Syracuse, Sicily 

             Christiana and Xavier laid asleep on the bed in each other's arms. Someone knocked on the door.

Jamie: Signore(Sir), the breakfast is ready. 

            Xavier and christiana woke up from their slumber. Xavier placed a kiss on her forehead. 

Xavier: Good morning, darling. 

Christiana: Good morning, baby. 

Xavier : Come on now let's get ready and leave for Palermo. Luca might be waiting for me. 

Christiana: Hm...mm. 

           Christiana sat up on the bed and stretched her muscles. 

Christiana: Damn, my muscles are sore. It hurts, Xavier. 

Xavier: Come on baby, let's give you a soothing bath. 

Christiana: I don't think I can walk. 

Xavier: Who said you have to walk? 

             Xavier went to her side of the bed and picked her up in his arms. Christiana giggled. 

Xavier: Damn baby, you look ravishing, I want to eat you up again. 

Christiana: I am too sore now Xavier, maybe later. 

Xavier: I will hold you to that. 

           He carried her to the bathroom and they took a bath together. After their bath,they went down to have breakfast. 

Grace: Good morning Signore,signora(sir,madam). 

Xavier: Grace, I have told you, you can call me by my name. 

Grace: But ,sir....

Christiana: Yeah, I would also prefer you call me by my name. 

Grace: Okay mada.. christiana. 

            They went and sat at the dining table. Jamie was standing at the corner while they sat on the table. 

Christiana: Jamie, you can join us. 

           Jamie looked at Xavier and he nodded. And he sat down at the table. 

Grace: So, how was your night? 

Jamie: Grace, you know it was great, everyone could hear them. For further notice grace, if you are giving a room to a man and woman, give them the soundproof one. 

          Christiana blushed and looked down. Xavier cleared his throat. 

Jamie: Sorry sir. 

Xavier: Let's start eating. 

           They ate their breakfast and got ready to leave. Their work here was done and now it was time to take care of other things. 

Xavier: Grace, we will be taking our leave then. 

Grace: It was a pleasure to have you here as always Xavier.Hope that their was no inconvenience from our side. It was nice to meet you, christiana. 

           And then they left for Palermo. 

After two weeks:

On the private island

            Nora and eva had started training. After convincing her husbands for a week, they had allowed her only that they will train and it will not be something rigorous as it might harm the baby. Only some basic fighting tactics. 

           So,they were on the beach now. Eva was being trained by Joseph while nora was practicing with shawn. After training for half an hour, ron came running towards nora with a water bottle in his hand. He did that every half an hour to make sure she stays hydrated. James made sure that she doesn't out do herself while Daniel made sure that they trained their best to an extent. 

             Nora had her mood swings every hour. But it was easy to deal with them by her side. And in this two weeks, eva and nora had gotten a lot closer. Eva helped nora with everything when the guys were busy with something. Noralei had come down with cold and had decided to stay as far away from nora as possible so she doesn't get affected. Still, she had made sure that her princess gets everything she needs. She had told the brothers how to deal with pregnant women. And the extent the mood swings go to. And to give her massages for her to deal with the muscle strains. She was not happy with nora's idea of training in this condition, but nora managed to convince her too. 

Daniel: That's enough training for today for you sweetie, let's go now. 

Nora: But I can still train some more. 

James: Baby..

Nora: Ugh, fine. 

Joseph: You guys go, we will come back when eva finishes her training. 

Eva: Brother, I am tired. We have been training for two hours straight. 

Joseph: Eva, there is one more left for you. Now,come on give me a hard punch. 

            Eva launched a punch at Joseph with all her might, but Joseph was able to dodge the punch in time and so she missed and lost her balance and fell. She got back into her position in no time. 

Joseph: Come on,little sis, you can do better that you have been training for years now. 

Eva: You are better than me because you were trained to be a capo. I can fight any other man easily. 

Joseph: We don't know who you might come face to face with, so you have to learn to fight anyone off. Now come on, no excuses. 

           As Joseph finished speaking, eva changed her stance showing that she was going to punch with her left hand now. Joseph studied her posture and got ready to easily dodge her. She put her left hand forward and moved to right to dodge the punch and eva used her right leg to kick him off balance and he fell on the ground.

Joseph: Good, that's what I was talking about. Come on, keep going. 

           Nora sat in the jeep with Daniel and james beside her while ron and shawn in the front with shawn on the driving seat. 

Nora: Wait guys. 

Shawn: What, babygirl? 

Nora: I think I see a ship or something approaching us. 

          Ron got out the binoculars from the cabinet and watched the direction nora was pointing at. There was indeed a ship approaching them. 

Ron: Guys, I see the ship and they are coming in our direction. 

Daniel: JOSEPH... 

           Joseph and eva came running towards the jeep. 

Shawn: I think they found us. 

Joseph: Okay guys, I see there is only one ship, we can take them. Elijah, get all the men here. 

           Joseph said through the earpiece they wear at all times.
