Love vs. Law

Chapter 46

"Babe we dont need new plates." Luca groaned as we walked around the home section at Nordstroms
"I think we do. Look at these Kate Spade ones." I said holding up a plate as he rolled his eyes and Dante laughed
"Dante likes them." I shrugged pointing to a box and the associate grabbed it to put with the rest of our stuff
"Carrie what are you trying to prove here?" Reid asked not getting what I was doing
"I pissed her off and now shes pissing me off." He mumbled looking into the stroller
"Luca is irritated at me because when I get mad at him, I buy all new stuff for our house." I smiled looking at wine glasses
"This is the fifth time she has done this since we have been married." He said making JJ laugh
"I havent even gotten to the clothes yet. I think we all three need a whole new wardrobe." I smiled
"Dante throws up on everything. That means more laundry for you to do." He said as I shrugged
"Wait you do your own laundry?" Reid asked as JJ looked at me confused
"Yes. I hate when others do it. I only take Luca's suits and my dresses to the cleaners but I do all the laundry and ironing. I have to be some what domesticated." I shrugged as Reid looked at me still confused
"All this money and thats the one thing you dont use it for is maid that will do it." He said as I stopped walking
"We dont have maids. We have a house cleaner, pool guy and landscapers that come every other week. We do spot cleaning and the cooking ourselves. Luca's parents have maids and help." I said getting it right
"Carrie you cook still?" JJ asked
"Yes. I like to. I have been able to expand it further with all the traveling. We take cooking lessons in every country." I smiled as Luca seemed proud in me
"She is almost as good as my mom." He said as we laughed
"I know shes good. Our mom use to have her cook for all of church." She said as I now look at silverware
"No." Luca said as I picked up a fork
"JJ do you need new stuff?" I asked smiling
"Sure. Can I have all your dishes?" She asked
"You dont want new?" I asked grinning
"I will just take what you have now. Its new anyway." She laughed as I shrugged
"I think its clothes shopping." I said looking at her as Luca and Reid both said no under their breaths

"What a great shopping trip." I said happily as I carried Dante into the house
"All this shit is unnecessary." Luca said as his men kept bringing stuff in
"I wanted to dress differently here." I shrugged and pointed up to our room for all the clothes to go to
"And what are you going to do with the clothes you have here." JJ asked
"Wanna take a look at them?" I asked as she nodded and we walked up to our room
"Carrie I get it now." She said confusing me
"The shopping and this lifestyle. I wouldnt give it up either. You spent thousands of dollars today without any remorse just because you were mad at Luca." She laughed
"Its fun sometimes. But I go to Target and Whole Foods mainly. I like shopping but I dont like to go out all the time. I only shop once a week with Kat and its mainly her doing the spending." I shrugged as I bounced Dante around so he would fall back asleep
"Wait is this the dress I saw and like but was too expensive?" She asked looking in the first bag
"Yes. I knew you liked it." I said as she pulled it out
"Carrie this is way to much. It was like three-hundred dollars." She said shaking her head and putting it back
"I didnt buy it. I found your size and Luca bought it. Why dont you wear it for a night out with Will and we watch the boys?" I said as she just looked at the dress making me take it from her and take the tags off
"It cant be returned now. Tags on policy." I shrugged as she looked upset
"JJ. Please let us do stuff for you. Mom didnt seem to mind after we paid off her bills. I bought you a dress for a date night that we will even pay for. You work way to hard." I smiled as she smiled back
"Fine but you keep it after that night." She said finally agreeing
"I would but its not my size." I shrugged going into my closet
"We are the same size." She laughed taking Dante from me as she looked around the closet full of clothes
"My trainer is coming next week and I will be back to a size three in two months." I laughed
"Did you gain any weight while pregnant?" She asked
"I went the next size up." I shrugged
"What were you before?" She asked
"A five. But I did gain like 20 pounds with Dante. But lost a lot of it because of Austin." I sighed
"Can you please tell me what happened?" She asked and I nodded taking Dante back and sitting on our bed knowing he was hungry
"Austin took me to Russia. Claimed he still loved me and I was only his. He would hit me but never be to violent because of the baby. He controlled me and I stopped eating as much as my way of being in control. Thats why Dante was born early. I was dehydrated and malnourished I guess and had to gain a lot of weight. But being a mafia wife you have to be thin and perfect." I sighed
"Carrie Luca thinks your perfect." She said
"I know he does. Thats why I love him. But I do it for me." I smiled at a eating Dante
"Today you looked fine." She laughed
"I was in jeans and a flannel. I have to dress normal here. But what I wore was still designer. This outfit still cost me a pretty penny." I laughed making her laugh too
"Why did you fall in love with him?" She asked
"I dont know. I met him at his club and wanted nothing to do with him but he was persistent to have me. I realized how great of a man he was first before all of the other stuff. He took care of me and protected me." I sighed as Dante unlatched and fell asleep
"Do you regret falling of the face of the Earth?" She asked
"Yes and no. Yes because I have missed out on so much of everyones lives. But no because I didnt like who I was. I was stuck in this small town for what seems like ever and now I am traveling the world seeing things I never thought was possible. I fell in love with an amazing man and we have a baby. I dont have to worry about bills like mom and dad did. I can live free for once." I smiled thinking of everything Luca has given me
"If you say so. Can I stay here tonight? I dont want to go where the team is staying. Its that one hotel." She said as I laughed knowing exactly what one
"JJ you can stay her as long as you want but your team cant even the boys and Will can." I smiled as she got up to call Will I assumed
