Falling in Love With a Mafia Boss

Ch. 35

So after I found out, we broke the news to her dad. If looks could kill, I'd be 6 feet under. After his initial shock, he was excited. None of us expected a kid this early but he likes me enough thankfully. He did give me permission to marry her.

"Bella, give us a moment." He says. She gives me a look but smiles a little before walking to the door.

"Don't kill him, papa." She begs.

"I won't." He smiles and I mentally sigh in relief. She sighs before walking out, closing the door behind her.

"Sir." I say.

"I am not going to kill you, Steve. I actually like you. But now that you're apart of this family, and she's having a baby, I want you two to move back here. I have another piece of land that I haven't used it many years. Building a house would not be difficult." He explains. Woah... he wants us to move here? I mean a part of me understands it but that means leaving my family behind. She would have to leave Jake. We haven't even discussed her quitting yet. Would she want to move here?

"Sir, with all due respect, I need to consult with her first. We just found out and there's a lot we need to discuss." I tell him. He nods, respecting my answer.

"Very well. You may leave." I stand and shake his hand before walking out. She's standing outside the door,
arms crossed. Now that I'm actually looking at her, I can tell she fills out her dress a little more. Her boobs are a little bigger too. How did I not notice this before? I know her body. I've spent hours worshipping it. I should've noticed that.

"Well?"

"Let's go upstairs and talk." She huffs but nods and we walk upstairs to her room. My suitcase is already in here. I watch her remove the dress then her bra before digging in my suitcase, taking a shirt from it. I strip down to my underwear then go get in bed. "Come here." She crawls in next to me. Our appointment is tomorrow at 1 so we have today to relax thankfully.

"What did he say?" She lays in my arms and I hug her tightly.

"He wants us to move back here."

"What? Why?"

"Probably so we're close to family. But I told him I needed to talk to you first." She sighs heavily.

"I don't even know. Do you think it's a smart idea? I'd have to quit my job and you'd have to turn the business over to Bucky. Or run it from here." She says.

"Honestly, I wouldn't mind a fresh start. I'll still work the mafia, just not be as involved. Or I can work for your dad." I suggest.

"Ok, what about my job?"

"Mm you're quitting. It's too dangerous now that you're pregnant." She scoffs. Oh gosh... here we go.

"Seriously? It's always been dangerous! If I quit, then so do you. No more mafia business, even with my father." She demands.

"Ok. I have enough money to last us a lifetime."

"Steve I don't want to be a stay at home house wife and mother. I need something else. I don't want to quit." She sighs, her eyes slowly getting glassy.

"Baby don't cry." I kiss her forehead.

"I'm sorry, hormones are a bitch." I chuckle and start combing through her hair.

"It's ok. What about you on desk duty for now? We can reevaluate after the baby is born?" I suggest. I literally cannot say no to this woman. She has me wrapped around her pinky.

"Mm ok... if we move back here, I want to wait until they're older. I like my life in New York. I don't want to leave." She says.

"Then we won't. I'm ok with that."

"Can we find a smaller house?" She asks.

"Of course. Do you want to start looking?" I ask, ready to take my phone out.

"Not right this second. Nap with me?" I chuckle and pull her closer.

"Always." Her face goes in my neck and my hands go under her shirt. "I love you."

"I love you." She kisses under my ear and I shiver. I'm honestly not that tired so I just rub her back as she sleeps. I can hear her heart beat and it's soothing me.

"I'm glad we met. I don't know what I'd do without you. I never pictured myself finding someone I loved enough to marry and have children with. You changed that in me. I wouldn't choose anyone else to be the mother of my children." I feel her smile so I know she's still awake.

"You're only getting four max." I chuckle at her response.

"Maybe..." She pinches my arm. "Fine. Four."

"We need to discuss names." She mumbles.

"Later. Get some sleep."

-Bella's POV-

We just got to the OBGYN. He's the one that actually delivered me. Thankfully he was kind enough to take us on short notice.

I finish changing into the gown and lay on the bed, waiting for him to come back. "You ok, baby?" Steve kisses my hand.

"No I'm scared as hell." The door opens, scaring me a little.

"Ciao, Bella! Siamo pronti a vedere il bambino?" (Are we ready to see the baby?)

"Sí." I nod and he takes the jell, spreading some on my stomach. I'm so scared. I never thought I'd be a mother. What if I'm a bad one? What if they hate me?

A soft heartbeat comes through the speakers and I nearly start crying. I look over at Steve, who's intently watching the screen, tears in his eyes.

"Congratulazioni, stai per avere una ragazza!" I choke out a sob and Steve lets out an exasperated laugh. "Tutto sembra fantastico. Vuoi una foto?"

"Sí, sí!" He smiles a presses a button then hands me a towel to wipe the jell off. He walks out, leaving me to get dressed.

"We're having a girl?" Steve asks. He's picked up on Italian these past few months.

"We're having a girl." He slams his lips on mine, both of us smiling.

"God I love you so much." He mumbles.

"I love you, bambino."
