Giovanni sat by Serafina's bed. She had just finished giving birth to their beautiful, and healthy baby daughter. They hadn't seen her yet though for more than a few seconds, as the doctors carted her away to do what Giovanni assumed was the usual procedures after a birth. Giovanni held Serafina's hand and then he stood up and kissed her, saying "You did wonderful. I can't wait to see our baby."

Serafina was breathless, her head back and her face covered with sweat. That was the shortest and yet the most painful birth she'd experienced yet and that was because she didnt get an epidural because she was too dilated when they got to the hospital.
She smiled over at Giovanni, glad he was there with her this time.
Finally, the nurses brought back a clean and wrapped little baby girl with bright blue eyes and a full head of hard hair. She was tiny, but she seemed to be looking around wildly at the bright lights and listening to the sounds around her.
Serafina felt her heart melt as they placed little Donatella in her arms and she beamed, not knowing what to say…

Giovanni smiled when they handed the baby to Serafina and he kissed little Donatella's forehead, before pressing his lips to Serafina. When he released her, he whispered "You look beautiful." then he sat back down in his chair, and said "Sera do you mind if my cousin Cristoforo were to come here for a bit. I know you two ain't the best of friends, but he wants to see our beautiful little Donatella. Perhaps my brother Adriano? He said he might try to come." Then Giovanni smiled and half-laughing said "Sera, please be nice to Adriano." Giovanni knew it was Adriano who was usually rude, but he said it anyways.

Serafina couldnt feel happier, and as she felt him kiss her she knew that everything was going to be alright between them. Donatella had fixed everything (so she thought.)
When he spoke then she frowned a little and bit her lower lip but nodded, "If thats what you want." She shifted a little and looked down to see Donatella shifting and whimpering, she was hungry...

Giovanni smiled again, and said "Well if you are uncomfortable with it. They don't need to come. After all, this is our day, and you have a say in it too." Then Giovanni's cell phone rang, and he looked at it and saw the name C. Falcone Giovanni smiled and said "It's my cousin Crocetta. She's married to that Guinea ass hole, Paolo Falcone." Giovanni anwsered the phone and then began to talk to Crocetta. After a few moments he hung up, and kissed Serafina again.

Serafina looked up at him, "Maybe just give me thirty minutes or so..." She reached down to adjust her front so that Dontella could nurse, "And then i'll clean up and be ready." She didnt want to be seen as dishevled as she was, even if she had just had a baby...
She waited while Giovanni talked on the phone, paying attention to the baby while she figured out how to nurse. When he hugn up and came over to kiss her she smiled at him. "What did she want?"

"What did she want?" Giovanni smiled, and replied "She just wanted to wish us congratulations. She would have told you herself, but her son was causing some ruckus at their home, and she needed to take care of it." Then Giovanni smiled again and said "How she is related to Cristoforo I don't know. She is so calm and polite, while he's the exact opposite. I must say, Crocetta is my favorite cousin." Then with a wink he said "But don't tell Cristoforo. And you take as much time as you need, even though I think you already look beautiful."

Serafina just smiled and rocked the baby a little while she listened to Gio. She nodded, "Just thirty minutes..."
Exactly thirty minutes later, Dontella was asleep in a crib nearby and Serafina had showered and cleaned up, putting some makeup on dispite the nurses protest.
Back in her pajamas, she laid back in the hospital bed and sighed, ready to face the family...

While Serafina was getting ready, Giovanni went outside to have a quick smoke, and then returned to the room, and just stood over little Donatella's crib, smiling proudly. This was one of the happiest moments in his life.

Serafina reached over to the little side table to put her favoirte braclet back on. "How soon will they get here? And did you call for the boys? I'm sure they're excited to meet their baby sister."

Giovanni smiled at Serafina's questions, and when she stopped, he raised his hand and said "Cristoforo should be here any minute. As for the boys, I called but who knows how long it will take that damn babysitter to get them here. Just worry about taking care of yourself, you had a challenging day."

When Cristoforo entered the room with Giovanni and Serafina, he put on a smile and walked over to where Serafina lay and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. Cristofor wasn't particularly fond of Serafina, but as long as Giovanni was with her, he would respect her. Clearing his throat Cristoforo looked at Serafina and asked "Sera, how are you doing?"

Serafina smiled and leaned back, closing her eyes. She wouldnt mind a small nap while they waited. Donatella opened her blue eyes as he mother closed hers and looked up at her father with a quizzical look... The nurses had put a little pink hat on her and wrapped her tightly in a pink clown blanket.  Donnatella DiLeonardo When Cristoforo walked in she opened her eyes and tilted her cheek to recieve his kiss. It was true, she didnt like him much either, but not many in Giovannis family did. She smiled polietely. "I'm well thank you." She stayed quite then, not really interestedin conversation with the young lawyer... |

Giovanni greeted Cristoforo with a hearty hug, and then he walked over to Donatella's crib, and seeing she had fallen back asleep, chose not to pick her up, but instead said proudly "This is our little Donatella. Isn't she beautiful?" Then Giovanni walked over to where Serafina lay and sat down in his chair and grabbing her hand he kissed it.

Serafina smiled and watched Giovanni. As he sat down she rached her hand to him so he didnt have any trouble taking it to kiss it. She loved him so much, and just felt exhausted but totally happy.
