Domenico wasn't happy that Mia came to the meeting and he wasn't happy that Evan told her where it was. He didn't know what to believe about Mia. Was she pregnant and was it indeed John's. If it was John's, then that changed things. He would break the agreement with Ben and see about one with John Sr.

"Mia, I would like to see you in the office. Evan, I will see you after." Domenico said when they arrived back at their compound.

"Yes sir." Evan said sitting outside. He knew he was in trouble for telling Mia but she begged him and he couldn't not tell.

"Dad, remember Mia is your daughter not a bargaining chip." Arturo said to him. He was the oldest and Domenico usually listened to him.

Domenico nodded at his son and walked in the office. He took a deep breath so he could speak with his daughter in a calm manner.

"Mia, I want the truth. Are you pregnant?" He looked at her. "Mia, tell me the truth and I won't tell the commission."

"I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. I could be." She replied honestly.

"Mia, do you realize what will happen if you're not?" He sighed. "Mia, you are my only daughter and I love you and I will do anything to protect you."

"I know that." She looked up at her father. "Daddy, I love John and I want to be with him. I don't want to be with Wade. Please."

He sighed again. "Here is what we will do. You will go to the doctor and find out if you are pregnant. If you are, then we will arrange a DNA test unless the doctor can pinpoint your conception date. We just have to wait and see."

"Alright." She replied.

"Okay, I will make the appointment." He picked up the phone and dialed the doctor. He made the appointment for that afternoon. "Okay, you are to be at the doctor's office right now. I will have Justin take you."

He got up and walked to the door. He motioned for Justin to come. He explained that he was to take Mia to the doctor. Once that was taken care of, he motioned for Evan to come into the office.

"You want to explain to me why you told your sister about the commission meeting?"

"She asked me and she begged me to tell her. I couldn't not tell her."

"Evan."

"Dad, she loves John and she wants to be with him."

"Alright. We will table this until after Mia's doctor's appointment." Domenico dismissed his youngest and sat down. This situation was bad. If the commission found out that Mia was lying about the pregnancy, it wouldn't be good.

Mia and Justin arrived at the doctor's office and headed in. They sat down and waited to be called. They were shocked when their mom walked in with her own bodyguard.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Justin asked her first.

"I thought it was more appropriate for a mom to come here with her daughter." She sat down beside Mia and looked at her son. "Justin, you can go. This is a mother/daughter thing."

"Did dad approve it?"

"I don't need your father's permission but he did okay it. So go home."

"Alright." Justin hugged his sister and headed out. Just as he did, she was called back.

"Mia, if you could come back." The nurse said with a smile. She led Mia and her mother to a room before she began the preparations to draw the blood. "Now, I'm just going to draw some blood and then Dr. Cardnelli will be in to do the exam. I understand that you have a problem with needles so if you will just close your eyes and think of something calming." Mia nodded and closed her eyes picturing John as he'd slept beside her in Sicily. A bright smile spread across her face and her mother smiled too.

"There. That wasn't so bad was it?" Mia shook her head. The nurse handed her a gown. "The doctor will be in shortly." The nurse left the room and Mia changed into the gown. She had just pulled the curtain back when she saw her mother's eyes looking her over.

"You love him don't you? John?' That's who you were thinking about when the nurse drew your blood am I right?"

"How did you know?"

"A mother knows these things. And I have never seen you smile like that before. It's the smile of a woman in love. I know. I smile like that whenever I see your father."

"You are still in love with Daddy?"

"Oh yes. As much now as I ever was before. When you find that kind of love, it never goes away. Even if you have to fight for it. Did I ever tell you the story of how your father and I got together?" Mia shook her head. "Well, he had just come to New York and my father gave him a job in one of the butcher shops. I worked there too. I couldn't stand him the first time I saw him. And I was engaged to someone else. But after a while, your father grows on people. I told my father we were in love and that I didn't want to marry anyone but him. Of course it helped that your brother Arturo was on his way." Mia looked at her and smiled. "We were married the next day. 35 wonderful years ago. The point of my telling you this is…..you and I are more alike than you think and your father will come around. I think he sees a lot of himself in John. Plus, you're his baby girl. This is all a bit much for him." Mia nodded and hugged her mother as Dr. Cardnelli came in for the exam.

"Hello Mia, Mrs. Romano. How are you today?"

"We're doing great Doctor how are you?"

"Fine. Mia, I got the results of your blood test back and they confirm that you are indeed pregnant. If you would just lie back on the table, we can do a quick exam and ultrasound and find out how far along you are." Mia sat there for a moment unable to move. She WAS pregnant. She lay back on the table and Dr. Cardnelli did the exam and then he turned on the ultrasound machine. "Well my dear, it looks like you are right around 4 weeks."

Mia just stared at the screen and smiled at the baby. Then it hit her. Four weeks? She smiled to herself. That would mean that the baby had been conceived the night she'd found out about Wade and the stripper. The first night she'd spent with John in Sicily. The first of many. She closed her eyes and tried to blink back happy tears. This was what she'd needed to hear. And soon, she and John would be able to be together.
