The months passed, Mila was getting bigger and bigger each day and we all couldn't wait for her baby girl to come out.

James and Mila had grown closer and closer as the time passed, and even if at first Enzo wasn't really happy about it, when he saw how well James took care of her, he couldn't help but feel happy for his little sister, knowing she had found what she needed and deserved in James.

Enzo would still scowl here and there when he would see them embrace or whenever James would kiss her lips softly.

After I left the hospital everything calmed down, no more threats, for now at least, and Enzo looked to be so much more present with me, with the family. Nugget had grown also, being almost a year old, he wasn't so little anymore, but I loved him so much still.

He was my partner for long walks on the beach, walks around the estate and just great company when I would lay on the sofa or needed a snack and would share with him.

My parents sold our old house, I was sad seeing as it's where I had grown up, but they deserved a fresh start after everything. I saw them more regularly then ever before and I was happy that finally they were right where they should be acting how they should be and not on business trip everyday of the year.

Enzo kept on working from home, the place was still full of guys with guns, but they had all become background extras to me at this point, I was happy where I was, with who I was and that's what mattered. Enzo tried to not go on site as much, whenever there were problems with shipments, or other stuff, he would send Matteo and Lorenzo.

Life had been good for the past months and it felt refreshing. I was now standing in my niece's nursery, Mila had asked me to help her paint the walls, she wanted to draw different characters and universes on the wall, with different kind of blush pink, some lighter and some darker.

I was drawing Pooh bear while she was drawing hills and on top of one the Disney World castle. We had used a video projector to help with the designs, I mean I just couldn't draw for the life of me so I needed the help. I looked around the room, the other side painted with small details of Narnia, Peter Pan, Cinderella and other iconic movies. It all looked so good, I couldn't wait for the little bean to be there.

Once we were satisfied we decided to take showers and meet in the cinema room to relax a bit as the boys had been out since the morning, but Enzo had promised me it wasn't for business.

Once I was comfy in my pajamas, I made my way to the kitchen to ask the chef if he could prepare us some snacks. I would totally have done it myself usually, but I felt like I would collapse at any time, my legs were so shaky from crouching down to paint.

"Ready to watch Notting Hill?" Mila asked me once we were situated on the big couches in the cinema room, her belly looking humongous, but still she looked so pretty and cute, she was taking this pregnancy like a champ and I knew how hard it had been at the fist five months.
