Forever, Amore

35.

Monroe's P.O.V

"Why hasn't someone taken them out yet?!" Leo yelled down the line as gunshots filled the air. "We're trying, all their shit is bulletproof. Actually, fuck that, these things could be bomb proof. They've been modified, we can't even shoot the tires, there's no clean shot."

I just sat listening to all this unfold, trying to stay calm. Stress isn't good for my babies. That's all I had to focus on right now.

My phone buzzed, showing that Lorenzo was calling me. I answered and put it on speaker. "Listen boss, there's no clear shot. We can't shoot these things down so I'm gonna take them out myself." I shook my head and protested but Lorenzo cut me off. "I'll be fine. Not my first rodeo, princess. Listen boss, me and a few other guys can see them in front of us. We're about thirty seconds away. We'll drive them off the road, just tell the fleet to keep moving. And, Monroe?"

I clutched the phone. "What? What is it?" He chuckled as the sound of his engine roaring filled the line. "If you have a boy you better use the name Lorenzo." I could hear him laughing to try and make me feel more relaxed, but by the defeated look on Leo's face and Enzo's heavy breathing, I knew this was way too dangerous.

"I'll add it to the list.." I said sadly as he hung up the phone. Turning around, I watched as Enzo's red Ferrari pulled towards the white porches along with two other cars which I saw parked in the garage at home.

Two guys took out the white cars at the back, leaving enzo with the guy who was still tailing us. His car whipped into the white one, sending them both launching towards the side of the road into oncoming traffic.

Despite Leo telling me to look away, I kept my eyes glued on what was happening as the porche slammed into Enzo's car. They bumped each other a few times before Enzo rammed hard into the other car, flipping both their cars into the oncoming traffic on the highway. I watched as a large truck came speeding towards the cars, ramming into them both. It clipped the side of the white one, but Enzo? I watched as his car was flattened by the truck.

Instantly, I screamed out his name as Leo ordered someone to send help to Lorenzo as I cried. Leo caressed my thigh as I held my hand over my mouth. "Is he dead?" I asked in a shaky voice as Leo sighed. "I don't know, amore. People are on their way to help him. But we need to get out of here before more people find us."

I nodded, still in shock from what I watched as we sped into the air strip. The twelve SUV's that came with us surrounded the car as 80 men hopped out of them, guns in their hands.

They surrounded us as he headed up into the private jet. As I sat down, Leo, Noah, Kat and Carlos hopped in alongside some other guards. It didn't matter now considering everyone knew I was having children.

The door to the jet was about to close when tyre screeching filled my ears followed by heavy gunfire. Leo barked at the plane to take off as I watched out the window as our men fought off my father's. "We can't just leave them here, leo!" I pleaded but he told them to go faster.

I understand I have to protect my babies, but those people? Those people were still family to me. They've saved my ass many times and now I was flying away as they fought a fight caused by me. That was a thought that was harrowing. But even worse was the fact I didn't know if Lorenzo was dead or not. He'd be one lucky motherfucker if he survived that shit.

The whole plane ride there, we discussed plans for when we landed. Leo was taking me to a safe house in Ireland. He had some allies there too in case we needed man power. No one knew how long we'd have to stay here which I think was the worst part. We're stuck in a country I'd never been before, I'm pregnant with twins somewhere not in my whole birth plan, I might not even get to go to the amazing baby shower that Kat planned for me.

The only thing keeping me from completely losing it was the thought that Leo and I kept these babies safe just a while longer. That's the outlook we decided to have recently - focus on keeping them alive a moment longer. So that's what I'll do. I'm not going to worry about the fact I'm six months pregnant. I'm not going to worry about how long I'm here for.

I'm just focusing on keeping those two pure hearts beating inside me.
