VALENTINA

Everyone is sleeping right now and it has been fifteen minutes since Luciano dropped us home. Sandra is making her baby food for the night because Carol told me that Olivia wakes up twice at night for food and it has been three hours since she was last fed so I'll make her sleep after she eats. Hopefully, everything goes alright.

I'm not really an eligible person to take care of babies and not because of the fact that I am scared but because I don't have any experience. I'm the youngest child in my family and all of my cousins and brothers are older than me.

"Here sweetie." Sandra hands me the bowl with her food. It looks yucky.

"Are you sure this is what she is supposed to eat?" I asked scrunching up my nose.

"Yes of course. This is baby food." Sandra replied giggling like a school girl.

"Okay Liv....let's have some food..." I said in a baby voice bringing the spoon towards her mouth.

She is sitting in my lap because we don't have that cute chair for her here. I'm more comfortable anyway.

"Why is she not having it?" I asked panicking when Olivia turned her mouth not even opening it making a crying face.

"Its okay sweetheart. Don't worry. She is being away from her parents for the first time and you're feeding her for the first time too. Let her get used to you." Sandra explained rubbing my back.

"Cmon princess...have some food for Aunt Val...cmon baby.." I tried again and she did take some of it from the spoon making me sigh in relief.

Thats what I did for the next thirty minutes. She denied so many times but I tried to make her eat as much as I can and let me tell you I'm not very patient but here I'm being so patient.

She is a sweetheart though. She hasn't even cried as much as I was expecting. I mean that's what babies do. Right?

Sandra is currently burping her as she said that is very important after a baby eats and I'm making some space in my room for her crib. Thankfully they had a foldable one or I don't know where I would have made her sleep.

Carol has made sure that Olivia has each and every item she uses daily so she feels more familiar. She is such an amazing mother although now after setting up her things, my room feels like a baby room.

"Here, she is asleep. Call me if you need anything. I'll be here or do you want me to stay here?" Sandra asked smiling sweetly.

"No Sandra. You're doing enough already but I'll call you if I need help. Thanks." I smiled taking Liv from her.

"Goodnight!" Sandra kissed my cheek and skipped out of my room.

"Alright...let's get you to bed just like your Mommy explained." I whispered and slowly put her down inside the soft mattress of her crib.

Wow.

I would love to sleep there.

Unfortunately its a small one or we could have tried to fit atleast.

I sigh tiredly and walk inside the washroom without making any noise. It has been such a long day. With David finding out to Luciano meeting david to getting another threat note, it has been a wonderful day.

I quickly take a shower and change into my Pjs. I see Liv still sleeping peacefully so I lie down staring at the ceiling.

What's going to happen now?

I have no idea what I'll do or what will happen. Last time, I was lucky enough because of the shooting and I ran away but what if I'm unable to fight this time.
