Chapter 272 - Fireworks

Keira was busy humming while playing her guitar in the beautiful garden of the villa. She's currently with her husband's father who was listening to the song that she and the girls composed last night. He helped her with revising a few more lyrics. 

"Amazingly, there's no need to do a lot of editing," Alex commented. "Why is it very sexy?" He asked. 

Keira laughed when she remembered last night. She doesn't want to tell him or spill the beans from last night's party. 

"Hey, love." Alessandro approached her as he put his phone on the table next to her phone. He sat at the edge of the lounge chair. "I somehow heard sexy words from your lyrics. Sing it again.." 

She laughed and shook her head. 

"Not a chance, my love. This is private." 

"What? You are singing it to dad~~" 

"Correction. He is helping me put more figures in the song because he's a veteran." Keira corrected him. 

Alex shook his head. He knew that their conversation would become sexual. He heard them many times and he wasn't surprised if the two make out a lot when they were younger. If they aren't married, Henry might already toss his son away for a long time. But, Henry was too busy back then that he failed to catch the two many times, but Alex did see them kissing passionately when they were young and he quickly turned back and later scolded his son. 

"I will sing it for you later, before bed," Keira told Alessandro flirtatiously like there wasn't anyone around. 

"Really?" Alessandro held her ankle and Alex stood quickly and walked away. He stopped when Henry met him. 

"I feel like beating up your son every time I see him flirting with my daughter." 

"They are married, Henry." 

"They are. Because your son stole my princess away from our family." 

Alex could only laugh nervously because he knew well how protective Henry was to his daughter. 

"Brother, they already are together." He patted Henry. "I think it's quite too late to separate them." He grinned. 

"I still don't like it," Henry said.

"Hey, they are together now. Don't be such a killjoy." Alex laughed. "Let's leave them together." He turned to Keira and Alessandro who are now cuddling each other and whispering. 

Alessandro kissed his wife's cheeks as he stealthily pressed his lips to her neck while she's playing the guitar and singing a song to him softly. 

"Baby, I could be your darling… just tell me those three words and I'll be yours… ohh, I'll be yours…" She sang softly. 

"You are already my darling." He squeezed her waist and smacked his lips to her neck. Slightly biting her. She nudged him hard that made him groan in pain. "That's fucking hard, my love." He said sexily. 

"Don't leave a mark." She scolded him. "Okay, let's get up. We need help in preparing the fireworks." 

"Okay," he said as she put her guitar on the bench and he followed her while walking behind her and holding her hands. She led him to the lawn where they would set up the fireworks. Currently, Leon and Ian were setting up the wires to connect it to the fireworks. 

Ian called Viper who was on the other lawn where they set up the venue for the party. Harvey was helping up with the lights and Connor was tasting the foods for later. 

"Viper, Viper," Leon called while he pressed on the button of the radio. "Foxtrot is ready, in ten seconds." 

"Roger. I set up the timer." Viper answered from the radio. 

She smiled and then in ten seconds the sound of that hissing of fireworks could be heard and it shot up in the sky. Blue and pink fireworks exploded beautifully as they came with another and another. 

"It's ready," Leon said. It's still bright but the fireworks seemed to be amazing for the later night. 

"That's great! I'm going to check the playlist." Keira said and she turned around to see Alicia holding two water bottles for the boys. 

"By the way, Tracey was looking for you," Alicia said. 

"Alright," 

Alessandro followed his wife, still holding her hand. He was grinning from ear to ear. Since they were too busy with work. They haven't had a good walk like this like normal couples do. He shortens his walk after realizing that her breathing changes like she's tired. 

"Damn, you need to walk more, my love." 

"I was doing it well. I started walking while listening to the reports. I even have a treadmill in my office." She told him. 

"Love, I think we need to hike every weekend? What do you say?" 

"That's~~" She frowned at him. "That's quite tiring." 

"But I am very much surprised that you were wild when we were alone at night." 

She giggled as she let go of his hand and smacked his back. She took steps backward, ran to him, and jumped on his back, which he caught perfectly. She kissed his cheeks hard. 

"I am happy for these past few days. My uncle fell in love with Tracey whom I have a negative past with… and everyone is happy." 

"And you are happy?" He asked with his arms scooped to the back of her knees on both sides. 

"I am very much happy despite the threats in our future." She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder. "You never left me alone in the dark, my love." She said softly. 

"Why would I? It's exciting me to be with you in the dark." He grinned at her. When she realized that he meant it sexually, she laughed and pinched his cheeks. "In brightness or darkness, I would never leave you, Keira. I already said that to you, right? Do you remember?" 

She thought back to the times that she was bullied and he never left her. He fought them for her and protected her. And he said the exact words; 'In brightness or darkness, I would never leave you, Keira'. She chewed her lips after remembering it. She felt her eyes start getting hot because that moment was very memorable. She was crying because most of the friends she knows backstabbed her but he was there, protecting her. 

"I remembered." She said gently. "I remember you and your love. I won't ever forget it. Even if I get amnesia, I will try hard to remember it again and again." 

"Good to know, baby girl." 

They were done preparing at two in the afternoon. Then, all of them relax in the spa room where they have their massage, pedicure, manicure, and facial massage. It was a happy family gathering. Just then, Keira doesn't want to end the day full of sadness after happiness. She wanted to sleep happy and content. She just wished that no one would ever ruin their party. 

At seven in the evening, they gathered around as Viper and Alexander became the master of the ceremony and there was singing and games before the actual baby shower. Somehow, Johanna gets bored waiting. She badly wanted to know the gender of her baby although she had guessed the gender.

"Let's just go on with the reveal," Johanna said to Viper who couldn't say no. 

Everyone cheered up and then Viper gave her boxes to open and pressed them. The first that she pressed revealed yellow color firecrackers on the other corner. Then, they pressed together with the last one and that's when the fireworks started working. First was blue and then followed by pink, then blue again and followed by pink. It happened ten more times until the last fireworks were bigger than before and it was pink. 

Connor screamed and started jumping. 

"It's a girl!" he screamed and hugged Viper as he even kissed Viper's cheek that making the man grimace. "It's a Princess!" he screamed and kept screaming while others were cheering. 

Johanna watched the fireworks end as she stayed calm. Then, if it's a girl. Johanna will be happy that Connor would treat her like a princess and give her everything rather than show her how to kill or how to hunt. She smiled at Connor who stopped in front of her. 

"Thank you." He said as he reached her hands and kissed each of them. "Thank you for being wonderful." He whispered and scooped her face and kissed her lips. "I know that it's hard to carry our baby girl but sooner or later we will see our princess." 

"You don't have to thank me. It's after all your fault that I got pregnant." 

He laughed as he bent down and kissed her tummy. Connor was tearing as he caressed her round tummy. 

"Hey, Princess. I will see you soon, okay? I will be with you with every girly moment. I will even buy you anything you want." 

Just as she thought, Connor would do anything for his baby. He wanted a baby girl and they were gifted by a baby girl. 

"Next time, let's have a baby boy too." He said as he reached her left hand and kissed it. "Right, love?" She smiled and nodded her head. It might be impossible as she has a mission, but she will try hard to come back to him.
