Captivated Desires

"You two are perfect together, are you guys thinking about having more?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Honestly, I want more but I won't ask her to go through being pregnant again if it's going to be too much for her. She's been talking about wanting a large family, but I think she's still a little worried about it."

"I think more so because it's Mafia life you know," I said gently.

He nodded. "I won't lie, it was a big concern for me as well when we had Darius. I know I do my best to keep her and the kids safe, but a lot of dangerous people would love to see me lose the only thing I care about. So, I'm hesitant to bring more kids into a life like this, but if Olympia wants more, then I'll give her everything she wants."

"I think we are it we the kids after baby girl is born I think that's it for me and Reign. Not because of family life, it's hard being like a work-at-home mom, Reign doesn't know but I applied for a job that I can do at home,".

Azar's eyes widened. "You- You got a job?" He was shocked to hear that. I had been a stay-at-home mom since I had Lion. I never worked, "Doing what?"

"Just some online business to help college kids start," I replied to him "If I didn't go to that high school, I wouldn't have met Reign then you, Reign is the sweetest husband and he has always told me that I don't need to work since he provides easily however when I have the boys I also feel bored sitting around. I want to do something for myself as well," I said gently.

Azar nodded slowly as he listened to me explain my reasoning. "It'll be a good thing for you I think. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not going to say you being a stay-at-home mom is a bad thing, it's just that having something else to devote your time to will be good. What about once the baby is born?"

"Well, it is a stay-at-home job. And do not tell Reign,".

Azar smirked. "You think I would snitch on you?" He said, acting as if he was offended by the accusation.

"Yes,".

He chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Don't you know me at all? I would never tell you about something like this. Besides, what's the worst he would do? Ground you?" He asked in a playful tone.

"It might turn into an argument," I replied.

"How can he argue with you when you're the correct one? And if Reign ever dared to yell at you, I'd beat his ass." Azar said with a protective tone.

"He's my friend and I love him, but he's not the one who goes through the pain of pregnancy. He can't tell you what you will and will not do. You want a job. So, you can have a damn job and there's nothing he can do to stop you." He said in an equally protective and determined tone.

"Besides, you know Reign and that stubborn ass of his isn't gonna argue with you for long. You'll pout for a few minutes and give him a cold shoulder. He'll break in about two seconds and agree with you. That man is whipped."

"I know, he is so cuddly and clingy,".

Azar chuckled softly and nodded. "He's a big softy when it comes to you. He can be a ruthless killer in the outside world, but when you're around? He's practically a giant puppy. Hell, if he had a tail he be wagging it when you're around him."

He smirked. "I have never seen a man change so much after getting into a relationship. I mean you should have seen him before you two met. He was a cocky bastard with a heart of stone. Now, well, let's just say you made him a better man."

"I think so too, even his dad has said that,".

Azar nodded. "It's true. I remember the first time I met you, he was so focused on you that he was acting like a completely different person. The first time I heard him refer to another person as sweetheart was when he was talking about you. I knew he was a goner when I heard him call you that."

He smiled to himself as he remembered that time. "Honestly, I was happy for him when you two got together and then even more so when you agreed to marry him. I can genuinely say that I had never seen him so happy. And now here you both are, with two kids and another on the way."

Lion came outside and stood between my legs "And here's the first outcome, the future Don," I said gently.

"There's the little lion." He said with a soft smile as he looked at Lion. "What's up, buddy?"

"Where's Darius?" Lion asked.

"He's at his grandma's house right now," Azar replied. He smiled at the little boy. "You miss him?"

Lion nodded. He chuckled at the boy's response. "Don't worry, he'll be back soon and then the two of you can play together again."

"I was wondering, me and Reign have an appointment with the midwife at 2:30 pm. Is it possible for you could drive me to the company and babysit the Levi and Lion for us?" I asked gently.

Azar nodded immediately. "Yeah, no problem. I don't have anything going on today so I have no problem with watching them."

"Thank you," Lion put his head on the baby bump "I know you are tired baby, you had a restless night,".

He smiled and looked at Reina. "Is the pregnancy taking a toll on you?"

"A little, it's always the first and second trimester," I replied gently.

He nodded. "Well, you're a strong woman. I know you'll be just fine though. You and baby will be perfectly healthy before and after delivery."

"And you have Reign, don't you? I know he and I are both here to help you in whatever way you need. Especially with you being pregnant."
