Blood Or Love (COMPLETED)

Chapter 23

Lorenzo's POV

It's been a week. Atlas is perfectly fine now. Ana has started to call me Lori again. We're on better terms than before. I have still not told her about the reason for doing everything I did. I'm not able to. Earlier when she explained to me about her kidnapping, I was really hit. But she has gotten stronger. After the drive and my confession, she has grown closer to me. And me being me, I shamelessly flirt with her sometimes. She doesn't mind. I have started being the old me. I have started picking her up and walking around instead of letting her walk herself. And since we wake up before the kids, I brush her teeth too and mine too. We haven't reached till any physical things yet because I want things to go really slow. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

I really hate it but from tomorrow, I have to go to office too. But why worry about tomorrow when you have today. I was preparing waffles for everyone especially Ana for breakfast today with pancakes too. I saw my baby coming down with our babies and went to dining room. I was preparing the last waffle when she walked out from there and leaned on the kitchen island in front of me. "What is it Mrs Giovanni?" I asked. "Didn't you say you'd take kids on picnic?" She smiled. I nodded at her smiling widely. "Why don't we all go today?" She asked. "Of Course for sure, love." I answered. She took the plates for babies and walked away in the dining room.

As soon as I finished, I took the breakfast along with me and went in. We all had breakfast in silence and then soon, when everything was about to be completed, Ana spoke, "Boys... Want to do something fun today?" I smiled as she asked them. They all nodded and asked what. "If you all will be good today, then only you'll get this surprise. Come on now, promise daddy. It is all his plan." Why did she say that... It was her plan.. I've seen her doing this a lot of times. Giving me credits though I did nothing.

"We promise you we'll be good today." They said in unison. I nodded at them smiling and soon we completed our breakfast. Like really good and mature boys, they kept the plate in the sink and went to the room with Nana. I was doing the dishes when Ana walked towards me. "I'll do it." She firmly said. I shook my head as she huffed.

There hasn't been a single night where they wouldn't have kissed me goodnight. I really am blessed with three angels in my life. Actually four. One is standing beside me now. "Lori, there was something you wanted to tell me. I told you about... that but you never told me what it was." She spoke and my body went stiff. Now what do I do? I don't want to ruin the day. Maybe tomorrow? Yeah that's better.

"Ana, I'll tell you that tomorrow. Today is a good day, I wouldn't want to ruin your mood today. Please understand. It's our first picnic as a family. My family Ana, our family." I answered. I cleaned my hands and took her to the couch. "Okay so first tell me, when are we going?" She asked. "Probably after their afternoon nap?" I asked, even though I wasn't sure. "Okay, do you have anything in mind? Where will we go? What will we do?" She asked and I got an idea at this point.

"Ana, why don't we show them our memories? Remember that park? Those swings. Though you've already told them about everything, why don't we show them?" I suggested. "Not bad Lorenzo." She said smiling at herself mostly.

"Then get ready Mrs Giovanni, this is going to be a hell of a day!" I beamed as she smiled sweetly at me. "You go and rest, I'll prepare something for them, don't want Atlas to get sick again." She spoke.

"I'll give you a hand. Let's make something together?" I really badly want to spend time with her. "Why are you having so much ink on you Lori?" She asked, noticing my neck. I have at least six tattoos on my body now. I just like big ones so though the number is less, it looks like there are many. "I forgot to show you this one tattoo. I said and started to unbutton my shirt and saw her shifting uncomfortably.
