Chapter 99

Ella

Finally… after spending two whole days inside this stupid Hospital room, can I finally go home. Having had my 18th Birthday officially ruined by someone spiking my drink that day with Kris and Alanna do I move to sigh softly.

My hand now resting along my stomach. My brain still trying to wrap itself over the fact that I was really 8 weeks pregnant. Shock the only thing I feel because I couldn’t believe I had gone that long without noticing.

Granted, there was one time when my period was light. Like super light but I only chalked it up to stress. A stress I was currently going through because of graduation. A stress because both of my parents were gone. Both dead.

And stress because of Nicholas and James. Two people who I hoped I would never have to see again. My mind now on Hannah. A bitch who tried to drown me within the pool of our estate. A woman I was beginning to hate.

A smile soon rising at the thought of our next big home. A home I couldn’t wait to help decorate and make it officially ours. A home where I could give each of my men an heir. A child. For while I might not know the exact gender of this child, I definitely knew I wanted a big family.

My mother being Italian was raised with the notion of having large families. And while my mother never did tell me who my biological father was, mom always tried her best, even going as far as to change the subject whenever I asked about the man who created me.

Alex Knight being the only father figure within my life. His Irish accent always fun to hear whenever he was around us. Especially when he spoke so passionately about my mom. As if my mom meant more to him than anything else.

Reece, Caleb and Dylan being Alex’s only children from a past fling.

A surprise for me when mom told me that she had finally met someone who truly loved her. My eight year old self super excited for her. And while I knew of Alex at the tender age of six, it wasn’t until I was eight that they made if official between the two families.

My thoughts soon interrupted by a knock. My eyes now on the door. “Good Morning Ella. Are you finally ready to head home?” asks a nurse as she comes to check me over.

“Yeah. I’m super excited.”

“I bet. I’m sure your husband is even happier!”

“Husband?”

“Oh yes, the man from two days ago. He stood about 6’3 and wore a couple of tattoos. He came in with his other two brothers.”

At the mention of Reece do I try not to blush. The nurse clearly fawning over him. A wave of jealousy rising within me. Get a grip girl. Reece wouldn’t do that to you, I say. Now mentally scolding myself as I try to get a better hold of my emotions.

The nurse still going on and on about Reece, Dylan and Caleb. “Your so lucky to have a man like that. He can’t be no older than what, 30?”

“28 actually.”

“28? Dam is he fine. Do you think his two brothers are single then? Because if they are I’d love to meet them.”

“Actually… their both taken as well.”

“Really? Shame, I would have loved one of them.”

Upon hearing that do I try not to gloat. A part of me really wanting to be petty towards her. To tell her that Dylan and Caleb were both mine as well but knew that I couldn’t. Not with Reece spilling the beans about me being his wife. Their wife. A roll I haven’t said yes too yet.

A conversation I would soon have to talk to them about. A conversation about public display of affection or PDA. For while each of them wanted to claim me as their wife there was only room for one husband while in the public eye and the question was who? Who would be that husband while in public?

The nurse now checking over vitals and any last minute details before finally removing the IV from within my arm. The nurse kind enough to give me a band aid while in the process.

“There you go, all set. The doctor will be in shortly to check you over as well, once cleared you’ll be free to go home.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem. Take care Ella.”

“Thanks you too.”

Then with nothing further does the nurse move to leave the room. My body now moving to lean against the pillow. Another part of me now back on the whole husband scenario.

I can’t believe Reece actually said that and in public too.

Blushing at the thought do I fail to notice when somebody else comes to visit me. “You look cute when you blush. Makes me want to eat you.” The voice soon drawing my attention back towards the door.

My eyes soon meeting the one person who I did not want to see. James. “J-James? Why are you here?”

Smirking, James moves to enter the room. “Why I came to see you. Heard you were in the Hospital.”

“How?”

“The news of course. Lots of people apparently took lots of video of you fainting that day at the restaurant. To bad for me I wasn’t there to help. I would have swooped in and saved you in a heartbeat.”

Suddenly uneasy at the thought do I try and defuse the situation. A part of me not liking James’s suggestion at being rescued. “Thanks but no thanks.”

Attempting to move from the bed does James move to grab my wrist. Unaware that he had moved close to me when entering the room. A glare now rising along his face as he does. “Hey now… is that anyway to talk to someone? I mean after all we are family right?”

Confused by his words do I move to blink my eyes. “Family? I think not James.”

“Oh but we are Zvezdnyy Svet (Starlight). You just don’t know it yet.” James’s hold on me now tighter. A wince rising within me as I attempt to pull away from him.

“Let go. Your hurting me” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.

James still refusing to answer me as he moves to pull me closer. His lips now on mine even as I attempt to shove him off. James holding his ground. James quick to pin me back against the bed as he continued to kiss me.

The kiss eventually breaking when someone moves to pull him off. “Get the fuck off her. How dare you touch her. She’s ours.”

At the tone of the voice do I instantly move to see Reece. Caleb moving to hold me as Alanna held James. His arms now pinned behind his back.

“Let me go”

“I think not. Not until you leave her alone.”

“NEVER!”

“Fine have it your way. Alanna?”

Nodding her head does Alanna move to drag James away. Alanna now heading for a more secluded area where she could handle James without prying eyes. Reece and Caleb both checking me over.
