Lorenzo POV
(5 hours ago)
I close my computer and I sigh, another of my shipments was stolen by who, I don't know. I'm still investigating, but this is the fourth one this month. My phone rings but I don't want answer but it's my personal phone so I answer.
"Hello, is this Lorenzo Romano", says a male person.
"Yes, who is this?", I ask, massaging my temple.
"I'm officer Smith, I'm calling from the police station of Vail in Colorado to ask if you want to take custody of Isabella and Marcello McCallan. Their mom and step-father were found dead this morning because of driving intoxicated."
I haven't seen them in fourteen years. They were the light in our darkness. This family fell apart after they left. Dad looked for them everywhere but he couldn't find them. Laura covered her tracks well. I can feel the the tears threatening to come out.
"Um... Sir, are you?", says the officer, snapping out of my thoughts.
"Yes, I would like to take in", I say to the officer, not caring if I sound happy. My babies are coming back after so many years of looking for them.
I walk out of the office and start heading home to tell my brothers the exciting news. They'll be excited to the news.

"Boys, I have some important news to tell y'all", I shout, walking to the living room.
I wait in the living room for a couple of seconds, the first one to come down is Toby, Liam, Xander, and lastly Xavier.
"What is this dumb meeting about? I was sleeping so can you speed things up, I have to go back to sleep.", says Xavier. This kid, the nerve of him to say that.
"Who even sleeps at 3 in the afternoon", says his Xander, sitting in the chair.
"Can y'all shut up already?", I yell. " As I was saying, Isabella and Marcello have been found and they're coming to live with us."
"Are serious, i nostri piccoli bambini are coming back after so many years", said Toby.
(Translation: Our little babies)
"It's not safe for them to come back, we're in the mafia and they're just going to be target for something they don't know about.", says Xavier. "It's dumb to have them here, what do you thing they're going to be like when they here we're in the mafia. They're not going to be like okay, they're going to freak out and be scared of us."
"Xavier", I say coldly. "Watch. What. You. Say. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, whatever but don't say I didn't warn you", he says walking upstairs to his room.
I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. "Okay Toby, I need to go get them and the rest of us will fix there rooms okay."
"I understand.", he says leaving.

Tobias POV
(Present time)
When I saw them, I was overjoyed. I haven't seen them in 15 years. Isabella has Laura light brown hair and dad's dark blue eyes. Marcello's had dad's black and light blue eyes. They are both so grown up and so adorable but their expression isn't something 16 year olds should have, they should look happy but they look cold.
I wonder why Isabella was limping when we were walking and it looks like Marcello doesn't want her to walk a lot. What could have happened.
Marcello doesn't let anybody near Isabella, which I think is good because boys don't get near her. Also Marcello doesn't talk much unless it involves Isabella. That look he gave me earlier was scary as hell. Isabella is the one who does most of the talking, but the one that gets trouble more. According to the principal, they both are passing their classes with A's but they skip a lot of the time.
"You know it's rude to stare", says Isabella, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Oh, sorry didn't know.", I whisper. Something about her that just yells queen. I reminds me a lot like Lorenzo. With one word he can shut up everyone, I wonder if she can do the same thing.
She doesn't say anything and looks out the window. I wonder how she's not sleepy, Marcello is asleep with his head on Isabella's lap. Cute.
"How was your life like with Laura", I asked.
I could have swore that I just saw her flinch when I said that but maybe I just imagined it, who knows?
"It was um... good. She was nice and so was our stepdad John", she says. I'm glad they were good to them, even if she was a good mom to us. That's good but when the principal said that they died they didn't look sad or even crying, they almost looked happy and relieved even.
"I-", I say before I'm cut off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived to our destination", says our pilot.
Talk about worse timing.
I see Isabella waking up Marcello. He wakes up being a little confused but then I guess he remembered what happened. He gets up from her lap and stands up and holds up her hand to help her up.
We all get off the plane and into the SUV. I take out my phone and text the family group chat.
Me: We're already landed.
Enzo: Okay, their rooms are done.
Liam: I can't wait to meet them
I put my phone away and start the car. As I'm driving I notice they don't just speak English, I wonder if they speak Italian.
"Do y'all know how to speak Italian?", I ask them, looking at them through the mirror.
"No, we don't, we just speak English and Greek.", says Isabella, in a monotone voice.
"Oh, okay", I say.
I'm a little disappointed that they don't know but they can learn. I'm sure Enzo will teach them.
I try to ask them questions again but Isabella just gives me short answers. So I give up again and Marcello didn't talk at all.
After 37 minutes we finally made it home.
"Kids, we're home", I say.
