I woke up this morning. I turned to my side to see that the bed was all empty. No Dante... weird.
I got dressed into a grey dress and I put my hair into a messy bun.

I walled down the stairs. I saw Dante on the sofa. I walked behind him and put my arms around his neck.
"I've got a surprise for you" Dante told me.
"Really? What is it?" I asked curiously.
"Well there are two surprises. " Dante said. "Cmon come here." He said.
"Ok." We walked towards the door.
"Right I'm going to put my hands over eyes, don't look" he said.
He guided me out of the door and down the two steps so we were on our drive outside.
"Right, look." He said.
He took his hands off of my face. There stood a beautiful white range rover.

My jaw dropped to the floor. This has always been my dream car. How did he know?
"Dante, a car?" I said nor knowing what to say.
"I bought it for you." He said
"Why?when?" I said
"Because can't a husband spoil his wife. And I bought this morning. A little birdy told me that its your dream car. " he said.
"I love you" I said
"I love you too. But you haven't seen the best part yet." He said.
"This can get better?" I asked.
"Yes now follow me. " he said.
I followed him back into the house. He just randomly stopped in the middle of the hallway.
He then took out a small black box out of his pocket.
He opened it and there was a ring. A beautiful ring, it was stunning. It was a big blue diamond. Which I know that is very rare. How much this would've cost?
"I cannot take this" I said.
"You will, I realized that you didn't get a proposal or an engagement ring so this is making up for it." He said.
"You didn't have to." I said.
"I know, but I wanted to." He said.
"God I love you so much" I said.
"And I love you more mi amor" he said.
He slipped the ring on my finger and gave me the keys to my new car.
Our lips connected. My hands went up to his hair and ruffled it. While his hands went around my hips then circled my stomach.
"Gabs is gone!!" Luca shouted from the top of the stairs.
I pulled away from the kiss.
"What?" I said.
"She's not here. She was sleeping when I went to take a shower. Then I came out the window was smashed and she wasn't there. I've tried phoning here and she isn't picking up." He said worryingly. By the end of that sentence he was down the stairs.
Ellena and Enzo came out of their room. "What's wrong?" Enzo asked.
"Gabs is gone. We think someone's taken her." Dante said.
"What am I going to do!? She cannot , oh god what If she's dead, what if the baby is-"
"Shhh you cannot speak like that" I said holding him in my arms.
"Wait-" I said which made everyone look at me.
"Unless they thought that Gabs is me. And that they think that she's the Don's wife. Look at it. We're both pregnant and we've both been seen in public with Dante. Also she moved in recently which adds. " I said.
"I think you might be right. I haven't taken you to any mafia balls yet so nobody knows how my wife looks like. All they know is that she's pregnant. " Dante said.
"I may know a way to find her." I said. Which again made everyone look at me.
"Go on" Dante said.
"You know you gave me that necklace, when I moved in with you. It was a tracker I didn't exactly trust you then, but I gave it to Gabs." I said.
"Ok baby. I'm not mad at you. But now that's probably the best thing you could've done." He said.
"Ellena get your ass to that office and hack into the code." I said.
Ellena ran into the office and a couple of minutes later she came out.
"Ok, she's in the warehouse of the France mafia. The warehouse they own in France. I've got the location." She said.
"Ok, I'll get everyone to go there. Let's go now in the car." Dante said.
All of us started to run to the door but Dante stopped me.
"Your not coming with us." Dante said to me.
"Yes I am. She's my best friend. Your not stopping me." I said.
"No your not. " Dante said raising his voice slightly.
"Yes I am" I yelled.
"Maria your pregnant. " he yelled.
"I know. But if someone I love and care for are in danger, I'll put myself in danger to save them." I yelled.
"Dante, let her. She's obviously made up her mind. We'll protect her. " Luca said.
"Ok fine. But your not going out of my sight. " he said.
