"She's avoiding me!"
Dante chuckled at Dario's outburst. It's been a week since Dario and Noah left for Italy and now due to his wife's request they had come to Italy to see them.
Dario snorted. "It's not funny, dude. I've asked her out to dinner four times this week and she turned them down with silly excuses."
"If she's avoiding you then she has every reason to do so," Dante shrugged.
"Yeah. You ignored her when she was interested in you so what makes you think she still wants you?" Natalie asked.
Dario groaned. "You are both taking this the wrong way. I only want to discuss business with her and nothing else."
Natalie chuckled and nodded. "Sure. We hear you loud and clear."
Dario shrugged. "I don't know what you're thinking but it's not that."
"Relax, dude. Let's go for a swim or something so you can cool off," Dante suggested.
"Yeah, it's one week to a new year, and I dunno about you but I'm ready to relax," Natalie sighed so

"It's just me.""Oh, I thought you were out with Natalie and Chloe," Dario said."Natalie and Chloe aren't at home?" He asked surprised.Dario shook his head. "They left a note that they went out for a girls' outing but I figured since it was late they would have been with you.""Have you tried calling them?"

"We've spent ten years together but it feels like ten days because with you time pass so slowly. Most times, when I look into your eyes the world comes to a standstill and nothing else matters."Natalie wiped the tears trickling down her cheeks as she listened to the speech.

"We're family too right? Wait let's join in the cake cutting."The silvery voice of the woman smirking and still standing at the doorway jolted her to her senses."What...who...how?"

They can't even invite me in," the woman groaned.Natalie couldn't move as she stood rooted to a spot. She had no idea what was going on or who had invited this woman."Don't take another step into this house!"Natalie gasped as Noah stepped out of the crowd and stood before the woman."Dear Noah, you've grown into a man," the woman chuckled."What are you doing here, Sophie?

Natalie stared at Dante's sweaty palms and her heartbeat accelerated. He was never going to tell her the truth about how nervous he was.But why would he even think about lying to her when it was Sophie's fault?"Dante?" She prompted giving him a pleading look, "I need the truth, please."He nodded and wiped his sweaty palms on his trousers."When did you find out she was pregnant?" She asked again."I was at home that day when she called me early in the morning threatening to tell you about her pregnancy if I didn't come to see her," he began avoiding her eyes.Natalie frowned.
