Two Of A Kind

forty

Tessa's POV

Leo's final match is next week. I'm 12 weeks along and only now is my little bump beginning to form, very very slowly. I'm still attending school, and let me tell you, the reaction on Georgias face when she saw us together.
It was fucking priceless. We're also pretending that Leonardo doesn't exist, and that I gave Leo a second chance at our relationship.

"I'm training with the boys soon," Leo explains while gently caressing my belly. "And then I have another session tomorrow."

Leo has a thing about training after dark, says it 'calms his nerves'.

"Not too much?" I suggest, "You've already trained two days in a row," I explain, looking up at him. He lowers himself slowly, pecking my lips before resting his forehead on mine.
"I'm doing this for us," He says softly, his mint breath brushing over me.

"I want all four of us to live a lavish life," me, him, Amiyah, and our baby. "You deserve it all and more."

Red flushed my cheeks as I caved in, inching on my tip toes to wrap my arms around him.
"This is all I want in life," I explain softly, pecking his lips.

"Tuck Miss Miyahs to bed?" I suggest, releasing my hands from his neck and falling to my normal height.
"Always," he snakes an arm around my waist, guiding us up the stairs and into Miyahs room.

There she is, drawing as always. On her little cream table, with an off-white chair.
"Bella," He announces, watching Miyah whip her head towards us. A smile creeps to her face, "I have something to show you."

Leo and I walked over to her table, as she swiped a paper off her desk and showed us.
It was a very messy drawing of a family, well at least I hope it is. I can't quite tell.

"Leo, Tessy, baby, and me," she names everyone, pointing to each according stick figure.
Leo's focused expression slowly changed into a genuine smile.

He opened his arms for Miyah, and it took 0.1 seconds for her to run in. I watched as he kissed her head, running his hands through her hair.
"I love it bella," he assures, "Ti voglio bene" (I love you in Italian)

A few days ago, Miyah told Leo that she loved him. And for a second, I thought he wasn't going to handle it well. He stood in shock for a while, trying to comprehend the 3 words that came out of her mouth.
I could've sworn I saw a frown slowly form on her face, watching Leo not say it back.

But time was all it took for him to pick her up and spin her around in circles. Watching her genuinely laugh was one of the best moments I've experienced.

"Ti voglio bene," She muffled from his chest, before pulling back. Watching as they smiled at each other slightly.

Yes, Leo has also been teaching her some Italian.

She then came over to me, wrapping her little arms around me.
"We're always here for you baby," I assure her, rubbing her back comfortingly, feeling her ease up.

Not long after, she jumped into bed as Leo tucked her in.
"Buona Notte bella," He pecks her forehead lightly. She let out a cute yawn, mumbling a few words.
"Buona Notte papá."

I froze, and I could see Leo tense. He stares at her, not being able to form any words.
She called him dad.

How is he going to react? Would he hate it? Would he only want our children calling him that?

Next thing I knew, Leo walked out of the room. I don't blame him, he's not a parent yet.

"You okay?" I follow close behind him as he walks into his room, plopping himself on the bed. "How am I supposed to react?" He asks me, his eyes soft and his voice light.

I sat myself beside him, stretching my legs out as he rests his head on my lap. Running my hands through his hair, I watch as his breathing turns more steady.

"Well," I start, "how does it make you feel?"
"Fucking amazing,"
My eyes widened as I looked down at him. "Really?" I ask, watching his deep green eyes lock with my hazel ones.

"Truly," He told me, "I love that girl, and if she wants to call me papá then so be it," he explains.

I couldn't help but smile as I continued running my hands through his hair, visibly calming his nerves.
"Hey, I gotta go train now," He slowly lifts himself from my lap.

"Adrian said Bri's coming over," He furthered, sitting himself on the edge of his bed as he slips his shoes on.

"I'll bring back food, okay amore?" My lips curled into a smile. Foooood.
"Be safe," I crawled on all fours, reaching behind his back as I rested my head in the crook of his neck.

Pecking his sweet spot, he let out a low groan. "I love you," Pecking the same spot once more. "I love you too amore, now stop." His voice ended more stern.

He turned slightly so we were facing each other, "Stop before I can't resist any longer," he lays a finger under my jaw as he lifts my face up, pecking my lips.

I couldn't help but blush at his comment, watching him walk out of the door and into Aria's room, to say good bye.

For the past few nights, I've been crashing in Leo's room. Aria only lets because I'm pregnant, but she doesn't want a second grandchild just yet.

I walk out of his room and into mine, grabbing my laptop and Penelope Douglas' 'Hideaway'.

I have some homework to finish off tonight, as well as an assignment due in four days.
I have nothing else to do so why not hand in my assignment early? Im 3/4 done with it anyways.

After 45 minutes, I've finished my assignment and my homework. I look at the book that's been sitting at the side table, a small smile curling at my lips.

Grabbing the book, I flip open to where I left off, page 118.
I'm already lost in the book, until my phone starts ringing. Checking my phone, I see the name Leo before I pick up the phone.

Leo - Bold
Tessa - Italic

"Done already?"
"Amore don't open the door."
"Why? What's happening?"
"I love you baby, please. Don't open the door."
"Leo what's wro--"
"Promise me,"
"Leo--"
"Please!"
"I promise."
"No matter how many times you hear a knock, don't open it."
"I wont, I wont. But what's happening?"
"I'll explain when I get home. I use a key so I won't have to knock."
"Okay, be safe please."
"Always amore."

End call

What the fuck is happening? I rush out of the room and bolt downstairs, to the front door. Making sure it's locked, I walk around the house and shut every possible window.

Leo's worried voice has me scared as shit to say the least. He only tells me things if it's out of his control. And he can get almost everything under control.

Suddenly, two knocks are placed at the front door. And I feel like I can't breathe.
