Anastasia POV

Florence was out enjoying the nice weather as I was sitting in the guest room packing our bags. We both had forgotten to cancel her next ultrasound, and it would be a pain in the ass to reschedule. So we're flying home tonight, and landing tomorrow morning in Los Angeles.

I was kind of ready to go home, I missed our little sassy princess. I also was curious to see Lizzie and her bump, Florence's has grown a lot since we got here. She looks about seven months even though she's only nineteen weeks pregnant.

So it's very interesting, I missed out on her first pregnancy because I never knew she was. I wish she told me, we could've been together sooner. But life has other plans all the time, so it's weird.

I shook off the thoughts and continued, we had a couple hours until we had to leave. The sooner I pack, the sooner I can relax for the rest of the time before Antonio comes to pick us up.

I continued and before I knew it I was zipping out luggage shut. I let out a sigh of relief before making my way down the hall to go join her. I walked out of the villa and over to where she was laying, she looked at me with a soft smile as I sat down beside her.

"Hey darling, how are you feeling?", I ask as she cuddled into me as I laid back.

"I'm feeling okay, sad to be leaving but ready to be with Aurora and Billie", she tells me as she cuddled more into me.

I put my hand on her belly making her giddy as she looked at me with a soft expression. I kissed her forehead softly as we both just continued to look out at the view. I didn't realize someone was here until I heard a soft cough.

I looked to see Nonna Joy and Nonno August standing there with a gift bag. I was curious as I sat up alongside Florence a second later.

Nonna Joy handed Florence the bag before softly smiling, Florence opened it before pulling out cute little hats she had knitted together.

"I remember you both mentioning you live in Oxford, and I know England gets cold. So I made these for the babies, there's also another matching one for your eldest daughter", she says with a soft smile before Nonno August said, "We also want to give you both full permission to come stay at the one guest villa whenever you want. Just give Antonio a call and we'll have it prepared for you both".

"Oh that's too sweet, thank you both", Florence says as she slowly got up before hugging Nonna Joy.

"I cannot wait to meet your little ones, and your eldest. I hope you two take this to your advantage in those cold months, we'd love to have you five around. You've both have been lovely to have around and we all consider you family now", Nonna Joy says as we saw Antonio standing there.

"Well I apologize for the interruption, but we should get on the road for your flight. The small jet is ready and Stefania's jet is waiting at London's airport to bring you both home", he says as I stood up before we each hugged Stefania's grandparents.

"We will definitely be back, so thank you both", I tell them and they both smiled softly as I followed Florence inside.

. . .

We had landed in London a little while ago, we had time before our next flight. So we decided to venture around. The jet was ready, but Florence was hungry so we decided to go get food.

I was walking with her down the street towards New Bettola, an Italian restaurant in Slough, just a neighbour outside of Heathrow. Florence wanted Italian even though she said nothing could compare to Nonna Joy's cooking.
