THIRD PERSON POV:

Silence enveloped the dining room as both the Morelli and Romano families anxiously awaited the news Isabella had called them together for. This was unusual for Isabella to call for everyone on an urgent notice, and the families couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and worry.

"I'm pregnant!" Isabella exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. The families were left in a state of shock, completely caught off guard by this unexpected announcement. Armani was the first to regain his composure, leaping from his seat and rushing to embrace his wife.

"Are you sure, love?" he asked, stunned by the news.

"Yup," Isabella replied, as the rest of the family slowly recovered from their initial shock and began offering their congratulations.

"Congratulations!"

"I hope it's a girl this time. There are too many boys in this family," Anna murmured 

"I really want a little sister" Benigno chimed in.

"The chances of it being a girl are pretty low, considering that no girl has been born in the family for five generations, and all of us are boys," Alonzo stated matter-of-factly.

"Aunt, please say that it's a girl," Giovanni pleaded.

"Alonzo, can you stop being so pessimistic? I really want a little sister," Emiliano said, playfully hitting him on the back of his head.

"What? I'm just stating the facts," Alonzo retorted, rubbing his head.

"Enough fighting. Well, I kind of agree with Alonzo, but I've decided that we won't check the gender of this child. It doesn't really matter anyway; we'll love it regardless of its gender," Isabella announced.

"You are absolutely right, my love. However, I must admit that I am secretly hoping for a girl. You know how all the boys in our family are such momma's boys. Do you remember when they were just toddlers? They always preferred to be with you, and they would cry whenever i tried  to hold them and you were close by.. I really need someone on my team," Armani expressed, a hint of longing in his voice.

Curious about his father's opinion, Armino asked, "What do you think about it, Dad?"

Armando replied, his voice filled with anticipation, "If we have a girl, I will spoil my only granddaughter rotten. And if it's a boy, he will still be spoiled, being the youngest in the family. Now, if you two are finished, let's eat dinner," he said sternly, his gaze fixed on his children and grandchildren.

Everyone took their seats, and the room buzzed with conversation as they enjoyed their meal. The topics shifted seamlessly from one to another, and laughter filled the air. Excitement radiated from each family member, even the older ones who maintained a stoic expression on their faces, unable to hide their anticipation for the newest addition to the family.

***the next day***

Isabella's POV

"Isabella, I have brought these clothes for the child. What do you think?" my mother-in-law asked excitedly, passing me at least 30 outfits.

I sighed, "Mom, I'm only two months pregnant. Why have you already started buying so many clothes?"

"Oh, shush! It's my grandchild. Of course, I will buy everything for them," she disagreed, shaking her head.

I shrugged, not wanting to argue with her anymore, and entered the living room. Before I could even step inside, I heard Ezio arguing with his mother.

"Mom, do we really have to go back? I want to spend more time with Sunshine," Ezio pleaded.

"Ezio, you know very well that we have to take care of the business. And who is Sunshine?" his mother questioned.

"I've decided to call Aunt Isabella's unborn child Sunshine. It's already my favorite, and I want to be with them even before they're born so that I can be their favorite," Ezio explained.

That put a smile on my face. Stopping at the doorway, I heard footsteps and looked up to see Armani coming towards me. I smiled at him, and he returned it. He kissed me and placed a hand on my stomach. "It seems like this child will be the most spoiled and loved kid in the world."He said as he pulled away.

"I guess so," I replied, looking into his eyes.

***2 months later***

Armani's Pov:

Isabella is four months pregnant, and for weeks she has been in a cranky mood. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend much time with her and our child, as she mentioned that we didn't check the baby's gender. Afterall it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, they will be loved equally. Although I truly desire a daughter, I understand that the chances of that happening are quite low.

Strangely, I feel an overwhelming sense of protectiveness, even though this isn't our first child. 

Today, I've made the decision to dedicate my entire day to Isabella. I'm currently waiting for her to come downstairs, as I've planned a special date for her. I hope she will appreciate it.

As I hear footsteps, I look up and see my beautiful wife descending the stairs. Gazing at her, I realize how fortunate I am to have her in my life. If someone had told me 21 years ago that I would love someone this deeply, I would have considered them insane. But now, as I look at the love of my life, I can confidently say that love is the most incredible feeling in the world. I raise my hand for her to take and smile at her.

"You look beautiful, amore," I say, adoringly looking at her.

"You don't look so bad yourself," she replies, smiling back at me.

Glancing at my watch, I inform her that we should leave now. We enter the living room only to find all of our sons engrossed in their phones.

"Boys, we're leaving. Alex, you'll be in charge while we're gone," I announce.

"Okay, Dad," Alex responds.

"When will you both be back?" Matteo asks, still glued to his phone.

"We'll be back by evening," Isabella replies as we exit the room.

We make our way to the garage and settle into my car. With only one thought in my mind, I start driving.

I hope today goes well.

If only i knew what the day held for us
