should be ready by your wedding day.” Gio said.
    “That’s great thanks Gio.”
    “Don’t mention it bro.” Gio replied as they moved aside for the servers to set the table. “So how was the flight you guys? I take it there was no problems.”
    Gabriele was the one to answer Gio’s question. “The flight was good, the pilot was a pain in the ass but other than that everything was fine, I just wish the airport wasn’t over an hour away. With all this construction going on maybe you should add a runway that would be a great idea for your VIP guests.”
    “That’s a good idea if this Inn had its own private runway that would attract some high profile guests which would increase the profitability of the business tremendously.” Luciano added.
    “They’ll be no business talk tonight this is a dinner for my family and Gigi’s family to meet and get to know each other. So all business talk is on hold until tomorrow, is that clear you two?” Pierce addressed his question to Gabe and Luc.
    “Fine no business talk tonight but if Gabe calls me a pain in ass one more time, they’ll be one less Fabrizio to split the inheritance with.” Luc said narrowing his gaze at Gabe.
    Gabe laughed. “If anybody’s going to come up missing it’ll be you little brother, haven’t you heard of the saying last born, first gone.”
    “What? That’s not true who come up with that?” Luc asked sounding a bit irritated.
    “I did now zip it kid.” Gabe replied.
    “Cool it you two the last thing I need is for Gigi to see you guys acting stupid.” Pierce said.
    “Now Pierce you know they aren’t acting.” Gio commented teasingly, which had them all laughing.
     
    They were still laughing when Gigi entered the dining room smiling. Pierce stopped laughing as his mouth dropped open at the sight of her. She looked stunning in her blue ankle length dress and silver accessories. She’d left her dark brown hair down, letting the long wavy strands frame her gorgeous face. She was wearing just a light touch of makeup which she really didn’t need because she possessed a natural beauty allowing her light maple complexion to glow.
    Pierce stood transfixed never taking his eyes from her as she walked slowly towards him. When she was standing in front of him she reached up to slip her arms around his neck and he lowered his head to meet her kiss. As he kissed her he put his arms around her waist resting his hands on her lower back pulling her as close as her protruding stomach would allow.
    Her scent flooded his senses Pierce had gotten use to her delightful smell since moving in with her this past week. He’d discovered that she liked to use cocoa and shea butter on her skin making it soft and fragrant. He loved that smell actually there was a lot of things about her he loved. If he wasn’t careful he’d be falling in love with the mother of his baby.
    They reluctantly ended the kiss but continued to gaze at each other smiling as they tuned out everything but the two of them.
    “Hello sunshine.” Gigi whispered staring up into his grey eyes.
    “Hello Caro. You look stunning.” Pierce whispered staring back at her.
    “Thank you.” Gigi replied.
    A chorus of throats being cleared sounded out behind them causing her to ease herself out of his arms. Pierce sighed loudly as Gigi lean over and peeked around him smiling at the men standing there.
    “Hello.” She said waving at them. They waved back grinning at her.
    “Hi Gigi, how are you tonight?” Gio asked.
    “I’m good thank you.” Gigi said as she gazed at all three men.
    Pierce turned around to face them after giving his body a chance to settle down she always had a powerful affect on him and if it was this bad and she was pregnant he knew it would only get stronger after the baby was born.
    “Guys this is Egypt Landry the mother of my baby and my soon to be wife.” Pierce said introducing her to his brothers. “Gigi these are my younger brothers Gabriele and Luciano
