ISABELLA POV:
Luca gave me this yucky medicine, but it has taken my pain away. But now sleepy.
I start to nod off.

"Principessa, you can't sleep yet you need some food"
I look and see him holding a tray with a bowl on it? He places it gently onto my lap, it looks like soup?
"Luca" I wisper as my throat is still sore.
"Yes little one"
"Why um.... its"
I look down.
He gently lifts my head to look at him, his eyes look confused.
"I won't understand unless you tell me Principessa, do u not like tomato soup?"
"N.no its not th..that"
He smiles at me and I relax again, he won't be mad at me if I ask.
"Why is it hot?"
He looks confused, I look at Matteo and Antonio and they mirror his confused face?
"So..sorry did I s.ssay something w..wrong?"
"No Principessa, you didn't say it do anything wrong okay"
Matteo awnsered me interrupting what luca was about to say, he glares at Matteo but Matteo just grins at him.

I'm still confused? And i think they realised they hadn't answered my question yet.
"Little one, the soup is sposed to be warm"
Is it? I've never had warm food before, will it hurt? Should I ask, he didn't get mad at me so far.
"I've um, n..never had um hot.. f... food b...before, will it um h..hurt?"
Everyone looks shocked and a little angry? Did I say something wrong?
This is so hard, I dont wanna make them mad? Should I just eat it even if it hurts?
"Principessa"
I look up and see matteo and luca they had spoken at the same time, luca glares at Matteo again but he just laughs and ignored it. Matteo turns to me and smiles.

"Principessa, It won't hurt to eat warm food, as long as its not too hot okay"
I smile, he is so kind to me and he brought me food so he must be a good person.

"Okay, t.tthank you teo"
He gives me the biggest grin I've ever seen.
"I love that nickname Principessa, you can call me Uncle Teo"
I feel my cheeks get hot, omg that was embarrassing.
I said it without thinking but im glad he liked it.
"here you are little one"
I look at luca to see him holding a spoon to my mouth.
I open up and let him feed me, I trust him and my eyes widen, it's soo good, it dosnt hurt at all.
"Luca it's soo yummy"
He smiles at me and feeds me more, I love this. I've never been cared for before, its new to me but I like it.

They all chuckled at me, I pout its not funny?
"If you think that's yummy your gonna love mama's cooking"
Matteo laughs at what luca said.
"Whos mama?"
"Thats mine and Matteos mother Principessa"
Ohh okay, yeah i should of guessed when he called her mama.....wait a second their brother's!!?

I look between them and see the similarities, how didnt I noticed before?
"Principessa can we ask some questions once you have finished eating please"
I freeze, what do they want to know? What if I tell them and they think I'm disgusting, what if they don't want me here anymore?
"Its okay little one, you don't have to awnser if your not ready or comfortable, we just want to get to know you better"
I sigh in relief, I dont have to awnser if I don't wanna.
"Okay"
"Thank you Principessa"

They all smile at me, even Antonio. He is very quiet but I can understand that I don't like talking much either.
Luca feeds me more soup, but I've barely eaten half and my tummy full.
"I'm f..full"
They all frown but don't say anything, thank goodness.

Matteo cleans everything up and luca makes me drink lots of water. They are so kind.
"Little one are you ready?"
Luca holds my hand in his, its so big compared to my small hand I love it.
"Yes" I wisper looking at our hands.
"How old are you Principessa"
I'm look up shocked? I thought he'd ask why I was running and hurt? This is easier than I thought.
"I'm t..ten"
They looked shocked, I know I'm small for my age but shesh I'm not that small, right?
"Omg princess, I thought you were 6 or 7"
I look at Matteo in shock, do I really look that young?
"Whens you're birthday little one?"
I look back a luca and smile, no ones asked me when my birthday is before, I tend to forget as I've never celebrated it.
"19th November"
"Your birthday is in a few weeks Principessa, were gonna have lots of fun celebrating it together"
I feel tears sting and run down my face, no ones ever been so kind. They want me to stay till my birthday? And they wanna celebrate it?

"Why are you crying little one"
Luca asked while glaring at Matteo, he likes to glare alot. I giggle.
They all look confused now as I'm crying and giggling, hell I'd be confused too.
"S..sorry, its just n..no ones ever wanted m..me and I...I've never h...had a birthday b..before"
They all look shocked and a little angry.
"Dont cry Principessa, we will celebrate your birthday every year"
That makes me cry even more.
"Matteo stop making her cry"
Luca hits him on the back of the head making me giggling while crying? They want me to stay for years? They want me forever?
"Y..you w..want me?"
I'm confused but I feel so happy when Matteo said that, I feel loved. I've never been loved before.
"Of course Principessa, your family now"
I look at luca in shock, he wants to be my family? He wants me in his family, is that why Matteo wanted me to call him uncle.
Do I call luca uncle too?

I cant take it anymore and jump into lucas arms, I'm so happy.
"Be careful little one you could hurt yourself"
Luca trys to lie me back down but im not having it, I grip him tighter.
"thank you, thank you , thank you"
I cant believe it, I know i shouldn't trust the this fast but I cant help it I feel complete, happy and safe.
"No need to thank us Principessa, I cant wait to be your favourite uncle"
Matteo has a big grin on his face and I was surprised when Antonio spoke.
"How do u know she won't like me better, hmm teo?"
"Don't call me that only my Principessa can call me teo"
I look between them, its funny seeing them arguing slightly over me.
"Little one are you okay"
I sit up and look at luca with the biggest smile on my face ever.
"I'm good uncle luca"
He frowns at me, oh no did I upset him?
Does he not like me anymore as I'm not listening to him?
He smiles at me, thank God hes not mad at me.
"Dont call me Uncle little one, I'd rather you call me daddy"
