Regal : Majestic (Book #1) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 24

"What do you want Rick?" his grandmother asks the boy as she pours a glass of milk for him.

"I need a brother" he demands.

"I made you pancakes" his grandmother smiles as she walks away.

"I said I want a brother" he demands once again loudly as he stares at his mother who quietly eats her food.

"Mom" he shouts.

"What?" she shouts back childishly.

"I said I want a brother"

"I heard"

"Then give me one" he states standing on the chair while his mother glares his way.

"Go ask your father for one" she snaps annoyed at his behavior as it has been few days he has been demanding a brother to play with.

"He gave it to Lena, I want one from you" he pouts as he jumps from the chair and runs out of the room throwing a tantrum and all color is lost from Alana's face.

With shaky legs Alana slowly gets up from the chair, she does not hear her mother calls as she follows her son. She finds the boy on the living room surrounded by his toys while their dog is tearing the carpet.

"What did you say?" she whisper asks and Rick just ignores her turning his back to his mother as if he did not hear.

"Rick" she calls once again and the boy starts to talk with his dog instead.

"Is Lena back home with daddy?" she asks kneeling in front of her son.

"She says she has my brother inside of her, mommy but why can you not give me a brother" he pouts as he puts his toys away.

"When?" she demands.

"Dad said she is staying at home for a while. Is that why you cannot go back home mom?" he asks as he goes to sit on his mother's lap.

"Is she at home with dad, now?"

"She is always there, we play together while dad is locked in with work" the boy states and Alana pick up her son raising up from the ground.

"Then, we should go see your father and how your new brother is doing" she fumes.

Richie holds onto Lena's hair as she throws up on the sink, before taking the water he hands her, he moves away before he holds his cup of coffee.

"Can you not drink that shit for few days? It makes me sick" she complains and he just stares sipping on his cup.

"What did you except? Women get morning sickness all the time" he shrugs his shoulder.

"It's such a pain" she mumbles taking a seat as she stares at the untouched food.

"Should have thought it before going for it all" he shrugs his shoulders.

"It's all your fault" she snaps at him in anger.

"No, it's all yours. You could have easily aborted the child if you did not want it but you are here, so enjoy your morning sickness and throws up" he states as he takes his paper and starts to walk away.

"I am the mother of your child to be show some respect" she shouts at him and he stops turning around to answer her but the screech of tires stops him.

Moving towards the door he goes to check who it is but before he could the bang of the door and his son's scream stops him.

"Mommy has gone mad" Rick's voice brings a chill down Richie's spine and he braces himself for the impact of that madness.
