Theme Song: Vaults- One Last Night

Belle walked around the carriage house in a pair of panties and University Of Atlas Falls sweater that was no doubt one of her siblings. She pulled her hair back and honestly just wanted to stay here for the night. She knew that she couldn’t because if Jackie found her she’d be kicked off the estate but did she really want to go home to her parental units? After her father declared Zerick wasn’t her brother and exposed his own brother. Did none of them understand how taxing that must have been for father? Tess was clearly pissed at her when she gave that little clue that Zerick wasn’t her father. Walking to the closet she found a pair of True Religion jeans, Balenciaga sneakers, and a Louis Vuittion duffle bag that had to be Max’s. It all screamed early aughts bad bitch, all she needed was the Ed Hardy douchey hat. She slipped them on and they were the same size which was a good sign. David had left a few moments ago after her pleading for them to get a room at the Crestwood. He said he had to go into the hospital and she wanted to roll her eyes. However he was the chief and hell she would look so damn good on his arm. Her driver was on it’s way and she just wanted to sneak off the grounds before Jackie had dobermans eat her alive. As she threw her dress in the bag she walked to the door picking up her purse and jumped back.

“David!” She said looking at him. “I thought you were gone to the hospital what are you doing back here?” Belle said looking at him. “I’m pleasantly surprised though. I wanted you to say all night under the fireplace with me but I guess. Wait, you said you had to go in and do all the paperwork.” She walked out the door closing it. “I think I’m on my way home but you’re back so I don’t know what is going on.”

David had snuck away while Belle fought with him about getting a room after their third or fourth round he wasn’t quite sure but he did need to clear his head and had listened to the voicemail on his phone. Natasha Hasan had been admitted to the hospital and operated on by Dr. Bradshaw someone he didn’t even know the board had went ahead and hired, everything was alright with the soon to be new Ms. Devonshire unfortunately she had lost her baby. He had rounded and then asked for a few weeks off noting that the hospital was in capable hands while he would be gone and with the internet readily available anywhere in the world he could still telehealth with Lowell for his checkups as needed and his other patients. He had driven over to his condo and packed a bag for two weeks and then booked a flight commercial to avoid the press and other shit that came with a vacation for himself and Belle. He had a lot of unused frequent flyer miles that he turned in for the tickets and thanks to knowing a good agent they he had the flight booked in an hour of course it was all dependent on her wanting to go, but perhaps she would want to get away too. He had been allowed back on the grounds informing security he had simply left his cellphone at the estate and made his way back to the guest house.

“I did run to the hospital to at least check on things though I think I would have preferred to stay here with you but I still had obligations up until I went in. Natasha Hassan was admitted I should let you know now that she suffered a miscarriage your nephew didn’t make it.” David said he honestly got that she was at odds with her siblings and this would likely be something that was news in a few days and he didn’t want her to learn about it on social media. He wanted to believe that Belle wasn’t that shallow and that she actually cared about her siblings even if they had a rough go and start of it. “I know that you don’t see eye to eye with them all the time and I know you were worried about Jackie but she is at the hospital at the moment with Max and Chauncey. I pulled a few strings and was actually thinking of maybe taking a last minute trip. I haven’t traveled anywhere in a few years but I feel I don’t actually have to stay here all the time. Work is going good I can remote with patients if I need and for my family I can step back. Do you have plans over the next few weeks?”

**********

Dani didn’t know how long the night before she laid there staring up at the damn ceiling when they got back from the Pub the night before she eventually got up and worked for a few hours regoing over the numbers her dad suggested before eventually crawling back into the empty bed. She hadn’t slept alone in a while except for when Jackson was in rehab while she was pregnant and it was weird she eventually had dozed off to sleep. She didn’t even know she had been asleep that long until she awoke and looked at the clock lucky for them they were doing a nighttime wedding and then she saw the note on her bedside table. She looked around the room how in the hell did he get in here without her noticing and more so why didn’t he at least wake her? Wasn’t he the one that said they had to be apart the night before, sitting up she threw on a robe over her pajamas before grabbing the note. She read it and followed its instructions right down to taking the bottle of water and Tylenol from the night before. Her eyes skimmed the rest; he was so bossy even on their wedding day and she had to break out in a grin as she went to the window to look out at the stables.

She looked at the clock in the room and saw it was about the time that he told her to watch and she did see Mason drag him out blindfolded holding what looked like horses. Two adult ones that she assumed where a stud and a mare and two foals for the twins and her heart fluttered. He’d taught her to ride the first few weeks they were together and she honestly found she really liked it, not to the competition level or anything like that but she enjoyed a good ride. He had built a stable into the house but they hadn’t filled it yet mainly because they both had been so busy with wedding stuff, work and the twins. She also had a fondness for crops too and she couldn’t help but grin at him. He still knew how to get her heart racing with just a memory or a sweet gesture and the twins hadn’t changed that if anything he actually expanded on that even more. She still thought it was silly he was wearing a stupid blindfold when he had snuck into her room to place a note down. But she couldn’t help the tears that flooded her eyes and threatened to fall instead she picked up her phone and her fingers flew over the keys.

They’re gorgeous thank you so much I can’t wait to ride them with you. Also you should have let me know you were here. I love you, see you in a bit. P.S. Whitney has your gift just don’t open it in front of everyone, it may send my dad into a heart attack.

She looked at the rest of the note seeing food already in a covered serving tray in the room and opened the top as she watched Mason lead him back to the stables as she picked up the bowl of strawberries and looked at the rest including coffee. Sitting down as she texted her mother asking how far away she was from the house and how the twins were. She smiled at the text back when her mom said she was a few minutes out and the twins were with Jackie still at the house. She had trusted Maddie to watch them at the mansion the night before and had wondered if she and Jackson had asked too much of their niece. She had watched Fox too. She settled into breakfast looking at the file for work and putting it away, it could wait today was about her and Jackson officially starting their lives together. She then sent a text to Val asking where she was with the dress. When the knock came on the door though she sat her phone down and went to it looking on the other side as she saw Bliss with Fox and smiled at her opening the door to let her in, the room should be big enough to hold everyone.

“Sorry I left you with Whitney last night and that me and Merci had words, aren’t you glad you and Hunter skipped over all that drama? Did you see Val out there by chance? I really just don’t want him to see the dress and he’s outside with Mason right now.” Dani hugged her and then her nephew as she pulled back looking at Bliss as Fox went to the food and helped himself. She had to laugh at the sight he was a good kid and she was so happy that Bliss and Hunter had Fox and that Dimitri for now was out of everyone’s life. “Also thanks for offering to take the twins for a few weeks while we are gone, we decided last night to take them with us. I know it’s strange but we’ve both been so busy with the wedding and work it gives us downtime as a family too. Plus instead of watching them you and Hunter can bond with Fox too and start your life with him and I’d hate to take away from that.” She finished smiling at Bliss. She really didn’t think that anything could stop her day or how happy she was or what she was feeling.

**********

Jackson sat in the middle of Club XES and the room started to scan the room. Jamal and Rory  were throwing money at the dancers. He scanned the room seeing Hunter and Mason approaching him with bottles of champagne. As he looked at his boys coming over he saw Chauncey forcing Simon to touch a stripper’s butt. He laughed as he stood up looking at them. “Man this is popping. I don’t believe in twenty-four hours I’ll be a married man but it’s nice to be able to party one last time without being drunk or high because I can actually say I’m having fun. And did I just say popping man what do I think it’s 2010?” Jackson laughed as he looked at his best friends. “So the new Chronicle came out today and it had all sorts of gossip but man did she highlight Jon’s attack on everyone and that you’re a married man. Hunter I could kick your ass, you married another one of my sisters and this time I’m not invited. No seriously Hunt I’m happy for you and Bliss but Dani and I are pissed that you didn’t invite us.”

Jackson saw Hunter smiling at him. “I understand though, I almost wish Dani and I did that an intimate small wedding. Yesterday she was gung ho for the wedding but after Dimitri, Jon, and all the drama with my dad and mom. Well she’s having second thoughts and I can’t say I blame her but I convinced her at the rehearsal dinner from hell. We deserve this. You know? We deserve to show the world we love each other. I mean that’s all I want for my wife and woman to show everyone how much she means to me and my family. Mason you and Zach are getting serious, any wedding bells?” He asked as Mason poured them champagne. “You know Mase I never thought we’d end up with Fraisers you let alone with a male one.” Jackson teased him as he smiled. “I’m happy you’re living your truth man. Life is too short for us to be anyone else but Mason and the Jackson I am and the Hunter you are. Want to hear some crazy shit? So my father hired Skye Morgan to come back to Atlas Falls to break me and Dani up.”

Mason was happy to head out for an evening of fun he and Zach had decided to separate once at the club so that Zach could talk to his uncle and his cousins and he wanted to spend some time with Jackson. It was honestly nice to just be out and having a good time with his best friends without worrying about if they’d have to haul Jackson out of room with women and drugs, make a call to Jackie to tell them he was high or call an ambulance. He even had seen Simon arrive and knew it wasn’t exactly Simon’s scene but had to laugh when Chauncey all but forced his hand on a woman. “Zach and I are right now just happy and enjoying each other you know? You are right it is good though to be living my truth after all these years and to know that my friends and family support me and my choices no matter what.” Mason said picking up his glass and taking a drink.

“I was just as shocked as you were that Hunter over here tied the damned knot without literally any of us in attendance though I’ll admit I’ve known he was going to propose and marry your sister for a few months. With Dimitri in town I had a talk with them legally to keep Fox here but now he’s going to be in jail and we won’t have to worry about him anymore.” Mason said seeing Hunter look at them both and he shrugged, he knew the plans well before Jackson did with Hunter and Bliss and he was happy about it and happy for them. He laughed as he saw Jamal and Rory eyeing all the girls Hunter and Jackson though didn’t seem super affected by it and he figured that was more their brother’s youth than anything. “For the record I am looking forward to the food and the party. As for you and Dani I think you should owe Simon something I about died when he told me you took her home that night from here, finally after years of telling us you wanted to bed her just to see what it would be like and then yeah I paid him money.” He paused as he took another sip. “You’re dad has always been an asshole when it came to the Fraiser’s not surprised.”

Brooke fluffed her hair down her back as she laid out on the couch. No that was horrible. She quickly got up and ran to the desk and laid on it. No that was slutty. She hopped off the desk and rushed to the bed and jumped inside of it. Shaking her head no she looked at the lingerie that Val sent over. Shimmying out her thong and bra she picked up the one piece zip up corset look. Quickly placing it on and zipping it up she grabbed her lace stockings and black red bottom stilettos. Flaring out her hair and grabbing her pink lipgloss. Blotting her lips she quickly applied mascara and looked around the hotel suite she knew how she wanted to look. Walking to the balcony she opened it and then ran back into the master bedroom. She pulled out a robe with feathers around the wrist and the bottom. Smiling, she looked in the mirror and knew this was what she wanted. After all they’d been through so much and she wanted what Hunter and Bliss have. That was inspirational and she truly felt like she had to do more to make Atticus know she wanted him so much. It was only a few hours until Jackson and Dani’s rehearsal dinner but she wasn’t going to waste those hours. Hearing the keycard slide through the slot she turned around grinning from ear to ear. As she turned around to see Atticus standing there with his mouth hanging open with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

“I thought that we could enjoy dessert before dinner.” She opened her robe and it showed her unique lingerie as she walked to the table and platters of dessert surrounded them. Grabbing the whipped cream in a can she shook it up spraying a little on her left breast. Taking her right finger she swiped the cream off of herself, licking it seductively. “It’s infused with rum and it’s delicious but I’m sure you can taste it yourself. I missed you so much and you’ve been working so harda as the king regent now and I want to give you something that you won’t forget about what’s at home waiting on you every night.” Brooke purred as she picked up a strawberry and dipped it in the chocolate syrup on the platter. Feeding it to Atticus she seductively licked the side of his lips as she leaned in for a full kiss. “I have champagne, are you thirsty?”

Atticus had just come from the consulate as he dropped his father off to return home to the island his brother was still in the hospital where he belonged and as soon as he was good enough for travel he would be extradited to New York to face rape charges. There as no security detail on him now, no one in Isla Del Cruces to save him from the reality of what he had done, no one but Amanda who his father and promptly fired once he learned she as still representing his brother legally. He had made calls to various allies to make sure they would not harbor his brother if he were to escape the police they had agreed and then he had ran some numbers about the energy solar panels. Isla Del Cruces would simply be the Europe hub for DGI panels in fact if he ran the numbers right they could open a plant in two to three years creating a ton of jobs inside the country and power to Europe. It was a risk and after discussing it with his father one he was going to tell Jackson the crown had agreed too, it was what was best for the country. Once done there he had made his way to Tiffany’s and picked out a stunning diamond pendant for Brooke and some roses on the way back to the hotel suite. She was sacrificing so much for them and he was glad they were moving forward as a couple for them and his soon to be queen. She was sacrificing everything for his reign, her career that she had worked hard for, she would eventually come to live with the royal family on the island and more walking in though he saw in her outfit and lost it, she was so fucking gorgeous.

He placed the flowers down on one of the tables in the room and looked around at the desserts that she had ordered and couldn’t help the grin that came out. He did admire a woman that could rock the leather look and Brooke was by far fucking gorgeous in it and he had to take a breath when she put that cream on herself and then licked it off and he licked his lips at her before walking forward to her hand and the extended strawberry and taking it from her in one bite. Her lips reached for his and engulfed hers with his own as he gripped her hips pulling her too him when she mentioned champagne he pulled back. “I think I could use a drink.” He said looking at her and sitting her on the edge of the table and running his hands up her bare thighs and seeing she was wearing nothing underneath. He looked at her blowing on her heat watching her squirm. “Pour me a glass would you?” He asked before he lowered his head and began to slowly drink her juices as he did so.

Jon looked over at Skye and after them coming to understanding that he deserved to see this kid up close. He deserved for Skye to introduce him to their son. Which was something he never thought he wanted until this very moment. He never wanted something so much that he couldn’t have. This boy was bonded to these people but the animal in Jon was starting to roar. Earlier in the evening Jon saw that raging against Skye would be dumb. She was sensitive, that wasn’t the plan. He truly wanted to hurt her and everyone involved but Skye wouldn’t help him. He laid out his plan to get Miles back. They had to look like a couple in love and if he had to play that with Skye well he would. He knew this was an uphill fight against the Hessington’s but he would fight for his child. He’d move heaven and earth for Miles and didn’t even know him. He never felt so much longing and love all at once as he looked over at Skye. In his life he never wanted to hit a woman so badly but Skye today made him understand how someone could squeeze the life out of someone else in rage. He was enraged and she thought he was using drugs again. His fury and mind was working faster than it ever had. Moments like this his abuse of pills felt like he needed it. He needed to pop a pill to ease his nerves. All decisions right now was to get Miles.

“Was it a hard delivery?” Jon asked, looking at the road almost at the Kincaid mansion. “Were you alright? Tell me about how he came into the world? Skye I know you were on drugs but you know my family is huge on family. Why didn’t you give him to Miranda or my mom? I know you didn’t know but after you did. You knew back then because Lowell right? You said earlier that Lowell thought Miles was his grandson. So you knew back then after the DNA test against Jackson and we could have I don’t know talked to them. I guess I understand your motives but I wish you would have let me know you know. I think that was really selfish and shitty to do to me or Jackson. I can admit Skye I have more history with you but I wasn’t trying to dismiss you I was dismissing that time in my life. I was in a bad place, and what we had represented that. Now I know we at least gave something beautiful in that darkness.”

Skye had packed her things almost like she was in some sort of haze after what they did back at the condo she was pretty sure it wasn’t love or hate for her and it was emotions that she didn’t want to deal with. The way he just rolled off of her as he was done and quietly demanded that she take him to see Miles. She had packed slowly not even sure why she was going with Jon maybe because she’d somehow always felt safe with him as a cop and a good man, a man that she had hurt so deeply. They had barely spoken on the drive over to the Kincaid mansion and instead she looked out the window at the snow on the ground and closed her eyes. What in the hell was she doing? Charles had warned her that if she ever showed her face up around him again she would regret it but even he couldn’t of been that dumb to try and take a shot at Jon after the Kendrick trial. The thought alone sent a slight shiver down her spine she hadn’t told Jon about the day she signed and instead she looked over at him when he asked about the birth. She had been clean then and she knew up till that point there had been concern over Miles’s birth one that Whitney had watched over like a hawk before she had bedded Ryan and begun to hate Whitney they had actually had common ground for a while.

“It was hard he came two months early, the doctors said it was a combination of the drugs. I had an epidural and they told me I could hold him for a few minutes, I didn’t. I was clean the entire time I was pregnant from the moment I found out and I know you don’t believe that but it’s true it was part of my agreement with them. I honored that for him and me too. He spent time in the NICU and I got an apartment close to them and found a steady job.” Skye said quietly looking over at him she had agreed to that part not holding Miles when she signed the adoption agreement. It had killed her but once Miles was out or her body she knew it was over and it wasn’t because Whitney or Ryan were bad people they were good parents. She had been confused at the time and had tried to back out Merci had told her that Jon was out of the VA and doing okay and she thought about showing up and telling both him and Jackson. Charles had put a stop to it and even now she was not going to tell Jon, Charles reach went far beyond the mayor’s office in Atlas Falls and if he wanted he could end her life, Merci and Jon if she told what happened. “Jon we talked about this your family they all hate me. Lowell called me last year told me he knew my secret so I came. He paid me money to try and seduce Jackson and then told me that Miles was not his grandson so that was when I really knew deep down that he was yours.”
