You

Mattia and I walk out of the hospital, thanking all the doctors as we leave, and set out to the car.

——

You: Tia?
Mattia: Yes my love?
You: Who's house are we living at?
He looks back at me and Ava and raises his brows as he thinks.
Mattia: Which house is the safest do you think?
You: Kris.
He hums in response.
You: Which house is safer, ours or theirs?
Kris: Neither, you both work for the mafia.
He cackles at his own joke but quickly gets serious once again.
Kris: If I was to pick one, it would be yours Ms. Montoya. The only thing you'd have to watch would be the stairs.
You: Got it—
I turn to look at my sleeping baby and speak to Mattia.
You: Guess you're moving in.
I smirk up at him.
Mattia: I guess I am.

We pull up to the house and walk in to see someone we weren't expecting.
You: Who the hell let you in?
Alondra: I let myself in, you think I'm not gonna see my brothers baby?
You: No, you're not.
She starts getting closer to me, I look her up and down and notice she's got her gun drawn, now why would she need that?
Mattia: Alondra, I thought I made it clear—
Alondra: Dude, I just wanna see my niece.
I hold Ava away from her and notice she gets really mad.
Alondra: Come on Layla—
She now points the gun at me.
Alondra: Let me see the kid.
Mattia now gets in the way and kicks the gun out of her hand.
Mattia: Are you fucking insane?! Get out!
He starts pushing her and shoving her until she's completely out the door and slams it in her face, he comes back over to us and takes a long deep breath.

Mattia: I swear if that girl ever comes near either of you again—
You: It's fine, we're fine. We can send my sister on her again if we need too.
He laughs slightly as his arm snakes around my shoulders.
Mattia: Should we go set everything up in the room?
I nod.
You: I'll have Alex and Mari watch her.

We walk upstairs and knock on Alex's door, she opens it quickly.
Alex: Yay you're back!
She side hugs me and hugs Mattia tightly.
Alex: And you brought my favorite !
You: Oh, we weren't supposed to leave her there?
She rolls her eyes at my sarcasm.
You, Can you and Mari watch her for a while? We gotta get my room situated.
Alex: Umm of course! Gimme!
I place her in Alex's arms and Mattia and I walk away to my room.

Alex

Mari comes into the room and let's out an almost silent squeal.
Mari: She looks just like Layla.
You: No way, she's all Mattia. Look at her nose.
Mari: But look at the rest of her—
A soft knock at the door bring our attention away from the baby.
You: It's open.
Reese and Grace stand in the doorway and squeak as they see the little one on the bed. They surround us and we all stare at the creature right in front of us.

—

Kai: I want one.
You: Do you know how much work they are?
Kai: Yes, and I don't care, I still want one.
He smirks at me and I roll my eyes.
You: We'll see.
She looks so peaceful sleeping, almost doll like. We all stare at her some more until she's starts to fuss and wake up, I lift her tiny body up and rock her back and forth while quietly shushing her.
Mari: You're really good with kids huh?

A couple months later

You

You: Zip the back for me please.
Mari zips my dress and looks at my reflection in the mirror.
Mari: You look stunning, literally.
Alex: Mattia's a very lucky guy that he's getting to marry all this.
We giggle as Reese pokes her head into the room.
Reese: Oh damn, you're hot.
You: I hate you.
Reese: Can I marry you instead of Mattia?
You: Omg stop, don't make me act up.
I wink and she just laughs.
You: Where's my baby?
Reese: Grace and Alejandro haven't given her up in like 3 hours, I'm pretty sure they're gonna make one tonight.
I chuckle.
You: Is she being nice? Because she's been mean lately.
Reese: Ava or grace?
You: Both.
Mari laughs.
Reese: They're being nice today, kinda—
Kai: Hey sorry too...
He stops mid sentence and shoots me a love filled smile.
Kai: You look beautiful Lay, he's gonna literally drop dead when he sees you.
You: I'm so nervous.
Kai: Don't be—
He holds his arm out and I link mine with his.
Kai: All you have to do is look pretty and not say the wrong name at the alter (if you don't get this from friends—)
I giggle.
You: Ok, let's do this.

The girls speed out before Kai and I and go stand with the grooms men, I look over at Grace and Alejandro who are playing and loving on my baby, it beings a smile to my face. Kairi volunteered to walk my down the isle since my dad isn't here to do it, I still can't believe he'd do that for me.

I take a deep breath and try my hardest not to trip on this dress and feel everyone's eyes on me. I look around slightly as I walk down and am astonished at how far we've all come, group's of foes have come together for me and Mattia, that's amazing. I look ahead at Mattia and smile as does he. Me and Kai stop just in front of him and I hug him tightly.
You: Thank you Kai.
Kai: Anything for you.
I smile at him before walking up and standing across from Mattia, we both stare into each other's eyes and just smile as the minister begins the process.

—

Minister: May I have the rings?
My sister hands them to him and he hands them to us.
Minister: Layla, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and in health, til death do you part.
You: I do.
I slide the ring onto his finger and smile until my nerves disappear.
Minister: Mattia, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? In sickness and in health, til death do you part?
Mattia: I do.
He places the ring on my finger and smiles at me.
Minister: Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss you bride.
The minister can't even finish the sentence before Mattia presses his lips to mine as the room erupts in sound. We look over at everyone and smile.

We really just did that.
