Brielle is engaged to marry a horrible man who doesn't treat her well, so one day she decides to run away but what happens when she witnesses something she wasn't suppose to in an alley, and is forced to work for Italian mafia king Lorenzo De Luca.
...
Three years later... (Sorry for all the time jumps I promise it will be worth it.)
3 years.
I have been a mother for 3 whole years and if I'm being honest I wouldn't change a thing.
Leon has got to be one of the best things to have happened to me. He has grown into a very sweet and smart boy.
He has already learned so much for only being in this world for three years.
I remember the first few months after having him weren't exactly easy. Just like my doctor had guessed I developed post partum depression.
It was really hard to take care of Leon at first, I was always crying and whenever Leon saw me cry he would cry 10 times as much and louder.
But once I got the hang of being a mom it came to me easily. I haven't been going to therapy as much because I don't really need it. I still go just once a month and I always fill Lisa in on my life, either talking about how I'm doing or like most of my visits now I sit there talking about Leon while I show her pictures of him.
Leon started Daycare last month so that has really lifted a weight off of my shoulders. Before he started me and Ana took turns in going to work while the other one sat home and watched Leon but we had to stop that because our boss wasn't happy with that.
So then Greg offered to start helping us watch him and we had to let him do that for a few months just until Leon was old enough for Daycare.
"Leon." I say in a low voice trying to wake him up to get ready.
He stirs in his sleep before slowly opening his eyes.
"Mommy?"
"Come on sweety let's get up and ready for Daycare." While he rubs the sleep out of his eyes and gets out of bed I run into the bathroom and start his bath for him.
I make sure the water is just the right temperature before turning around and heading into his closet to pick him out an outfit.
I then help him undress and place him in the tub. I grab his bathing supplies and grab the shampoo out so I can wash his brown hair.
The older Leon gets the more he starts to look like his father. It used to hurt me to say that but now I have no reaction to it.
I'm glad Leon turned out to look like his father and I'm happy he is showing traits of all the other De Lucas's, because that means even if he doesn't have Lorenzo in his life he still had the personality and the looks and I feel like that will help him in the future feel close to his other family.
I have been debating the last year to take him to at least meet his family and his father, but I would always find a way to talk myself out of it.
I would either tell myself it's not appropriate considering I just up and left everyone without a word, or I would just simply tell myself Leon wasn't ready for that much confusion just yet.
"All done!" Leon shouts in a happy tone once he finished brushing his teeth.
"Great job, let's get you dress." I pick him up while I plant a kiss on his cheek before leading him back into his room.
