spoiled her as well but didn't over do it like Marco.
They finally got to the master bedroom, MJ ran ahead and pushed the double doors opened. Marco was already awake, scrolling through his phone trying to take care of as much business as he could. Money was falling from everywhere for these two. They had tattoo shops all over the city, strip clubs all over the country, a new bar and restaurant and Drea was now a real estate mogul. Being legit for them felt good. Marco was able to hand most of his illegal dealings over to his younger siblings, Ralph and Kyle.
Yeah, no matter how hard Lou tried to shield Kyle away, he was still intrigued by the money.
Anthony wanted more of the legal side of things as well so Marco lets him help with managing their clubs. That takes a little weight off of his plate.
"Happy Birthday daddy!" Mj yelled while using his 'super sonic' speed to run and jump on his father. They were twins, everything that Marco had, so did his Junior even down to their mannerisms. The messy gene didn't skip him either. MJ was always starting something with someone and he was barely four.
"Thank you Junior. Where my gifts?" Marco asked.
"Did you give me some money?"
"I gotta give you money to buy me a gift?!"
"Duh."
"Marco— alright bro, move." Mushing his son head, he pushed him out the way. "I know my princesses got me something special."
"Of course we did." Maddison batted her eyelashes and flashed her winning smile. She loved feeling like she was her daddy's favorite.
"Girl." Drea placed Marcos plate on his lap then sat Melody next to him. "Happy birthday."
He looked up at her. "Thanks."
The usually happy couple was a little upset with each other on this joyful day. Drea has been talking about how she misses the thrill of her old life and Marco thinks she's being ridiculous. He wanted her to focus on selling houses and buildings not shooting people. Then he found out that she took a meeting with her dad's old agency. They argued until they had nothing left to say.
This wasn't how Drea wanted things to be but at the same time she didn't care. Once she knew he was good with his food, she made her way downstairs making Marco shake his head.
