Mafia Protection

20- Home

Lexi's P.O.V.

Landing in New York, I was both happy and scared. Happy to be home but scared with what was about to happen.

My stalker was still out there and he could be anyone. I didn't even know who to suspect.

We were able to keep Kennedy hidden as Lucas's men surrounded us as we walked into our home. Helen greeted us as soon as we entered.

"Oh my God, I'm so glad you're okay Lexi." She pulled me into a hug and was slightly crying as she looked at Kennedy in my arms.

"This must be our little Kennedy. She's absolutely beautiful."

"Would you like to hold her?" I asked.

She was trying to hold back her tears as she nodded her head.

I had tears in my eyes too as I was watching Helen talk with Kennedy. Lucas wrapped his arms around me, watching as David join Helen.

"She's going to be spoiled." Lucas laughed.

"That's not a bad thing." I smiled but my heart hurt, I wanted so badly to call my mom and tell her to come over but I couldn't. I didn't trust my dad and I couldn't put Kennedy at risk.

"So, I cleared out the room next to your guys's room for Kennedy." Helen beamed.

David busted out laughing, pointing at me. "I told you she would."

Chris and Erin were laughing along with Lucas and I.

"Oh, do you have any idea how hard it was not to go and buy everything for Kennedy?" Helen asked.

"I'm sure it was difficult, but we can't risk people finding out about her. We brought everything that was at Chris and Erin's house so Kennedy's set for a while." David said.

"The boys are unloading all the stuff in the garage as we speak, we can have them bring it in when you're ready for it Lexi." Chris said, wrapping his arms around Erin.

After a while Lucas took Chris and Erin to their room so they could get settled in.

While they were getting settled in, Lucas and I immediately started setting up Kennedy's nursery with what I already had for her. We painted her room a light grey.

I was sitting on the floor finishing up feeding Kennedy, when Ben and a few other men entered.

"Boss, I got everything you asked for."

"Great, bring it up." Lucas smiled my way.

"What did you do?" I asked, smiling back at him.

"I sent one of his men into a different town to pick up a few things for her."

"What happened to using what I had?"

"We are, but I wanted her to have a crib and it to be more 'nursery' like, I guess."

"You're amazing, you know that?" I smiled, pulling him into a passionate kiss.

Lucas wanted to spoil his girl a little, so who was I to say no. He knew what he was doing, so I wasn't going to question him.

I was so happy to have him back with us.

Lucas helped me up, I rested her up against my shoulder so I could burp her when the boys started carrying in a chair, a crib and a small dresser.

Ben and Lucas started putting the crib together. Once it was done, they put down the bedding and I laid her down for her nap.

"Do you like it?" Lucas asked.

"I love it, and it matches with her other elephant things too."

Lucas ran out of the room and brought in the eagle from Max, placing it in her crib as she slept. "There, now it's complete."

I turned on the monitor, grabbed Lucas's hand pulling him into our bedroom.

He let out a hungry groan, picking me up by my ass as he kicked the door shut with his foot.

Laying me down gently on the bed, he hovered over me, "Marry me!"

I smiled. "What?"

"I know this isn't the big proposal I said you were going to get, but-"

I put my finger to his mouth, "I don't need a big proposal, Lucas. I have you and Kennedy, that's all I need... So yes, I will definitely marry you."

His lips instantly connected with mine, making us both moan.

"There's so many things I want to do to you Lexi." He whispered.

He started kissing me again, massaging my breasts with his hand, then traveling lower.

"Are you wet for me, Lex?" He groaned.

Pulling him in closer I whispered, "I guess you're just going to have to touch me to find out."

******
Over the next week, we told everyone in the house we were officially engaged. David and Helen moved into Lucas' house for the time being. They all felt it would make us stronger and more protected as a big group.

We were all sitting down eating supper when Lucas cleared his throat.

"Lex, I want to run something by you since we're all here. I talked with Dad and Chris earlier today and I was thinking that since nothing has happened yet we should go out in public together."

"Okay...?" I said, hesitantly.

"If your stalker doesn't know you're here, how can we move forward and kill this prick? I was thinking we can go out to dinner so people will see us out."

"I'm not trying to be bitchy here, but the last time we went out to dinner, that night ended very badly for us."

"I've actually been in contact with Jack. He will be around as a witness also."

I pushed my plate forward. I wasn't hungry anymore.

"Fine, excuse me... I need some air." I got up and headed for the back door.

After closing the door, I leaned against the railing of the deck, taking a deep breath of the cool crisp air.

I heard the door open behind me. "Babe, are you okay?"

"No. I don't want to complain because I am so thankful for all of you and your help, but I can't help but feel someone else is going to die. I'm trying to get over that Lucas, but I can't."

He came over and wrapped his arms around me, resting his chin on my shoulder. "I know."

He turned me around, whipping away a stray tear.

"Should we think of a different plan? I was also thinking that we could make a list of people we suspect and cross their DNA with the blood sample Chris has. I think Peter is our number one suspect."

"If you want to go out, we will... but maybe we could also do that second option too. I still don't think it's Peter though."

"You're okay with going out?"

"Not really, but I don't really have a choice. I don't want to be locked up with Kennedy for the rest of our lives. I want us to go to the park together, show her around the city. I want to be a family and not have to worry about this guy anymore."

"I want that too, let's go catch this guy."
