The warm August breeze gently blew pass my face as I stared out the window, watching the trees swish by as we got closer to the house.

This week has been the worst week with me having morning sickness every morning and Priyana dying. "Are you okay?" Gigi asked worriedly. "You're awfully quite back there." I glanced up to to see her looking me threw the car side mirror.

I sighed. "Yeah, I'm just nervous to see Gio." I confessed. I had the my baby's ultrasound image in my hands, rubbing my thumb over it to comfort me. Which is ironic since I didn't even want to keep it at first.

Gigi scoffed. "You've seen him for twelve years almost non-stop, I think you should be accustom to seeing that toad."

I shook my head. "It's not that... it's just I left not knowing I'm pregnant and now I'm with his baby's growing inside me. I said trying to make some sense of what was going on in my brain. "How do I even tell him, you never know how he can react. What if he-"

My sentence was cut when I felt a hand interlink with mine. "Don't start questioning yourself. You don't have to tell him until you're prepped and ready." Catalaya chimed. "None of us here is going to say anything and I'm sure no one is going to be running after you admit anything either. However people are going to find out in couple month. A little tummy is already showing." She said untwisting our fingers and bringing it to my harden stomach.

Since the guys were planning a small get together the girls decided to come straight to the main house instead of taking the long trip if going home and coming back and let their husband bring the kids and their clothes. Therefore everyone was at a the house already. Now we were only waiting for Dante. And in that time the 10 bedroom mansion was going to be filled with 16 and one ninth Esposito's and me.

"I know but... I don't know. Now that I've decided to keep the baby I have to revamp whole life. I need a permanent place to live. Preferably far away from here, where bullets and knives won't be flying at any given minute. I need money. Therefore I need a job to support us." I ranted, as my mind swirled with worries. "I have to get a crib, clothes, pampers, wipes, bibs, bottles, car seat, baby lotions, a pram and other shit I don't know about." I slouched down in the car seat. "I don't think I'm ready for this."

"Its seems to me that you more than ready." Sasha stared from the passenger seat. "When I was pregnant with Daniella, I didn't start worrying about shit until I was at least six to seven months, so the fact that your planning already shows that your are."

"Plus we have seven months to plan for this." Gigi added. "You don't need a job right now and each one of us owns at least two houses that no one knows about." Gigi assured me. I caught her eyes in the rear view mirror and smiled, which she returned. "Gio and I have a permanent job and enough money saved for all of us to live more than comfortably until we at least 100. So you don't need to worry."

Gigi pulled up in the driveway and shut off the car, leaving us to seat in silence with one tiny bulb on top our head to give us light. "But I want to earn for myself. As well as, you and Gio's permanent jobs are to kidnap, kill assassinate, torture and many more illegal activities. That's not really the safest job in the world." I argued. Even though I have relied on the Espositos as a sole financial providers, now that I was thinking about it, I was way to dependent. I needed to earn for myself. "So god forbid something happens to you guys I won't have much to support us."

Gigi angled her body to put her face through the two fronts seats. "First of all," She started popping her tongue, "that kid will have have nine rich uncles, that will love him or her, that will be willing to give y'all all that you guys need. Also you have an untouched $100,000 inheritance from your moms death. Ontop of around $2 million will be wired to your back in small intervals of $10,000 a month to support from me if I was to die before you." She listed, making me realise how fortunate I really was. "Plus Gio put you as the person that gets everything he owns in his will, so your set for life really. And your a smart girl I know that you can succeed without us even though we are going no where anytime soon. As you like to say we Espositos are like hood roaches that never know when to leave." She told me causing me to laughed laugh.
