Dorothy's POV 2 months later
"This has to be the perfect wedding ever?" Shelly shouts across the room as she helps put on my makeup.
"And it's going to be Shelly; just calm down." I smile at her but I get hit lightly on the head in return. "Okay, I'm sorry."
Midge walks over to where we are with a slight frown on her face.
"What's the problem now?" Shelly asked rolling her eyes.
"It's just that Liam is so difficult to talk to." She rests her hand on my shoulder. "Why the hell did you make him so smart to talk to?"
"Liam, he's honestly just Liam. I mean I don't even know what Luca and he have been talking about these days." I sigh resting more in the chair. "I mean, on his birthday he asked for a gun! What the hell is a five-year-old kid doing with a gun? And guess what Vince said."
"Uh..." Midge tries to say something but nothing flows into her mind.
"Well, he said he would consider it," I say after a few seconds of silence. "He'll consider giving a five-year-old kid- which is my son by the way gun. Who the hell does he think he is to make these decisions?"
"Your husband and Liam's father?" Shelly takes a step back creating a little distance from us just in case I hit her.
"You are getting on my last nerve Rachel and you are not going to like what I'm going to do to you if you anger me more," I warn her fixing my posture.
"Man this pregnancy is messing your brain up, Dora," Donna says coming out of the changing room.
I turn to scold her but the moment I set my eyes on her all the anger leaves my system. "You look beautiful," I whisper in awe.
"Even prettier than I looked when I was getting married to Matteo." Grace wanders out of the changing room a few seconds later. "And I thought I looked like a queen."
"Oh, guys stop it." Donna waved her hands at us. "This isn't my first time getting married."
"It doesn't matter, a wedding should be memorable whether it's your first or second." Midge smiles at Donna. "Now let's get your makeup done."
"I can't believe this is happening," Donna whispers to herself.
"Don't worry Donna you are going to be one fine Harper." I smile touching my wedding ring. "Just like I was."
After the whole fiasco that went down a couple of months ago; I didn't want to wait so long to finally marry Vince. So we had a private wedding only inviting family and close friends. I didn't want the press involved this time. It was difficult getting a wedding dress because of my constant weight gain but I eventually found the perfect dress with the help of Mia.
A few days later, Dad confessed he had been seeing someone for the past two years and hid it from me because he believed that I would think he was replacing Mom. I scolded him for hiding this information from me and not Jacob. So dad introduced me to Donna and we both fell in love instantly. And because of that, I pushed Dad to propose to her and here we are.
"This has to be the most perfect day of your life." Shelly squeals jumping up and down. "Oh, by the way, you are invited to my wedding."
"When are you two going to get married?" Grace asks leaning against the wall.
"Jacob wanted it after Dorothy gave birth." She shrugs not caring about the date. "We both want the baby to be born before the wedding. So we can have the baby in the pictures. Plus I don't want her with her pregnancy attitude."
"I desperately want to hit you," I mutter under my breath.
"That's because you know it's true." She smiles going back to what she was doing.
"I'm hungry," I say tapping my bump. "God this baby is making me go crazy."
*After the wedding* "I'm so happy that you aren't hurt by this," Dad says as we both look at the stars.
"I just want you to be happy Dad," I say taking his hand in mine. "I couldn't stand watching you beat yourself up for something that you couldn't control. I love mom. I would never forget her but that doesn't mean I would never love any other person as a mother figure."
"I just want you to know that I will always love your mother. She was my first love and she will always have a special place in my heart." He said looking deep at the stars as if were Mom. "I love you and your brother so much. You two are my happiness and joy, I don't know what I'll do without you two. For a long time, you guys were all I had."
"Now you have Donna." I grin at him.
"Now I have Donna." He smiles back at me and then looks at his wedding ring.
"Am I interrupting anything?" I turn to see Vince in his black tux. Gosh, he looks ten times sexier. Is that even possible?
"Not at all son," Dad said standing up from the bench. He bends down and places a kiss on my forehead. "I'll go find Donna."
I nod at him as he walks into the party hall.
"So this is where my beautiful wife is," Vince says taking Dad's place beside me. "You look so ravishing in this dress.
"Oh stop it." I wave his comment off laughing. "I feel like a sack of potatoes."
He wraps his arm around me. "You haven't seen in a mirror lately." He places a kiss on my temple. "You are beautiful and I don't care if there's a bump protruding out of your stomach. It's sexy."
"You're sexy, and that's making me horny," I whisper placing my hand on his upper thigh. "Wanna get out of here?"
"Damn right, I do." He pulls me up to the bench. "There's a room upstairs."
"Oh, you guys are here, great." An annoying voice said from behind us. "I just wanted to let you know that I learned to play those cafe boardgames and wondered-"
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Vince snaps at Luca looking like he is going to kill him any minute from now.
"What I thought that you were heading to the cafe that...never mind " He shrugs shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Come on baby doll, you can't still be mad," Vince said trying to wrap his arms around me.
"Yes, I can." I snapped swatting his hand away from me. "You can't make my son train for something that he might not even want to be."
"Dorothy, we've had this conversation a thousand times," Vince sighs with a bit of relief, resting his back on the sofa. "Liam needs to know a bit of his past.
"I don't support it." I look down at him to find him grinning at me. "What's so funny? Why are you looking at me like I've lost my mind? Like I'm crazy. Do you think I'm crazy?"
"No that's-"
"Well, if you thought I was crazy why did you marry me? You are one insufferable man and I can't stand you." I shout at him feeling like using the bathroom afterward. "Great, now the baby pressing on my bladder again cause of you."
I drop to the sofa resting my head on my palm. I'm so tired of carrying this baby, I just want to pop it out for crying out loud. I turn to see Vince staring at me with love in his eyes.
"I don't think you're crazy." He says shifting closer to me. "If anyone is crazy it's me. I'm crazy in love with you."
"Damn right, you are." I smile at him placing my hand on his upper thigh. He hitched his breath as my hand moved higher. "We can't have sex now, I really need to pee and I think I'm getting hungry."
He groans taking my hand off his thigh and standing up from the sofa. "You could have just said that before teasing me." He starts walking out of the room.
"Hey, where are you going to?" I ask raising my brows. I literally just told him I'm hungry and now he's walking out of me. He better be getting me food or something.
"I need a cold shower, doll." He smirks and turns back. "Wanna join?"
Sex with Vince in the shower? How can I say no to that? I jump up from the couch and waddle my way to him which brings a smile to his face.
"I thought you wanted to pee and you were hungry?" He teased.
"Do you want to have sex with me or not?" I raise my brows at him
"Wait hold on guys I need to talk about some shit that went down." I turn to the source of the voice. "You guys are not busy right?"
"I swear I'll kill you one day." Vince grits out looking at Luca with a deadly glare.

The moment we entered the mansion Grace left what she was doing to greet us.
"My baby," She coos pulling my cheeks. " Oh my, you've grown bigger."
"I know right." I place a kiss on her cheek. "I feel like a whale but Vince says I'm just pregnant."
"Grandma!" Liam sprints from Vince and jumps in her arms. "I missed you."
"I missed you more." She chuckles and walks inside with him.
I spot Matt talking with David not so far from the dining room. They look like they are having an intense conversation. I wonder what that's all about.
"Don't pay any attention to them," Mia said causing me to jump in fright. I turn to see her carrying little Addy who is babbling her own words. "They are just talking about last night's game."
"Oh my gosh, you scared me," I say the moment I catch my breath.
"Well, I just wanted you to know what they were talking about." She shrugs lancing at them again. "One would think it's important."
"Luca and Ben fought about it this morning." I run my hand around my belly recalling the vulgar things they shouted across the house. It took five other men to stop them from killing themselves.
"I love your outfit." She smiles staring at the blue belted wrap dress I had on.
"It was the only thing that seemed to fit me." I look down at myself. "I'm thinking of losing weight, you know so I don't have to always get new clothes."
"I don't think it works like that." Mia scrunches
up her face. "Besides you look normal."
But Grace said I had gotten bigger which means I am getting fatter. I wasn't even this big when I was pregnant with Liam. I mean I'm only carrying one child inside of me so I shouldn't be getting as big as this.
"And I'm not complaining," Vince says butting into the conversation and giving me a soft kiss. "You look extraordinary, Bella."
"That's a nice thing to say, now move along," Mia says pushing him away from us. Addy starts to giggle at Vince's expression. "See even Addy agrees with me."
"How the hell did you become my sister?" Vince sighs taking Addy in his arm. "I hope you don't turn up like your mother; she's a monster."
Once lunch was ready, Grace called everyone to the dining hall. I smiled as Liam took the sit beside Jojo. Vince ended up sitting beside me and David beside Mia. There was an awkward tension between Matt and David but nobody cared much about it.
"I'm so happy we are here together as a family again," Grace says as she sat down. "And really can't wait for the newest King."
I smile as Vince caresses my baby bump. I'm truly happy that we can have this lunch every Sunday. It feels good knowing that no one is missing. I'm just so glad that all that drama is over.
"Grandpa," Liam calls out making everyone quiet down.
"Yes, Liam." Matt looks up from his food.
"Can you ask Dad to give me a gun?" He asks and that made me almost choke on my food. It took me a couple of seconds to regain myself.
"I want a gun too." Jojo jumps up too.
"Hell no!" Mia shouts slamming her hand on the table and glares at Vince. "No one is getting a gun."
"Why? Didn't Vincenzo get one when he was about his age?" Matt asks which makes the situation worse "Right son?"
"Matteo King!" Grace scolds. "No one is getting a gun."
"I agree with Grace." I drop the cup of water and look at my husband. "No one is getting any gun. Not now, not ever. Do you understand me?"
"We can negotiate on that later, doll," Vince whispered in my ears.
"We aren't negotiating shi-"
Oh no.
I feel something wet between my thighs.
"Is everything okay dear?" Grace asks
"I think my water just broke."
"Shit!"
The End.
