Lily's POV. A sharp pain from my lower belly woke me up, I grimaced. I groaned sleepily as I try to find a comfortable position. I stirred on the bed, and sat up as the pain eased a little and I managed to get up on my feet. My belly felt heavier than before as I made my way into the bathroom to take a shower. Showered and dressed, I carefully made my way out of my room and down the stairs. The Romano family were already seated for breakfast, with Vincenzo sitting furtherest away from his mom, he was sat at the head of the table looking as handsome as always. I did not just think that. Vita was sitting beside her mom speedily typing on her phone. She never seemed to leave that device. Carla was thankfully cheerful today. She seemed to have gotten over her son's behavior towards her a few days ago. Ever since Vincenzo confronted his mother he never came down for breakfast or dinner, he stayed cooped up in his room or at work, until today. Carla notices me and gave me a war
Vincenzo's POV. The second we made it to the hospital, I immediately pulled the car to a stop and called out for an emergency stretcher. I carried her into my arms as the nurses wheeled the stretcher to our direction and placed her on it. They immediately wheeled her inside and into an emergency room, I attempted to follow them into the room but I was was stopped by a doctor. I glared at him and grabbed his collar. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I growled darkly. "I'm sorry, Mr Romano. But you're not allowed to be in the emergency room until we're sure what's wrong with her." The doctor spoke nervously. He should be nervous, alright. Because I'm seconds away from strangling the life out of him only one thing stopping me. Lillian. I tightened my grip on his collar." Now listen to me carefully, if anything happens to her or my child. I promise to make sure you don't have a career anymore, at least not in this lifetime." I seethed, making sure he knew how serious I was with thos
Vincenzo's POV. After waiting for five long hours, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room. The large door opened and the doctor and nurses stepped out.Five long hours of sitting at a very far distance away from them. I tried to search the doctor's expression to catch a glimpse of something - anything that would tell me she was fine. But I saw nothing. The doctors have learned how to mask their expression from the early stage of their career. My mother and Vita rushed over to him and gazing at him expectantly. "D-doctor how is she?" My mother asked. The doctor didn't give anything away. "Are you her mother?" He asked. "I'm her fiancée and I would suggest for you to start talking before I lose my shit." I spoke, casting him a dark glare. He cleared his throat, trying to act unaffected but I could see right through him. Except for the answers I eagerly wanted to hear. "There is no cause for Alarm. Spurts of blood are normal during the third trimester of pregnancy. " H
Lily's POV. A few days have passed since I was admitted to the hospital. And I have come to the conclusion that I hated hospitals.The boring white walls and tasteless food was starting to irritate me, thankfully I will be discharged today. Carla, Vita, Rico and even Antonio were the only company I had. They kept me company throughout the day. I think Antonio and I have agreed to be civil to each other because he wasn't scowling at me every second of the day. I appreciated their company, because if not for them, I would be drowning in my biggest fears. The doctor had told me about the risk of losing my baby or having a premature birth and I try to put up a cool facade with them. But they saw right through it when I would space out during our conversation. Vincenzo has been checking up on me too. But he never stayed to talk to me. He would only inquire about my health and ask if I needed anything before leaving. It hurts me that he isn't speaking to me, but I know it's all my faul
Lily's POV. The months flew by quickly and before I knew it, It was already nine months. Within this past two months my belly grew bigger that I couldn't see my feet when I stood. Sleeping has become so uncomfortable, I just never seem to find a comfortable position to lay in. My hormones have been all over the place, but the Romano's never complained about it. Penny and I have been talking more often during the past few months. Vincenzo has been extra protective of me, and it became worse when the doctor announced that I could go into labor anytime. He never let me walk down the stairs alone and if he wasn't there to do it, Vee would do it. He has decided to forgive his sister for not telling him about the bleeding, it would be unfair to forgive me and still be angry with her. So far, there haven't been attacks from his rival. It was peaceful but I didn't forget about it. I knew it was the calm before the storm. Everyone did. The security were still intact and the soldiers were a
Two hours passed by painfully slow. I've been pushing and pushing and at some I felt like I was about to fall apart. The pain was so intense that I didn't think I could do it anymore. Beads of sweat broke out of my forehead. My hair was a mess and the nurses are urging me to continue pushing. "Push!" I ground my teeth as I pushed again and collapsed on the bed breathing heavily. "Please get Vincenzo. I don't . . . think I can do this." I gasped as another strong contraction hit me. "I'll go get him." One of the nurses said and got out of the room. "You have to continue pushing. Your husband will be here any minute." If we were in another situation, I would've corrected her. But all I wanted to do right now was get this damn baby out of me. A few moments later, the nurse returned with Vincenzo trailing behind her. He came to my side and held my hands giving it a comforting squeeze, he gently brushed my hair from my forehead. Tears blurred my vision as another contraction hit the p
Lily's POV. I woke up to the sight of Vincenzo carrying our sleeping son. I watched quietly as he gazed at Leandre with a soft expression on his face. The sleeping baby squirmed and nuzzled gently into his father's chest. Vincenzo finally turned to me and smiled gently in my direction causing my heart to beat a little faster in my chest. "Have you been awake for long?" I shook my head. "I was enjoying the view." I admitted sheepishly. "I -" His words were interrupted by a shrill cry. For such a small baby, Andre had the lungs of an adult. Vincenzo winced a little at the sound making me chuckle. I scooped him into my arms. I made myself conformable by sitting up with my back straight and lap flat. I loosened the hospital gown a little enough to bring out my breasts. He immediately stopped crying and latched on my nipple. Vincenzo watched me with dark eyes and that was when I realized my other breast was bare. I quickly covered it up blushing in embarrassment. "Now now, you don'
Lily's POV. “You look tired.” A voice announced from the doorway. I looked up to find Nicolas, Vincenzo's best friend standing in the doorway. Did I mention that he came to Italy a day after my delivery? It's been six weeks since I was discharged from the hospital and taken back to the mansion. Things has been going smoothly, it was oddly calm. The realization that this could be the calm before the storm, frightens me. But the journey into motherhood was one I hadn't expected, exhaustion weighed heavily on my shoulders as Andre finally fell asleep in my arms. He's been crying non stop since dawn of the day and the instant his head touched the mattress, his eyes would pop open and he would scream with all his might. After several attempts of putting him to bed and failing, I realized he only wanted to sleep in my arms. I would have considered it a sweet gesture if my arms weren't currently sore and numb from carrying him in my arms. The past one month and two weeks had been hell fo
