Tony's POV

What is that asshole doing here...I pull Ronnie to me, shielding her and Zeke away from the man that hurt her more than anything. The man in front of me, Jack, he studies me. Almost like he's trying to see into my mind. He smirks at Ronnie and she shies behind me. I sneer at the worthless man in front of me. His eyes take a break from me and go to Zeke. He stares at him in awe making me hate him even more. How dare he even be allowed to look at Zeke after what he's put Ronnie through.

"So are we just going to stand here or are you gonna let me at least see my son?" He says in an authoritative tone. I feel Ronnie press Zeke into my back, shielding him away from Jack.

"Why Jack, why come here? We were supposed to meet at the park, you didn't even show up!" She screams at him. I hear the door open and shut along with Mike's voice echoing throughout the house. "Ronnie!"

There foot steps echo until they come up behind us. I hear her mom gasp. I don't take my eyes off of him to find out how Mike reacts.

"Jack you need to leave," Ronnie says in a strong voice. Steps out from behind me and hands me Zeke. I take the small sleeping boy in my arms, unaware of the chaos around me.

"Wait this is Jack!" Mike yells and tries to storm towards the man thats harmed his little girl. Before he can inflict any damage Ronnie stops him. I step forward and pull Mike back, knowing this is something Ronnie has to do alone.

"What? You got yourself a boyfriend so now I'm not allowed to see my son? News flash Ronnie, Zeke is mine. My blood runs through his veins, no other mans!" He yells in her face, all she does is scoff. It takes everything in me to not jump at him. The little boy in my arms is the only thing stopping me.

"I have never let any guy replace you in our son's life. I never planned on it. You were the one who didn't show up this week!" She shouts at him. I've never seen Ronnie mad. In all honesty it's kinda hot.

"I had things I needed to take care of, so you two would be safe!" He yells at her, I feel Mike tense. "You know better than anyone the bad things I was involved with. I may have done horrible things to you Ronnie but I do love you and I love our son. I'm not going to allow anyone to hurt you two. Even if you do have another man trying to play house with our son."

"Firstly, don't you ever say that to me again. You do not have the right to tell me you love me after what you did to me. Secondly what the hell did you do to put my son in danger!" She yells in his face. I see her small frame shaking.

"You remember the Randle's right?"

"What about the damn Randle's, Jack!"

"I owed them a lot of money, they said if I don't pay up they'll come for you and Zeke until I pay them back. I'm trying to protect you!"

"No Jack! Get out of my house and stay away from my son. I'm calling the judge in the morning to set up a strict visitation schedule. Until then stay away from us and keep your gang business away!"

He sighs and holds his eyes, "Ronnie can't you see I'm trying to protect you. I'm trying to set things right."

"You need to leave Jack, I don't want to hear from you again until the judge gives me a paper stating I have too." She goes the door and opens it, I don't know how she can be this strong. I hand Zeke to Mike and walk up to Jack.

"It's time for you to leave," I step in front of him and glare. He sneers and walks to the door. Stopping in front of Ronnie almost like a wounded dog.

"Please don't do this Ron," he pleads with her.

"Get out!" She shouts at him as soon as he steps out of the house she slams the door. Placing her back against the door she lets out an exhausted sigh into her hands. My poor girl. She doesn't deserve this. She looks up and see Mike holding Zeke.

"Here, give me my baby," she says walking over to Mike. Mike hands her Zeke and you see her tension ease. She's an amazing mother. She stares down at Zeke, watching him sleep. "I'm taking him to bed."

As she walks upstairs I turn to Mike. Bianca is leaning on the island with tears streaming down her face. I can't imagine how she's feeling right now. Knowing that her child is in danger. It must be an awful feeling. Mike walks over and wraps her in his arms. He looks to me and I instantly know what he wants. I turn and walk upstairs, going to Ronnie.

Looking into Zekes room I see her standing beside his crib. She watches him, as if she's counting his every breath. It horrible seeing her like this, seeing her afraid. I close the door behind me. Seeing her flinch at the sound breaks my heart. I walk behind her and pull her into my arms.

"Its not fair Tony, he's just a baby. He shouldn't be wanted by a drug dealer. He should be wanted because of how cute he is not because his father owes a big drug dealer money." She cried quietly into me. I squeeze her tight and pull her into her room. I set her on her bed and crouch in front of her on my knees.

"Ron I don't know whats going on. All I know is that no matter what I have to do, I will protect you and that baby sleeping in the next room with my life. You're not alone, you have me and your Mom and Vic and Jaime and even your Dad. You have us!" I say taking her face in my hands. She looks at me with tears in her eyes and kisses me. A million tiny butterflies flutter through my stomach, man I'm such a girl. I savor every second of that kiss. Just to remember the feel of her lips against mine. Its over all to soon. She smiles at me a little and I lose my breath.

"Stay with me," thats all I needed to hear.
