Emilia

Marcello examined the front of the dress Emilia was wearing thoroughly and then ushered for her to turn around.

Emilia's eyes squinted shut as she shook her head "No."

Marcello's eyes widened."No."He said in a mocking tone.

Emilia huffed." I really like this dress and if I turn around you are going to pick it apart."

Marcello's eyebrow quirked up in curiosity as his blue eyes turned a shade darker.

Emilia didn't want to see him angry or upset so she turned around.

"Absolutely not Emilia. Absolutely not." He shook his head in a vigorous manner." It's completely backless not even laced  or closed off midway and you being pregnant makes it worse.... especially for me."He stated a matter of factly.

She couldn't help but laugh."Marcello, how does me being pregnant make it worse for you ?" Marcello's eyes widened as he turned his face to look at the floor.

"Did I say that out loud?

Emilia smiled while walking up to him."Yes, you did. Now tell me." She kissed his jaw,"Tell me." then she kissed his cheek.

He groaned."Your curvier, your ass is bigger, your breasts are bigger which makes other men stare at you and you being pregnant doesn't seem to stop them and especially if you are in a dress like that."Emilia nodded as he placed a kiss on her shoulder blade.

"All this is cute and all but I missed how this is hard for you, please enlighten me Mr.Dell'amore."She bit her lip slightly.

He placed his hand on her bump as he placed his lips on her ear and whispered ever so softly. " The fact that you are carrying my children in your womb makes it ten times worse and your baby bump is very visible might I add. With that being said I don't promise the dress will stay on for very long, sweetheart."Her heart was beating immensely fast as she placed a kiss on his neck.

"I hate that you being in close proximity to me for just a second can make me so disoriented."  He chuckled and Emilia playfully hit his chest."Pick my dress out for me then and make sure it kind of covers my bump."

Marcello growled."But that's what draws them away."

Emilia smiled."If it makes you feel better in like a month it will be practically impossible to hide my bump," She told him as she rubbed her bump, her brown orbs filled with adoration.

Marcello smiled and bent down to place a kiss on her bump.

"Now come on let's pick out your dress." He then straightened his posture and led Emilia towards the dresses.

There was a swift knock on the door before a deep voice asked, "Emilia are you here?"

"Yeah, one moment," She yelled while fixing her french braid.

She grabbed her clutch and then made her way out of the bathroom to find Gabriel standing before her.

Gabriel examined Emilia thoroughly  before saying all too softly, "You look beautiful."

Emilia smiled."Thank you."

"I heard you were heading back to the U.K.," He stated, his green eyes holding disappointment.

She smiled placing her hand on his shoulder."That doesn't mean I won't visit."

He sighed looking into Emilia's eyes ."I don't want you to go."

"I don't want to go either but it is what it is, "She mumbled sadly.

"Emilia I need to tell you something and I don't know if it will change anything but...."He took a deep breath before continuing."I like you."He told her his green eyes sparkling.

Emilia looked at Gabriel in the utmost shock.

She didn't know how to respond.

"Gabe-"She was interrupted by her bedroom door being shot open.

Her gaze shifted in the direction of the door only to feel as if her heart dropped the minute her eyes met those familiar grey-blue eyes.
