Aurora De Vinci

The lights turn on his room and we both look at the door.

A nurse is standing there and says "I'm sorry I'll leave."

She leaves and Axel brings his attention room back to me.

He furrows his eyebrows and asks "Why are you wearing that, it can hurt the baby."

I say "They'll be fine."

He says "No they won't."

Axel loops his finger in my belt loop then pulls me to his bedside.

Axel takes off my corset and I cover my boobs.

He chuckles and asks "Amore I've seen your boobs, how do you think we could've made this baby."

I laugh and he says "My shirt is on the chair right there. Wear it so you can have something to remember me while you're gone."

He points to the chair and I become saddened slightly by the realization I'll be away.

I say "Axel you'll miss your first child birth."

His face contorts into one of sadness.

He then says "I know but I'll make the rest."

I say "I'm not pushing out more than one child, hell no."

He says "You'll get a c-section then."

I facepalm myself and put on the shirt he laughs them winces.

I roll my eyes and he says "I'll see you in a year and a half then my beautiful wife."

I say "I wish I could see you before that."

Axel says "Hopefully."

I walk beside him then kiss him passionately one last time before leaving.

His hand rests on my cheek with the other on my waist.

A tear slides down my cheek as we kiss and he whispers against my lips "Don't cry il mi amore."

I nod and kiss him once again.

Axel pulls away and says "Ti amo Aurora Knight."

I say "Ti amo Axel, I'll make sure you're there to see your baby girls birth."

He nods and we lock eyes before I turn around and walk out of the room.

Axel point of view, 3 months later

As I'm working in my office my father steps in.

I look up and he asks "How's your shoulder."

I mumble "Fine."

He says "You can't keep hiding your emotions."

I say "I'm not, I don't know why we're talking about this."

He groans and says "Dinners at 4:45."

I nod and he walks out.

I roll my eyes and my phone buzzes. I look down to my oak desk and grab it.

My screen shows a email from an unknown source.

Who the fuck is this.

I open the email and see in big letters "It's a girl."

I set my phone down and crouch down.

I run my hands over my face and smile.

I'm having a daughter, I'm having a fucking daughter.

Holy shit I'm gonna have a kid.

I run out of my office and see my family stare at me.

I grab the closest person to me and say excitedly "I'm gonna be a dad, I'm gonna have a daughter."
