-Angelo's POV-

I didn't feel like going back to the main mafia house after taking Chloe back home, so I just stayed with her and Sophia. The two of them fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. Soph could probably understand most of it, but Chloe needed the subtitles, and reading always put her to sleep. Always.

Chloe was nestled up to me whilst Sophia was nestled up to her and Bandit was at the very end of the couch, much to my dismay. Just because I didn't go back to the mafia house, doesn't mean my work was complete. I still had things I needed to do, but I didn't want to wake either one of them up.

I got up oh so very slowly, making sure that I didn't disturb Chloe too much. Success.

I grabbed my phone off the coffee table and headed for the front door, Bandit following closely behind. For a dog that seemed to hate me, he sure did love following me around.

I walked outside and he ran past, but the last thing I was about to do right now was chase a fucking dog around. I sat down on the concrete step and started scrolling through the contacts on my phone, finally reaching the person I wanted. I hit the call button and waited.

I didn't have to wait long, but it was still longer than I had the patience for, "Ciao," he said, very boringly, "Why are you calling me back? It's been less than two hours. How do you already know?"

"I obviously went to the fucking doctor or I wouldn't be speaking with you, now would I?" There was nothing I loved more than getting straight to the point, and my old man sucked ass at that.

"Why so hostile, Angelo?"

"You frustrate me."

"So, it's a boy is what you're saying. I don't believe you. You've always been a liar."

I sighed, "I can send you the fucking ultrasound picture if you really think I'm lying to you. I can guarantee you it's a boy."

"Fine, I'll believe you for now, but if it comes out with female parts, I will put you and your entire family in the fucking ground."

"Are you going to dig yourself a hole too then? Because last time I checked, you were mio padre."

He laughed slightly, "Here are my terms. Listen closely because I will only say them once." I waited for a second before he continued speaking, "I want my spot back as Boss and I want a warm welcome, not one of those bull shit parties everyone else gets. It needs to be a big party, with everyone from the Family, and I do mean everyone. And..." He trailed off, "I will not help you, until I have seen with my own goddamn eyes that this bambino is actually a boy. Meaning, his birthday is when I will finally take action against the Rossi's. However; if Lorenzo's son gets here before yours does, I am obligated to help him and not you. When is the due date?"

If it was an actual thing that could happen, I'm sure my blood would have been boiling from the anger his words brought upon me, "April 19, four months away."

"Hmmm...Lorenzo said Sienna's is April 1. You two battle it out and tell me how it works out."

-Chloe's POV / 3 Months Later-

"I can't believe you're letting him come back into the Family, not only that, but you're letting him take your spot," I said as Angelo zipped the back of my dress up. It barely fit me anymore. "He shot you Angelo, and he was going to shoot Sophia. How many times has he threatened us? Why the hell does he get to come back?"

Angelo wrapped his arms around my ever so expanding waist, and rested his chin on my shoulder, "Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal. There are other things you should be more worried about than this. If anything, having him be the head of the Family is safer," he placed a single kiss on my neck before dropping his arms from around me and walking out of the bathroom.
