"Papa" I groan watching him distance himself from me "bring yo ass over here, I haven't seen you in four months and now you're acting like this?"

"Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out how to explain everything" he sighs climbing into bed, cuddling me the best he could without bumping into my baby bump. "Squirt isn't even out the womb and he's getting in between us-cock blocker"

"Didn't I tell you not to call my kids that" I glare slapping his forehead, in response he slapped my thigh winking as I hiss in pain. "I'm telling Vivian on you"

"And I'll tell her, you hit me first" he shrugs

Staring at him I shook my head softly knowing Vivian would get on me about putting my hand on her 'punk ass son'.

"No" I mutter into his chest, pulling the covers over us. "okay so spill the beans"

". . .remember what happened in Italy at the hotel?" he questions unsure

"Yeah" I nod thinking about the shoot out we got into and the people we fought, I also remember almost leaving Tatum

"I went to jail for that, that's why I couldn't call or get in touch with you for the last two months. We didn't erase the camera footage of the hotel parking lot" sighing he rubs my back placing a kiss on my shoulder. "I wasn't suppose to leave Italy when I was released two days ago but I had to see you, I managed to keep your name out if it whenever they would question me about the female in the video. So far all they haven't ID you yet but they're working on it, I'm handling that so don't worry"

"I just got you back I can't lose you-I wasn't thinking, I should've realized I didn't erase the-"

"It's not your fault, the police have been trying to put me away for a few years now Babe. Sooner or later they would've pinned something on me and sent me away-I'm scheduled to appear in court three months from now, if I'm convicted of this then I'll be sent away for five years. If that happens I want you to keep the house and continue with reaching your goals in life. I left more than enough money in your bank account and made the kids bank accounts as well. There's already two separate accounts for them if they decide they would like to go to college-I can't promise that I'd be here with you forever but believe me when I tell if I could I would in a heart beat. I hate being away from you and our family, when all of this is over I'm never leaving your side"

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I shake my head repeatedly not liking this whatsoever.

"No no no, I can fix this. Right?" I mutter to myself thinking of ways I could get him out of this predicament. "I can call some friends and Alik to help-"

"Babe stop" sitting up Elijah holds my arms stopping me from getting out of bed. "I appreciate you wanting to help but don't."

"No I have to help, it's my fault your facing five years in prison! I need to help" I sob taking my phone from the nightstand dialing Alik's number

"Calm down your going to give yourself a heart attack" he sighs wrapping his arms around me, he rocked us from side to side slowly making circles in my belly. "I need you to calm down, Love"

"How can I calm down? The love of my life could be sent away and leave me here alone with two kids and other scary things life keeps sending my way!" I mutter when Alik answer with a grumpy greeting

"Huh?" Alik mumbles

"I need-I need help" I sniffle

"Что случилось?" I could hear the worry roll off his tongue, an engine starting in his background lead me to believe he's about to go somewhere. (what's wrong?)
