I wake up to the feeling of warmth, I find Dante's arms wrapped right around my body. It had been two weeks since we've brought Alessia home. And to be honest? So much has happened.

Dante and I are officially dating now, even though he continues to joke that what we have is just a bed thing. Alessia is happy that her mum and dad are finally together, and my wounds? Well they're getting there.

Dante's light snoring however, only encourages me to poke him on the arm.

"Hmm? Zaffiro." His gruff voice only sent shivers down my body. It didn't take him long until his fingers were smoothing my arms and feeling the goosebumps. His mouth comes close to my ear with a whisper, "Do you like my voice?" I hear him chuckle behind me which only causes me to giggle.

"Dante?" I turn around to face him and watch as his eyes light up. He looks at me and nods for me to continue.

"What does Zaffiro mean?" My pronunciation was off completely, but I guess that's what happens when you're not one hundred percent Italian.

"Saphire." His gruff voice replies. He's had a shave since we've gotten Alessia back, I liked him having a longer beard, but I definitely prefer him with a shorter one. I look at him and watch as he smiles.

"Why Saphire?"

"Because your eyes are the most beautiful that I have ever seen." He raises his hand and cups my chin, pulling my face close to his, forcing our lips to touch roughly.

I try not to smile while his lips and teeth are attacking me but I stuggle as soon as he puts my body under his.

"Dante stop! Alessia will come in soon!" I squeal and try not to laugh.

"Well then Zaffiro, you better stop squealing and not be so loud." I nod slowly and feel as his fingers begin to glide up my naked legs. I release a smile and wait for his lips to conquer mine.

It was now the afternoon and we were all outside, some of us on deck chairs, some of us standing by the pool drinking coke.

Alessia was soon back in her own skin as she is running around with Violetta. I was worried to begin with about her, witnessing me go through the torture Ivan put me through. She hasn't spoken a word of it other than the day, I told her I was fine and there was nothing to worry about, but I told her that she should never put up with shit like that.

That's when Dante and I finally agreed for Alessia to take self defense classes with Nicolas, since he has long experience working in the mafia. I didn't want my little girl growing up in a dangerous world, but now I'm beginning to think they're the best we got.

The door bell to the mansion suddenly vibrates the walls, echoing into the garden. I bolt up curious to see who is at the door. But Dante comes past me, kisses me on the cheek and says "I'll get it."

I let him get the door but creep around the corner and witness the red hair and a very familiar, recognisable figure behind her. They both squealed and ran towards me. It was Maya and my mother.

"I've missed you so much!" I exclaim and hug them so tight just as they chuckle and announce that they've missed me too.

We all enter back through the garden to carry on with our BBQ. Alessia's eyes gleem as soon as they lay on the two people behind me, she begins to jump up and down, she drags Violetta over and they both hug my mother first and then Maya.

I introduce them both to the mafia family.

"That's Bruno, Dante's brother, that's his wife and daughter, Sofia and Violetta." I point while having a smile on my face.

"That's Justin, we didn't get along at first." I chuckle and my mother and Maya both follow.

"That's Cameron." I point to the tall, slim guy with black hair and brown eyes. I turn to Maya's who has her eyes fixated onto Cameron.

"He is so hot, I only live once, I'm going over there." And she does just that, she walks over to Cameron, grabbing a wine glass and smirking at him with her eyes full of lust.

I can't help but chuckle at her.

It was the late evening, Luna and I were in the SUV pulling up at the best restaurant in New York.

Luna and I have been together for a year now, one blissful year full of happiness and hope. But within that year too much has happened. Maya moved away from Italy to stay at New York for a personal reason, yet Cameron picked up and moved out too, one of my best men, picked up and moved, I still don't know where, I think he's trying to figure it out still for himself, but he needs this, Luna and I were originally in New York to see Maya settling in, we did but now we're us tonight. Enjoying each others company, sharing our love for one another.

We approach the table which is covered with rose petals and candles. She looks up at me with a red flush on her cheeks. "You really didn't have to do all this Dante." She chuckles, trying to cover up her shyness.

"Of course I do, I love you." I pull her close to me and part my lips, placing them on her cheek and leaving another one of my marks.

"I love you too." She smiles.

I allow her to get comfy on her chair and tuck it in for her, she glances at me and watches me until I sit down opposite her.

"So, how is it been since Cameron has recently left?" Luna and I have always been open with discussing business, she's left her office position now and is helping Sofia out in attempts to open up a bakery. Who know a police officer to a baker?

"Manageable Zaffiro." I hold her hand and we order food, the restaurant is quiet, little to no noise was avaliable.

"You know I love you, don't you?" I ask, she looks up from her glass of water wide eyed.

"Of course I know, I love you too Dante. What's wrong?" The anxiety was visable in her voice, I clear my throat and tell her there isn't anything to worry about, I was simply just talking to her.

"Even though we never discussed the way I thought as soon as I saw you, even though I was curious to see who you were, I was intrigued in other ways, who you were as a person for one." She looks at me, smiling, trying not to blush, but it's too late.

"I love you all over again, each day I love you more, and our little girl Alessia." Thinking about my daughter only caused a smile to invade my face.

"Dante, I have something to tell you."

"Wait a moment Luna." I stand up and move to the side, Luna positions herself to face me, but then I get down on one knee. I feel the cobble stone invade my skin, already pricing through to leave a faint mark. But all I could look and think about was Luna, her facial expression, the tears in her eyes. She covers her mouth with her hand and begins to cry.

I reach into my pocket as she attempts to recover herself, I open the velvet box and reveal the basic yet suitable ring for Luna. I know Luna is never into big amounts of jewellery, if she ever wore any it was small and dainty. The band of the ring was silver with a tiny diamond in the middle. I watch as her eyes release more liquid.

"Luna Gomez, would you do the honor in becoming my wife?" I ask her, already knowing the answer. I always knew the answer.

She nods and sobs harder, releasing her left hand for me to take and slide the ring on, over her marriage finger. I kiss her hand and she stands up. We kiss and we hug in front of the little people avaliable to see our happiness.

"What did you want to tell me? It sounded urgent but I couldn't wait any longer to ask the question." She chuckles and removes the excess tears trying to escape.

She takes in a deep breath and looks at me, she places a hand on her stomach at the same time as telling me "I'm pregnant."

With those two little words, I pick her up, hold her close to me and put my hand on her stomach, I was never there as a father for Alessia, I was gutted. But I now can watch Luna glow through her pregnancy while our second child grows. I kiss her forehead and hold her like I'm the happiest man on the world.

"Thank you for making me the most happiest man in the world." She held me tight, as I did with her now fragile body.

I never knew an undercover officer who I previously encountered years before would be the reason why I'd be happy in the end, I never thought I'd be happy after my mother past. I never thought anyone could love me again, in anyway, shape or form. We've opened up about our pasts, our nightmares, her own father behaving the way he does. It only encourages me to be the best father I can be.

But, Luna saw through my demons, my darkness, and loves me... For me.

So...Thats it... Unveiling Dante is officially complete!
