Emily Marino was mine, forever and now even more so because I had made her mine in every aspect of life.

He had placed a baby in her, a baby she already wanted to meet.

Not only was she mine, my baby was mine too.

And whoever dared to touch both of them would receive a complete and direct death sentence, because no one would lay a finger on what belongs to me:

My lady, my baby, my principessa, my heir, my love, my son.

No one, they were completely mine until death do us part.

CHAPTER 31

THE GREATEST WISH

???????????????

Emily

I had received congratulations and quite a few sweets because I have not stopped eating them since we found out the truth. We went straight to Italy to take care of everything necessary to be well informed and prepared for these coming months. Despite the time that I have allowed to pass, I have seen that Salvatore is more attentive to each of the changes, something that I was not even aware of.

My breasts have grown a little, my abdomen extended, which made me quite happy because I wanted to look different, I wanted to see how my baby grew inside me and stretched my skin as the weeks went by. Every photo that Salvatore takes we put in the album we have, I don't want it to be just personal, I want it to be something familiar and that is why when we finish with our most wonderful stages of our life we will move on to give it to the next member.

Leone has not communicated and Salvatore told me several times about the conversation he had with him before he left the house, he does not want to know anything about us, he does not want to know anything about the family and that is why he did not send him the news. Seeing Salvatore a little unhappy about that event made me cry at night, I wanted him to be happy, I wanted him to have the family he had always wanted and it was obvious that he wanted his brothers close at this great stage.

It is not worth insisting because that could cause a real problem between Leone and his brothers, something we better avoid. Leaving that aside, living together with the other two is better than I expected, after all we are a united family that is always helping each other at all times and it seems that the Marinos have a weakness towards the little ones, the babies that come on the way because until now they are only waiting for me to arrive at the pending appointment so they can fill an entire room with clothes, toys and furniture for the baby who is coming in nothing.

I put on a loose black T-shirt, some basic jeans and my sneakers that should never be missing, when I leave my room Salvatore carries my bag on his shoulder because we hope to go to eat at the new restaurant that Domenico opened, where we will clearly reveal the great news.

Five months have passed and the truth is that the baby was not visible much, there are doctors who manage to define it after a few months due to growth, however, in our case we continue trying and today may be the opportunity. Salvatore puts a hand on my back so he can help me get my body into the car.

—I'm not balled up, I'm still going in.

—I want you to be comfortable, settle well.

—He's grown quite a bit, hasn't he?

—Yes, he is and will be a very healthy baby.

When I'm ready in my seat, he comes over to give me my bag, placing a kiss on my lips and another on my swollen belly. He walks around the entire car to get to the steering wheel and the escort follows us to the hospital where I am being treated, before I was in a very different one from this one. Since Salvatore and I decided to stop taking care of ourselves, I changed the clinic where Adan works, making the best gynecologist work for us and she is the one who cares for us until now with the whole issue of pregnancy and my health.

It is expensive, but he doesn't care because he has told me that he will always look after our comfort and privileges, in fact, he recently did the costing for everything that will need to be paid when the birth comes. For me it's early, I need four months, but they are always one step ahead.

At all times Salvatore's hand rests on my abdomen, I look out the window and drink the smoothie that the service people made for me, which I love because it is sweet and greatly calms the voracious hunger that sometimes gives me.

"Are you feeling well, princessa?"

—Yes, my breasts have hurt but it is normal.

"Very normal," he assures, "when I return I will take care of alleviating that pain, love."

—I know and I would like to, they have become heavier.

—Do you think I don't know?

—You always write down every change, right?

—Not one is needed.
