The sound of rain and thunderstorms outside filled the silence in the Maroni Villa. Although Dante actually forbade you to do the housework or put too much effort, you still stood in Tempest cozy and especially pink room.

You were just sorting out her cute little clothes and couldn’t help but smile. Dante and you have a little daughter and soon you will have another one. Your hand rested on your big belly, you could feel how the baby was kicking and getting heavier day by day.

When you finished sorting the clothes, you walked out of the room and walked down to the cozy living room where Dante and Tempest were supposed to play some princess games. But they didn’t.

Dante sat on the couch with Tempest on his chest, his huge hand rested on her tiny back, her hand grabbed his shirt, her little head was buried in his chest. You leaned against the door frame, your hand on your enormous belly while you admired the sight.

Suddenly there was a loud rumble and then a flash of lightning strikes, Tempest was frightened, her hand pulled her papa’s shirt tighter and her breathing became heavier. She would start crying. Dante reassured her immediately. “Papa’s here and Mama’s standing right there, look.” Tempest looked up and her face brightened when she saw you “Mama!” You waved her with a smile. Dante's gaze fell on your face and ran over your body. “Come here, mama.” he said, his voice rich and so attractive.

You pushed yourself off the doorframe, walked over to the couch and sat down. Tempest snuggled up to Dante's chest again and Dante's hand came and rested on your belly. Lightning struck again. Tempest was frightened again and you fought hard to hold back your laughter. Dante stroked her back and looked at you. “She’ll be angry with you when you laugh at her, mama” But he smiled himself.

A few minutes passed in silence, only the rain was heard and Tempest soothing breathing. “and she’s gone.” Dante pulled you closer, gave you a kiss on your head. “I’ll protect you all, from everything. I promise.”

You knew it was true, Dante was a man who kept his promises.

You snuggled closer to him, Dante gently wrapped his free arm around your waist and gave you a kiss on your temple.
