Chase POV MM

Rolling over I groaned at the incessant ringing of the phone. I'd worked the graveyard shift last night, and getting up any time before noon was not on my agenda.

"Hello," I growled knowing that if his was telemarketer I was going to hunt them down and kill them.

"Leigh Anne?"

The sound of my given name roused me quickly. Only two people called me that ever.

"Mia what's wrong?" I asked instantly concerned by the tone of her voice.

She had just moved out my house a week ago. The team was all back together, Vince, and Jesse were out of the hospital, and all charges has been drop on account of a lack of evidence. So, what could possibly be happening now to make her sound so damn devastated?

"I'm pregnant," She said shattering both of our lives, as we knew them.

"Leigh… Chase?"

"I'll be there tomorrow," I said all ready thinking of all the preparations that needed to be made in the next twenty-four hours.

"Are you sure?" She asked knowing that the last thing I wanted to do was come live with the team again.

"It's about time I see my husband again," I said twisting the one karat platinum princess cut piece that had been my dream ring.

"Thanks Leigh Anne," She said heaving a sigh of relief.

"I guess you're waiting until I get there to tell everyone."

"Well I was kind of hoping..."

"That all the drama from my arrival will take some of the heat of you?"

"Well...yea."

"Well on the bright side you and Blondie don't have to hide that you're still together."

"I'm really afraid of how everyone's going to react," She said sounding so much like a small child it made my heart ache. We'd all lost so much, if this made her happy then she deserved it.

"It's set in stone now kid, they'll have to adjust."

"Have I ever told you you're the best cousin ever?" She asked making me roll my eyes.

"Yea, Yea," I said remembering the million other times I'd heard her say that when I bailed her out.

"Mami , he still loves you.."

"Mi, we just need to end this, things have gone on how they are long enough."

"There's a reason you two aren't divorced yet," She said still refusing to accept that life wasn't always happily ever after.

"Mia the only way this is going to end is in a D- I- V- O –R –C –E," I replied still frustrated that we hadn't taken that step after more than a year.

"You owe me, I gotta go take care of things, so I'll call you before I get there," I said imaging the headache tomorrow was going to give me.

"I know, thank you."

"Oh make sure and tell Letty the real bitch is coming back," I said laughing as I thought of my little protégé.

She had definitely been my pride, and joy cause Mia and I were like night, and day. Now Letty on the other hand, took shit from no one, and knew how to handle herself with the boys, I'd like to think I was responsible for that one.

"Hey Letty! Come here a minute," She yelled trying to wrestle the girl away from the PS2 she was currently dominating on.

"I guess I'll cut you guys a break," She said cockily setting aside the controller and sauntered up the stairs.

Smiling Mia shook her head; she was so much like Chase.

"What's up girl?" Letty asked not hesitating to sprawl across the bed."

"Well two things," She said suddenly nervous, Letty was one of her best friends, but she had no love for Brian, and she almost always sided with Dom when it came to big issues.

"First you have to promise not to say anything to Dom Let."

"Oh Shit, this must be deep," She said sitting up.

"You know I can keep my mouth shut girl."

"I'm pregnant."

"What!" Letty hissed totally taken back.

Mia pregnant? Mia unwed, and pregnant just did not sit right.

"But how." She asked knowing that it had been six months since everything had gone down.

"Oh shit, you've been seeing him behind Dom's back, Mia, he's going to kill him!" Letty said wincing at the vision in her head.

"I think he'll be too busy to do that," Mia said smiling confidently.

"I got a message for you… the real bitch is coming back."

"Chase is coming here! Damn. I'm about to be living in Days of Our Lives," Letty said making Mia laugh.

"I'm for real, the boys are going to go ape shit!"

"Shh," Mia said

"Do you want this baby?" Letty asked suddenly serious.

"More than anything Let, we want to get married, I know he did us wrong, but he saved Vince, got them out of jail, lost his job, and still treats me like a princess."

" I knew when you agreed so quickly not to see him that something was up, I should have known you were still seeing him, I never saw you like that with any other guy you dated."

"Now let's just hope my smoke screen works."

"Trust me it will… I missed Chase you know," Letty said thinking of the girl who was like an older sister.

"I did too; living with her while you guys were gone brought back a lot of memories."

"Too bad we can't even mention her name with out him flipping out." Letty said snorting as she shook herself. Looks like all the time of peace was over for a while
