SkyGem: Hey~ Sorry for taking so long to update this. School just started up for me again and I'm already swamped with work. Can you believe it? In the first week of school, I get lots of homework! I've already had to do a test for Biology~ I wish summer was back...Anyways, enough of my whining. We will move on to the chapter!

P.S. I just realized something XD. Bianca is a year younger than Sylvana… (since I decided to make the age difference between Bianca and Asari 4-5 years; I hope you guys don't mind). Haha, that's kind of weird…

"D-double wedding?" asked Bianca and Sylvana at the same time.

"Yup!" said Elena enthusiastically. "I mean, we've only just started planning Bianca and Asari's wedding and haven't sent out the invitations yet. So, if neither of you mind, we can have the two weddings together."

The other two women shared a glance before Bianca smiled. "Well, as long as everyone else is okay with it, then I say we go for it!"

Sylvana fidgeted a little. The truth was, she really wanted to do it, but there was one thing that was bothering her.

Seeming to notice her discomfort, Bianca quickly said, "If you don't want to, then we don't have to do it together!"

Shaking her head frantically, Sylvana said, "No! I really do want to do it, but…"

"But?" prompted Elena.

"But I'm pregnant," the redhead said shyly. "So it would either have to be in the next couple of months, or after the baby is born."

"You're pregnant?" repeated Bianca with wide eyes. Then, throwing her arms around the older woman, she exclaimed, "That's wonderful! If that's the case, then why don't we wait until after he's born? I wouldn't mind. It's only a few more months. How far along are you?"

"W-well, the doctor said I'm fifteen weeks, but I think he might have gotten it wrong. I can't feel the baby bump yet, and I've only gained a few pounds," said Sylvana nervously. "Is that normal? Is there something wrong?"

Both the women turned to Elena, who was the only one experienced in this kind of thing.

The blonde just shrugged. "I started showing at nine weeks, but remember I had twins, so that probably has something to do with it. Don't worry. I know for a fact that there's nothing wrong with you. Everyone starts showing at different times. My aunt, for instance, told me that her baby bump didn't appear until 25 weeks."

Sylvana nodded, feeling a little better.

At that point, the children and Lampo and Giotto excused themselves and the three women took their conversation to Elena's room.

"So," started Sylvana curiously, when they had settled down. The twenty-four year old had gotten over her initial shyness, and now felt a sort of bond with the other two, as if they were long-lost friends. "What happened to the kids' mothers?"

By the way their expressions suddenly darkened when she said this, Sylvana guessed that this was a sensitive topic for them.

Letting out a small sigh, Elena hugged her knees to her chest, her expression forlorn. "Ryohei's parents died in a car accident about two years ago, and only he and his sister survived."

Sylvana gasped at this, but kept quiet, and Elena continued.

"Knuckle was their only relative from their father's side, and their relatives from their mother's side already have enough children to look after, so it was unanimously decided that they would come to live with us."

Sylvana nodded, then asked the question that had been bugging her for a while now. "Then where is his sister?"

"His sister, Kyoko, decided to stay in Japan, and live with her friend and her family."

"Japan?" asked Sylvana in confusion.

"Their father was Knuckle's half-brother, and he was half-Japanese. He had fallen in love with a Japanese woman, and the two of them decided to settle down there," supplied Bianca.

"I see," she said slowly, digesting this information. During the short amount of time she had known him, Sylvana had gotten the impression that Ryohei was a very optimistic person; she had no idea that he was carrying with him such a painful past. Changing the subject, she said, "Well, what about Kyoya?"

"Kyoya lived with his mother in Japan until he was five," started Bianca. "Alaude had no idea that he had a son, but on an assignment to Japan, he stumbled upon him."

"His mother used to abuse him," continued Elena in a quiet voice. "So Alaude brought him here."

Sylvana was horrified at this. "Abuse him?" she asked, thinking back to the black-haired little boy. "Why would anyone want to injure their own child? Their own flesh and blood?"

"I wish I knew," replied Elena bitterly, her eyebrows furrowed. "Because of her, Kyoya had to go through so much, and learn how to fend for himself. It's not right to put a child through that."

"But at least now he has a family who loves him," interjected Bianca, trying to lighten the mood."

"Yeah," said Elena with a smile on her face. Then, her face regained its somber expression. "But the Vongola men really are terrible at choosing women. Tsuna, Takeshi, and Hayato's mothers all abandoned them when they were all less than three months old."

"Less than three months?" cried Sylvana in disbelief.

Bianca nodded. "And can you believe it? A few months ago, Asako, Hayato's mother, actually had the nerve to come here with her new family and try and take Hayato back."

"No way!" she exclaimed.

Elena nodded. "As you can see, we didn't let her, of course. Giotto, G, and the others would all rather die than let anyone take their sons away from them."

After that first day, the three Vongola women were inseparable, and as Sylvana's baby bump slowly but surely grew, so too did their friendship.

Then, on a certain February morning, Sylvana was on her way to the kitchen when suddenly, she felt a kind of pop in her stomach. Stopping midstride, her face froze in panic as she felt something wet trickle down her legs.

A maid, who just happened to be passing by, looked at her worriedly. "Lady Sylvana? Is there something wrong?"

Sylvana, feeling close to tears, looked at the maid pleadingly. "I-I think my water just broke."

Upon hearing these words, the maid's eyes widened, and she whipped out a small cell phone and punched in Elena's, opting to call the woman instead of running around the mansion looking for her.

She tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for the blonde to pick up. Finally, when Elena's voice came onto the other line, the maid didn't waste any time, instead saying quickly, "Lady Sylvana's water just broke."

Elena blinked uncomprehendingly upon hearing this, then her eyes widened. Snapping into action, she said, "Okay, Bianca and I will meet you guys in the foyer. Got get a car ready and call the hospital! I'll call Lampo and the others."

"Yes, miss Elena," replied the maid, getting straight to her task.

Quickly, Elena dialed Bianca's number and informed her of the situation.

The two of them made their way to the foyer, and within minutes, they were speeding to the hospital.

Lampo, G, and Giotto were at a meeting with the Dons of the Chiavarone and Giegue Famiglias when they got the phone call.

While Lampo answered his phone, Giotto and the two other Dons kept talking.

Before long, though, they were interrupted by a shout from Lampo. "WHAT?" he screamed at the top of his lungs. "RIGHT NOW?"

Immediately, all heads in the room whipped towards the greenette and he lowered his voice significantly. "Uh huh. I'll be there as soon as possible. Yeah. Thanks, Elena."

When he hung up, Giotto asked worriedly, "What happened? Is Sylvana okay?"

"She's gone into labour!" shouted the lightning guardian in panic.

Giotto's eyes widened in shock when he heard this.

"Elena and Bianca took her to the hospital, and I have to go there, now!"

With just the slightest hesitation, G said, "I'll take him there, boss!"

"Why don't we just end the meeting here?" suggested Giovanni with a smile. "Lampo's fiancée is about to give birth, right? This is an important occasion. The whole family should be there."

Giotto smiled gratefully at him. "Are y guys sure it's okay?"

The Don of the Giegue Family smiled a little. "Just go. Even if you stay here, it's not like you'll be paying any attention."

Letting out a small laugh, Giotto said sheepishly, "That's true. Thank you so much!"

And with that, they were off, speeding halfway across town to the hospital where the newest member of the family would be born.

As the doctor gave Sylvana instructions on what to do, the woman was only half-listening to her. The main thing that was occupying her mind was her fiancé.

"Where the hell is Lampo?" she said out loud, and Bianca, who was holding one of her hands smiled reassuringly.

"He'll be here soon," she said. "He was at a meeting when we called, so it might take a while for him to get here, but he'll definitely come.

Sylvana just nodded, a little panicky.

Just then, the door swung open, and everyone turned to look at the newcomer.

Sylvana's eyes widened in relief when she saw Lampo standing there, looking disheveled and out of breath.

A few hours and many screams of pain later, the doctor held a crying baby in his arms, and said declared its gender, saying in a clear voice, "It's a boy!"

Lampo, who was still sitting beside his fiancée, squeezed her hand lightly and swept aside a lock of sweat-matted hair. Placing a kiss on her temple, he said, "You did it."

Sylvana smiled tiredly, then held her arms out for her baby.

When the doctor placed the child in her arms, she cooed gently at him. Then, looking up at the father, she asked, "What should we name him?"

Lampo answered without hesitating, for he had been thinking about this for the longest time now.

"Lambo," he said. "His name will be Lambo."

The redhead smiled widely at the man, then looked down at her newborn son.

Placing a kiss on the boy's head, she said, "Welcome to the family, Lambo."

SkyGem: Haha, sorry, this was kind of a boring chapter, but no worries. Next chapter, I'll wrap up the LampoxSylvana arc, and after that will be the arc I, personally, am excited for. The Japan arc. XD I'll let you guys guess what that means (though it's not too hard).
