"How are you feeling querido?" Michael asked his wife as he helped her out of the bathroom.
"I'm fine mi amor, I think it's just a small bug," Joanna replied.
"We can go see a doc..."
"Non ti preoccupare," she growled. (Don't worry)
"Okay, fine," he said holding up his hands in mock surrender as they left their room heading to the dining room.

They found everyone already seated waiting for their breakfast.
A maid walked in placing different items on the table from eggs, sausages to bacon.
"Here you go angel," Ricardo said dishing out some eggs for her.
As soon as the aroma hit her nostrils, Juliet rushed out of the room heading to the bathroom.

At the same time Michael was asking his wife:

"Querido, would like some bacon with your eggs?"
As soon as the smell of bacon filled her nostrils she ran to another bathroom.

Both Ricardo and Michael ran after their wives, leaving Greg and Anita with smiles plastered on their faces.
Both ladies refused breakfast opting to go rest, after Anita forced then to take some tea and crackers which surprisingly they kept down.

A while later both men walked into the lounge to find Greg panicking as Anita's was clutching her stomach standing in a puddle of water. Ricardo ran up to their room throwing the door open he said, "Something is wrong with Anita!"

Julie quickly rushed out of the room with Joanna and Michael ahead of them.
"She is labour," she said as she took a look at her friend. "Greg! Snap out of this daze the baby is coming, we need to head to the hospital, now!"
"Micheal take Greg and get her bag, Ricardo get the cars ready tell the guards to be on high alert," Joanna ordered as Juliet took care of Anita.

"This is all your fault! I hate you!" Anita cried as another contraction hit her, in the hospital room.
"I know baby, please forgive me."
"You know what just leave, I don't want to see you!"
A pained expression marked his facial features as Michael and Ricardo pulled him out of the room, telling him it was the pain talking.

Juliet and Joanna stayed with her through out her long labour encouraging her the whole time as Juliet helped deliver the baby.
Juliet walked out of the room in search of the men.
"Congratulations Greg. You have a bouncing baby boy! Anita is alright don't worry," she told him after he enquired about his wife.
"Can...can I see them?"
"Yes of course she has been asking for you."

Anita and her son had to stay for a few days in hospital. Both ladies decided to stay by her side as the men left to take care of the Anthony matter.

"Adam is just too adorable," Juliet cooed as she held the child in her arms.
"So I know you two have something to tell me so spill," Anita said grinning at her friends.
"I'm pregnant," they both said simultaneously as Anita burst into laughter looking at each of them.
"This is wonderful news, soon Adam will have more playmates. Of course Ethan will be their big brother," Anita gushed.

Just then their door burst open as the limp body of one of their bodyguards slumped down to the ground. Anthony walked over the dead man, with a smile on his face. Juliet's face became pale at the sight of her exhusband.
"Leave us alone Anthony or else," Anita said as more men walked into the room.

"So this is Greg's family?" Ryan said as he scanned their faces with a disgusted smirk on his face. "Get them all out of here," he said as he turned to leave the room. Dragging the women out of the hospital, the receptionist tried to intervene but received a bullet in her forehead silencing her immediately. Both women screamed, shocked by such an inhuman act. Little Adam started to cry sensing something was wrong.

"Shut that thing up, or I will," Ryan snarled.
"Julie, Julie, Julie. What am I going to do with you?" Anthony said as he came closer to her.
"Leave her alone!" Joanna said shoving him off her.
"Why you little..." he said as he slapped her across her face.

They where quickly shoved into a car and it sped away from the hospital leaving a cloud of dust behind.

-------------------

"I am going to break every bone in that fools body, this I promise," Greg snarled as he paced in the hospital room his wife had been taken from.
"How did they get past your security?" Michael asked in an icy tone.

Jackson, Michael's associate and tracker walked into the room answering his bosses question.
"You have a mole, my guys have him back at the house. Phil is getting some answers from him, and Jack and Jonathan are overseeing the assembly of all the men. Some of your friends want to help, so they are already on their way from different countries.
"All your families are under lockdown, no one will touch them. Anyone who tries will die a slow painful death," Greg said walking out of the room taking out his phone.

A nurse came in holding some results.
"Your wives wanted me to give you these when you arrived before those men took them away," she said handing over the papers.
Looking down at the papers both men had mixed emotions of joy, anger and worry.
"We have to get them back, I'm going to be a father," Ricardo said.
"So am I, again," Michael said as he walked out of the room fuming.

------------

All the men assembled at Greg's house.
"I am sorry your wives had to get involved," Ricardo said.
"She is family, don't beat yourself up. They are all strong women, they must be giving those fools hell," Greg chuckled.
"Knowing my wife, I feel sorry for those boys, death will be their way out of the hell they must be going through right about now.

"Okay listen up!" Greg's voice rang loud and clear into the silent night. "Most of you I know personally so you know my wife, but someone has broken the code. Little Ryan just chewed off more than he could swallow, and tonight we show him who the big boys are! I am happy to have friends like you gentlemen so all I ask is that we send those kids back to their mommies crying tonight," he told all the men.
"Let's move out!" Phil said after they had been split up into three different groups heading towards Ryan's house were he held their wives captive.

---------------

"Listen egghead, I don't know if you can see this but you have a baby here and two pregnant women locked up in here. We need food and diapers in here now!"
"And also try brush your teeth while you are getting our food, your breath is making me nauseas," Juliet added.
"You know what I want pizza, with extra cheese and a bottle of sprite. Don't mess with my order, you do not want to deal with a hormonal woman, especially three of them. And get us some burgers too, with extra fries!" Joanna said.
"Make sure you get me good diapers while you are out there for a week old baby. One week old not four idiot!"

The young man walked out of the room with an angry expression mumbling to himself.
"Girls that's a lot of junk food," Anita said.
"Might as well make them suffer a bit, getting useless food while we are locked up. That will teach them never to hold three woman hostage," Joanna chuckled.

"I hear you are causing trouble," came the voice of Anthony as he walked into their room.
"If you don't behave there will be consequences," he said as he moved towards Juliet.

"Oh Joanna," came the voice of the last person she thought she would see. Ted walked up to her followed by Ryan.

Each woman faced her tormentor with anger etched on their features. They were tired of showing these idiots their fear.
"What do you want with us," Joanna said directing the question to Ryan ignoring Ted.

"Well Anthony here wants revenge against his ex wife. Ted wants to revenge for ruining his career, you see when I heard Michael was in the country with his wife I had to add another player to the mix just for fun. He was hard to find since Greg's men did a good job making him disappear, but money talks and here he is. As for Greg and I, our feud goes way back."

"You have broken the code Ryan, for your sake I hope you said goodbye to your family, because today you will all die," Anita said in a cold tone.
All the men laughed out loud walking out of the room.
"Just get them some water they seem parched, we wouldn't want our guests to pass out before the real fun begins.

"What code are you talking about Anita?"
"Greg told me that, no harm would come to me or our children because of certain rules in their world, one of them being that no man, friend or foe would touch another mans family. If they had issues they would solve them man to man."
"What happens if someone breaks that code?" Joanna asked.
Anita paused for effect looking a both women.
"Their whole family dies, leaving no trace of their existence. We need to get out of here when that guard comes back," Anita told her friends.

----------

"Are your men in position?" Greg asked through the earpiece.
"We are ready," came the response of Ricardo and Michael respectively.
"Make sure your silencers are on, everyone. Phil tell the snipers to get into position, I don't want any surprises," he said as they stealthily made their way to the house.

-----------------------

As the guard brought in bottled water, he never saw the vase crushing down on his head knocking him out.
The baby was sound asleep so they had no problem walking out of the room. They quickly moved down the hallway only to stop when they saw one of Ryan's man at the end. A crushing sound came from down the stairs making him run down to inspect it. As they descended the stairs they came face to face with their captures in the living room.

"Tsk, tsk. You really thought you could escape from us? I have eyes everywhere and right now your husbands are on their way," Ryan said.
Just then the front door burst open as a couple of men flooded into the room.
To say Ryan was shocked was an understatement.
"Well I guess your eyes need glasses," Anita smirked.

"How, how did you get past my security? You were supposed to come here later," he said quickly grabbing Anita and using her as a shield.
The other two followed this action as they grabbed the other women using them as shields in case things turned nasty.
"Let the women go so we can talk like civilized man," Greg said in a dangerously low tone.
"Promise you will not kill us," Ted piped in knowing Greg meant business.

They were standing such that their backs were facing a large window overlooking the large estate.

In his hand Ryan held a gun to Anita's head whilst the other two had knives on the women's throats.
"Stay back or I will cut her," Ted said as he drew blood summoning some courage as he didn't want to go back to where he had been held the past couple of months.
Greg turned to Ricardo and Michael who each gave him a nod never taking their eyes off their wives.
"Legs," was all Greg said into his earpiece.
As Ryan, Ted and Anthony looked at each other in confusion.
A few seconds later all three of them cried out in pain as they slumped to the floor, blood dripping from the wounds.

They were quickly bundled up and tied whilst the men ran to each of their respective spouses.
"Take them to the basement I will be down in a few minutes," Greg said.

"Are you alright angel," Ricardo asked his crying wife as he held her close. "Go with the other girls Jonathan is waiting for all of you."

"We are not going anywhere, the last time you boys left us, look what happened," Joanna said as Michael put a plaster on her neck and looked over the bruising on her cheek.

"We have some problems to deal with," Anita said handing over the baby to Greg. "Don't even dare follow us," she said glaring at all three of the men.

"Come on girls, Phil, Jack, Jonathan you too," Anita said leading the way to the basement leaving the men flabbergasted.
