“Good girl.” He whispers, leaning forward to kiss my forehead. “Let us take care of you, Angel.”
“Wait,” I say, chewing on my lip. “I need to talk to you. To both of you.” I make a point of looking them both in their eyes. I don’t want to lose the confidence I’ve built in this moment.
“It can wait, Angel,” Nico says, stroking my hair. “You don’t have to relive everything today.”
“No.” I protest, “I need to.”
“Christina, what is it?” Enzo asks, nuzzling my neck.
“We'd go to any lengths for you,” Nico whispers softly, his touch tender as he gently holds my face in his hands, his warm breath mingling with mine. “Don’t feel responsible for what’s happened.”
Feeling their protective presence surrounding me like a shield fills me with a surge of gratitude. They came for me without hesitation. The realization hits me like a tidal wave, causing my breath to catch in my throat.
I nod my head, grateful for what he’s said.
“This isn’t easy for me to say.” I look between the two.
“Christina, what’s wrong?” Nico's worry is evident as he enfolds me in a comforting embrace.
I need to just do it. Like ripping off a band-aid. Just… say the words.
“I... I'm pregnant,” I blurt out.
Their arms tighten around me, but they don’t say anything.
After a long moment, I look up at them.
“You’re not mad?” I cautiously inquire.
“Mad?” Enzo chuckles softly. “How could we ever be mad at you?”
“We're thrilled,” Nico adds quickly. “You've made us a family.”
“But... I don’t know whose child it is.”
“Christina,” Nico reassures me with a gentle kiss on my forehead. “I told you already. It doesn't matter whose it is. It's ours now. And we'll love this baby together.”
"But… am I enough? For both of you?" Insecurities bubble up as doubt clouds my thoughts.
Nico's gaze sharpens while Enzo's expression darkens slightly at the unexpected question.
“What do you mean, are you enough?” Nico questions softly, his touch gentle yet commanding. “Who told you that you wouldn’t be enough for us?”
“I just…”
Enzo enfolds me in his embrace from behind and plants a tender kiss on my forehead.
Nico lifts my chin with firm fingers, locking eyes with mine intensely.
“You are our Queen, Christina. Always.” His lips meet mine in a claiming kiss that I feel all the way down to my toes.
“Who are you?” Enzo asks, stroking my cheek.
“I’m your Queen,” I say softly.
“For eternity,” Nico corrects gently but firmly.
“Longer, if we can manage it,” Enzo laughs, kissing me.
