Our way home was almost nine hours long drive but most of it I was asleep. We didn't go by plane, instead, we were driving a car all the way back home. Well, Daniel was driving a car.

We arrived in front of my apartment around 3 am. "It's late you should stay the night." I said yawning and stretching my sore legs as we exited a car.

"Well, maybe I should." He said tiredly as he rubbed his eyes. "It's not maybe, it is definitely." I said with a slight chuckle. "When do you need to be at work?"

"In the morning." He answered and was about to go get our stuff from the trunk but I stopped him.

"Leave the stuff there. We will get them when we wake up in the morning." I said pulling him towards the entrance making him chuckle.

"Okay, okay. We will get them in the morning, let me just take my phone charger." He said as he wiggled his hand from my hold and went to take it from a car.

Walking up the stairs and entering the apartment, we parted and went into separate rooms.

Upon walking into my room I went to lay down on a bed not having energy, not even for changing my clothes.

Laying in bed my mind wondered about the past two weeks. It was simply beautiful. I chuckled to myself as I remembered Matteo's face today.

Flashback

I gave Emiliano a kiss on his cheek and was about to turn around and go into a car when his little hand stopped me "No, dada." He said pointing at Xavier's cheek.

My cheeks burned bright red as I understood what he meant. I switched my eyes on Xavier who had a small smirk while looking down at me. 'God, was he tall.'

Blushing I stood on my tiptoes and he bent a little so I could place a short kiss on his cheek. Pulling away I was sure that I was as red as a tomato which made his smirk only widen.

"Aww, can I get a kiss like that?" Matteo asked putting like a little kid as I pulled away from Xavier.

"No." Daniel glared at him along with Xavier.

"Puoi metterti la mia gamba su per il culo." Xavier hissed looking at Matteo making all of us laugh. ("You can get my leg up your ass.")

I chuckled along with them and turned my head to look at him. Grinning, ear to ear, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.

"I'm gonna miss you." He said as he pulled away from me looking at my face. "Aww, I'm gonna miss you too. You should come to visit us." I smiled at him on which he nodded.

"Definitely. But not now, Xavier needs to go back to States tomorrow, about some job with a company there." He said making me turn my head to look at Xavier whose lips were pulled into a small smile.

"Well, when you come back feel free to come and visit. I can take you on a stroll around the city." I grinned at him causing his eyes to light up.

"Of course. We will come as soon as we finish with our job."

"Okay, I think we should get going." Daniel exclaimed as he closed the trunk making all of ours attention snap at him.

"Okay. I'm ready." I said pulling away from Matteo. "Hey, you forgot something." Matteo wined making me laugh at him.

"Sorry." I said as I stepped closer to him and placed a peck on his cheek. Making him stick out his tongue at Xavier, who glared at Matteo along with Dani.

End of flashback

Shaking my head a little I turned to the side getting into a comfy position making sure not to press my baby bump. I was out into dreamland in no time.



Antea and Daniel went back home a couple of hours ago and since they left I couldn't calm Emiliano down. All he was doing is screaming and thrashing around.

"Noo, no, I iona mama." He screamed as I tried to put him asleep.

"Emiliano." I groaned as I pulled him closer to me on a bed "Listen to me. You are a big boy, right?" I asked him making him nod "Okay. And you love your mama, right?" He nodded once again "Mama went to check something.." I started but stopped when I saw that his lower lip started to wobble again.

"Hey, hey look. We are going to sleep now and then tomorrow as soon as you wake up we are going to call mama to see what is she doing. Okay?" I asked making him look up at me with those big blue eyes. "Otay." He said making me smile.

Dio mio did he grow up. He slowly started to speak proper sentences. Well as proper as almost one and half-year-old child could.

"Let's make a deal. Tomorrow we will go home. And you will be a good boy to your nonna while I'm on work. So when I finish my work I will take you to mamma. Capisce?" He looked at me with a slight pout on his but nodded nonetheless.

"Okay, then. Let's go to sleep we need to get up earlier tomorrow." I said kissing the top of his head.

He laid his head on my chest hearing the beating of my heart. Since he was little that would be the only way to make him fall asleep. Well except when he was with Antea, she could make him fall asleep while only creasing his cheek.

After a couple of minutes, all it could be heard was Emiliano's steady breathing indicating to me that he is sleeping.

A smile crept on my face while my mind wondered at one dark-haired girl that have me completely wrapped around her fingers.

I wonder did she arrive home already, turning to the side I switched on my phone to look at what time it is. It's around midnight which would mean that they are still driving.

Sudden anxiety crept down my spine at the thought of her having an accident. I gripped a phone in my hand and watched the ceiling debating with myself should I call her or should I leave it be.

All my sleep was gone as my mind went into overdrive. 'Is she comfortable in the car? Is she hungry? Does she or a baby need something? What if something happened to her? What if she got hurt? What about a baby?'

I was so much in my thoughts that I didn't hear knocking on my door, neither saw Dante coming in.

I flinched a bit when he touched my leg, making me avert my attention to him. "What?" I hissed silently not wanting to wake Emiliano from his sleep.

"Before they left I told Daniel to send me a message when they arrive." He said making me frown. "I just looked at the watch, there is no way they are already there. Unless that fucker was driving way over the speed limit." I said as I gently flipped Emiliano to other side of a bed.

"No, no, they are not home yet, but they passed the border. They entered Croatia." He said on which I only nodded. "Also, don't worry yourself that much. Moreno send a couple of guys to trail behind them until they are safe at home."

"Yeah, I know about that. I told him to do that. I just can't help myself but worry that something will happen." I sighed on which Dante patted my shoulder.

"Go to sleep. I will wake you up when they arrive." He said pushing me slightly down on the bed making me swat away his hand.

"Oh, fuck off." I chuckled as he faked his hurt and made his way towards the door.

"Yeah, yeah, fuck you too." He said as he exited the room closing doors behind him.
