One Week Later

It's been a week Juliet met her parents. She's having dinner with them tonight. She invited me to the dinner.

Landon looks at me. "Are you sure you want to go to the family dinner with Juliet?"

I wrap my arms around him. "No, I would rather stay here with you and watch a movie. Maybe, even cook dinner and have a candle light dinner with you."

He shakes his head. "I prefer that idea than going to some restaurant with a family that I don't know."

I move my head back to look into his blue eyes. "You are going to be a part of that family. Juliet is marrying your brother after all."

Everyone around me seems to be doing everything that I want. They are getting married and having children of their own and I'm stuck with the agreement for four more months.

I pull away from him and sigh. "Landon?"

"Hmm," he looks at me.

I shake my head. "Nothing," I exit the room and walk into the kitchen. I scrub the kitchen clean.

Landon enters the kitchen wearing a tux. "How do I look?"

I move toward him and fix the tie. "You look dashing."

He winks. "Thanks, Babe."

I walk upstairs and have a quick shower. I exit the bathroom and put on a red dress that I got on sale.

As I enter the living room Landon turns to me and he whistles. "You look gorgeous." He takes my arm and we exit the house.

On the way to dinner my phone starts to ring. I hit the answer button.

Me: Hello, this is Mikayla.

Voice: Hey, sis. It's Sasha. I was talking to Elizabeth and Benjamin invited the family to The White House for dinner this weekend. Can you come, please?"

I look at Landon. I would love to go there for dinner. Landon and I will be going to New York on Thursday. I've never been there. So, I thought I might as well check it out before I go to The White House for dinner.

Landon slams on the breaks. He looks at me. "Did you say The White House?"

I nod.

He laughs. "This is exactly what I need for my business. Parker Inc., goes to The White House."

I slap his arm. "Shut up."

Sasha: That's great. I can't wait to see you. I'm going to the Doctor's when you come to Washington. Robbie and I will be finding out the sex of the baby. Can you come with us to the hospital?

I smile. I'd love to go with you to the Doctor's.

Sasha: I have something to ask you. She pauses. Would you like to be my child's Godmother?

Me: I would be honoured to be the Godmother.

Sasha: That's great. Do you think Landon would be alright with being the Godfather?

Me: Can you hang on a sec. I need to put you out loudspeaker. I pull the phone away from my ear. I hit the loudspeaker in my I-Phone. You can ask him now.

Sasha: Landon, we would like for you to be the Godfather of Dimitri and my child.

Landon: I would be honoured to take on that role. Thank you for asking.

Sasha: I know you love my sister and she feels the same about you. So, I couldn't think of a better person than you.

Voice: Sasha, we need to go. Mum and Dad...

I hear Sasha moan through the phone.

I hang up.

I didn't want to hear that.

Landon stops at traffic light, "Godparents, can you believe that?"

I shake my head. "No,"

He laughs. "Are you going to tell her about Juliet?"

I nod. "Yeah, I've finally connected with Juliet and I don't want my sisters to think I'm choosing one over the other. Even though, Sasha doesn't spend much time in Los Angeles I want to be free when she comes here."

Landon pulls the car in front of the restaurant. He steps out of the car. He rounds the car and opens the door for me.

I put on a horrible English accent. "Thank you kind, Sir." I tap my dress. "I'm sorry I don't have a tip for you."

Landon throughs his head back and laughs. "You don't need to tip me. Kiss me and we'll call it even, darling."

I step close to him and wrap my arms around his neck.

He lowers his head and his soft lips touches mine. I push my tongue into his mouth. He places a hand at the back of my head and he deepens the kiss.

I pull away from him. "Wow!"

"You took the words right out of my mouth."

Someone clears their throat behind us.

We turn in the direction and I see Nolan standing at the door. He shakes his head. "My Big Brother can't keep his hands off his wife. I can't wait for married life with Juliet."

Landon pushes his brother. "You'll be humping like rabbits and breeding like them too."

Nolan's face pales.

I slap his shoulder. "He's kidding, Nolan."

Behind my back Landon shakes his head and he mouths 'No, I'm not.'

I pull Landon inside by his tie. "I saw everything you did behind my back, Landon. I've known you for years and you always do the same things."

Nolan shows us to the table in the centre of the room. "This is us."

I look around the table and I see three guys that look around Juliet's age.

Quadruplets?

Mrs Kane looks at me. "I want you to meet my three boys. From left to right we have Benny, Leon and Jarvis. They are..." she trails off.

Juliet looks at me. "I am a quadruplet, Mikayla. Can you believe that? I have three halves to me."

OMG! Why did they have to take girls that were halves to someone else?

I start to feel hot and I run out of the restaurant. I lean against the wall and breathe in the fresh air.

Landon pulls me into his arms and I breathe in his sandalwood scent and it starts to calm me down. He kisses the top of my head. "Are you alright?"

I shake my head. "No, I hate those people that took me when I was younger. They destroyed so many lives and the lives of innocent children with their greediness. When I find them I'm going to make them suffer. I'm going to show them..." I cut myself off.

Landon cups my face. "You can't hurt them. I don't want you to go to Prison for something like that. You have to think about your daughter. When you hold her you will change your mind about hurting. Your daughter will need you and I. I will be there when you need me."

I feel tears fall down my face. "Landon, I need you to remind me of what's important until I can get to my child. Can you make sure I don't do anything stupid?"

"I'll do everything in my power to help you, Kay. I love you, my beautiful wife."

Landon and I enter the restaurant and we make out way over to the table. I sit with the Kane family. "I'm sorry."

Mrs Kane looks at me. "Are you alright?"

I nod. "Yeah, it's just everything that's happened lately has taken a toll on me. I wish that I could catch a break. But, that's not going to happen anytime soon."

Landon pulls my hand into his. He pulls my hand to his lips and he kisses it. "I love you."

I love the way he keeps reminding me of that. That's the one thing I've always wanted to hear from him and now he won't stop saying the words.

After dinner I exit the restaurant and I see a boxing ring across the street. I point to the building. "Can we go in there for a bit? I really need to work off some steam."

Landon looks and the crumbling building. "Is it safe to go in there?"

I cross my arms. "Are you being a snob now, Landon?"

He shakes his head. "I'm not a snob. I just don't feel like going into some building that has guys that are willing to kick my arse for being successful."

I laugh. "I'll kick your arse if you say that again." I move toward the building. "Are you coming?"

Landon follows me across the road. "Why are you really going in there?"

I smile. "You'll see." I push the door open and enter the gym.

I see a boxing ring and punching bags around the room. I can smell body odour throughout the room and I scrunch up my nose to the smell.

Landon whispers. "It stinks in here. Can we go home now?"

"No, I told you I need to let off steam and this is the type of place I need for that."

I see the owner standing next to the ring.

The owner is tall, muscular, he has a bold head, and brown eyes. He stands in front of me. "Are you in the right place? You know this isn't a prom or a wedding?"

I laugh. "It's a boxing ring. I'm here to let off some steam. I heard you've got the best team of fighters in this gym. Do you mind if I knock them around a bit for you?"

The guy's mouth drops open. "You want to fight my boys?"

I shrug.

"Are you going to wear that dress?"

"Yes, I'm going to wear this dress. Those boys can get blood on it. I'm not squeamish when it comes to blood. Besides I was trained by the fighter in the world."

He smirks. "Yeah, and who would that fighter be?"

I shake my head. "You'll figure that out when I'm in the ring with one of your fighters. Give me your strongest fighter."

He shakes his head. "I won't give you my top fighter. He needs to be in top shape for his fight tomorrow. I'll give you my fourth best fighter as I need the top three this weekend."

"Fine," I climb into the ring and pull my heels off. I sit on the seat at the corner of the ring.

Landon stands at the side. "Are you sure about this?"

I nod. "I'm not going to get hurt in the ring with this guy. All I need to do is watch the way he moves and then I know how to block the impact."

The guy smiles. "Hello, princess. Are you ready to show me your moves?"

I nod. "Of course. Do you know mixed martial arts?"

He looks at the owner of the gym and the owner nods. "Yes, I do. So, this is the way you want to fight me?"

I bell rings and I move to the centre of the ring.

He throws a right hook and I move out of the way.

I kick him in the stomach. He hunches over holding his stomach. I punch him in the face and he falls on the ground. I wait for him to climb back to his feet.

He holds onto the rope and pulls himself. He holds up a finger. "Can you give me minute?"

I walk over to Landon. "Can you get me some water?"

Landon kisses my cheek. "You look hot in that ring. How about you teach me some of those moves sometime?"

I shake my head. "Nah, I don't want to hurt that gorgeous face of yours."

I see the guy approach me from the corner of my eye. I swing my arm and it connects his face. He falls to the ground.

I look down at him. "Did you really think that you could sneak attack me? One thing I learnt from the top fighter was to pay attention to my six." I climb out of the ring. I stop in front of the owner. "Thanks for letting me in the ring with one of your fighters."

The owner opens his mouth. "The Mafia taught you to fight?"

I whisper. "Yes, don't tell anyone or they will come after you."

I wave at the guys as I exit the gym with Landon.

Landon puts and arm around my shoulders.
