Every day I get to come to her, and it makes me happy, and she is always a breath of fresh air when I have a bad day. Work has been so stressful, but I think everything is under control, and things will get back to normal.
With her family and mine in attendance, I stand nervously at the alter and adjust my tie. Mom is sitting in the front row smiling that she is gaining a daughter and the fact that I’m finally settling down.
The wedding march plays, and I know Geneva is on the other side of the alter, behind the door. When the doors open, my breath hitches. She is stunning in an all-white princess gown, and the veil has a long train. Livia bends down behind Gen to fix the train. God, this woman is everything to me. She links an arm with her dad’s as he walks her toward me.
I do everything in my power to try not to cry. And as she gets closer, my eyes well up, but it’s for happiness. She reaches me and smiles wide, causing me to smile back. I quickly swipe the tears from my eyes.
“You look so handsome,” she says as we join hands.
“And you look stunning. Making a grown man cry.”
We share a giggle before the vows are exchanged.

“Now you are mine forever. Just like in any mafia family. The only way to get out of it is by death.”
“Jesus, you went so dark. But no matter what, I am yours forever.”
After dinner, we make our way to the middle of the dance floor to slow danceAt LastbyEtta James.
“How does it feel to be Mrs. LaRocca?”
“Feels amazing. Did you ever think we would end up here? Being that the first time we met, you kidnapped me.”
I grin wide. “The minute I did that, I knew I wanted more. Needed more. And now I have you. So I don’t regret it.”
“I don’t either.” The song stops, but Geneva takes my hand, and she leads us to the balcony where the night air is a cool breeze. She stands looking out over the city, and I stand behind her, wrapping my arms around her as we share a quiet moment.
“I’m pregnant,” she whispers.
“Geneva!” I spin her around to face me. “That’s amazing. How long have you known?”
She smiles. “Since this morning. I was having some morning sickness, and I thought it was just wedding jitters, even though I was ready to marry you. Then Livia said maybe I should do a test just to see. And two lines appeared.”
“Today is the best of my life, I’m so happy.”
“It’s mother and groom dance. And bride and father dance time,” Livia calls from the door. Seeing the smile on her face, she must know Geneva told me about the pregnancy.
“Gives us a few minutes,” I tell her because I want us to enjoy this moment for as long as I can.
“I wasn’t sure if you would be happy about it or not. Your childhood hasn’t exactly been ideal.”
“I’m ecstatic and want to tell everyone, but I know we can’t yet.”
“Right. But we will when it’s the right time.”
I engulf her with an embrace, pulling her close. “God, I love you so much.”
She wraps her arms around my waist and leans her head on my chest. “I love you so much. And the thought of losing you,” her breath catches.
I unlocked my arms from her, and bend to look her in the eye. “You will never lose me. You have me for forever.”
“And you have me for forever.” I plant my lips on hers.
