Last night, I got to know Giovanni pretty well. Even though he's a dangerous mafia man, he also had morals, which I appreciated and likely respected.
We talked about his family and how they're excited to meet the girls but I told him I wanted to take things slow before we introduced them to them, not only for my sake but the girls too, which he thankfully understood. I learned that he was the oldest of one sibling, Valentina, though they were twins, which explains how the gene went to Bellamy and Bay and they became twins.
Giovanni also insisted on making the tuition free for their schooling, considering the fact that he owns that school anyway. I agreed, I mean it would allow me to save a lot more money than not so I appreciated the gesture of him stepping up as a father already.
What surprised me the most was how concerned he seemed when he spoke about Bellamy's mannerisms. I was hoping he wouldn't notice but he's a very observant man, I mean he's a mafia leader so I couldn't expect anything less from him. I didn't know if I wanted to tell him about her yet and why she acts the way she does because I didn't want him to look at her any differently so I simply disregarded his observations saying she was fine, she's just shy. He thankfully left it alone and we began to talk about me and what I did for work since he was curious.
I told him I ran a company that sells artwork to a lot of rich people and tries to support local artists from the States as well as in Italy. I don't know why I didn't tell him I painted myself, it just felt like that would be opening myself up too much. It felt too vulnerable, I didn't want to be judged. Why would he judge me? I don't know. Maybe it's just part of my social anxiety.
Giovanni also learned that I was an only child and it was just my mother and I in Bellamy and Bays lives. He looked joyful learning that there was no man in the twins' lives, which was a little funny. In return he told me that he was also single and there wouldn't be a woman besides me or his family members around the twins once we got to the level where the twins would be comfortable enough to stay with their dad without me present.
It was great that we were able to communicate and express our concerns while being able to amicably set a foundation and rules that we both respectfully agree or disagree on and talk through it. We both wanted to be able to coparent getting along and keeping a safe environment for the kids because that was the most important.
It was around midnight, when he ended up leaving. I went to sleep not long after.

The next morning, I woke up squished in between two heavy weights on each side of my body. The sunlight was shining bright through the window. I had forgotten to shut the blinds before I fell asleep last night. I groggily opened my eyes and looked down to see two little brunettes. Bellamy on right with her head laid in the crook of my neck and Bay was on my left with her head laid on my chest.
