GIOVANNI'S POV

A tune was under my breath as I moved around the kitchen, arranging the pasta on the plate with a proud smile.

A part of me was unsure if I would be able to pull the Bolognese sauce but I did and it smelled incredible. I placed the plate on the counter in front of her and nodded.

"Bon appetit."

I watched as she eyed the plate with an unsure expression. She picked up the fork and my breath froze in my throat as she lifted it to her mouth and chewed.

She made a small noise and then it turned into a moan, her eyes rolling and a chuckle slipped from my mouth.

"That good?" She bobbed her head but didn't say a word, rushing through the plate and I laughed at her reaction, "slow down or you'll have an indigestion."

She shook her head, "this is really good," she moaned under her breath, kicking her legs with excitement. "I didn't know you could cook this well."

I shrugged, leaning over the counter. "I have quite the experience. After all, I own a chain of restaurants."

    Later in the day, I was discharged by the doctors who assured me that I was better now. I just needed to rest and eat better.My coworkers had left a few minutes ago after telling me that I had the week off. Michelle, on the other hand, was preparing to take me home. "I was thinking about pizza for dinner," Michelle said with a laugh and I hummed playfully. "There's this new place I found online and the reviews are good."I groaned, "what about Chinese? I would kill for some chow mein right now-"The door pulled open and Giovanni walked inside, the room instantly falling quiet. Michelle watched him narrowed eyes while my breath had frozen. "The doctor said you can leave," he stated simply, staring at me dead in the eye. "You're coming with me, I don't trust you'll stay out of trouble on your own."Michell scoffed, walking towards him. "Excuse you, she's not alone. She's with me."He turned to her, "and where were you when she was harming herself and the baby?"Michelle opened and cl

    I could hear the beeping sound of a monitor and sniffling. My eyelids flickered, an exhausted groan slipping from my mouth. When my eyes finally opened, I was met with the bright blinding lights from the ceiling overhead. Michelle gasped, leaning over my face."She's awake! Oh my gosh!" She rushed over to the door, yelling. "Doctor! Is anyone there!?" The sound of rapid footsteps followed and I could faintly hear the Doctor's calming voice asking me questions. "Miss Munroe, can you hear me?" I nodded, "yes," came out as a feeble whisper.The nurses checked my vitals and they murmured between each other. Michelle stood behind them, her fingers nervously working together. "Will she be okay? What about the baby?" The doctor turned to face her with a smile. "You don't have to worry, both the mother and child are safe." Michelle sighed in relief and I did too, an exhale leaving mouth. My hand shakily found my bump and a whimper left me when I felt it, warm and still there.The docto

    I groaned in frustration, pulling off the t-shirt and shrugging on another one. It was Dad's so it looked slightly bigger on me and I loved it. My room was a mess, I'd run out of clothes to wear so I had to raid Dad's closet to find something more appropriate My baby bump was becoming more obvious now and I couldn't wear a hoodie in this suffocating heat. My t-shirts weren't cutting it anymore and Michelle refused to lend me any of her own.In her own words, she wouldn't take part in the hoax I was playing. I'd tried to explain it to her a dozen times but she wouldn't listen. Three months had rapidly gone by, I was slowly accepting my fate of becoming a single mother although it hadn't been easy. I was enjoying every phase of it and also saving up for the hospital bills and the nursery. I wanted my baby to have the best care possible and I was doing whatever it took, even if it meant working overtime. No one at Tate's place knew I was pregnant, I hadn't found the right time to te

    GIOVANNI'S POV An exhausted yawn slipped out of my mouth and I raked my fingers through my already messy hair. The dark strands were becoming longer and I'd planned on cutting it earlier last week but I wasn't willing to spend a minute in the salon. This week has been crazy, from Miguel's betrayal to retrieving the stolen goods. I wanted to kill him and dump his body in a river but Paolo had suggested we let him since that was what we promised. "Sir Giovanni," Darcy's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I found her standing by the staircase. "Welcome home." I managed a smile and a wave, "Hello, Darcy. How's it going?""Fine, there's a casserole for dinner. I kept it for you," I was already halfway through the hall when she said that. I grimaced, and scratched the back of my head. "I'm not really in the mood to eat tonight." "You've been saying that for the past two weeks," she frowned. "How long will you keep this attitude?" I didn't like seeing her angry so I took her han

    After the lunch break incident, everyone basically went back to their positions. The doors were open and customers were trooping in again. "I'm sorry that happened to you, Daisy," Betty and Tahlia said to me before we went back to manning the counters. "It's fine, I'm good," I said with a smile. "I just don't want things to be awkward between us.""It won't," Tahlia responded before reaching out for a hug. Normalcy returned and Tate's place was bustling with life and the atmosphere of vivacity returned again. My hands worked different orders, but I was careful not to mess up the latte art, smiling when I gave the customers their orders and counting change deftly. "I'd like two large donuts and a double shot americano," a feminine voice echoed behind me and I turned to yell out the pastry order to Moose. "Did you get that, Moose?""Sure thing, boss," he waved, winking at me through the window and I smiled. Amusement turned into surprise when I saw the one who owned the order. It
