The Death of Me | A mafia story

Chapter 7 - Unexpected news

[AS ALWAYS, NOT EDITED ]

Cara's POV

"I couldn't sleep without you."

It hurts.

It shouldn't but it hurts so damn much.

You have to get used to it. Alex, you have to get used to continue your whole life without me, not just sleeping.

I turned myself in his arms so i can see his face, "Ale-"

He raised an eyebrow and directly interrupted me, "We'll discuss it in the morning." He said, "Go back to sleep now."

I didn't have the energy in me to argue, so i just nodded and turned around. His hand around me touching my baby bump, I placed mine over his and held it as i closed my eyes and tried to have one last peaceful sleep.

The morning came faster than it should, i opened my eyes slightly then closed them when the morning light hit me, i blinked and opened them again.

I placed my hand under my face as my gaze traveled to Alex beside me.

He was awake, his eyes glaring at my belly.

Yes, glaring.

He looked at me with an annoyed expression, "Why she is moving in the freaking morning ?" He said, his voice still hoarse from sleeping.

"She woke me up." He said and shot another glare toward my belly.

I chuckled lightly at how he looks so serious, i shook my head, "How did she wake you ?"

"I felt something poking my stomach." He said, his eyes narrowed, "If she keep doing that, i am making you sleep on the couch."

I chuckled and inched a bit more closer, "You are crazy." I said as i rested my head over his chest feeling the steady beats of his heart.

He placed his hand over my hair and gently stroked it, i closed my eyes and let out a breath.

My baby girl moved again, my lips pulled up in a smile as i heard Alex letting out a sigh, "Oh my f*ck." He muttered with an irritated tone.

And then it hit me, i pulled away from Alex and met his eyes, "We didn't decide what we gonna name her." I said. It totally skipped my mind.

His eyebrows pulled together, "Oh shit yeah, we have to name her." He said as he tried to sit down.

I sat down as well as i tried to think it through, "I don't have any name in mind." I said. I really can't think of a name.

"Neither do i." Alex said, he pursed his lips and looked like he is thinking about it as well. He then broke into a smile, "Can't we name her Katherine." He said.

I chuckled, "You really do love Katherine." I said and shook my head.

He smiled, "Yeah." He placed his hands behind his head, "She is my sweetheart."

I smiled at that, because a sound in my head whispered --that Katherine will definitely take care of him when i go. I believed in that, and it made me a bit more comfortable. He won't be alone. He definitely won't.
