♡ THE BEGINNING OF SERIES FOUR ♡
11th February 1925. The day Giorgia became Mrs. Shelby.
Isabel was five months old now, Charlie four, and things were going unusually well. No arguments, no tears, no doubts, no what if's. It almost filled Giorgia with dread. She and Tommy weren't supposed to have happy endings, they weren't supposed to dream sweet things and nothing was meant to go right for them. They were bad people, that's what they were destined for.
But, she savoured the fact that in the matter of the next few hours, she would no longer be Giorgia Russo, she would be Giorgia Shelby.
It was a strange, conflicting yet beautiful day for both of them. They'd both previously been married, they were both widows. They'd both fallen for someone they believed they shouldn't have, loved someone who they thought they were. Grace certainly wasn't who Tommy believed her to be, and as he said, he would never have married her if he knew what she was capable of. But saying that, Giorgia fell for a man who she thought was perfect, and he ended up having an affair. So, after all, that was said and done, both Thomas and Giorgia agreed to leave that in the past.
Tommy had told her he was over Grace, of course, he had a love for her because of Charlie, but he didn't miss nor long for him anymore. Giorgia couldn't say the same though, James still occupied a massive part of Giorgia's heart and she wasn't sure whether that was because they were young, foolish teenagers in love, or whether it was because of Alicia. But either way, she missed him. She would often lay in bed at night thinking of him, wondering where he was but cursing him for having an affair at the same time.
Gia had voiced her feelings to Tommy and she was shocked when he understood, offering to postpone the wedding for her to take time for herself. She, of course, didn't want that, she knew what she wanted and that was Tommy but was she making the wrong decision to marry him when she still loved James?
"So Gia," Ada asked while curling the brunette's hair, "are you going to stand up and sing today?"
"Don't be stupid," Gia scoffed, her mother doing her makeup and her sister painting her fingers and toes. "It's my wedding day, not a fucking show."
"Oh come on, mimma," (baby) Gia's mother, Lucia, spoke, "you have a beautiful voice."
"Hm, the voice of an angel," Ada teased.
"Mom I'm not singing," Gia groaned.
"You're stressed," Polly chimed, handing her a glass of champagne.
"Oh forgive me for not bouncing off the fucking walls," Giorgia huffed, "I'm shaking like a shitting dog."
"Calm down," Lucia laughed, "marriage is wonderful and wedding's, well we know how to throw them bambina."
"Yes alright," she rolled her eyes.
"Polly please ask Gia to sing today," Ada asked her aunt.
"Oh yes, that would be wonderful, Giorgia!"
"Oh fuck off the lot of ya," G sighed.
"I know you're stressed and tired and upset, but today is your day. Flush James out, today is about you and that very handsome fiancè of yours."
