Mi Náufrago

Life's First Breath

*In Italy 2 weeks later*
Luna's POV:

"I don't think it was a good idea to even come all the way here just for the baby's room." Ignazio told me as he let our bags on the floor near the entrance of what was my home in Sicily.

"If I don't come to supervise how the room is going, I won't be in peace or at ease. Plus, I'm off from school and work for the summer." I said. "Perla will finish up the room back in Miami, now we should start with his second room."

"Fine, but we are going back to Miami once you have everything supervised and done." Nazio said and I went to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"I have no idea how you have managed my weird moods throughout this pregnancy." I told him. "But you really shouldn't be with me 24/7. I can do everything on my own."

"Not with that belly." He said and I looked at my bump. It was immense now and I would be due in a couple of weeks.

"My feet are a bit swollen." I noticed my socks looked like if they were too stretched out.

"It was the long flight and time you were seated. Here, let me bring you some warm water in a bucket so you soak your feet. Be right back." Ignazio left running.

I chuckled and decided to look around the house as I had only seen it via Skype with Francis, Gianluca and Maria. They were the ones helping me out decorate the house and the baby's room.

Everything looked so beautiful, it almost seemed as if I was walking in one of those pictures from the home magazines. I even felt proud at how everything was ready. "There you are. Here, sit down put you feet in." Ignazio said as he appeared on the entrance of the room I was.

I did as told and felt better. "I'll let you rest up while I go unpack. If you need anything just shout." He said and left me alone in the living room.

He has been a true guardian angel to me and I keep repeating it to him but for me it just feels so little to say after everything he has done for me. Nazio would just blush as I said such thing that lately I would just tease him about his reaction.

A few minutes passed and I put bucket outside and cleaned up a bit. I went up the stairs and looked for Ignazio. He wasn't in his bedroom so I went to my room. Nothing. I heard some noises coming from the baby's room so I went across the hall and saw that he had brought two of the sample templates of the paint I had been trying to decide.

"You really brought both colors I was indecisive about?" I asked and he got startled. I giggled as I walked into the room and he only looked down at the two templates.

I grabbed both of his hands and extended them towards the only blank wall of the room. "I think the light green will do but it doesn't really go with the colors of the other walls." Nazio began to say.

I tilted my head to try and see it through his angle. "Yeah but then if we put the darker shade, the sun is going to make the..." I stopped mid sentence.

"What?"

"Wait, give that." I said and got a tiny bit of both of the colors and added a pinch of leftover yellow paint.

"Woah! Now that's a nice color.... Perfect for the sun to shine on!" He noticed what I wanted and helped me paint a bit on a small place in the middle of the wall.

"Perfect!" We both exclaimed and laughed.

"I'll call Francis so he can get us that exact color so we can start painting." He said.

"Yes. And I have the perfect decoration for this wall too, other than putting the rocking chair and his dresser here." I said as I was imagining how the room was going to end up looking. "And Maria will be helping me out with that."
