Her brother Lucca is eight now and still has to stand on a stool to help, but he won't need it for much longer. I can't believe how grown up both of them are. I still remember the pair of them getting so excited when we told them about the twins. He's still so protective over them, even though they're not the youngest any more.
Dana has little Giotto in a carrier on her chest, and I couldn't be more in love with this woman who has given me the family I never thought I'd have. She's more beautiful to me every day, though I know she doesn't always feel it.
I sidle up behind her, slipping my arms around her waist and she looks up at me with a smile, leaning back against my broad chest.
"Something smells good in here."
"There's nothing cooking yet."
"Oh really? I could have sworn I put a bun in your oven earlier."
Dana gives me a playful swipe and I catch her rolling her eyes at me just before I nibble a string of kisses along her neck. "You want more children? I'm not a frumpy enough mom for you already?"
"You're the hottest mama I've ever known. And you always will be, because you're mine. I want as many as we can have, because all of them are just as perfect as you."
I know she loves it when I talk low and serious in her ear, but it still gives me a thrill when she turns around enough to press a hungry kiss fiercely to my lips like she needs to claim me as much as I always need to claim her. After all this time the spark between us hasn't dwindled and it never will do.
Dana's Dad walks in holding the girls hands. They're just starting to get confident walking on their own and it's great to see him spending time with them instead of jetting off all over the place taking tours. Retirement suits him, and I'm glad he's choosing a more overseeing role so that he can help out with the girls in the Italian sun, with Dana, instead of running himself ragged and making strangers out of them. For the first time, he's got his priorities right.
As for me, I have no intention of stopping work. Everything I do, I do for my family and every moment I get to spend with them is a blessing, but I always make sure I have enough time. All the money in the world wouldn't mean a thing if it kept me away from them.
"Easy you two. The table's all laid out outside. We did a good job, didn't we Paola? Gia picked the prettiest flowers."
Dana relaxes back against me, and I know she's smiling. Nothing makes her happier than having all of her family around her, and when her Dad's here too, it reminds us both how close we came to not having his approval at all. We're one big family now and nothing could tear us apart. That's what Dana always wanted, and the way it was always supposed to be. I could never have dreamed of anything better than sharing our life together here. Florence was only the start, but what a perfect start.
We just needed a bit of translation way back then to make sure we were all on the same page. Dana is my American wife and I am her Italian husband, but when it comes to the language of love, we're speaking exactly the same language, just like we're supposed to.
