Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461: She Can Do It

"Is she okay?" Vee asked immediately, gripping his arms.

"I don’t..." Luca swallowed, and the sound was so unlike him that her heart clenched. "I don’t know. Marco is in there with her. I don’t fucking know. I don’t know, Vee."

Vee cupped his face, forcing him to look at her. "She’s going to be alright...She’s strong. She can do it."

Luca stared at her as if he wanted to believe her so badly it hurt.

"Breathe."

Luca pulled her fully into his arms again, holding her so tightly she could feel the violent beat of his heart against her chest. "Don’t ever do that to me."

Vee frowned against him. "What?"

"You cannot do that to me. You cannot go through that."

Her brows furrowed. "You’ve never seen a woman in labour before."

"I’m hoping this will be my first and my last."

"Uh...Luca? I thought..."

"Not anymore," Luca snapped.

Vee stared at him and smiled. He looked genuinely distressed. His face had gone pale and his panic looked boyish so much so that he was trying very hard to strangle it before it embarrassed him in public.

Luca had been brought to his knees by childbirth. "Bambola," he said, his voice rough with fear. This kind of pain he could not fight, he could not shoot, he could not threaten. The pain he had seen Val go through was entirely beyond his control.

Vee ran a hand down his back, slow and soothing, feeling the tension locked in every muscle. He was terrified for what this meant when their time came. "She’s okay," Vee whispered. "She has to be okay."

The double doors at the end of the corridor swung open. Vee saw Marco step out. Everything inside her went still.

She quickly straightened, her hand falling away from Luca’s back. Luca turned too, his entire body locking beside her, already expecting the worst because that was what he was natural wired to expect.

Marco stood there, his shirt wrinkled, his eyes red and bright. He looked like he had been through battle.

Luca reached for her hand. She grabbed his tightly. Together, they walked toward Marco, their steps both careful.

Marco took a deep breath. "It’s a boy," Marco whispered.

Vee yelped happily. She jumped forward and threw her arms around Marco, holding him as tightly as she could. "Oh my God, Marco!"

Marco laughed into her shoulder, shaky and overwhelmed. "A boy."

Luca heaved a breath of relief so deep it seemed to come from the bottom of his soul. He shut his eyes for a moment, one hand dragging over his face as if he could wipe away the terror of the past hour. "Thank fuck," he muttered.

Vee pulled back from Marco, still smiling. "How is she?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"She’s exhausted but fine," Marco replied.

"Are you okay?" Luca asked.

Marco looked at him, then down at his own hands. His fingers were trembling. "I am now, I think." He collapsed into the nearest seat.

It was strange, Vee thought.
