Falling in Love With a Mafia Boss

Ch. 34

So I'm going dress shopping today and I'm both excited yet nervous. Grace, Em, Jake, and Sofia are coming along... yea it's going to be fun. All of them are going to have opinions and I know I'll end up with a headache by the end of the day. All of them insisted we go to Italy to shop so we're walking the streets now. Em mentioned a boutique with dresses so I'm following her lead.

Steve stayed in New York, much to his dislike. Truth is we hate being away from each other for long periods of time. I'm staying here for a week and have been tempted to tell him to come.

"Bella! Let's go." Em drags me into this boutique and I sigh. Honestly, I would've settled for a small wedding on papa's land but no. I have to have a huge one because I'm Italian. His rules, not mine. I'm all for eloping at this point. My stomach rumbles as I catch a whiff of something disgusting.

"Mi scusi? Bagno?" I ask the lady where the bathroom is and she points so I take off running. I just make it to the toilet before throwing up. Shit, what the hell did I eat? I've been throwing up for nearly a week!

"Bella?" I hear Sofia's voice call.

"In here." I groan and flush the toilet. She opens the stall and looks down at me, a worried look on her face.

"Cmon." She helps me up and I go to the sink to rinse my mouth out. "Bella... when was the last time you and Steve had intercourse?" I blush when she asks me.

"I mean... it's a few times a week. Why?" I ask. She puts her hand on my stomach and I give her a confused look. "Sof?"

"Un bambino." Um... what? Did she just say what I think she said?

"But we use..." Shit... shit shit shit. The day he proposed. He didn't use protection that entire night. Nor in the shower. And I forgot to take my pill.

"Breathe. It's ok. Let's get back to the house, we can stop for some tests on the way. Just calm down." I feel a tear fall down my cheek and she pulls me to her. I need Steve.

"I need Steve." I cry.

"And we will get him here. Just take a deep breathe." The bathroom door opens and I pull back from her, seeing my three friends walk in.

"Woah, what's going on?" Jake asks.

"I think I'm pregnant." I whisper.

"Seriously?! That's great!" His smile falls when he sees my dad face. "Or not?" He hugs me and I break.

"I'll call Steve."

———
-Steve's POV-

"Hello?"

'Steve, it's Grace. Uh anyway you could get to Italy soon?' I sit up, now worried.

"What's wrong? Is Bella ok?" I quickly walk out of my office and jump into my car before speeding off.

'Here I'll let you talk to her.' A few seconds pass. 'Steve?' She sniffles.

"What's wrong, baby?" I ask, nearly running a red light. Oh well.

'Um... I think I'm pregnant.' I nearly crash my car.

"What? Seriously?" I ask. I swerve into my driveway and nearly fall out of my car.

'I-I don't know... I'm sorry, I know we wanted to wait... I-'

"Baby, no. No. Don't apologize. This is something we wanted, right? I love you and you love me." I say as I jog up the stairs to my room.

'No I know... I want this, I just wasn't expecting it to be now.' She admits.

"But that's ok. Can I just say, I hope it's a girl?" She laughs and I smile.

'Me too... are you coming?'

"Im packing a bag now. Buck is getting the jet ready. I love you, so much. We're going to be ok, I promise." I say as I shove clothes into my suitcase.

'I love you.' We hang up and I gasp.

"Im gonna be a dad... holy shit. IM GONNA BE A DAD!" I yell. "FUCK YEA!" I fist bump the air. God I hope it's a girl. Even if they aren't, I'm still going to spoil them. Shit we're gonna have to push back the wedding... oh well. I don't care. She's mine and I'm hers so that's all that matters.

Once I pack my back, I job downstairs and meet Buck outside.

"So? What's wrong?" He asks as he drives off.

"She's pregnant..." I huff.

"Seriously? That's great man! I'm happy for you!" He slaps my chest and I chuckle.

"I'm gonna be a dad... and I never thought that this is something I wanted until I met her. Fuck..." I breathe.

"You'll be a great dad. She's changed you, a lot, for the better." He says.

"Thank you man." We pull into the airport and get out, hugging each other before I run on the jet.

I just landed in Italy. Mr Romano's driver just picked me up. I texted Bella, letting her know I'm almost there. Fuck I'm so excited. Im gonna be a dad!!

When we pull into the compound, I literally jump out and run inside. "Hey Sof!" I kiss her cheek as I run passed her, climbing the stairs two at a time to get to her. I burst through the room, scaring the four of them. Bella jumps up and hugs me tightly.

"Hi baby." I sigh, breathing in her perfume. We pull back and I cup her face, kissing her. She relaxes and frankly, so do I.

"Hi." She says once we pull back.

"So? Did you take a test?" She nods and drags me into the bathroom, handing me the test. "We're pregnant?" I ask as I look at the pink lines.

"Yea... we are." I cup her face and kiss her, picking her up as I do. She giggles and kisses me back. "I'm glad you're happy." She admits.

"Are you? I mean, I'm thrilled." I say.

"I am. I'm terrified but I'm happy. We both wanted this. But I do hope they're a girl." She admits.

"Me too... guess we should start thinking of names." I say.

"I swear if you two are trying to have another baby in there, I'm screaming bloody murder." Jake yells, making us both laugh. I set her down and we walk out, hearing him sigh in relief.

"Thank God. Can you have a girl? It's so much easier spoiling a girl." He huffs.

"I will make an appointment for tomorrow." She says.

"Wait... how far are you?" I ask her.

"Uh four months? You didn't use a condom the night you proposed and I forgot to take my pill." She admits.

"So can we see the gender by now?"

"Should be able to." I smile widely and spin her around, kissing her when I set her down.

"I love you so much." I sigh.

"I love you."
