Alaska nodded. "Yeah, the police had given up after about a month since there weren't really any clues as to where I had gone."

Victor looked scared at that and said very softly to hide the break in his voice. " I am glad you lived.. " Tears filled his beautiful icy eyes and his smile weakened with pain. He hated the idea of it all..

"Yeah, me too," she said, hugging Victor. "I'm glad that he didn't hurt me anymore that he had..." He hadn't just******d her, he had abused her, too, when he didn't get what he wanted.

" He will never do it to you again.. and no one else either. ' He stated protectively. Victor refused to let his partner- his love to be hurt again. His hand rested against the side of her stomach as he said. " And not one of our children will be hurt in that way either.. "

Alaska smiled. But doubt crept into her mind. Victor wouldn't be around forever, and neither would she. They might get into trouble when they wouldn't be able to help them...

Victor could almost read her very thoughts and said. " Gerard said most of my gang's alive.. they will protect them, and there children will be there to take over when we are all gone. They will be safe when we are gone because they will have their group to protect them. "

Alaska nodded. "Alright..." She only hoped he was right.

" I should take you to meet them sometime. They would want to meet their second boss. " Victor said kissing her cheek, his arm wrapped around her again.

Alaska liked the sound of being second in charge, even if she would rather be first. "Does that mean I get to boss them around sometimes?"

" Sometimes? You get to boss them around all the time. They need strict leaders to keep them in line. Like you saw how I handled Gerard.. that was a tame punishment. "
