The Italian's Mistress

EPILOGUE

4 Years Later.

"Mommy!" Florence squealed as she ran into her mother's arms. 

Lilianna smiled brightly, picking up her sweet angel.

"Did you have fun today with auntie Valentina?" Lilianna asked her as she walked them into the house.

"Yes! Anthony was being bad as always and got in trouble, but not me mommy! I'm a good girl!" Florence said with her big brown eyes wide open.

Lilianna smiled and they entered the living room. They took a seat and Florence continued to talk of her day.

It was early afternoon and the sun was out, shining light into the living room as they both talked. Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by the monitor that sat on the coffee table.

Lilianna was going to get up, but someone beat her to it.

"I got it!" A voice called out and she heard footsteps on the second floor.

Florence immediately went back to talking about how bad Anthony, her older cousin was in trouble for spilling paint on the carpet floor.

"Seems like he quite the trouble maker, but you're not. Your daddy's good girl just like your baby sister." Oliver suddenly stated as he took a seat beside them.

Lilianna turned slightly and smiled at him as he held their newborn girl. They named her Aria after Lilianna's mother and looked a lot like Lilianna when she was a baby.

"Daddy! You're supposed to let her sleep!" Florence cried out and scolded her daddy for not obeying the doctors’ orders.

Aria was born premature and currently under a stage where they all had to have great caution with her and Maddalena was especially playing the protective big sister.

"Oh, but I just can't help myself. She's so adorable that I want to hold her forever." Oliver whined, hugging Aria closer.

Florence gasped as she stared up at him as tears formed in her eyes. Her lower lip trembled as she turned and ran.

"Oh, for God's sake. Oliver you know she gets jealous easily." Lilianna cursed, smacking him in the arm.

"I know, I'm sorry. Hold Aria while I get her." Oliver sighed and handed the baby over to her.

He kissed her temple before walking out the living room in search for his 4-year-old daughter.

Lilianna smiled down at baby Aria as she softly cooed at her. Never in her life would she imagine that she'd have kids of her own and married to such an amazing and loving man.

Just a few years ago she had no idea where her life was heading and what to do, but now she was exactly where she was meant to be.

After doing therapy and doctor visits with Oliver, Lilianna learned why she couldn't conceive and addressed the problem. Not long after Florence was conceived and Lilianna never cried so much in her life like then. Immediately after the news, Oliver packed them up and they moved permanently to Italy. After much thinking Lilianna even sold the café and of course moved her father to Italy.

Seriana, Dan, and the kids were living in London making twice a month visits to each other, making sure to stay in touch.

Nicoli, Amanda, and Carina remained in L.A. and expecting a baby boy though they did share parents’ hip of Carina. He would have her for a month and then Lilianna would also for a month.

Valentina and her husband Antonio had a baby boy about 6 years ago around the time Lilianna recovered from that near-death situation which lightened up the time for the better. They didn't love too far from them so Maddalena and Anthony could see each other on a regular basis. Oliver was the one that helped find their house because even he didn't want to admit it, he was extremely protective of his little sister and wanted to be closer.

For Stephano and Constantine, they were travelling a lot recently and would occasionally dropping by. At first, Stephano whined about their first kid not being a boy, but the minute Florence was born, he fell in love right away and has been sending presents non-stop and gushing over her.

Even though everyone lived rather far from each other, they all managed to get together for every holiday and spent time together as big family and like any family, they all had their ups and downs, but that's what made it even more special.

"Mommy! Are you sleeping?" Florence's voice snapped Lilianna out of her daze.

"Wouldn't dream of it, sweetie." Lilianna responded,

Florence smiled and gleefully licked her strawberry ice cream. Lilianna looked up at Oliver who simply shrugged and sat down.

"I had to bargain with her. She's learning far too much bad things from my father." Oliver sighed and shook his head.

Lilianna laughed and shook her head at his silliness.

"I love you both so much." Lilianna softly said, leaning down and kissed Aria's forehead.

"We love you too." Florence answered, leaning down as well and gave Aria a kiss as well, but left a print of strawberry ice cream behind.

They all laughed, and Oliver leaned down as well, placing a kiss.

"There is nothing in world that would make me change this life you've given me, wife of mine." Oliver said, staring at her and placed his hand over hers. Theirs marriage rings touching.

Lilianna leaned against Oliver and they listened to Florence sing to Aria.

"Thank you, Mom. I know you're protecting me from heaven. You've given me the best life I could ask for." Lilianna thought with a smile as she looked at her family that she got. 

THE END.
