Emilia ran into her room and slammed the door closed. She couldn't help the tears that escaped her eyes. Why was this happening? Why did he hate her so much? Why did everyone hate her baby so much?
"Don't worry darling Mummy will always protect you," She said, rubbing her baby bump softly.
She walked to her bed and just laid there as tears spilled from her eyes.

After weighing the pros and the cons in his head Marcello decided to go after her and thank God her room was on the first floor or else he would not be able to sneak in from her balcony.
He slightly opened the door but stopped himself from entering when he heard his brothers voice.
"Emilia are you ok?"Gabriel asked as he took her into his embrace.
Marcello felt as if he wanted to tear off his brothers head.
"Yeah I'm fine," She replied while sniffling.
Marcello couldn't help but feel bad for her because he knew she was crying because of him.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Gabriel asked wiping away her tears with his hands.
Emilia shook her head as she replied,"No."
"I overheard my aunt and you're mother talking about you leaving to the U.K after the Spring Gala. Is it true?" Gabriel asked, hoping maybe she would tell him the news was false.
Emilia nodded her head," Yes it's true."
It was quite obvious that Gabriel tried not to show he was upset for Emilia's sake so he smiled as he took her hands in his," Come on then, let's make the best of your time while you're here."
Emilia couldn't help but smile as he practically pushed her out of the door.
"I have to change Gabriel. I look like a mess," Emilia said, taking a glimpse of her stretchy blue jeans, plain black baggy sweater, and her black converse.
"You look beautiful, now come on let's go," Gabriel demanded, pulling gently at her hand. This time Emilia laughed because he looked like an eager puppy waiting for its next meal.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked as they made their way out into the hall and into the garage.
"Pick a car." Gabriel motioned at the various collection of cars. Emilia's eyes scanned each of the cars carefully before they landed on a particular beauty.
She pointed at the yellow sports car while she stated with confidence,"The Lamborghini Aventador S Coupé."
Gabriel grabbed the keys to the car before he opened the door for Emilia to get in.
He got in the car and pressed a button for the garage to open." Marcello is going to kick my ass when we get back," Gabriel chuckled, making Emilia's figure tense at the mention of his name.
"Why?"She asked as they made there way out of the garage and onto the busy streets of New York.
"This car belongs to him but if it means making you smile I will gladly get my ass beat."Emilia's head cocked in his direction.
Was he crazy?
"It's not that big of a deal we can always take another one-"
He shook his head," It's no big deal. I usually use his cars anyway. I don't think he will be mad. He will be ok." Emilia's eyes widened. Was Gabriel sure they were talking about the same Marcello because for the short while she has gotten to know him he has been nothing but fine and is constantly mad? She decided to trust Gabriel and brush it off her shoulders just this once.
The car halted at the parking garage of one of the best amusement parks in New York. They both made their way out and to the entrance of the park.
Emilia examined her surroundings for a while before she asked,"What are we doing here?" She turned to look a Gabriel with her hands on her hips.
A smirk played it's way across his face."We're here to have fun, tesoro(darling). Now come on." The minute they got admitted into the park Gabriel began to walk towards the cart of cotton candy while Emilia trailed behind him carefully.
He soon stopped in front of the cart where a tall old man stood. "Can I have two, please?"The man smiled and gave him two blue sticks of cotton candy. Gabriel handed him a twenty telling him to keep the change
As he handed Emilia the stick of cotton candy Gabriel asked," So what do you want to do first?"
" I actually want to ride the carousel," She said as she took a big bite of her soft blue cotton candy.
Gabriel chuckled," What are you two?"
She placed her hands on her hips as she glared at him intently," Look who's talking?"
Gabriel raised his hands up in surrender," Touche."

Marcello's mind was racing with ideas of what Emilia and his brother could possibly be doing up until this hour and most of them involved their clothes off, which left an unsettling feeling in the pit of his stomach. He hated the fact it kept nagging at him no matter how hard he tried to push it at the back of his brain and swarm himself with work.
So, he did what every sane person would do. He waited for Emilia in her bedroom. He had to know what she was doing with him for so many hours?
Did she not know she needed as much rest she could get so the baby can remain healthy?
His train of thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Emilia entered her room with a smile plastered on her face. The smile soon turned into a frown when Marcello's eyes met hers.
"What were you doing out this late?" Marcello's questioned as his ocean blue eyes turned a few shades darker.
"Why do you care?"Emilia asked, glaring at him.
Truthfully Marcello had no idea why he cared so much. All he knew was he didn't want any man near her and especially not touching her, was that so much to ask.
"Don't answer my question with a question. Where were you?"He looked directly into her dark brown eyes waiting for an answer.
"I was with Gabriel."She responded but his intense gaze remained on her.
"Doing what exactly?"
Emilia was getting frustrated. She felt like she committed a crime and was being interrogated to admit something life threatening.
"We went to an amusement park." She replied, as she placed her hands firmly on her hips.
"That's it?" He asked, and she nodded.
Marcello felt a burden being lifted off his shoulders and for some odd reason a smile made its way across his lips.
"Good night,Emilia."
"Goodnight."
