~Jordan's POV ~

"Angelo scopri cos'è successo. Se era Dante, voglio sapere esattamente come l'ha fatto, chi con e quando l'ha pianificato. Voglio sapere tutto. Sto portando giù quel figlio di puttana."
(Angelo find out what happened. If it was Dante I want to know exactly how he did it, who with and when he planned it. I want to know everything. I'm taking that son of a bitch down.)

Angelo nodded and took his phone out of his pocket to relay the message to everyone in Milan so that they could get to work.

"Mama?" My attention was taken away from Adrian's conversation when Leo tugged on my hand, I let go of Adrian's hand and bent down to talk to him. "Who are they?" I glanced over at my 'family' who were busy talking among themselves before looking back at my son. "They're family."

"No." I rose an eyebrow at Leo who frowned and looked at them again before looking over at Adrian who talking in Italian to Matteo and Angelo. "They family, they strangers." First he pointed at Adrian and then he pointed at my family, I shook my head and took his hand.

"No baby, those are papa's family. This is my family. My mama and brother and sister." I think Leo finally understood when I broke it down for him but he was still on his guard around them. That's how we taught him to be, it's sad but it had to be done. Whenever he meets someone new he can't talk to them or be friendly with them until we've said it's okay. It's too dangerous for him to talk to just any stranger that he meets - not that he ever really gets a chance to do that with all the security we have on him.

"Come on Jordan." Adrian took my hand to help me stand up straight. "Matteo will look after Leo." I nodded and sent Matteo a small smile before going into my father's room with Adrian behind me. I slowly made my way towards my father's side, my eyes roaming over his frail state. He must have been in some sort of coma because he didn't respond when I touched his hand, there was no movement apart from his chest rising and falling.

"Dad..." I held his hand in mine while staring at the man who raised me. The man who me taught me how to ride a bike and then how to drive a car, how to love and care for the people around you, the man who taught me to always be a good person and never let harm come to others. Yet here I am, three years after I walked away from him when he could die at any second. I was probably the reason for him getting hurt. I could be the reason my father could die, and there's nothing I can do about it. I couldn't even apologise to him.

I held onto his hand tightly when the dam finally burst open and tears came flooding from my eyes once again. I felt Adrian support me when I began sobbing next to my father, his arms went around my waist to hold me up. I let out all the pain I had been feeling, all the sadness and guilt that had consumed me for these last years every time I thought about my dad who I just walked out on. If he died because of me I would never be able to forgive myself. If I hadn't spoken back to Dante that night none of this would have happened.

Matteo wouldn't have gotten shot, I wouldn't have tried to kill myself and pushed Adrian right to the edge by doing so, Dante wouldn't have watched me take a bath and then threatened Adrian to hurt me, we wouldn't have had to move to Florence, Kaito wouldn't have threatened Leo. My father would never have been in this much pain, about to lose his life. If only I had kept my mouth shut for two minutes I could have saved everyone so much pain.

I cried and cried while standing at my father's beside until finally the tears slowed and then stopped. I shakily wiped my eyes and placed a kiss on his cheek before leaving the room with Adrian right next to me the whole time. We stepped outside the room and Adrian wrapped me into another hug, his scent and warmth was enough to help me calm down.

"What a show." I stilled in Adrian's arms at the sound of my mother's voice before turning to face her. "Well done Jordan."

"What are you talking about?"

"Your little performance in there. You think you can just come and shed a few tears with your precious family and that makes everything okay? Your father hates you Jordan, and so do we. You're not part of our family. You shouldn't even be here."

"Mom-" She shook her head with the coldest glare etched up on her face. Her eyes moved away from me to Adrian who I'm pretty sure was glaring right back at her since she quickly moved onto Leo who was watching her with curiosity in Matteo's arms.

"You're nothing to us. You and your son." She spat the word 'son' with so much disgust and hate it sent a cold shiver down my spine.

"That's my freaking wife you're talking to, YOUR daughter!" Adrian's thick Italian accent stood out among our English ones when he shouted at my mom. For once her cold facade almost cracked but she didn't show the fear that she undoubtedly felt when Adrian shouted at her.

"Show some damn respect, who talks about their grandchild that way?" His voice held pure disgust while he shouted back at my mom, he was clearly taking all the anger and frustration he felt out on her. Usually he would be able to control himself in a situation like this.

"He's not my grandchild, neither is that one." She was quick to respond to Adrian while she pointed at my baby bump.

"Mom!" Her eyes suddenly shifted to me and her glare was back on her face. "And you're not my daughter."

Instead of responding to her I just nodded and turned around to face Adrian who was absolutely furious. "Let's go Adrian, I came for my dad, that's all that matters to me."

Adrian didn't respond to me, instead he just carried on staring at my mom with those same blazing eyes which I'd seen so many times over the course of our relationship. "Adrian andiamo, sono stanco." (Adrian, come on. I'm tired.)

"We're staying here until her dad gets better. Then he can tell Jordan how he feels about her himself, you have no damn right to speak for her dad. Get used to it Mrs Emerson, we'll be here everyday if we need to be."

<<<<<<< >>>>>>> <<<<<<<

When we finally made it to the hotel Adrian checked us in before we went upstairs to our rooms. Adrian and I had a suite while Matteo and Angelo were sharing another next door. Although I don't think that was going to last long because Carlotta said she'll come when she's finished with work in Paris and I doubt Matteo will want to share a room with his bestfriend and his sister.

We were finally settling down to go to sleep around 3:30am when I finally got the courage to say what had been on my mind all day. "Adrian?"

"Hm?" He was sitting on the edge of his side of the bed typing away on his phone when I came up behind him and wrapped my arms around his bare chest. I rested my face on his shoulder and kissed his cheek. "I'm sorry for what I said to you. You know how much I love you, all of that was left in the past, I shouldn't have brought it all back up-"

Adrian cut me off by placing his hands on my waist, turning around and pushing me down onto the bed. He hovered over me and rested on his forearms effectively trapping me between his arms. "Ti ho già perdonato piccola, non devi scusarti." (I already forgave you baby, you don't have to apologise.)

Adrian leaned down and trailed kisses along my jaw but I stopped him before he could carry on. "No Adrian stop." He let out a sigh and looked at me properly again waiting for me to say whatever I wanted. "I need you to know how sorry I am. After everything you've done for me and especially what you did today you didn't deserve that. Thank you for what you've done and everything you said at the hospital. I couldn't have done any of it without you."

"Ti amo Jordan e ti perdono, per favore smettila di preoccupartene" (I love you Jordan, and I forgive you. Please stop worrying about it.)

~ Adrian's POV ~

All I could hear was this incessant banging on the front door of our suite bringing me out of my sleep. After letting go of Jordan who was curled up in my arms I managed to drag myself off the bed and put on some boxers before leaving the room where Jordan was still fast asleep unfazed by the banging. Leo was sleeping in another bedroom in our suite so I wouldn't know if he'd been woken up until I heard his cries.

I unlocked the door opening it to reveal Matteo and Angelo. "If I wasn't so tired I would punch you both." I walked over to the couch and sat down, I threw my head back and closed my eyes while they closed the door and came to sit down.

"You weren't answering your phone, we thought something was wrong."

"Nothing was wrong Matteo, I was asleep. That's what people do this early in the freaking morning. What time is it?" I opened my eyes just in time to see Matteo rolling his eyes next to me, he chose to ignore my question. "Just start answering your phone."

"stai zitto e basta." (Just shut the hell up.) Matteo glared at me and I knew he was about to say something stupid so I spoke before he could. "Why are you guys here? It's too early, couldn't this have waited?"

"No. No it couldn't." I rose an eyebrow at Matteo who was glaring at me like a damn child. He should know after growing up with me that I'm not a morning person, you would think he'd learn to keep his mouth shut but after 26 years on this earth he's still as freaking clueless as the first freaking day when he got here.

"That's enough. Adrian we found Dante." As soon as Angelo mentioned that name I sat up, any traces of sleep or tiredness were gone. "Why the hell didn't you start with that? Where is he?"

"He's in London, he obviously planned for Jordan to come here, he's at some Portuguese cartel base. It's flooded with armed security and lots of cameras, there's no way you'll get inside."

"Bomb it then." Matteo didn't seem to like my brilliant idea and so decided it was time to open his big mouth again. "I told you we shouldn't have freaking told him Angelo."

"What do you mean? Of course you had to tell me; I'm the leader." I glared at Matteo before looking at Angelo who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else but here. "Whatever Adrian."

"Anyway, all bad ideas aside -" Angelo gave me a pointed look before carrying on "-I have a plan. Kaito."

"What about that son of a bitch?"

"Would it kill you to be nice for once?" This time I fully turned towards Matteo, this guy had to be on something because all he wanted to do was argue with me. "Do you want me to shoot you Matteo? Because I will."

"What the hell is wrong with the two of you?! Per l'amor di Dio! Non abbiamo tempo per questa." (For God's sake, just shut up! We don't have time for this.)

I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the couch gesturing for Angelo to continue with his plan.
"Thank you. Anyway, Kaito is the only one who is sort of on good terms with Dante. He can call Dante up and tell him he wants to talk; go inside and shoot the old bastard."

"And get shot in the process?" Angelo shook his head in response to Matteo's question. "Kaito has men, he can take some with him as a precaution and he can wear a bullet proof vest."

I shook my head and stood up pacing around the open plan living room. "It's not going to work, it's too simple. Dante will know something's up."

"Kaito can be believable if he wants to be, it's just up to you- whether you trust him for the job. Adrian it's the best way, we'll get the job done and over with."

"And, we don't have to trouble Jordan with anything, she'll stay safe." Finally my baby brother speaks some sense. That was probably the only part of this plan that I was happy with - none of us apart from Kaito would be at the scene.

"I don't think I trust him." I wanted to trust him, only to make this plan happen but there was still that little issue about the way he worked with Dante previously.

"Because of his plot with Dante? To kidnap Leo?" Matteo rose an eyebrow at me waiting for me to respond while I just stared back at him wide eyed. "How the hell did you find out?!"

"He told us, and Carlotta. He said you and Jordan already knew and he wanted everyone to know, something about starting fresh." Angelo let out a sigh and leaned back into the couch when I stormed over to Matteo. I did feel a little bad for Angelo, he really was trying but Matteo and I just never get on in the morning. Bringing us together at such early hours of the morning after the long night we had was just a recipe for disaster.

"And you're okay with it?! You don't care he wanted to kidnap your freaking nephew?!"

"Woah, Adrian. If you actually listened instead of blowing up every five minutes you would know he wasn't part of the plan, he left Dante and Antonia when he found out about it."

"Yeah like I freaking believe that." Before either one of us could say another word a loud cry sounded from Leo's room causing me to groan out loud. Yes I do love him, but I'm just too tired. Four hours of sleep does that to a man, no matter how amazing I might be.

"Well done." I glared at Matteo before going into the room to comfort my son. He was laying in his king sized bed which Jordan had carefully made with a billion pillows surrounding him making sure he didn't fall. I told her she didn't need the pillows but she wouldn't listen, and I knew better than to argue with her.

"You alright little man?" I picked him up and held him in my arms causing his crying to slow down. "Papa." I kissed his forehead before taking him into the living room where Angelo and Matteo were still sitting. I sat down on the couch with Leo in my arms, stroking his hair to keep him calm. I smiled down at Leo who was rubbing his tired eyes. It's crazy to think a few years ago all I wanted was to be the best in the game, I wanted the Italian mafia to be the richest and most powerful organised crime establishment in the world. I would have gone to any extreme to get what I wanted, but now all I want is to make sure my son and my wife are okay. My family is the only thing important to me. I knew I had to go along with the plan, even if it involved Kaito, it was our best chance of getting rid of Dante once and for all. I had to do it for my family.

"Call Kaito, tell him to come to London." I didn't wait to see what their reactions were, instead I stood up and carried my two year old son into Jordan and I's room. She was still fast asleep when I walked in, how the hell she managed to sleep through the banging on the door, Matteo and I arguing and Leo's crying is beyond me. That girl could sleep through world war three.

"Jordan." I shook her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up but all she did was turn over to face the other way. "Do you want to try?" Leo nodded and stretched his arms out, his way of telling me to put him down. I put him on the bed and he crawled over to Jordan before tapping her arm.

"Mama!" Even I flinched at the volume he used to wake her up, it probably wasn't the best idea for him to do it - but it worked. Jordan quickly sat up with a panicked look on her face, but she made sure to cover herself with the bedsheets after last nights activities. Her hair was all over the place and she looked exhausted - I would have felt bad for her if she wasn't glaring at me with that 'I'm going to kill you look'.

She turned her attention to smiley two year old, softening her glare in the process, but only just a little bit. I'm pretty sure Leo is used to it by now though, he's been waking her up during the night and early in the morning for the last two years.

"Yes baby? Is everything okay?" Leo nodded innocently and spoke while crawling back over to me, like he knew she was about to lose her mind. If you thought I wasn't a morning person, wait till you see what my wife is like. "Papa want to talk to you."

Jordan turned towards me raising one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows. And her glare was back, stronger than ever. "You told him to wake me up?"

I shook my head letting out a nervous laugh as I picked up Leo and took a few steps away from the bed. "Of course not."

"Get out Adrian." I nodded and turned on my feet making a hasty exit out the door into the living room. "Is Jordan awake?" I let out a sigh and dropped down on the couch while nodding in response to Matteo's question. As soon as I nodded they both stood to their feet heading towards the door.
"Well we've got work to do, you know where we are if you need us."

With that the two of them left the suite just as Jordan came out the bedroom; this time dressed in shorts and a white tshirt.

She looked so damn good.

If only Leo wasn't in my lap at that moment I could have probably turned this morning around and made use of the extra few hours we had from waking up so damn early. Thankfully Jordan didn't notice where my eyes were, or I wouldn't be able to have kids again. That's no exaggeration.

"What the hell is wrong with you Adrian? Did someone hit you over the head when you were born or something? Why in the world are you waking me up this early? It's 6:30am!" My eyes widened when she said the time and my head snapped to the door which those two bitches just ran out of. No wonder they left in such a hurry.

"I didn't know it was that early! Matteo and Angelo woke me up then Leo woke up."

"So just because everyone else was awake you thought you'd ruin my morning too, yes? Adrian I'm sleeping for two now, you can't do that! Have some consideration for once."

I rose an eyebrow at her with an amused smile on my face, she however just stood where she was glaring at me with her hand on her hip. "Baby I don't think it works like that. You can eat for two but I don't think you can sleep for two."

"I swear I will murder you in your sleep tonight Adrian if you speak to me again today." I frowned as I watched her go back into the bedroom slamming the door shut behind her. I let out yet another sigh and looked down at Leo who was busy admiring the gold chain around my neck. "This is all your fault, you just had to wake that monster up didn't you."

He just sent me a cheeky grin before going back to staring at my necklace. I stood up from the couch and carried Leo into our room, Jordan was back in bed but this time wide awake. I lay down next to her and placed Leo between us. Mainly because I knew she wouldn't hurt him, but she'd hurt me if I got too close to her. Just the thought of the last time she kneed me in the balls because my alarm went off caused me to wince.

I heard Jordan talking quietly to Leo for a few minutes before Leo scrambled off the bed with Jordan's help and ran out the room. "Adrian help him brush his teeth then take him to Matteo, he was meant to look after him today."

I turned my head to face her ready to give her a snappy response but the tired look on her face stopped me before I could get any words out.

I know it looks like I'm a pussy around her but honestly I just don't want to make her mood worse. Since day one Jordan has been the most annoying person to wake up to in the morning, unless she's happy for some reason. Now that she's pregnant is so much worse, it's like she's going to have the mood swings of a period for nine freaking months.

I know better than to rile her up when she's in these types of moods, all it will do is cause arguments and issues between us. I also love her too much to do that to her. If you love someone you don't want them to get to the point where they're as angry as Jordan can get, which is usually followed by a lot of tears; it's not easy to watch someone you love be in a state like that. I'd just prefer to do whatever she says, it's us both and for Leo. As a man you also have to remember to respect your wife, no matter how much Jordan pisses me off with the things she says I always remember she's pregnant with my baby and she's Leo's mother.

Once I'd managed to get Leo to stand still and let me brush his teeth then taken him to Matteo's suite which was a long job since neither of them opened the door for the first 5 minutes, I finally managed to lay back down next to Jordan who'd fallen asleep again.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me, placing my forehead against her shoulder. I placed a kiss behind her ear while rubbing my hand over her baby bump causing a small relaxed smile to appear on her face. After seeing that smile, nothing could have possibly ruined my day.
