Loving Autumn. Unbelievable, #6

He was my everything for years. I was his coach's daughter. That all changed when Rocco Ramboli found out he was a father with someone else's baby. Someone showed up one day on Rocco's doorstep with a letter, legal papers and Emilia. He didn't know how to take care of a baby. He needed help. While setting up nanny interviews I told him I could watch her as long as I wasn't in school. I didn't think it was going to go that far, but once you meet a Ramboli you can't just walk away.
It was natural for me to slip into a motherly position. I loved Emilia as if she was my own. I loved Rocco too, but he didn't need to know that. I was positive he had thought of me only as the coach's kid. That's because we met when I was sixteen. We'd become friends just out of proximity since I wanted to be a physical therapist. What better place for me than as an assistant to the team's doctor.
I thought we were meant to be. Instead, I was meant to love his little girl who was abandoned by her birth mother. It wouldn't always stay that way. I became Emilia's mother and I became something to Rocco. It was easy and felt right. Until Emilia's birth mother showed back up on her third birthday wanting to be in her life. I didn't know what to do or how to handle seeing Emilia's birth mother. We had been happy. I wasn't going to let it go.
They were my family. And it turned out Rocco thought the same way. We just had to figure out how to keep our family together. Contains mature themes. Must be 18+. As always a Happily Ever After.
