“Are you kidding me? You were kidnapped by that f*cking a*shole, and you didn’t tell us!” my mom screeched. I winced. My mom hardly swore, so when she did, she was pissed.
“Ellie, please calm down. She probably didn’t want to worry us,” Nana said.
“No, Mom. This is something we should have been told.”
“You’re right mom. But everything happened so fast and there was so much going on, and Nana is right. I’m fine, I was saved, there was no need to worry you.”
“Isha, we could have been there for you if you had told us. Would you have ever told us if Wolf didn’t let it slip?” Nana
asked.
“Probably not. It’s something that happened, and it’s over,” I said. I was starting to get nauseous and dizzy. I was trying
not to get stressed by this conversation.
“And what of this Becks Family Legacy?”
“What of it? It’s something I’ll have to learn.”
“It’s a lot of pressure,” mom said.
I nodded, looking down. It was just us. The guys were at the build site for the house, showing Uncle Mark and Robert the
area. But I bet they didn’t think about the conversation my mom, Nana and I were having. I know I didn’t.
“It’s just so much, you’ll be like the queen of the family. Everyone will be coming to you, demanding things. And you’ll be a
new mother, and what about finding time with your guys?” mom asked.
“I don’t know mom, but we’ll figure it out.”
“Figure it out,” she scoffed.
“Mom, what do you want me to do? I can’t say no. Dawson and the guys are my life. They’re the fathers of my child and
future children. I can’t just give that up. I have to cope with it, and I will not let the family down,” I snapped. I was starting to shake. I got up to get a drink of water and my steps faltered.
“Isha!” Nana cried out. She stood fast and wrapped her arms around me. “Sit, sit, I’ll get you a drink.”
“Isha, baby, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t be stressing you out. I’m just worried about you, and hearing you were kidnapped. It just triggered me. You’ll understand when your little one is born.”
I nodded. I put my head in my hands. The dizziness was almost too much and my stomach was turning.
“Isha, here, drink some water,” Nana said.
I drank the water like it was the last time I was going to drink ever.
“Slow down darling, you’re going to get sick,” Nana said.
The moment she said it, it all came back up. I jumped up and ran to the sink and threw up the water and the lunch we
had.
“Oh, god, Isha. I’m sorry,” mom said as she ran over and rubbed my back.
“It’s okay. I need to lay down.” I grabbed the mouthwash that was on the counter. We put mouthwash everywhere when I
was having morning sickness and just never put them away. Thank God.

They helped me to the couch and I lay down. I felt so weak. Mom went and got me a wet cold washcloth and put it on my head.
“Let me tell you about Aria Becks when she was Aria Strike,” Nana said.
I already knew the story, but hearing from Nana’s point of view was funny. She was so dramatic about it all and I could picture everything she was telling me.
“When she tried to seduce your grandfather, I almost pulled all the hair out of her head. I had just gotten done with a shoot, and I was walking to my dressing room. Your grandfather was there waiting for me with lunch. I saw her go into my dressing room and I quickened my steps. She didn’t know I was behind her. I saw her take her top off. He thought it was me. He was reading a magazine, so he said something like, ‘I got your favorite, my dear, and then he looked up. The look on his face was horror, and then he saw me and called out my name. She turned quickly, and I saw a malicious gleam in her eye. She was like, ‘Oh, Nora, we didn’t want you to find out like this, and I saw red. Your grandfather was fast and launched himself from the couch. He caught me before I was on her. She chuckled and put her shirt back on. Your grandfather swore up and down it wasn’t what it looked like. I knew, he didn’t realize I had walked in soon after her. I
hated her for so long. But she sure has changed. She’s so sweet now.”
“Well, she’s the head of a lot of committees. She throws charities, and she’s head of the Becks family. I won’t be the matriarch for a long time. I’ll have plenty of time to learn. I mean they’re only in their fifties,” I said.
“That’s true. I guess I just pictured you being bombarded the moment you married Dawson. I’m sorry I stressed you out.”
“It’s okay mom. I understand your worry. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you and Nana about the kidnapping, but there was really nothing you two could have done. I’m okay. No nightmares, the guys and I talked about everything. I’m in a good place. Just trying to keep my stress manageable. I am worried about the weight I’m gaining. Ava is a month longer than I am
and our bellies look the same.”
“Well, you’re eating well. I’m sure you’re getting plenty of exercise,” Nana said. I blushed and nodded.
“I’m walking too, and lifting ten pounds in weights.”
“That’s good. We’ll see what the doctor says tomorrow. You’re still okay with us going with you guys?” Nana asked.
“Yes. We all want you there.”
“Good, I’m excited. Do you think they’ll do an ultrasound?” mom asked.
“I’m going to ask for one every time we visit. I like seeing little Bean. We can afford it.” She nodded.
“Have you thought about names?” Nana asked.
“Yes. I asked the guys for a name from each of them for a boy and a girl. Mic and Ford said the same name for a boy Seth and then Mic said Sandy for a girl and Ford said Amber. Davis said Michael and Rya and Dawson likes Asher and Ashley. I
told them the middle name for the boy will be Daniel and I wanted the middle name for a girl to be a mix of yours and
Nana’s name, so Dawson said what about Ellora. I really like that. So we put the names in a hat. The little boy will be Seth
Daniel Becks and the little girl will be Rya Ellora Becks.”
“Oh, I like those names,” mom said with tears in her eyes. Nana, sniffed and nodded. She dabbed at her eyes to keep her
tears away.
“How are you feeling now, dear,” Nana asked.
“I feel better. The dizziness is gone.”
Just then the door opened. Ford was the first to walk in, his smile evaporated when he saw me on the couch. Mom got up and walked over to Mark and Nana grabbed Robert’s hand and they went out back.

“Princess, are you okay?” Ford asked as he knelt down. He put his hand to my cheek. His thumb rubbed, the look of concern on his, Davis, Mic and Dawson’s faces made me fall even more in love with all of them.
“I’m good. Just got a little upset. Mom and Nana didn’t take Wolf’s news of me getting kidnapped very well. And mom asked me about the legacy your mom told her yesterday.”
“Yeah, I got a scolding too from my mom and dad. But I reassured them that none of it will come out in the media,”
Dawson said.
“That’s good. I still don’t want to know what happened to him. I love you all so much. Thank you for keeping me safe.”
“We love you too Angel. You’re our everything,” Davis said.
“So, I heard something from James,” I said with a wicked smile.
“What?” they all asked in unison.
“I heard you all had a really good time at your stag party.”
Dawson blushed a deep red but smiled. Mic, Davis and Ford looked a little disgruntled.
“We wouldn’t know. I still don’t remember everything,” Ford grumbled.
“I’ve gotten some flashbacks,” Mic said with a smirk.
“I just liked the kiss I got the next morning,” Davis said, winking at Dawson. Dawson winked back.
“Wish I could have seen that. I can only picture what I was told.”
“How did James find out?”
I started chuckling.
“Savage checked on you all because he said you were pretty wasted and he didn’t want any of you choking on your vomit, but when he checked you all were all over each other. He told James, because he thought I’d like to know, and I did. Wish
there was a picture.”
They all chuckled. “I’m glad there’s not,” Mic said. “Sloppy s*x is fun but it’s not a good look, I’m sure we all looked f*cked
up.”
I giggled, it was exactly what I needed to feel one hundred percent.
Surprise!
