Chapter 195
I let Julian lead the way to Nico’s house, even though I was the one who used to be a frequent visitor here. I wanted him to be the first one to face whoever opened the door.
It was Nua.
She opened up and smiled at us, Nua usually wore heels. Barefoot, today, in her house, she was even smaller. She was wearing a cute pink dress and her hair were done in a simple updo.
“No.” Julian said curtly. She smiled and stepped to the side, letting us in. Julian was quick to rush in. He spotted Donna and ran to her, leaving me behind to speak to Num.
“Hey,” I extended a hug, and we hugged for a few seconds, “How are you?”
“Good,”
the nodded, “You? I heard about the scare. I wanted to visit but there was a lot going on.”
“That’s alright.”
She had called a bunch of times. And sent flowers. It was incredibly sweet of her.
I handed her our small gift bag. We had gotten scented candles because we didn’t know what else to get.
“Thank you, there was really no need,” Nun said politely, and I shrugged. “I just need to check on the food. Please sit down?”
She went way to the kitchen, and I made my way inside. Jullian was sitting on the couch with Donna. The rest of the people were nowhere to be seen.
“Donna,” I greeted, “Hello”
She smiled brightly, beaming up at me. “Please, Ginevra, sit down. Also, you look beautiful. You’re positively glowing.”
“I’m really okay,” I told her as I sat down, but she shook her head at me. “Where is everyone else?” I asked hesitantly.
“Manano and Emilio went out for a smoke, and Bethany is ” She stopped short, looking behind me. I turned around too, as Bethany and Nico emerged from his room. They spotted me, and Bethany rushed to my side, pulling me into a hug. She asked about how I was feeling, but didn’t dwell on it. She wasn’t pitying me or extremely worried like
everyone else. It felt really nice. Normal. It was good to feel normal.
“Hey,” Nico said from behind her. I stood up to hug him, but be awkwardly shook my hand instead. That was new. Where was this coming from?
“Come with me,” He said urgently. He took my hand, leading me to his room. I could feel Julian’s eyes follow us like a trail until we disappeared from his line of sight. But he didn’t say anything. We had talked about this, that he would control his jealousy. Or if not, at least he wouldn’t act on it. It was going well till now, but the night had barely started.
Nico pulled me inside his room, and then into a hug. He didn’t let go for maybe a whole minute. “I was so scared,” he whispered, “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
I smiled, “Yeah, me too. It was really scary, but its all okay.”
He nodded, laying a kiss on my forehead.
“Why are we doing this in your room? It looks weird.”
“I know,” he sighed, sitting down on the bed, “I don’t know the protocol now that I’m married. I don’t know what all is acceptable and on the table.”
I smiled, “I think you can hug me freely. In public would be better. For bo
For both Nua and Julian.”
Nico nodded
“I have to tell you something.
“Yeah, what’s up?

I excitedly took his hand in mine and squeezed. “Our daughter. We’ve decided her middle name.”
“What is it?”
“Nicola.” I let out softly.
He didn’t say anything for a few seconds.
“I mean,” I added, “If you agree. If that’s okay with you. And I’d also love for you to be her godfather.”
“Okay with me?” Nico shot up from his seat. “Thank you, thank you! I can’t believe that.”

bedroom and into the living room where everyone else was seated. I followed him, giggling.
“They’re naming her after me!” He announced excitedly, “Nicola. Their kid’s middle name.”
Everyone looked at us, and Consigliere and Don shared a look.
Bethany beamed at me. “That’s wonderful. Have you decided a first name?”
