A few days later, Nicole believed Adele and Xerxes were still on the outs. She was mad because he killed the man who was supposedly her grandfather, but no one else saw the harm. Luca was glad he wasn't in the room because he would have ordered him to be killed it soon as he started to talk. On top it off, Riley and Xerxes have been fighting for the last three days because she was pregnant. Like it wasn't his fault too.

"How long you've been in here without calling me?" Reece said, stepping into the baby's room. He was still rubbing his eyes, telling Nicole he had just awoken.

"I don't know. Cassius woke up screaming from the top of his lungs. I didn't want him to wake the rest, but about the time I finished with him, Zayden awoke, then the other two. They are all eaten and been change but Zaniyah, which I'm about to do now." She said. Reece stood there for a second before pushing her out the way, changing his daughter as he kissed her little toes.

"I don't see why Xerxes and Riley are fighting. I wouldn't mind having more."

"See, I'm going to have to get my tubes tied. Aren't I?" Nicki laughed, making Reece shaking his head, picking up Za turning to her with a smile.

"I didn't say I wanted as many as they have. I do want you and me to have at least six. What you say two more later on?"

"Brother, you do realize she is Aunt Dele's grandchild. Shit, that means she is capable of producing more than one baby each pregnancy. Xerxes can call that shit what he likes, but that's a curse and the one reason I never fuck with one of the Köhler women." Damian said from the hallway holding his son.

"Dame shut the hell up and hurry and marry my girl."

"Cute Nicki. Tell you, girl, to start telling her friends more shit. Like how we eloped months back," Dame smiled as he quickly walked away. Reece looked down at the floor, pretending to be looking for something while Nicole slapped the back of his neck.

"You asshole, you knew they married!"

"I did, and Macey asked me to stay quiet. She wanted to tell you but was scared you would get mad. Anyway, they eloped at the same time Fiona, Sage, Kayla, and Clyde."

"Wait! That bitch! She told me that she and Clyde were engaged. Nothing about fucking marriage...."

"They both told the same story. I'm their Don, and I have my ways. You, my dear wife, don't pay attention to the shit you help me with. That's why you don't know shit. Hey, let's go see our prisoner today. Maybe it can help X with some of his stress issues."

"Niecy boo! I wanted to ask you a question," Jean said, standing at the island in Adele's kitchen as she played in Adalynn's hair.

"What is it, Aunt Jean?"

"I know I'm supposed to be leaving in three days," She paused. "I was wondering if I could stay," Jean said quickly. "You see, this old woman doesn't have much family now of days besides your uncle and my daughter. Sadly, all Ant's children include his wife, died before him, and my daughter, don't give a damn about me after she married that rich man. I just want to be with family in the time I have left, baby," She finished making Adele look back.

"Aunt Jean, you will be in more danger here... Your dying. A-aren't you?" Adele said as Jean slowly nodding. Dele's heart dropped. She felt bad. Real bad. She had just got her family back and that quick about to lose another.

"What is it?"

"Adele baby...."

"Aunt Jean," She said sternly. Adalynn noticed the seriousness of her voice, causing the little girl to get up and leave.
