Marco

Chapter Sixteen

Amara pov

We arrive at the park. Very creative Stefano. Marco squeals excitedly.

"Are you excited baby!" I ask him.

He nods his head and I smile before getting out. I let him out of his seat and balance him on my hip.

"Mawa, pway!" he yells.

He wiggles in my hold so I put him on the ground.

He immediately starts running to the swings. I run after him while Stefano gets something from the car.

Marco tries getting on a swing, but it's too high for him. I pick him up and gently set him on the swing.

"Hold tightly okay?" I say.

He nods his head. I lightly push him.

"Yayyy!"

After a few minutes he jumps off the swing. He runs to where his dad is sitting on a blanket. He has snacks laid out, smart.

I walk to them and sit down. Stefano pulls me closer to him so my head is on his shoulder.

"Papà, Mawa hungy" Marco says.

"Really now, how do you know that buddy?" Stefano asks with a playful smile.

"Mawa tummy make, grrr" he replies.

Stefano throws his head back in laughter. I giggle lightly and hide my face. Marco just shrugs and eats some chips.

"Let's feed Mara then, buddy" Stefano says.

He gives me a toasted sandwich and I thank him. We all eat while chatting, mostly Marco saying weird things.

I keep feeling like we're being watched but everytime I look around, I see no one watching us. I must be going crazy.

Stefano lightly kisses my cheek making me look at him. He looks at me with worry in his eyes. I shake my head and move closer to him.

"Mawa and Papà get mawwied! Then we family like them!" Marco suddenly says and points at a family eating ice-cream.

Stefano chuckles before he lifts Marco up and places him on his lap. He kisses Marco's head making him smile.

"We're already a family bud, isn't that right Amara?" Stefano says, looking at me.

"Yes we are" I say with a smile.

Stefano leans in and gently pecks my lips, making fireworks erupt in my stomach. Marco jumps into my lap and rests his head in my neck. He softly asks me something and I widen my eyes before looking at Stefano.

"I would love that jellybean but you have to ask your dad, okay?" I tell him.

Stefano looks at me questionably.

"Papà? Mawa my mamma. Mawco say mamma to Mawa."Marco says.

Stefano looks shocked before his eyes shift to mine. I give him a small smile and he smiles back.

"Okay buddy, Amara is your mamma" he says.

Marco mumbles something before I feel his breathing even. I slightly move my head and kiss his cheek.

"He's asleep" I say softly.

"Marco really loves you Pinkey, when we're at home, he sometimes cry for you." Stefano says.

"I love this little guy. He means so much to me and I care about him, Stef" I say.

Stefano smiles before he kisses my cheek. I smile back and watch as he starts packing up.
