The Park

"Hey Sophia?" Matteo asks me.

"Why are you such a slut?" He continues.

Romeo chokes on his spit and sits down next to me, playing with Adelina.

My heart warms when he does that for some reason.

"I don't know Matteo, Why did your dad ship me off to an mafia that's known to abuse Women and Children?" I reply.

He scoffs and walks away.

Checking on Lev who is happily going up the slide, I turn to Adelina who is playing with Romeos hands.

"For the record, I don't think your a slut, I think you have baggage and your kids come from that" He tells me.

I blush and look down.

"Who are you Romeo?" I ask him.

He didn't freak out when I brought up the word Mafia, He knows about the Mafia, What else does he know?

"I'll tell if you tell first" he says.

"I'm an impatient woman" I reply, Copying his words from earlier.

He chuckles and pulls Adelina into his lap.

Lev comes running to me.

"Mama, Can you push me in the swing?" Lev asks me.

"Sure bubs" I tell him.

I look down at Romeo.

"Are you ok with Adelina? I can take her if not" I tell him.

He nods his head and continues playing with her tiny little hands.

I smile and walk over to my perfect little man.

I pick him up and set him into a swing.

"Hold on tight" I tell him.

"Ok Mama" he replies and grips the metal bars beside his hands.

I smile and begin slowly pushing.

Once I get to where he likes it; He laughs and laughs and laughs.

My heart warms.

I need to make more time with Lev.

I'm always taking care of Adelina, but who is going to watch her?

I can't even leave her content in a room for a minute. 

I don't have any time for anyone but my kids.

I just wish Lev had some more one on one time with me.

Adelina starts crying.

I stop pushing Lev and kiss his cheeks before walking over to Adelina.

"What's wrong baby girl?" I ask her before taking her out if Romeos arms.

She cries harder.

I rock her.

I go into the public restroom to feed Adelina.

After she's finally done eating, I get out of the disgusting bathroom.

My other baby is on the blanket with Romeo and Matteo is on his phone on one of the swings.

What was the point of going outside if your just going to be on your phone the whole time?

Sighing, Me and Adelina walk to the blanket.

I set Adelina down so she can crawl.

"What was wrong?" Romeo asks me.

"She was just hungry" I reply.

Adelina crawls over to her brother.

I sit down as well.

"So, You and Matteo are besties now?" I ask.

"My dad wants me to hang out with him because of..." He says the last part hesitantly.

"Because of the Mafia?" I ask.

He nods his head.

"Well your always welcome to the Russian Mafia" I say.

He looks up at me astonished.

"Your in the Russian Mafia?" He asks.

"I run the Russian Mafia" I reply.

He gulps.

"That's the most dangerous Mafia in the world" he says.

"I got a lot of good people working for me" I say.

"Let me rephrase that, I got a lot of people that are good at killing" I say again.

He chuckles.

Adelina starts giggling because Lev is ticking her.

My heart warms.

I kiss Lev's cheek.

"You guys ready to go home?" Matteo asks.

"Yeah" I say.

I pick up Adelina and hold Lev's hand.

"Mama, I sleepy" he tells me.

"We'll get you to sleep soon baby" I reply.

We all walk back to the house.

I get Lev and Adelina asleep finally.

It's only about 11am so I'll let them sleep for a couple hours.

I softly grab the baby monitor I bought a couple days ago and close the door.

I walk down the stairs and go into the Living Room where Matteo and Romeo are.

Just as I'm about to sit down, I stop.

My stomach starts turning.

It doesn't hurt but it feels funny.

I put a hand on my stomach.

Romeo looks at me with a concerned face while Matteo looks at me rolling his eyes.

"Are you alright?" Romeo asks.

"Yep, I'm okay" I say.

He looks down at my stomach and gets up.

"Can I feel?" He asks.

"Sure" I reply.

My excuse so I can't think of a reason not to but deep down I know the real answer is because I want to feel his hands on me.

When he puts his hand in my stomach, The feeling increases.

He looks at me surprised.

"The baby moves a lot" he says.

I chuckle, "There isn't much room, but the baby always finds a way to move".

Matteo scoots but stands up and walks to me anyway.

Without asking, He puts his hand on my stomach.

The baby stops automatically.

Matteo rolls his eyes at me and my baby, and goes back to sit down.

As is on cue, Adelina starts crying.

I go upstairs and rock her.

She falls back to sleeps and I put her in the bed.

I pull the blanket up on Lev and walk out.

Sighing, I finally sit down.

Romeo is on his phone, while Matteo is watching something random.

I lean my head against the back of the couch and feel my eyes close.

I stop fighting it and close my eyes fully.

I'll still be able to hear my babies if they wake up.

Sighing, I feel myself drift into sleep.
