Valeria:

Weeks have passed and Tony and I still aren't married.

We've already secured our marriage license. Now we just need to send out the invitations. We've decided to wait another two weeks. Tony wants his family to meet me before the wedding, so they're all coming to visit tonight for a gathering.

"Tony."

"Yes, love."

"What if they don't accept me?"

"Why wouldn't they?"

"I was Alexei's wife. Plus, the feud between the Italians and the Russians never exactly ended."

"They're going to love you just as much as I do. You're my princess. They'll love you."

I cuddled into his chest.

Aria

I laid beside Giovanni in his bed.

"I can't keep this a secret anymore, Aria."

"Giovanni, just a little longer. I need to tell my Abuela."

"Let's tell her then."

"Soon."

"You've been saying that for about a month now."

"Giovanni, I don't want to give up this baby. She'll force me."

"She won't if you marry me."

"What?"

"Marry me."

"Giovanni, that's really sweet, but no. Valeria rushed into marriage with Alexei and she was miserable."

"One day?"

"Maybe."

"Aria, I never want to be away from you. I want to be everything for you. I love you."

His voice was shaky. I could see how nervous he was.

"Giovanni, I love you too."

His smile widened.

He kissed me deeply.

A knock on the door interrupted us.

I slid on Giovanni's shirts and opened the door to reveal my Abuela.

"Abuela, what are you doing here?"

"Someone said they saw you come in here. Where are your pants?"

Giovanni walked up behind me.

"We've been seeing each other. Aria and I love each other, Ms. Ortiz."

"Is this true, Ariana?"

"Yes. Abuela, I'm pregnant."

"Mi nieta esta teniendo un bebe?" (My granddaughter is having a baby?)

I sighed in relief.

"Are you getting married?"

I stared back at her.

"I'm going to marry this woman, one day. I just think we both need to explore our relationship a little more."

I looked up at Giovanni.

"I'm proud of you, nieta. I'll see you in a little bit."

She backed away and closed the door.

"We did it.", Giovanni whispered.

"Thank you for being here with me."

"Don't thank me. I want to be here. You're giving me the best gift of all."
