Lorenzo Mancini is cold, heartless and ruthless, in the business world he's known as always being merciless and unfeeling in the boardroom. Until a chance encounter with a woman with the most mesmerizing eyes catches his attention. Aella, she's the...
Today's the day of the baby shower and Aella is running herself haggard.
"Has the catering from Giuseppe's came yet? What about the cake from Mama Stortini's? Did you make sure to remind Papà that it's today? You know how forgetful he can be. Shit, does the decorations look nice or do we need to add more?" She goes on a rant on all the stuff she could've forgotten. What she doesn't know is that the catering arrived an hour ago, the cake got picked up by Luca while he was on his way, Papà is right now in the back hanging out with Aella's Mom and the decorations there's more than enough.
"Amorina slow down, stress isn't good for principessa." I rub her shoulders feeling how tense she is.
"Thank you baby"
"Everything's already taken care of, catering is good, cake is good and Papà is in the back right now with the other guests." She exhales in relief.
"You're a life saver." She turns and smiles wide, she's wearing a fitted light pink dress showcasing her pregnant belly.
"You're so beautiful Amorina, our child growing in your belly, your soft glowing skin and your big luscious tits." She slaps my arm at the last part.
"Enzo, there are kid's around." She scolded.
"Let's go to the back and greet everyone." I extend my arm and she takes it, all the kids are playing on the playground, the adults are seated in chairs, there's a long table full of authentic Italian food none of that Taco Bell bullshit. And there's an arch of pink and blue ballons, a table full of cupcakes, cake pops, macaroons and a box with the cake I chose. I chose a round 8 inch cake, the icing is off-white with 2 edible baby booties on top one pink and one blue. When me and Aella slice the cake the inside will be pink.
"Enzo, my brother from not another mother, it's been so long." Luca comes up to us all happy and cheerful
Luca has been working at the Italy location for a few months now. I didn't really want him here when Aella came back, still a little bitter about him helping her.
"And look who it is, Aella? You're pregnant?" He hugs Aella, kissing both her cheeks.
"Yes, I'm pregnant. It's been too long Luca, I've missed you." She returns his hug.
"Ok that's enough." I separate the two, they've been embracing for too long, in my opinion.
"You're a mood killer." Luca complained.
"Go bother Zia Chloe, I heard one of her friends daughter is interested in you." He immediately searches for Zia Chloe.
"I think I see Melanie I'm going to go say hi." She leaves my side and waddles away.
Finding Papà I take a seat next to him, "Ciao Papà, you going to stay awhile this time?" I asked, he's stayed in Italy longer than usual, wanting to observe how Luca runs the business there and seeing if he's capable.
"Mio figlio, not this time I still need to keep watch of Luca. How's my nipoti?"
"The girls are doing great, Luciano is playing soccer this year and our little one will be here in about 20 weeks, life couldn't be better."
"I'm proud of you figlio, I'm happy that you've finally found your happiness. Though the journey was rough the reward is even better."
"Thank you Papà, you need to rest more. You look older than your age." I teased him.
"I'm 68, I already look my age, stupido ." He lets out a hearty laugh.

After we all finished eating, me and Aella decided it's the perfect time to cut the cake. We're gathered around the cake and every family member has their phone out pointing towards us, taking a video of this moment.
"Hurry up and cut the cake!" Luca yelled.
"Stai zitto!" I yelled back.
Since I have the knife I cut the cake while Aella pulls out the slice. She shows everyone the pink inside, and they all go crazy. People scream, yell and holler.
"I knew it, I knew it was a girl." Luca said.
Aella suddenly smashes the slice into my face, laughing and clutching her belly.
"I got you good." Tears come out her eyes and she wipes at them.
I swipe my finger across my face and smudge icing onto her nose.
"Heyy!" We both laugh together enjoying this moment.
"I love you." That's the second time she's said that, I wasn't sure if she remembered the first so I didn't bring it up.
"Yes, I remembered the first time I said it." She blushed, it was after we made love and I've exhausted her. She fell asleep whispering the words out her mouth.
"I love you too." I say it back and we kiss, getting icing on both our faces.
"Papà, Papà!, I want icing on my face too." Isabella runs up to us and I pick her up. I swipe a small amount onto her cheek and she gives me a cheeky grin.
