"You think you two are ready for children?" My father asked.
"I'm 36 going on 37, with no children, and no wife. I plan on making her my wife, my Donna, and the mother of my children. I'm ready whenever she is and if she's ready now then why not?"
"Are you sure she wants to get married again? Or even have more children?"
"I don't. But all I can do is hope." I shrugged.
"Well I just want you two to be happy. You look happy."
He didn't sound like he wanted us to be happy.
"We are. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Just making sure you're happy."
"Yeah, okay." I rolled my eyes and stood from my seat. I walked out of his office and down the stairs into the kitchen.
"So, what are you two beautiful ladies cooking?" I asked walking up behind Aaliyah and kissing the back of her head.
"Slow cooker roast beef, stewed potatoes, Green Beans, Sweet Corn, and fried okra." Katherine replied.
Katherine was a good cook, not better than Aaliyah though. Let's just say Katherine was very light on the seasoning.
"Mmmm sounds good." I licked my lips.
"Lover, will you finish cutting these? I wanna check on the twins."
"Sure, Micio."
"Thanks." She kissed my cheek and strutted off.
"So, Micio, huh?" Katherine smirked.
"Yeah." I scratched the back of my head.
"You know your relationship with her bothers your father, right?"
"I assumed. But I can't help how he feels."
"I know. But watch your father closely. He's manipulative and he will do anything to get what he wants. He wants Aaliyah."
"If you know this then why are you still with him?" I asked.
"He's manipulative." She cracked a sad smile as a tear rolled down her pale cheeks.
"Katherine.... what is my father doing to you?"
"It doesn't matter. Go find Aaliyah and don't let him get her alone." She wiped her tears. And took the knife from me and began to finish cutting the bell peppers.
I walked into the direction of the stairs when I heard my fathers voice.
"Just leave him, Aaliyah!"
"No! What the fuck is wrong with you?! I'm in love with Damien! And you're his father! You should be happy that he's happy."
"He can find happiness else where."
"I said no." She growled.
"Well if you don't leave him, I will make him leave you."
"Charles, I will kill you. Do you understand? I will Kill you."
"I doubt that." He chuckled.
"She will kill you but I would prefer to have the honors." I stated as I stepped around the corner. My fathers eyes grew wide.
"How much did you hear, son?"
"I heard enough. Don't ever threaten her. Don't ever threaten me. I don't know what the hell your problem is but I should've listened to my mother a long time ago when she said you were no good."
"You don't deserve her!" He yelled.
"But you do?!" I yelled back.
He closed his mouth. He was speechless. My father knew he didn't deserve Aaliyah, my mother, Miss.Katherine, Celine, Gio, or me.
"Exactly. You don't deserve her. And I may not deserve her but I can love her better than you ever could. Aaliyah, go get the kids and let's go."
She nodded and walked off.
So much for spending time with family before the trip.
When we got back to the mansion Aaliyah was still livid.
"Micio, calm down."
"CALM DOWN! How the FUCK am I supposed to calm down when that dick threatened our relationship?!"
"My fathers a dick. So be it. Let's not dwell on him. The twins are sleep and I have you all to myself." I grabbed her hand pulling her into my lap.
"So, what do we do now?" She asked.
"We go see your family."
"No."
"Why?"
"My parents haven't talked to me since the day I married Niko and they have never once inquired about their grandchildren. So, it can continue to be that way." She shrugged.
"So you don't want to talk to them before we leave?"
"No. Let's just go to Italy. Tomorrow.." she laid her head on my shoulder.
———————————————
When we landed in Italy the twins were super excited. I enjoyed them the entire plane ride, I always enjoy them.
Aaliyah on the other hand wasn't feeling too great. She was tired, groggy, disoriented, and she'd vomited twice on the plane and once since we'd gotten off.
"Micio, are you sure you're alright?" I asked.
"Yeah, ma, are you okay?" Kitai asked.
"I'm fine." She cracked a weak smile laying her head on my shoulder.
The ride to the mansion was quiet. Aaliyah had fallen asleep. Instead of waking her I just carried her into the house myself. I had noticed the past few weeks she did seem more fatigued, she gained a few pounds but not in a bad way. I liked the weight gain actually.
I decided to call an old doctor friend of mine to come over to examine her.
"What's wrong with her, Jason?" I asked
"She's pregnant." He smiled
"Pregnant????"
"Yeah, she's around a month and a half."
A smile crept up onto my face. I'm not surprised considering we don't wear condoms and I always climax inside of her. But I did somewhat assume she was on birth control.
"But, Damien, she's going to be high risk her entire pregnancy, meaning she can't do much."
"Oh I'll make sure she doesn't do anything."
"I know you will." He chuckled.
Jason was a Dom like myself but Jason was a lot more intense.
"Arden, what happened?" I heard he soft voice. I looked over at my Micio as her eyes fluttered open.
"Nothing, Micio. You fell asleep in the limo."
"Who's he?" She asked looking at Jason with hard eyes.
"Jason Deluccino. An old friend of mine."
"Mafia?" She asked.
"Retired." He replied.
"Nice to meet you." She held out her hand for him to shake.
"Jason was head to check on you. For me."
"And I'm fine, right?"
"You're pregnant. Almost 2 months."
"2 months?!"
"Yes..." I smiled slightly.
"Well, we do have a lot of unprotected sex." She shrugged.
Jason chuckled and grabbed his bag.
"I'm out. It was nice meeting you Miss.Daniels. I hope to see you around."
"Same here. Thanks."
"You're high risk, so, you aren allowed to do anything while pregnant."
"I'm high risk because of my heart?" She asked.
"I didn't ask. But yeah probably. Do you feel okay?"
"I feel tired still." She shrugged.
"Well, go back to sleep. I'll take care of dinner and the twins." I kissed her forehead.
"No. I don't wanna be in bed. I wanna explore!"
"Rest, Micio. We can explore tomorrow. I have someplace I want to take you to anyways."
I wanted to take her to a BDSM club, just to give her a view of the life. And to see if that really what she wants. But she needed to rest before we did that.
"Okay. Who's going to watch my babies though?"
"My mothers sister can keep them for a few hours. She's been dying to meet you and them."
"Sounds good to me. Now I'm going back to sleep." She turned on her side and I sat down behind her. I pulled her towards me some so that I could feel her.
I stayed in the room with her until she fell sleep which didn't take long.
I was excited about having a child with the woman I love. Now I just have to figure out if she ready to get married again as well.
