Chapter 42

I am sorry, I truly am very, extremely sorry!

*******

Flora cries as she hugs the baby in the arm as the plane takes off and Rolfe leaves her alone with the child as he pulls his wallet and stares at his three musketeers, his three little angels.

Pushing the blanket around the baby Flora stares at the sleeping child's face and her guilt increases, toucher her little finger she runs her fingers lightly promising she will do everything in her to protect the girl.

Wiping her tears, Flora eyes Rolfe who shuts his wallet and puts it away as he eyes her.

"Call my father, tell him we got the child and pull all of his men away from Richie's family" Flora states and Rolfe frowns before he smiles.

"I think he got the news already"

"But the men..."

"They are already out and away from the family" he assures and Flora nods her head as she looks away from him.

Salvatore smiles as he watches the car enter through the gates before it stops. Watching his daughter walk out through the door his smiles widens before his smile turns into a grin as he stares at the bundle in her arms.

"I don't know how you did it but I could never have been proud of you than I am today" he states as he steps down putting his hands out for her to handle the child.

"Don't be proud, I am not letting your filthy hands touch her. Not when her own father could not hold her in her arms"

"Don't be an emotional fool, Flora"

"You wanted me to bring her here and I have, but you will have to kill me first to get to her"

"Fine, have her with you, she must be hungry anyways. I will visit her after she is settled down" he sighs as he turns his head and Flora's eyes widens as fear creeps in staring at a worried looking Molly.

"Lauren just gave birth but she does not look so well" her words cut Flora deep so she rushes to the woman's side.

"Take me to her" Flora orders but Molly glances towards Salvatore.

"Take her, my daughter just did her first crime this is the least I can do as a reward. You make me happy, daughter" he grins and Flora keeps her mouth shut before following Molly.

*******

"She lost a lot of blood; your father did not let us get a doctor" Molly informs and Flora pauses in her steps.

"Luc" she breathes scared.

"We have not seen him or the boys" Molly states scared and Flora does not know if she should go ask her father or check on Lauren.

"Be strong, Flora. No matter how strong the wind is blowing or even if all your petals falls down, you hold onto your roots...

Stay strong, the storm will stop, it has to" Molly tries to assure her and Flora smiles sadly before she hurries to check on Lauren.

Opening the door, Flora tries to stay strong, smiling as Lauren turns her head to stare at her.

"Congratulations" Flora states walking towards the bed.

"I don't know, if I should be happy or if..."

"Happy, you should be happy. Now let me see him" Flora states as she touches Lauren's hand.

"You are too sure it's a boy" Lauren smiles as she shifts a bit in the bed.

"It was not a hard guess" Flora whisper as she chokes a bit.
