chapter 7

It's been 2 days since the shooting and Dax still hasn't woken up yet.

I'm starting to get worried, so I go to my safe place.

An elementary school a couple of minutes from the mansion.

I dress in a black dress that went to my knees and flared out at the bottom but was tight at the top.

I put on my black heels and head to my car.

I drove my baby blue mustang there and sat down on a bench.

I've always loved this environment with happy kids and happy adults.

It reminds of when my mother used to pick me up from school with a bright smile and her arms spread out ready for me to hug her.

The elementary school just let out and children are piling out to their parents.

I see a little boy walking out last and starts scanning for his parents but his green eyes land on me.

I freeze in my place.

It can't be.

This can't be my Liam.

His mouth opens wide and he starts grinning.

His brown hair all messed up and he looks about 5 years old.

He starts running over towards me in full speed.

I see Joe calling for him and I frown.

Why the fuck is Joe here?

And why the fuck is he calling Liam's name?

Joe looks over to me and his face goes from shocked to fear.

"MOMMY!" I feel two little arms wrap around my leggings.

"Liam?" I ask him while bending down to him.

"Yes mommy, it's me Liam" he grins widely and throughs his little arms around me.

I hug him back tight.

This is my son.

"How old are you buddy?" I ask him while pulling away.

He stands up tall and holds up five fingers "I'm this many"

"You have gotten so big" I comment while he puffs out his little chest.

"I'm going to be just like you mommy, I want to be strong and to beat people up" he says quietly so nobody can hear.

"Well bambino, it's going to take a lot of practice, but you will be just like mommy" he smiles and looks over at Joe.

"Great Uncle Joe, guess what Mommy is here" he calls out and I see Joe slowly walk over to us.

"Oh my gosh, Silva what a coincidence" Joe says slowly.

"We will talk about this at the mansion" I growl at him.

He nods and we both look at Liam.

"Well mommy is you going to take me home?" Liam asks and I look at Joe and he shrugs.

"Yeah bambino, Joe will drive you to mommy's house while mommy drives her car to her house, we will all meet there" I smile at Liam and he smiles back.

Joe takes Liam to his car while I take my car to the mansion.

I had Liam when I had just turned 18 and nobody knows about him expect for my Papà but that was only because he saw me when I was pregnant.

I walk into the house "Dax is awake" Giovani says.

Fuck.

"mio figlio viene a casa" I say bluntly.

(My son is coming home)

"What?" Giovani asks confusion laced in his one question.

"Remember when I was gone after the mafia ball for a year" he nods his head "Well I had a child during that time, and he should be here at any moment"

"Who's the father?" Giovani asks angrily.

"Dax" I say and in came Liam running up to me.

He looks at Giovani then me.

"Hi, I'm Liam" Liam says while hiding behind my legs.

Giovani crutches down "Sil, he looks just like Dax but with your green eyes"

Giovani sticks out his hand "I'm Giovani, one of your many uncles"

Liam slowly comes out from behind me and shakes his hand.

Liam slowly goes back to hugging my legs after shaking Giovani's hand.

"He's cute" Giovani comments while standing up.

"I'm not cute, I'm a man, I'm handsome" Liam shouts while balling his fist.

Well damn, he's just like his mom.

I grin as Giovani puts his hands up in surrender.

Johnny boy walks in "Dax wants to see you, boss"

I nod and crutch down to Liam "Hey bambino, can you stay with Giovani for a couple minutes while Mommy goes and checks on" I pause for a second "Daddy"

"Daddy's here too!" Liam shouts.

"Shhh bambino, I will let you see daddy when he's all better, he's injured right now and needs to get better" Liam nods and stands with Giovani.

Liam stands tall trying to look intimidating but only makes him cuter.

"I didn't know you have a kid" Johnny boy comments.

"Tell anyone and I won't mind dislocating your shoulder over and over again" I warn, and his eyes widen in fear.

"Yes boss"

I walk up to Dax's room and slowly open the door.

His eyes open as soon as the door opens.

I walk in and close it behind me.

Now how do I tell him that he got me pregnant at the one-night stand and we have a 5 year old.

"Was your secret real?" Dax asks and I can tell he's pissed.

I nod.

"How was that you? I would have been able to tell if it was you! The girl’s hair was brown and her eyes were brown" he shouts.

"I dyed my hair and brown contacts" I comment.

"Why didn't you tell me it was you?" I hear his voice break.

I walk over to him and put my hand on his check "It wasn't my time to come out yet" he puts his hand on top of mine and leans into it.

He kisses my palm and pulls me into a hug.

"You little shit just pranked the fuck out of me that night" I chuckle.

"Well it's called pay back but all of my feelings that night were mutual" I climb onto his bed and cuddle with him.

I look up at him as he leans down and puts his soft pink lips onto mine.

I felt sparks fly as we kiss, and it was passionate yet hungry.

I pull away from our kiss as he looks at me and smirks.

"I have one more thing to tell you" I take a breath in as he nods.

"I got pre-" I was cut off as Giovani and Liam came running in with Liam full speed aiming for me and Giovani full speed aiming for Liam.

Dax looks at Liam confused then at me then at Giovani as they all freeze as soon as they ran in.

"It was Uncle Giovani's fault, mommy he told me I couldn't have a cookie" Liam says.

"That's wrong, you wanted to find Silva, so you ran all around the house looking for her and guess what we interrupted in important discussion" Giovani tells me.

I take a deep breath in "Dax this is your son Liam"

Dax sits straight up.

"What?" He shouts.

I get off the bed and pick up Liam, who wasn't as heavy as I thought he would be.

"Liam is our son" I say softly as I put Liam down on Dax's bed.

"Hi Daddy, I'm Liam" he puts his hand out for Dax to shake.

Dax slowly shakes his hand "How old are you?"

"Five years old" Liam grins.

"Liam can you leave with Uncle Giovani so daddy and mommy can have a discussion" Dax says while glaring wholes into my head.

Liam nods and hops of the bed and walks up to Giovani and takes his hand as they both walk out.

"I have a son" Dax whispers while putting his hand in his hair.

"How?" Dax asks while looking at me.

"Well, the night we had sex, I forgot to take my pill that night and you didn't wear a condom and I got pregnant and gave him up for adoption because I was young and wasn't sure if you would have wanted to keep him, little did I know that my Uncle Joe adopted him" I take a breath in and let it out.

"Holy shit" Dax whispers.

I take a seat in the chair by his bed and pull my legs up.

"I'm scared" I say out loud to only myself.

"Why?" Dax asks while looking at me.

"What if I'm not a good mom? Or Liam doesn't want this life? I don't want to force him into this" I say quietly.

"We will let him decide Sil" I nod and get up.

"I need to go talk to Joe" I say angrily.

"Why?" Dax asks while tilting his head to the side.

"Because that fucker had my kid and didn't even tell me" Dax stands up and starts pulling wires out.

"I'm coming too" I look at Dax's outfit that was just a hospital gown.

"Might want to change first" I comment as he looks down and curses before walking over to his clothes and starts to get naked in front of me.

Well I wasn't expecting this but I turn around, so I don't look at his very defined back muscles.

"Ready?" I ask while waiting a couple minutes for Dax to change.

I feel a finger go up my arm slowly and lightly all the way up to my neck.

I shiver in delight as I know who the finger belongs too.

I feel Dax's body behind mine as he places a kiss on my neck almost making me moan.

"I'm always ready bébé" he says in his French accent which almost makes me want to fuck him right here.

(Baby)

I walk out with Dax right behind me.

Come out come out, wherever you are Joe cause I'm coming for you.
