CHAPTER NINE

Cat woke to find herself sandwiched between the legs of the two men she loved as they worked on their devices silently. Both looked freshly showered and shaved, as if ready to go to work. She had a sense of deja vous, and came awake and smiled as Ricco put down his device and leaned down to kiss her.

"Good morning, Beautiful. How did you sleep?" Ricco asked.

"Good," she lied, hoping that Matteo hadn't realised how many times she had woken up during the night. Each time though, he had been there beside her. Awake and working on his laptop, but close and touching so she knew he was there like a solid rock, never moving while she needed him and staying true to his word.

"Would you like to tell him the truth, or shall I?" Matteo asked, looking at her dubiously.

"You were right here every time I woke, keeping me safe, and I fell straight back to sleep," she sighed. "I did sleep well. I need to see Lucca, then I'll feel better and relax more. I kept seeing him fall in my dream. Once I know he's okay I'll be fine, I promise."

"He's not okay," Ricco said gently. "He has a head injury from his fall, and he is unconscious."

"But he will be okay?" she asked softly, her eyes large and luminous.

"The early signs are good, but it's just a waiting game now," Ricco delivered the news as gently as he could. "If you get up and have breakfast we will take you to see him."

"Yes, please!" she said quickly, and scrambled from the bed into the bathroom.

She had a quick shower and dressed in a comfortable flowing skirt and top before hurrying out to the kitchen, frowning at the huge hot breakfast that sat on the bench. She felt her belly clench and wondered if she could use the baby card to opt for her preferred breakfast of fruit and cereal. She had power here; both Ricco and Matteo kept telling her she held power here. She should be able to eat what she felt like, shouldn't she?

"I'm sorry, Lisa. I don't think I could stomach anything that heavy. Do you think I could just have some yoghurt and muesli, and maybe some fresh fruit?" Cat asked.

"Of course, Catriona," she said with a smile.

"You should eat something substantial, proteins," Matteo growled in a low voice hearing her request.

"I am eating healthy, and there are two other meals in the day to load up on proteins and carbs," she said lightly, trying to avoid a battle of wills.

"You need to make time to go and see Zachary today as well, don't forget," Matteo tried to prompt her without telling her that she was eating for two now.

"I haven't forgotten. That still doesn't mean I have to eat things I don't enjoy for breakfast. I like yoghurt and muesli and fresh fruit," Cat sighed, seeing that despite her best intentions this was going to become a battle of wills. "I've never been a fan of eggs unless they're in cake or something," she admitted.
