Joy

Nervously fiddling my fingers around as my anxiety starts to kick in on over drive glancing around to see eveyone seem pretty relaxed but as for me I'm just excited and nervous about seeing my mom feeling his lips press on my cheek softly causes my anxiety to just wash away instantly smiling grabbing his hand giving it on light squeeze he chuckles as he leans his head on mine causing my heart to flutter truthfully these small things that he does makes my day, the door opens up causing all of us to look over towards the kitchen my eyes grow wide a little seeing my mom walking in the door along with my father as they hold hands looking at each other smiling like they never been apart ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to see.

Tears slide down my cheeks watching my parents happy turning around he looks at me concerned as he wipes my tears away "I'm happy" saying he looks at me for a moment until he pulls me into his chest as soft sods threaten to escape my pressed lips he softly rubs my back I'm not upset about this I'm happy I've always wanting my parents to work things out so we could be a family again, then something hits me remembering what my father told me that my mom knew about this whole thing pulling away feeling some anger rising he looks at me shaking his head innocently smiling but he's not fooled he knows me way too well shaking my head cursing myself honestly I should have know better than to fool him.

Glancing over towards the kitchen to see my parents acting like teenagers my jaw drops little causing both Layla an Aurora to laugh hysterically at me glaring at them they both flip me off an continue to laugh shaking my head in total disbelief standing up quickly making my way towards the hallway to only be stopped by my uncle Rosco he rasies his eyebrow "Them" saying pointing towards the kitchen where my parents are at honestly it's a little embarrassing, my uncle Rosco nods his head slowly stepping aside for me to continue down the hallway hearing footsteps coming behind me glancing over my shoulder seeing my sweetboy right behind me trying his best not to laugh at the situation truthfully yeah me an him do it but we don't act like that.

Walking into the room hearing him burst into laughter shaking my head slowly before crashing down on the bed sighting looking up at the ceiling trying to ease my mind some between Caleb getting a little bit braver but his so called attacks are vey sloppy then again we're not fools either we all can see right through bullshit but in away it's like a game of chess but we all plan on winning then thinking about of my parents we're acting truthfully I need a shot of vodka, feeling the bed shift a little smiling turning my head coming face to face with him he slowly glides his finger down my cheek causing my heart to flutter almost like wings the gesture is sweet yet meaningful in so many ways giggling snuggling up next to him he chuckles wrapping his arm around me kissing the top of my head softly honestly forget the vodka now he's my special kind of drug that I'm addicted to.

The moment between us is peaceful as if we were the only two people in the world my mind isn't racing aymore an the anxiety that was building up has disappeared like it was never there to begin with and that's all thanks to him it's like he knows when about to have a nervous breakdown or when I tend to overthink sitting up he looks at me smiling reaching over for my laptop turning it on he rests his chin on my shoulder he's just too cute for his own damn good, scrolling down the screen something catches my eye opening up the file my eyes grow wide as a lump forms in my throat as if it was trying to suffocate me feeling him tense up behind me from what we're seeing on the screen that Caleb is now using his brothers connections to build a team he gets off the bed an storms towards the door "Vincenzo!" he yells causing me to sigh I forget once he's mad it's best to just stay out of his way.

Grabbing my laptop walking towards the door to hear commotion coming from down the hallway as it bounces off the walls shaking my head sighing walking down the hallway Caleb is the thorn in everybody's side I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do with my parents not being together when I was a kid but something deep down tells me he had a lot to do with it the worthless bastard I truly despise him he caused has nothing but misery over the years, reaching the kitchen a pair of arms wrap around me nearly squeezing me to death "Joy" my mom cheerfully squirrels in my ear smiling leaning my head on hers noticing the happiness in her eyes now that she's got me in her arms right now after all this time apart truthfully I've missed my mom she always gives us the best advice that an she know how to make me better when I feel like I'm failing.

Guido takes my laptop from me while kissing my cheek softly before joining the guys in the other room to have a meeting shaking my head in disbelief it's like deja vu but this time it's a little different we have both my mom and Layla's grandma here with us which is quite nice actually because we need to catch up with them turning my head seeing my mom smiling at me holding out her hand giggling I know what she wants to see my gorgeous engagement ring that Guido slide on my finger the moment I said yes, placing my hand in hers she looks at my ring smiling but I can't help but notice tears slowly start to run down her cheeks without any hesitation I wrap my arms around her we both rock each other back an forth slowly sobbing honestly this moment is very meaningful for the both of us she's not losing me she's gaining a son who's wonderful.

"Mom your crying in my hair" Saying feeling hair become a little wet.

"Oh shut up ! Your hair is fine don't complain" My mom spats pulling away giving me a sturn look causing both Layla and Aurora to laugh.

"Layla... Aurora.. Now girls that's not nice but then again Joy your hair is fine, don't complain about it. We know you girls are picky when it comes to your hair" Layla's grandma says before taking a sip of her red wine.

"Grandma that wine smells almost like raspberries, yes we are thank you we get it from you two" Layla says placing her hand on her hip while Aurora nods her head.

"Anyways how have you ladies been since we've been gone? Anything new happen?" Aurora asks while my mom smiles.

"We've been fine until some little prick came along an tryed to pull shit, which ended badly for him. And nothing really we just wanted to see you girls we missed you three. Plus you three are surrounded by men you need us woman here to keep them in line" My mom stats causing us to smile.

"Oh they know not to push us to far they seen us fight an shot to bring someone down,plus we take no shit" Saying causing my mom to smirk.

"Plus my puppy soprano here gets a little bit of revenge for me every night when he snores right into Arturo's ear, little things add up once you see it that way" Layla says holding up soprano like he was boxing causing us to laugh.

"What's so funny?"My father asks as the guys walk back in the room.

"Nothing" Us woman say at the same time causing the guys to look at one another.

"Right..An the great city of Rome was built yesterday, nice try though" Mr.Axle says causing us to smile innocently.

"Oh Axle do hush us woman we're only talking about women things, you know like how their cramps have been? My granddaughters pregnancy, you know them types of thing you men like to avoid like a plague" Layla's grandma says placing her wine glass down while the guys look around.

"Not all men are like that" Guido says placing my laptop down in front of me before kissing my cheek.

"He's right not all men avoid things like that" Arturo stats wrapping his arms around Layla causing her to giggle.

"I have to agree with them, anytime the girls got on their period we made sure they were okay. An no eggs were ever cooked" Vincenzo says kissing Aurora's cheek causing her to smile.

"Well it seem Guido will be a fine son in law for us right Milo? He loves our daughter unconditionally, I'm just happy that our baby girl is happy an not upset like she was with asshole. Thank you Guido for walking back into my daughter's life, even thought they ran away from you guys. You have to admit you guys want them more once they did that, see they did listen to our advice when we said make them case after you" My mom stats while Layla's grandma nods her head causing us girls to giggle while Guido, Arturo and Vincenzo smile.

"It seems they did listen to you two, good work girls" Aurora's uncle Knoxs says causing us to laugh.

"We have to tell you all though, we'll be moving once again so get your things packed up we'll be leaving at dusk" Ray says causing everyone to sigh.

"It's all because of that worthless ass hole Caleb! Ugh you know honestly I hate him" Saying shaking my head while Aurora nods her head.

"But it will be over soon don't worry.." Aurora says looking down into her cup.

"Plus one thing everyone need to remember, we are a family" My father says pulling my mom close to him.

"I love you sunshine" He whispers in my ear causing me to blush.

"I love you to sweetboy" Whispering back causing him to smile.

"Alright let's get packed up and ready to move, the plane will be waiting for us. It's a surprise to where were headed so let's move along people, we've got a lot to pack" Vincenzo says while we all shake our heads.

"Well let's go" Saying pulling Guido's hand as my mom and both of our fathers smile.

Sighing pushing the cracked door all the way open shaking my head seeing our bags lucky we washed our clothes this morning grabbing the hamper off the chair placing on the bed so we can separate our clothes an toss them into our bags truthfully it is fun seeing all these different places but it does get a little bit tiring feeling a shirt tossed at me nodding my head glancing over at him to see him sticking his tongue out at me, giggling okay I know he's trying to lighten up the mood an it's helping alot slingshotting pair of thongs right at his face he grins holding them up as if they were a trophy shaking my head we grab pillows and start hitting each other with them like kids the entire room is filled with laughter honestly this is what counts the most us having fun.

We stop once we hear banging on the door before we knew my mom comes walking in we toss our pillow back on the bed acting innocent folding up his shirt my mom raises her eyebrow in suspicion sighing I feel I'm a teenager all over again especially when us girls had alcohol in my room drinking like normal sneaky teenagers do until my mom walked in lucky for the three of  us we hide the alcohol so we didn't get into trouble, she laughs quietly before exiting the room glancing over to him he shrugs his shoulders before placing his belongings into his bag seeing the time shaking my head we've got four hours until we have to leave yet we're rushing to pack all of our bags just to wait three hours to leave shaking my head slowly placing my last outfit into the bag "Nap" he says jumping on the bed causing me to giggle honestly an hour nap is not going to hurt us.

After setting the alarm for us he grabs my phone an places it on the stand so shaking my head giggling as he wraps his arms around me slowly tracing his tattoo on his arm causing him to smile feeling his fingertips run up an down my arm cause a tingling sensation to go down my spine it's like everything around us just comes to a halt leaning up pressing my lips on to his the kiss seems sweeter than ever almost like sugar an truthfully I wouldn't want it any other way, pulling away slowly he chuckles before kissing the top of my head gently yawning laying my head back on to his chest my eyes begin to feel heavy glancing up seeing that his eyes are already closed giggling softly little by little my own eyes close as the darkness slowly slips but the dream of our future together shines through it all no matter what we will make our future come true they all were right we are family and that last forever.
