“Any names picked out?” Josey said.
“We have it narrowed down to a few. Most likely something Italian to reflect Amedeo’s background,” Violet said.
“Vincent. After my father who died when I was a kid.”
Josey smiled. “That’s great. Let me put this on a cd and they’ll have it at the desk.”
Amedeo had not stopped looking at the screen. He had a silly grin on his face. “I’ll have a son.” He leaned down and kissed Violet. “A son.”
She nodded. “Now we can buy clothes and order the stuff for the crib.”
“Yes.”
Josey pulled a CD out of her computer then slipped it into a sleeve. “Now you can look at this anytime you want.”
She handed it to Amedeo. He held it as if it were gold. Josey handed Violet a paper towel to wipe off her stomach. “Thanks. Now I have to go to the bathroom.”
“I’ll show Mr. Killiano out to the lobby.”
Violet ran to the bathroom. She found Amedeo leaning against a pillar in the lobby of the medical building. He was staring down at the CD in his hand. Wow. He really was touched by all of this. What a sweet man. God, she loved him. Her heart could not be fuller with emotion. He spotted her then smiled. “Hey. You ready?”
“I am.”
“You mind if I bring this into work and show it off?”
“Sure.”
Everyone knew she was having his baby, but there had been no real talk of it. Guess that was going to change.
***
Amedeo watched Violet as she explained how she tracked down the hacker and the identity of the hacker. He had to tell her how he felt. He had to get it out or he would burst.
“Are you listening? You need to initiate charges against this man,” she said.
He still had the CD of their child’s ultrasound in his desk. He showed it to anyone who came into his office. He was probably annoying everyone in the office. It was his company and he could do that if he wanted. “I get it, Violet. I’m pretty excited that you sorted this out. Especially since I’m selling the place soon. I don’t need anything getting in my way.”
She looked at him. “Has the sale gone through?”
“Not yet, but soon,” he said.
Why was she so concerned?
“Will I be out of a job?”
“No, I told you that. Everyone has a job for a year. Or you can follow me to my next venture.”
“Which is?” she said.
“Not sure.”
“Well, I can’t afford to be out of a job, like you can.”
He didn’t want her to leave. “I know. Don’t worry about it.”
She rolled her eyes. “Amedeo, I know you’ve taken care of the baby, but I still need to have a job. Can we get back to this hacker?”
They sat in his office. Him behind the desk. Violet looking over his shoulder. She’d brought up what she’d done to find the hacker. Now he had to make a decision about charging this person. Well, he had to. This was not acceptable.
“Okay. I don’t need the specifics. Tell me who we have to call and how do we prevent this in the future.”
“I’ve been working on the prevention, also. You’re system wasn’t nearly as secure as Carl thought.”
“Carl doesn’t have the raw hacking knowledge that you have,” he said.
“True. Not a lot of people do,” she said.
“Did this person cause any damage?”
Violet shook her head. “Not that I can see. I guess he was laying low to see if anyone discovered him in there before he did his mischief.”
“I don’t even know this person.”
She shrugged. “You may have been picked at random.”
“No viruses or anything like that?”
“No. That’s what I thought he might have done, but none. Let’s see what the FBI will say about it. It was only a breach. No damage.”
He nodded. “Can this wait until tomorrow?”
She stepped away. “You don’t seem too concerned.”
“I am. I really am and I appreciate what you’ve done, but I have other things on my mind.”
She glanced down at her belly. “Not sure we can do it on the desk in my current condition.”
He kissed her stomach. “No, I wanted to go see my mother.”
She sighed. “I guess that’s overdue. Does she know the situation?”
She knew he’d married, but he told her that he was going to have another wedding. A real one because he wanted Violet to be his real wife. He wanted to ask her in front of all the important people in their lives. He’d been planning it for a few days.
“She does. She knows all about it.”
Violet studied him. “She’s okay with it?”
“She’s over the top.”
Violet gave him an odd look. He just laughed then patted her bottom. “Go get your stuff. Let’s leave now.”
“Can we stop home so I can freshen up?”
“No need. Really. My mother knows we’re coming from work.”
She frowned. “Okay.”
He met her in the lobby then walked her to the car. He held the door for her then climbed in after her. She was silent the whole ride to his mother’s house.
“Is everyone here?”
She was clearly looking at all the cars in the driveway.
“Yes.”
She scrunched up her face. “I love your family, but I’m not sure I’m up for all of them today. Can we go home?”
He patted her thigh. “Trust me. We don’t need to be here long, but I think it’ll be fine.”
“Okay.”
They walked in and the first person he saw was Gwen with DJ or Dante Junior. He kissed Gwen’s cheek and then the top of DJs head. What a sweet smelling baby. Ah.
Everyone was in the kitchen and Violet had a puzzled look on her face when she saw Kalia who waved to her. She glanced back at Amedeo. “What’s going on?”
“I have a surprise.”
“Okay.”
He greeted everyone with a hug or a kiss. His mother beamed. She knew what was going to happen. Hopefully Violet wouldn’t be upset. Hopefully she’d be happy. He was betting his heart on her reaction.
Violet hugged everyone then sat on the stool that Amedeo had indicated. Here gaze was wary, but she had a smile on her face. “This looks like an intervention.”
Amedeo laughed. “No, it’s not.”
He took a deep breath then looked around the room. All of the important people were here. He let out the breath.
Then he knelt in front of Violet. “I wanted everyone in our lives to be here when I did this.”
Violet looked around then back to Amedeo. “Yes they are all here.”
He pulled a ring box out of his pocket. A questioning look appeared on Violet’s face. They had wedding rings, but he hadn’t given her an engagement ring. He wanted that for her. He wanted her to know that he was all in this marriage. That it wasn’t a sham.
“Violet Taylor, will you marry me? Again? For real this time? I’ve grown to love you over these months and not just because you’re carrying my child, but because of who you are and who I am when I’m with you.”
Her eyes widened. Her mouth opened. Tears appeared. “Oh. My. God. I love you, too, Amedeo. Yes. I’ll marry you. Again.”
