Page 325 of When We Fall: Part Two
“Grab him out,” I murmured before going to the other side and opening the door. I took out the car seat that held Dom’s newborn son.
Sante Domenico De Santis.
Vin took Kingston, Fallon’s son, out, and we went into the house.
“Dom!” Vin shouted. “Dominic!”
Dom came into the living room, looking like he’d been in the shower since he wasn’t wearing a shirt, had wet hair, and was only wearing sweatpants.
His green eyes widened as we approached with the babies.
“G-Get Fallon,” he choked out.
Vin handed off Kingston to him and rushed from the room, calling for Levin and Fallon.
“Here.” I handed him his son. “Sante.”
“Oh my god,” he rasped, placing the car seat next to Kingston’s and staring down at the babies asleep in their onesies.
The guys came back into the room. Fallon rushed forward and went to his knees next to Dom, weeping softly as he fumbled with unhooking Kingston from his seat.
I watched with a tight throat as both the guys took their babies out and held them.
“How?” Dom asked. “Why? Is Bianca OK?”
“She’s fine,” I murmured. “I had to get the babies out.”
Dom kissed Sante’s head tenderly. “My boy,” he choked out, tears streaming down his cheeks. “Fuck. Shit. Damnit.” He winced. “I-I shouldn’t swear, right?”
Vin chuckled.”I think it’ll be OK. He doesn’t know what you’re saying.”
“Is there anything in the car?” Levin asked, tearing his eyes away from the guys.
“Yeah. I brought a couple of bags. Some clothes, and Bianca was pumping to try to give them breast milk. There’s some formula and bottles for them. Little bit of everything.”
“Vin, help me,” Levin said. Vin left with Levin. They were gone for several minutes before Dom spoke.
“What’s going on?” Dom asked.
“I’m leaving. I got Rosalie back. She’s waiting for me at Matteo’s.”
Levin and Vin came in and placed the bags on the floor.
“Rosalie is with my dad?” Levin asked tightly.
“No. He’s not there. She hasn’t seen him,” I said.
Levin frowned at that information. “Where is he?”
“I don’t know. Matteo said he needed some time off to sort through some personal matters. That’s all I know.”
Levin’s frown deepened at that information, but he didn’t ask more questions. It wasn’t like I had more answers for him anyway.
“What will happen to B?” Vin asked. “If you’re leaving?”
I breathed out. “Um, I need you guys to be calm, OK?”
Dom glanced at the guys, but he nodded tightly, Sante cradled in his arms.
