The entire month in Curacao was unforgettable. Just me and Diana together. I wish didn't end but, need to get back. Diana needed to go to the doctors to check on the baby. She's a month into her pregnancy. We drove back home from the airport. I noticed Francis house was empty and had a for sell sign on it. Diana went inside the house while I brought the luggage. I then heard an ear shattering scream from inside the house. I dropped the luggage on the porch running inside. I seen Diana standing in the livingroom hands over her mouth and crying. I looked on my wall to see large messaged painted red. "Death will come to you both!" It read. I wrapped my arms around Diana whom was shaking with fear. "He got out. He's coming for us." she weeped. "Don't be afraid. I will protect you I promise." I replied. I tried hide the anger in my voice but, it slipped out. "Go upstairs, I'm going to clean this up." I continued giving Diana a peck on the lips. She nodded her head and went upstairs. I took out my camera snapped pictures of the wall. I went into the kitchen filling a bucket up with hot water. I poured some soap in the water and grabbed a scrub brush. I started scubbing the dried up paint from the wall. That bastard had the nerve to come into my house and pull this stunt. Like hell I'm goibg to let Francis theaten Diana. I could care less about me. She mattered more. I finished cleaning the wall and brought the luggage into the house. I closed the front door locking it. I ran over to my car and got in. I didn't want Diana knowing where I was going. I pulled up into Gwen and Joseph's house. I ran to the door knocking on it. Gwen opened the door. "Hi Robert." she greeted. "Do you by any chance know where Francis law firm is?" I asked. "Yeah, its in downtown. Corner of Main and Polk street. Why do you ask?" "I'll explain later, thank you." I got back into car and sped off.
I arrived to Jefferson and Rojas law firm. I walked inside and stood in front of the receptionist. "Can I help you?" she asked. "I need to see Attorney Jefferson like right now." I replied frustrated. "Um, he's kind of busy right now." "I don't care. Is this his door?" I pointed at the door behind her. "Yes but-," I stormed up to the door and waltz right in. I seen him at his desk alone. All I could see was red as I walked up to his desk. I grabbed him by his collar yanking him up from behind his desk. "YOU PSYCHO FUCKING BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU BREAK INTO MY HOUSE AND THREATEN US!" I yelled in his face. I shoved him against the wall and punch him hard in his gut. "Fuck you, Robert! I had every right. You stole my wife from me!" he shouted and punched me in the rib. "She was never a wife to you. She was nothing but, your personal punching bag. You didn't deserve her." He grabbed the collar of my shirt and slammed me against the bookshelf. "When you least expect it, I'm going to make her scream and wish she was never born. You're going to watch her bleed as I cut her heart out stomping on it until IT STOPS BEATING!" screamed Francis. My blood boiled and I kneed him in the rib. He fell to the ground and got on top of him wailing on him. He kicks me off of him. He then lunges at me and we break the window in his office. I felt the wind was knocked out me as I laid there on the glass. I seen people on the sidewalk looking at us. I get up to see Francis laying there. I picked up a large piece of glass and kneeled down to him. I grabbed his collar and raised my other hand behind me. Just as I was about to stab him I felt a hand gripped on mine. It was Diana. I get up from the ground as she held my hand. "He's not worth it. Don't give him a reason to have you taken away from me." she said. She was right. I held up the piece of glass stained with blood from my hand. I let it fall to the ground as it shattered beneath my feet. Diana glances over at Francis. "You will keep this to yourself?" she asked Francis. He scoffed at her and got up. "Get the hell out of my sight." he snapped. Diana puts her arm around me as we walked to my car.
I laid there in the hospital bed. I had to get stitches in my hand and arm. "What in God's name were you thinking? You leave the house without telling me. I had to ask the neighbors to take me where you were. You fight with Francis and try to kill him. Your not helping the situation by provoking him. Do you think it was right? I don't want to lose you Robert. What you just did was the single most stupidest thing you've ever done? I get it he pissed you off. The least thing you could have done was be a man about it and not give in to his stupid ass." argued Diana towards me. I just sat there disappointed at myself. I let Francis get to me. Everything she had said was right. I let out a sigh and avoided eye contact with her. I was too ashamed to look at her. She sat down next to me. I felt her hand stroking my hair gently. "Don't be upset with me." she said softly. "I'm not honey. You have every right to be angry with me. You were right and apologize." I assured her. "I forgive you. Just promise me you'll put your cave man ways to rest. We don't want to lose you." I smiled at her placing my hand on her stomach. "For our family I promise." Diana leaned down giving me a kiss on the lips. "Give another one. Your kisses make the pain go away." She giggled at me pressing her lips against mine once more. Our lips moved with slow rhythm. Our tongues caressing eachothers softly. We left the hospital and headed back home. I called Brinks security to have a system installed in the house. I wanted Diana to feel safe again. They came by the next day to set it up. We watched attentively as the showed us how it works. Only Diana and I knew the code. For once, she felt safe being at home alone while I was at work.

Diana was sitting opening all the gift that our neighbors had gotten for the baby. Gwen helped me throw a baby shower. Well, she organized and I just paid for it. Diana had the most beautiful pregnancy glow. She was two months away from giving birth to our son. I couldn't wait for fatherhood. I took tons of pictures through out the entire shower. She looked so happy as she showed me the cute outfits that Gwen and Joseph got. "Have you guys picked a name for the baby?" asked Norma one of the 10 neighbors that showed up. "Yes, we have. Robert you tell them." replied Diana giving me wink. "Our son is going to be named after my favorite singer. Mick Jagger Downey." I announced jokingly. Everyone's reaction was priceless. "I'm kidding!" I blurted out. The room was filled with laughter. "For a minute there you had me." said Norma. "No way I would name my kid that. His name is actually going to be Xavier Nicholas Downey." "Such cute name. I can't wait until he is born." "Neither, can I. He's wearing mommy out." said Diana. Everyone laughed and we continued chatting amongst ourselves.
After the party I was in the baby's room. It turned out great. The walls were painted light green with yellow duck design in every wall. Sail boats elegantly painted with water waves. I took all the gifts and placed them where they needed to go. I stood there for a moment looking over the room. "You are going to love this room, son." I said out loud to myself. Suddenly, I heard the security alarm go off. The bedroom door slammed behind me. I went to open it something was in front of it. Someone is in my house. There was no windows in the room so I started kicking the door. I picked up one of the chairs and slammed it against the door. I heard Diana screaming in the hall. I kept bashing into the door. The door broke open and I shoved it open. "FRANCIS PLEASE!" screamed Diana. I ran toward the stairs to see Francis pulling Diana out the door. He sees me and fires the gun. He missed as I hide behind the wall. "Let her go Francis. For christ sake, she's pregnant!" I shouted. "Fuck you!" he yelled. I seen he had left out. I ran downstairs and onto the porch. He shoots the gun again. He misses. He shoves Diana in the backseat slamming the door. He gets into the car and speeds out of the driveway. I could hear the police sirens getting closer. I seen Diana banging on the window screaming. I ran after the car but, he drove off too fast. "DIANA!" I screamed as I watched the car disappear.
