1 Year Later Alessa's P.O.V

I stared blankly at the plastic tube within my hand. My mind going into a state of numbness as I failed to comprehend the truth in front of me.

Sighing, I closed my eyes as I quickly stood up, stuffing the evidence into my bag before I hurried from the toilet.

My heart pounded against my chest as I spotted Alonso leaning against a wall outside the store. His eyes quickly switching to mine as his familiar smile spread across his face.

"You did it?" He asked lowly once I was close enough for him to throw his arm across my shoulders, bringing me close.

I swallowed slowly before nodding," Yea," I muttered, before we gained on his car. The lamp posts switching on as night fell, reflecting of the dark sleek machine. Quickly sliding into the leather seat I rested my head heavily against the head rest.

"So, I'm guessing from your reaction," he pondered as he slipped into the car, quickly brining the expensive engine to life.

"I'm pregnant," I finished for him, the truth finally setting like concrete within my mind.

I'm pregnant. Pregnant... With Angelo's child...

My lips pursed as a thousand thoughts ran through my head. Was I going to be a good mother? What if I can't handle motherhood? What if Angelo isn't ready to be a father yet?

I felt Alonso's hand grip mine as I felt myself relax slightly underneath his reassuring grip.

"Don't worry," he reassured in a soft tone, "Trust me when I say Angelo will be more than happy." Glancing over he sent me a quick wink causing me to smile slightly.

Smiling, I began feel the excitement bubble up inside. The thought of having a child. Being a family with Angelo, it had always been our dream. I thought of the looks he or she could inherit. Angelo's deep piercing deep blues or my emerald greens. Whether, she or he,would have the Dimitri stubbornness and cockiness. Or my passionate drive for goals and ambitions. I felt a wistful sigh pass my lips as I imagined our future child.

This year had gone swiftly. From Angelo asking me to get married, the ceremony being nothing it enchanting and perfect. There was also partnership of the Mafia between Alonso and Angelo.

But, I could tell that Alonso wasn't exactly happy with his point in life at the moment. Ali left to go back home unexpectedly, leaving no explanation why she did so, quickly changing the topic when I tried to ask or inquire about it. But I could tell whenever she came up in conversation it hit a nerve for Alonso, the hidden yet broken expression that crosses his face saddens me. I hoped they both fix whatever is going on between them, soon.

I let out a slow breath of air as we pulled up to our house. I quickly sent a thankful smile to Alonso before sliding out the car, the crunch of gravel beneath my feet echoing across the driveway as I gained on the house. I watched Alonso pull away as his bright headlights disappeared into the distance.

Fiddling with my bag, I finally managed to dig up my keys, fumbling to open the door as anxiousness clawed at my mind once again.

Finally stumbling through the door, I kicked off my shoes before setting down my handbag. The familiar smell of spices filled the house in a sweet aroma as I recognised the scent of Angelo's cooking.

Smiling to myself, I headed towards the kitchen the sound of humming echoing through the room as I gained on the wide doorway.

"Hey there," I said softly, leaning against the door frame as I came to a stop where Angelo was leaning against the counter, his hands skilfully mixing sauces and meats together over the stove. His eyes instantly met mine as his heart-melting smile graced his lips.

"Hello there," he replied, chucking, I entered the kitchen, walking over to him I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist as I pressed myself against his back.

"Had a fun day with Alonso?" He asked, spinning around quickly, his breath fanning onto my cheek as his eyes glimmered at me, his arms wrapping around my waist.

"If you count watching him flirt with various other woman in pitiful attempts, then yes, fun," I drawled, earning a low chuckle from Angelo.

"But," I continued, pressing my palms against his chest as I continued to gaze up at him, "I have some news for you," I said slowly, watching Angelo's eyes light up slowly.

"Do tell," he smirked, I quickly pushed away any anxiety that riddled my mind and decided I couldn't keep the information from him longer.

"I'm pregnant," I blurted, I watched his expression change from relaxed to shock within seconds, it would've been funny in any other occasion to see him caught off guard, but it only increased my paranoid fears.

"Angelo?" I asked softly, my brows furrowed as he remained silent, his gaze only locked into mine.

"Are you serious?" He asked suddenly," Like have you taken a test," he continued, his grip never faltering from my waist. Nodding quickly I watched his face light up as the largest grin broke a less his face.

He quickly swooped down to capture my lips in a kiss, I froze, stunned at his reaction before I smiled against his lips.

"You're happy?" I asked, it coming out a mumble. Pulling away, I watched his eyebrow raise.

"Happy doesn't even begin to explain my ecstatic emotions right now," he replied, earning a large grin from me.

"I told you I wanted a forever with you," he continued, his hands travelling down to my stomach as they rested there, admiring the tiniest existence that resided there.

"This is where it begins," he finished, before swooping down to capture my lips in yet another kiss. My body instantly relaxing against his before a thought suddenly popped into my head.

"I'm going to get so fat, " I whined, pulling away as Angelo broke into a fit of laughter at my pouted expression.

"And I'll still love you either way," he mumbled, his thumb caressing my cheek.

"Even if I can't see my toes anymore?" I asked softly, causing Angelo's grin to grow even more if possible.

"Even that," he replied slowly, chuckling as he shook his head again, resting his chin in the top of my chin. We stood in a loving embrace until a distinct scent caught my attention.

"I think in order to begin our family, I think we need a house that hasn't burnt down ,Angelo," I announced, casing him to spring away as his attention returned to the now burnt food laying on the stove.

"Shit," he muttered, chuckling I shook my head in amusement.

"You have nine months to learn how to cook," I teased, watching his gaze flicker to mine as I sat at the counter opposite.

"I better start now then," he mumbled grudgingly to himself. Chuckling, I watched him in admiration as he continued to struggle to fix his errors. I knew I had to announce to the rest of the family soon, but for know I wanted to stay in my own bubble with Angelo, as well as the future child that was on the way.

Our forever, is now perfect.
