Meet my family, Adrianna

**Adrianna's pov**

"Baby no. 2 is quite the fighter". The doctor gives me a light smile. I just came out of surgery less than 24 hours ago. Dante and father have been with me for almost six hours now. According to the doctor, the surgery went well and baby no. 2 is doing fine. Although she said, oxygen wasn't getting to the baby whole the surgery was going on but it survived.

Dante has been all smiles since morning and it looks so weird but really good on him. He looks like a Cheshire cat who was given a recently killed fish. A sexy one though.

Currently, I'm laying on the bed with Dante and father standing on either side of me. I am currently doing my final scan and getting updates from the doctor.

She gives me a tissue to wipe off the gel on my stomach. Father goes out to get my drugs from the hospital pharmacy while Dante helps me get out of bed. I just feel a little weak and I feel slight pain in my abdomen. I shouldn't be feeling any pain by now but it must be my body acting up.

We enter the car and the driver takes us home. The minute the door opens, I almost loose my footing but saved by Dante's arm who supports my back. I am tackled in a warm hug.

The familiar jasmine scent fills my nostrils and I hug her back.

"I have missed you so frutin' much". I raise a brow at her at the weird word.

"Frutin?". I said with an amused smile on my lips.

"I am trying to stop cussing and we don't want our little ones to hear those words even before they are born. I can't believe we are having twins! Ahhhhhh!!!". I close my eyes with her squealing threatening to damage my eardrums.  I just laugh at her antics and shake my head. I wonder where the rest of the family is.

I realize that we have been standing at the door for more than 10 minutes now so I start going in.

Lily helps me up the stairs and we head to my room while Dante follows father to probably talk about something because they are walking in the direction of his office. I will ask him about it later then.

**Dante's pov**

Before Mr Romero walks away, I stop him.

"I need to discuss something with you sir."

He stares at me for a while then nods. I leave Adri with Lily and follow Mr Romero to his office.

His office completely suits his personality and aura. Power and elegance. I take a seat in front of him.

"Go ahead. I'm all ears." I take in a slight breath while being careful not to let him notice but it seems like he did anyways.

"I want to take Adrianna to my house to meet my family. I am sure my family would love her but I am really skeptical about my father. As you already know, he harbours a lot of hate towards you and honestly, if I could I would keep Adrianna as far away from that house as I can. I just want her to meet the rest of my family and get to know them. I won't keep her there for long and she will be back before night arrives. So this is me asking for permission to take her along tomorrow." He stares at me for some seconds, the silence heavy and deafening. Just when I thought he would say no, he speaks.

"I will allow you to take her but you must stay with her at all times. I don't want to see your father within three feet of my daughter. Also Armando will be going with you just in case your father decides to try anything foolish. I don't trust you yet but I know that my daughter does so I will put this little faith in you. If you make any mistakes, you know what the consequences are. Understood?"

"Yes sir.  Everything is fine with me. I won't let you down." As I am about to go out of the door, his next words startle me.

"It will be no hassle to kill you if you hurt my princess." Unable to respond, I leave the office.

That definitely did scare me especially since I know it isn't am empty one. Imagine if he knew how much I had hurt her before, he would definitely have had my head. I go up to Adri's room to see her.

As I open the door, I notice Lily and Adrianna sitting on the rugged floor talking and laughing about something.

The way her eyes lit up when she laughs. It's like staring at the stars through her eyes. I hope she continues being this happy. I would love nothing more.

I notice the way she places a protective hand on her bump. It so really cute and she looks like a little mama bear. I hope our kids look exactly like her, especially if we have a girl or girls.  They would look so cute and beau-

"Dante. What are you thinking about? Come in." Adrianna's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I flash a smile at her and sit beside her.

"What were you guys talking about?" I pull Adri into me with her back facing my front. I also place a hand on her bump rubbing soothing circles on it.

"We were talking about when we would start setting up and decorating the nursery. She's already nearing her fifth month but I guess we should wait one more month just so that we can find out the gender and shop them too". Anyone can tell from a mile away that she's probably more excited than the expectant mother. Her energy is so contagious that even I start grinning widely. The kids have got themselves the best godmother.

"Yes that's better. I can't believe we are finding out the genders soon. I can't wait to start buying dresses for my little girls." I say with a wistful look at the bump.

Adrianna turns her head to look at me.

"What do you mean girls? I want boys. That's final." She replies with a playful sneer at me. Before I can reply, Lily gets up.

"I am not about to start watching both of you bicker over the gender that can't be controlled. Anyways, I want a girl and a boy. Hence, why I'm the only reasonable person in this house. Adios!". She struts out with her huge ego following her. Adrianna looks at me burst into laughter.

"She has a good point. I want a boy like you.  I want our son to look like you. All handsome, thoughtful, loving, understanding and beautiful minded like you ". The loving look in her eyes warms my heart.

"I want a girl just like you. Exactly like you. Your silky hair, your beautiful eyes, your flawless skin, everything. I want to carry her on my shoulders and build her a big doll house. I'm sure she would love to play dress up with me and her dolls right? We could probably tell her brother to just be one of her dolls for her weekly Tea Party. Though if she's like you, she will definitely threaten him into it. I would be her favorite, won't I? ". She smacks my arm playfully

"I'm not that bad." She lightly chuckles.

"You are going to be the best dad ever. And as much as I don't want to say this, you will be her favorite." I place a peck on her forehead.

"Thank you for accepting defeat, babe. Thank you for coming into my life and bringing these bundles of joy with you. I can't wait to have our family." I comfortable silence comes upon us.

"What did you go to discuss with my dad?" I sigh. Well I knew she was going to ask anyways.

"Yes, I also wanted to tell you about it. I'm going to my house tomorrow and I want to take you along to see my family, especially my mum and sister. I will try to keep you away from my father while we are there. Do you want to come along?" She looks like she is thinking about something and. Her pinky starts moving, something her body does when she's really nervous.

"It's completely fine if you don't want to come. You can meet them whenever you are ready." I hold her hand and squeeze it gently and reassuringly.

"I will come along but promise you will stay by my side throughout". She holds my hand tighter.

"I will definitely be by your side throughout our time there. And om the plus side, your brother, Armando, will come with us. I promise to stay by your side." She leans into me and I carry her to the bed.

After gently laying her on the bed, I slip under the duvet and pull it over us. She buries her face in my chest with her arms around my waist. Before long, her breaths become slow and stable blowing sir on my chest.

I push the hair on her face backwards and kiss her forehead.

"I love you."
