Obsessively In Love

•••TWENTY FOUR•••

— MEETING GIANNI—

                     DAISY

         The warmth coming from Lorenzo's hand in mine is the only source of comfort that I have right now. I don't know why I'm so nervous I just don't think I'm ready for the questions or weird stares from his family. Once we are past the door we are swamped by everyone trying to get a look at Gianni that's covered by Lorenzo. "Who is this?" Marco asks looking down at sleeping Gianni before looking at Lorenzo and me. "Your grandson Gianni." He answers with no hesitation and the room gets eerily quiet like everyone is trying to process the information before Mia lets out a loud screech barreling toward us looking at us with silent permission before reaching for him. "Oh my god I have a grand baby." Mia whispers while silent tears fall down her face.

     Marco leans over his wife to get a better look as did everyone else it was quiet beside the whispers about how cute he was or how small he is. "How did this happen?" Marco asks looking up at us with curious eyes. "Cryptic pregnancy." Was all I said he nodded looking back down before letting out a breath and giving Mia a kiss on the head. "You two my office we need to discuss some things Mia can watch Gianna in the mean time." I nodded not really feeling like I had a choice to decline. I can feel my heart beating against my rib cage as my palms begin to sweat. I look over at Lorenzo and see him completely emotionless like always not giving anything away making me frustrated. Once we made it inside his office which looked similar to Lorenzo's only lighter colors. We took our seats as Marco sits behind his desk taking out a big cigar throwing one to Lorenzo before taking out one for himself. "Can someone explain to me what the fuck is going on around here? It's starting to feel like we're running a fucking circus." He lights his cigar looking at waiting for an explanation. I look over at Lorenzo not sure what all to tell him he looks over and sees my expression he turns to his father. "Which part do you want me to explain first?" He asks taking a hit of his cigar blowing but into the air letting the smoke linger around. "Gianni." Was all he said. Lorenzo nods his head like he understands the confusion around him. "It took me by surprise too. I've been looking for her for about six months at that point when Theo came to me and said that we got a hit at some hospital in Florida I wasn't even sure if it was her or not so I sent a Leonardo to see and he confirmed he seen her but he said that I needed to get there immediately and didn't explain further I thought something horrible happened but once I landed I seen it.

     He wasn't talking about an emergency he was talking about her having my baby, she was sent into surgery due to so much blood loss I was able to spend some time with him. I knew instantly he was mine I mean he looks just like me I wasn't even doubting it just pissed that someone ran away and then something like this happens." He looks over at me at the end with a pointed look before turning back to his father that was listening intently while smoking. "Why did you run away Daisy?" Marco asked with genuine curiosity. I take a breath before answering I can tell at this point that Lorenzo has kept him in the dark about this whole situation. "Well for starters my real name is Grazia Romana my father was the head of the Romana empire as you may already know. I'm not sure what you have heard about the story of what happened but whatever you heard was probably a lie.
