Chapter 133
Rachel
“Luca can you stop at a Starbucks please this bābē is already addicted to Starbucks.” Luca stopped and Marco jumped out “Decaf hazelnut ice latte” “Thank you Marco.” “Boss?” “Nothing thanks, Marco.” Massimo looked at me, “You know what baby is in Italian?” “I might have looked it up.” “Then I should correct you it’s bambino.” “Massimo it’s not a boy.” “How do you know.” “I don’t, that’s why I don’t say bambina.” “You really did your homework.” I’m going to raise half Italian children, I think I should learn a bit of Italian, don’t you.” “That’s very sweet of you Bella and what about your mother tongue will you teach them that as well?” “I think I should start with you.” We both laughed. Marco got back in die SUV and we were on our way. “Massimo, does your parents know we’re engaged?” “Oops no Bella, I forgot to tell them. Now they’ll get two surprises on one day. Luca one other stop please, we need to get alcohol free champagne.” Luca stopped at a liquor store and Marco jumped out again. I wondered if they have credit cards like I do but it’s none of my business, I just wondered. Marco came back with a bottle underneath his arm. When we stopped at the restaurant, Massimo helped me out and we walked to the door. “Boss a minute please.” Luca said “Really know Luca?” “Sorry boss it’s important.” “Bella, you go in so long.” I walked into the restaurant and Rossa came to me “Oh Bella, are you feeling better child?” “A little thank you Rossa.” Then Salvadore came to me “Hello Rachel, how are you? “Rossa said you were ill.” “I’m still a bit under the weather but it’s getting better every day. Thank you Salvadore.” He took my left hand, “child what is this?” He asked shocked. Massimo walked towards us. I could see his previous good mood is gone. “We’re engaged pappa.” “Oh Rachel, Massimo congratulations.” Rossa said and then hugged us both and then Salvadore hugged us. “We have more to tell you but can we have a seat, Bella is hungry.” “Off course”, Rossa took us to a booth at the back of the restaurant. “What do you want Rachel.” “Something sweet.” Massimo gave me a look and smiled at me. “I have a new breakfast item on the menu, it’s doing very well. It’s called Pane e Nutella. It’s bread, toast or a waffle spread with Nutella.” “That sounds delicious Rossa, can I have it with a waffle please.” “Off course and you Massimo?” “Ricotta pancakes please mom.” “We’re really celebrating.” “Mom, can you ask the waiter for four champagne glasses as well. And come back don’t you make the food we need to talk to you and pappa.” “I’ll be right back.” Rossa came back with the four glasses and sat next to Salvadore. Massimo opened the bottle of champagne and poured each of us a glass. “As you now know we got engaged in Paris when we were there for a short holiday, but that’s not all we found out this morning ‘siamo incinta’” Massimo said I knew now it mend we are pregnant. Rossa jumped up first” Congratulazioni, is that why you were so sick?” “It would appear so.” Salvadore came to me and gave me a hug congratulations Rachel. Son, I’m sure you are very happy.” “I am dad.” We drank our non-alcoholic champagne and toasted on the bābē, I could see Massimo pulling his face. What he wouldn’t do for love. We had our breakfast then Massimo said he needed to get something in his office and I should come with him.
Massimo
I was so happy with Bella being pregnant, I know now why she wanted to keep it a secret for Christmas, I could only imagine this feeling on Christmas morning. But non the less I was beyond excited. Nothing can bring my mood down. I was flying high. I couldn’t believe I cried in the doctors’ rooms. It was really just relieved, relieved that Bella didn’t lose the baby. And beyond happy. When we stopped at Starbucks I wanted to remind Marco it should be decaf, I know caffeine isn’t good for babies, but when he got out he already said decaf. Bella was already looking after our baby. When we got to my parent’s restaurant Luca pulled me to one side, I wasn’t happy about it but when he said it was important, I send Bella into the restaurant so long with Marco. I don’t think Marco will ever leave her side again. “What’s wrong Luca?” “We’ve being followed since the doctor’s appointment boss.” “Does it look like FBI?” “I don’t think so.” “I’ll phone Frank.” “Yes Massimo?” “Is the FBI following me Frank?” “No Massimo it’s not us, how long are you being followed for now?” “The past hour or so.” “Let me check the scanners maybe it’s NYPD.” “Why would the NYPD follow me from my doctor’s appointment?” “That doesn’t make sense Massimo if it is the authorities, they would have followed you from your apartment.” “That’s what I thought. Thank you, Frank.” “Anytime Massimo.” “Where’s the Ricci’s Luca?” “Enzo said the FBI is still on them.” “I’m telling you it’s one of them Luca. Get the other men here and keep an eye on that vehicle.” “Will do boss.” I went into the restaurant and was just in time as my father saw the engagement ring. We’re engaged pappa.” “Oh Rachel, Massimo congratulations.” My mom said and then hugged Bella and me, then my dad hugged us. “We have more to tell you but can we have a seat, Bella is hungry.” “Off course”, Mom took us to a booth at the back of the restaurant. “What do you want Rachel.” “Something sweet.” I gave her a half smile; she was correct when she said she had a sweet tooth. “I have a new breakfast item on the menu, it’s doing very well. It’s called Pane e Nutella. It’s bread, toast or a waffle spread with Nutella.” Bella chose that off course on a waffle. “Off course and you Massimo?” “Ricotta pancakes please mom.” I only eat Ricotta pancakes when I celebrate something. “We’re really celebrating.” “Mom, can you ask the waiter for four champagne glasses as well. And come back don’t you make the food we need to talk to you and pappa.” “I’ll be right back.” Mom came back with the four glasses and sat next to dad. I opened the bottle of champagne and poured each of us a glass. “As you now know we got engaged in Paris when we were there for a short holiday, but that’s not all we found out this morning ‘siamo incinta’” I said Mom jumped up first “Congratulazioni, is that why you were so sick Rachel?” “It would appear so.” Rachel said. Dad came to me and gave me a hug son, I’m sure you are very happy.” “I am dad.” Then he hugged Rachel. We drank our non-alcoholic champagne and toasted on the bābē. My god this stuff was awe full. Thank God our breakfast came and I could get rid of the taste. When we were done I told Rachel we need to go to my office. We thanked my mom and dad and we went to my office. “What’s wrong?” Bella asked as we entered my office. “Someone is following us from the doctors office.” “Who? FBI, The Ricci’s?” she asked. “My money is on the Ricci’s or some of their men, because all the Ricci’s is under surveillance.” “Now what?” “Now we wait for Enzo and Aldo to come then we’re leaving.” “Why do we have to wait, they know where you live Massimo, they’ll just follow us back home.” “I know Bella but I want to show a type of force, showing them, we are not alone.” I looked out the window and 4 black Escalades stopped in front of the Restaurant. We’re did Luca get the extra two vehicles. Luca came into my office, “We’re ready boss.” “Who’s in the other 2 vehicles Luca?” “Ghost and Brad boss.” We walked out and got into the SUV with Luca and Marco then we were of. “Where to boss, the club Luca let’s see if we can lose them before we go home. Okay boss. Thank fuck for friends like Damon. These fuckers going to go down very soon. Bella was very quiet. “You okay Bella?” “No I’m going to be sick.” Marco grabbed something out of the clove box and gave it to Bella. Just in time. Bella vomited into the brown bag. Good thinking Marco, because we couldn’t stop at this stage. This is going to be fun.
