The Mafia Boss's Obsession

CHAPTER 29: I Know He Means Well, BUT.....

LIZETTE

Okay, I was honestly HOPING he would react in a way like he did after me telling him last night, but never did I expect him to ever actually react in that sort of a way to the news. I'm not complaining. In fact, I found it to be cute and sweet.

When I woke up this morning, I did not expect Jameson to be reacting the way that he was. He made me breakfast (which was a nice gesture) but that wasn't what tipped me off as to how his behavior has changed. The thing that got me noticing a change in his demeanor was the fact that he seemed to have been ordering things for the baby already online.

I caught him purchasing things using his phone while we were watching TV. Then throughout the entire day, he wouldn't let me lift things such as a plate even, all while educating me about how many pounds I am aloud to pick up while pregnant and a few other facts about pregnancy.

Again, as much as I appreciate all of this genuine interest in becoming a father, I needed for him to calm down a bit. So I finally decided to say something after pausing the show we were watching.

"Jameson, I am more than thrilled to see your reaction to this baby news, but there are things I can still do and lift even and not to mention that we don't know the sex yet." I look at him lovingly.

"I know but, I couldn't help it. I was online early this morning and thought about a crib and stroller and then I guess I got a little crazy." He chuckles a little at himself.

I look into his eyes and lean in to kiss him, reassuring him that I love him and appreciate all that he has done so far.

"Thank you for getting all that stuff. And there's nothing wrong with you doing that. But some of those things I would like to be a part of also." I smile.

"Of course." He laughs again at himself.

We give each other a kiss and continue to watch our show cuddled up with one another.

Throughout the next few days, he has been continuing his excitement about being a father and the feeling was infectious. Everybody in the house other than the both of us were happy and excited about having a baby in the house.

Then reality hit us all the moment Jameson's phone went off and saw it was Maloney. Of course HE would ruin a moment like this. Although, on the other hand, it was good to remember about having to deal with him before we celebrated 'too early.'

In the back of all our minds we all had wondered when he would return back into the picture again, seeing as to how we were sure he already had found out about losing Guilliano and him returning his business with Jameson and I.

I began wondering too, what he would be more upset about, the fact that he lost Guilliano (the biggest client he will EVER have), or and the fact that he lost him to me. I'm more more than certain he was informed about the money I had used to get Guilliano back and to be honest, I don't really care if he's upset and knows about everything now.

If he decides that he wants to fight, then so be it, I'm ready!

Once Jameson got off the phone, he looked at me upsettingly before telling us what all was said between him and Maloney and started going over a plan.

We all were going to take some part in this meeting up with Maloney and his men soon....at least that's what I had THOUGHT was going to happen. Instead, he  told me that I needed to stay here.

"Oh hell no! I am just as part of this as you are! I'm going to see this through!" I tell him frimly.

"Yeah, from here though. There is no way you are going to risk both yours and the baby's life." He states.

"But don't you think it's possible he might....." I began to tell him something but he stopped me.

"I said no and that's final! There is no discussing this!" He says with finality.

I'm not exactly sure why but I couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed he talked to me like I was a child myself, just now.

To say that I was 'upset' would be an understatement. I understand he is trying to look out for both me and the baby but at the same time, I hate that he is telling me what to do without giving me any room to try and negotiate in between here, about how good it would be with me there helping them out.

Not to mention the fact that even if I stayed here, he could easily have his men come and try to get me while using the meeting up with him as a distraction. Therefore, either way I wouldn't technically be 'safe' so why not be with him?!?

Finally, I just blurted out what I was thinking and he tried reassuring me that he would leave several of his men with me and Ashleigh if I remained here with her.

I feel like I'm suddenly under some kind of a house arrest, despite seeing his point of view and where he is coming from. But he needs to realize that it wouldn't be good neither for me or the baby to be worried while I waited for him to come home - IF he would come home.

When all was said and done, he ended up winning the argument.......for now at least.
