Chapter 249 - Two Hundred Forty-nine.

She took out the reports from her bag that she had previously kept inside in the hospital and placed them in front of him. "The proof. I am pregnant." She said once again.

He blinked and stared at the reports then turned to look at her and slowly raised his hand to take them from her. He had them in his hands and checked them making Alexis wonder if he even knew what he was doing.

"Ho-how long?"

'Damn,' Alexis thought, 'he is shocked enough to stutter out his words.'

"Two months. Exactly." She took a seat at the coffee and kept her hand on his knee. "What's wrong?"

He pointed at the place the baby was sitting in before that was on their bed. "I don't understand why you brought Lucas here."

She sighed and leaned back taking the support of her hand. "To be honest Cassandra was not the mother I expected her to be even after having been given a nanny she was not taking care of a kid. I don't know why I don't know if it was my maternal instincts come into action but whatever it was, I felt that I could be a better mother to Lucas than her. Instead of hiding and keeping his secret, we can make him look like he was adopted into this family have him call you dad and me mum and no one would ever even suspect that he is a bastard child." She once again placed her hand on his knee because somehow this all seemed to be unbelievable. "What Matteo felt in front of the entire family of the knowledge that he wasn't really...I cannot even think or even imagine what kind of humiliation he must have been through. How immediately Marcus was disowned.." she sighed but a thought came to her mind, "I don't know Angelo.. but I want for him is to be a part of this family."

This was the first time that Alexis had ever realised that she had taken Angelo's family as her own. She had accepted him, his flaws and his faults because she was into this Life away too long and it was inevitable.

"You do?" He asked sceptically and she understood why. 

"Yes," she nodded sincerely. The child was innocent. 

He stared at her hard observing her body language and reactions before saying, "but he is my child with someone else. How are you ever going to take him in as your own?"

She laughed a little at that. It was going to be an year to their marriage but Angelo underestimated her. "It doesn't matter to me that you had sex with someone and popped out a child. Lucas has no-fault and part in this. He is your child, yes you will love him like one but for me, I will treat him as I will treat every child. With love and care and for his sake and mine, I hope that I would grow to love him in the future."

He stared at her unblinking, looking at her up and down trying to figure out and catch her lies but found nothing of sought. "You are...going to?" He whispered in amazement.

She scoffed. "I might look like a bitch but that is someone who is taking a stand for herself. I am a human being at heart and I am not a heartless person especially to a child."

He sighed and pulled her into his lap. "Children are a big responsibility Alexis especially the one that you're trying to adopt. He is not your baby and since we are going to have a baby of her own. How are you going to manage to give your attention to both of them equally?"

She smiled and laid her head against his chest. "I cannot promise you that honestly. Lucas nevertheless is a grown boy and a nanny can handle him but the one that is going to be born is going to need more of my attention. So, I guess I can just say that I will try my level best."

"Alexis.." he shook his head, "are you sure?"

"Yes," she nodded. He nodded back and then palmed her stomach.

"Cassidy had shown up at my doorstep directly with Lucas and I could not be there when she was pregnant. I want to be there for this one." He smiled, "I am so happy." He kissed her forehead with a huge ass smile making her creep out a bit. "You do know what this pregnancy means right?"

"What?" She asked with a slight frown on her forehead. Was it not obvious what it meant?

He chuckled, his eyes still glowing from the news. Both of them. "this means that you cannot ever try to get away from me because I won't let you."

"Angelo, you don't let me do it now, so how does pregnancy matter?" She spoke about the fact that had been happening. Angelo did not let her out of his sight without any guard so how does it matter if she was now pregnant with his baby?

He chuckled and kissed her forehead. "You're so cute to think that. This means that you are now the mother of my child and that links you more to me than ever. I am never going to let the mother of my child go, especially the one I have fallen in love with." He smiled. "You, baby, are going to stay right here always."

It did not seem like a love concession rather like a threat or a warning for the future. His eyes held happiness yet somehow due to his profession and line of business he had made a threat towards her without even realising it.

For the person who had received it, it was obvious that he was threatening them.

He got up and pulled her gently to the closet to which she followed without a word, curious to where he was leading her. 

He opened the drawers where he often kept some papers and took out something. "What's this?" He handed them to her.

She recognised them almost immediately.. It was their prenup agreement.
