Predator and the prey

Hope for the future

Elliana's POV

Ronnie had left to go get the test and I made myself some food and ate out on the patio while Juno laid and overlooked the city with me. He brings me peace that little fluff ball, well not so little he is 125Lbs of pure fatness but he's the only thing I got left of Dani...

As I'm cleaning up the small mess I made while cooking my food Ronnie comes back in the door with a certain somebody I didn't think I'd see again, along with Jacky and Chris

" what the fuck is he doing here?"I say folding my arms looking at THE fucking Alex terrible.

" I ain't here to kill ya if that's what you want to know sweetheart." He says his accent is thick, I'm thinking Russian.

" Ronnie care to fucking explain." I say to him as he hands me the black bag of the inevitable question that will be answered

" look, he works alone. Doesn't work for Andy. Caught him snooping around and thought well if he is working alone why not pay him for some extra security. Despite the stupid decisions he made." Ronnie says leaning on the counter

I look over at Alex and he gives he half witted smile and my stomach drops.

" so what's with you? You come into our home yesterday now all of a sudden you're working for my man? Doesn't sound right to me." I say to him

" look little miss. I know a lot about Andy. Never actually met the guy but I've heard things and what I have heard is if you are bearing an even smaller mousy Andy won't touch ya. He's a bad guy but the man's got morals." He says calmly to me taking a seat and I let my guard falter just a little

" so what are you going to do?" I ask him again as Ronnie now comes and stands next to me slinking his arm around my waist

" he, my kitten, will be extra security here. Just in case. Can never be to cautious of biersack even if he does have so called morals." Ronnie says and I sigh a little

" and plus he was only doing what he did yesterday because he's in a tough spot and wanted the money. His sons got cancer babygirl. Yes he showed me proof so I know he ain't lying." Ronnie says looking down at me as our eyes meet and my heart twinges a little

I look back at Alex shaking my head.

" I'm sorry.. really I am miss Elliana... I shouldn't have done what I did... but I promise my heart is in the right place." Alex says to me and I read his body language as well as his eyes and can tell it's genuine

" whatever. I accept your apology. But we're not friends." I say walking away to the bed room

I enter the bathroom and pull the pregnancy test from the bag. I shake my head sighing and look myself in the mirror

" everything is gonna be okay, besides Alex because well I don't really know the guy you're in good hands Elliana. You can do this." I say taking a deep breath as I rip open the box

I do what I need to do then set it on the counter waiting for the result. It seems as if time is going in slow motion as I wait and pace around the bathroom, if my brother was still alive he would've flipped his shit... after 3-5 minutes of waiting I flip the test over and my eyes go wide and tears begin falling just as quickly as my heart begins to race.

Positive. It stares back at me on the stick and I begin to shake slightly. Me? Little ol me? A mother? God this is crazy. I muster up the courage and grab the stick walking back into the kitchen, Jacky is standing by the island with Ronnie going over gps locations and Alex and Chris are sitting on the couch pondering over what would be best to feed Juno for making his fur shiny, fucking weirdos.

" uhm Ronnie... baby..." I say softly and Ronnie looks up with a smile coming over to me I keep my head down and flip the test over in my hands

" oh my god! Oh my fucking god!" He yells lifting me up instantly spinning me around then setting me down kissing me

" I'm going to be a dad!!" Ronnie yells throughout the penthouse and the boys all cheer even Juno lets out a few barks of his own following everyone coming over to us

" you're going to be a wonderful mother elli, Chris says to me with a smile and giving me a hug then Ronnie one

" thanks Chris..." I say with a small smile

" you got this girl, you have over come a lot and now your journey with our amazing friend can begin even more so now." Jacky says also giving me a tight hug

" I'm happy for you guys, and hopefully we can put everything in the past and move on for the better... " Alex says he doesn't give me a hug but I honestly think that's for the better as I still don't trust him even though yes when Ronnie trusts someone it's not lightly. Again despite what happened Alex doesn't seem to bad but you never know.

" this calls for a celebration! Whooo! Dinners is on me boys, and my sweet kitten." Ronnie says cheering

I go into the room and slip on a black dress, that's fairly tight and has a corseted waist. There's a leg slit in it and the chest is low cut. I pair it with my black very high heels may I add and fix my hair and apply some make up. Ronnie exits the closet in a black velvet designed button up and his signature black pants and this time instead of his usual boots he's got on very nice black dress shoes. He's added a gold chain and watch to pull the look together and we both exit the room and meet everyone in the lobby to go to dinner.

The world isn't ended but only just beginning.
