Falling for the Mafia Queen

Part 15

Normally, Amelia is all smiles and laughing but today was not one of those days. Quite frankly she looked scary, I kept waiting for the couch to eat me whole. She took a while to consider her husband's question and the situation in front of her before answering. Zander was still holding my hand and I couldn't help but squeeze it tighter as every minute passed.

"You two both love each other, that much is obvious from all of Zander's sneaking out. Oh don't look so surprised Zander, you know we have cameras everywhere." I heard Zander's breathing increase next to me, matching the pressure when he squeezed my hands back. "I think there is a way to make this work in everyone's favor." Marcus sighed taking in his wife's words before looking back up at us.

So much has happened in the last forty-eight hours that I found my mind wandering back to my fathers' words from earlier 'your judgement has burned the family before'. The words kept ringing in my head over and over, and I found myself reliving the incident all over again.

"Beck, come on. It's your seventeenth birthday, aren't you even a little curious as to what goes on inside some of your fathers' business?" Liv was touching up her hair while she was talking to me, naturally her hair was a white blonde but decided to dye it bright red and I never would really understand why.

"Liv, you should know the rules by now. She can have both of us but can't know about the business." Yuniz had come out of the bathroom and plopped onto the bed beside me while talking. He was in his favorite ripped up black jeans, Ramones shirt with no sleeves, and combat boots. Liv and I had finally convinced him to stop dying his hair black and it was his natural dirty blonde again.

"You make a good point." She was touching up her lipstick before turning to face us and grabbing her heels from the closet revealing the corset and leather pants she was wearing. "But Beck you won't keep us for long if you stay in those sweats." I was already being pulled back into the closet and clothes thrown at me before I could protest. Liv had pulled out my black skinny jeans, high heel combat boots, and a low cut sliced black t-shirt. I protested her doing more than my mascara while I put my hair in a high bun.

"So as much as we love your plan for your birthday, we're changing it up. You're gonna need this." Yuniz handed me a birthday box, while him and Liv both put on their motorcycle jackets.

"I told you guys I didn't want you to get me anything." I started opening the box with hesitant hands as Liv answered for the both of them.

"While it's a good thing it's a present from my brother and not us." She had a small smile playing at her lips while I opened the box to a new motorcycle jacket with a rose and two wolves on the back.

I held back the tears while I looked at the family crest, "thank you." My words were faint but I knew they heard me because they started pulling me out of my room and down to my driveway.

"Now this, this is the present from Liv and I." In my driveway was a brand new Kawasaki Ninja 300 to match both of theirs.

"Alright, you clearly have a plan if you went through all of this trouble. What have you both been planning?" They exchanged a look but didn't say anything, Yuniz handed me a helmet before getting on his bike.

"All you have to know is that you're gonna have fun, now keep up." Yuniz was already halfway down the street before Liv and I even had our helmets on.

"Just trust us." Liv gave me her best smile before putting on her helmet and taking off after Yuniz.

"The little boy out there, is he your son?" There it was, the one question I had been dreading.

I curled into myself and signed before answering, "what difference does it make if he is? Does it affect my current medical condition?"

"It could potentially affect -"

"No." I cut him off, I couldn't afford people finding out the truth based on hypotheticals. When I didn't say anything else Wiliiam gave a heavy sigh before leaving.

It had taken us more than a few hours to come up with a solution, but we finally came to an agreement. I was already five months pregnant but barely showing, and with how sporadic my menstrual cycle is I hadn't thought anything of it until I went in for my check up. With it already being winter it wasn't unusual for me to wear baggy clothes to stay warm, but our main hope now was to make sure I didn't show much more than I already was.

~ 3 months later ~

I kept focused on school the last few months, getting my schoolwork done ahead of time and preparing for my due date. With being so far ahead in school, and my high school allowing us to take days off to visit colleges I decided to collect on those days. As far as my school and classmates know I am visiting colleges for the next two weeks, in reality I will be having my son and changing my life.

The due date came quicker then when all realized but we were ready, the plan already in place just waiting for today. After today I wouldn't be known as my son's mother but as his godmother, Zander as his uncle, and Zoe as his mother. It was the best compromise we could come up with. We didn't want Zander's fiance to find out, and with Zoe not being able to have kids it worked out. Now the most important thing, making sure nobody ever found out.
