Twenty Nine


    Sydney''s POV


    "I''m sorry. I''m so sorry." I kiss the back of her hand. "I''ve put you into so much danger so many


    times and for that I''m sorry. I don''t know how you''ll take this but I have to leave. We might meet


    again in future and I really don''t know what to think about that. I wish I could tell you you''re the best


    thing that has happened to me so far and I''m sorry because I tried to get you involved with my life


    for selfish reasons." I kiss her forehead. I ce my palm on her tummy and wish for the same


    feeling. I wait for a minute but nothing happens. I guess I wish for things too much. "I''ll miss you.


    Goodbye Izzy." I kiss her forehead once again. I look at her face trying to memorize everything. Out


    ofpulsion, I kiss the side of her lips.


    The memory has been engrained into my mind. Isabe is asking what I said to her but I''m not


    ready to confess to her. Today everything went well but what if Bianca hurt her or the baby? I would


    never have lived with myself that''s for sure.


    I look at my hand holding Isabe''s and release it. "It doesn''t matter what I said that day. It was


    nothing important." I try to say nonchntly but Isabe is looking at me curiously. It''s like she can


    see past these walls and read everything in my mind. That''s unnerving. I look away and take


    Isabe''s half bottle of water and drink the rest of it.


    "Was Bianca there? How does she know what happened?" I love how Isabe notices details so


    fast. When Bianca mentioned the hospital incident, Isabe had the same confused look.


    "No. But Amelia was. I don''t know why I was so stupid to realize sooner." The Amelia situation is so


    frustrating. Isabe doesn''t say anything.


    "Are you okay?" Isabe asks and I look at her curiously. "I know there might be a war between the


    Italian and American mafias." I sigh. The moment we shot the first Italian man a war was dered


    against us. Bianca was taken amd locked up in a cell I haven''t used in a long time. She might seem


    stupid but she''s loyal to her family.


    "Unfortunately there''s gonna be a war." I run a hand through my hair. I have to get everything ready.


    Isabe takes my hand into her smaller ones.


    "Don''t worry, you can do it." I almost smile but I notice something in Isabe''s pocket. "What''s that


    in your pocket Izzy?" She tenses at this.


    "I totally forgot. How could I be this careless?" She mutters making me confused. She puts her hand


    into the pocket and pulls out something. Is that...? "What the hell Isabe?" I shout. Is this woman


    suicidal?


    "I forgot, okay? I was to throw it at the men when I told Bianca I had to pee." Oh, Isabe.


    "Did you notice it would have still affected us?" I feel anger inside me raise. "Give it to me." She


    wastes no time and I take it. The safety is still on.


    "Anything else still on you?" I ask her.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "You wouldn''t believe." Isabe snickers and Iugh a secondter. "Do you want me to do anything


    when you fight against the Italians? I''m good with guns." Isabe says with a proud smile and I find


    myself staring at her. I go to the fridge and open a secret cab then ce the grenade in.


    "The only thing you''ll be doing is being safe by staying at home. That''s unnegotiable." I say with


    finality. Nothing else can happen to her or the baby. I ce my arm on her belly at the same time


    Isabe does. We smile at each other with no words said. Gosh, I want to kiss her so much.


    "Let''s get you to bed." I say instead.


    "Or we could watch a movie as the adrenaline wears off." I don''t watch movies. They are a waste of


    time but I still nod. "But I have to take a bath first. I reek." Isabe says as she makes a disgusting


    face. Cute.


    I lead her to a spare room and leave for my room to get her something to wear. Since she''s


    pregnant my T-shirts might be a little bit tight on her so I search for thergest one I have. I find one


    I haven''t worn in years and some basketball shorts. I head to the room she''s in and hear water


    running and some singing. I cringe. Let''s say singing isn''t her thing.


    I head back to my room and bath too. I think about how Isabe handled herself today. She took the


    guns and handled them confidently and she looked so hot. A beautiful pregnant woman holding


    guns with that confidence. A major turn on. I switch the settings to a cold shower.


    My mother and sister''s death broke my heart. I always wanted a family but I never got one. Isabe


    gave me hope and I would never let anything happen to her. I promised to protect her from the


    Mafia but Luke made me realize bringing her in would protect her. The Italians wouldn''t want to


    cause war with us but it seems like it was inevitable. The war might be a disaster but to me, it might


    be the key to freedom. An out I''ve been searching for. The war might be hope for me to have a


    family with Isabe. But first I have to protect her and the baby.


    I get out of the shower and put on some joggers and a wife beater then head to find Isabe.


    "I thought I could make something to snack on while we watch." Isabe''s voicees from the


    kitchen. I find her making some sandwiches wearing the clothes I gave her. She looks so hot.


    "You made me a pregnant woman ying basketball." I notice the faint blush and I smirk.


    "A hot pregnant woman ying basketball." I correct as I walk towards her without breaking any eye


    contact. "There''s something I''ve really wanted to do since I saw you this evening." We kissed but


    since then I want to do it over and over again. It was like a part of me was switched on.


    "What''s that?" Her voice is breathless. I lean in and capture her lips with mine for a second then


    stand straight as I look at her. "That."


    Isabe immediately grabs my neck and pushes my head to her kissing me. I try not to press into


    her as I kiss her back with the same intensity. I feel her hands pull my hair and I try everything to not


    turn her around and destroy her for any other person. We kiss until we both run out of breath. I


    ce my forehead on hers and try to catch my breath as she does the same.


    "Is it so bad I want to have sex with an engaged man?" I still. Isabe only grins. "Is it so bad I want


    to fuck you so hard when I''m engaged?" I look into her brown eyes as she looks surprised but at the


    same time aroused. "We could." Isabe starts.


    "But we won''t." I finish and She nods then groans. I move away from her. I need a cold drink.


    "This really sucks. I''m pregnant and horny but you had to go to her." She pouts as Iugh.


    "You''ll be okay." I tease and she turns back to make her sandwiches as I watch her.


    "Everything will be okay. I swear." I promise Isabe but she says nothing. A small nod from her


    makes me smile.


    She makes about ten of them and I look at her. "We are expecting someone." She nods with a smile


    I look confused. She didn''t tell me.


    "Who?"


    "Our son." Silence. Then it clicks. Damn!
