The Mafia Family

Chapter 43

"Nobody, and I mean nobody will ever touch my kids again!" Juliette pulled out her gun and pointed it in Victor's face. "I will protect my kids from people like you! Blood or not, I see them as my own and I will protect them!"

"No you won't! You will never give them what they want! You can't promise them the safety they will encounter! They will be taken away from you! They're not you're children!"

"You're right. I can't promise what I can't keep. But I can promise that I will care for them and love them as if they were my children. They may not be mine by blood, but blood doesn't make a family, love does. I fought to get here for them. I risked my friends lives for them because I love them. I won't throw throw them out, I won't stopped loving them, I will protect them no matter what. Because they are our kids. Tulip and Grayson are not worthless. They're not going to struggle anymore. I'm they're mother and Elijah is they're father."

"You don't care about what other people will say? Think about that!"

"I don't care about what they say. If they say something bad about them, I'll make them pay."

"Oh my dear, you won't do it. You won't shoot you're own godfather, are you?" He slowly stood up, Victor laughed as he knows Juliette would never shoot her godfather, the man that is family. He kept laughing until Juliette fired and the bullet hit Victor's chest, a clean shot. He stood still and in shocked, she couldn't, he looked at her, she was calm and collected. No regret. Didn't waste a second. She did it. She shot him.

"I will if they're a threat to my family. Goodbye Victor." Victor fell to his knees, holding his chest from the bullet, he can't die! He has so much to do! He can't die yet! He turned around to grab his dagger when Maverick casually shot him in the face and fell down. "That's for my boy."

Juliette ran and hugged both Dash and Rocky. Hugging and kissing them with the love and care she has for them. "Are you guys OK? Rocky how are you doing?"

"You were awesome Mom!"

"Mom?"

"Can I... Call you that?"

"Yes. Yes you can. I'm your mom. And Elijah is your dad." Dash was so full of joy that he hugged her and ran towards Elijah, who hugged him as they laugh.

But for Rocky, she just sat there, not sure what to say but she said what needed to be said. "You came. You really came when your aunt said you wouldn't because you don't care about us. You came for us."

"You don't have to worry about her anymore. And she's wrong, I do care about you and Dash. And I'm going to give you the life and chance you deserve to be happy. No more fighting to survive or struggle. Rocky, whatever happens, I will never let anyone lay a hand on you. You will never going to suffer at the hands of some man who tells you he loves you every time he beats you. Look at me, Tulip, these bruises and scars will end because you are not going back to that District ever again. You are not going to lay on your back for some money and drugs, you will not suffer no more. I can't promise you anything but I can promise that you would never feel alone. You have us. We love you, Tulip." Rocky stood still and tears started to flow as for the first time, Rocky let the tears stream down and cried, jumped to Juliette as she held her close.

Juliette held her as she cried, finally feeling like a kid. Elijah along with Dash head over to them and hugged as a family they are going to be.

The hospital was not so busy when Renny and Flynn came running in as they were carrying Joey who was weak and yelled for help. "Somebody help! This boy is not moving and he needs help!"

"Oh my God! Billy!"

"William!"

"The boy is fine, but let's go now!"
