Danielle's POV:
The next morning comes by quickly and everyone is gathering in the living room with whatever they packed. I have two suitcases for Rose and I, plus a backpack. Rose also insisted on taking a backpack so Luca went out and bought her a small pink bag with purple stripes. So she filled it with her dolls that she desperately needed to bring.
Aurora asked for Rose and I to go to the garden, right about now actually. She said that she has something to tell everyone, that is very exciting. My guess is it has something to do with the baby but I'm not sure yet. The only other thing it could possibly be is that Aurora and Antonio are engaged, but that definitely wouldn't be the case. Aurora would be too excited to share the news and would've yelled it to everyone as soon as it happened.
"Sweetheart, we have to go see Aurora now," I tell Rose as she messes with the straps of her new backpack.
"Wets go momma!" Rose smiles up at me. "I

"Nic?" I ask once we are a little ways from the house. He hums to acknowledge that he heard me and I continue to talk, "when's your birthday?""Where did that come from?" He asks, a little taken back by my question."Well we don't know a lot about each other, but I want to get to know you," I shrug my shoulders. "Now seems like a good time because we have an hour without anyone being able to interrupt us.""December thirtieth," he says and quickly glances my way, "1989.""You're only twenty-eight?" I ask after quickly doing the math in my head."How old are you?" He asks in response, "when's your birthday.""I'm only twenty-two," I tell him, "my birthday is May thirtieth.""Wait, you're only twenty-two?" He asks shocked and I nod my head."Yep," I say, popping the 'p', "born in 1996.""Damn," he mutters and he tightens his grip on my hand slightly. "Any brothers or sisters?""Two, one brother and one sister," I tell him.

Nicola's POV:It has already been a few days since we've arrived at the safe house. Dad and I have been making arrangements to attack the French. A few of our men at the main house are keeping us updated on the French. My father is helping me get ready for the drive back to the main house, we are set to leave in an hour. Our men back at that house said that the French are less than a days trip away, so we need to get to them before they get to the house."Figlio," dad says as I put my vest on, "you need to eat before we go. Your mother will kill you herself if you left before you ate.""Are the men ready to go?" I ask as I load a pistol before I put it in the holster that's around my waist."They will have to come down to get their vests but that is it," dad tells me as he stands up. "Go get something to eat, everything is already set.""I know, I just have to make sure everything goes according to plan," I tell him, grabb

"Nico! They don't have anymore back ups. You need to get through these men fast to get to Perez," Stefano says through my ear piece. "Maximo is taking a van back to the main house. We have at least eight men hurt.""Make sure you get through the house to make sure they are ready," I reply. I grab my pistol and turn around the corner to make sure there is no one coming my way. I notice movement and duck back around the corner. I poke my head around and see that it is Luca walking out. I step out from behind the wall and Luca notices me. I jog over to him and that's when I notice one of the French aiming their gun towards the two of us."Mario found Perez-" Luca starts and that's when it's like time slows down."Luca move!" I shout and push Luca down to get him out of the way. I go to move as well but all I feel is a intense burning throughout my whole entire torso. I go to scream but nothing comes out and that's when Luca stands up and shoots the man who shot at

"We have to get going," I rush out as I put my bag over my shoulder. "We still have a two hour drive.""We are almost set to leave," Alcee tells me as she grabs her own bag. "The cars will leave shortly." I go to say something but Alcee just gives me a look. I keep my mouth shut and Alcee grins before she takes Rose's hand. She leads us down to the cars to pack them up. A lot of the men that went out yesterday came back to help pack up everything. They spent most of their time carrying things down to the cars and getting their own belongings."First car is leaving now if you are ready," Antonio tells me as I get outside."Where is it?" I ask and he leads me over to the grey car. "Who is driving it?""Me," he replies as he opens up the trunk. He puts Rose's bags in first before mine and Alcee's. I quickly buckle in the car seat that Antonio brought over so Rose can get in. Once she is buckled in I go around the car to sit in the back with her, Alcee is up

Two days.Two days of waiting.Two days of waiting, waiting to hear about Nic.Two days of not having a clue on what is wrong.Two days in the dark."Dani," Aurora says as she sits nexts to me at the table. "They told us how it happened and what it hit.""What happened? Is it going to effect him permanently? Will he live?" I rush out questions and Aurora has to stop me."He's okay," she tells me and I sigh in relief. "They say he should be out of the coma in the next few hours.""Coma!" I shout and Aurora calms me down."Medically induced," she stops me and I stop panicking. "That's why we haven't heard of him asking for anyone. He's been asleep the past few days.""So what exactly happened?" I asked remembering why she came to me in the first place."He was hit twice," Aurora starts off with and my eyes widen. "It hit his right shoulder, that one wasn't as bad. It was easy to remove and they stitched it right up.

Once I reached the door that I've stared at the past couple days, I bang my fist against it. After a few knocks the door swings open. Viviana stands there with an angered look across her face. Her hands are placed on her hips, and her mouth is in a straight line."Danielle! We have a resting patient in side! He needs to sleep!" Viviana scolds me. "He is still very weak at the moment.""I know he's awake," I rush out. "I need to see him." I stare at Viviana with a pleading look. Her arms move to cross over her chest and she just stares at me. "Please," I beg, "I haven't been told anything about him until today. I've waited and waited and I can't do it anymore, knowing he's okay. Please Viviana.""He fell asleep again not to long ago," Viviana says with a pitiful look on her face. "I'll have someone get you the moment he wakes up again. Affare?" My eyebrows furrow at the last word, having no idea what she said. "Deal?"Oh deal, I shake my head yes

The counters in the kitchen are covered in various ingredients, especially flour. Rose's nose and cheeks have flour on them as well, plus a few of her curls that have fallen an her face. Luca has patted my face with his flour covered hands, leaving my entire face covered. I may or may not have dumped the whole bag of flour on him in return. Oh and Kiyara may or may not have walked in and just laughed."Luca! Where is he? Is he okay? Oh my poor baby," a woman yelled at Luca as she ran into the kitchen. Kiyara rolls her eyes at the woman and Rose buries her face into Luca's neck. I recognized her from the time I was in Nic's room and she barged in.---------------------"Fanculo," Nic muttered and I avoided looking at both Nic and the woman. "Who the hell is that babe?"---------------------Oh how I love first impressions. I believe her name is Sofia but it could be Sofie. By the look on her face right now she remembers me

It's been a week since Nic woke up and he's already trying to over work himself. He's locked up in his office all day doing paperwork that Mr. Rosi couldn't keep up on. Plus there's some secret mission going on and only like ten people know about it.Since Nic is too occupied at the moment, I've seen him twice. Well I've seen him multiple times when I'd bring his meal to him but I haven't held a conversation with him. It's like he's ignoring me again, even though everything seemed fine when he woke up. I chose to ignore it because I'm too exhausted to argue. I mean I literally never slept while he was in his coma, now I'm making sure everything is perfect for him. There isn't really a reason why I guess."Momma! Your phone!" Rose exclaims as she runs into the kitchen. I grab my phone from her hands and see that someone is calling me, more like my sister.I haven't spoke to my family all week really, probably because I'm over working. Shocked- sarcasm at its fine
