"Miss Altimari, when I say push, push!" Said the doctor who was standing in front of my spread legs, waiting for this little miracle.
Not knowing if it was a girl or a boy, we decided to wait until the last day.
"Push!" shouted the doctor.
Beads of sweat were running down my face, from the beginning of labor.
"We can see the head! Miss Altimari, now the last push, as hard as you can." I grabbed the handles of the bed and squeezed as hard as I could. After a few seconds, I heard my baby cry. Something beautiful.
"Congratulations, it's a little boy." A son.
Tears of joy ran down my face as Damien rushed into the room as if he were being chased by I don't know how many dogs.
"Bella!" He ran to me and saw our son on my chest.
I thought Damien would reject the baby because it wasn't his, but in the last few months he's become very attached to the baby and has been with me for every ultrasound.
I'm happy about that, I feel at peace, because I know he'll love him like he's his own son.
"What are you going to name your son?" The doctor asked us.
We looked at each other and knew what name to give him, because we'd been talking about it for a while, and after a long time we found a name we liked.
"Alessandro Altimari."
"A beautiful and powerful name." The doctor replied, after which he took the baby in his arms and took it somewhere.
The nurses helped me get up after a short while and put me in a wheelchair and moved me to another room. I was given a pain pill and I took it right away.
I have to admit that this is a painful experience but at the same time so wonderful that the pain is forgotten very quickly. When that little body, that little ball of happiness comes into my hands, no problem exists at that moment, only him. He is the center of everything.
"Damien, I'm so tired." I told him and slowly started to close my eyes.
"Rest, I'm here, next to you." He said after which I closed my eyes.
I woke up, because of the shouting that was heard outside the room. The first thing that came to my mind was Alessandro and where he was. I didn't know what was happening, and I suddenly got up from the bed which was a big mistake because everything hurt down there.
I opened the door and I was in shock what I heard.
"You don't understand that he will never stop until he gets his heir." Heir? Who? Who is the heir?
"Who are you talking about?" I left the room and everyone fell silent at my question.
Damien came to me to help me and I caught his hand because I'm so weak on my legs.
"Bella, go back to the room, we'll talk later." My parents, his parents, my relatives and his were standing in the hallway.
What's all this for?
"You have one second to tell me what's going on, we agreed not to do any covered operations and that's exactly what you're doing." I said angrily.
I just gave birth and we already have problems.
"Santiago wants our son. He said he'll take him at any cost because he's the heir to the Spanish mafia." I was so angry when I heard what Damien said.
He will never get Alessandro.
I have to stay strong, and I have to show them that I'm stronger than they think.
"They'll get my son through my death. I'll defend him until my last breath." I replied angrily while the others didn't even look at me but lowered their heads to the floor.
That's what I thought.
"Alessandro is my child, and my heir, not his. Let him know that. He'll never get close to Alessandro. Increase security at the mansion, I don't want him anywhere near. He's very stupid if he thinks he can achieve anything with those threats. He'll never see Alessandro." I went back to my room all stressed and nervous.
This is not something that can be forgotten or ignored. This is a huge problem and Santiago is a person who will not stop until he gets what he wants. I will do everything in my power to stop him.
"Bella.." Damien entered the room and came in front of me. He placed his hands on either side of my face and connected our lips. It all started with a gentle kiss to a passionate one.
I really want to feel his touch on my body, but we have to wait for recovery.
"Damien.. I fucking want you." I told him between kisses.
"When you recover, I will eat you whole, you will feel my tongue on every part of your body, I will work your pussy like never before. Day and night. There will be no room for fatigue. Now rest and don't bother with the things that are up to me to solve. Your only task is to make sure Alessandro has everything he needs, and that is you. I am here to protect you and keep you safe from enemies like Santiago." He said so sincerely that tears came to my eyes.
Damien is everything in my life, like my son Alessandro. Without them, none of this is worth it. This whole fight was for the two of them.
When I remember the days when we hated each other, we couldn't stand each other, in fact, love grew from that, it was hidden, we didn't see it. But as they say, love conquers all, so here we are.
"Damien, I love you." I told him and hugged him.
"I love you too, Isabella, more than anything in this world." He kissed my forehead.
I went to bed and he left the room. I hope I can go home with Alessandro tomorrow because I don't feel like being in the hospital. I had to rest my whole pregnancy, everyone was around me all day. I need peace and to be alone.
I need to get my strength back because for what's coming I'm going to need a lot more strength than I have now.
The war is starting soon, and I'll be there and ready 100 percent.
