~ Lyla's P.O.V ~
"Calm down Lyla, he will be here soon," Emma tried to calm me down. The baby was coming and it hurt like hell.

Giovanni has promised to be here but he hadn't been at home when my water had broken.

"Lyla you need to push," Mahalia said to me and I squeezed Emma's hand as I shook my head.

"Giovanni...needs to be here. He wants to see the baby," I tell them, tears falling down my cheeks. Magarita who was next to Emma, wiped my forehead and tried to calm me down.

The door bursts open and Giovanni rushes in. He is cover from head to toe already.

"Baby. I'm sorry I know—"

"Will you go next to her so we can deliver the child," Mahalia snaps at him. He gives her a glare but moves to my other side and I grip his hand.

"You need to push," she tells me and with all my strength I do.

I fall back on the pillow, somewhat exhausted.

"You can do this baby. You can," Giovanni whispers to me and kisses me on the forehead.

"This is all your fault you bast**d. This is all—" I cry out in pain and push once more.

"I love you so much, Lyla, he tells me and I glare at him. "I hate you," I say and push again.

The hospital room is filled with the sound of my baby crying. Mahalia lifts the baby into her arms.

"It's a boy," she gleams before bringing the baby to me. I start to cry more as I stare at the cutest baby on the planet.

"He is so cute," Emma says and gently touches his nose. I look up at Giovanni when I notice his silence.

He is crying as he stares at the boy in my arms. His blue gaze travel to me then the baby.

"We will need to clean him up now. Your baby is in good hands," Mahalia says. I'm reluctant to let go but I know I have to.

I am left alone with Giovanni. "I love you so much," he tells me before kissing me.

Another female doctor walks in and Giovanni leaves the room.

I open my eyes to see Giovanni in the room, holding our son in his hands. "You look just like me, you little tyrant. I love both you and much so very much," he whispers to the sleeping baby.

"With the way you're holding him, I don't think you'll let go," I say and he chuckles before walking beside me. I was tired but not too tired to hold my baby.

He whimpers and I shush him and gently rock him.

"I've had sleepless nights all because of you and now I know it was all worth it," Giovanni says to the baby.

I look up at him and cup his rough cheeks.

"And now, we're one happy family, I tell him and he smiles.

"Very soon we will be one big happy family," he says and I laugh. I hit him on the chest before looking down at the baby once more.

"You've made me the happiest man alive, Lyla. You have given me love and now a son. Thank you for that," he says to me.

"I love you.... What are we going to name him?" I ask.

"What would you like to name him?" he asks me.

"I was thinking Carlos Alberto Machiavelli," I say and look up at him to see if he approved.

"I love it. I promise to protect the both of you with my life. Until my dying days will I be apart from you Lyla Machiavelli," he whispers before kissing me.

This was definitely not the way imagined my life would've been. A loving husband and my beautiful son.

If I had to change anything, I wouldn't. Not a single would be changed from my bittersweet life because if I'd never decided to work as a maid, I wouldn't be here.

I wouldn't have my baby in my hands and the support of the love of my life.
