I Wanna Be Yours Part 6
Next Morning:
Instead of driving to Detroit like Melinda and Beatrix normally would, Kraven took them on his family’s private jet. Beatrix was staring out the window the whole time while she had her headphones on, listening to music. Kraven was stretched out on the couch with Melinda between his legs while she laid her head on his chest as she slept. He had a smile on his face the whole time as he had one arm wrapped around her and the other rubbing her stomach. Kraven still couldn’t believe it, two little pink lines on a stick changed everything for him instantly.
Then Melinda confessing that she wanted to marry him when he first asked her. And just like him, the moment she looked into his eyes when she first met him, she fell in love. But Kraven always knew she was in love with him. Not because of how she gave herself to him and the connection he felt when they first locked eyes on each other. He knew because when she was asleep and he lay awake he would whisper to her that he loved her and she would always say it back in her sleep. Of course, he was never going to tell Melinda that. No, that secret he was going to take to his grave.
She stretched out as she let out a soft sigh. “Are we almost there, mi corazon?” Melinda said as she slowly opened her eyes.
“Almost moya lyubov,” Kraven said, stroking her hair as he watched her looking over at Beatrix. “What are you thinking about?”
“You know,” Melinda said. “How we’re going to tell her about her father, about the baby, and the adoption.”
“Don’t stress about that moya lyubov,” Kraven said. “We’ll handle it together when the time comes.”
She looked up at him. “You don’t have to tell her with me mi corazon.” Melinda said.
“Moya lyubov,” Kraven said as he brushed her hair behind her ear. “We’re going to be husband and wife, that makes us a team. And as a team, we'll have each other’s backs no matter what the situation is.”
She sighed and nodded her head. “I just worry she’s going to hate us afterwards.” Melinda said.
“She won’t. After all,” Kraven said and he smiled. “You're her mother.”
She smiled. “I still can’t believe she’s calling mommy,” Melinda said.
“You are like her mother moya lyubov.” Kraven said.
“You know,” Melinda said. “Me being her nanny was never supposed to happen.”
He raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean moya lyubov?” Kraven said.
“I never applied to be her nanny,” Melinda said.
“Then how did you get the job?” Kraven said.
“Mr and Mrs Kenzie were doing interviews outside a coffee shop that I stop by every now and again.” Melinda said. “They had a bunch of candidates but a lot were just teenagers looking for a quick buck and others that wanted part time. Then the ones that were willing to travel and be a living nanny, Bea didn’t like. Though Mr Kenzie wanted to hire them, Mrs Kenzie said no. She said she wanted someone not only with experience but someone that would treat Bea like their own child. And Bea would see them like a second mother once she was gone.”
“She was sick, wasn’t she?” Kraven said.
“Breast cancer, it was already at stage four and she didn't have much time.” Melinda said. “So they were pushing for the interviews since Mr Kenzie had just relisted and wouldn’t be able to stay home with Bea. As they argued over who to hire, Bea, being sneaking, got out of her stroller to explore. I was walking up when I heard her crying because she ripped Mr Cuddlesworth's arm when a string on him got caught on the stroller when she got down. Mrs Kenzie was trying to get her to calm down while Mr Kenzie rolled his eyes and said she was babying her too much. But she wouldn’t calm down so I went up and asked if I could help. Bea showed me Mr Cuddlesworth and she pointed at his arm. I just smiled at her and said I could fix him up. I took out my sewing kit I had in my bag because Mama Evelyn always said you’ll never know when you need one.” She smiled.
He smiled. “No wonder why you carry one all the time.” Kraven said.
“Yep,” Melinda said, smiling. “So I started sewing Mr Cuddlesworth while I sang a lullaby to get her to calm down and she did. When I was done, I handed him back to Bea and she immediately hugged me. Next thing I know Bea is sitting on my lap, playing with Mr Cuddleworth while I’m braiding her hair and getting interviewed. I had to lie a bit though, because you know,” she grinned. “All the bodies.” Kraven chuckled. “But I was honest when it came to Mama Evelyn.” She smiled. “I told her how she raised me, straightened me out, how she gave me a code and morals to live by. The next day, I moved into their spare room and Bea became attached to my hip.”
“Then a month later her mother called me into her room and I could feel something was off when she had me close the door.” Melinda said. “She’s laying there, offering her hand to me. So I go over there and sit with her while I hold her hand. She tells me that she was glad that I showed up when she did. Because not only did she find someone that was going to love and care for Bea as much as she did, but will protect her with my life. And she knew when push comes to shove, that I would kill for Bea. That’s when she told me she knew about my past the moment I said my name.”
“How would she know about your past?” Kraven said. “News reports?”
She shook her head. “Turns out she was the CPS worker assigned to my case when they took me away from my parents.” Melinda said. Kraven looked surprised. “She was fighting for me to be taken out of juvenile and placed with Mama Evelyn. But then she started getting sick and that’s when she first found out she had breast cancer. She had to leave while doing chemo because how bad it affected her so my case went to another worker. By the time the cancer was gone and she came back, I already went through hell and started adding to my record. It was her that placed me with Mama Evelyn.”
He smiled. “What are the odds you two would meet again?” Kraven said.
“That’s what she said.” Melinda said. “She said it had to be fate that I showed up when I did. When she needed not only a second mother to Bea but a protector the most. She had me swear to her that no matter what I would protect Bea with my life against anyone, no matter who they were. After I swore to her,” her eyes stared to water. “She closed her eyes and never woke up.” She closed her eyes as a few tears fell.
“It’s alright moya lyubov,” Kraven said as he wiped her tears away. “It’s alright, I’m here.”
She sighed as she opened her eyes. “That’s why I fought the way I did when you and the others showed up,” Melinda said. “I was ready to kill each and everyone of you to protect Bea.”
“Like you would have been about to kill me moya lyubov,” Kraven said and he smirked.
“Oh really now?” Melinda said and she smirked back. “How close did I come to stabbing you in the artery in your thigh because you were too busy looking into my beautiful hazel eyes?” She battered her eyelashes, making him chuckle. “You know I could have taken you out.”
“Yes moya lyubov,” Kraven said, nodding his head. “Whatever you say.” She playfully smacked him and he chuckled again. “I love you moya lyubov.”
“I love you too mi corazon.” Melinda said. He leaned down and kissed her. “You know something, I’m starting to wonder if Mrs Kenzie knew about her husband.”
“Because how she word it?” Kraven said and Melinda nodded her head. “Perphase she did.”
“That would explain why she never divorce him, she was too scared to.” Melinda said and she looked over at Beatrix. “I always thought it was because of how he treated her. He barely acknowledged her, her and Bea. It was a simple kiss when he got home and straight to his office. During dinner time, it was quiet and awkward. He was never at her bedside, even when she asked for him. They didn’t even sleep in the same bed which I thought was because of all the machines Mrs Kenzie was on. Then when I told him she died, he just said okay and made the call to the police to make the report. I thought he was in shock but,” she shook her head. “He wasn’t. It was another day for him. I can’t believe he could treat her so cruelly, a woman as sweet and kind as she was.”
“Sounds like he never loved her,” Kraven said and she nodded her head. “I could never imagine treating you like that moya lyubov.” She turned to him. “If I were to lose you, it would be like losing a part of me. I honestly don’t think I would be able to go on without you by my side.” She laid her head on his chest and gave him a small squeeze, and he laid his head on hers.
“You know you would have to for the baby and Bea,” Melinda said.
He sighed. “I know,” Kraven said.
“Would you get re-married?” Melinda said.
“No,” Kraven said without hesitation. “Would you if I go before you?”
She looked up at him and smirked. “In a heartbeat.” Melinda said. He started tickling her, making her laugh. “I’m joking mi corazon.” He stopped. “A little bit.” He tickled her again. “Stoppppppp.”
“Swear you’ll never marry another,” Kraven said, smiling.
She kept laughing. “What if it was Lewis Pullman?” Melinda said.
“Especially if it’s Lewis Pullman!” Kraven said.
“Okay, okay,” Melinda said as she laughed. “I swear. I swear.” He stopped and she giggled lightly. “You know there will never be another after you mi corazon.”
“I know,” Kraven said and he grinned. “Because I plan to kill all the potential suitors before I go.” She giggled and he placed his hand on her face. “If we have a little girl, I hope she has your laugh.” He leaned down and kissed her. “Get some more sleep moya lyubov, you and our little one need it.” She smiled as she laid her head down, nuzzling his chest. “I love you moya lyubov even long after my last dying breath.”
An Hour Later: Detroit
As soon as the wheels of the jet touched down and they came to a full stop, Melinda’s body started to tense up. In all her years she never thought she was going to bring a boy home to meet her brothers. Let alone one she was getting married to and currently pregnant with his child. She already knew how her brothers were going to react when they see Kraven, especially Bobby. Being the oldest and father figure to them all, he was going to be the first to react. He’s going to do his alpha thing and push out his chest, and pound on it like a silverback gorilla. Angel will follow his lead and even egg Bobby on to do something. Jeremiah may or may not do something, depending on his mood. She also knew it was going to get worse the moment Kraven turned around and ask them for their blessings. Then it was going to be an all out warzone when they bring up the baby. She just hopes she gets Bea out of the way in time.
“Moya lyubov,” Kraven said, he squeezed her hand gently and she turned to him. “I know you're nervous but it will be alright, I promise.” He raised her hand up and kissed it. “I love you.”
She smiled. “I love you too.”
“Do you love me too mommy?” Beatrix said.
She turned to Beatrix with a smile. “Of course I love you sweetie.” Melinda said, wrapping her arms around her and giving her a hug. “Come on, let’s get going.” They got off the jet and over to the rental, and started driving to her brother’s house. “Now Bea, what’s our cover story?”
“A year ago we meant Sergei when the car broke down and we were stranded on the side of the road.” Beatrix said. “It was getting dark and the tow truck wasn’t going to be there for a few hours because they were really busy and didn’t have a lot of drivers. We were going to get an uber when Sergei passed by and he pulled over to help. Since he had a truck, he hooked it up and drove us to a shop owned by his friend. While they worked on the car he took us to get dinner and then you two fell in loveeeeee,” Kraven and Melinda laugh. “And you guys started dating.”
“That’s right sweetie,” Melinda said.
“Mommy?” Beatrix said.
“Yes sweetie?” Melinda said.
“What’s going to happen when daddy comes back?” Beatrix said.
She tensed up. “What do you mean sweetie?” Melinda said.
“Are we still going to be living with Kraven or are we going to move back home?” Beatrix said. “Or am I going to move back home and you stay with Kraven?”
Melinda looked over at him. “Little one, where would you like to live?” Kraven said.
“I want to live with you,” Beatrix said, smiling. “You're more funnier and nicer than my daddy is. And I like you.”
He smiled. “I like you too little one,” Kraven said. “So if you wish to stay with me, then you are more than welcome to. I love having you there.” Beatrix did a happy dance in her seat, making him chuckle. “Now I have a question for you, how do you feel about me and mother here adopting you?”
“Like you become my daddy?” Beatrix said.
“Yes little one,” Kraven said and he felt Melinda’s hand tightening her grip on his. “And you’ll officially become our daughter on paper.”
“I say,” Beatri said. “Let’s do it!” Melinda sighed in relief. “But you have to adopt Mr Cuddlesworth too.”
He chuckled. “Of course, little one. I’ll adopt Mr Cuddlesworth too.” Kraven said and she did her happy dance again. “When we get back home we’ll get the paperwork for the adoption together. It may take a few months, but we’ll all be a family soon, I promise little one.”
“Hear that Mr Cuddlesworth?” Beatrix said to her stuff rabbit. “We’re going to have a new daddy, isn’t that awesome?” She hugged her rabbit. “Yeah, I’m really happy too Mr Cuddlesworth.”
Melinda and Kraven smiled at each other. He looked back at the road as she laid her head on his shoulder. She felt a sense of relief that Beatrix was happy about them continuing to live with Kraven and him becoming her father. But deep down, Melinda had a feeling that was going to happen. Whenever Kraven came home she would run straight to him and jump into his arms. She even started asking Kraven to tuck her into bed and read her a bedtime story. When they were out, she was always holding his hand. There were a few times Melinda swore she heard Bea starting to say daddy but she stopped herself. At least now part of what they had to talk to Bea about was out of the way. Now they just had to talk to her about the baby and what kind of man her real father was. Hopefully when they do, things go smoothly as well.
“Moya lyubov, we’re here.” Kraven said, she lifted her head and looked at the house as he parked in front of it. “Are you ready?”
“Nope,” Meinda said.
He chuckled. “Look at me moya lyubov,” Kraven said. She looked over at him and he lowered his voice to a whisper as he held her hand to his lips. “Whatever happens when we get in there just remember, we are a team and we will face it together. And by some chance they don’t give me their blessings to make you my wife, that will not stop me from making you my wife. So please, do not stress yourself out.” She nodded her head. He kissed her hand and let it go. “Let’s go inside.”
Kraven got out of the car and he went over to the other side, opening both of their doors. He helped Melinda out first then he got Beatrix out of her booster seat. He carried her in one arm and held Melinda’s hand in the other, and they headed up the porch. Melinda let go of Kraven’s hand and stepped forward. She took a deep breath and then she knocked on the door, as soon as it opened a familiar face greeted her.
“Look who it is,” Bobby said, smiling. “Baby girl.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into the house as he gave her a big hug. “I missed you.”
She smiled. “I missed you too Bobby,” Melinda said as he let her go. Angel and Jeremiah came out of the kitchen. “Hey guys.”
“There she is,” Angel said, giving her a big hug. “I missed you more than these guys.”
“Get off of her,” Jeremiah said, pushing Angel away and he hugged her. “Don’t believe Angel I missed you more.
She giggled. “I bet,” Melinda said as they let each other go.
“Where’s the kiddo?” Bobby said.
“Here,” Melinda said. She went back to the door and smiled. “Sorry about that, come on.” Kraven stepped in still holding Beatrix. The room went quiet, Bobby stepped forward, clenching his fist and jaw. “So this is Sergei Kravinoff,’ she motions to her brothers. “These are my brothers I told you about. Bobby, Angel and Jeremiah.”
“It's a pleasure to meet you all,” Kraven said.
A smile formed on Bobby’s face as he relaxed his body. “Hey kiddo,” Bobby said, looking right at Beatrix. “Jerry’s girls are out back playing, won’t you go join them?”
“Okay,” Beatrix said smiling.
Kraven sat her down and she took off through the living room, then kitchen. “Have fun kiddo,” Bobby said. As soon the door closed his smile disappeared. “Now it’s just us,” he said as a couple stepped forward. “Who the hell are you to her, Kraven?”
“Shit,” Melinda whispered.
“Didn’t think I would know who he was huh?” Bobby said. “You're forgetting what I do for a living kid. As soon as I saw his face, I knew who he was, we all do. You know they call him The Hunter, because of how he hunts down people for his old man and kills them.”
“Literally everyone in this room has killed multiple people.” Melinda said.
He paused for a moment. “That’s besides the point.” Bobby said and Melinda rolled her eyes. “Now I’m going to ask you again, who the hell are you to her?”
“I’m her fiance.” Kraven said.
“What?!” All three brothers said.
“The fuck you are,” Bobby said. Melinda raised her left hand, showing off her engagement ring. “Oh hell no.” He shook his head as he chuckled.
“Bobby,” Melinda said.
“No,” Bobby said. “You're too young to be getting married and he’s too old for you.”
“Are you serious?” Melinda said, putting her hands on her hips. “How old were you when you banged that 21 year old?”
He paused again. “Once again that’s besides the point.” Bobby said, Melinda threw her airs up as she scoffed. “Look, I'm the oldest here, what I say goes. So if I say you're not marrying him, you're not.” She crossed her arms as she glared. “Give me that look all you want, it's not going to happen. And how in the hell did you guys even meet in the first place?”
“We met when my car,” Melinda said and Kraven placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Allow me, moya lyubov.” Kraven said. He removed his hand from his shoulders as he took a couple steps forward towards Bobby. “Since you already know who I am I won’t give you the cover story we came up with about her car breaking down and I helped her out. The truth is this, I was ordered by my father to kidnap the little one because Mr Kenzie didn’t deliver the weapons that he promised my father.” Bobby and the others looked at each other and back to him. “I was also ordered to kill everyone else who was in the house. As you can tell, I didn’t do that, instead I took her. The next day after I took them, I came to her room and,”
“Babe,” Melinda said, Kraven turned to her “You sure you want to say the next part?”
“I am moya lyubov,” Kraven said. She sighed and nodded her head. He turned back to her brother. “I offer a deal.”
“What kind of deal?” Bobby said.
“A deal for protection.” Kraven said. “You see, I am the only thing standing between them and my father, and anyone else that wants to do them harm. He had ordered me to kill the little one once he got what he wanted. And I knew once he found out I also took Melinda, he would want me to kill her too. So I went to her room and offered a deal. In exchange for my protection for her and the little one. Along with them being treated like royalty by me and being taken care of, and living with me. She had to agree to be mine.”
“What?!” Bobby said, clenching his fist. “You raped her?!”
“No,” Melinda and Kraven said together.
“I never raped a woman in my life and I certainly wouldn’t rape her,” Kraven said. “I fell in love with your sister the moment I looked into her eyes. Just like she fell in love with me when she looked into mine. But you know how she can be,” he looked over at Melinda as he looked over at him. “She’s a very stubborn and prideful woman, two of the many things I love about her.” They smiled at each other. “I knew she wanted to be with me but she wouldn’t admit it out loud.” He looked back at her brothers. “So I gave an opportunity to say yes to being with me and not feel guilty about it. I confessed my feelings for her the first night we were alone together and asked her to marry.”
“You asked her to marry you?” Bobby said and he chuckled. “Oh boy you got some fucking balls on you.”
“Fuck him up Bobby,” Angel said, smiling.
“Oh I’m going to,” Bobby said and he started popping his knuckles.
“I'm not here to fight you, any of you. I am here for two things, to support her for the anniversary of your guy's mother and brother’s death.” Kraven said. “And to ask for your blessings to marry her. But know this, I don’t need your permission to marry her. I’m going to marry her no matter what. I’m asking you out of respect for the woman I love who loves you and sees you as her father. So, do I have your blessings to marry your baby sister?”
“Nope,” Bobby said, he popped his neck. “And you sure in hell aren’t going to marry her without it because your fucking ass,” he took a couple of steps. “Is going to go swimming in the river next to Victor Sweet’s skeleton that’s still down there.”
“Aye, aye, aye,” Sofia said as she came down the stairs. “I can hear you all the way upstairs Bobby.”
“Shut it La Vida Loca,” Bobby said.
“Man,” Angel said and he smacked Bobby’s arm. “We talked about this, you can’t talk to my girl like that.”
“Then control her,” Bobby said. Sofia started running her mouth off at him in Spanish. “I don’t understand you!”
“I’m saying don’t be stressing your sister out in her condition.” Sofia said.
“Condition?” Bobby said he looked at his brothers who both shrugged their shoulders. He looked over at Melinda. “What condition is she talking about?”
“Do you see Bobby?” Sofia said, taking a hold of Melinda’s face. “She’s glowing.” She smiled and then she placed her hands on her stomach. “Mija how far along are you?”
“You're pregnant!?” All three brothers said.
“Oh your fucking dead!” Bobby yelled and he ran towards Kraven.
“Bobby no!” Melinda yelled.
