Nine months later...
Alessandro's POV
I'm driving through traffic like a mad man, barely missing cars and as I zoom through the highway. I need to get to the hospital. Shit... I should've been there an hour ago. Zoe's going to kill me and I preferred she do it after the birth of my twin boys. I'd at least like to give them the chance of meeting me even if I am a dead man walking. Yes, that's right guys, I Alessandro Russo, knocked Zoe Henningson the fuck up.

"Super sperm, I fucking swear to the Gods you have super sperm" She angrily came storming through the door of my office.
"Cara Mia?" I looked at her with confusion.
I stood up from my desk, and walked over to the door and closed it. She spun around and threw something at me, it bounced off my chest and landed on the ground. I looked at her with an arched brow. She's lost her damn mind, surely. I thought to myself.
"Pick it up." She demanded.
I bent down and picked up the small plastic casing, I turned it over and looked at her.
"What am I looking at?" I held it up.
"That." She hisses. "Is proof that you're not human" She folds her arms and starts tapping her foot filled with annoyance.
I take another look at the piece of plastic, trying to figure out how to read it.
"I was on the pill!" she threw her hands up. "The fucking pill and you still managed to get me PREGNANT!"
My head snapped up and I couldn't prevent the biggest grin that flashed across my face.
"And ofcourse you're boasting about it." Her hand rested on her head, her bottom lip began to tremble and she turned from me.
I quickly walked over to her and stood in front of her.
"I'm gonna be a papa?" I found it hard to contain the excitement out of my voice.
"Yes." She started to sob.
I pulled her in against my chest, combing my fingers through her hair.
"You're not happy?" A sick feeling started to creep up my back.
"I'm scared." She said. "I'm scared I'll lose them."
"Them?" I said shocked.
"Yes, them as in two." She looked up with worried eyes.
"You're a strong woman Zoe, I have complete faith in you." I kissed her on the head.
"What the fuck am I gonna do with a house full of Russo men?" She chuckled.
"Keep us in line?" I winked at her.
"I can barely keep you in line Andro." She sighed.
"Then I'll just have to give you some Russo woman to help keep us in line." I smiled, shrugging my shoulder.
"And if you give me more men instead?" She sniffed.
"Then we'll keep trying till we're successful."

I zoom in the hospital carpark and throw it in park. Jumping out, I slam the door and lock it as I run through the double doors.
"Zoe Henningson?" I ask the receptionist.
Gods that sounded awful leaving my mouth.
"I want Henningson removed from the paperwork. Replace it with Russo." I tell her.
She cocks her brow up and titters.
"That's not how we do things around here Mr." She looks over the file. "Alessandro Russo."
"She will be a Russo the next time she's here, " I say frustrated.
"Next time aye?" She giggles.
"Si, and the time after that, and the time after that, and the time.."
"I get the picture, Mr Russo." She fans her face with Zoe's file. "I'll add Russo, but it won't be legal." She scribbles along the front of the file.
"Now.. Zoe Russo is in Room 23."
I take off down the corridor and barge through the doors.
There I'm met with the most beautiful sight I have ever laid eyes on. Zoe's sitting upright with our sons in her arms. I walk over to her, admiring the three of them.
A sudden pain radiates off the back of my head.
"You missed it!" Gia Snaps.
I turn around to face my niece, who once was known as Rosa.
"I tried to get here as fast as I could." I rub my head.
"You didn't try hard enough Uncle." She grounds out.
A giggle comes from Zoe. I turn to face her.
"I'm sorry il mio amore - My love"
My eyes are heavy on hers.
"I forgive you Andro." She smiles while looking at our sons. "Just don't make it a habit." She says softly.
"I promise." I pledge to her.
"I promise to always be here when you need me." I silently say to myself.
THE END
