"We are?" he repeated, searching her eyes for confirmation.
"Yes… we are," she said softly.
A burst of laughter escaped him. Relief and happiness flooded his features, dissolving the tension he had carried for days.
He cupped her face in his hands and leaned down, capturing her lips in a bruising, passionate kiss. The intensity of it conveyed everything words could not—gratitude, love, and a profound sense of hope. When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against hers, his eyes shining.
"We are trying for a baby!" he exclaimed, still laughing in disbelief. He kissed her again, softer this time but no less meaningful. "God, I love you."
Vee smiled against his lips, her hands sliding up to rest on his shoulders.
"What do you need?" Luca asked, his voice dropping to a husky whisper as he brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Want me to fuck you all day?"
