The Mafia's Secret Daughter ( #1 in the Mafia Series )

thirty seven

"Are you finally going to tell him about the baby?" Greta asks with a smile and for the first time in my life I let out a gasp of shock.

"You know.." I say dumbfounded

Greta just nods with an even bigger smile on her face.

"How?" I ask

"I have good instincts. As you've pointed out I've been around the mafia for years, I think I can spot a secret from a mile away." Greta says

"You amaze me Greta, and I'm grateful for you.." I tell her

"And I'm grateful for you. Now I'll go get your man." Greta says with a wink

"Wait before you do. I have something to ask you." I say getting up the nerve

"What is it?" She asks

"I want you to take my mothers chair in between Michael, and my father. You remind me of her in some ways, and I know she would love and appreciate how you have had my back since I've been here. It would mean a lot to me if you would step in for her today." I say with a smile and tears in my eyes

"I would be honored." Greta says tearing up and then she hugs me quickly and wipes her tears away then says "Now I'm going to get Luca, I'll tell him it's urgent but to remain calm.."

"He's going to freak out."
I reply with a slight laugh

"That's part of the fun." Greta says as she walks through the door to go on the other side to get Luca for me.

Luca comes walking in a fast pace busting through the doors, he straightens his suit, and he turns and finally sees me ; he smiles the biggest smile, that turns into a smirk.

He says "God I'm a lucky man."

"I agree but I'm a very lucky woman myself."
I say checking him out with a smirk of my own

"What's the urgent matter ?" He asks seriously concerned, remembering why we aren't getting married in this very moment.

"I have something I've been meaning to tell you, but I wanted to be sure everything was okay and settled before I did. I hope you understand." I say rambling a little

"Angel, I've never seen you nervous before.. Is everything okay?" He asks seeming a little worried but also slightly amused.

"It really depends how you see it." I say

"See what?" He asks

"I'm pregnant." I spit out

Luca eyebrows raise slightly, and I can tell he is a little shocked.

"And it's mine..?" He says almost like a question

"That bit should be obvious."
I say rolling my eyes slightly

"How long have you known?" He questions

"That day I snuck out of the mansion for a check up with Dr. Giovanni." I explain

He looks deep in thought but then he comes closer, and pulls me into a hug, when he pulls away he holds the side of my face in his hands.

"I want to kiss you so bad, but I've waited two days just so our next kiss could be at the alter, and I think my mother would murder me if I ruined it now." He says

"So you're happy about it?" I ask

"Of course I am, Angel. I wish you would've told me sooner, but I couldn't be happier. Tori, you are the only woman I've ever wanted to have a child with..you are the only woman I've ever even considered having a child with or even marrying...and just knowing you were pregnant while enduring hell makes me have more respect for you, and your body..and lets me know that our child is survivor. I vow right now to always keep the both of you protected, for as long as I'm alive, the two of you will be safe." Luca says

I feel tears come into my eyes.

"Well I'm glad you feel that way I just couldn't walk down the aisle until I told you, but now that I have get your ass back up to that alter, so I can make my grand and fashionably late entrance, and marry the hell out of you."
I say jokingly

Luca smirks and says "Yes ma'am."
then he winks and walks confidently as ever back through the grand doors that are about to lead me to my future.

The song of I Can't Help Falling In Love comes on and I walk down the dark red rose petal aisle. I head forwards towards the candle lit alter that Luca is standing on. I make sure to walk confidently, and yet gracefully to my future.

We said our vows. Yes, we did the traditional ones. We exchanged rings, and when it was time for him to kiss me I quickly said "One more thing.." I then leaned up to his ear and whispered "It's a girl."

I lean back just in time to see Luca smiling as big as I have ever seen him smile. He carefully and swiftly dips me, which makes me laugh lightly, then he kisses me deeply and passionately.

I hear Lorenzo whistle, making me laugh a little into the kiss, and I feel Luca smile into it.

He leans me back up right, and makes sure I'm not dizzy, before he lets go of my waist making me smile knowing he's going to be the best father. Protective but a secure and loving one.

"I love you Mrs. Moretti"
Luca says giving me a smile

"I love you too Mr. Moretti." I reply with my own teasing smile making him smirk.
