About 2 months later...
"Come on baby, you can push a little more" I heard Cole say next to me, tears streaming down my face as I held onto his hand tightly.
Easy for him to say.
"I... I'm trying damn it!" I yelled out as I pushed again.
"He's almost out Mrs. Knight! We just need you to do that one more time" One of the nurses spoke out.
My eyes were shut tightly as I pushed as hard as I could, crying out in pain. I'm never doing this again.
I then went limp as I heard the sound of a baby crying. Finally.
"You did it amore mio" Cole said before kissing my forehead.
I smiled as I looked at the nurse who had Luciano in her hands, "Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" She asked.
He then walked over to the nurse, looking nervous, "Of course..." He spoke out before looking at me. He then put the gloves on before cutting the cord.
"He's so cute" I heard him mutter out as he looked at him, the nurse now taking Luciano to get cleaned up.
After Cole disposed of the gloves, he washed his hands before making his way towards me. I felt my eyes begin to droop as exhaustion was taking over.
"Thank you for giving me a chance. Thank you for giving me this gift, for marrying me... for everything" I heard him say as he smoothed my hair down.
I smiled at his words before I allowed the sleep to take over...
5 years later...
I watched as Luciano climbed onto the bed before looking back at me, "Go ahead baby" I whispered out.
He then smiled before looking back down at his victim, before yelling as he jumped on the bed repeatedly.
"Get up daddy!" He said, Cole quickly sitting up. He looked around with a worried look on his face before his eyes landed on our son who was still jumping on the bed.
"Up up up! It's Christmas" He told him with excitement. I couldn't help but laugh as Cole ran a hand through his hair, now looking my way.
"Isn't it like six in the morning?" He asked before laying back down, still exhausted.
"No Cole, it's ten thirty. You should be up by now... don't forget that everyone is suppose to be coming here" I told him, watching as Luciano began to pout. Cole then groaned out before uttering a few curse words.
"Potty mouth" He stated, scolding his father.
"I really wish Reyna didn't teach you that" He muttered out while Luciano began hitting him, attempting to get him out the bed.
Cole opened up one eye before grabbing our son, playfully growling as he tickled him.
"S-stop it daddy!" He laughed out while trying to get away.
I shook my head at the two before heading downstairs, smiling as I heard a small scream from upstairs. I then began making sure that everything was straight.
The house was clean, food and drinks we ready... the only thing that wasn't ready, was Cole. After a few moments, someone had rung the doorbell.
I walked over to open the door, seeing that it was Axarii and the others. I smiled as I saw my mini me in her arms.
"Momma!" She exclaimed before reaching out for me. I took her and she immediately began to play with my hair.
"Sorry that we're late sweetie... someone decided to get ready last minute" She explained while they all made it into the house, giving Xavier the death stare. He cleared his throat before hugging me.
Like father, like son... hopefully Luciano doesn't get that from his father.
"I lost track of time" Was all he said. I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the two argue.
"Where's my annoying brother and sweet little nephew?" Serena then asked while Rome began putting their gifts under the tree with the others.
Reyna's currently in Italy with you know who, so she wasn't able to make it.
As if on cue, Cole came down the stairs with Luciano in his arms. I nodded in approval when I saw that he was dressed. Luciano looked over at me before a big smile formed on his face.
"Ellie!" He spoke out happily before wiggling out of his father's arms, running towards us.
"Stop running Luciano" Cole spoke out sternly before Anna May ran over to hug him.
"Big brother!" Anna exclaimed happily, Cole hugging her tightly.
He then looked at her with a shocked expression, "You're getting pretty tall Anna"
I watched as Ella turned around before laughing as she saw her big brother. I then placed her on the ground and watched in awe as they hugged. I smiled as Axarii squealed before taking a couple of pictures of the two.
I then sighed as Cole pulled me in a tight embrace, kissing the side of my head. "Doesn't this make you want to have another one?" He teased as we looked at the two munchkins.
I laughed before playfully pushing him away, "Nope. I told you, two and then I'm done honey" I told him before patting the side of his face, him now pouting.
"Stop pouting you big baby" I said, him shaking his head.
"I'll stop if you kiss me" He replied back with a innocent smile on his face, grabbing ahold of my chin. I quickly pecked his lips before pushing him away.
"I guess that'll do for now-" He teased.
"Mommy look! Santa came!" Luciano then exclaimed with a big smile on his face as he went towards the tree, looking just like his father.
Serena and Rome then helped Luciano with finding his presents, Axarii helping our two year old open one of her new toys.
"Doggy!" She yelled out before giggling. Just as I sat down next to them, the doorbell rang again.
"I'll get it" Cole said before heading towards the door, opening it.
"Hello everyone! I know you all have missed me" Lukas spoke out as Layla rushed inside, heading straight towards Luciano. I couldn't help but notice that Layla was resembling her mother.
I watched as she sat next to him before they waved at each other, "Serena can you get her presents from under the tree?" I asked before getting up.
As I stood next to Cole, Lukas hugged me before gesturing towards the woman behind him, "Guys... this is my fiancée, Nadia" He introduced, her now standing next to him.
She smiled at us shyly, "Hello, it's nice to finally meet you guys" She spoke out.
"It's nice meeting you as well sweetie!" Axarii spoke out from the floor.
"She's my new mommy!" Layla cheered, Nadia now smiling at her with so much love.
"It's nice that I can finally put a face to the name... what has it been like three years-" Cole began to joke before I elbowed his side.
"Don't listen to him. You're apart of the family Nadia" I stated. She then laughed before nodding her head.
"Thank you"
"Wait a minute... where's Reyna?" Lukas then asked as we all sat down.
"She's in Italy with that guy" Xavier spoke out in distaste.
Both Axarii and Serena were now shaking their heads, "Come on dad, when are you going to accept that they're gonna get married soon?" Serena asked.
"He's disrespectful! I honestly don't know what Reyna was thinking" He muttered out.
"Wait... are you still mad about the time he called you a old man?" I then asked, smiling when I saw the look on his face. Everyone began to laugh as he denied it.
Lukas then Face Timed Reyna, her answering after the fourth ring, "Lukas?"
"Hey there Reyna. We were all just talking about how we missed you, so I decided to give you a call" He said before we all said hello. I was sitting next to Xavier with Cole on my other side.
"Hi everyone! How my nephew and nieces doing-" She began before the phone was taken from Lukas's hand.
"When are you coming back home Reyna?" Dad then asked. I couldn't help but laugh as Cole groaned out in annoyance.
Just as Reyna was about to say something the phone was taken from her as well, it being Vincenzo.
"What's up old man" He spoke out, angering Xavier even more.
"What did I tell you about calling me that?" He asked.
A laugh then came from the other side of the phone, "Alright, alright. I'll stop calling you that dad" Enzo stated. I watched as Xavier stared at the phone for a while before handing back to Lukas.
After a while we decided to take a break from opening presents, and that we should eat. After I helped mom off the ground, Cole bent down in front of Ella who was now blushing.
"Hey princess, I missed you" He spoke out softly before brushing his thumb on the side of her face.
"Did you miss daddy?" He then asked, smiling as she nodded her head before dropping the toy, reaching out to him.
He swiftly picked her up before spinning her around, tickling her sides. "Be careful!" I scolded as Ella laughed.
He then kissed her on the cheek, "Uncle Cole... can you swing me around too?" Layla then asked with a pouty expression on her face.
He laughed before handing me Ella,
"Come here sweetheart"
