Rafael (26 page)

Kaya looked up
at Rafael and smiled. He bent his head and kissed her softy before touching his
glass to hers. “Honored indeed, Miss Kane.”

Kaya stood at
the kitchen table scooping seeds out of the pumpkin she was going to carve. A
dark haired little boy with eyes the color of pitch stood in the chair watching
intently. The back door opened and the little boy jumped down and ran, strewing
pumpkin seeds all over the kitchen floor. “Bas, come back here. Sebastian!”

“Papa, look! 
Momma’s making us a punkin.” Rafael laughed, picking his son up, throwing him
in the air, causing the child to laugh and seeds to go flying. With his child
once again safe in his arms, he leaned over and kissed Kaya
on the cheek
.
She smiled at her son then looked up at the man holding him. “Hello, Papa.”

“Hello, my love.
How are my two favorite people in the world?”

“Better now that
you’re here. Always better.” Kaya couldn’t have imagined the love she felt for
Rafael in the beginning of their relationship would get any stronger. She was
wrong. When they found out she was pregnant, she was scared. They both were. Not
knowing how her body would react or if she would be able to carry their baby to
term was terrifying. Soon after she found out, the last journal was located. It
was with great relief they read that Caroline Montagnon had carried and
delivered seventeen healthy babies to term.

The Di Pietro
line would continue and one day their son, Sebastian, would become King. But
for now, he was enjoying being a happy, mischievous little boy who had plenty
of uncles to spoil him.

The ever
rambunctious child began wiggling, and his Papa sat him down. Bas walked over
to his mother and wrapped his little arms around her legs and began whispering.
“What was that, Bas?” she asked the littlest love of her life.

His sweet face
turned up to hers and he said, “I was telling Seven that Papa is home.”

Kaya looked at
Rafael who was frowning at their son. When Bas was born they finally told each
other about their dreams of him and his coming to Rafe during his meditation.
“Sebastian, who is Seven?” Rafael asked his son.

“My baby sister
in Momma’s tummy,” he said as he flung more pumpkin seeds off his sticky hands.

Stefania Seven
Di Pietro was born nine months later on July 7
