The Brambilla's, The Beginning

EPILOGUE: PART 1:

The boys were now around eight and ten and were typical siblings, arguing and fighting as brothers would do. Many times Eleonora had to discipline them. Sending them to their rooms and threatening to have their father deal with them. This one night during dinner they started arguing

Leone listened to them and looked over at Eleonora who was staring back at him. She was giving him that look that said he had better deal with them. He knew he had better comply or he'd be in the dog house, which meant no sex, and that he couldn't go without. He slammed his hand down on the table, causing both boys to stop fighting.

Lazaro and Anthony stopped and looked at their father, eyes wide and knew they were in trouble.

"Your mother has told me you two have been fighting a lot and it's got to stop."

"It's Anthony, he's always bugging me."

"It's not my fault you're a grumpy Gus and can't take a joke."

Leone once again slammed his hand on the table to get them to stop. "That is enough, you are brothers and need to get along. You have been driving your mother crazy so you have to be punished."

"But dad," Lazzaro said but closed his mouth when his father held up his hand.

"When you are both done eating you will gather up all the dishes and take them into the kitchen. You will then wash them and once that is done you will clean the kitchen."

"But Dad, that's not fair," Anthony said, pouting.

Leone leaned over and looked him in the eye. "For talking back you both will do it for a week and if you open your mouth again I'll make it two weeks." He looked at both of them. "So now neither one of you has anything to say. Good, now finish your meal and get busy. I'll let the kitchen staff know they have a few days off from the clean-up."

When the boys were gone Eleonora reached for his hand. "Do you think this will teach them a lesson?"

"It will teach them to learn how to work together."

"I'm not sure they will know how to clean and might end up breaking a lot of our dishes, they are just boys after all."

He smiled at her. "Dishes can be replaced. Now that our sons will be busy for some time let's go upstairs so that I can wreck that hot body of yours." Before she could answer he pulled her up and tossed her over his shoulders and upstairs to their bedroom.

Over the next few days, Leone kept an eye on them. The first couple of days they bickered, but after that, he noticed a change in them. Lazaro took charge, giving Anthony orders as to what he wanted him to do. And Anthony did them without arguing and before Leone knew it the boys were working as a team. They were even getting along better and he realized right then that Lazaro was a born leader.

It was now time to start the boys on learning to fight and defend themselves. He arranged for them to learn karate and other martial arts and self-defence lessons. When they got a little older it was time for them to use weapons. Leone, being one of the best shooters around took on that role of teacher.

One night a couple of years later after a round of hot, rough sex she laid in his arms. "Do you think the boys are old enough to learn how to use guns?"

"Lazaro is almost thirteen and Anthony is two years younger, so yes, they are ready. I learned how to use weapons when I was nine years old. Don't worry my love, I will make sure no harm comes to them."

Over the next three years, he and the boys practiced every other day and Leone was so impressed at how well they were doing. Both of his sons turned out to be great fighters and the best shooters he had ever known, even at their young age.
