"A man is not complete until he has seen the baby he has made" -Sammy Davis, Jr.
Lucas' POV.
A year later...
Glancing at my watch for the tenth time in the last hour I tried my best to conceal my frustration as one of my meetings dragged on. It was already close to 5 o'clock and with the evening traffic I wouldn't have made it home until 6. I couldn't help but think back to the time where I would work from 6 in the morning to 10 at night. But now it was different. I missed out on so much and being away from Evelyn especially kills me, and if I didn't make it home in time for dinner she would kill me. I have already skipped breakfast that morning due to a meeting with Ethan on teaming up for a next project and we barely spoke throughout the day as I had been in one meeting after the next. Sighing loudly managed to get the attention of everyone around the room unfortunately as they all looked at me in anxious bewilderment.
"Do you not like the idea Mr. Demachelis?" Questioned O'Connor, head of the Finance Department.
I had no idea what the hell he was talking about.
"What I do not like is the fact that we are all still here way past working hours." I stated.
"I apologize sir but this is the time your secretary gave to us." He quickly added in.
Sighing I got up and buttoned my jacket as everyone else followed suit, "I am aware but email me the presentation and Anderson will update me as we go along, now if you excuse me my family is awaiting me."
Briskly heading out the door and onto the elevator I was joined by Anderson. "Sir thank you so much for choosing me to assist you with this project."
"I want you to assist O'Conner and manage the funding but that's to be discussed another day." I replied, "Evelyn would be pissed at me for being late."
"She would understand." He said and I couldn't have helped but hoped.
Finally the elevator got to the bottom floor, "Dinner is tomorrow night at 8 Anderson. Don't be late."
Chuckling he replied, "I promise we won't be sir...have a good evening. Brandon and I are looking forward to tomorrow."
Thankfully the traffic was light and somehow Mark must have understood my desperation to get home as we pulled up to the gates in record time.
Walking through my house I could faintly hear the clatter and different sounds coming from the west wing of the house.
Stepping into the adjoining living room and kitchen I was welcomed by my favorite sight lying on her mat chewing one of her toys.
"Buonasera Emma." I greeted stepping closer and squatting down, "Won't you come to papa?" I asked opening my arms encouragingly.
She immediately looked up from her task at hand as a bright smile overtook her little features as she tried getting onto her hands and knees to crawl over.
"Come on." I coaxed, "You can do it." As she attempted creeping the short distance I reached out and pulled her into my arms as she cooed and made little noises of delight.
Raining kisses onto her chubby little cheeks and stomach she gurgled and giggled I felt my heart swell with pride, "Papa misses you throughout the day my sweet baby. Mio bambina piccola." I said hugging her to me as I inhaled her sweet baby scent.
"And she misses you to." Evelyn said coming towards us.
"And I especially missed you." I told her as I bent to place a kiss on her soft lips. As I was about to deepen the kiss Emma thumped her little fist in between us and made a sound in her throat recapturing our twin gazes filled with love as she pulled at my neck tie.
"You're late." Evelyn commented in a light tone absently stroking Emma's cheek. To light of a tone in fact. I knew I was going to be in trouble but luckily I knew how to make it up to her. Placing one last kiss on Emma's cheek I set her back onto her mat before I took a seat on the sofa and pulled my wife onto my lap. Desire flared in her honey brown specs sparking an immediate response in my body.
Huskily I began my apology drawing our faces closer, "Gattina mia I am sorry." Before reuniting our mouths together. She tasted like heaven and immediately opened up her warm mouth to welcome me inside. Pulling away all too soon I rested my forehead against hers as we both slowly inhaled savoring the moment.
"I am forgiven then." I smirked at her rubbing her exposed thighs seductively as the cold metal of my gold wedding band touched her warm skin causing her to shiver against me.
Biting her lips to conceal her huge smile she jumped of my lap to grab Emma from the floor before returning to her current position. Her entire little fist was in her mouth as she made little suckling sounds and stared at us both as it was returned with twin adoration of pure love and wonder.
"Are you hungry Emma?" I asked teasing her as I pried her small wet hands away from her mouth. Taking her from her mother's arms I lifted her into the air as I kissed her stomach again.
"Lucas she'll throw up." Evelyn warned laughing along with Emma's happy giggles of joy. Not even a moment later she soiled my jacket.
"Nothing I'm not used to." I teased at Evelyn enjoying the way she turned red from the reminder of her vomiting all over me.
"Shall we have dinner and put Emma to bed?" She asked laughing as she cleaned Emma up.
Later into the evening, Emma was soundly asleep in my arms as I continued rocking her. Staring down at her sleeping form it was still unbelievable how perfect she was. She had her mother's eyes and smile but my hair color and the cutest little button nose I sometimes worry if she was able to breathe properly. Just like her mother from the moment I saw her she immediately captured my heart. She looked like an angel with her rosy red lips in a fixed pout. She reminded me a lot of Evelyn and God help me for the later days when I have to warn boys of. Rocking her a bit more I then placed one last kiss onto her downy soft cheek before placing her into the crib. Placing the pacifier into her mouth, I stood over her cot watching her for a moment longer as I felt my heart burst with pride.
I didn't think that it was possible to love anyone as much as I loved Evelyn until I laid eyes on my daughter.
Sighing contently I stepped out the nursery, grabbing the baby monitor as I sauntered across the corridor into our room to find my wife awaiting me in bed. Pulling her into my arms I lazily kissed her inviting lips as we ended another day tangled up in each other's arms climbing the heights of pleasure. I had the most precious baby and the most beautiful wife. Since the day I proposed to Evelyn I couldn't have stopped thanking God for what he had given to me. I had everything I had ever wanted and so much more peacefully asleep in my arms. Without Evelyn I wouldn't have been the man I was today. She was after all my match.
A/N: SURPRISE!!!!!! So everyone, this beautiful journey has finally come to an end. It's such a bittersweet moment but I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you.
