6 Years Later............

Death, loss is something all of us have to deal with some point in our lives. Standing here looking at all these graves of loved ones that once were and is now they are lost to eternal sleep.

Accepting and letting go is a gradual process. Some never accept and die with their loved ones even though they are still living and breathing.

Me on the other hand, I have dealt with the death and loss I've experienced, I thus decided to live every day to the fullest and appreciate and love the ones that's still alive.

I look down and place the white roses I've been holding in my palm for the past thirty minutes on the grave of my mother. I've been standing here taking in the surroundings for just as long. As I stood up straight, I felt a hand on my back comforting me.

Today would have been her birthday. I make sure to bring her flowers every year as a reminder of the strong woman she was and the one she gave birth to. I made peace with her death. She was one of the lucky ones to be able to find peace while we still have to navigate through this cruel world.

I've come a long way in the last few years. I've lost people I've loved but the will within me compel me to remain standing.

"Are you ready" I glance over my shoulder at the love of my life and nod as he takes my hand into his as we silently walk to our car.

As we drove home my mind replayed the events of my life after the day I was shot.

I woke up after being in a coma for two months with Domenico by my side making sure I received the best care possible. That was also the day I found out I was paralyzed from the neck down due to two bullets hitting me in the back, luckily it was only temporary as my body had to take its time to heal.

It took another year to fully recover as I had to learn how to walk and do things on my own again, but a part of my heart took a little longer. The day I was shot was the day I lost my little nugget.

Some say not meeting your child makes it a little easier, but I can assure you that's a lie. You process the loss the same as you would any person you've lost.

The paralysis accompanied by the loss caused a heavy bout of depression. I blamed myself for putting my child's life in danger and having no regard for the child I've been carrying. On the other hand, if I did not put everything in place and helped, so many people would have died.

So, my baby did not die in vain.

With time comes healing if you have a solid support system in place. Domenico has stood by me through thick and thin, going through his regret of not being able to protect us. Not being able to pick up on what was happening around him.

I can assure you he doesn't trust anyone besides me anymore. His Mafia was revamped, and he basically replaced almost all of the guys working for him, but it had to be done.

He became even more ruthless and made sure the Mafia world knew who he was. He gained back the respect of many. He also dealt with the loss of our child in his own way but never left me and I appreciate him so much for that.

The night I was shot was also the night Luca and all his men were killed. Max came with some of the guys that could be trusted as backup and helped Demetri's men.

It just goes to show that the jealousy you harbor for others will be the cause of your own downfall. Domenico couldn't believe that the person he thought to be his brother would go to that extent just because of greed.

He even went as far as to kill his girlfriend, who was my best friend with the kindest heart.

I always wondered where Rodger and Kai were since the time we were kidnapped, only to find out that there were about 50 people locked up in the cells below the base and they were with them. That also includes their girlfriends. Luckily, they were still alive when the men got to them.

We decided to move to Domenico's parent's Estate after the whole debacle. We built a huge house a distance away from the main house. With more than enough guards.

His parents were ecstatic at the news and all of us became closer than ever before.

We finally reached home after driving 20 minutes. Once we step out, we are bombarded with our two-year-old son's ecstatic screams "mamma! Pappa!"

I giggle as I bend and pick up my little sunshine "hey baby, were you good for Aunty and grandma" I ask as Victoria, Demonico's sister stood in the door smiling.

Three and a half after everything happened, I discovered I was pregnant again. Then this little man was born and now I have a two-year-old with another one on the way. I am in my last trimester and should pop any day now, with this one being a girl.

"Come here little guy. Momma can't carry you for that long" Domenico says as he takes Giovanni from me as we head into the house.

Everyone was seated at the back relaxing at the pool. Mia and Max also came with their two little ones who are four and two. They got Married as soon as they found out Mia was pregnant. It was nice not having to go through my pregnancy alone.

Rodger and Kai came with their spouses, and they all have kids now which is hard to believe. We are all parents now.

Marco and his wife is busy travelling the world, but he makes sure to check in every day.

Domenico's sister now has a boyfriend who works for Domenico, and she has taken her whole life into perspective and changed her ways after they were held hostage.

We actually became close after the whole ordeal, and she loves Giovanni to bits.

As we sat at the poolside soaking in the sun after experiencing a harsh winter, I started to feel tingles in my lower abdomen. Me thinking it was most probably because of me being woman up by my hungry husband that I overexerted myself. Not that I'm complaining because pregnancy hormones make you very horny at times.

The tingles, however, turned into light cramps, and it was becoming so irritating that I had to move. Soon a felt a gush of liquid running down my legs and I looked up as my eyes were trying to find Domenico at the grill.

"Domenico!" I shout as he swiftly turns his head in my direction with his body still towards the grill. Everyone was quietly looking in my direction as I looked down at the wet spot on the concrete floor.

I glanced up at him "we should head to the hospital" I told him, and he totally freaked out like he did with Gio. Luckily, we keep our bags in the car and never leave home without it.

Our little princess was born an hour later. Giana Aurora Mancini and she looks just like her daddy.

My life was full. After all the heartache came the joy and I remained "HIS"

He showed me what it is to be wanted, to have a family, but most of all to experience true selfless love.
