There I was in dress number five , I couldn't seem to just find the one and I was already tired. I just wanted to go back to my son already. I huff getting annoyed with all these dresses. "Nicki" Donna says looking at me in concern. "Yeah?"

"Why don't you tell us what you would like to wear and Im sure we will find the right dress next." I nod thinking for a minute, "I did see a dress while passing by to the dress room" they all smile and nod. "Great why don't you show the girl and she brings it for you?" Katrina says smiling.

"It looked really expensive, I really don't want to spend too much" I say looking down. Donna snorts, "If you haven't noticed, you are getting married to a billionaire, you can literally buy all of the dresses here" I sigh and shake my head. "No lets look at dress number 6"

"No we are not, tell the girl which dress is your dress" Francesca says glaring at me. I know she means well but she can be very scary when she wants to. I look at a smiling and awaiting Tiffany. "The one on the corner by the window" she squeals and runs to get it. I turn to a smirking Francesca, "happy now?" She shrugs, "definitely".

I go to try on the dress, its truly beautiful. After trying it on, I finally look up in the dressing room mirror. I couldn't believe that was me right there, I didn't look like my old self. This was a different me, beautiful, confident and a drop dead gorgeous woman.

I smile at myself, breathing in and out. Getting out of the dressing room, Tiffany has a surprised face "now that is your dress" I giggle getting teary. "Come lets go show the others" she helps me with the back as I walk back to the group.

They we are laughing at a story my Gran was telling until they saw me. "My baby" Grandma says tearing up. "Please don't cry, Im already on the verge of sobbing". Each and everyone of them looked at me in awe. "You look so beautiful Nicole" Katrina says wiping her tears. "I love it" Donna speaks with glossy eyes as well.

"I think this is the dress" Micheal squeals "It definitely is" after some time of admiring the dress, I go to change and we stay at the bridal store for another hour finding the bridesmaid dresses for Donna and Katrina. Micheals suit will be done the next day at the tailor.

Grandma, Francesca and Kathy tried on gowns as well which they all chose their favorites. Once we were done, we went for lunch at an Italian restaurant Kathy wanted us to try. And of course we loved it. My phone chimes in the middle of our conversation, it was Dante.

"Come home, we miss you" I smile and reply we will be home in an hour. "Okay ladies, lets go home. Its been a long day" Francesca says getting up. Before we left I ordered the men some desert, I know they all have quite a sweet tooth.

After what seems to be forever, we get home and I quickly go to the office to check on my boys, they were not there. I go to the nursery and still they were not there. Huffing I open the adjoining door to the bedroom and there were my boys, soundly napping, it was 6pm when we got back and I'm guessing Nico kept his father busy. It was such a beautiful sight to see that I didn't want to wake them.

So I walk carefully to the bed, Dante was on his side and Nico was next to him, both snoring a little, I smiled and got in the bed facing them. To this day, I still can't believe that this is my life, at the age of 24 (changed her age) I have become a mother and a soon to be wife. I couldn't be more happier.

"Hi" Dante raspy voice brings me back from my thoughts. He full smile out, "Hi" I says brushing his hair. "We missed you today" I smile "I missed you guys so much more" he comes closer for a chaste kiss. "You know, your son has a lot of energy, I never get easily tired but this boy seems to take all my energy" he chuckles while looking at a snoring Nico. I giggle "being a parent is not easy, its all patience"

"How was dress shopping?" I sigh "exhausting but we found the dress, all dresses actually. We even went to your favorite tailor shop to organize a fitting for you guys and what I would like for you to wear" He chuckles "so I have no say on the matter?" I giggle "Well if you have any ideas thats fine, but last time I checked you wanted me to be in control of everything and you'll just say yes"

He shrugs "I did say that, thank you Gattina. For being with me, for having my child, for accepting me as yours. I know in the beginning of our relationship, I didn't quite give you an option of not choosing to be with me. But you truly being with me makes me happy"

I smile and kiss his forehead. "I was yours before you even claimed me, just took you a while to realize what a catch I was" I chuckles shaking his head. "I knew I wanted to claim you from the start, I just didn't want to put you in my dangerous life back then, I tried my best to not think of you but woman, you constantly were on my mind. I really didn't have a choice put to accept that I wanted you, I still and will always want you."

I blush looking at our son. Dante and I have not been intimate since the baby arrived. The 6 weeks passed long time ago but I think he is just waiting for me to make the move. I haven't been feeling confident enough about my body and I just wanted to get my shape back before we have sex again. I really do appreciate him being a gentleman and waiting, and luckily I am gaining my confidence day by day.

He hasn't seen my body yet. I would shower after he is long gone and would hardly sleep naked anymore. I truly was losing my confidence but he would remind me as much as he can of how much he loves me and will only love me. The Dante I know when we are alone is quite different from the scary, dominating, boss Dante everyone else knows.

My Dante is sweet, loves to cuddle, a whole sexy gentleman. I truly do love him with my all. He brushes my hair while I seemed to zoom out again, I do that a lot apparently. "What are you thinking about?" "Just how lucky I am to have you" He smiles, "I'm the lucky one, last year I wouldn't have thought in a month, my whole life could change so drastically but then here you are"

"I love..." Nico makes a sound, his dark green eyes looking straight at me, blinking like a lost child. "My fiancé can't even tell me she loves me without you interrupting huh?" Dante says kissing Nicos' forehead. "Well its his bath time and his knows it" I smile at my little one. He gives us a toothless smiles making baby sounds. Nico never cries when waking up which can be quite stressful thinking he would be awake while I'm sleeping so I check up on him every 1 to 2 hours just to make sure he is sleeping or awake.

He only cries when his hungry or when his Diaper needs to be changed. He really doesn't like to stay dirty, just like his Dad. We get up to go to the adjoining room which is his nursery, while Dante is choosing Nicos' sleeping onesie, I breastfeed my little one humming a song which Nico seems to like every time.

Once done and burping him we go to his little bathtub and bathe him together. This would usually be our bonding time with Dante since he would work all day and only come home when its Nicos' bath time. Its our family bonding time, just the three of us.

Once that is done, we join the others for Dinner, Marco of course stole my baby. Playing with him and all, he really does love babies. Once Dinner ends we all heard to bed, well just me and Dante, Donna thought I should rest while she takes care of Nico till he falls asleep. I really do appreciate the family helping out. As I didn't want a nanny and wanted to do this by myself, they made sure I still rest and help out as much as possible.

So I kiss my sleepy boy and head to bed with Dante, usually he would go to his office and work for 2 more hours and come to bed which by that time I would have dosed off but today he just wanted to spend some time with me alone. Obviously I was nervous, we would be alone without Nico or the family. I didn't quite understand why I was so scared but I was. Scared that he wouldn't want me the way he did before, my insecurities have a tendency of doing that to me and I hated it. Dante always tried to make sure I know he only wants me, but still.

He holds my hand, taking us back to our sanctuary, I quickly let go of his hand and go straight to the bathroom. I could hear him sighing out loud, he knew I was insecure and he wasn't going to let me hide anymore, Not from him. He follows me inside the bathroom while I was unsure if I should shower now or not. He wraps his hands around my waist as he slowly lifts my top while kissing my shoulder.

Tensing and closing my eyes, I didn't want to see his face when he saw the stretch marks on my stomach, he fully takes of my top leaving me in a bra, still not opening my eyes, I felt his fingers tracing the stretch marks. "Beautiful" he whisper in my ear. Opening my eyes I see his reflection in the mirror looking at me. Tearing up "you don't hate them?"

"They are a sign of how strong and powerful you are for carrying our child, how can I hate them?" A tear rolls down my face, "your body is beautiful babygirl, never doubt that, okay?" I nod turning to face him. He quickly wipes the tears off my face and kisses me. It was slow, showing me how much he loves me as much as he can.

I slowly unbutton his shirt which he shrugs off. "Take a bath with me" I nod and peck his lips. He goes to the big bathtub filling it with water and my favorite bath salt. We both fully take of our clothes and get in the tub. Sitting opposite to each other. "Come here Gattina" in his deep velvet voice. I shake my head no, smirking at him. He chuckles "please?" I giggle and move to his lap, I could feel him under and I gasped.

He smirked, knowing exactly why I'm reacting to him. I lay my hands on his hard chest, tracing the roaring lion. He goes to leave wet kisses on my neck, "I missed you babygirl" I gasp when he holds my hips and starts grinding me on him. I moan enjoying the attention of it all. "Dante, I need you" I could feel his smirk on my neck.

"I'm all yours Gattina" I reach in between us, stroking him slowly while he throws his head back moaning. I slowly guide myself on him, he looks back at me. "Fuck baby" It felt a little painful at first an almost sharp sting. I breathe once we are fully connected. "I really fucking missed you" he says kissing my jaw. "I missed you too" I whisper as I start to ride him, enjoying the sensation of it all.

We go at it until we reach our highs. Breathing hard, "I love you" I whisper looking at his shut eyes. He slowly opens them and smiles "I love you Gattina" we bathe each other and get out to the bedroom. On the way out Dante carries me over his shoulder, I squeal "Dante!" "I'm not done yet" he says spanking my ass. Laughing "I wouldn't expect less from you Mr Moretti" and we went all night long till 3am in the morning.

Hey guys!!!

How have y'all been doing? Are y'all staying home? You better! I wouldn't want anything happening to you guys.

How was the chapter?

I wanted to thank each and everyone of you guys for sticking by my book. I truly appreciate it. Im shook we are at 400k views, I didn't expect for it to be like this.

I have read all good and well not good comments. I appreciate all those supporting, helping out when they see a problem and inform me, truly you guys are the best.

I was arguing with myself today, I saw so much of the bad comments that I didn't notice the good ones and for a moment I thought I should just stop writing, maybe the book wasn't good enough. But then I went to my comments again and just saw all the good ones and I felt that I can do this, F the hate comments, I'll keep writing for my supporters.

So I'm back and in full force. I will be rewriting my old chapters as I have grown now and I feel like my old chapters need to make more sense. Anywho! Thank you guys.

I love you all!

Next update coming soon.
