“Mmm baby, this sandwich is the bomb.”
“It’s just a cold cut sandwich, but ok.”
Before she could respond she had another contraction.
“Ayce, we can finish eating these in the car. Please take me to the hospital now so I can get your son out of me.”
***
Six hours after we arrived at the hospital, Ava gave birth to Jayce Langston Thomas, Jr. I watched as she held him in her arms for the first time and I knew that I was going to marry her. We are meant to be and my son deserves a family.
Taking Junior from Ava so she can rest, I looked at him. He was perfect. I had to admit, I felt bad that he would never know any of his grandparents and I knew that I had to tell Ava about Duce soon. When the nurse came in and took Junior, I figured I would have a moment to speak to Ava, but she was knocked out. She was complaining about pain, so the doctor had given her some hard meds that would take the pain away and allow her to get some much needed rest.
“I love you Ava,” I said kissing her on the cheek before I left out the room to call Kalie and get me a bite to eat.
When I came back to the room, I didn't see Ava and assumed she went down to see the baby, but when I walked to the nursery I saw Junior, but I didn't see Ava. I walked back to the room and I still didn't see her. I even looked in the bathroom, even though the door was wide open.
Walking out to the nurse’s station I ran into Ava's nurse.
“Where is Ava?” I asked her.
“She was just in her room, did you check the nursery?”
“Yeah, I checked the nursery, she wasn't there.”
“Well Mr. Thomas, I don't know where else she could be.”
“No, that's not a good answer for me. She was here when I left and now she’s gone and none of y'all know where the fuck she is?”
“Mr. Thomas, we need you to calm down.”
“Calm down? Y'all losing patients and shit and I need to calm down? Find Ava, that's what the fuck y'all should be doing.”
I could see security approaching, but I didn't give a fuck. How does a person come up missing in a damn hospital with all these fucking people?
“Y'all need to be calling security to find my fucking wife.”
“I understand you are upset, but we are going to have to ask you to leave if you don't calm down sir.”
“Oh I ain't going nowhere because I ain't leaving my son here with y'all niggas for him to come up missing as well. Believe that. I want Ava back in this room in the next ten minutes or so help y'all it ain't going to be pretty.”
With that I walked away and tried to look for Ava myself. When I left the room she was knocked out and now she is mysteriously gone.
Chapter 27
Ava
I opened my eyes expecting to see Ayce and my son, but all I was greeted with was darkness.
“What the fuck,” I said as I tried to sit up, realizing I was being held down by something. It seemed like the more I struggled, the tighter it got.
“Calm down baby, everything is going to be ok.”
I recognized the voice, but didn't understand why it was his voice I was hearing instead of Ayce's.
“Where am I and why am I tied to the damn bed?”
“You are somewhere safe and you are tied to the bed because I want to talk to you before I untie you.”
“Talk about what? There is nothing to talk about. And turn on the fucking lights so I can see you. I already know who you are,” I said growing impatient.
He flicked on the light before he walked over to me with a smile on his face, and all I wanted to do is fuck his ass up.
“Now untie me.”
“So you can go gangsta boo on me? No, not yet.”
“What the fuck do you want?”
“You already know the answer to that question.”
“So you so fucking thirsty to have something that's not yours, that you kidnap me from the hospital after I have just given birth to my son? Only a pussy ass nigga would do something like that.”
The way he looked at me I knew that I hurt his ego, but I could care less at this point.
“See, now the old me would have fucked you up for saying some slick shit out your mouth like that, but I'm not that nigga no more. I just want to build something with someone who wants the same thing out of life that I do.”
“What I want out of life is to raise my son with the man that I love. Fucking around with you was a mistake.”
“No, what you want is to run these streets, it's what you have always wanted. You may have tried to be settled around Ayce, but we both know that's not the real you. Now, what I'm about to tell you, you may not like but you have to know… Duce is dead.”

Coming 10/28!
Vixen Williams has always been known as a woman of many faces. The fiercely devoted one she uses for her best friend, the one of a lover and confidant to her fiancé, and the real one she keeps reserved for looking in the mirror and battling her inner demons. Life is fairly normal for Vixen until her verbally abusive mother reenters her life, dredging up traumatic childhood memories, and bringing a handsome stranger into the mix with her devious antics causing Vixen to reprise her role as caregiver and bread winner.
Gino Romano is infamous for many reasons: his notoriety for being one of the youngest king pins in New York City, the cold manner in which he handles business, and the notable political ties he's managed to create along the way through "profit sharing." However, the most prominent thing he's known for is the ice fortress he's built around his heart. Because of his past, Gino keeps women at an arms length, believing it hard to find one who could accept the scarred past he comes with. Until he lays eyes on Vixen.
Brought together for all the wrong reasons, Vixen and Gino find a common ground that not only develops into a budding friendship, but sparks a love affair. From the moment they become one they must fight to protect their love from those who plan to destroy it by any means necessary, one of which being the very reason Vixen ran away from home ten years ago in the dead of night.
Will the forces determined to see Gino and Vixen destroyed win? Or will their love prevail?
Set in a spicy Brooklyn backdrop, A Brooklyn Love Affair brings to life pain, forgiveness, and the never ending possibility of finding love.
