When i told Anya I was going to meet an old friend I lied . Kayla and I went out on the search for a souvenir or something meaningful I could give her .
Kayla suggested a ring or a necklace , but I had to explain to her that I'd already bought her those . Jewelry wasn't what I was looking for I wanted to project how I felt about her onto something that she could keep forever .
"Ugh Lorenzo I give up, what is it exactly that you want ?"
"I know when I'll see it ."
"You've already told her you love her what more do you think she'd want ?" Kayla speaks behind me and i stop in my tracks "I feel as if she wants more , and I'd she does I'm willing to provide-"
"Anya is not greedy at all , saying I love you is the best gift someone could probably get ."
Glancing at my watch I hadn't noticed how long we'd been out for . She probably was wondering where I was . I'll find what I'm looking for soon .
"Come on let's just go."
***
The entire drive back home had me thinking and I came to realization that Kayla was right in some points . Mainly because Anya didn't like being spoiled, every time I'd buy her a gift she was reluctant to take it .
I wanted to change that , but I then realized you can't force a person to change , it has to be out of their own choice .
"I like how you are now Enzo you seem so much more happier ."Kayla says as we walk on the gravel pathway towards the large oak door . I push it open allowing her to step in before I do closing it behind me .
The hose was silent so the twins we're probably asleep . Kayla makes her way upstairs , and I into the main room where I knew Anya would be .
There she was snuggled up onto the couch with a blanket and mug right beside her. That's my wife . She hasn't even noticed I entered the room mostly because it's dark .
Her eyes finally meet mine and she smiles at me, sitting beside her . I kiss her forehead before giving her a soft kiss. "I missed you." I hear her mumble .
"I'm here now amore , have you eaten ?"
She nods retelling me how her and nonna made one of my favorite dishes . I listened as she also told me what nonna had said to her earlier on today.
"Enzo she said something to me that really made me think."
"What was it ?"
"I don't think nonna agrees with you raising this child or any of our kids in the mafia."
I clench my jaw letting out a sigh "and what is your opinion on this ?"
"I don't know, you being in the mafia didn't bother me , I mean it's worrying because I never know what could happen to you , but on the other side I can't blame you it was forced upon you without choice ." She explained how she felt and it honestly made me smile
"Nonna disagrees with this only because of the way my father treated mom . This baby will take over me wether you like it or not."
"I know."
"Come here." Throwing the blanket off her bare legs she shuffled towards me and sits on my lap . Placing a few kisses on my cheek she rests her head on my shoulder . "I'm so tired ." She yawns
"When we go back I'll take you to see one of my private doctors is that okay?"
I feel her head nod and my arms go around her body "get some sleep tesoro."
***
Once she had fell asleep i carried her upstairs into the room we were staying in. Anya was a light sleeper so it didn't take her long to fall asleep .
She wouldn't let go off me , as she slept I think it's maybe due to how hard she gripped on my shirt as if I was gonna go anywhere .
Watching her sleep is so peaceful for me
Now that this has happened I kinda have a feeling Sandro predicted this would happen when he gave me the idea of asking for her hand in marriage . I remember how reluctant I was to do so mostly because I didn't want her to get close with me .
As she laid on my chest fast asleep it gave me time to think . Sleeping wasn't something I did often . Not ever since my father had thrown me into those cells all those years ago it has taken a massive effect on me . I still managed to get through my day normally but without me sleeping.
Speaking of having an effect on me , I was diagnosed with insomnia soon after . Anya is still not aware of that and I don't plan on telling her , she'll just worry more about me and that's the last thing I want her to do .
It wasn't just my wife I had to protect but my unborn child also .
