“You don’t get to ‘do what has to be done’ in our world, motherfucker.” Dmitry’s gaze locked onto Gio, and I knew that, although he was family, my brothers didn’t let anyone who went against them live.
I knew what would happen, and I only had a split second to make my decision to change the course of this.
“You might have saved our sister,” Nikolai said quietly, but there was acid in his voice because he was no doubt thinking and remembering how he’d just found us, “but you can’t undo what you’ve done. You know how we alone handle who fucks with us.”
In a moment of desperate clarity, I did what I had to do—just like Gio. “I’m pregnant.”
Those two words made everything freeze.
Long seconds of silence passed.
None of them even blinking as they just stared at me.
All three of them.
Nikolai was the first one to speak.
“What?” My brother’s voice was hoarse and laced with disbelief.
I looked between the three of them before settling on Gio. “I’m pregnant,” I whispered. I didn't need to say by who for them to know the truth.
I couldn't read Gio’s expression. He kept that emotionless void in place, but the longer we stared at each other, the more I saw something…awakenin his eyes.
“You’re pregnant?” he prompted, low and deep. His voice was barely audible over the pounding of my heart that filled my ears.
I nodded, tears blurring myvision. At that moment, we were the only two people in the shower room.“Yes,” I whispered back. “I’m pregnant.”
“What in the actual fuck?” Nikolai muttered and huffed.
“Un-fucking-believable,” Dmitry said, and I looked over to see my brothers still staring at me with shock.
The anger between the three of them was momentarily over, replaced by the weight of my revelation.
And then Gio moved toward me until he was close enough to touch. He reached out and gently placed his oversized hand on my stomach.
“? ? ?????, ??? ??? ? ? ????? ???????????.”And I thought I was the crazy one in the family.
I wanted to laugh at Nikolai’s words, but I was locked in this overwhelming moment with the man I loved.
“My baby,” Gio said, quietly enough I knew I was the only one to hear.
“Yes.” I smiled, placing my hand over his. “I am,” I quipped and saw his lips twitch in amusement.
Gio’s eyes shone with a fierce determination. “’Bout fucking time,baby.”
I felt my eyes widen and snapped my headtoward my brothers, who looked thoroughly disgusted.
“Well, shit, we can’t fucking kill him now,” Dmitry grumbled.
“I mean… wecan.” Nikolai shrugged.
“You cantry, motherfuckers,” Gio inserted, but he wasn’t looking at them. He seemed transfixed by the sight of my much smaller hand covering his.
“You’re mine, Tatiana.”
I smiled, holding back my tears. This certainly wasn’t how I wanted to or planned on telling Gio, but things didn’t always work out how we saw them in our heads.
“I know this is far from over,” Gio said, addressing my brothers. “But right now, I want to be with my girl. So, respectfully, get the fuck out.”
