Today was the day. The day I've been waiting for and most anxious to happen. It was yakevettas court date. The day that sick bastard will pay for his crimes and the day we will get some closure. Connor and murphy had gone to church this morning as I got ready for the hit. I stood infront of the mirror and looked at my reflection. I decided on black skinny jeans with a black tank top. I sighed and looked down at my left hand where Murphy's ring was. He is what kept me going through all this. I know for a fact if I hadn't had him, i wouldn't be who I am today. I looked back at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes traveled down to my stomach. It hurt knowing there wasn't a child growing in there anymore. My child. Murphy's child. I quickly blinked back my tears when I heard a knock at the door. I quickly grabbed my coat off the bed and started towards the door thinking it was the boys,
"I'm coming!"
As I approached the door, in walked Noah. I stopped quickly and just starred at him. We never have really had a real conversation. All I know is that he was the boys father.
"hey der lass ya mind if I come in a minute?" He asked.
"Sure" I said breathless.
he nodded and sat down on the bed. He looked up at me and patted the spot next to him. This surprised me at first. I sat my coat down on a chair and sat next to him.
"don't tink we've officially met. Names Noah macmanus" he said.
"Olivia" I whispered.
"trust me I know you dear. Both me boys seem very fond of ya." He said.
i blushed and smiled,"ya they're the greatest."
"I didn't mean ta make ya nervous lass. Just thought dat since ya gonna be joining da family I might as well get ta know ya." He said.
i chuckled nervously,"mr.macmanus" I started to say but he cut me off,
"Noah dear. Please call me Noah"
i smiled and nodded,"I just wanted to thank you for all you did. Helping me deliver and fixing my cuts"
"tis nothin. Was an unfortunate first meetin though" he said.
i sighed and felt the pain in my heart as I think about my baby. He must've noticed cause he immediately said,
"I should be da one tankin you dear"
i arched an eyebrow and looked at him confused,"for what?"
"takin care of my boys. Dey can be a handful. I've never seen Connor so protective over someone other dan his ma or his brother and murphy well he's a changed man. Ya ave done a lot for em so tank ya" he said.
i smiled,"sir I truly love murphy"
"I know and he loves ya just da same. I see it in both yer eyes." He nodded.
i smiled and he sighed,"when we go on dis hit today, I don't want ya tinkin it's for revenge. Tis our mission from god. But he did make it personal. Hell makin a man deliver his grandchild still born is somethin even satan Im self wouldn't do."
i sighed and felt a tear slip down my cheek. Shit I couldn't do this infront of their dad! This is so embarrassing! I went to wipe it away when he gently grabbed my hand. I hesitantly looked up at him and he said,
"ya been strong fer too long dear. Tears don't make ya weak, dey make ya stronger and ya deserve ta cry."
I nodded and more tears began to fall. He then did something that surprised the hell out of me. He pulled me in for a hug. I hesitated but wrapped my arms around him as I cried into his chest. He whispered,
"dats it let it out"
Murphy's pov
connor and I made our prayers short today. We quickly went home to get ready for the day. I knew this was our job for god, but I was gonna enjoy dis a little more. Dat fuckers gonna pay. Connor could tell how anxious I was. He placed a hand on my shoulder before we walked into the apartment,
"we'll get em"
i nodded and we opened the door. We walked into the living room, but der was no sign of da or liv. I arched an eyebrow at Connor who looked back at me equally as confused. We were silent for a few more moments until we heard whimpering from another room. My heart sped up as Connor and I bolted towards the sound. We immediately opened the door and froze. Da was hugging liv as she cried into his chest. Connor and I both looked at each other shocked and then back to da. What was she crying?! I started to worry when da noticed us,
"hey der boys"
olivia immediately pulled out of das grip and wiped her eyes as she noticed us.
"umm ya ready ta go?" Connor asked.
da nodded and got up. He walked past us as Connor followed him. I waited for liv. She grabbed her jacket and right as she about passed me I gripped her arm. She turned to me and I looked at her worried,
"ya alright?"
she sniffed and nodded,"ya I'm gonna be"
i nodded and kissed her softly. She smiled as we pulled away and grabbed my hand, "lest to get this fucker"
that caused me to smile,"ders my girl"
i squeezed her hand as we quickly caught up with da and my brother.
