This chapter will be through the twins POV. Let me know if you guys would like their POV during the disappearance of Sebastien and Gianna's reign

Angela Moretti

"Hey." I say sitting beside this man who I once knew as my brother. He was sitting there. Eyes closed. Hands on each of his knees balled up.

"How long until we get home"he asks not moving from his position as I cross my legs getting comfortable "Not long. Diamond is renovating so it'll be different once we get there."

"Oh"he said. Oh. As if he had no care. So we sat in silence until he mustered the confidence to open his eyes and meet mines. "Do you-"he pauses as I smile softly "you wanna see a picture of her. Your daughter?"I ask as he nods softly as I grab my purse and pull out the Polaroids of solei. Some of her smiling with her toothless grin. Some of her stuffing her face with food. I watch his face as I give them to him.

He's sad. His eyes well up with tears as I place a hand on his shoulder but his head falls in defeat. "She's such a happy baby. She hates sleeping alone. Most of the time she sleeps in Gianna's or my arms. Charlie's her favorite tho....she knows who you are. Gianna made sure her zia and zio's taught her about you."I tell him as he smiles before handing them back to me wiping his eyes

"She's not a monster. Right. Gianna?"he questions as I take a deep breath

"We all lost you that day. And each of us handed it differently. Some worse than others. But she's not a monster, she just did what she had to get you back"I said as he placed a hand on mines  staring forward

Never in a million years would I think, I'd see my brother like this. Like a chicken had gotten killed and all of its feathers plucked off then fried.......that's a terrible example

But that's not the point. The point was he was not the same. And we all knew that. We all accepted that. Yet still Gianna held on to that hope, all I could feel was pity for her. It's like wishing for something you know won't come true. But you keep wishing because you can't accept the fact that it won't come true.

It's mundane to think that something good could possibly come from a series of unfortunate events when in reality the worse is yet to come.

"Fuck. Say fuck"i coo while Solei stares at me eyes wide open smiling "you realize your telling a 2 month old baby to say fuck" Charlie says scolding me as he takes her from my arms

"Please. Like she can't understand me. She's an old soul."I argue in my defense as Charlie slaps me upside my head

"Your a fucking idiot." He laughed before l stood up in front of him "And your a fucking pussy. Walking around with that big ass rock in your pocket." And just as the words leave my mouth he opened his to say something but a car arrived

My heart began beating fast and my palms began to get sweaty. I was about to see my brother. In the light, not in danger or under unfortunate circumstances.

In our home.

I took Solei from Charlie's arms and stuck my tongue out at him as she did the same and made my way to the door opening it as the car doors opened and my smile dropped

"Don't worry it's just cruella and Ursula"I sigh has Gianna sticks up her middle finger as hearly does the same bringing her bags inside

"Don't taint the Child with such wickedness"I scold covering her eyes as Gianna makes her way to the stairs "I'm gonna go bath. Do you mind"she asks as I wave my hand telling her to go as I take Solei to the kitchen grabbing yogurt bits from the cabinet

"If I'm not mistaken those are for the child."hearly states yanking them from my hands as I slapped her finger taking them back

"If I'm not mistaken it cost 0$ to mind your own business sí?"I answer back as i cheer with solei popping the strawberry yogurt bites in my mouth and hers

"So how do you feel"she asks sitting besides us as I tense up. "I feel fantastic. I have my favorite yogurt melts and my favorite niece"

"She is your only niece is she not? And you know what I mean"hearly sighs standing up and walking into the pantry

"Not sure there is a particular way I am supposed to feel Hearly."I mumble before closing up the bag and scratching my neck

"I'm just sayi-"

"I am now leaving this conversation mentally and physically!" I leaned my head back on the wall and closed my eyes as the room fell silent....the fuck?

"Hearls, take Solei would you"I ask getting up wanting to get away from the weird tension in the room. Hearly slid Solei to her and walked to the play room as I sat in the kitchen

"I know it must suck"Charlie said coming out of nowhere as I took the cheese can and squirted into my mouth

"What must suck Charleston"I roll my eyes as he chuckles softly before giving me sad eyes. I knew what he was about to say. And if he did I might lose my shit. Buddie was on thin fucking ice and if he let those words come out of his mout- "constantly being reminded of the one thing you can never have"he whispered as my hand gripped the can I rose it up to chuck it at his head but the door opened

Angela and Sebastien walked in. Looking like baluk from the jungle book

"Looks like someone needs a hair cut" I laugh running towards him with open arms

My brother

My protector

The only thing I had left as a father figure.

I wanna cry as he embraces me and we hug. And for a second I don't wanna let go but the cries of his daughter- my niece breaks us apart.

At this moment I knew he was home. And nothing. And I mean nothing
Not even hell could keep us apart.

I am my brothers keeper.
