MI FA IMPAZZIRE:

It makes me crazy.

S H I R A ' S P O V:

THREE MONTHS LATER

"Val, I can walk down the stairs" Three months since I found out I am pregnant and so far it has been hectic and Valerius has been one of the issues. He's been acting like a protective doctor for the last three months. A sexy doctor if I am not going to lie.

"Amore, you walk down those stairs, you won't be getting your Ben and Jerry's chocolate ice cream. The one with marshmallows." He threatens from the room. Pouting, Valerius kisses my lips before he holds my waist and walks down the stairs with me.

"Aww, don't pout, amore," Valerius lingers a kiss on the side of my head. "I can walk down the stairs by myself, Val," I have been treated like a baby since I have been pregnant. Papa and Matteo won't agree with me doing anything and believe what Valerius is doing is the bare minimum. Mama and Nailea told me it's just a part of the process and I have to deal with it.

Mafia men, I roll my eyes.

"I know, baby, but let me do it for my peace of mind," Valerius walks me to the kitchen and pulls out the chair, making me sit down before bringing my breakfast in front of me. "So, we have got a fruit salad with some greek yoghurt for your and our little bean's five a day and to keep our little bean healthy and strong like their Papa."

"I mean that's what the book says." His glasses are perched up and he is leaning against the chair without a shirt. Valerius looks intently at the book, which I technically should be reading. A strong surge of desire washes over me as I gawked up and down his toned body. I hate my pregnancy symptoms.

"Baby, if you keep staring at me like you want to eat me, our little bean won't have a Papa." Heat warms up to my cheeks and I look down at my breakfast, taking a bite of the fruit salad. Valerius begins to eat the same thing and he continues to read the book, asking me questions along the way, ensuring that I have moisturized my small bump and taken my vitamins.

I think I prefer him being a sexy doctor.

"Shopping then ultrasound, amore?" Valerius says while he clips the seatbelt in place. Nodding, Valerius smiles with his million-dollar set of teeth. His face nears and he grabs my jaw, holding my face, rubbing my cheek with the pad of his thumb.

"You are so beautiful, I am such a lucky man to have you as the mother of my child." One of his hands rested on my small bump and Valerius pulls me into a heartwarming kiss. "Val, you are going to make me cry, I don't want to ruin my makeup." Valerius chuckles and returns back into his seat before starting the car. Valerius pulls my hand onto the gearbox and places his hand over mine.

As soon as we arrived at the grocery store, Valerius grabbed a trolly and we both walked around, picking things that Valerius seemed suitable for my pregnancy. Apart from reading the book, he has also asked Lorena and both of our Mama's for advice, mainly asking what to eat, what to avoid eating and what creams are good for my skin.

Ever since I have been pregnant, my skin has been the worst factor of all. I can't spend too long in the sun without becoming slightly red. Sensitive skin has given me a bit of trouble but not as bad as my desire towards Valerius. If he continues to act like a sexy doctor, my heat won't end with him around.

"Baby, you're doing the staring thing again," Valerius whispers into my ear, chuckling. One part of my body just want him to take me to the bathroom and fuck the absolute living daylights out of me but I need to refrain myself. "Tu sei il problema, perché non puoi metterti una parrucca gialla così non dovrò pensare di fare sesso con te tutto il tempo." I said, making Valerius burst out laughing, bringing me close to his body.

(Translation: You're the issue, why can't you put a yellow wig on so I won't have to think about having sex with you all the time)

"Aww, piccola, anche se mettessi una parrucca gialla mi scoperesti comunque." Sulking, even his voice sounds like sex on legs. We both went to the frozen food section, where Valerius took three tubs of ice cream else I would be sulking all day if he only got two.

(Translation: Aww, baby, even if I put on a yellow wig you would still fuck me)

He has warned me not to eat too much ice cream but when do I listen? And it would end up with me balling my eyes out because all these healthy foods just doesn't do it for me so ice cream has been my best friend lately.

Even though I am stubborn, I still eat whatever Valerius cooks because they are very delicious, but I still want to eat him for breakfast, lunch and dinner. "Promise me, you will have fruits with these." Oh, I have to eat fruits with the ice cream because Valerius says I need to 'balance' my diet.

This is exactly why I gave up on going to the gym four times a week.

"Miss Lamoureaux and Mr Santis?" The doctor says, making the both of us stand, Valerius leans into my ear, "I can't wait for them to say Mr and Mrs Santis." Biting my lip, I rest my head on Valerius's shoulder as we walked side by side.

Once we reached the office, we are welcomed by our doctor, Dr Caine, "Ah, my favourite patient," Valerius clenched and unclenched his fist, clearing his throat to assert his dominance. Valerius, if you couldn't tell, doesn't like him. Mr Caine is a happily married man, who just has a flirtatious behaviour with everyone.

"How are you doing, Shira." Shaking my hand, he repeats the same action with Valerius but keeping his eyes on me, which Valerius would complain about later on. "I am fine." I smile, keeping a hand on my stomach and the other interlocked with Valerius's one.

"And the little bean," Valerius clenched his fist again, another thing he didn't like was when someone else mentioned the nickname Valerius gave our baby. "Very well." Dr Caine nodded and began to scribble notes into his diary.

"Ok, so are you excited for your ultrasound today?" Dr Caine folded his hands and Valerius looked at me with a warm smile before nodding. I knew that out of the two of us, he was more excited than I was. Not saying that I wasn't but Valerius couldn't wait to meet our world.

"So you have passed your first trimester but I need to ask some questions to see if you are on track if that's ok?" Nodding, Dr Caine began to read out the questions. "Does your vaginal discharge smell strange or unpleasant? Has it changed colour? Does your vagina feel itchy or sore?" I answered 'no' before Dr Caine continued.

"Have you been taking your vitamins prescribed and using the cream prescribed for sensitive skin due to the sun?" Valerius answered on my behalf as I took a sip of water. "Has she been taking plenty of rest and staying hydrated? Valerius answered 'yes'.

Dr Caine finished asking the remaining questions, which Valerius answered. "You are my first patient whose husband takes very good care of their wife's pregnancy symptoms. Anyways, let's get to see this little one or ones."

Getting up from the seat, I lay myself down on the bed and lift my t-shirt up. Valerius sits beside me on the other side, holding my hand. "This will feel a bit cold," Dr Caine pours the gel on my lower stomach and a little shiver shudders throughout my body.

Pressing the wand on my stomach, Valerius and I turn to the black and white screen next to us. "I think I see something," The black and white captured our baby, showing how the dark zone of the placenta surrounded my baby. "There you go but I think I see something else. Right... Over here," Another small head peaked into the screen.

"Congratulations, you are blessed with two little beans." Dr Caine smiled, while the printer printed our pictures of the two babies I am carrying in my stomach. A tear slipped from my eyes, Valerius kissed my cheek and laced a hand over my stomach.

"God blessed us with two, amore," Val ripped some of the tissue from the paper roll next to us, wiping the excess gel from my stomach. "Now, you are going to have to feed for three but here are the pictures," Taking the pictures into my hand, I was even more excited to meet them.

"Soon you will be able to find out the gender of your baby. If you would like to know." Valerius nodded and took my hand in his and before leaving we thanked him.

"Six months to go, little beans."
