There was chaos on the front lawn, everyone was fighting and Diago was in the very center of the brawl. Diago had just sent a punch to Braxton's face when he looked up to see Maddy squealing the tires of her caddy back up the front yard, pulling to an abrupt halt next to Bianca.
As the struggled continued around him, Diago watched with a sudden rush of anxiety as Veda jumped out of the car, helping Bianca to carefully, but quickly get into the back seat. His heart raced so fast it felt like it would implode as he watched the caddy race at top speed in reverse back through the yard than out to the street.
He still could not believe what had just happened, she was like a tornado, she had ripped through their security gate, raced up his front yard, had created a 'woman' hunt, a serious brawl, slapped her father, revealed her pregnancy than was gone almost as quickly as she had appeared.
A million different feelings, a thousand and one scenarios, an irrational desperation and every emotion he had ever felt rushed through his head like a wrecking ball in the 3 seconds it took for him to react.
"NOOO!" he roared, towards the disappearing car, pulling himself from the police officers, security guards, his family and her family. No way in hell would he allow her to just disappear from his life again after she had just crashed back into it.
Maybe logic had no place in love, maybe rationality was against the rules and thinking was against the very code of the heart. He was sick of thinking, he was sick of worrying, sick of forcing himself to hate and to not care; he wanted her, no matter what.
***
What, was she crazy? Did she just hitchhike across the country to just punk out and leave? Did she slap her father across the face just to give up?
HELL NO!!! FUCK THAT!
"Turn the car around." she said lifting her head from Veda's shoulder.
"What?" Maddy asked pushing the car to 100 miles per hour.
"Turn around."
"I don't think it's a good idea, B, the cops are all over us, look" she pointed behind them.
Veda and Bianca turned to see the police car catching up behind them.
"Oh shit!" Veda exclaimed, "Go faster!"
"I'm going as fast as I can!" Maddy said, the pedal was pushed down to the floor
"We're going to jail." Veda said with a grin.
"They'll NEVER catch us!" Maddy smiled ear to ear, the thrill of the chase making her adrenaline pump at an accelerated rate through her body
"Neither one of you are going to jail, I'm taking full blame." Bianca said firmly
"No your not!" Maddy immediately objected.
"We did this together!" Veda firmly stated.
"NO! I'm not letting you get in ANY trouble over this! Pull over and let me out, I'm giving myself up!"
"Hell no!" Maddy said from the font, looking in her rear view mirror to see the police car gaining speed behind them. "Out of the question, Veda squashed it.
"This is not how I expected this to go." Bianca said watching the police car gain on them. In all honesty, she had no idea what she expected had she been stupid enough to believe Diago would just forgive her so easily? "Just pull over; prison can't be much worse than my life." She said as the police car pulled up beside them.

It probably wasn't a good idea for Diago to jump in to the police car, but there was no other transportation available. If he took the time to get his own car, he would loose Bianca, and there was no way in hell he would allow that to happen.
"PULL OVER!" he yelled towards the speeding car. All three girls turned in surprise to see Diago driving the police car, Maddy laughed and Veda exhaled the breath she had been holding for the past 3 minutes. Bianca just looked at him "PULL OVER NOW!" he roared and Maddy looked back to Bianca for permission, Bianca, still staring at him nodded her head.
"Hold on girlies." Maddy said as she hit the breaks, the old caddy squealing to a smoky stop. Diago did the same, than threw open the door, rushed out of the police car and jumped into the back of the caddy landing right next to a shocked Bianca. Veda climbed over the front to the passenger seat.
She opened her mouth to speak, but he grabbed her cheeks, pulling her mouth to his for a kiss. This time when there lips touched a tempestuous current sparked through their mouths, pulling them closer together, he kissed her as deeply as he possibly could, holding her even tighter. They kissed for what seemed like hours, so lost in each other, the world around them ceased to exist. Finally he pulled back, still holding her face, still amazed she was here. She breathed deeply; bringing the air back in to her lungs. He looked at her, here eyes filled with tears and he vowed to himself to never allow her to be sad again.
"You better never leave me again." he said his voice deep and demanding, his eyes dead serious despite the pain shining through.
"never." she shook her head, tears rolling from her red rimmed eyes.
"I don't care how scared you are, know that I will always protect you, nothing can ever hurt you again." he pulled her back into his embrace, holding her tightly. That was all it took, once her head hit his chest she was letting out all of her frustration, loneliness, fear and emotion; crying like a child.
Maddy and Veda sat face forward; their own tears had started falling the minute Bianca's had. The stifled their sniffles, a travel sized container of tissues between them as they silently listened to the lovers' reunion.

The brawl ended directly after Diago took off in the police car. Security escorted Blake and Braxton Rose off the premises, with a threat of jail time if they returned. The police officers were ready to go and chase down Diago, but there boss, the main man in charge at the precinct, Charlie Owens ordered them to wait for his command.
Dorian watched as Charlie Owens walked up the front yard to stand before him.
"Mrs. Stone." he smiled, lifted his hat and nodded to Darleen who nodded in return. "Dorian, I have a damaged car, a stolen car and injured officers." he shook his head, "I expect this from Jake, but Diago?"
"The car will be returned, all damages will be paid for by me and now you have 3 brand new cars, as well as a HEFTY donation." he said and Charlie nodded. Dorian turned to leave, wrapping his arm around Darleen before he turned back towards Charlie, "this incident disappears."
"What incident." he said with a smile and turned around. Charlie was happy, every time one of the Stone boys got in n trouble, his pockets got fat and the police department really benefited.

When they arrived at 'The Rouge', they were not entirely surprised that Pierre had been expecting them. He took them back to the room they had been in last time they were at 'The Rouge'.
She stood before him their eyes locked intimately; he pulled the tank top slowly over her protruding belly, his large hands under the material as he slid it up. She lifted her arms; his hands exploring her bare skin sending a tingle up her spine than she felt a wave of cold as the shirt slid over her head and broke their eye contact for a minute. Than she stood before him, his eyes bringing the warmth back into her soul.
He felt a sense of pride he had never experienced in his life, looking at this girl, the very girl he was ready to fight the world for, the girl he had told his family to fuck off for, now she was back and she was his and she had his baby nestled deep inside her.
He looked down at her in awe, her body had changed and he knew he was part of the reason it was changing, her breasts were very full, her belly firm and round. She was a lot thinner than she had been, which he knew couldn't be healthy for her, he worried what conditions she had been living in.
He went to his knees before her, his shaky hands going to the smooth skin of her belly. He trailed kissed down it, his hands rubbing the tight round bulge; he slipped her sweat pants down her full hips, taking them to the floor, than helping her step out of them. He stood back up his eyes relocked onto hers.
