Freeing my arm, I lace my fingers through his.

“Don’t you wimp out on me. We want to do this two more times, remember?”

He chuckles, squeezing my hand back, his lips hovering over mine.

“I can handle it. I was worried about you, that was all.”

I look down as Leo starts to stir, his tiny mouth opening.

“Hey little man,” Frankie coos beside me, stroking Leo’s face with the back of his index finger.

I lean back and rest my head against his pec.

We have everything. An empire, a family and all the love I could possibly need to last me ten lifetimes. I got lucky. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.

“What are you thinking about, dolcezza?”

“Just how much fun we’re going to have.”

His fingers grip my chin and push my head back to meet his gaze.

“That we will, baby,” he says, before pressing his lips over mine.

EPILOGUE

FRANKIE

With a box of blue decorations firmly in my grasp, I stride into the dining room. My eyes find Zara at the table cradling our baby, Leonardo, with a smile on her face that makes my heart flutter.

Setting the box down on the table as instructed by Maddie, I make my way over and slide in next to Zara.

“So, how are you finding being a dad?” Grayson asks with a grin.

“Perfect,” I reply without hesitation.

Because it’s true. Every day I wake up with the two loves of my life, I’m a happy man.

My arm snakes around Zara’s shoulder, and I pull her flush against my side. She looks up at me with a grin. I cast my eyes round the room, filled with blue balloons and aplay area in the corner where the rest of the kids are already causing havoc.

“Sorry we’re late!” Rosa calls from the door. Luca follows behind her, holding their new baby boy, Elio. He was born just two weeks before Leo.

Maddie jumps out of the booth and rushes over to them.

“Looks like you’ll be adding to the crew again soon.” I gesture my drink at the shuffling blonde before knocking back my scotch.

Grayson grins and looks over at his wife.

I shake my head with a chuckle. “Fucking hell, I told you we should have just made this into a daycare,” I mutter and they all laugh.

Not that it’s a bad thing. We have a new bloodline, a legacy here. Sienna has Nico, their newest son, in her hold. Max is busy on his computer game in the office while Darcy and Hope play in the kiddie zone.

Luca and Rosa slide into the adjoining booth.

Maddie cuddles Elio while beaming at Grayson.

“Anything to tell us, Maddison?” I ask, biting back my grin as I watch her cheeks flush a bright red.

She shoots a scowl at her husband. “Grayson! I told you not to say anything for another two weeks!”
