One Month Later
"Go get your son." I groaned hearing him cry for the third time this night just getting a moan from Luca
"Fine. I will do it again." I said throwing the blankets off me and going to his room
"Whats wrong this time Dante?" I asked unswaddling him and walking him around his room
"I really need sleep." I said like he understood what I was saying as he still cried
"Your daddy is no help. He could sleep through an explosion. Why cant you take after him for sleep?" I asked as a lump in my throat formed
"I dont know what to do Dante? You are always crying and the doctor said you are fine. You are changed and cleaned. I fed you the last time you woke me up." I said as tears started to fall
"Please be an easier baby. I will buy you whatever you want when you grow up. Please just stop crying." I said begging with an almost two month year old baby at this time
"Carrie?" Marco asked from the doorway
"Go away Marco." I sighed still walking and bouncing the crying baby and crying myself
"You need help." He said
"I have help and he is asleep in bed." I said raising my voice
"Carrie give me Dante and go back to sleep. You can trust me ok. You need sleep." He said as I looked at him as if he grew another head
"Carrie please. I can watch him. I know where you have the extra bottles. It is four in the morning and the third time you have had to be in here tonight. I know this is happening every night. Let me help." He said as I reluctantly gave in and handed him Dante
"Fine. But if he doesnt stop in the next hour wake me." I demanded wiping my tears away as he nodded
I didnt go back to mine and Lucas room but to a guest room down the hall. I was too mad at Luca to sleep next to him and desperate enough to not hear Dantes crying for a few hours. I finally got comfortable and laid down falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

"Carrie wake up." A voice said nudging me
"Just five more minutes." I begged
"Babe you need to wake up. Dante is hungry and we are out of bottles." Luca said and I opened my eyes sitting up
"What time is it?" I asked confused
"Almost noon." He said smiling
"Why wasnt I woken up for his breakfast at seven-thirty?" I asked even more confused
"Marco told me about last night. Im sorry I didnt get up at all." He said handing me over a wide awake hungry baby
"You never get up Luca. Its been me for the last two and a half weeks waking up to check on him in the middle of the night three to four times." I said getting Dante situated
"Bello I am sorry. I will do all the night shifts from now on." He said pleading with me
"Ya right. You say that now but then you will start coming home late from work or having to carry out a drop. Leaving me alone with Dante." I said rolling my eyes
"Babe I promise I will." He said with a puppy dog face
"I think tomorrow I deserve a shopping spree and a spa day." I said looking down at Dante as he ate away looking at me with his bright blue eyes
"Anything you want. I will take him all day and will only text you for emergency's." He said lifting my chin to look at him
"I love you." I said with a slight smile
"I love you too baby mama." He said giving me a light kiss on my forehead
"He needs to switch." I laughed as he pulled away and I switched him to the other side
"Hey boss... oh shit. Sorry." Marco said opening the door and seeing me completely shirtless before slamming the door
"In a minute Marco. My family needs me right now." He said as he responded with a weak ok
"You better go make sure he is ok." I laughed as he nodded and left us alone
"Silly boys dont know how to handle boobs, but you my little devil love my boobs." I laughed as he detached from me and gave me a milk drunk smile

"Hey guys." I said walking into the kitchen as Marco couldnt make eye contact with me as I carried Dante
"Babe." Luca said kissing my cheek giving me a glass of water
"What happened between you two?" Pauls asked confused at Marcos reaction
"He walked in on my breastfeeding Dante. I wasnt covered." I laughed at his embarrassment
"I punched him in the jaw for not knocking and getting permission to come in and for seeing my wife shirtless." Luca shrugged like it was no big deal taking Dante from me so I could eat
"So shopping and spa day tomorrow?" Paul asked and I nodded
"You excited?" I asked knowing he would just shrug
"Considering I just have to follow you and stand out front the door. It sounds like an easy day." He laughed
"Maybe we can go to Kellys restaurant." I suggested making Paul smile
"Babe my mom wants us over tonight." Luca said looking up from his phone
"Ok. Let me try to put normal adult clothes on." I laughed leaving him with Dante
"What do you mean adult clothes?" Luca asked walking into our closet
"Real clothes not leggings and your shirts that has this little devils spit up on it." I laughed trying to pull on a pair of jeans barley getting them on
"You are one sexy mother." He said turning me around to look in the mirror
"Just wait til I can work out again." I laughed pulling on a plain black shirt and my denim jacket

"My little diavolo(devil)." Gemma said taking his carseat away from Luca
"Whats up with the devil nickname?" Angelo asked laughing making Dante cry
"That. That is the reason we call him little devil." Luca laughed watching Gemma try to calm him down
"What is that sound? Make it stop." Kat said wearing sunglasses stumbling into the living room making me roll my eyes
"Its your nephew and he never stops crying since he has been home." Luca said bitterly
"Dante is here?" She asked taking off the sunglasses looking visually different
"Not for you." I said getting up and taking him away from Momma to try to get him to stop crying out on the patio
"Can we talk?" She asked coming out and closing the door behind her as I shrugged finally getting Dante quiet by playing with my wedding ring
