As the news of Eva's pregnancy spread, rumors started to circulate among the various rebel groups that opposed Luca's rule. Some saw it as a weakness, an opportunity to strike at the heart of the empire and bring it crumbling down. Others were more cautious, recognizing that attacking Luca directly would be suicide.
In a dimly-lit room deep in the heart of the city, a group of rebels sat huddled around a table, their faces shrouded in shadows.
"We have to strike now, while he's vulnerable," one of them said, his voice low and urgent. "We can take out Luca and his entire family in one fell swoop."
"Are you insane?" another rebel countered. "Luca is too well-protected. We'd never get close enough to take him out."
"We don't need to get close," a third rebel spoke up. "We just need to create chaos. If we can create enough of a distraction, we can slip in and take out his family while he's distracted."
"But how do we create that chaos?" a fourth rebel asked, skepticism in his voice.
"We hit him where it hurts," the first rebel replied. "We go after his business interests. We take out his money, his power. That's what really matters to him."
The group fell silent for a moment, considering the plan.
"But what about the baby?" a hesitant voice spoke up. "I don't want to hurt an innocent child."
"We don't have to," the first rebel said firmly. "But we have to be willing to do whatever it takes to take down Luca. He's a monster, and he deserves to be brought down."
The group continued to discuss their plan into the early hours of the morning, their voices low and urgent as they plotted against Luca and his family.
As Luca and Eva spent more time together, their love only grew stronger. They made plans for their future and dreamed of the life they would build together.
Months went by and Eva's pregnancy progressed smoothly. Luca was by her side every step of the way, taking care of her and their unborn child. They talked to their baby every night, and Luca felt a fierce sense of protectiveness towards his family.
The day finally arrived when Eva went into labor, and Luca was a bundle of nerves as he drove her to the hospital. He paced the waiting room, his heart pounding with anticipation.
Finally, the doctor emerged with a small bundle in her arms. "Congratulations," she said, smiling. "You have a healthy baby boy."
Luca's heart swelled with pride and joy as he held his son for the first time. Aron had a head full of dark hair and piercing blue eyes that seemed to look straight through him.
As Luca looked into Aron's eyes, he felt a sense of determination to protect his family at all costs. He knew that there would be challenges ahead, but he was ready to face them head-on.
Eva watched Luca as he held their son, a smile on her face. She knew that with Luca by her side, they could conquer anything that life threw at them.
Together, they left the hospital as a family of three, ready to begin their new life together.
