Chapter 203 - Mrs Vitello, Welcome Home

It was almost evening when Santiago and Persephone's flight landed in the capital city of Maisean empire. She was feeling giddy as soon as her feet touched the ground. 

"Behave,"Santiago gave her a look when a grown up pregnant woman was practically bouncing in the air. 

"I can see the ocean from here,"She grinned as she pointed at the view out of the car window. 

Santiago smiled and ruffled her hair,"Yes, you can see the ocean right from here." 

"I have a very good feeling about this trip, Santiago,"Persephone suddenly said. She felt a flutter in her stomach and gasped in disbelief looking at Santiago. Taking his hand, she placed it on her protruded belly and yelled,"Look. Look. Your Rockstar is agreeing with me too. Seems like he/she loves his homeland too." 

Santiago didn't say anything but his lips stretched to form a wide smile as he heard her words. He pulled her gently and his arms and put her head on his chest. 

Fuck the future. Who wants to think about their future when he could enjoy this beautiful present? 

No one knew what their future had to offer. If they would stay together or separate. It's all about the future. He didn't want to sadden his heart by dwelling on it. 

"I wonder when we will know the gender of the baby?"Persephone sighed out. 

Actually, they tried ultrasound three times in the course of two whole weeks to know the gender of their baby but each time, the little guy would be showing its butt . Apparently, the little guy was troubling it's mom and dad. 

"Valencia said it's most likely to be a boy,"Santiago said suddenly. Actually, he believed that it would be fine if they had a boy. Not that he would love his daughter any less. But he didn't know anything about raising a daughter. Boy, he could handle it. If the little man troubled his mom, he would just spank his butt. 

But a girl? 

He would be in bigger trouble if he had a girl. 

For example, Emy. She was spoiled rotten by Killian. He would give her everything, she put her hands on.

Atleast, Killian knew a thing or two. But he? He didn't even know how to pick her. He was afraid that he would pick the delicate girl. 

"Boy is good,"Persephone murmured looking out of the window. "A little baby boy with dark hair and blue eyes. I think I quite like this idea. Junior will get a brother to play with." 

Persephone used Junior to address little Santiago. 

"He could be a ginger baby with green or blue eyes,"Santiago said. 

"No, I don't want a mini Ed Sheeran,"Persephone refused. 

Santiago sighed. "Percy, we can't get a customized baby. Green eyes, blue eyes or brown eyes. Red or black hair. We will love him equally." 

"You are right,"Persephone nodded. "Parents are supposed to love their child despite all the conditions."

After a while, he heard her say,"But I really wanted a baby boy with blue eyes and dark hair." 

He looked at her giving puppy eyes and a pout forming on her lips. 

He suddenly sympathizes with his baby boy. 'Son, you don't have a very reliable mom.'

… 

When the car stopped, Persephone was stunned to see a magnificent ranch style house in the middle of other Mediterranean style houses. This house seemed like an anomaly in this area but it was a magnificent anomaly. 

It wasn't a very huge house. But it was enough for a family to live. A family of five could comfortably live inside the house. 

This house wasn't like other houses in this neighborhood. Among the Mediterranean and other styled houses, there were only these ranch style houses. In all honesty, this type of house was only famous in the Capital city. 

"This is so beautiful," Persephone turned to look at him and then at the house in awe. She was struck by the beauty of this place. If this country was a piece of heaven, then this house was a fairy's abode in heaven. " Your house is so beautiful."

Santiago shook his head. "This is not mine."

"You rented it?" She asked him, quite curiously. 

He shook his head as if saying no.

"Then?" She looked at him in confusion. She wondered whose beautiful house was this. 

"This is yours," Santiago wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her gently into his embrace. "A gift to you and the baby."

Persephone was stunned. She didn't know what to say. She was expecting this huge piece of news. Just last night, he asked her to come with him and today, he was already gifting her a whole house? 

Who was this man? And what had he done to her Villain? 

The sky was dark and the whole house was lit by lights. She took a step to enter the threshold but her feet slipped and she was about to fall when Santiago's arms wrapped around her and eventually carried her in the legendary princess style. 

"Why are you so clumsy?" He couldn't help but ask her. 

"I'm tired," She acted spoiled and circled her arms around his neck. "I have been up all day and night. You can't expect me to be full of vitality. I'm about to crash now." 

Before Santaigo could reply, a middle aged woman appeared, dressed in a conservative knee length sky blue colored dress. Her hair was put in a tight bun, not even a tendril was out. Her posture suggested that she was a strict woman but when she smiled, her delicate features gave off a very warm feeling. 

"Mr Vitello, welcome home." The middle aged woman greeted Santiago with a genuine smile not that of the polite smile that one gave to their employers. She then looked at Persephone in Santiago's arm and a look of surprise appeared on her face when her gaze fell on the visible baby bump. The look of surprise was replaced with a motherly smile as she greeted her.. "Mrs Vitello, welcome home."
