The World (Sequel to International)

Looked After

September 2031

Mapi's POV:

"Ready?" I looked at my wife. 

"We have no choice now, Mapi. I'm getting a belly." She sighed. 

"Can I be honest?" She looked at me. "I think you get more and more beautiful every time I see you. And when you're pregnant? It's double the beauty. You and our little baby." I smiled.

She laughed. "I hate you." 

Felicia and Luca were still with Mapi's parents. We went to get them when we got back from Italy. They wanted more time with their grandkids.

Who are we to argue? 

We drove to Leila's and knocked on the door. 

"Hi!" 

"Dario!" Mariana smiled. "Take me to your parents."

"Which one?"

"The responsible one." 

"She's in the kitchen." He said. He turned to me. "She's in the living room."

"Oh, nephew." I wiped away a fake tear. "You know me so well." I got to the living room. "LEILA!" 

"MAPI!"

"Jesus Christ." Alexia sighed. "There's two of them now."

Lorenzo looked at his mother. "Jesus Christ." 

"Come here, Enzo." Nahikari walked over and took him. "Get away from the crazy people."

Virginia watched her walk away and froze. "Do I want a ba-" She shook her head. "No. Noooo." 

Mariana's POV:

I walked over to Alexia. "Can I talk to you?"

"Always." We walked away from everyone. "What's up?"

"You told me to tell you right away. It's a few weeks late but we just wanted to make sure."

"No way." She smiled. "Are you?"

"Yep." I laughed.

"Mari!" She hugged me. "How long?" 

"16 weeks." I smiled. 

"How's Mapi?"

"Very excited." I laughed. "We both are."

"Do the kids know?"

"Not yet. Gabriel is coming to visit in a few weeks. We're telling them all then."

"You're telling them today right?" I nodded. "Want to sit near me? More protection?"

"Of course." 

We all sat together and ate. "This is nice." Jenni smiled. 

"It is." Lola said. She turned to me. "What's going on with you?" She smirked.

"HOW!"

"AGAIN!!!! OH MY GOD!" She laughed.

"I'm confused." Mariona said.

I looked at Mapi. "Let's go for it."

"I'm pregnant." I said. "Lola, how do you know this shit?"

"I don't know." She continued to laugh.

"How far along?" Leila asked.

We answered all the questions and finished eating.

I stood outside with Virginia. "Another baby." She said.
