Mafia love

Chapter 26

I dart out of bed and the usual performance occurs. Sickness. Crying. Reassurance. Cuddles. Kisses. Goodbyes. That soon ended as the first trimester ended. The second trimester began and the sickness was gone. I walk around the house looking a little bloated. I breathe in the fresh air and don't take a minute for granted. I look over to the bench where I lost our first baby and walk towards it. I hold my stomach and memories of that day fill my head.

I walk away a little teary but I think I needed that moment, otherwise I'd feel like I was forgetting my first child. Which I wasn't. I enter inside and I see Ezra. "Heyyy!" I shout down the corridor. "Hello mi amor." His soft smile welcomed me into his open arms. We hugged for a little while before he had to go back to work. I miss him like all the time. Even though he was just down the corridor.

I sit in the kitchen and talk to Ellie and Fernando. "How is pregnancy treating you?" Ellie plods along. "Better, thankfully." I sigh. "Aye, what is wrong?" Fernando asks. "I just miss Ezra all the time at the minute." I say holding back the tears. "Oh, honey. The hormones." Ellie smiles. I giggle a little wiping my tear off of my cheek. "Like, one minute I'm happy, the next I'm crying. I miss him, even when I hug him, I miss him." I cry.

"Pregnancy hormones are literally the devil in disguise honey." Ellie says coming to hug me. I gather myself together after my mood swing. Something in my belly. It was different. I gasp, "I think the baby just kicked for the first time." "The little one must be missing Mr Coppola as well." Fernando smiles.

I run out of the kitchen and into Ezra's office. It is full of men. He was in a meeting, I didn't knock. Shit. "STOP GAWPING, GO AND STAND IN THE CORRIDOR YOU IMBECILES!!" I shout. They scramble out onto the corridor. Ezra looks so puzzled right now. I run over to him and he stands up quickly. "What is wrong cara mia (my dear)?" He asks holding my face. "The baby kicked." I squeal.

His hands quickly leave my face and cup my belly, "kick again, please. For your dadda." We stand in that position for a couple of minutes and they kick again. Ezra drops to his knees and kisses my belly. "I love you and your mummy so much." He says before standing back up and kissing me. "We both love you very much." I smile.

"Right, I'll let your meeting carry on pretty boy." I smile walking away. The men are just outside in the corridor. "You are allowed back in now." I say walking away.

I walk up to our room and watch a movie in bed. Once the movie is finished I get up out of bed and walk downstairs. I was hungry. I was craving Pringles. Salt and vinegar Pringles. "What can I get for you Mrs Coppola?" Fernando asks. "Have we got any salt and vinegar Pringles?" I wonder going to check the cupboard. "I don't know." He plods along. I look in the pantry after checking the cupboards. I move around in the pantry, desperate for salt and vinegar Pringles.

I sigh and tears form in my eyes. No salt and vinegars Pringles. "Odio questa casa!" (I hate this house!) I scream walking out of the kitchen. Ezra is just leaving his office after finishing work. "Stai bene Tesoro?" (Are you okay sweetheart?) He asks. I break down into tears.

He walks towards me and holds me. I drop my head onto his chest. "Talk to me baby." He says in a very soft voice. "It's stupid." I whisper. "It won't be stupid. I promise." He sighs bringing my eyes to his. "I've got a craving, and the hormones have made me cry about it." I exhale. He giggles a little. I shove his chest a little. "What is it you crave Tesoro?" He questions. "Salt and vinegar Pringles." I whisper.

He walks away from me and I look up in frustration. "Where are you going?" I shout down the corridor. "The car is this way Tesoro." He smiles. I smile and run to him. He grabs hold of my hand and we walk to the car. He opens the door and straps me in. When we start driving he rests his hand on my stomach. I smile to myself.

We reach a little shop and they don't have them. Ezra returned empty handed. "Don't panic, we will drive across Europe if we have to." He says rubbing my cheek. I smile at him and I get a soft smile in return. We soon reach the mall we shop at. We enter the little supermarket inside and they have them. We pick up a tube and pay for it. I desperately get a Pringle out and I'm not disappointed.

"Thank you." I say giving Ezra a kiss on the lips. "Anything for my two loves." He smiles holding my hand. "Fancy doing some spending?" He smirks. I nod in excitement and we go to all the baby shops picking up furniture and room decorations that will be sent in a few days by home delivery. We share Pringles and talk as we walk around the shops. Soon enough we finish shopping and head home.

"I'm so excited." I squeal. I see Ezra smile so big, "me too Tesoro." He places his hand on my stomach and rubs it slightly with his thumb. Then, all of a sudden the car is bashed from behind. "What the fuck." Ezra grunts. "The car is ramming into the back of us. I think they are trying to get us off road." He continues, his smile has completely disappeared. "I'm scared." I whisper.
