Hiding With Her Twin Babies
Chapter 23

Andrei and Jennie look at each other and laugh as Carl runs out of the office. Jennie and her brother talk for a few more minutes before Andrei gets up to leave.

“I invited mom, dad and you to come to dinner with Dante, the children and me tonight. Are you bringing a date?” Jennie asks.

“It depends. I always liked Mabel, but lately, I saw a side of Angelica I liked. So I will ask one of them to come with me,” Andrei says.

“Well, I will invite both of them and aunt Jen and Uncle Logan,” Jennie says with a smile.

“That is a good idea, and I will ask Tristan to join us. I like him. Maybe you should invite Melody and Chase,” Andrei says.

“Yeah, I might as well. Melody and I did not see much of each other even before I disappeared,” Jennie says.

Jennie walks Andrei out, and as they walk out, Dante walks into the building. He sees Jennie greeting her brother, surprised that they talked. But he is glad they did. It is one step closer to getting Jennie to forgive everyone and lift the boulder off her shoulder. Dante wants Jennie to relax and know many people love her. So he walks over to her when Andrei is gone and k****s her. Jennie smiles at Dante.

“Wow, I am getting a lot of visitors today,” Jennie says. She tells Dante what happened between her parents and Andrei. Dante smiles as he knows Carl will never come close to Jennie again. Dante is glad Jennie invited all her family to dinner, and he tells her he will pick up the children and make sure they are ready to go out when she comes home. Dante takes Jennie’s hand and walks with her to his car. It is almost time for lunch, so Dante plans on taking Jennie to a little Italian restaurant nearby. It is very romantic, and the owner immediately knows who the couple is walking into his restaurant. He orders his waiter to make sure they have a very private table. He walks over to them, introduces himself, and personally walks them to the table the waiter just cleared out. Jennie and Dante talk to him for a while, and then he leaves the couple to have lunch.

“I have to go back to LA next month. I can not stay here forever even if I want to,” Dante says.

“Well, we will go with you. I am planning on moving my company there. I have a powerful company that is willing to work with me there, and I want to go bigger,” Jennie says. Dante is very pleased. He did not want to leave Jennie and the children behind.

“I will arrange everything for you, love, the school for the children and an office building for your company, and I have a big house in LA, so we can move in there unless you want another house,” Dante says.

“Wow, thank you. I will appreciate it as I do not know LA that well,” Jennie says, and for the first time, she feels she does not have to fight her battles alone anymore. Finally, she has a partner that cares about her. Dante is pleased that Jennie has not resisted him and tells him he takes over her life again. He smiles happily at Jennie. He takes her hands in his and k****s them.

“I am glad you are letting me help you, love,” Dante says.

“Well, we are life partners, and I want you to be a part of my decisions. We have children together, and I can not be selfish anymore and make decisions based on what I want. I want you to have a say in my life, Dante. You have all the right to have a say in the children and my life,” Jennie says.

“You made me the happiest man in the world today by letting me be part of your life and making decisions for our children,” Dante says. He feels more wanted and loved by her.

“I love you, Dante,” Jennie whispers.

“I love you, Jennie. The children will start their training as soon as we get to LA,” Dante says. Jennie looks at Dante with disbelief in her eyes.

“You want the twins and Jack to train? Like we had to train when we were young?” Jennie asks.

“Of course, they need to be trained to protect themselves and be ready if something happens,” Dante says. Jennie frowns. She does not like this at all. They are still young and her babies.

“I don’t think so. They are still too young. Besides, it should be their choice,” Jennie says, and Dante sighs. Why does Jennie have to be so stubborn?

“Listen, love, you know as well as I do. In our world, children have to train from a young age to protect themselves. We will ask them, but I will tell you they need to get trained as soon as possible. I will not debate this anymore,” Dante says.

“What if they do not want to train or become a part of the world we grew up in?” Jennie asks Dante.

“They are already part of this world, Jennie. Now, stop arguing and let’s enjoy our lunch,” Dante says. Jennie is not happy with Dante but decides to enjoy the afternoon. They can talk tomorrow. Today she just wants peace and to enjoy the day with Dante and tonight with her family and Dante and the children.

“We will talk about it later. When we are in LA,” Jennie says. The waiter arrives to take their orders before Dante can tell Jennie there is nothing to discuss as the children need training, and she can not protect them like the bloody mother hen she is. He looks at Jennie, and his heart warms up again. He can not stay mad at her. Dante knows he loves Jennie too much to let anything come between the two of them. They will work through their problems together. Jennie and Dante enjoy a romantic lunch together before Jennie has to go back to work. She is excited to tell young Jason Morgan that she is moving her company to LA, and soon they will be able to work together. So as soon as she enters her office, she gives Jason a call. He is overjoyed by the prospect of working with Jennie Petrov. He has a story for a game in his head, and he wants her to help him develop it.

Jennie drives home earlier than on an average day as she has to prepare herself for dinner tonight. She has booked the largest private room at Charlie’s Place tonight. Tonight Jennie wants to celebrate her love for Dante and his love for her with their families. Jennie is looking forward to it. The children are all dressed up when she gets home, and Dante looks handsome in his black suit. Jennie goes upstairs to get ready, and when she finishes, she walks downstairs dressed in a stunning red dress. It is not very revealing and pleases Dante, but Jennie still looks sexy and beautiful. Dante can not help falling in love with Jennie every time he sees her. She is the only woman that can make his heart beat faster. Jennie is Dante’s Queen, and in his eyes, he can see nothing wrong with her.

“Let’s go before we are late,” Jennie says, and Dante takes her hand and holds it as they walk to the SUV.

“You look gorgeous,” Dante whispers to Jennie and k****s her.

“Yuck! Mom and Dad, we are in public. Please behave yourselves,” Jayden says.

“Leave mom and dad alone. They look stunning together, and I love that the whole world knows that our mom and dad are together,” Jayda says. Jayda, although small, is a romantic at heart, and she has watched all the Disney films about princesses and princes.

“You just like that stupid romantic stuff you see in those princess movies of yours,” Jayden says. Jack looks at Jayden and Jayda and does not want to pick a side when the twins argue. He likes having peace, and he looks at both of them.

“Mom and dad are in love. They will k**s and hold hands in front of us because they know we are their children and would not mind,” Jack says, trying to keep the peace between the twins as usual.

“You are right. They are not in public yet. We can endure it, I guess,” Jayden says.

“Yes, and they look like a prince and princess out of a storybook,” Jayda says. Jack smiles. He is glad the twins are not fighting anymore. Jack gets anxious around people that fight, and he knows it has to do with the fact that his mother and father fought all the time. He was the one getting hurt in the end, and he could not forget his past so quickly. They all get in the SUV and drive to Charlie’s Place. The waiter takes them to their private room upstairs as they walk in, and Dante feels proud walking next to the most elegant woman in Charlie’s Place. He holds Jennie around her waist. He wants all the men to see she is his woman, and no one is allowed to touch her or come close to her. In one of the dark corners of the restaurant, a young man watches as the couple walk in. There is jealousy and hatred in his eyes. Why does Dante Hudson get everything, and he gets nothing? First, Dante got the family business. Now he has Jennie. Dante has twins and a son he will adopt soon. Dante has the respect and love of his parents. Enzo is not happy at the moment.

“Can I bring you another drink, sir?” The waiter asks.

“No need. I will be joining friends in a private room tonight,” Enzo says. Enzo was not invited to the dinner with the family, but he decided to invite himself. The waiter nods and walks away. Enzo gets up and stumbles a bit. He has been sitting here all day drinking. He leaves the money for his drinks on the table with a tip for the waiter. He walks upstairs and follows Dante and Jennie into a big private room.

“It seems you and Jennie forgot to invite me, brother,” He says as he walks in and takes a seat on the opposite side of the table. Dante looks at his brother, and it is obvious he has too much to drink, so Dante decides not to anger him.

“I thought you were already in LA, Enzo,” Dante says.

“No, I am only flying to LA in a couple of days. I still have some business to finish here,” Enzo says.

“Then you are welcome to join us,” Jennie says, feeling uncomfortable as the brothers stare at each other. Luckily, the rest of the party soon arrives, and things get more pleasant. Everyone is drinking wine and enjoying themselves. The children soon learn that Loraine and Boris are their other grandparents and make friends. Enzo seems to be the only one not enjoying himself. Then a beautiful, pretty blond waitress walks in and grabs Enzo’s attention. She is still young and nervous. Rosemary Taylor is not from a wealthy family, and she only worked at Charlie’s place for a few days. She is nervous as she sees all the famous people she only sees on TV and social media. She takes their orders and walks out. Enzo Hudson has caught her eye, and he is even sexier in real life than on TV. She and another waitress serve the big room, and every time she looks up, she sees Enzo’s eyes on her. Rose, as everyone calls her, blushes as he looks at her again and winks. Enzo likes to flirt with women, and this little waitress will be his before the night is over.

The rest of the night is going well, and Dante and the children enjoy seeing the whole family and spending time with them. Enzo walks out of the room as the last of the guests leaves. He is looking for Rose, but she is nowhere to be found. So he asks the other waiters where the petite blond Rose went, and one of them tells him she had already left as her shift was over. Enzo felt a bit disappointed as he looked forward to a night with her. So he drives off to the farm. He will go to Charlie’s place again tomorrow and see if he can find her again.
