Amore mio 2

72.

Her.

Being pregnant alongside your best friends was an experience filled with joy and camaraderie.

Aria was 30 weeks pregnant, Regina was at 25 weeks, and I was 28 weeks along. The three of us delighted in indulging in soothing spa treatments, shopping sprees, and enjoying an abundance of food throughout the day.

"It's torture to wake up a million times a night to go to the bathroom."- Regina said with a weary smile, but despite the discomfort, the twinkle of boundless joy in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Constant hunger is a fun companion to that."- I added softly, stroking my round belly and feeling my little twins gently kick against my palms.

"Don't remind me. I eat for five, not three, and Giuseppe only encourages it. I try to watch what I eat, but he doesn't care. He's convinced that if our twins want pancakes with Nutella and bananas at 3 in the morning, then they should have them."- Aria shared with an amused smile and we all beamed, familiar with the relentless craving for sweets.

"Mhm, it's especially good if Martie feeds me and then fucks me, burning all the calories right away."- Regina said with a mischievous glimmer in her eyes as we smirked, certainly agreeing with this pleasant detail. 

Food and sex could make a pregnant woman very, very happy.

"Let's go buy some sweets."- Aria suggested with an eager smile, igniting our cravings.

"Gelato."- I said excitedly, already imagining all the flavours I wanted, and Regina nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

With our decision made, we paid for our meal and headed out. Aaron opened the car door for us, and we thanked him before getting in.

"Where to, ladies?"- he asked with a smile as we fastened our seatbelts.

"Gelateria."- I told him with the biggest smile and he chuckled before quickly complying to indulge us in our sweet cravings.

Martin's P.O.V.

"Why is a trip to gelateria taking so fucking long?"- I groaned, restless because it had been 6 hours since the last time I saw my fiancée. 

"They probably detoured to a baby store or a pastry shop. Let them have fun."- my bestie said calmly and put the card down as he, Giuseppe and I played poker. 

"They are growing tiny humans. Let them relax and indulge in whatever they want. The guards are with them at all times."- Giuseppe stated mildly, he and my bestie were in the same good, sweet mood that I could not feel.

"You two definitely fucked your wives this morning."- I stated as a matter of fact and they smirked darkly, remaining silent, but silence spoke louder than words. 

Bastards. 

I tossed cushions at Leonardo and Giosuppe and groaned when they caught them before they could hit them. 

"Don't you miss them?"- I asked as I stared at the ceiling, my heart thundering with maddening longing. 

It had been 6 hours since the last time I kissed my girl, held her in my arms, rubbed her belly and talked to our baby. 6 hours was way too damn long. What if she needed me? What if our baby wanted me near? What if Regina wanted me to make her that disgusting green smoothie and French toast with chocolate syrup? 

"We do, more than anyone will ever understand, but we also understand that they need friendships. Cami loves spending time with me, often all she wants to do is to be with only me, but sometimes going to the spa with her friends or indulging in shopping with them is what she needs. A change of scenery is good, especially for someone as busy as Cami."- Leonardo spoke mildly and tossed the card on the table.
