Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Fifty Seven

One more December had arrived in London, and like most, the snow painted the ground a beautiful white, as did all the trees and pines that surrounded Icarus Rose's house.

That year the famous meeting organised by the Malik family would be a little more intimate because it would be the first in which the Malik twins would be, in addition to the fact that they had invited the Styles', Tomlinson's and the Mendes' to make the official announcement of Shawn's pregnancy .

All the guests were at their respective tables enjoying warm conversations about the good things he had brought that year, they were grateful that his ties with Icarus Rose were still standing, and they hoped that next year they will be strengthened more than ever with new investments.

The sound of a guard standing next to Niall and Shawn hitting a glass with a knife drew everyone's attention, and with a nod from Horan the alpha withdrew, leaving them alone.

"Good evening and thanks for coming, we know that most of you travel from regions quite far from here and we are happy that regardless of the distance you continue to attend our traditional dinner to celebrate Christmas and say goodbye to this great year" Niall said with a smile. warm tone while holding a glass of wine in his hands. "My husband and I wanted to take this opportunity to give thanks for all the good things that life has brought us, such as the birth of my two nephews and heirs to Icarus Rose," he said with a gesture to Liam and Zayn who were holding their babies with huge smiles on their faces, "the beautiful baby that is on the way, to Mr. Tomlinson and his omega, who will make me uncle again." Harry and Louis gave him a smile from the back tables, "my wedding to the most beautiful omega ever," everyone laughed, "my brother's wedding just a month ago and..." He looked at Shawn with a spark in his eyes that no one could describe even if they tried to. He passed his hand around the omega's waist and returned his gaze to the guests. "The greatest gift my omega has given me, a puppy that we hope to meet at the end of May."

The applause and shouts of congratulations were present throughout the place, causing the omega's eyes to fill with water and then hide his face in his alpha's neck.

Shawn's belly had just begun to show, his first four months had just passed, and the doctor had stated that it was safe to report the pregnancy as there was no longer any risk of miscarriage. The couple couldn't be happier.

The celebration continued with dinner, which was served around eight o'clock and after this each one of the heads of Icarus Rose, next to their partners, set out to talk with some of the partners; Niall and Shawn were with some partners from Russia, talking about the future contracts they hoped to sign once the new year arrives; Zayn and Liam were with partners from China about a possible expansion of territories; and finally Harry and Louis were talking about River Tomlinson possibly being baptised in the Vatican with some associates from Italy.

"Ti piacerebbe venire a casa nostra ad Atene quando nasce la tua bambina?" (Would you like to come to our home in Athens when your baby girl is born?) Asked one of the partners, Louis looked at Harry with a smile.

"Ci piacerebbe, apprezziamo il tuo invito, siamo sicuri che il tempo è molto meglio in estate." (We would love to, we appreciate your invitation, we are sure the weather is much better in summer.) Replied Louis cheerfully.

"Dovresti andare in Nuova Zelanda nella vigna di mio marito, ti assicuro che sarà uno dei migliori vini che tu abbia mai assaggiato." (You should go to New Zealand to my husband's vineyard, I assure you it will be one of the best wines you have ever tasted.) Added Harry and everyone laughed.

The conversation continued cheerfully, the partners asked Harry various questions about his pregnancy and about his perfect Italian, as it had taken them by surprise and the omega proudly replied that he had learned it at university and that he had always been a big fan of the Italian language and territory.
