Sebastian's POV:

Anastasia is now 37 weeks pregnant with our little girl and now that the due date is rapidly approaching, I'm getting more and more excited to become a dad. In the beginning I was terrified that I would turn out like my father but I'm not him. I won't do what he did to me, to our child. I can't let it get to that. Somehow, I'm going to get out of the mafia. I can't afford to put my girls in any more danger. It petrifies me.

I've already started to prepare for the arrival of our daughter because it can happen whenever, and you can never be too careful. I've bought a new car, a car that we can use for our growing family. The Audi Q5. It's got enough seats for at least two more kids if we want to expand. I really hope Anastasia does because nothing would make me happier than having a big family with the love of my life.

Today, we're going shopping for everything we need for our baby girl. We have the major things like the crib and pram but we need clothes and stuff for my girl when she's in the hospital. We're making a hospital bag.

I've thrown on some casual clothes, contrasting from my normal business attire because I'm not working. I've opted for a black v neck tshirt with pants and my usual gold watch.

I couldn't believe my eyes when Anastasia stepped out of the closet dressed in a long black spaghetti strap dress that fit her large bump perfectly. She looked beautiful. She always looks beautiful but she was glowing.

"Gorgeous as ever, baby girl" I said, kissing her on the forehead.

"Pretty handsome yourself, love" she replied, grabbing her purse and looping her arm around my own.

I guided her to the garage so she could see our new car. It had a big red bow on it so it's hard to miss.

"Shut the fuck up" she stopped dead in her tracks. "Sebastian! You didn't." She gasped, walking up to the car.

"Do you like it?"

"What the fuck. I love it!" She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down for a kiss.

"It's for our little family" I smiled, my hand resting on her belly. "Now, let's go. You're driving, angel."

Eagerly, she hopped into the front seat and we started our journey to the store. First stop- the baby store.

We collected arms full of adorable outfits, ranging from size newborn to three months because people keep telling me that she'll grow so quickly! We also grabbed blankets, crib sheets, baby bottles, dummies, a car seat and everything else you could possibly need.

"I think we've got enough stuff now, princess" I chuckled, looking at everything we bought and placing it into the boot of the car.

"Thank you for this" she said. We shared a kiss before going to our next destination.

The shopping day is not over, we still need to buy things for Anastasia's hospital bag. I'm also going to buy her some more clothes for after her delivery so she can be comfortable and breastfeed easily. I may not know how to be a good dad yet, but I'm trying. I'm going to do whatever my girls need.

Throwing more bags into the boot, we both slumped into the car seats in exhaustion. Who knew shopping could be so tiring?

"McDonald's?" I questioned, looking over at her.

"You know the way to my heart" Anastasia giggled, grabbing my hand and kissing it softly.

We collected the food and ate it quickly because we were both starving. But I only got to eat half of my burger because Anastasia was staring at me.

"Can I please have the rest of your burger?" She looked at me through her eyelashes.

"Of course" I said nodding, "anything for you sweetheart."

Even when she steals my food, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

After we ate, we finally pulled into the driveway and saw Taylor there waiting for us.

"I'll help you with your bags Mr De Luca and Miss Hill" Taylor nodded and went to open the boot.

"Thanks Taylor" we smiled and he returned it happily.

The bags just kept coming. I swear we bought the whole shop with how much we had. I didn't care though, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Now that everything was inside and sprawled through the nursery and our bedroom, we got to work.

We hung up and folded our baby girls clothes, made her crib, put up her decorations and made sure that we had plenty of nappies and baby wipes because we were going to need them.

Everything was ready except for the hospital bag. I could tell Anastasia was nervous and excited but there was no doubt in my mind that she would be the best mum ever. She reminds me of my own mother with her kindness and selflessness. I miss my mum everyday but I'm sure she would've loved Ana as much as me. I love her with my whole heart.

"Annnnnd done!" Anastasia smiled as she placed the last item in her hospital bag.

"All set, baby?" I joined her on the bed.

"Yep, we're prepared for you, our sweet baby girl. mummy and daddy are so excited to meet you" she said gently to her belly.

We were ready. Ready to take on any challenges that come our way. Together.
