Hello lovelies! We are in the last few chapters of this book....I know you're sad and honestly I am too! This book is my baby! I've written two but this one is by far my favorite. I have a new book in the making coming up! :) thank you all for sticking with me throughout this journey. Love you all!
-------------------------------

For the rest of my pregnancy everything was smooth sailing and uneventful except that Natalie moved in with Emilio which didn't really surprise me since she and him had been inseparable since I moved back in. I was thankful that Vincent and her had developed a better relationship which made it easier on me that two of my favorite people were able to get along.

We were finally done shopping for everything that we would need for the baby. We painted the nursery a navy blue and decorated it with forrest animals. I was getting anxious and nervous all at the same time meanwhile Vincent remained calm enough for the both of us. If you would have told me a year ago that we'd be here I would laugh because he wouldn't have even given me the time of day back then.

I stood up from the rocking chair in the nursery and woddled my ass to the basement to see Lorenzo. The past two months I have came down here everyday trying to talk to my brother, not that I ever got very far but I held high hopes for changing that.

I entered the key code to open the basement door and walked down the hallway to Lorenzo's cell. I looked through the door and noticed that he was sitting up reading a book. When I found out that Lorenzo was my brother I begged Vincent to make his cell into a bedroom but Vincent only agreed on giving him a full sized bed and some books to read. I opened the door and walked in, shutting it behind me.

"Hey I brought you some iced tea I figured you'd be thirsty." I smiled sweetly as I sat the tea down on the table by his bed.

"Thanks." He mumbled without taking his eyes off of his book. I sighed loudly hoping to get his full attention but I didn't.

"So how are you doing today?" I chirped as I sat down in a chair across the room from him. When I first started coming down here by myself Vincent was not happy at all and honestly it scared me being alone with him but I wanted to get to know my brother one on one.

"I'm fine Annabelle, is there something that you need?" He glanced up at me with no emotion on his face. His eyes pierced through mine making me shiver and not in a good way, but given our history could you blame me?

"I'm just checking on you Lorenzo no need to be snippy." I crossed my arms across my chest admitting defeat that coming down here was apparently getting me nowhere.

"I don't need you to check on me. I don't want you to check on me. I want to get the fuck out of here but that's not going to happen so just leave me alone!" He snapped at me and then went back to reading his book as if nothing happened.

"You're my brother! Are you really going to push me away like this? I've been trying to break the ice between us for two months but it's like talking to a brick wall with you." His head snapped my way and anger swam in his eyes.

"You think that because you're my sister that I want to know you?" He laughed wickedly making me squirm in my seat.

"Well don't you?" I asked him seriously.

"No! I don't." He slammed his book shut and stood up and started pacing the room in circles.

"Then why did you kidnap me? Or torture me? Or tell me that you were my brother? What would be the purpose of that?" I retorted back angrily.

"You think that it was easy growing up without a dad? To see your mom struggle to make ends meet? To find out that my dad gave me up because he met your mom. To know that he was being a perfect dad to you while we were struggling? If you think that I give a damn about you, you're wrong." He spat venomously while he looked at me with so much hatred in his eyes.

"That's not my fault Lorenzo. I didn't even know that I had a brother until you told me. Do I think it's right that our dad gave you up? Hell no I don't and I will never think it's okay. He should have figured out how to help raise you without being with your mom. I'm sorry that he left you Lorenzo believe me I am. Let us move past this, me and dad are trying to get to know you but you have to meet us halfway." I told him desperately. Our dad came to visit him at least two times a week but it always ended up in a yelling match between the two of them.

"I. Don't. Want. To. Know. You!" His voice was so low as he inched closer and closer to me until he was crouched down and just centimeters from my face.

"I don't believe that." I shrugged nonchalantly not believing him.

"You stubborn bitch! Can't you see that I hate you?" He threw his hands in the air and I felt like we were just going back and forth in circles not accomplishing anything except pissing each other off.

My stomach tightened catching me off guard causing me to suck in a deep breath. Lorenzo stared at me in confusion before he quickly changed his facial expression.

"There is a thin line between hate and love. I think that you told me that you were my brother because you do want to get to know me." I answered him trying to stay calm again before my stomach tightened again harder than it did before making me let out an ear piercing scream.

"Do you have to yell so fucking loud? It echoes in here." He said agitatedly.

"Something's wrong. I can feel it." I hissed in pain and started to rock back in forth in my chair hoping to relieve some of the pain but it only made it worse. I stood up and started to walk in circles.

"Like what?" Lorenzo asked confused. I felt something bust inside of me and warm liquid ran down my legs.

"I think my water just broke." I whispered shakily. My stomach kept tightening making me wince and hiss in pain.

"Annabelle that's not water, it's blood!" Lorenzo yelled his voice full of fear. I looked down and noticed that he was right as dark red blood ran down both of my legs and into the floor.

I felt the room start spinning and my knees started wobbling and then gave out. Lorenzo tried to catch me but I hit the ground before he got to me. I wrapped my arms around my knees. Tears pooled my eyes as I felt myself going unconscious. Something was wrong, very wrong. Fear spread throughout my body like wildfire.

"What can I do?" Lorenzo got down on his knees beside me looking like he had seen a ghost.

"Get Vincent." I whispered unable to talk any louder. I felt my body getting weaker and weaker with every second. My eyes closed and I couldn't open them I tried so hard but I didn't have the strength. My body went numb and I knew I was about to pass out after my body went limp.

"H-hhow? We are fucking locked in here!" Lorenzo yelled in fear.

"The keys are in my pocket." I whispered in between breaths. I felt Lorenzo starting to dig through my pockets.

"Annabelle don't you dare close your eyes you hear me?" Lorenzo's voice was shaking with fear. I tried a few times before I pried my eyes open.

"Hurry up- I'm about to pass out." I croaked out his eyes widened like saucers making him move faster to dig the keys out of my pocket. When he found them he pulled them out and started to unlock the door then everything went black.
