A week was how long we had spent in Barbados, seven days to be exact in the Caribbean. It was mom, Lucas and I although Lucas only spent four days with us there before flying back to the States because as you know 'duty calls'.

I had the opportunity to meet my other relatives on mom's side over there and mom got to be reunited with other family which was a whole other story. I only just realized what a large family we had. I remember days back then when Mom was the family I knew and then now, all that just changed. I didn't know if it was because we were all meeting for the first time but everyone just seemed extremely nice and welcoming. They had this huge family get together and dinner. And then there was the whole gushing over Lucas and how cute he was.

Sanya wouldn't get off my back about how she knew Lucas and I were a thing when she visited us in America and how much of a liar I was denying the facts. It was actually quite hilarious. They had also somehow managed to humble Lucas 100% it was hard to believe that he was actually a very serious and ruthless mafia underboss. I have to admit that Lucas really knew how to play along with everyone. I was surprised to see him actually socializing and interacting with my family especially uncle Marten- they seemed to get along extremely well for the time he was there. Of course when Lucas had to leave, they were all disappointed that he couldn't stay longer and it was even worst when we had to leave. I finally understood what people meant when they always say that Caribbean people were some of the nicest abd friendliest people you'll ever come across.

I was only back for a couple of days before I was summoned once again to meet another set of family- the paternal side. I guess my father Marcos had caught his jealous when I flew out to Barbados to visit my mother's side of the family. He had me meeting those who were on his side of family. His side of family was actually much smaller than my mother's side. He only had two aunts, three uncles, a granduncle, and some cousins, and that was from both sides of his family. His parents and most of his family was no longer alive or known, but those whom I have met, they too were sweet to me including his wife which was surprisingly nice as well. I didn't think she'd like me or even pretend to be nice to me- if that's even what she was doing- considering I was the product and reminder of her husband's infidelity.

When I had informed them of my pregnancy, Marcos said he wasn't shocked hearing this news now since I had actually admitted to sleeping with Lucas but what he was surprised about was the fact that it even happened, and so soon. He said he always knew Lucas to be an extremely careful person so he was confused how the hell it happened. That was still a mystery even to me. I just guess that no protection or contraceptives were a hundred percent guaranteed safe.

Carter now on the other hand found the situation extremely funny, Adena was in love with Lucas, but Lucas was into me and then I got pregnant for him- the guy my sister had been pining over for years. He found it quite amusing, I had to tell him to quit it. Adena and I were surprisingly finally getting along well, I didn't want him to spoil it by stating those facts.

Katie and Nora were the ones who were shocked when I revealed to them that I was pregnant. I guess they were stunned that the guy who had rescued my butt from multiple near death experiences and even threatened me on many occasions, he and I were now together and not only that but we were expecting a baby.

Lexi and I also got to talk and she told me that she had suspected that I was actually pregnant that day when I called her to hang out. I had no idea I was that obvious. Since she was more months pregnant than I was and already experienced and were experiencing some of the things I was yet to experience as a pregnant woman, hanging out with her from time to time made things so much easier for me. I got to learn from her each time.

************************************** Lucas and I were having a date night. I had no idea what he had planned for us or where we were going but I was pumped for it. We hadn't gotten much chance to go on many dates since we've been together officially and overall, I was just so excited to get to spend some quality alone time with Lucas. I didn't really care much about where he was taking me as long as we were together.

"So are we almost there? I don't mean to sound impatient or anything since we haven't been driving long but one side of my butt cheek is starting to feel... dead." I chuckled looking over at Lucas.

"Relax, we'll be there soon." Lucas smiled taking one of my hand and putting it to his lips. "Just a few more minutes okay?"

"Okay." I smiled as he kissed the back of my hand while driving.

Not long after, we were pulling through a large set of automatic security gates up into the driveway of one of those breathtaking modern houses.



"This is where you're taking me?" I asked as Lucas parked the car and we both got out.

"Yeah, this is it." Lucas smiled as he came to join me as I admired the house.

It's a pity that it was dark and I couldn't get to fully see it as well as I would have like but from what I could see from the lights that were on, the house was really beautiful.

"This is really nice." I said to him as he led me towards the house. "Whose house is this?"

"Ours." Lucas replied casually as he opened the door.

"What?" I asked shock as I stopped walking mid entrance.

"Surprise." Lucas smiled at my stunned expression. "This house is ours- yours and mine."

"Oh my God. I can't believe this." I said to him looking around the area we had stopped. "But about the apartment?"

"We can still keep it if you want but the apartment is not really ideal for when the baby comes. It's not exactly ideal for a family." Lucas responded. "This house is more suited for a family. So what do you think so far?"

"It's beautiful. Lucas I can't believe this. When did you buy a house?"

"A short while ago but I'll give you a tour later. Right now let's go have dinner." Lucas responded.

Lucas led me through the house and out the patio and the only thing I could think and say was wow. Especially when I noticed a jacuzzi pool outside the patio.



"I had caterers over to bring us something to eat." Lucas said to me. "I know you prefer simpler things so I got pizza and lasagna but if you don't want that there is..."

"Pizza sounds great." I told him.

"Great and I had them bring nonalcoholic champagne for you as well."

"That's amazing Lucas. Thanks." I smiled before kissing him on the lips.

"So what do you want to do? Eat first then take a dip in the jacuzzi or both?" Lucas asked.

"Is it safe for me to be in the jacuzzi? I've always heard that the heat can cause issues for pregnant women."

"Don't worry, I had the tub reprogram to a lower temperature so it's basically Luke warm water in there." Lucas said to me. "I've thought about this beforehand."

"You've always thought about everything huh?" I smiled at him. "But there's one thing you probably hadn't thought about, I don't have a swimsuit."

"Neither do I. You don't need a swimsuit. We're now in the privacy of our own home. We don't even need any type of suit at all." Lucas said to me as he started undressing me.

"So what? We're just supposed to lounge about naked then?" I asked raising my arms so he could lift my top off.

"So what? We were born naked weren't we? Haven't you ever gone skinny dipping?"

"No. And what about the caterers you said you had over?" I asked him.

"They're gone now. They weren't hanging around much longer." Lucas said to me.

"I don't care, I'll stay in my bra and underwear. I'm not exposing myself to the night environment." I said to him.

After Lucas and I were both in our underwear, he helped me into the tub as we both started relaxing. The water wasn't hot as Lucas had said, it was actually warm and nice.

"I think you should've gotten pineapples on the pizza that would make it more perfect." I said to him as he fed me a slice of pizza.

"Please tell me that's crazy baby hormones telling you that." Lucas said.

"What? Pineapples on pizza taste great." I said to him.

"You're crazy. Pineapples on pizza is a disgrace." Lucas said to me. "Whoever came up with that idea should be sued."

"Seriously? Now you're the crazy one" I chuckled.

"You know you love this craziness." Lucas said to me.

"You're right." I smiled at him before throwing my arms around his neck. "I do."

I smiled at him before placing my lips on his .
