His tesoro

Chapter 21

Staring down at the positive test I swallow a large gulp of fear placing it on the counter . My eyes meet Enzo's who was leaning against the doorway.

"Positive ?"

I slowly nod my head not knowing wether he was upset with me or not , he had every right to be . Finding out on your honeymoon that your pregnant isn't exactly the best thing .

I finished washing my hands and now faced Enzo who stayed quiet . "Can you please say something?" I exaggerate already annoyed of the silence .

"What do you want me to say Anya?"

"I don't know anything , are you happy? Mad ? Sad."you could hear the frustration in my voice and it was stressful

"Anya what makes you think it's the right time for us to have a baby?" He finally responds , and I fold my arms letting out a huff .

"I know it's not the right time , but we have to take responsibility am I right ? We're both adults ."

"Yes and I understand-"

"And I really need your opinion because baby I don't know what to do ." I didn't want to cry again because it felt like I've cried everyday this week . But I think my hormones were all over the place

Enzo's facial expression softens and he's soon to approach me . His finger rests on my chin as he slowly lifts my head up so I'm now looking up at him. "do you want me to get rid of it ?" It came out as a whisper because I wasn't sure what his response would be.

"Abort it ? Hell no." He strokes my cheek with his thumb "I just need you to be aware of the danger this puts you in Anya , if word gets out-"

"I know they'll try kill me, you've told me this already ."

He shook his head "you don't get it , they won't just try and kill you they will . Possibly trying to get to me because you are now my weakness ."

Did I hear that right .

I knew he cared about me but I never knew he'd actually find me vulnerable. Do I really mean that much to him for me to be his weakness ?

"And now with this baby, Anya I can't let anything happen to you ."

"So your not mad about me being pregnant?"

"No , I'm just surprised at how quick this all happened , but on the other hand we did go overboard don't you think ?" He says with a smirk displayed on his lips . My eyes roll back and I smile also .

Lorenzo stretches his arms out wrapping them around me , I stand on my tiptoes because of how tall he is and hug him back . "Ti vigolo bene Anya."

I relax into his arms inhaling his strong cologne "I love you Enzo ."

We had been in Italy over two weeks now and was planning on leaving in a few days . Mostly because Enzo was needed back home and he'd been on holiday too for too long according do his men .

Speaking of Enzo he went to meet an 'old friend' of his not so long ago . It's only been an hour since he left . Nonna and I were in the kitchen she was showing me how to make one of his favorite dishes that he used to eat when he was a child.

"Anya is there anything you want to tell me ?" Nonna chirps . I pause just for a moment shrugging my shoulders in confusion. "No why?"

"Hmm I was just wondering." She says closing the running tap , she also had similar features with Enzo , they all did . A couple days ago I'd seen a few pictures of Enzo's mother and she was absolutely beautiful. Leona looked just like her mostly because her feminine features were passed down .

Placing the chopped carrots into a bowl I jumped off the stool I sat on going to the sink to wash them . "Anya I want to Thankyou ."

"For?"

"Being with Enzo , you saved him. You may not know it but I used to be scared for him , scared that he'll be alone forever because he wouldn't let anyone in but I'm so thankful he found someone like you who managed to stay with him , and now you guys are having a child together I couldn't be happier."

I drop the bowl into the sink feeling my heart beat quicken , slowly I turn around facing nonna who had her arms folded with a smile "you think I didn't know ? I had the feeling but I then saw you a few days ago and noticed how much weight you've gained ."

"Emily bought it up a few days ago but I was kinda scared to take the test-"

"How'd he react ?"

Leaning against the counter I think back to when id told Enzo last night about how I might've been pregnant . Fear was the only emotion I could sense from him and it had nothing to do with the baby but he was scared for me .

"He took it very well if I'm being honest , but i feel it's made him more protective of me especially with everything goin on with the Russians ."

Nonna sighs "I told serene to keep Enzo out of his mafia nonsense , but she just had to fall for his father ." She was referring to Enzo's mother
"Let's hope you break the cycle ."

I wasn't sure how to feel about what she said , is she saying allowing my child to be raised in the mafia world is a bad thing ? I mean of course it is it's dangerous and risky but on the other hand Lorenzo wouldn't allow it . I know him .

I'm carrying his heir and God knows what would happen if I tried taking him/her away from its legacy .
