Married to the Don

20. New Arrival

Maria POV

I have been here for two hours and still no baby.

I am in great pain and all Dante can say is
"Its okay"
"Its going to be worth it"
"Your doing great mi amor"

Yes I know he's trying to help but I'm sorry. Is he trying to dilate the right amount of centimetres so I can push this baby out.

The nurse comes in again. She examines me once again.

"Well it seems its time to deliver that baby" she says.

"Oh god" Dante says.

"Shit" I say.

"Right okay Maria. When you feel the next contraction, I want you to push as hard as you can and squeeze Dante's hand. " the midwife says making me nod.

I feel another contraction and I push as hard as I can. And I squeeze Dante's hand.

I repeat this two times.

I felt another contraction and pushed harder.

"I can see the head. You can do this Maria. One big push again. " the midwife says.

Another contraction comes and I push again. The midwife grabs the baby and immediately takes it out of the room.

"No, wait! Thats my baby!" I shout.

I get up from the room. And try and chase after them. But the nurse doesn't let me. And Dante holds me back.

"What even was it? Girl or boy?"I ask the nurse.

" a boy, congratulations. We'll keep you in touch about his progress. " the nurse says before leaving.

"Dante. What if he doesn't make it" I say crying into his shoulder.

"Hey, don't talk like that. He's an Albero. He's the little Don, a little fighter." He says.

About two hours later the nurse comes in again.

"Just to let you know. The little baby is doing fine. He's healthy but we will need to keep him in hospital for a couple of weeks. He's in an incubator, but would you like to see him?" The nurse asks making me and Dante nod.

We follow her out of the room. And we see him laying there in the incubator. He's tiny. His whole body is like the same size as a bag of sugar. He's beautiful.

"What should we name him?" Dante asks.

"I don't know. But I think you should give him his first name and then I could give him his middle name." I say.

"Yes and then swap if its a girl. For our next child. " Dante says getting what I was trying to say.

"So what name your going to give him?" I ask. 

"Matteo" he said.

"So that will be Mateo Antonio Albero" I sat.

"God I love that. Just like I love you" Dante says.

"And I love you too" I say

We kiss. God I love him. I couldn't have asked for a better arranged marriage. If I could have a chance to re do this I would everytime.

"How many more children do you want?" Dante asked.

"Well I want a big family, because you know I was an only child and there's nothing wrong with it. But I'd like for our child to have people to turn to that isn't us. How about you?" I ask.

"Ye I'm the the same with you. How big of a family. 4?5?6? " he asks.

"I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see. But I'm giving the maximum of 4 births. So only 3 left." I say. Yes I want a big family but giving birth to a lot of children is pain.

"So that means I'll have to up my game and hopefully fit a pair of twins in the 3 births we have left then. " he says.
