Serafina reached out and took his arm. She wouldnt say anything. She was just glad that they wernt getting a divorce.
But still. There was the matter of the dancer...
Maybe Serafina would take matters into her own hands there...

Giovanni slowly led Serafina downstairs and helped her into the Rolls-Royce. He himself got into the back seat and asked the driver for a glass of champagne, which the driver gave him. Then the driver got in and pulled away from the house and headed towards the hospital. Giovanni raised the cup to his lips about to drink, but then thought better of it and tossed it out the window and it hit a passing car. Giovanni quickly lowered his head and muttered "That wasn't supposed to happen."

Serafina frowned, she sat across the seat looking out the other window. She looked just in time to see Giovanni throw the drink on another car. She watched him for a moment, seeing his pride deminish a little and she felt bad for it. She'd never wanted to make him feel like less of a man...
She reached over and put her hand on his, offering a small smile...

Giovanni smiled and said "Sera, you feeling all right? You not still feeling sick are you?" Giovanni was just trying to make small talk, to lighten the mood. Now he was craving another Scotch, but he pushed it to the back of his mind.

"No I feel alright." She said looking down at her feet and putting her hand over her stomach. She supposed this was how it was going to be between them. For the rest of their lives there would be the elephant in the room...
She waited a few moments before she glanced at him. "And are you... alright?"

Giovanni nodded and said quietly "Of course. I am I just wanted to know if you and the baby were all right. I.." but Giovanni's voice trailed off. He smiled at Serafina and said "Well, let's just try to make the best of this day huh?"

Serafina smiled and scooted closer to him. Her fingers laced through his and she leaned her head against his shoulder.
Suddenly there was the screech of tires while Serafinas body got thrown against the other side of the cab, smacking her head against the glass and shattering. In that same instant a truck smashed its way into the front of the car they occupied, killing the driver.
The men in the other car instantly put it into reverse and tried to make a get away. It was a hit on Giovannis life.
Serafina was unconscious, blood spilling down her face from a gash on her head…

Giovanni was thrown forward, but he was able to prevent his head from breaking the back window. He pulled out his pistol, but he was too drunk to shoot straight, and the hitmen were allowed to escape. He groaned and scooted towards where Sera lay, he picked up her hand and whispered "Sera! Sera! Talk to me! For the love of God talk to me!"

Serafina remained unconcious, her blood dripping down onto the seat and getting into her hair.
Others on the scene saw what happened and they quickly called 911. Within minutes an ambulance was on the scene...
"Sir! Sir are you alright?" One of the EMT's asked Giovanni while Serafina was loaded onto stretcher, her neck in a neck brace while the hurried to stop her bleeding...

"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Let...let me go with her!" Giovanni didn't wait for a reply, but he opened the door of his car and rushed towards the ambulance, and slowly entered the back, and sitting down on a seat, grabbed Serafina's hand and placed it to his face. For the first time in years, he wept. He hoped the baby was all right, and he hoped Serafina was all right.

Four hours later, Serafina lay unconscious in a hospital bed. Doctors said that the baby inside seemed to be alright although in time complications might arise from the trauma. Serafina had no permanent brain damage, but her skin had been cut deeply. After being stitched up and set up to an IV, doctors told Giovanni that she was in a comatose state. One that it was uncertain when she would wake up...

Giovanni sat in the waiting room of the hospital, not being able to bear seeing Serafina like that. He had a cup of coffee in his hand, and he was starting to sober up. All he remembered was a truck and him crawling towards Serafina. He was tired from lack of sleep the night before, and had a thin stubble on his chin. He groaned and checked the clock, it was still awhile before the doctor was supposed to see him again.

"Dad?" GianCarlos soft voice came from the doorway. Both he and Angelo stood their, their nanny behind them. They looked scared to death to see their mother like that, and even more scared to see their father so upset...
A little beep told of Serafinas heart beat, it was steady and constant....

Giovanni looked up and saw his two sons standing there with their nanny, and he smiled weakly and motioned for them to come over to him, where he sat. He quickly gulped down the last of the coffee and put on another false smile, pretending it was going to be all right.

The boys hurried to their father and Angelo started to cry while GianCarlo just hunched his shoulders and shoved his hands into his pockets. He wanted to show his father he was a man and wouldnt cry for anything although he only glanced at his mothers body.
Suddenly there was a slight change in the machines beep and Serafina started to steir, moaning a little as she did so. Her lips parted and she seemed to be trying to say something although the sound was too weak to hear...
