Sixteen years of age...

Seven months pregnant + 3 weeks + six days...

I decided to take Luca out for the day. The need to get out of the house was smothering, I was going insane and desperately needed to focus on something else. I took him out to the space parlour in town, surrounding ourselves with people our age. I thought it was a good idea at the time, little did I know. The boys from the rugby team at school were here also. I'm standing next to Luca watching him takedown a whole bunch of zombies in a mansion. It's four dollars a game, the graphics are crap and the sounds even worse. He's loving it, yelling and ducking like they're gonna jump out of the plasma screen and eat him. 

He's having a blast and that's all that matters. 

"Gio, Gio...  Did you see that?" He yells, waving his gun around, reloading it.

"Si," I laugh. "Those zombies don't stand a chance." I rub his head, messing up his hair. 

" Hey......" He shuffles to the side. "You're gonna make me lose."  The sheer determination I witness in his eyes was staggering. 

I wish he'd put that much effort into helping me out with chores around the house. 

I unclip his gaming card from around his neck. "I'm gonna go load some more money on it," I told him when he looked up at me with worried eyes.

I think he thought it was time to leave.

"Stay here until I return," I tell him, I wait for him to nod yes before I walk away. 

I walk up to the counter and wait in line.

"Oh crap!" I hear a familiar voice say as he chuckles. 

"Is that Papa Bear Giovanni?" His voice raises purposefully. 

I roll my eyes, taking in a deep breath, exhaling slowly as I try to remain calm. 

"Yeah, yeah...  That's him alright." Another familiar voice laughs out loud. 

"Oh damn... Wonder where Mama Bear is." A third familiar voice yells out. "Wonder what her honey pot tastes like." He finishes. 

They all laugh in unison like it was the funniest thing ever. They obviously haven't looked in the mirror lately. 

I straighten my back getting to my full height, rolling my shoulders back and loosening my neck muscles. Preparing to give at least two of them a beating.
