Bonus II

Four weeks later

I'm tired, sluggish and grumpy now. My due date is in a week and it feels like forever. On the one hand I'm afraid of childbirth, and I'd like it to be behind me. My back hurts and my feet are swollen.

I sit on the bed, leaning against the pile of pillows, and try to focus on the book, however I've to change positions all the time.

Lorenzo enters the bedroom with a steaming mug in hand. He's dressed in light gray sweatpants and a white shirt that hugs his divine body. I can see every outline of his muscles.

"How are you, gattino? I brought you tea." He goes to the bed and puts the mug on the nightstand. He looks at me tenderly and caresses my hair, then bends down and puts a kiss on top of my head.
(Translation: kitten)

"If it wasn't back pain, it would be fine. I can't find a place for myself even though I'm doing nothing." I sigh heavily and correct my position again.

"Move forward a little." I do what my savior tells me to do. He takes a seat behind me and begins to massage me gently along my spine. After a few minutes, I feel relief, even pleasure.

"Oh yeah, that's better." I groan, and Enzo laughs softly.

"Don't whine like that, you know how it works for me." He says, and I can't stop myself from blushing.

"There is no such possibility. This port is temporarily closed." My husband laughs even louder, and I feel like slapping his head.

"Our little girl will be with us soon, I can't wait." He says excitedly.

"I wonder what she will look like..." I place a hand on my belly.

"I hope she will look like me." He says seriously.

"Why? Something's wrong with me?"

"Amore, you're beautiful and if our daughter will look like you, I'm simply fucked." He affirmed.

"Don't overdo it." I chuckle, patting his muscular chest.

Lorenzo just mumbles and continues to massage me. He's so jealous. Sure, if it were a boy, he could do whatever he wanted with the girls, nonetheless the daughter... good thing she'll have me too. I'll help her get out on a date. And if she falls in love with a decent boy, I'll be on her side when he finds out.

Well, maybe the two of us will go to the spa for a few days and leave him a letter with this information.

The next day

Sophia came to the property and we decided to sit in front of the house in the garden. Where our dog Alto sniffs every bush as if he had caught a trail.

For several months we have become very close to each other. I regret it very much that sometimes I behaved terribly towards her, she didn't deserve it. She doesn't work for us anymore, I couldn't let her do it. Now we have a new cleaner that's a little old, nonetheless she's doing very well.

"You look beautiful Valentina, so radiant.  Pregnancy is good for you." Her words make me look at her with a slight doubt and a grimace.

"Sophia, I'm swollen and tired. I'm humorous and whining. God, I'm acting like an Lorenzo." I say, taking a sip of my tea.

She bursts out laughing and nods in agreement.

Then I glanced over and noticed that there were more bodygoards. "Why are so many people here?" I questioned.

"Nothing is gonna happen, relax." She says, and I hear a note of worry in her voice. She's right, there are more of Enzo's men and they keep watch over the property.
