Rose's POV

A month later

I was cradling Rayne in my arms, she slightly squirmed, she had on a cute little white onesie that said 'dear Santa please forgive me'. She quickly calmed down and I placed her back in her crib. I left the room and shut the door quietly. I wandered downstairs and saw Eva rattling presents that were under the tree, they were all fake, she placed her ear to it and shook it, in hearing nothing she began to huff. I stifled my laugh with my hand and then went down, she looked up at me, a look of guilt washed over her face. I grabbed her small hand and quietly said

"Y'know your Auntie and Uncle put those out to trick you, they are empty boxes, they are meant to show where each pile of presents goes for each person for Santa see, I pointed at each of the boxes which had each of our names on; mom dad Uncle Daniel and Uncle Oliver Ollie myself Eva and finally Ari. Eva looked at the boxes scrutinizing each one, when she saw Ari's her face lit up

"Auntie Ari is coming! She is the BEST babysitter." ouch that hurt, I thought she loved me and Ollie baby sitting her, but I mean when mom and dad would let Uncle Danny and Ari babysit us we would have the best time, Ari would get drunk and we would play a game of 'wrangle the Ariadne and make her look sober so your mom and dad don't cut my dick off and feed it to wolves'. She doesn't drink as much now according to Uncle Danny but I'm not too convinced that's the case entirely. She pulled her hand away from mine and then ran away to go find her dads. I walked from there into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee. I wandered through to the living room and slowly sipped my coffee allowing myself to think, I had way too much time on my hands now, with not needing constant training, I had too much time and dad refused to let me take a bigger role within the mafia, Ollie had made it very clear to dad that he did not want to take over, however dad was waiting for him to mature and adjust to the idea, he was so sexist sometimes. I had made my wanting to take over very clear from about 12 when I began to learn more about it, but dad was so set in the traditional ways of the mafia. I was going to have to set this straight with him. After I had finished my coffee I marched up to his office and pressed my ear against the door just to check that mom and dad weren't fucking in there. I could hear dad talking to another man, the accent and voice was so familiar. Then it stuck . . . Giovanni Valentini! What was he doing here? I opened the door quickly and saw him and his wife Elena standing next to mom and dad who were both in the office. Mom quietly stated

"Rose sweetie come in." I paced into the room and stood in between mom and dad, Elena quickly greeted me

"Its great to see you Rose. How have you been tesoro?" her accent was thick and I could tell she was not used to speaking English so I would cut her some slack, I responded sharply in Italian

"buono come avrei potuto essere. E tu?" {As good as I could have been. What about you?"}

"sono stato bene tesoro." {I've been okay sweetheart.}  I gave them a tight lipped smile as dad asked with gritted teeth 

"What are you doing in here Rose?" 

"I wanted to talk to you, but it can wait."

"Okay." He responded and kissed my cheek, as I left Elena pulled me in to a tight hug saying

"Mi sei mancato." {I missed you.}

"Mi sei mancato per." { I missed you to.} I exited the office and shut the door. 

I was sitting downstairs on my phone when there was a loud knock on the door, I slowly walked over to it when heard

"Its like minus seventy million degree's out here let me the fuck in." I chuckled softly knowing exactly who it was, I opened the door and Ari raced inside, she hugged her arms for warmth "Bloody hell kid how do you do it, its fucking freezing out there." I laughed and stated

"You grow accustomed to it with trips to Russia every year." she laughed slightly and then asked

"Same room as last time." I nodded and she headed straight up to her room. I quickly took my phone out and messaged Uncle Danny telling him that Ari was here, and less that 5 minutes later they were in from the snow with a hyperactive Eva who was repeating like a broken record

"Where's auntie Ari I wanna see auntie Ari." she ran up to me and grabbed my leg and asked

"Have you seen auntie Ari." I nodded and looked over at my uncles, they looked exhausted

"Why don't yous rest and I'll take Eva to go see Ari."

Daniel and Oliver sighed and Oliver said "Thanks Rosie, that'd be great." I grabbed Eva's hand and ran with her up to Ari's room, I knocked on the door and Ari yelled from the other the other side

"Come in!" Just by her tone of voice I could tell she was disinterested, but all that changed when Eva bounded through the door, she jumped at Ari and Ari caught her in a tight hug asking

"How's my little munchkin?"

"Good!" Eva responded, I stood there, my jaw hung open and still, this was not the same Ari, I knew her for years and if I tried to talk to her she would turn and walk in the other direction. I was shocked, 

"What are you staring at!" She snapped at me and I shook my head and walked out of her room saying

"What the actual fuck just happened." Uncle Danny told me that she'd changed but not this much wow. I was fucking stunned. I wandered into Ollie's room and he was sat on his phone, I tapped his shoulder and said quietly "Ari has changed so much. . ."

"What do you mean?" He asked and I just shook my head

"She picked Eva up, called her munchkin and went from disinterested to happy in a matter of seconds."

"That's a fucking miracle, how has rehab changed her that much?"

"I have no clue Ollie I really don't." I took a seat on his bed next to him and he was watching the video of mom and dad, we both laughed and then began to talk for a few hours the main topic though was about his school again and I left him with

"If you become a FUCKBOY I swear to fucking god I will shoot your dick off okay."

"Jesus Rosie that's a bit extreme but I wont."

"A bit extreme, if you do become a FUCKBOY I am the least of your worries, I would be more concerned about mom."

"Okay! Okay I get it stop it with the threats now." He responded and I wandered out of the room and down to the kitchen, where Elena and mom sat having a conversation, mom ushered me over and said

"Your father wants to talk to you he is in his office."

"Thanks mom, see you later."

"Bye sweetheart." She responded and I walked up to dads office, I took a deep breath and then said to myself

"Breathe Rose your just going to stand up to your father nothing you haven't done before." With that I opened the door and headed inside.
