Previously in the story (Ace's POV),

She looks so beautiful and hot. If you look at her, you won't even be able to think that she is a mother of a 6 month old...

I see everyone come to the backyard. Ace looks around like he is looking for someone. He goes towards his parents and my dad. I see them talk and all of a sudden, they laugh at Ace. I see his mother look at him and she, immediately stops laughing. She even nudges her husband to stop laughing too. I see Ace give Leo to his parents and they look at Leo in awe and adoration. I, then see Leo and Dad talking about something. I hear my baby crying so i decide to go get him.

Zandrea~"Heyy babyy. Why are crying?" I say in a baby voice. I take him from Isabella and he looks at me and then plays with my cheeks and hair.

Isabella~"He is adorable." She says with a big smile.

Zandrea~"He definitely is adorable. Right baby?" I look at Leo and say in a baby voice. I looks at me and starts giggling.

Zander~"Twinny come on sit with us." He says screaming from the other end of the backyard.

Zandrea~"Yeaa coming." I turn back at Ace's parents and give them a polite smile and nod. And they do the same in return. I make my way towards them and sit with them. They start talking and joking around.

After a few minutes, Ace finishes his talk with my papa and joins us. He asks to take Leo again and i happily give Leo to him. I feel bad for not telling him before. I know it is not entirely his fault or mine. But i know that he feels bad that he wasn't there when Leo was born and he has missed Leo's first 6 months. But all i can do is let him spend time with his son now.

I ask him if everything is alright and he says yes. Am sure that it is not something stressful or he would be talking to Adriano as well. So i brush it off. We continue talking and laughing with everyone. In the middle of that, Caleb thinks that it would be a good idea to go swim. And i don't know why the girls eagerly said yes. Ava didn't have a swimsuit here so i offered her mine and she accepted.

All the girls, go to their rooms. I go with Ava to mine as well. I go to my closet to look for a less revealing bikini and i tell Ava to pick any she likes. As i find a bikini, all the other girls come into my closet with their bikini but they still have to change. The moment they see the bikini, i had chosen. They look at each other and then give me a disapproving look.

Amara~"Babe, please tell me you really ain't wearing that one?"

Zandrea~"Ummm.. but i am." I say confusedly.

Aurora~"I literally made Caleb say that on purpose so you can wear that?" She looks at me like am crazy.

Zandrea~"what?"

Amara~"Babe, that guy down there is still single and still loves you. He has not even been with any girl other than you. He is also waiting for you to let him back into your life. Atleast give him a fucking show." By the time, she finishes, Alessia already got a sexy bikini out for me to wear.

Zandrea~"You do know my brothers are there too."

Elena~"Soo??"

Bella~"Come on to hell with them, wear that bikini and show Ace what he missed girl."

Zandrea~"but..."

Alessia~"No buts. Come on go change so we can change too."

I know that they all have teamed up so i have no other option than to wear it. I wear it and come out to see that they all have also changed. They all look at me and compliment how i look hot and sexy.

Ava~"Not gonna say that you don't look hot and sexy. And to be honest that body of yours is to die for. But let me tell you that you could still go out there in a trash bag and my brother will still think you are the prettiest and most beautiful woman on this planet."

I blush and look away.

Zandrea~"umm.... Thanks. We should get going i think."

We go downstairs to the backyard. We find the boys already in the pool. I see Ace and Leo together. Ace is looking at me like i am the only person here. I blush and look away. I see all the girls entering the pool so i also do the same. We swim and talk. We laugh and play with Leo. We listen to music.

Once the food is ready, we just get out of the pool and get our towels. We wrap them around ourselves and start eating. I am about to start eating but i see Ace struggling with drying and dancing Leo. I stand up and go towards them. I help Ace with Leo and show him what he was doing wrong. Ace thanks me and i am about to head back to the others, when i feel someone grap my hand.

I look down at it to see, it was Ace.

Zandrea~"Did you need something?"

Ace~"Umm.. no but... do you mind going out with me tomorrow? Just you and me. We can leave Leo with my parents since they really want to spend time with him or we can leave him here with your dad and brothers." He says with hope in his eyes.

Zandrea~"Yeaa sure. And i don't mind leaving Leo with your parents. They are his grandparents too and i know they would love to keep him for a few hours."

Ace~"Thank you. I will pick you up at 4 pm tomorrow." He says with a huge smile on his face. And i smile back.

Zandrea~"Okayy. Where exactly will we go so i know what to wear?"

Ace~"We will go hiking and to a beach. So you can wear something comfortable, i think."

Zandrea~"Ya okay."

With that we both go where the others are. I can see the girls looking at me like they want to know what that was about. My brothers are kind of glaring at Ace. They like him but they still are a bundle of overprotective mafia brothers. I know you know what i mean.

I take Leo from Ace so he can eat without Leo disturbing him. I put Leo in his baby chair and feed him as i eat too. Ace sits next to me and tries smashing the potatoes like i am doing. And feeds Leo too. It is too cute to see him do all this baby things. After taking two bites from Ace, Leo stops opening his mouth when i try to feed him. He only wants Ace to feed him. Seriously baby, are you kidding me? I look at Leo and pout. Ace see this and starts laughing. Seeing Ace laugh, even Leo starts giggling. Its so beautiful to see this scene in front of me. I look at them and smile and look at them in awe.

I look up to see everyone curious and confused as to what is going on.

Adriano~"why are you and Leo laughing?" He asks Ace.

Ace~"Zandrea was feeding Leo so i thought i should try too. So, i did exactly as Zandrea was doing and started feeding Leo smashed potatoes. After two bites from me, he stopping eating when Zandrea tried to feed him. He only wanted me to do it. Zandrea looked at him and pouted so i started laughing and Leo just joined me."

Matteo~"Well, since you fed him, be ready for diaper duty too." He says making everyone laugh. Ace's face is priceless which makes everyone laugh even louder. I felt like saving him.

Zandrea~"Ohh don't worry. I will do that much."

Once we finished eating, we sat down talking mafia stuff. Mainly the Russian talk. I swear i fucking hate these Russians. I was getting too angry to stay there in their conversation. So, i and the girls including Ava decided to go watch some movie and have girls time since Ava can't be here everyday.

I could see Zandrea getting angry on the Russian topic. And i understand it completely. It was because of them that she was not able to be with her family for a long time. It was because of them that her mother died without meeting her family one last time. I see Amara realizing this and taking all the girls to see a movie. She says-'come on let's leave them. If it is important and they need our help, they can ask us for it.' With that she takes them all even Leo.

Ace~"15 men tried stealing my shipments of guns and weapons. But my men killed them, except one. He said the same thing that that man you tortured said. Only difference is that he said it will take them only 5 months to prepare now."

Lorenzo~"That means they are getting many weapons and guns from somewhere."

Alonzo~"I don't think they are stealing that much from anyone or the news would be out."

Elijah~"Exactly. My thoughts say they got a dealer who can provide the needed guns and weapons with a low prize. But it might still take more time to get them or the money. So they need 4 months still."

Adriano~"Lorenzo, get our best hackers to try and check if they have a secret dealer and if so who it is."

Ace~"i will do the same."

We started talking about other mafia issues and shipments. After we finished our business talks, it was very late. So, we went to the girls, so i could take Ava home. When we reached the movie room, all the girls were asleep and they had been watching Notebook. I carry a sleeping Ava in my arms as do the rest with their girlfriends. Zander carries my queen. Vincenzo takes Leo who is surrounded my pillows. We say our byes and head home while the others take the girls to their rooms.

Once home, i carry Ava in my arms to her room and lay her on her bed and put her comforter on her. I kiss her forehead and go to my room. I change and take a shower. I come out and get my phone and text Zandrea.

Good night my Queen. Hope you remember to be ready by 4 pm tomorrow. See you tomorrow, il mio amore."

I make the necessary arrangements for tomorrow's date with Zandrea. I text a few of my trustworthy men to get things done before it is time. With that done, i fall asleep with Zandrea in my dreams.
