Marco

Chapter Thirty One

"Morning my little jellybean" I say.

"Da-Dadda say, Mawco no go outside. Dadda go in caw" he says as he tries not to stutter. He stutters when he's excited or scared.

"Dadda's gone?" I ask.

"Mhmm, Dadda go bye-bye" he giggles.

"And why's my baby so happy, mm?" I ask as I stroke his hair.

"Mawco stay wif Mamma, al-all aloneeee" he says happily. Silly baby.

"Mmm, you want Mamma all to yourself huh?" I say teasingly.

He giggles and I take the opportunity to tickle him. He rolls over and laughs uncontrollably.

"St-stop! Mamma" he says in between giggles.

I stop tickling him and get out of bed.

"Let's go make some pancakes baby" I say.

"Yayyy, pan pan" he gets off the bed and runs out the room.

I'm still in pain but I try my best to pretend to chase him.

A few hours later.

I finally hear the door open and close and very tired looking Stefano walks in with his jacket on his arm.

He walks in to where I'm sitting on the couch. Marco's on the carpet and his eyes are glued to the cartoons playing on the TV.

"Hey baby" I say as Stefano sits next to me.

He hums and lays down, putting his head on my lap. He stares up into my eyes and flashes me a tired smile.

"Hard day at the office?" I ask.

"You have no idea" he says. He closes his eyes but puckers his lips, asking for a kiss.

I laugh quietly and lean down to kiss him.

Marco adorably gets up from the carpet and walks to me.

"Mamma, oh, Hello Dadda" he says.

Stefano pretends to be asleep and I play along.

"Shh, Dadda's very tired okay baby?" I say.

"Okay, Dadda sleepy. Shh Mamma, don't wake Dadda, undewstand?" he says.

Stefano immediately starts laughing and I join him.

"Dadda no sleeping!" Marco says.

We continue laughing and Marco climbs onto Stefano. He hugs his dad and kisses him on the forehead.

Stefano smiles and hugs him back. He closes his eyes again and so does Marco. I take a picture of them and post it on my insta.

Jeong and I are currently on our way to Stefano's house. Amara is still pissed at us for making out while Stefano was in a coma. She never said she forgave us or anything, she just greeted us and walked away.

"Don't worry babe, I'm sure my sister has forgiven you by now" Jeong says as he strokes my bare tigh.

"Me?!, you were also there" I say, frustrated.

"Yeah, but it's your brother." He says with a shrug.

I scoff and remove his hand from my tigh. He moves it back and crawls his hand further up my skirt.

"Don't remove my hand love, unless you want to be punished here and now" he says.

"You're just lucky I missed you. You've been gone for a month and a half." I pout.

We stop at a red light and he leans over to kiss my cheek.

"I'm sorry baby. Ughh, she's probably also gonna be mad that I didn't tell her I landed yesterday" he groans.

The rest of the car ride we sit in silence until we finally arrive.

"Do you really think the chicken nuggets are gonna help us?" I ask Jeong as we get out.

"Trust me" he simply says.

He rings the doorbell and after a few minutes Amara opens the door with a sleepy Marco in her arms. So cute.

Jeong holds up the Mcdonalds bag and she snatches it out of his hands before slamming the door shut.

'trust me' he said.
