Mafia love

Chapter 19

He heads back into his meeting and I get in the car with two bodyguards. Soon enough, I was outside the shops, "wait here." I say. I get out of the car and enter the shops. I pick up a range of pregnancy tests because I don't know what I am doing. Ezra gave me his card to buy whatever I needed. I pay, stuffing the boxes in my bag and head back out to the car. I sigh as I get back into the car. "You good?" A voice questions. I nod and start driving back to the mansion.

When we get back, all of the cars are still in the driveway. Ezra's meeting was still commencing. I run inside to our room and lock the bathroom door. I desperately open the test and pee on the end of it. I pace the bathroom as the timer on my phone ticks by. When it goes off it startles me. I jump back before turning it off.

I dread turning it over. I don't know what Ezra will think. Am I ready to raise a baby, possibly on my own. Thoughts cloud my mind. I flip the test over and it's positive. I cry. I don't know if I was happy or sad. I just know I wanted it to live a perfect life. I think I'm happy. I'm carrying a precious little child inside of me and it would make me a mommy. It doesn't matter if Ezra is unhappy. I would raise it. But I would really love it, if he wanted a baby too.

I wipe my tears and take a deep breath. I hide the test in my pocket and head to Ezra's office. I hope his meeting has ended. I open the front door, the cars are gone. I close the door and head to his office. I knock and Ezra says "come in." I open the door and sit on his lap. "Did you get everything you needed?" He asks pressing his forehead against mine. I nod before taking a deep breath, "I bumped into someone at the shop, an old friend." I say, clearly lying through my back teeth. He nods, "may I ask who." He says removing his head from mine.

"She was my childhood bestie, irrelevant really, but she was talking and it made me think." I stop, trying to make up more of the story. "What did she say?" He frowns. "She was talking about babies, long story short. Have ever thought about having kids?" I ask. I'm covering this really well. He nods, "I've always wanted to be a dad someday, but I would only become a dad if and when you are ready Tesoro." He sighs.

I nod, "what if I say I was ready?" "Are you being serious?" He smiles. I reach into my pocket and pull out the positive pregnancy test. He takes it out of my hand and scans it. He places it on his desk and pulls me into him for a tight hug. After a couple of minutes he pulls away. He places his hand on my stomach. "Hello, my little love." he whispers. He looks back up to me. "Is that why you wanted to go alone?" He asks. I sigh, "I didn't want anyone to know in case you didn't want the baby." "I will never put you in that position tesoro." He reassures me.

I leave before another meeting commences. I feel warm inside. I hold my stomach as I walk to the kitchen. "Hello Mrs Coppola, are you hungry yet?" A maid asks. "Yes, can I have pizza please." I ask. She nods and tells the chef. I sit at the table waiting and soon enough a delicious pizza is sat in front of me. Freshly made.

I devoured the pizza. Not a care in the world as it was delicious. Men pour out of Ezra's office and one walks towards me. "Have you just eaten all that?" He questions. "Yeah, what about it?" I frown. "That's very fat of you." He laughs. I sit there and hold back my tears when the maid gasps. He goes to walk out of the front door and Ezra's men grab him. "I think you've said enough." One states. They drag him into a room I had never entered before.

My stomach feels as is it has just plummeted to the bottom of the Atlantic. I didn't know what to do but I watched the door to the room I had never been in. A bodyguard left and walked across the hall to Ezra's office. Minutes later he storms out at the side of his bodyguard. Infuriated. I've never seen him so angry before. They enter the mysterious room. I look to the maid and she avoids eye contact with me. "What's in that room?" I quiz her. "Nothing Mrs Coppola." She sighs.

I don't believe her and I want to find out what is hiding behind that door. I start to walk towards the door. Something in my head is telling me to open the door but my heart says otherwise. I walk away and decide I will just ask Ezra later on. I walk towards our bedroom and feel inanely tired after the pizza. I open the door and practically flop onto the bed. My eyes open to find Ezra walking into the closet in only a towel.

Propping myself up against the bed frame, I watch as he exits the closet. "Hey." I say softly, half asleep. "Hey Tesoro, I didn't mean to wake you." He says before coming over and placing a kiss to my forehead. "You didn't." I smile.

He sits down in front of me. He holds my hands and says, "ignore what that pathetic man said this afternoon. You can eat as much as you want, pregnant or not. You will not be named fat for listening to your body." I nod as tears fill my eyes. His thumb wipes my tears from my cheeks. "You are beautiful tesoro, don't forget it." Ezra's soft smile appears which makes me react in the same way.

"I have a question..."I plead, he looks at me confused. "What is that room you entered earlier with that man?" I ask. He sighs, "it's where business is taken care of." I nod, as that was the answer I was expecting. I'm glad he didn't lie to me and make up a crazy excuse.

He climbs into bed at the side of me. "Is it really nighttime?!" I shout. "Yes." Ezra laughs at my pure shock. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I smack his shoulder lightly. "You just looked peaceful and happy asleep." He says still giggling.

"I'm not gonna be able to sleep." I laugh. "I'll happily stay awake with you Tesoro." Ezra states. "Don't be daft, you need to be re-energised for work tomorrow." I sigh. "You can keep yourself occupied by online shopping." He smirks. I kiss his lips softly and run to get the laptop from my beauty table.

I sit up in bed and Ezra kisses my stomach and lays his head on my lap. I look for things but soon realise I wanted to shop for our baby in person. The thrill of buying things to go into the nursery. I wanted to experience it all. Me and Ezra together. I decide to switch off the laptop and lay down with Ezra.
