Seb

Stephan and I met with Tammy and Justin a few days ago. We all went to a little diner in town. It was mainly small talk. When they tried to ask when ari and I were getting married, I told them ari and charlie were off limit topics. They didn't bring them up again.

I don't think either of them are bad people. I think they mad bad decisions and allowed drugs to control thier lives.

"Hey," ari sighs sitting next to me on one of the bar stools at the club house.

"Hey, angel. What's going on?"

"I think I need to figure out what to do with Lexia and daisy."

I turn my body to face her. "And what is it you'd like to do?"

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before speaking, "I think I want to let them go."

"Why?" I want to know her reason behind it.

"They weren't the ones that tortured me. Yeah they both had a part in my kidnapping, and neither of them told the club where I was. I don't know though sebby, I can't kill them."

"Whatever you want baby." I tell her kissing her forhead. "Have you told your dad?"

"No, he's in his office. Will you go with me?"

"Yeah, ofcourse." I tell her finishing my beer, before standing and grabbing her hand.

She knocks on the door and prez tells us to enter.

"Hey, sweetheart. What's up? Where's my princess?"

"She's at uncle parkers. She wanted to have a Slumber party with meadow." Ari tells him taking a seat across from him. I sit down next to her.

"I'm sure she'll have lots of fun. Now what's going on?"

"I want to let lexia and daisy go."

"Go where?"

"Free, I guess." Ari tells him.

Prez eyes move to me before going back to ari. "Is that what you really want?"

"I thinks so." She nods.

"Okay," he tells her. "I'll make sure they aren't here anymore."

"I don't ever want to see them or hear from them again."

"Okay, sweetheart." He tells her. When we stand to leave prez speaks again. "Wait up seb I need to have a word with you."

I look at ari and tell her, "go ahead angel, I'll be out there in a few."

She nods and walks out the door closing it behind her. Prez waits until in sitting back down before speaking. "I don't like it."

"Me either," I tell him truthfully. I don't trust either of them. "What do you want to do?"

"I won't kill them, that's not what ari wants. I won't let them go free either. I will contact Rhett see if we can send them down to Texas. I know he's got allot going in with his twins right now though. Maybe we can send them to new York, I'm sure nikolia wouldn't mind a couple more prisoners."

"You want to send them to the mafia?"

Prez shrugs, "it's across the country. We helped him a couple months ago with his little problem. I'm sure he'd be willing."

"Okay," I nod.

"She can't know seb." He stares directly at me, "she has to think they are just out there living their lives."

"I agree." Ari has such a kind soul she wouldn't want to know that her mom was being help by the bratva. I didn't care that lexia and daisy were going to rot in cells the rest of their lives.

"Now, what about the wedding?"

"What about it?"

"When is it?"

"I don't know," I shrug. "Whenever ari wants it."

"Before the baby comes right?"

"What baby?"

"You're not really that dumb are you?" Prez laughs.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, prez."

"Ari she's been puking, tired all the time,she cried last week at family dinner because there wasn't bread sticks, she's pushing all the stress out of her life, encouraging you to make amends with your parents." He blinks slowly at me like I'm an actual idiot.

"She's not pregnant." I laugh for only a moment before prez's hard stare makes it die down. " seriously?"

Prez shrugs, "she hasn't said anything, but yeah." It's his turn to laugh now at the situation, but at me.

"I gotta go." I say standing quickly from my chair to go find ari.

She's sitting at one of the tables. I walk up behind her bend down and whisper in her ear. "Anything you wanna tell me angel?"

She angles her head to look at me with a shy smile. "Daddy knew didn't he, it was bread sticks wasn't it?"

"You're pregnant?" She nods her head. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You're going through allot right now, handsome. I wanted you to figure things out with Tammy and Justin before I added more onto your plate."

"Please don't act like a baby is a burden on me, my love. This is the best news. I'm so happy and excited. You're making me a daddy again." I tell her with a huge smile. It's true, I can't wait to raise another child with ari.

"I wanted to finish school and be married before we had a baby."

"Angel, we can get married today. You will finish school. You have a huge support system, you have me. You can do whatever you want, with or without a baby."

"You'd be willing to get married so fast?"

"Ohh, sweet girl. I have wanted to marry you since our first date. If anything it has taken way to long to get you down the isle." I place a kiss on her lips. "I'm so happy baby."

"Me too" she tells me and smiles against my lips.

Two days later Jasper, eli, and Shane were taking daisy and lexia to new York. The mafia had no problem with a couple more prisoners. We owe them a favor now but that's a small price to pay to have less stress on my girl. Prez stuck as close to the truth when he told ari as possible. He told her that he set up a place for them to live in New york and they would never contact her again, she was happy with that.

She's busy planning the wedding and going to school. I can't wait to make ari my wife and help her achive all of her dreams.

"Goodnight princess. Daddy loves you."

"Goodnight daddy, charlie loves you." She tells me when I place a kiss on her forhead.

When I get back to my room ari is already in bed doing homework. "Hey, angel. Charlie is in bed."

"Thank you, I'm almost done."

"You don't have to thank me for putting our daughter to sleep." I tell her sitting next to her in bed. "There's something I want to talk to you about."

"What's up?" She doesn't take her eyes off her computer.

"I want to have my name on Charlie's birth certificate, and I want to adopt stephan. When we get married I want everything to be final. I want you all to be mine."

She stops typing and looks at me. "Sebby, we're all yours without all of that, but I agree. You're Charlie's daddy. And I don't want stephan to ever have to worry about going back into the system."

"Charlie obviously doesn't need to know, but what do you think stephan will say? I'm not going to force it if it's not something he wants. I'm his brother, not his parent. I just want to make sure he's here to stay, I want him to have stability and not have to worry about anything."

"I think he'll say yes. But even if he doesn't he's here to stay we will make sure of it." She gives me a sweet smile.

I place my hand on her stomach, "when are we going to tell them?"

"Whenever you want."

"Tomorrow?"

"Sure, that's fine. How do you think they will take it?"

"I think they will be happy. You know once charlie knows everyone's going to know right?" I chuckle a little but it's true. Our little girl will scream it from the roof top.

"I hope they are happy. I'm happy sebby. You make me happy."

"Happy wife, happy life." I wink at her before getting up to go shower.
