"Jesus Christ" i mutter to myself as I watch grey walk slowly into our kitchen. He's got a bad looking black eye, a busted lip and he's holding his stomach. He's wearing a grey hoodie and sweats so he must've been to the medical guy, otherwise he'd be in a suit.

I drop my fork and rush up to him, carefully cupping his face in my hands. He sighs and rests his cheek against my palm.

"Fuck it's good to see you baby" he whispers and my brow creases at the strain in his voice. My eyes run over his face and I cringe at the damage.

"What happened?" I ask him as he sits on one of the barstools and pulls me in between his legs , laying his head on my swollen stomach and wrapping his hands around my thighs.

"Some idiot forgot to lock the door on one of the cells and that guy from the drug deal got out. He caught me while I was asleep in my office, I didn't register what was happening very quickly. The fucker stabbed me and got a couple punches in before I woke up properly and shot him.I don't know how he got passed the guards or security " He furrows his brows and I smile softly at him. Typical for him to feel disappointed that he didn't react quick enough when he's literally been stabbed. He puts too much pressure on himself.

"They patched you up?"

"Yeah I'm good as new, just sore" At that moment our baby girl kicks right where he's moved his hand on my stomach. He lets out a throaty chuckle and taps the spot with his finger.

"Hey sweetheart" my heart melts and I run my hand through his hair.

"Daddy's had a fucking shitty day" and he's ruined the moment.

"Greyson no swearing at her!"

"I didn't fucking swear at her, I swore too her"

"Oh shit I did it again and again, sorry baby-" he stops talking when he looks up and sees my face, i roll my eyes at him but can't help but smile. He grins boyishly at me and stands to his full height.

He's unnaturally tall. It's not that I'm short.

"Your so fucking pretty" he mutters and brushes a hair from out my eye. His rough hands couldn't feel more gentle.

I swat his hand away and he laughs, I clean up from where I've cooked and decide I'm not hungry, I hand my plate of half finished pasta to grey and he slaps a kiss on my cheek and eats like a starved man.

"Eli didn't eat again today" i sigh, referring to our 2 year old who's not eaten for 3 days . His twin brother vinny is the greediest little shit ever so I don't know why their so different like that. Ace never has a problem with eating either.

Anyway, i dont know wheather I'm being a crazy bitch, but my mum instinct is telling me something is wrong with my son.

Just at that moment Eli walks though into the kitchen from the living room where he's been asleep on the couch. He hobbled unsteadily over to me and pulls at the end of my linen trousers. I wipe my hands on the dry cloth and bend down with much effort, my pregnant belly getting in the way.

"Indigo" grey warns but I ignore him. Trying to boss me around. Idiota

I stroke Eli's cheek with my thumb and little tears dribble from his piercing green eyes.

"What's wrong piccolo uomo" (little man) I hate when they cry. Ace never does really and Vinny is just a little ball of unrelenting energy. Eli is quiet and sensitive, I don't have a favorite but I do have a soft spot for my youngest boy who isn't like his brothers.

He doesn't say anything, just rests his little head into my hand and his bottom lip quivers. This is Hurting my heart enough , along with the fucking pregnancy hormones. I might cry in a minute. Christ.

"Non posso aiutarti se non mi dici cosa c'è che non va piccola" (i cant help if you dont tell me whats wrong baby) i made sure the kids all know how to speak English and Italian. It pays off around family.

"Papa?" He full on sobs and I look at grey who's already getting off his stool and striding over. A worried look on his face. Eli cries but he's never normally this tearful.

Grey holds his hand out for me so I can get up and I stand properly as Eli watches grey and continues to cry badly.

He reaches for grey and tugs on his sweats, grey leans down and picks him up with ease. He rests his forehead on Eli's and shushes him gently.

"Tell me little one" grey asks but Eli is too busy studying greys black eye. Of course this makes him cry even more.

Have kids they said. It'll be fun they said.

"Daddy feel ow?" Eli hiccups and greys rubs his nose against our sons.

"No, daddy doesn't feel ow little prince" grey reassures him and Eli settles a bit. He plays with the drawstrings of greys hoodie and sniffles.

Grey walks back over to the stool he was sat on too eat and settles Eli on his lap. He wraps some linguine around his fork and nudges Eli with his leg.

Eli shakes his head and turns his face away but grey just waits patiently for Eli to look again.

"For daddy?" Grey asks and Eli nods and takes the mouthful of food from greys fork. His little face immediately scrunches up and he cries again. I can't help myself any longer. I walk over to them and lift Eli off greys lap. He grabs some of my hair and pushes his face into my neck.

"Someone wants mummy" grey nods towards Eli as I sway with him in my arms.

GREYS POV

You wouldn't believe it now if someone told you indigo didn't want to be a mum at first. By the way she rocks Eli in her arms and shelters him like it's her only job to protect him.

I kiss her forehead and smooth down Eli's hair before walking through to where I can hear shouting.

"No I want , and I is older so I get its" Ace taunts his younger brother and hits him on the head with the remote. Vinny glares and whacks Ace back. Fucking boys I swear to god.

I grab the remote from Aces hand and smirk down at them.

"Actually I'm the oldest so i get it" I say and they both send me icy glares.

"You so old daddy" Ace says and I huff at the little fucker.

"I'm 26, you little shit" Ace kicks my shin and I give him my best dad look. Indie says I'm awful at telling the kids off because I can't do it but I can. My punishments are serious. Like the one I'm about to give Ace

"Air jail" I declare and grab him by the back of his sweater, he's 3 and probably to big for this but who cares.

He giggles and Vinny watches.

"Shit" oh fuck

"Shit shit shit.. shit shit"

"No vin, shush" I try to get him to stop but I'm not quick enough.

"Vinny" indigos voice rings out and Vinny immediately stops and looks at me. Don't look at me.

"It wasn't me" I say and turn around with Ace in one had and the remote in the other.

"Hmmm" indigo hums and I look at her.

"Hmm? What does hmmmm mean?" I still don't understand half the shit she says now.

"Put Ace down grey" i lower Ace to the floor and he rushes over to indigo who's still holding Eli.

Snitch

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A flick on my face wakes me up and I roll over to look at the Time : 3: 04 am

Indigo is sat up and I immediately think she's in labour.

I jump out of bed but she just looks at me quizzically.

"I'm not in labour you silly ass, but somethings wrong" my heart drops and I look at her stomach.

"No no not with the baby"

"You could have communicated that earlier" i sigh exasperated but she just rolls her eyes. I switch on the lamp and run a hand down my face.

"What do you mean somethings wrong darling?" I ask she lets out a breath of air and looks at me. Worry swirling in her eyes.

"I don't know"

"Your so creepy" I say and she whacks a pillow at my face.

At that exact moment a ear piercing wail cuts through the house and I know it's one of my children. Common sense leaves me as I run out our bedroom and down the steps to the next floor where the twins room is.

I barge in and feel relieved when their both their but not for long. Eli lays in his cot scrunched up and sobbing heavily. He lets out another wail and It physically hurts me.

"I'm here baby" I soothe as I go over to his cot and pick him up. When he stretches out he screams and I swear for the first time in my life I feel utterly helpless.

Indigo comes up behind me and rubs my back.

"I'm calling the hospital, he's not right" she says to me and goes to get the phone. I rock him in my arms as he squirms and screams into my chest.

"Daddy, daddy ow" he sobs out and grips my chain.

"Jesus buddy I'm so fucking sorry, I'd take it away if I could, I'd take it all away" I utter mostly to myself.

"Come on" indigo says as she walks through the door .

"We're going to the hospital, the guards have agree to watch Ace and Vinny until Bea gets here" I look over to Vinny who's still somehow dead asleep and nod.

Grey holds me to his chest as I cry. He's gone my babies gone.

"It's alright baby , he's only in surgery, the doctor said he'll be fine" i hiccup and recall what the doctor said.

Eli's appendix ruptured from appendicitis and that explains the no appetite. He's in surgery but should be out soon. I've been crying for most of it. Stupid pregnancy hormones.

"Mrs king?" A voice rings out and I look up. Our private doctor smiles and puts his thumbs up.

"The surgery went fine, we removed the appendix and he's on the road to recovery, well done for bringing him in so quickly" he walks away and I feel greys tense muscles looses a tad.

"I shouldn't have left it so long" I whisper to grey and he just shakes his head.

"You knew something was wrong baby, don't blame yourself" he runs his hand up my stomach and I suddenly feel very tired. I lean on grey as we wait to be told we can see Eli.

When we enter his private room and he reaches out to us and grins a little sleepy grin.

"Mamá, papá"

At the same moment Ace and Vinny walk in with Bea and mav and a very grumpy looking chase In tow.

"We thought we'd come see you" Bea says and Ace and Vinny both go up to Eli and try and scramble on to the bed. Grey gives them both a little boost and they cuddle up next to Eli.

"Baby?" Chase asks and I smile at the little grump and nod as he points at my stomach

"I don't like her" he grumbles and I laugh at him. I'm sure he'll love her one day.
