Hearing Victoria’s voice on the other side of the door, Alek opened it only to be held at gunpoint by her. Closing the door a little harder than necessary, he barely gave the gun a second glance before locking eyes with her. “Is this some kind of fucking game to you?” he asked, the irritation clear in his tone. He took a few steps towards her, but didn’t follow her into the kitchen. “All I’m asking for is a conversation about our kid, to talk about our plan. But if this is all some joke to you or payback and if you have no intention of involving me at all, then just say so, Victoria.”

[plainjane-valerie]

Walking back out of the kitchen Victoria stopped enough to give herself space to sucker punch him but still be out of reach. "Mr. Voznesensky do not insult me. If I say I'm going to do something, I am going to do it. Naturally I would like to keep far away from your family. But this baby is part yours and since I have decided to involve you by informing you of its existence you need to get over yourself it's nothing personal...." going back into the kitchen, Victoria dished out her plate and garnished it to look appetizing. Taking a photo of it she waited for the picture to come out so she can attatch It to the book she had opened with a recipe written down. Looking up at Alek she rolled her eyes at him. He was being childish " i could have but I didnt so if you did not appreciate the steps I will go to protect this child we will have a problem. I had to make sure you werent being followed as I cannot chance having another home visit from your sister. Or God forbid your father this time. Now reign in the attitude or otherwise this will be a rather hostile dinner. Bolognese?"

After making three different detours, Alek finally arrived at an apartment complex. And still, no sign of Victoria. He was close to giving up, almost certain that at this point if she was still a no show, then she was clearly messing with him. Maybe she had no intentions of talking to him at all and she just said what she needed to say so that he’d let her go. Still, like hell he wasn’t going to put up a fight for his kid. For their kid. Knocking on the door, he waited and could only hope that on the other side, it was Victoria.

[plainjane-valerie]

Stirring the pot for her Bolognese sauce, a knock on the door had Victoria turning down the heat on the stove grabbing her gun and tip toeing towards the door. When there was a second round of knocking. Victoria aimed the gun at the door as she said "it's always open." A lie nonetheless but she was cocked and ready to fire a round in someones face. Only when the door open to reveal Alek did she lower the gun just the slightest. "Close the door quickly, did anyone follow you"

"Pardon the mess, I wasnt expecting you to make.it this far" Victoria said leading Alek.to the kitchen with the only mess being a knife and the cutting board in the sink.

[alek-ofnyc]

“Maybe it’s a concern for regular people, but we’re not regular people, Victoria. You’re forgetting that we run the syndicate. You’re on the Council now. What was the point of all of that if you’re just going to up and leave? What are you so worried about?” he asked, his tone unintentionally rising more and more out of frustration. It was only when she brought up his family that his expression softened. “You’re not sharing custody with my family, you’re sharing it with me. There’s a difference. I know you’re scared and worried after everything that’s happened to you and I’m sorry I wasn’t on your side then. But you have me now. I can’t protect you and the baby if you leave.” Growing frustrated again, Alek stood up as Victoria moved to leave. “Victoria! We need to talk about this!” He opened his mouth to reply, but what was he supposed to say? She was genuinely afraid of his family. But that didn’t include him… did it?

Giving Victoria a puzzling look as she began hiding behind him, Alek looked out the window of his office to see Zo and Nova walking into Vox. Nodding his head, he took ahold of her hand, leading her out of his office. “There’s a fire escape that leads to the back alleyway,” he instructed, unlocking one of the offices. Before letting Victoria go, he asked, “Look, can we talk about this later? You can come over, or we can meet somewhere. I want to be a part of this, okay? I want to protect you and the baby as much as you do, trust me.”

[plainjane-valerie]

"Talk about what Alek? If it came down to me or them youd choose them. And if you think your going to have my baby around them I'll bring your ass to court for full custody". She said in response to him before trying to leave however on the other side of the door was two people she did not want to run into ironic enough considering she was in their territory. After managing to get alek to show her an alternative exit. It seemed he had more to say before letting her go. Glancing behind alek and back at the door. Maybe telling him was a mistake. Victoria could already feel a migraine coming on just from thinking about talking about it later. But knowing if she didnt agree someone was going to tip them off and she was unfortunately going to run into one of them if she didnt leave. "Okay okay! We will talk about this later." She told him lying through her teeth. But as she tried to leave she realized he was still holding on to her. "I promise Volkswagen. at the pier tonight at 7. Wait for further instructions". Yanking her hands out of his hold. Victoria strutted away as quickly as possible. Trying to look like she wasnt running away but was walking somewhere with purpose.

Bless the moon that Dimitri would be gone for a bit. It bought her time to do other things. “Is he taking your sister with him?” She inquired. Seeing Alek smile at her nickname and him addressing her as V, she felt that they would be alright however her next words didnt seem to sit well with Alek. “When have I not think something through? We are in this together, and you’ll have visitation rights once baby and I move- dont give me that look Alek. You cant possibly think I would raise a child here?”

Shooting her an amused look, he answered her question with a question. “Do you think Zo will miss an opportunity to sit in on the next meeting?” Feeling relieved, Alek’s smiled widened when Victoria agreed that they would be in this together. But just as quickly, his smile fell upon hearing her next words. “Visitation rights? No, if you’re keeping the baby, then I want shared custody,” he argued. “What’s wrong with New York? I was raised here, our families are here. Hell, our lives are here.” He couldn’t see any place that could be better for raising their child. “This is you being rash, making all these decisions like I don’t have an opinion on any of this.”

[plainjane-valerie]

"What's wrong with New York? Are you serious? Let's see. Major crime syndicate play ground, and all the things that has happened to me. I didnt have a weakness then but now?" Resting a hand on stomach again as to show him her new soft spot. Victoria ranted trying to keep her tone neutral but firm, even if she wanted to yell and throttle him for even thinking New York was an option. Hes lucky she told him instead of keeping it hush till the very end. "Also you want shared custody? With your family? I forgave you Alek. But I still havent forgotten what happened. Held hostage by your sister? I was sure I was going to die that night and I made peace with it. I'm not subjecting the baby to them. I think this is the best course of actions to keep the baby safe. We can negotiate other terms but where the child will NOT be raised is none negotiable. If you'll excuse me I need to go." Victoria got up and walked over to the door. Before she left through the door she turned to look at Alek "You have to understand that your family scares me." Turning around she made spotted nova and zo the 2 out of 3 people she did not want to see. Quickly she locked the door and back track till she was hiding behind Alek. "Is there a secondary exit?"

[alek-ofnyc]

plainjane-victoria‌:

Once again. Alek manage to surprise her. She tried to get back to business but he was more concerned ed about her and the bunch of cells growing inside her. “I’ll be okay once this contract is done. I cant purposely antagonize your father anymore out of retribution for sending the seducer and the psychopath my way” she answered truthfully. After Alek tipped her off to not sign with the voz, shes been purposely being rather picky and taking her time when it came to the Voz. That or she was distracted with playing Russian roulette wink wink with Alek. But now that things have changed she had to be much more careful with her moves. Not only with the Voz but the council as well.

Alek took hold of her hands and Victoria looked at their hands before looking at him. “Define rash, Volkswagen” she said calling him by the nickname she hasnt used for months.

Alek couldn’t help but chuckle at being called a seducer. “You’re not the only one who’s enjoying antagonizing Dimitri Voznesensky,” he smirked, then decided to reveal, “My dad is getting ready for another business trip, so he’ll be out of town for a bit. That’ll buy you some more time.” And buy himself some more time as well. Truth be told, he had his own contract drawn up a couple of months ago to bring to Victoria, but he had decided to hold back on it. It had been done as a form of apology to her after everything that went down, but it could also have severe consequences to his own future. Yet now with the pregnancy, he began to reconsider the contract. Smiling at his nickname, he replied, “Not thinking something through. Making a decision on this without talking to me about it. We’re in this together, right V?”

[plainjane-valerie]

Bless the moon that Dimitri would be gone for a bit. It bought her time to do other things. "Is he taking your sister with him?" She inquired. Seeing Alek smile at her nickname and him addressing her as V, she felt that they would be alright however her next words didnt seem to sit well with Alek. "When have I not think something through? We are in this together, and you'll have visitation rights once baby and I move- dont give me that look Alek. You cant possibly think I would raise a child here?"

[fallon-ofnyc]

plainjane-victoria‌:

Wow. Victoria thought to herself at Alek response. Sure enough her reveal wasn’t as grand but she did expect something more than a congratulations. “Its a I’ll deal with it unexpectedly”. Sitting up straight, she crossed her legs and placed her folded hands on her lap. “I felt that you had the right to know, that is all. Pregnancy aside as it is not the only reason I am here. Did you draft up a new contract yet?”. She knew Dimitri was getting restless and if they delayed it any further he would send Zo. Just the thought alone cause Victoria to shiver as she placed a hand on her stomach.

Deal with it? What did she mean by that? Alek knew that Victoria was always careful what she said and that was how her next sentence was a dead giveaway that he was the father. Then just as quickly as she’d dropped the news on him, before he had a chance to fully digest everything, she had moved on to a different topic. “I will let you know when the contract is ready. Don’t worry about that right now. How are you feeling? Are you okay?” he asked, going back to the important topic at hand. The contract was not high on his priority list, despite how impatient his dad was being about the whole situation. But you didn’t get to be the underboss if you didn’t know how to handle the big boss. That was the difference between Alek and Zo, who was always so quick to do whatever it took to please their father. Reaching for Victoria’s hand, he said, “I want this to be a ‘we’ll deal with it together’ unexpectedly. And I hope you won’t make any rash decisions just because I’m the father…”

Victoria couldnt help but agree. She knew she wasnt the Voznesensky fan when she still hasnt signed an agreement with them. Hell she wasnt a fan of them herself. They were a bunch of ruffians who were ruthless and sly. She had dodge a bullet when her sister nova shot her down from joining. But it wasnt about them, this was about her and Alek. “I wouldn’t say urgent…. how have you been?” Victoria asked him as she took a seat beside him. When he asked about her she said it as if it was a day to day response “you know… unexpectedly pregnant”

Raising an eyebrow at her response, Alek wondered why she had shown up at Vox so unexpectedly if it wasn’t for something urgent. A businesswoman like Victoria would at least have the courtesy to call ahead if she wanted to discuss business. She definitely did not come here just to see how he was doing. Still, he replied, “You know, the usual. Dad’s getting ready for another trip out of town, so that’ll be a nice break. How about you?” And that was when the bomb dropped. He stared at her blankly, unsure of what to say and also waiting to see if she was going to add more to what she’d say. But when it was clear that that was it, Alek cleared his throat and regained his composure. “Uh… Congratulations,” he responded hesitantly. “Is this… a good unexpected or bad…?” He wanted to ask if he was the father, but he also couldn’t help but think, why else would Victoria show up here like this if he wasn’t?

And there he was in all his beautiful glory. Handsome bugger he was but she was here on a mission and despite seeing him in his territory she was here to deliver news to him. “I would love a drink but as you can see I’m not very much welcome here to do so.”

Making her way over to him she asked if there was somewhere they could talk more privately. “I have some information you would like to hear”

“Nonsense. A member of the Council is always welcome to have a drink here,” Alek replied. “We were just… surprised by your unannounced visit, I’m sure,” he added, shooting a side glance at the bouncer. Eyeing Victoria as she approached him, it didn’t take much for him to agree to talk privately. The last thing he needed was his father or worse, Zo, walking into Vox and seeing Victoria here. He knew for a fact that they would have a less than welcoming reaction to seeing the woman here unannounced. “Sure, we can talk in my office,” he replied, nodding his head towards the stairs. Leading the way, he closed the door once they were inside. Gesturing towards the couch, he took a seat and waited for her to do the same. “You’re lucky that Dimitri and Zo aren’t here. What was so urgent?” he asked.

@ vox

Victoria left the doctor office looking cool and uncomplicated. She paid Dr. D to keep what they found out off the records, as it was knowledge not even she wanted to acknowledge. Sliding into the back seat of her car she told the driver to head to Voznesensky HQ. The quicker she did this the quicker she could plan what to do next.

Arriving in a timely fashion. Victoria had made her way to the front of the pub only to be stopped by what looked to be security. “Were closed” he said not moving from his stance as he blocked her way. “Excellent. I’m here to see your little boss. Move” she responded. But when he didnt and a few more words were exchanged. As the bouncer reached to physically move her, he found himself being kicked in the chest by two legs (her security details) and was flying through the door.

“Evening gentleman. Pardon my intrusion but Where can I find Alekander Voznesensky?” She asked stepping over the man who stopped her from entering the establishment in the firest place. He should of been nice when she asked him.

@alek-ofnyc

“Alek, that Mendoza bitch is here asking for you. Should I kick her out?” Looking up from his desk, Alek was about to remind the soldier that he was not to be disturbed when he heard the word ‘Mendoza’. “That’s not necessary,” he replied simply, getting up from his seat. As he made his way downstairs to the bar, he wondered why Victoria was here. He knew if she wanted to see him for… personal reasons, they would have arranged to meet elsewhere. For her to quite literally barge into Voznesensky territory, the only reason he could think of was for business. Approaching the scene by the front entrance of Vox, Alek cocked an eyebrow at Victoria, giving her a questioning look. “Ms. Mendoza, if you wanted to have a day drink at Vox, all you had to do was ask,” he said casually, shooting a look at the Voz soldiers to return to their posts.

Knew him since freshman year in highschool. Would trust him with my life just not with an amateur doctor.

Is this your way to get me taking care of Ms. Dean? I’m joking I dont think you will do that to me… the Voznesensky however… anyways do you happen to have his business card?

so you two must go way back… is that how you see me? if that were the case, i would’ve referred you to the voznesensky’s family doctor. i don’t, but i can text you his information. if you want to go by his office today, i can make a call.

Paranoid or careful. I should but never needed one. A friend recommended a Ms. Buchanan. But I rather have someone who actually finished school and residency.
