Rayne's POV

I had been in Sicily now for three weeks, Rose was coming out of hospital today and my babysitting duties were now done. I wanted to see her at home and speak to her and my brother privately for a moment about the deal I struck with Mr Green and I would then be on my merry way back to Russia to see my dearest fiancée and puppy. I wandered down to the kitchen to get a snack, when I heard the joyous voice of Rose ring out,

"I'm back home. Finally." I quickly grabbed my snack, an iced coffee and a bar of dark chocolate and made my way through to the entryway where the kids were hugging their mother. Ollie stood next to me and then asked,

"What you got there sis?" I showed him my chocolate bar and he nabbed it from my hand like a child, he quickly unwrapped it and took a large bite. I rolled my eyes and shoved him, which caught him off guard and caused him to  drop the chocolate on the ground. It made a rather loud bang as it hit the marble floors and everyone's eyes were now on us. Rose made her way over to us and picked up the chocolate bar, snapped off the bit that hit the ground and handed it to Ollie and then took a bite.

"Seriously. That's both of you stealing my snack." Ollie and Rose chuckled and Rose then remarked,

"Well it's my house so its technically my snack. Sorry Raynie, but it's so much better than hospital food." I took a sip of my iced coffee and Rose eyed my coffee and held her hand out pouting, "Please Raynie I've not had iced coffee in so long." I groaned and handed her my coffee and she smiled gleefully as she took a long sip. I turned on my heels and yelled,

"Children the lot of yous."Before making my way back up to my room. I sat on my bed and crossed my legs and messaged the 'Marshall' groupchat which consisted of me, Ollie and Rayne. Whenever anything happened with dad we would message on here and would use it to plan parties and whatnot.

Rayne
Hey when you are done being children I need to speak to yous. Come to my room asap. x

Rose
On my way. Noah or no Noah?

Rayne
No Noah.

Rose
Ok, got Ollie w/ me coming now.

I opened my door and within a couple of minutes they were in my room. We all sat on the bed in a triangular formation as I started,

"So. Rose, Ollie I may or may not have signed a peace contract with Remington Green. That means that we can not attack them and they cannot attack us. If it is not obeyed then they or us have to give over the heir to the mob, in our case the Russian, not Sicilian once they are eighteen, provided they are not already at the time." Ollie sat digesting it as Rose asked,

"When did this happen? Why did this happen? How the fuck did he find you?" I took a deep breath and then responded,

"It happened about five weeks ago. Me and Illeya signed it because it gives us some safety. I've already lost so much, I am not willing to lose more because of a feud. And he had been looking for us for weeks, and then found us. He offered it because his wife is pregnant and he doesn't want the baby or her being harmed. He was very genuine and said that he was regretful of what he had done." I took a breath and Ollie then spoke up,

"I know I am not in the centre of all the mafia stuff but it seems like a good deal. Now we have a potential ally rather than enemy. Despite everything he did to you Rayne, this for the better." Rose nodded and then responded.

"I agree. Now have you been doing any wedding planning?" I flushed slightly and then remarked,

"We've done quite a bit. We're going to get married at the same church that mom and dad did. We haven't chosen a date yet but we have done little bits here and there. I picked Illeya's suit and he likes it. I've picked a theme and the reception will be held at mom and dads  house and that's about all we've done." Rose looked really excited, whereas Ollie looked a bit bored. I then just to test whether or not he was paying attention I kicked my leg out and kicked him off the bed. He fell with a loud thump and cursed me out as me and Rose laughed. We spent hours catching up and joking around, until Noah came in demanding that we give him his wife back. Claiming that we'd stolen her and hidden her away from him. It was fantastic but it was also time for me and Ollie to head to our homes. I packed my bag and called for the private jet. They were able to fly me back at midnight so I had a couple of hours to waste before I had to go to the airport.

I wandered over the corridor and knocked on Ollie's door. He muttered come in and I entered. He was sat on the bed, a packed suitcase on the floor by the bed.

"Hey, what time you flying out?" He asked.

"Midnight, you?"

"Six am tomorrow. Jasmine is gonna murder me, I just got a text of her saying that she will and this is a direct quote, divorce my ass and leave with the kids if I am not back in New York by tomorrow evening. Seriously, she is crazy when she is pregnant."  I squealed,

"Jasmine's pregnant. Why haven't you told us?" Ollie looked like he wanted to slap himself for telling me that. Ha, you did this to yourself big bro.

"She found out a couple of days ago. I was obviously here and couldn't fly back because Rose was still in hospital and we were on babysitting duties so I was waiting until I got back to tell yous. But I guess since you know I now have to tell Rose." I nodded and I then hugged him and left the room and headed downstairs. I sat in the living room, on my phone as Alessio and Dario passed me. They say down on the sofa on either side of me and then said,

"Hi aunt Rayne." I shook my head and then said,

"You boys do know that you can just call me Rayne right." They nodded and I then put my phone down and Dario then asked,

"Are you leaving soon?" I nodded and responded,

"I'll be out of this house by half past ten for my flight at midnight and then back to Russia for me." They nodded and I then asked,

"Aren't you off school for a couple of weeks now?" They nodded and I then followed it with, "Would you and any of your siblings want to come back to Russia with me, just for a week or two to give your parents some breathing space and a bit of a break whilst your mom is still recovering?"

Dario was the first to respond, "I'm in." Then Allesio responded,

"I'm in too." I couldn't help the smile that overwhelmed my lips as they then called Samatha and Antonio who were also very much so interested. Rosaline was occupied with a newborn so I figured the peace and quiet around here would be beneficial for her aswell.

I then headed up to Rose and Noah's room. I knocked on the door and then entered hearing Rose's 'come in.' Noah and Rose were lying on the bed together, watching television.

"I hope that it is okay if the triplets and Alessio come to Russia for two weeks. I've kinda offered and they all want to come." Noah looked at Rose who was slightly shocked, as she was about to respond Noah whispered in her ear and she then nodded.

"Sure, only if they can get some experience working in a normal job in that bookstore that you work in." I nodded, I'm sure Olga will be fine with that.

"And-" Noah added after Rose, " Don't give them any ideas about getting a dog and don't let them bring the dog home with them." I nodded and then thanked them and told them when we were leaving.

At ten pm, I called all the kids and checked that they had their passports and suitcases packed. And a snack for the flight. They were all ready. I reminded them to pack a charger and any other items such as headphones. They double checked everything and I then called Illeya letting him know that the kids were coming with me. He was a little bit annoyed because he wanted to get upto some naughty things when I got back but I told him that he could wait. He however agreed to my reasoning, and was ready to see them.

Noah, Rose and Ollie along with an exhausted looking Rosaline were waving for us at exactly half ten. I hugged them all and said my goodbyes and the kids said theirs and we were all on our way to their airport. I texted Illeya saying that we were at the airport and were soon on the jet and the kids were excited and I was on my way back home.

And suffice to say I couldn't wait to be home.
