“You spoil me,” Mom grins at her daughter-in-law. “Will you bring my glass of wine? It’s on the kitchen island.”

“Okay.” Rosalie sets the bowl down on the table, and when she goes into the house, I hand the grilling duties over to Luca and go after my wife.

I catch her as she turns around and wrap my arms around her. “So, what do you think?”

“About?” she asks, confusion fluttering over her face.

“Us having a girl.”

A soft smile curves her lips. “We can try, but I can’t guarantee you a little girl. You have to take whatever my womb gives you, Mr. Vetrov.”

“Then we’ll have to keep trying until we have one.”

She lets out a burst of laughter. “And what if it takes ten boys before we have a little girl?”

“I’m fine with that.”

She shakes her head at me. “I know I said I’ll give you as many kids as you want, but eleven is pushing the limit for me.”

I press a kiss to her mouth. “Okay, we’ll stop at five.”

“I can handle that.”

I give my wife another kiss, then suddenly, Roman’s cry registers. I let go of Rosalie and run outside. Lily’s rubbing sand off his knee, saying, “I’m sorry you fell.”

I crouch next to my son, and my entire hand covers his back. “Are you okay, little man?”

He sniffs and leans his head on my shoulder. “Thanks for watching him, Lily,” I say as I pick him up. I hug my son to my chest and press a kiss on his head. “Daddy’s got you.”

“Owie,” he sniffles, then he spots his mother, and he throws his body toward hers. “Ma!”

Rosalie comes to take him from me, pressing a kiss to his scraped knee. “All better?” she asks him.

He shakes his head so she’ll kiss his knee again.

“Yep, that’s my boy. Taking as much love as he can get from you.”

“I have endless supplies of love for my two men,” she says, her eyes soft.

“And your men love you endlessly,” I murmur.

I glance around, taking in how happy my family is, bursts of laughter constantly filling the air.

If anyone ever had to ask me what the mafia is about, my answer would be this moment. Family and friends. People who have your back through thick and thin, who will bleed with you to protect the empires we’ve built over the years.

My gaze turns back to Rosalie and my Roman – the loves of my life – the woman I’ll grow old with, and my son, who will one day take over the bratva.

The End.
