I try not to think more about Father and his demands for the rest of the day. As I fed Angel, the both of us curled on the couch, and my tablet popped to stand on the table to watch the next episodes of Triumph del Amor. When Caela wakes up, I put him in his chair, changing the movie to a cartoon on YouTube while I bathe his sister. Taking them to the living room, I place her in her chair as well as I prepare their food. When I’m done, I leave it to cool for a bit while I turn off the TV. And get some napkins from the kitchen I return with their food. Today, the kids are determined to be good because the feeding goes off without a hitch and I didn’t have to go change afterward. I kiss their heads loudly for their good behavior and turn the TV back on to keep their attention while I clean up and eat my dinner. I’m tired by the time I finish washing and drying the used utensils. “Want to go and watch movies with Mama?” I ask the twins out loud as I pop Calea on one hip, then le

The kids are awake by the time I drag myself out of bed, Maria is feeding them in the kitchen. “Why didn’t you wake me? Good morning” I greet her. I don’t know how I overslept and the babies are up and about before me. I yawn walking closer, Maria spoons some mashed carrots and feeds Caela. “Niko said to let you sleep and I’m happy to take care of these little munchkins” She pats the side of Caela’s lips with a napkin before feeding her some more. I look up “Is he still here?” He’s usually gone by this time, looking around though there’s clearly no one else around. “In the gym downstairs I believe” Now she holds another spoon to Angel who leans forward little mouth parted in an O. “Alright thank you, I’ll go shower quickly and be right back” I lean down, dropping kisses on the children's heads before hurrying back. It’s afternoon, Niko having left after kissing the children goodbye. His eyes lingered on mine as he leaned down to brush a kiss on my cheeks before leaving. Father

I lay on the exam table after having done the usual check-up on the twins, it’s my turn next, I’m wearing a loose dress, in the clinic downstairs that had been converted to a full blown hospital at the time I had the kids. Every other week, Dr. Andrea comes by for check ups. It’s safe to say I’ve forgiven her for the last time, when she delivered my babies, placing them in my arms safely. I would have let bygones be even with the devil himself. I am indebted to her. She goes on asking me questions as she just does at the end of our visits. “How are you feeling?” “Better, not as tired as I used to be” Thank God for that. Taking off her gloves, she tosses them in the trash before rolling her chair back with a push. “Anything you’d like to tell me?” My eyebrow goes up as I sit up straightening my dress “Such as…?” I trailed off as I was lost. “How you’re feeling any pain during sex?” My heart jumps to my throat, trying to keep a straight face I shake my head negative. There’

“You do know you will have to expand your circle of friends?” “Hm?” “Your little coven I mean” she drawls. I sputtered, laughing “Goddess Eva, you make us sound terrible” She ignores me “While they work on keeping you informed it’s not enough, you must mingle more, it is your duty” I shrugged, unconcerned. I suppose at some point I’d have to start holding court like my aunt Sara. “Niko doesn’t like people at the house though” excluding his trusted men and cousin. “Then you will find another way, you will have to start making plans, for yourself, for the children, the younger women will come to you for advice, the older ones too, all of them will have ulterior motives, but, like it or not, you will have to entertain them, host parties and gatherings.” I close my eyes as she leans forward, a headache brimming behind my eyes. “Their children will be the next generation, not just yours, wouldn’t you rather start knowing which ones would be threats in the future?” Her brow goes up

Niko left early this morning, kissing the children and hugging me tightly. “Are you taking some men?” “A few” “Take care of yourself,” I tell him.He leans down, placing a soft kiss on my lips.“I love you,” I say to him and he kisses me again.“Text you when I land”“Okay, bye” Releaseing him, I clap my hands behind my back. Now that he’s leaving I don’t want him to go. It’s only for two days I remind myself.The moment he leaves I get to work, trying to keep busy. Telling myself he’ll be fine. Even with the tension in Chicago, he’ll be fine. And he took some men for protection.I drown myself in emails and paperwork the rest of the morning.“There’s my favorite niece” Tommy appears from behind me chucking a finger under Caela’s chin making her giggle. “She’s your only niece” I correct with a smile, then my face twist in confusion “Right?”I know Niko hadn’t been living a chaste life before we got married, but I just assumed he couldn’t have impregnated a one-night stand when he w

NIKO “What will you do?” Vincent drones on in my ear, I know he is asking about the Rizzos, Lola has been doing more than hinting at me to do something to help her cousin, my wife is nothing if not resilient when it comes to protecting those she cares about, she doesn’t understand my getting involved makes him look weak. A boss that cannot control his territory? I scoffed. The men of La Famiglia are like sharks angling for blood, at the tiniest hint of weakness, they will eat you alive. Not to mention that I don’t feel like fighting someone else’s war. She and the children are my priority, keeping them safe is all I care about. Though she seems to think he would get better given time, I didn't have the heart to tell her that brutality isn't something you learn, you either have it or you dont, and Carlos Cancio sure as hell doesn't or he would have done the needful by now. Damn it. “Should I do something?” I ask my cousin though my mind is already made. He is silent for a few se

My children live in onesies, they have several pretty outfits that were gifted to us and that I had ordered for them, but they’ve not had the opportunity to wear any so today I am definitely taking advantage of the situation. Micaela fuzzed throughout the entire process when I wear her a pretty pink princess dress, and a pair of cute matching sandals, she's almost crying by the time I’m done combing her hair, pulling it into sections, and tying it with white and pink ribbons. As she’s not used to wearing anything with excess material she keeps pulling at the dress and kicking her legs, but she looks like the cutest thing ever. I hand her off to Maria while I get to dressing Angelo. I dressed him in a white cotton shirt with a black bowtie at the front and a black pair of shorts. White shoes and were good to go after a hair comb. “Should we go show Sebby how cute you’re looking today?” I put them in the back of the SUV, ensuring they were comfortable, then got in the front with Iva

Gianna mumbles something under her breath I dont hear. “Huh?” "I hate to be the one to say this sweetheart but you’ve stopped trying” At my dropped jaw she raised both hands in surrender “Not to say that you need it, you’re so pretty it’s annoying sometimes, you would look cute even with a sack over your head and without eyebrows, which says alot. But that doesn’t change the fact that if you dress up and look good it shows that you want to be admired and desired, and in return, the male in him would react to that. I hide my face. “Take a look at you now, you’re wearing mom jeans and a white shirt, the Lola I know, the most beautiful girl in the Italian families would never dress thus” she snapped her fingers at me. I gasped in full dramatic effect. Pointing a finger at her, “I should stop talking to you, just for that statement” Used to my antics she cackles like a witch. But I frowned. “What’s wrong with mom jeans? It’s comfy and cute” I say, looking at the light blue pair I
