Confessions of a Gold-Digger
#50. My First Child
Tsuna had annihilated the Carcassa Famiglia and returned the control of the Vongola back to Nono under the condition that he could continue the wars with the remaining four Famiglias.
It had been a few months since then.
READ THAT TOP SENTENCE AGAIN.
IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE INCIDENTS IN THE LAST CHAPTER.
My readers, I have not lost my swag quite yet and I sure as fuck am not going to narrate every detail that happened in the last few months for your convenience….
But things have been good.
Tsuna placed the breakfast tray on my lap and kissed my forehead softly. I almost giggled at the sight of the future king of the Mafia in Maman's cute 'kiss the chef' apron. "Good morning."
"You are like so totally cheesy," I said, rolling my eyes. I gave him a quick peck on the lips before I shoved food into my mouth.
We were living in the Namimori house because Tsuna wanted me to be around our children.
"I need to help Lambo find his homework," Tsuna sighed. "I'll be right back."
"I helped him yesterday so I know he did it this time," I said.
Tsuna had temporarily given up all Mafia responsibilities to focus on me. Reborn couldn't even manage to drag him away from me for training ("Once I become Don, I won't be able to be so involved so let me enjoy this now, Reborn."). He spent most of the time doing household chores, cooking, cleaning and spending time with me, the kids or Maman.
"Are the answers right though?" Tsuna raised an eyebrow and I smacked him.
"I'm not that stupid," I snapped. "I mastered first grade math two years ago."
"I'm just joking, honey." Tsuna laughed, trying to tickle me.
"Well, then you should–"
"Ciao," Reborn magically dropped from the ceiling and landed on Tsuna's head. "Looking at you two lovebirds makes me nauseous."
Tsuna winced in pain, rubbing his head, "What's up, Reborn? I didn't know you were back in Namimori. I would have picked you up."
"The wars are finally over," Reborn said, giving Tsuna's head a hard kick. "No thanks to you."
"Of course the wars would end and we would emerge victorious," I said, drinking in my orange juice. "After all, the Vongola had you on their side. Wherever there is Reborn, there is victory."
Reborn covered his eyes with his fedora. "Tch. Stop being a smooth talker, Dame-Elena."
"Elena's right," Tsuna said. "I'm relieved that it's over."
"Nono wants to start your Inheritance Ceremony in a few months," Reborn said, finally looking up. "Your little vacation is over, Dame-Tsuna."
"I need to take care of Elena–" Tsuna protested.
I gently grabbed Tsuna's shoulder before turning to Reborn. "You're right. It's time for my Sky to take his mantle."
Tsuna's constant care and the kids' presence in the last few months had healed me in a way I didn't think was possible. Daemon Spade's horrifying actions no longer had any control over me and my current family had helped me make peace with my dead one. The pain would always there but it didn't have any power over me.
"I've got another great news," Reborn announced and there was a hint of a smile on his face as he spoke the next sentence. "Donna Cavallone gave birth to a healthy baby boy yesterday."
Dino married Bianchi-nee when I had disappeared so I hadn't been able to attend the wedding. Their marriage was a huge surprise to me and it took me a few days to recover. It was hard to believe that Bianchi was five years younger than Dino when she was so much more mature, and it was harder to believe that Dino had somehow won her over. How freaking self-occupied was I to not notice the romance of the century?
"I'm an aunt!" My heart literally exploded with happiness. "Tsuna immediately book flights to Italy. I need to see my nephew's face."
"A private Vongola plane is in the Namimori airport," Reborn said. "Ready to leave when you are."
"I'm going to live with them for the next few months," I declared. "Childbirth is not easy. I'll go and help Onee-chan, serve her better than any maid possibly could. I'll help her take of my nephew and lift responsibilities from her shoulders."
I hadn't been that close to Dino-nii or Bianchi-nee before the pregnancy but the moment I learnt about my future nephew, I tried to make up for it and even added honorifics to their names. I always sent them gifts and called Bianchi everyday to check up on her. It often exasperated them.
Reborn gave me an amused smirk. "If Dame-Elena has one good quality it's her love for children. I know she's going to treat your allies' children as her own so that's going to be beneficial in strengthening alliances."
"Of course I will treat them like my own children," I snorted at Reborn stating the obvious as I jumped off my bed. "The role of an aunt is no different from a mom, Reborn. I am incredibly lucky that I already get to see my first born."
"I mean, what else do you expect from her, Reborn," Tsuna stood up, picking up the empty breakfast tray. "I think the only one who will love the kid as much as Dino-nii and Bianchi is Elena."
"So, we're moving to Italy, right?" I asked, already pulling out clothes from the closets. "We're leaving tonight and I'll get the kids to pack up as soon as they come back from school. I can't live a moment longer without seeing my nephew."
"Don't worry, Dame-Elena," Reborn said. "You'll have kids of your own one day."
Tsuna and I turned bright red. We hadn't gone past kissing in the last few months because Tsuna was very insistent on not "taking advantage of me" in my mentally broken state so the idea of us well…
"I still need to get the kids ready for school and help Lambo find his homework." Tsuna coughed in embarrassment. "Elena, I know you want to give little Cavallone a lot of gifts so feel free to use the Vongola card as much as you want."
"Gotcha," I said, my face still red. "I'll pack your luggage, too."
Tsuna quickly left and Reborn snorted. "So you two still haven't done anything yet."
My hands were packed with bags and I literally stumbled into the baby's nursery. I was followed by six maids who brought a similar amount of packages. We set down all the gifts in one corner and I practically ran to Bianchi. Tsuna and Dino were one step behind me.
"Congratulations, onee-chan!" I said with delight. Bianchi gave me a tired smile and carefully handed me her son. Baby Daniel had his father's coloring of blond hair and blue eyes. I didn't think it was possible to love my nephew more but it only grew deeper the moment I set my eyes on him. My eyes couldn't leave him.
"I had a feeling she would come running over," Dino laughed. "She's been calling Bianchi every day since she learnt about the pregnancy."
"I took a long shower before the flight and she nearly strangled me to death for making us late," Tsuna sighed. "She even told the pilot to 'drive faster'."
I carefully handed Bianchi my baby back and fell to my knees, my hands clasped together gratefully. "I owe you my life for giving birth to my nephew. Please let me be your maid for the next few months so that I can help ease your discomfort and take care of you."
Bianchi placed her hand on my shoulder and guided me to a seat next to her. "How can the future Donna of the Vongola Famiglia be my maid?"
While it was true that the Cavallone were one of the top three strongest Mafia Famiglias, they were nowhere near the influence of the Vongola– not that it could ever matter to me.
"Because there's no fortune or power in this world that can bring me the happiness that you have given me," I said sincerely.
"I'll really owe you Dino-nii if you let her take care of your wife and son," Tsuna said.
"I have a feeling my son is going to be known as 'Donna Vongola's favorite son' rather than 'the Cavallone heir'," Dino laughed. "I mean, everyone's heard of Elena's love for children from how she protected your Lightning from Xanxus' to how she killed Daemon Spade for murdering an innocent five year old she never even saw, but it's quite something else to directly experience it."
"Yeah," Tsuna sweatdropped, "when it comes to children she completely loses any sense of self-preservation."
I decided to ignore them as I cooed over my nephew. His hand was smaller than my thumb!
Tsuna and I were completely busy the next few months.
I spent all my time in the Cavallone Mansion, while he was busy with arranging the Inheritance Ceremony. We saw each other sometimes, but my Storm Flames were nearly going insane from missing their Sky.
Bianchi tried to change her son's diaper, but I quickly took the task away from her. I made her take a seat, handed her some tea, and went onto make sure my nephew was finally poop-free.
"The Inheritance Ceremony is in a week," Bianchi said, sipping her tea. "Are you nervous?"
"Yeah, it's gonna be hella big," I said, throwing away the old diaper, but then I stopped for a second. "Wait. Why should I be nervous?"
Bianchi stared at me blankly. "Don't you know?"
"Don't I know what?" I demanded.
"It's better discussed between Vongola Storms," Bianchi shrugged, but there was a hint of worry in her tone. "Ask Hayato. As soon as you can."
I nodded, going back to the task of putting on a new diaper, deciding not to overthink what Bianchi wanted to say. I changed the topic to something else. "I wanted to ask you why your maids call me Skyborn or Sky-daughter. I mean, I'm not a Sky–"
"Rumors of your birth spread like wildfire in the Mafia," Bianchi raised an eyebrow, "Rumors spread by you."
"Well, whenever anyone asked who my parents were, I told them I fell from the sky but I'm not sure what that has anything to do with my weird nickname," I said. It had been years and I still sucked at lying. I really couldn't help myself, even if I sounded crazy when I told people my origin story.
"Well, many people believed what you said," Bianchi said. "They are quick to agree that someone like Don Vongola would end up with some kind of demoness who fell from the sky."
"Demoness?!" I spluttered. "Why can't I be something like– like a cute fallen angel!"
"So you'd rather people think you are Lucifer?" Bianchi asked neutrally.
I deflated, "So the nickname…?"
"Since you fell from the Sky, people think the Sky gave birth to you or something," Bianchi said. "That's why those in the Mafia who have heard of you call you Skyborn or Sky-daughter."
"Well, that must've been the most unpleasant birth experience anyone ever experienced," I said, scrunching my nose. "I was falling so hard that I thought my face was going to rip off. And, then I fell on Hibari!"
"I'm sure Daniel's experience was much more unpleasant," Bianchi smirked in amusement.
I imagined the blood and being popped out of–
"Yup, demoness or not," I said. "I like my birth better."
Bianchi laughed.
I went to Gokudera's office once I returned to the Vongola Mansion. The boy was always locked in there until late night so I knew I'd have some time to talk to him–
Yamamoto had his hand wrapped around Gokudera's neck like a collar as he pressed him against the shelf and kissed him like a beast possessed–
They immediately broke apart. I was too shellshocked to react. But, most importantly, my Flames were burning with jealousy at the momentary submissive pleasure expression in Gokudera's face. I needed Tsuna to–
"Elena," Yamamoto coughed and smiled, "we weren't expecting you–"
I finally found my voice, "I need to leave–"
"Get lost, baseball idiot," Gokudera barked at his boyfriend. "I need to talk to this other idiot."
"Maa, maa, Gokudera. So strict, Yamamoto laughed as he walked out but then he turned and winked, "Get to bed soon."
Heat creeped up in Gokudera's face and I was struck with the same jealousy. I slammed the door shut when Yamamoto left and took a seat.
"What," Gokudera coughed in embarrassment, "did you need to talk about?"
"Bianchi," I swallowed thickly, pushing back my jealousy, "Bianchi told me to talk to you about the Inheritance Ceremony. She mentioned I should be nervous about something."
Gokudera looked a little confused before he paled. "Fuck, fuck."
I sat up straight, worried, "What's going on?"
"Please tell me you and Tenth have had sex already."
My face turned bright red at his words, and that seemed to answer his question.
"Fuck" Gokudera hissed. "How is that even possible? I have never met a weaker Storm or a stronger Sky. How were you two able to even resist each other for so long? Weren't you two living together when–" Gokudera took a few deep breaths.
"I don't get the problem," I said, my face still red.
Gokudera spoke after he cooled down a little, "The Inheritance Ceremony is basically the consumption of the Vongola Sin and that Sin has a negative effect on the, well, inheritor."
I immediately became worried. "Tsuna's going to get hurt?!"
"It's not like that," Gokudera shook his head. "It's just going to bring out the worst in Tenth."
"Will he try to hurt anyone?" I asked.
"The plan is that he won't," Gokudera said and massaged his temples. "Honestly, it completely depends on you."
"Me?" I asked, confused.
"Tenth's going to be controlled by his darkest, basest thoughts," Gokudera said. "Wrath, power…and a lot of other things, but amongst them will be desire. And there's nothing Tenth desires more than you. We're hoping that he'll be spending the entire time with you until the effects of the Vongola Sin wears off."
"So, what's the...concern?" I asked. My Flames were literally doing backflips at the thought of Tsuna's darkness dominating them.
"Well, since you're still a, you know, virgin," Gokudera went a little red, "it isn't a good idea to lose it when Tenth will be, you know, crazy with lust." Gokudera groaned, massaging his temples. "I hate this. Why the fuck is it my job to give you sex advice?"
"I see…" I said, looking down and blushing. "So it's best if lose it before the Ceremony–" I stood up. "Nevermind. I'll go and talk to Tsuna about it."
"What?" Gokudera stood up. "You can't tell Tenth about the effects of the Vongola Sin."
"Why not?" I frowned.
"Tenth won't take it," Gokudera said. "He'll never take the Vongola Sin if he finds out that it will temporarily bring out all the darkness in him."
"Explain," I ordered.
"Tenth's darkness… well, I've seen it twice and I'm pretty sure Tenth is extremely angry at himself for the way he acted," Gokudera said. "He would never let himself plunge back into the same darkness again. He's afraid of what he'll do, who he'll become– but it's not the same. You're here, alive. The whole Ceremony and the consumption of the Vongola Sin will go without a hitch as long Tenth as gets his prize in the end."
"Okay," I swallowed, "so I should…"
"Are you interested in having sex with Tenth?" Gokudera asked. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Even at his darkest Tenth is madly in love with you and he will not touch a hair on your head without permission. f you even just hug Tenth when he's under the effects of Vongola Sin, his darkness will be under control–"
"No, no, no! I want to!" I said and immediately became embarrassed at my eagerness. "So to, like, make the most of the Vongola Sin effects I should lose it before the Ceremony?"
"Tch. Only you would look forward to something as scary as Tenth's darkness," Gokudera said.
So… I needed to lose my virginity to Tsuna before the Inheritance Ceremony so I could fully enjoy dark Tsuna's dominance after he took the Vongola Sin without any pain or awkwardness.
"How do I… go about… you know?" I asked, blushing.
"It's not my job to tell you how to seduce Tenth," Gokudera crossed his arms. "Just don't be direct. Storms are never direct when it comes to sex and let their partner always take control. If you try to initiate it, Tenth will know something is up."
It was true. I didn't have the slightest urge to have any kind of control when we had sex. I just wanted to be under his control.
"Not be direct?" I whimpered, feeling very out of my depth all of a sudden, "But… I'm… clueless, you know..."
Gokudera sighed, "Well, Skies are extremely territorial so I'd suggest… saying or doing things that would make Tenth jealous?"
"But why would he be jealous?!" I exclaimed. "He knows how blindly faithfully I am to him–"
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Gokudera said and nodded. "I don't really get it myself. Like Takeshi literally loses it if someone hits on me when he clearly knows I'd rather die than even glance at someone else. The more dominant Elements are weird like that. But, you know, the sex after that is rough and earth-shattering so I never complain– " Gokudera choked on his words when he realised what he just confessed. "I never told you that."
"My innocent ears are bleeding," I said and Gokudera smacked me in the head.
"Get lost," Gokudera barked. "I'm done helping you."
I laughed as I walked out, "Have fun with Yamamoto, Goludera."
Step #eh… I don't know if I wanna call them steps anymore but I'd say children are the future and I'M AN AUNT BITCHES
