Their Innocence✓ [UNEDITED]

Seventy One

Waking up, I noticed that my throat and body hurt from our recent activities

I was wedged between Liam and Ryan who I woke up accidentally whilst trying to escape their grasp

"Where are you going?"

Ryan asked sleepily

"I'm Hungry"

I mumbled and he got up and helped me change before leaving the bedroom with me and Liam

We headed down the stairs before Oliver's mamma came over.

"Hi Benedetta"

Liam greeted her

"Where were you three? We've been looking for you"

She questioned and Ryan answered

"Principessa needed some alone time"

He explained and she nodded.

"Well your cousin's are here now. Go and say hello"

She encouraged and we nodded as both my men held my hands and headed to where all the voices were

"We wondered where you were"

Carlos smiled kindly as we sat down

"So that's what I've been up to"

Silas, Ryan's cousin, told me and I nodded - interested in what he was saying

"What about you. What have you been up to lately?"

He asked and i smiled as i looked at our girl

I explained all that had happened over these past few months and he nodded, congratulating me before asking lots of questions

I of course answered all of them before Bella came over and joined me on my lap

"You must be Trinette, lovely to meet you"

He smiled to her and I nodded as he shook her hand respectfully before she nodded

"Yes, who are you?"

"Silas"

She smiled as she greeted him

"Dinner is served"

Liam's parents announced as they started bringing out plates of food for us all

We all ate and talked before heading To the other room to gather around the fire. Our family was large and half of them weren't here yet

I'm excited to see my grandparents. I haven't seen them in a while so it'll be nice

And i cant wait for our girl to meet them

My grandparents are the sweetest

As I took a seat in the room, Bella curled up on my lap and i pulled my jacket around her to keep her warm. The guys all had their eyes trained on her before they all got swept up in conversation. Eventually she was asleep and twitching a little as she always did

My mamma came over with a small frown

"Is she okay?"

She asked me as she sat down

"She twitches when she sleeps"

I explained as i watched her intently with a hint of sadness..I hate that she gets nightmares

"Is there a reason"

"Yes. But its not mine to share"

I told her simply and she nodded before averting her gaze to our girl

"You really love her dont you"

She asked and I nodded

"With all my heart"

I told her softly and she nodded

"Have you told her?"

"I'm waiting for the right time"

I smiled and she nodded with acceptance and approval

I felt tears start to fall on my shirt and immediately knew it was trinny so walked out of the room briskly as to give her some privacy. as i laid her on the bed she jerked awake

"I'm here Bella. I'm here"

I comforted her as her heavy breaths slowed to normal and she gripped onto me

I'm going to kill her papa. I know he's the cause of these nightmares.

"You're safe"

"I'm safe"

She repeated after me. My heart warmed to know she felt safe with us

"Where is he going?"

My uncle asked and Oliver's mamma shook her head

"It doesn't matter. Now where were we"

She smiled as we all teamed up for a very competitive game of monopoly

"Lons"

Ais asked as she yawned

"Yea?"

I asked as i turned to look at her

"Im tired. Where is the bedroom?"

"Ill take you"

I smiled as i took her up the stairs and to my bedroom before she changed and got into bed. I joined her and we just cuddled as my hand absently stroked her stomach where our children were growing

"Are you scared?"

She asked me and i stopped stroking her a i spoke

"Scared of what?"

I asked

"This. This whole thing....four kids. Because i am"

She said

"Its going to be okay. I promise ais"

I smiled kindly to my wife before she mumbled something and drifted off to sleep

I laid awake for a while after her, just holding her in my arms for a while
