Beauty And The Mobster

Thirty One

~B.~

I sat on the left side of Marcello at the head of the table. We had passed around the fettuccini Alfredo long ago and now people were reaching for seconds.

Catalina was in the middle so everyone could talk to her and see how her recovery went. I watched everyone with a smile while spinning noodles onto my fork.

Marcello's hand clutched my left hand and fiddled with my ring. He had a habit of doing that now. We hadn't told anyone because tonight was about Catalina and her recovery.

I glanced over at him to see him smirking at something Dean said. When our gaze met I blew him a kiss with a cheeky smile.

I didn't mean to listen in on their conversation but I couldn't help myself.

"The families gone completely underground, they have to hide from the media and the feds." My eyes widened at Dean's words. The Bianchi's were under fire and I couldn't help but feel absolute glee.

Was this because of the picture?
My heart skipped a beat at the thought of helping in the slightest to stop them.

Mel kicked me under the table and I snapped my eyes to hers. She had Elijah wrapped up tightly and I cooed at him.

"Can I?" This was the first time I'd seen him since I literally helped birth him.

"Course hun, you know me and Frankie were thinking about making you God Mother." I made incoherent sounds and nodded enthusiastically. I ignored everyone's laughing and made grabby hands at the kid.

I happily cradled him and brushed the little babies hair out of his face.

"Hi pretty boy," I whispered and admired his pretty brown eyes. He had his moms nose and his fathers eyes. He was dressed in a onesie meant to look like a tuxedo and I couldn't help but appreciate it greatly.

I felt Marcello looking over my shoulder and just knew he was getting baby fever.

"Ah!" I jumped slightly at Corrine's sudden gasp. I was carefully not to jostle Elijah. Corrine had been spending a suspicious amount of time with Caesar and Lily. They had arrived together and Lily clung to her adorably.

"What?" I asked as she gaped at me. I glanced down to where she was staring.

"That's- Damn! That is a fucking rock! Oh shit sorry Lily."

I gave her a sheepish smile and rocked Elijah. He gripped my index finger as people fired questions.

Marcello ignored them and wiggled his index finger in the babies face. He smiled at him and my ovaries were suddenly churning ready to deliver an egg for him to impregnate.

"Hello! Love birds!" Frankie snapped at us, "answers please!"

"I proposed after the bullshit she pulled with her mother," I pouted at the jab.

I kissed his cheek, then the babies forehead and gave my extra hand to Mel who reached for it.

She marveled at the ring and immediately looked at Frankie. I winced at the scathing look she gave him.

Leo got up and leaned over the back of our chairs to give us hugs. Everyone started congratulating us and I felt Mathew kiss my cheek.

He gripped my shoulder and gave me a grin reassuring me.

I passed Elijah over to his parents. I groaned when Corrine pounced on me. She sat her large body on me and inspected the ring.

"How could you not tell me, you bitch."

I shrugged and looked at it with her. Once the excitement died down I had excitedly gotten out dessert. Catalina made pie as well.

Marcello pulled me into his lap and I pecked his cheek. I grabbed a peanut butter ball and urged him to eat one.

He took a bite as I held it. He licked his lips and nodded, "very good baby."

"I told you so."

"You were right," he wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"I'm always right," I huffed at him.

Marcello opened his mouth to retort and Caesar pointed his finger at him, "happy wife, happy life. Shut up, man."

I smirked and met Caesar's witty smile. Marcello grumbled as he leaned back in his chair.

I sat back on his crotch purposefully and leaned my elbows on the table as I talked to Catalina and Leo about his childhood. Maybe this would shut him up.

Lily played with RJ in the corner and I practically raced to play with her. The rest of the night was spent as if we were normal people.

After everyone left we cleaned up and I finished up cleaning the counter and turned. Only I bumped into Marcello right away.

I glanced behind him to see little RJ sleeping in his cage and Hershel on top of it with a blanket.

I averted my eyes to the can of whip cream in my fiancé's hand and rolled my eyes.

I laughed at his smirk, "une affaire est une affaire, mon amour."

A deal is a deal, my love

My laughter was cut short as he carried my over to the table to lay me down and quickly ridded me of my dress.

The rest of the night was spent with each of us getting sticky in places I doubt we ever thought we would.
