Alina glanced at Karina before looking back. "Both of us?"
He nodded, confirming it.
"Alright then," Alina nodded, "we will be there in a few."
The moment of the soldier left, Alena stood up and offered her hands to her sister. This was a common way for them to walk while holding their hands together. It had started with Karina being reluctant to go anywhere and Alina having to pull her to it after that, it just stuck.
She knocked on the door and heard faint permission given by her husband. Alena entered first followed by Karina and both of them went to the sides of their husband.
Alina smiled at her husband and stood by his side. Dimitri pressed his hand on her waist. "Matvey?"
"He is taking his nap. The nanny is with him." And a few soldiers. The heir to the bratva was never left alone.
"Good." Dimitri nodded, satisfied with the information. "Now, I would offer you something to help with the cold but I hear congratulations are in order."
Dimitri turned to Karina. "Congratulations, Kareena. May your child be healthy."
Alina hid a little smile. Of course, Dimitri said something like that. It kind of made sense as well, given the big bad Russian mafia boss was not going to exactly jump in joy when somebody got pregnant.
"T-thank you." Karina stuttered her words in a whisper, keeping her eyes down but only glancing around.
Dimitri nodded and she received his attention again. "Ivan had asked me to be the godfather of his first born. I have thought of something else to strengthen our relationship."
Alina quickly glanced at Ivan, before her husband could frown on it. "What is it that you have decided?"
It was not like she couldn't decide against her husband. Whatever he had decided was going to go through anyway.
"I proposed a marriage between our first born and any daughter that Ivan may have." Dimitri smiled but it was just a stretch of his lips. "He agreed."
"Oh?" She looked at Karina but her sister was just looking down. If there was nothing that Kareena disagreed with to show enough publicly, then she did not have anything either.
It was not like this was the first time and arranged marriage was being arranged. It happened all over the bratva. Also, her son could have ended up in a different place. Marrying him to her daughter was going to be just fine and since Karina and she were very distant cousins it was going to be fine, biologically too.
She smiled, that's all she could do. Giving him a yes would mean that she had felt the need of authority here.
"Wonderful." He reached forward and shifted a few papers. "I want a few signatures from you here."
Alina reached forward to a pen and signed along the places where her husband had pointed a finger at. They were just too, when he finished, she stepped back.
"It is done then." Dimitri stood up and extended a hand towards Ivan. "To our future generations."
"To our future generations, pakkhan."
