Rose's POV
I'm walking back to bed after using the bathroom.
I've been feeling small contractions for the past few hours, but they weren't too painful.
I continue my walk to the bed when I feel hot liquid spill out of me.
"Holy shit..." I mumble as I walk over to Alessandro.
"Sandro..." I whisper, shaking him gently.
"Sandro!" I whisper yell.
"Yes? What happened?" He says as he rubs the sleep out of his eyes.
"I think my water just broke."
"Are you sure? Your due date isn't for another few weeks."
"Alessandro.... how the fuck am I supposed to be sure?! All I know is that some liquid that was not pee just spilled out of me and that I'm having some intense contractions." I tell him, walking to get a mop.
"Okay well sit! I'm going to call everyone we need. You sit. Eat something?" He says jumping out of bed.
"I have to brush my teeth and stuff." I tell him.
"No you need to sit and rest. I'll go get our bag and we can go to the hospital." He insists.
"But we should wake Mai and Luca!" I tell him.
***
We're at a hospital...
My contractions are horrible.
I'm about to get all the pain meds possible, everyone else is half asleep or eating.
I want to sleep too.
***
"Sandro..." I mumble.
"Yes mi amore?" He answers.
"We never picked out any names for them..." I tell him.
"What?? You've never picked names??" Mai says.
"No... I was thinking about some though." I breathe.
"Like?" Sandro asks.
"Like.... um, well Luna was one, Aurora, and Laura?" I say.
"Those are very pretty." Mai says.
I thought so too. But these girls will have to live with these names. They will have these names for their whole lives, well until they turn 18 then they can change them...
"What did you have in mind Sandro?" I ask him.
"I thought of Alicia and Liliana." He says.
Those are super cute.
"So, what if we chose when we see them?" I suggest.
"Let's do that." He agrees.
***
"Push!"
"Breathe... 1....2....3...."
"She's almost here!"
Alessandro decided he does not want to see the babies come out.
I wouldn't want to either.
Luca's out because he had mafia business to take care of.
Mai is patting my head with a towel, I'm sweating... But that's the least of my worries.
I hear a cry... A very loud cry...
I open my eyes to see a baby being pulled from between my legs.
That's my baby.
I just gave birth...
That...
That came out of me...
"Here she is." My doctor says as the nurse takes her and puts her on my chest.
"So perfect..." Mai whispers.
I cry. I mean before I was crying from pain... Now, it's joy.
She gets taken off of me as I have to push for baby B, and she has to get cleaned off.
I turn and look at Alessandro to see he's crying.
Alessandro Bianchi.
A merciless mafia don.
A man who kills.
A man who beats people to a pulp.
A man who cuts off limbs.
Who kills people's parents.
My fiancé.
Alessandro.
THE Alessandro Bianchi, he's crying... I've never seen him do that before.
I've seen frowns, anger, rage, sadness, smiles. All of those, but crying? I didn't know he did that...
"3...2...1...Push!" The doctor says.
I push, with all the strength I have.
I take a moment to breathe and we start again.
"Push!"
"Her head is almost out."
"You've got this."
"And... Push!"
I can't feel anything below my waist... Is she out?
Everyone's face goes pale...
No one's said a word. The room is dead silence for about 2 seconds before the doctors and nurses are heading over.
Alessandro looks at me, now with a frown.
"Wh- What's wrong?" I ask him.
I don't get an answer.
"Mai? Is she okay?"
Again, no answer.
I begin to worry.
Is she okay?
Why was there no cries?
What's wrong with her?
Is she....
Before the anxiety could finish its horrible thoughts,
There are cries.
She's crying. She's okay...
I see Sandro and Mai sigh in relief.
"She's okay..." Mai says answering my question.
"Nothing happened." Sandro said.
Well yea, ya dipshits, I just would've liked to have that answer a few seconds ago.
Baby two is placed on my chest... She's so small... I mean they both are tiny.
"You scared us for a second mio amore..." I whisper to her.
She's then taken away to get cleaned.
***
God am I tired...
Those little girls decided to come early but stay in there for 6 hours.
Now to name them...
We would've let Mr. and Mrs. Bianchi help name them but they're on a plane here, from Italy.
"Baby A...." Sandro mumbles.
"I think, Aurora Liliana Martinez Bianchi." I say.
"That's beautiful." Mai says.
Alessandro nods in agreement.
"Baby B?"
"Alicia Luna Martinez Bianchi?" He suggests.
"That's perfect." I smile at him.
He leans down and gives me a quick kiss.
"I love you so much." I tell him.
"Ti amo anch'io, amore mio."
(Translation: I love you more my love)
I smile at him.
The babies are sleeping next to my bed.
I love them so much. They're so tiny and soft and cuddly.
We had skin to skin contact.
Alessandro had some with them too.
They're such perfect little babies.

"Sandro?" I whisper as I just put Alicia to sleep.
"Can you help me to the bathroom please?" I ask him.
"Of course mio amore."
"Thank you." I mumble.
"I'm so proud of you." He tells me. "You're so strong." He tells me as we walk into the bathroom.
"Are you trying to make me fall in love with you more?! That's not even possible-" I joke.
He laughs.
I've started a family, I'm getting married...
I'm so fucking happy.
My life has been so horribly eventful since I was born.
Sandro has eased that...mostly.
I love him so so much...
He's taught me so many life lessons.
He makes me feel loved.
I love him.
So
So
So
Much.
