Epilogue

Scarlett P.O.V

"Mom! Dominic keeps on bothering me!" I shook my head when I hear Dante complaining about his little brother. Dominic seriously loves to disturb his older brother and make him mad. "Dominic! What did I tell you about disturbing you're your brother," I said. I turn around when I hear footsteps come into the kitchen. I see that Dominic is pouting and Dante has a smug look on his face.

"Not to mama," he says with an adorable pout. "Then don't do it again or I will tell daddy. This will be your last warning," I warn him trying not to cave from his adorableness. Dominic shook his head furiously as he knows he will get a punishment from his daddy if his daddy knows he has been naughty. "Ok now play nice you two," I said to the both of them.

They both nod their heads at me and run out of the kitchen. I sigh, taking care of two boys is quite hard especially when of them is a troublemaker that likes to disturb his brother. I can't believe that Dominic is only three years old and he is already this naughty I don't want to think about when he is older. I just hope he doesn't cause trouble at school with his behavior.

I guess that's partially my fault since I do tend to spoil both of my sons. I will have to stop doing that and be more strict with them if I don't want them to act like brats. Dominic is even smart enough to use his puppy dog eyes whenever he wants something and he knows that I will give in. I don't even know where he learn to do the puppy dog eyes from.

Ricardo has scold me a few times about giving him what he wants and spoiling him. I don't know how he can resist it when Dominic gives him that look. That's why he always comes to me when he wants something, as he will know I will get it for him while his daddy won't. But know I learn to try and not give in to his looks by not looking at his eyes and so far it's working.



It's been four years since I married Ricardo and so far my life has been great. I was bless with a beautiful son three years ago. I wanted another child and Ricardo agreed with me so that is how Dominic came to be. We both pick the name Dominic for him because we both like the name and we wanted both of our sons to start with the same letter. Being pregnant with Dominic was a new and wonderful experience.

Everything went smoothly and I gave birth to him as the doctor predicted. I didn't have major mood swings but I did have cravings for weird foods and Ricardo was glad I didn't have crazy mood swings like some women. Dante was also excited to be a big brother and constantly talks to my belly everyday. I find it so cute how he would talk with my belly about all the things he will teach Dominic.

I of course got teary eyed whenever he does that. When I got near my due date Dante would keep on asking when can he meet his baby brother and the first thing he said when he first saw Dominic was, "Hi Dominic I am your big brother and I will always protect you." I got so emotional when he said that I cried and hug Dante to me very tightly whispering how much I love him.

Dante is a very good brother towards Dominic even though he gets very upset with Dominic when Dominic disturbs him. Dante is already in the second grade right now and let me tell you is a genius. In all his test he scores As and Ricardo is very proud of him. Ricardo is certain that Dante will be the one to take over the company when he grows up.

I didn't disagree with him as Dominic seriously does not like to learn and is only interested in playing around. I have tried to teach him some things like ABC but he simply won't pay attention. I know he is smart as he is already able to spell his name and count to ten but he is just lazy to learn new things that does not involve toys and electronic devices.

Ricardo has to force Dominic to learn and every time he would come crying to me about his daddy not letting him play. I had to compromise with Ricardo that Dominic will learn when he is in preschool and let him enjoy playing around for now. Ricardo reluctantly agrees with me and doesn't disturb him anymore. However Dominic loves to draw and paint things.

He sit quietly for and hour just drawing or painting. His paintings are not bad for a kid his age and I get the feeling that he has a talent for painting. I told this to Ricardo and he said we will just have to wait until he is older to find out. I ask Ricardo if he is okay if Dominic wants to be a painter when he grows up.



Ricardo said he wouldn't mind as long as he has a degree to get a stable job to support himself. I nod my head as that does sounds fair and I'm glad he is not the type that will force the kids to be what he wants them to be. But that is in the future and I am just taking things one day at a time. To just have fun and make memories raising my kids and enjoy my married life with my loving husband.

He never fails to tell and shoes me everyday about how much he loves me. I feel so cherished and loved with him. I am living the dream life that many women dream to have. I thank god everyday for giving me the miracle of meeting my husband and granting us two beautiful sons even though Dante is not my biological son I still think of him as my son.

"What are you thinking about." I suddenly heard Ricardo whispering in my ears and feel his hand hugging my round stomach. "Oh! You startle me Ricardo," I lightly scolds him. "Sorry but you look to be in deep thought and I wanted to get your attention. How is my baby girl doing?" Ricardo asks while gently caressing my stomach and I relax into his arms.

"She's doing fine. She is just resting since she move around a lot the whole day and she even played with Dominic. Dominic was so excited when he saw his sister's foot through my stomach," I inform him closing my eyes as he massages my back. "That's wonderful. Why don't you sit down at the dining table and let me carry all the food and set the table ok."

My feet is already starting to hurt from standing for too long so I agree with him and let him lead me to the dining room. He gently helps me sit on my chair before walking back to the kitchen to get the food. Once all the food, plates, cups, and utensils is on the table Ricardo calls the boys to come and eat dinner. A few seconds later I hear Dante and Dominic running and enter the dining area.

"Lasagna!" Dante screams when he sees the lasagna on the table. Of course that is the first thing he sees. Even until now he stills loves lasagna and I don't know how he doesn't get bored with it since he eats it like three times a week. But I cook lasagna tonight because he got the highest score in his grade for all his test. I couldn't be more proud of his accomplishment.

Ricardo also bought Dante a present for his achievement. I don't know what it is as he didn't tell me but I know it will be something expensive and that Dante likes. Dante is really into building things and games that requires you to use your brains. I mean he can already solve a 1000 piece puzzle.



Even I can't solve a 1000 piece puzzle, granted it takes him a few days to finish it but we still praise him. He is always happy when Ricardo and me praise him with something so he would always do things that will make us praise him. Though this makes Dominic jealous and Ricardo would praise him whenever he finish painting or drawing something.

I am so lucky to have two talented son. I smile at my family as I look at them and in another one month we will have a new addition to the family. Ricardo let me choose her name and after some research I decided to name her Sadie as it means princess in Hebrew. She will be the princess of the family with two protective older brothers. Ricardo loves the name, as it is unique.

That is also another reason why I chose this name, as I want my kids to have a unique name. Also because I wanted a name that stars with an S to honor my sister's memories as her name started with an S. So here I am enjoying my life with my family and going through my pregnancy one day at a time. Even though I can't wait to meet my daughter I am still a bit sad as kids grows up so fast.

Now I understand how my mom feels watching her daughters live the house and creating our own lives. I shook the depressing though out of my mind as I still have a decade before I have to worry about them living the house. After we finish dinner Ricardo and Dante helps clearing up the table and washing the plates, cups, and utensils while Ricardo told me to rest and watch TV.

I just give him an indulgent smile at his worry tone and follow what he says. He helps me get up from my chair and leads me slowly to the living room. Once there he gently sits me down on the couch and I sigh in relief and the soft feeling of the couch. "Thank you," I said giving him a kiss on the lips. "Your welcome. Rest here I will be right back." I nod my head at him and then he leave to go to the kitchen.

"Mama open Disney," Dominic asks me while giving me the remote. "Sure," I said smiling at him. I take the remote he gave me and open the TV and press the number 6, 1 and 5 for the Disney channel. When the Disney channel appears on the TV Dominic is sitting down quietly watching the TV. He is obsesses with all the cartoons that is on Disney channel.

I let him watch it as he learns things from watching the cartoons so it's all good. That is the only reason why Ricardo lets him watch TV a lot. Though I can understand Dominic's fascination, as I myself still like to watch Disney channel even though I am already an adult.



So whenever Dominic is watching TV I watching TV also. As I am watching the TV I suddenly feel stomach contract painfully. I gasp in pain and feel liquid drip down my thighs. I feel myself pale as that means I am in labor and the baby is coming earlier than expected. "Mama what happen," I hear Dominic ask me through my intense pain. "C-an you c-call daddy please," I ask him stuttering as the contractions makes me gasp in pain and I can feel tears falling from my eyes.

Giving birth is the most painful thing I have ever experience in my life but I always know that the pain is only temporary and that I will get to hold my child after all the pain. As soon as I hear my child screaming loudly I know it was all worth it. "Honey, what's wrong?" Ricardo ask me in a very worried tone. "The baby is coming." Is all I was able to say as the pain is making it hard to talk.

Ricardo knows what I mean and he face pale a little. "But the baby is not due until next month!" Ricardo freaks out and I mange out a weak chuckle when I see him freaking out and not thinking clearly. "Ricardo I know the baby is due next month but she wants to come out now," I tell him through clench teeth. That snaps him out of his panicking and picks me up into his arms and quickly carries me to the car, while also telling Dante to grab Dominic and follow daddy to the car.

Ricardo P.O.V

Our baby girl is coming to soon and I was not prepared when I came into the living room after Dominic running into the kitchen to say that something is wrong with Scarlett that she is in labor. I was freaking out about what to do when Scarlett manage to make me snap out of my panic and I quickly lifted her in my arms and ask Dante to grab Dominic and follow me to the car.

So here I am driving as fast and as safe as possible to the hospital. Throughout the car ride I can hear Scarlett's quiet pants and groans of pain. I wince every time I hear her gasp and groan in pain because I know she is trying to be quiet as to not scare the kids anymore than they already are. "Is Sadie going to be born now," I hear Dante ask me. "Yes she is son," I answer him.

Not surprise that he knows as he saw Scarlett in pain like this when she was about to give birth to Dominic. "I meet Sadie today," Dominic ask us excitedly. "Yes you are nick. You will be a big brother today," I answer him. "Yay! I be good big brother," he shouts happily. I smile at him through the mirror. I know that he does not like to be the youngest in the family as we tend to baby him and not let him do certain things that Dante does.



He will be sad to know that even after Sadie is born he still wont be able to do certain things that his big brother gets to do and that Scarlett will still baby him. But I am seriously proud to be a father of two talented and wonderful sons. Even though Dominic feels like I don't love him because I don't praise him as often as I do Dante I love both of them the same.

Its just that Dante shares the same interest as me and I am happy whenever he mange to excel in his studies. However I know that Dominic will excel in the art department as I have all the pictures he drew for me and Scarlett framed and hanging all around my room. Every single thing that he drew I keep it as he is able to draw almost as good as a twelve year old and he is only three.

Like I told Scarlett I don't mind if he wants to be an artist when he grows up as long as he goes to college and gets a stable job to support himself then he can do whatever his heart desires. As I won't stop him from doing what he wants as that will only lead him rebelling and hating me and I never want that to happen with any of my children. That's why I sat down and talk with Dante about whether he really wants to be a businessman so that is why is working so hard in his studies or that he is pressured to be like me.

Dante explain that he himself really wants to be a businessman and that he is not pressured into doing anything. So of course I was really happy when I heard that and hug Dante. Dominic saw me hugging Dante and went crying to his mom saying that I love Dante more. Then I had to talk with Dominic alone and explain why I am showing more attention to Dante as best I could as he is only three years old and can't understand complicated things.

But he understands me and apologize for thinking I love Dante more. Of course I forgave him and give him a hug. I snap out of my thoughts when I see the hospital in sight and focus on driving until I reach the entrance. As soon as I am in front of the entrance I switch off the engine and quickly got out of the car and run to my wife and open the door.

I carefully lifted her in my arms tossing my car keys to the valet. When I turn around there is a nurse with a wheelchair coming. When she reach me I carefully put a panting Scarlett on it and she is quickly wheeled off. Then I open the car door for Dante and Dominic and help Dominic to open his seatbelt before carrying him and holding Dante's hand to where Scarlett is located. I left Dante and Dominic and the play area where there are nurses watching over them.



Once I am sure they are going to be okay I rush to where my wife is. Before I can go in the room the doctor asks me to wear the scrubs before entering the room. So I wear it in a few seconds then I am by Scarlett side as she gasp and groans loudly through her contractions. "Okay Mrs. Giovanni you are ten millimeters dilated, so when I count to three you push," the doctor instruct Scarlett.

Scarlett is only able too nod her head tiredly to show that she understood. "Okay 1 2 3!" I hear Scarlett screams as she push when the doctor said three. "Again 1 2 3!" Cue Scarlett screaming in pain as she push our baby out. "A little more I can see the head already. 1 2 3!" This went on for a few more times until I hear the sound of my daughter's cry pierce through the room.

I can feel my eyes start to water when I hear my baby girl's voice. I look at Scarlett and I see that she is crying. "Would you like to cut the umbilical cord sir?" The doctor asks me. I nod my head and take the special scissors the nurse gives me and cut the umbilical cord. The first time I did this it made me almost puke but know that I know what to expect I don't feel like vomiting.

One of the nurse carefully hands me my daughter who is clean from all the mush and is wrapped in a pink blanket. I gently take little Sadie from the nurse and carry her to Scarlett. "She is so beautiful," Scarlett whispers when she sees Sadie's face. "Yeah she is. Thank you for giving birth to her," I told with a smile full of adoration. She gives me a shy nod and slowly her eyes begin to close.

I am about to panic thinking that something is wrong but the doctor assures me that she is okay and that she is only resting as giving birth is very tiring. "Can I check whether everything is fine with your daughter," the one of the nurse ask me. I look at her and nod my head while carefully transferring my daughter from my arms to the nurse's arms. The nurse takes Sadie out of the room to somewhere else and when the nurse left another nurse asks me, "What would your daughter's name be sir?"

"Her name is Sadie Giovanni," I answer the nurse. "A beautiful for a beautiful little baby," the nurse says as she wrote the name on Sadie's birth certificate. "If you would sign here please," the nurse ask me while pointing to a specific place on the certificate for me to sign. I take the pen from her and sign at the line she was pointing at. "Thank you. We will send your daughter in about an hour," the nurse informs me.

I nod my head at her and watch as she leaves the room. When she closes the door I turn and walk to the chair that is beside Scarlett and sit down. I bring her right hand and gently kiss it.



She does not know how happy I am that she is willing to go through the pain to give birth to my children. I promise myself that no matter how busy I am I will always be there when she is giving birth as I was not there when Sapphire had to give birth to Dante. I cant imagine the pain and fear that Sapphire had to go through giving birth to Dante all alone all those years ago.

I rid the depressing thought out of my head as now is not the time for sad thoughts. My wife just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and she is perfectly fine except for being very tired. I got up from the chair to get Dante and Dominic so that they can see their mom. I know they are very worried for her. So with that thought I made my way out of the room and head to the play area.

As soon as my boys sees me they threw away their toys and quickly run towards me shouting in glee. "We're you guys being good boys," I ask them and they nod there head vigorously. I chuckle and ask, "Do you guys want to see mama?" "Yes!" they both shouted and I smile and took them to Scarlett's room with me holding Dante's hand and carrying Dominic in my arms.

When they see her lying on the bed unconscious they look at me worriedly. "It's okay, your mama is only resting. She is very tired, she will wake up soon," I assure them. They nod at me and Dante went to sit on the chair that is on the left and rest his head on the bed near Scarlett's hand. So I went to sit on Scarlett's right with Dominic sitting on my lap and playing with my phone.

It was an hour later when the door is open by the same nurse that take Sadie form me to check on her. "Hi sorry to intrude but here is little Sadie Giovanni," the nurse whispers when she see that Scarlett is still sleeping. "No problem. Please come in," I told her standing up from the chair. I lift Dominic from my arms and put him on the chair so that I can carry Sadie.

"Hi princess," I whisper at Sadie when I have her in my arms. "Well if everything is alright I will take my leave," the nurse informs me. I nod my head at her and then she leaves the room. I turn around and Dante and Dominic is right behind wanting to see Sadie. I chuckle when I see how eager they are to see their little sister. "Alright calm down I will show you Sadie," I told them.

They stop trying to pull my pants down when I said that. "Here see this is your little sister Sadie," I told while bending down so she is within their eye level. "She is small daddy," Dominic tells me. I laugh at his words as he looks honestly confuse why she is so small. "Of course she's small Dominic she is just a baby."

His small and adorable mouth forms and o when I told him that. "Really?" he asks. "Of course you were this small when you were a baby," I told him and I watch as shock cross his face. I try to stifle my laugh at his shock expression as I don't want to wake up Scarlett from her much needed sleep. Dominic can be so cute sometimes that I just want to hug and cuddle him.



He got this personality from Scarlett as she gets shock a lot when she learns about something. I guess I didn't do a good job of stifling my laugh as I hear Scarlett in a tired voice ask, "What is so funny?" "Hi honey. Sorry for waking you up but Dominic's reaction is to funny," I told her while walking towards her and putting Sadie in Scarlett's open arms.

Scarlett chuckles as well. "What is he shock about this time?" "Oh he's shock that he use to be as small as Sadie." Scarlett laughs when she hears that and coos at Sadie when she begin to wake up from her sleep. Scarlett make sure to count all her fingers and toes to make sure there is ten of each. She did this with Dominic as well when she gets to hold him.

I guess this a mother's thing. "She is absolutely perfect like her brothers," Scarlett whispers in awe. "That she is," I agree with her. Sadie is as pretty as her mom as she has her mom's hair color and mouth and I have a feeling that she will have her mom's eye color as well. "Mama okay now," Dominic asks his mom in a worried tone. "Oh thank you for being so worried for me sweetie but mama is alright now," she assures him and I watch as he relax and bright smile covers his adorable face.

He went on the bed with my help and snuggle on Scarlett's left arm as she is holding Sadie in her right arm. I chuckle again, Dominic is seriously mama's boy that likes to cling to his mother. I hope this won't become and issue in the future when he has to go to school and not see his mama the whole day. I went to sit down on the chair and Dante come and sat on my lap.

I hug Dante and think how right now I have all my family with me spending time together and I couldn't ask for anything more as I watch my kids interact with Scarlett. I will do whatever it takes to protect my family and make sure they are always safe and happy.
