Julietta POV

As I being to wake I stretch a little and reach out my arms for the man who had become the love of my life only to find an empty space.

Waking up alone in bed in what was now our home was not how I had expected our first day home after such a magical romantic trip.

Getting out of bed I throw on some clothes, tidy my hair and then head for the stairs to search for my man. As I step out on to the lending I can hear excited Chatter coming from downstairs.

I immediately recognise the voices as Damian and his mom Diana. Smiling I make my way dowstairs to them, she had  obviously decided she didn't want to wait any longer to see us both.

"Here she is" Damian smiles wrapping his arm around me as I nestle into his side "good morning mi amor"

"Good morning" I smile "Good morning Diana it's lovely to see you"

"Oh now you can call me mama" she smiles "come give me a hug" she says opening her arms

I hug her and she holds me tightly as she rubs my back before finally letting go.

"Damian go make some tea, Julietta and I have much to talk about" she says linking arms with me and heading for the living room.

"But ma......" He whines

"No buts.......tea.......now" she says and he just nods and heads to the kitchen

"You know I always knew you two would end up together" she smiles as we sit down "and now look  I'm gaining a daughter and I'm going to be an abuela"

"Really? I always knew he was the one I was just never sure of we would ever be" I say "i count myself very lucky it all worked out"

"I can't still remember the day he first met you" she smiles

"Ma don't.............." He whines as he puts the tray down

"Oh hush" she laughs "he came home that night and he said to me........mama she's beautiful like an angel" he looked like he was floating on air. I told him he should ask you on a date but he spouted some rubbish about bro code. Anyway I told him, no code can control what you feel in your heart, the heart wants what it wants and if she is what you want you fight for her"

"Thanks mama now she probably thinks I'm some kind of dork" he says rolling his eyes "and before you say it i know I should have fought harder"

"Not at all I think it's adorable" I smile

"So let's see the pictures from your engagement" she smiles "and then you can tell me all about his speech" she says excitedly

Damian POV

As I watch my mom and Jules look through the photos both of the beaming I couldn't help but wonder if my mom had come here purely to embarass me. Well at least she hasn't broken out the baby photos that's something at least.

Just then I hear Jules saying the exact words I said to her when I proposed and I'm taken right back to that moment and I find myself wishing we were still there.

"I always knew he was a softy romantic" she smiles and I just roll my eyes "so have you set a date or made any plans?"

"No date but we will be getting married where we got engaged" I say and Jules looks at me with wide eyes

"You mean............."

"Yes they do weddings" I smile as she throws her arms around me

"I love you" she says kissing me lovingly "erm.....with regards to a date we are thinking after the baby is born so the baby can be a part of it"

"And how is baby doing?" She asks excitedly "do we know the gender yet"

"Not yet" Jules smiles "but we do have a boys name picked out, we just need a girls name"

"And no we won't tell you, we are waiting till we know" I jump in

"Fair enough" she smiles "Alright now I have seen you both and I know everything is fine I will leave you both to it"

"But what about the tea you had me make?" I ask as she gets up

"Oh that was for Julietta" she smiles "you need to take good care of her"

"You know I will" I say standing to give her a hug "she's everything to me mama"

"I know" she whispers

As my mom leaves Jules pats the space beside her for me to sit next to her. Sitting down she wraps her arms around mine and rests her head on my shoulder.

"So we have a boys name huh?" I ask kissing her temple

"Yeah I settled on the two you suggested last night" she says "i love them both and they sound good together"

"Oh see now I hope we are having a boy so we can use them" I say

"If not we save them for the next one" she smiles

"Next one?" I say looking down at her and she grins

"Yeah I'd like at least two babies with you" she says

"Well I'm sure that can be arranged" I smirk "how long do you have to wait after this one is born to get pregnant again?" I ask placing a hand on her small bump and placing a long kiss on her lips

"At least 18 months" she chuckles "but we can start practicing after 6 weeks"

"Sounds like a plan" I smile "baby is born, and then I have 18 months to make you my wife and then I get you pregnant again"

"You know I can't believe Rhea still hasn't noticed the scan picture in the photos" she laughs "maybe we need to make it more obvious for her"

"I'm sure we can come up with something" I smile "but right now it want to give my fiancée some attention" I say kissing her lips before trailing my lips down her neck to her collar bone
