Marc's POV

It has been a few days since our appointment and we are getting ready for family dinner and Riley has made the gender reveal cake. I can't believe we are having a little girl. It also scares me. I know this little girl will be fiercely protected not just by me but her uncles as well. I walk into the kitchen and the most wonderful smell invades my nostrils.

"It smells so good in here."

"Thank you, baby. Thought I would go for comfort food tonight. The roast is almost ready and I am finishing up the cake. Your mom and dad should be here shortly." Just as she says that, the doorbell rings and I go to answer it.

"Hello my darling boy. How are you?" Lucia asks.

"I'm doing well. The leg is almost healed."

"That's great. So do we know what you two are having?" Angelo asks.

"Ha, you will find out when everyone else does."

"Worth a shot, right?" Lucia smirks.

"Yeah, I guess so. Come on in, dinner is almost ready."

They walk in and head to the living room where everyone is. Lucia immediately goes over to pick up Armani.

"How is my grandson?"

"He's been a little fussy lately. I think he may be starting to cut his teeth." Cas answers.

"Poor boy, I remember when Damian started that. There was nothing that would console him. It was rough for awhile." Angelo adds.

"Oh, so that was when all the crankiness started?" Alex started laughing and I saw Damian give him a stern look. He quickly stopped but the smile was still there. These were my brothers. They were always digging at each other. Of course if it was anyone else, Damian probably would have put a bullet in his head. Just then my love comes into the room and lets us know dinner was ready. We all help her set the table and we all sit and dig in.

"This is amazing, Riley."

"Thank you, Lucia."

"How are you feeling, dear?"

"I am doing much better. I actually felt the baby flutter the other day. It felt weird but wonderful.

"Awww."

"How are things going at the warehouses, son?" Angelo asks of Damian.

"Everything has been going rather well, lately. It's kinda weird. It's been a long time since everything was quiet."

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth son. Don't let your guard down. There is always someone wanting what you have."

"I know, dad."

We all sit and talk for a bit and then it is time for cake. We clear the table and then bring in the cake and coffee.

"Alright mom, we give you the honor of cutting the cake."

I hand her the knife and she comes over to cut the cake. We all wait until she cuts a piece and pulls it out.

She turns around with tears in her eyes.

"I'm getting a granddaughter?"

Riley stands skating her head with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, mom."

My mom walks over to Riley and gives her a hug.

"Yeah, now I can start shopping."

I just laugh because I know our little bean will be spoiled before she is born.

"Congratulations, man. That's great." Damian says.

"Congrats you two. I can't wait to meet her." Cas adds.

"We now have a prince and princess. Who knows maybe they will end up together someday." Alex says with a smile.

"Watch it mister! No one will be good enough for my daughter! No offense Damian."

"None taken, bro. I would be the same way when I have a daughter."

"Umm, let's let Armani grow up a bit before we think about that." Cas says with a huff.

I see a smirk cross Damian's lips as he looks at her. I know that look and I feel the same way. I will put as many babies in Riley as she'll let me. I never thought I wanted a family until her. She has changed me in so many ways. I want to be a better man for her. I walk over to her and place a hand on her stomach as I kiss her lips.

"Hmmhmmm" I hear Damian cough.

I pull back resting my forehead on hers. Remembering we were not the only ones in the room.

"Sorry, I can't get enough of this woman."

We sit back down as mom finishes cutting the cake, and passes it around.

"It's okay son. After all these years I feel the same about your mom." He says as he grabs her ass as she walks by with the cake and laughs as she playfully smacks his shoulder.

"Not in front of the children, cara mia!"

"Please, they are all adults. They know what goes on with two consenting adults."

Damian rolls his eyes as he shakes his head. "Yes we know, but we would rather not see it."

We all laugh as Angelo grabs Lucia and pulls her into his lap, placing a kiss to her lips.

"Come on dad!" The room filled with laughter. I see Cas get up and go sit in Damian's lap.

"I think it's sweet that they are still like that. I hope we are still like that at their age."

"Don't worry. With you by my side, we always will be."

He hugs her tight as he kisses her neck. Just then Armani starts crying. Cas gets up to grab him.

"Little man must be hungry." Cas says.

"Little cockblocker."

"I heard that!" She says as she walks out of the room.

"You were meant to, my love."

"You guys are too funny. Glad I don't ever have to deal with that." Alex laughs.

"Aww, honey. You just haven't found the right one yet." Lucia cooes at Alex.

"Don't plan on it Ma. that life isn't for me. I like the freedom."

"Yes, but you have to worry about what you're sticking your dick in." I say.

"At least I have a variety."

"You're such a pig." Riley adds.

"You still love me though!" Alex laughs.

"Sometimes I wonder!" She snorts.

This is my family and I wouldn't change any of it. I would protect anyone of them with my life. Once everyone was done, we cleaned up the table and I dragged Alex into the kitchen to help do the dishes. He grumbles the whole way. Mom taught us that if one cooks the others clean and I have always followed that. We all head to the living room and spend the rest of the evening talking amongst each other. I soon feel Riley's head get heavier against my shoulder and a soft snore escapes her lips.

"Hey, Riley has fallen asleep. I am going to take her up to bed. Goodnight all."

"Goodnight Marc and congratulations again." Angelo says.

"Goodnight, son." Lucia adds.

"Night, see you in the morning."Damian calls out to me.

"Goodnight, take care of her." Cas yells.

"I always do." I pick her up and head upstairs to our room, closing the door with my foot. I softly lay her on the bed and go grab her pjs. She slightly wakes up as I undress her to put them on stopping for a second to kiss her bump.

"Goodnight my farfalla. Daddy loves you and I can't wait to meet you." Riley runs her fingers through my hair and I look up to see her smiling down at me.

"You are going to be such a good father."
"I'm scared to death about it."

"Don't worry. It will come naturally."

What if it doesn't?"

"It will. I have faith in you. You love her already and she is not here yet." She pulls me up and kisses my lips. I pull her into me as I deepen the kiss, our tongues dance together. I eventually pull back.

"I love you so much, wife."

"I love you more, husband."

"Let's get you to bed. You are exhausted."

"Your right."
