......

The only sound in Isabella's room.

Its been five hours since I was allowed to see her. I take her hand and look at her. She seems so fragile. So small. All this because I couldn't take care of her. Because I told her she could come with me to the office. Because I broke up with Bianca. Because I can't get out of the mafia. Because I... Because I got her pregnant. She's here because of me.

Bringing Isabella into my life was a huge mistake. A mistake that I don't regret. I look at her face and remember the day she came for the interview and bumped into me. She looked so fierce and even though that Martha had tried to degrade her during the interview she stood up for herself. She looked so fragile but fierce at the same time. I was intrigued.

I place my palm on her bump. Something I've always wanted to do since I discovered she was having our baby. My baby. I'm a sucker for kids and I've always wanted one. My mother always wanted my father to leave the mafia but my father never wanted to. This led to arguments and fights each day. Since Liam looked up to my dad he always chose his side while I was on my mum's. I would spend my days with her and my little sister, Sofia. They were involved in a car crush after my mom threatened to tell the cops but I knew the crush was planned. Specifically by dad and his men. Due to depression, I spent days with kids around Sofia's age until I loved them.

I notice that my palm is still on Isabella's tummy and before I retract it, I feel something hit it. I look down in shock and I feel it again. The baby kicked! An overwhelming feeling lands into my chest. The baby kicked! I look at Isabella praying that she wakes up. It's always been her wish to feel the baby kick. I feel something wet on my cheeks and when I wipe it. I notice it's tears. Did I just cry?

"You really should wake up Izzy. Our baby just kicked. I know how much you wanted to feel it." I continue watching her tummy in amazement. "Our baby is so strong."

I look at the bandage wrapped around Isabella's head and a picture of Bianca pushing Isabella comes to my head. I've been so stressed about Isabella and our baby's health that I forgot about Bianca. She'll pay for this.
