Be Confident Enough To Accept
Gemma:
Today Lucian and I have to sing. He's gave me his laptop over the weekend after our extracurricular activities; so I can listen to his music. In his words I need to be educated. He could have easily just sent me his playlist and I could have listened to it on my own laptop. I just think this is his way of spending time with me. Today our music class is in the theatre room. The stage is big enough for the class to perform. The teacher let us have whoever we wanted to help with instruments. But we still have to be the ones doing the bloody vocals. Lucian picks Kane for drums. In all honesty he is killer on those things.
Doesn't help he's fine as hell either.
I mean I can see why girls fall at his feet. They also fall at my brothers' feet but ewww.
Nope.
However, Kane isn't ewww. He's like a walking God.
Most definitely!
My pick is Leonardo on the bass. Because why not? Leonardo can play any instrument with perfection. We thought it is obvious to have Vincent on the guitar. I mean one of my triplet brothers is on one instrument. Why not the other? Lucian is also playing the guitar while singing with me. I, however, can't play any instrument. Lucian and the rest of my brothers tell me constantly that they'd teach me. Honestly, I can't wait. I hope I'm great at them like they are. The teacher calls for Lucian and I to get on stage. Maximus and Alonzo are in the crowd of students. Some of the other classes are in here as well. Meaning the teachers don't give a crap about their studies for the day. It also means Luke and Alex is in the room somewhere as well. I glance around and I spot all our brothers in the crowded room. Each has their phones out ready to record. I spot the twins as well. They are next to Alonzo and Maximus.
Please don't use this to embarrass me!
I turn to face Lucian like I done the times before with Vincent and Leonardo. The drums and guitars start. And when it comes time to sing, Lucian's part is up first.
"Never feared for anything. Never shamed but never free. A life that healed the broken heart with all that it could. Lived a life so endlessly. Saw beyond what others see. I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could." Lucian's voice is so raw. So full of emotion. It makes your eyes tear up and your throat close up.
"Will you stay?
Will you stay forever?" His voice gets a little louder. His voice demands attention. A lot of it actually!
"How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned. Place and time always on my mind. I have so much to say but you're so far away." Our voices fill the theater room. Our voices harmonize well with one another. My part is coming up and I don't know if I'm ready for this crap. Lucian already has me in my mood. Where I want to hug my brother and cry with him. Or punch him in the eye. Either or works perfectly fine for me.
"Plans of what our futures hold. Foolish lies of growin' old. It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold. A final song, a last request. A perfect chapter laid to rest. Now and then I try to find a place in my mind." My voice is soft at first than goes raspy. You can tell my emotions are pouring out into my voice. Eternally though, I want to strangle Lucian right now.
"Where you stay.
Where you stay forever." My voice is now softer than before.
"How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned. Place and time always on my mind. I have so much to say but you're so far away." Our voices once again mesh well together. Lucian's powerful voice doesn't drown out my softer one.
"Sleep tight, I'm not afraid. The ones that we love are here with me. Lay away a place for me." Lucian voice gets softer. Which is surprising. Considering his voice is so demanding. So full of emotions. So raw. How does he get it voice to do that?!
"Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way to live eternally." My once soft voice got louder and louder with each word. Now my voice is demanding attention.... I see what he just did. Sly wanker.
"How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned. Place and time always on my mind." Lucian voice rings out louder than the music.
"And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay. When I have so much to say and you're so far away." My voice got slightly lower and quite softer as I go. Which catches Lucian off guard. No sir. You're going to be the star of this show. Not I. Lucian turns and faces me. We're staring into each other's eyes. I swear it's like he's trying to stare into my soul. As for me, I'm trying to reach his soul.
"I love you, you were ready. The pain is strong and urges rise." I sing with all my emotions I could must. Hoping Lucian can get my hidden message. I wander if he knows I am singing this part just for him. That is the main reason I wanted this one part in the whole bloody song. I never cared for what parts I honestly got but those two line were and are mine.
"But I'll see you when He lets me. Your pain is gone, your hands untied." Just like I am pouring my emotions. So is Lucian. Like he is trying to convey a message to me. Like he is trying to make his message reach my soul. He pick up this part of the song like I had with the one part I truly wanted.
"So far away." I sing softer.
"And I need you to know." Lucian's voice was louder.
"So far away." My voice got smaller.
"And I need you to, need you to know." Lucian's voice got even more raspy and more raw than before.
The song ends and we continue to stare at each other. I don't give him time to place his guitar on the stand. He drops his guitar from his hands and it dangles from his strap. I leap into my brother's arms and hug the life out of him. Hoping he truly got my actions and my words. I love you Lucian. I'll always be by your side through the ups and the downs. You aren't alone. Lucian hugs me just as tight. He does his bow with me still latched onto him. My hair falls onto the stage and all I could do is honestly laugh. The students are cheering and clapping like crazy. Some have tears in their eyes while others are full on crying. As soon as we pull up to our driveway Alonzo, Maximus, Luke, and Alex run into the house. Maximus connects his phone to the tv as we enter the front door. Alonzo is screaming at our family.
"You guys have to see this shit."
"Language!" Matteo yells from the stairs.
"Shut up and get flicking down here and watch!" Maximus yells.
Our whole family is downstairs and as soon as we make it into the main room. Our voices filled the room. When it gets to the end where I leap onto Lucian. The room started to chuckle. When Lucian bows, the room went into an eruption of laughter.
"It is beautiful." Val says with a smile.
"You two have done so damn wonderful." Dad says.
"They put their emotions and all in it." Julian says with a slight smile.
"Why do I have the feeling those last two parts. They were singing for each other. Like they were trying to get the message out." Renzo states.
"I was about to say the same thing." Matteo says.
"I third that." Nikolai says.
"Because I was." Lucian and I say at the same time.
We looked at each other with big eyes.
What?!

Gemma:
Lucian and I have been getting along well. Which is surprising! I have been slowly adjusting to my life here. I still annoy all my brothers. Like today. They're going to strangle me but what can I say? I like to annoy my brothers with my clinginess, my pranks, or well by just being me. That won't change. They all have been busy all week and all last week. All I want is a bloody family night. Like the ones we used to have growing up and the ones we slowly started to do recently. You're probably wandering what have I done now to have them want to strangle me...
Simple.
I done some pranks while they were out and about.
Renzo like being in his office all day and all night. So, I had his locks changed. You're probably wandering. If Matteo has a secret entrance to his office wouldn't Renzo. Yes, he does. I just so happened to move his table against his bookshelf. Can't open it if it won't slide to the right. Matteo stays in his office as well. I happen to loosen the legs to his chair. He doesn't sit on his couch or anywhere while he works. It has to be his chair. Not exactly the best but it will do. Nikolai likes to work out. Can't lift weights if I have the guards place them in the closet. I just so happened to change the codes to the closet. Valentino is always in his lab. So, anytime he types on his keyboard. Or any machine goes off. The speakers in his lab will start to blare....
"Warning! Warning!"
Over and over again.
Julian likes to fight. So, I just done what I did to Nikolai, changed the codes get into the room where the ring happens to be. Still not the best but again it'll do for now. Alonzo, Gianni and Maximus like to race. Uncle Luciano and Uncle Galileo has taken all their cars into Uncle Luciano's extra garage. Again. I know it's mean but those three have the brain the size of a pen head. Just text Luke or Alex. They'll tell you if the cars are there or not. Leonardo and Vincent always play their games or stay on their computers. So, I decided to take all the cords and hide them in our storage closet that has yet again...
A code.
That I happened to change.
Lucian.
Sweet Lucian.
You see, Lucian really doesn't do anything like the others. I mean he races every now and then and fights every now and then. But, lately he hasn't been doing either one of those. So, I had to think outside the box. He always goes into his room, takes a wee, then comes down and goes into the kitchen. Every damn day. So, I put Saran Wrap on his toilet seat. I made sure it is extra tight so it wouldn't be noticeable. You're probably thinking what if he has to shit? He doesn't. He always takes a wee when he comes home. Before he goes to bed, he takes his shit. Always before he goes to bed. Like does he hold his shit in until bedtime? I don't know. If he does. Wouldn't that hurt?! You would think so, right?
Why does he always take a wee in his room when he comes through the doors?
Again, I have no damn clue.
Odd creature I know.
This odd creature has an odd habits. Always the same habits every day. You're probably thinking what the codes are. Simple they use 1234. Therefore, I changed each code to their birth years. Again, they all aren't the brightest tool in the shed. I'm currently just chilling in the media room with all our snacks and drinks out. Because they'll be coming in here ready to kill me. Waiting for my brothers to come home. Call me immature. I don't give two ducks asses. I want to spend time with my brothers today.
Not tomorrow.
Or next week.
Today!
I hear Renzo and Matteo come in the front door. I should be able to hear everything. Considering. Lucian's room is on the same floor as their offices. The gym. The ring. Val's lab? Simple. I have his lab wired. I can see and hear everything that goes on down there through my laptop. The garage? Easy.
They'll come upstairs freaking out about their cars being missing. Dad? He was my assistant that helped me set up all the pranks. He's actually going to record each one for me. Dad's just as immature as I am. I get it from my daddy. What can I say?
"What the fuck!? I can't get into my bloody office!"
"Just come to mine and do your work in there."
Moments later I hear a crashing sound and dad's laughter.
"Son of a bitch!"
"Language!" I yell out from my spot. Dad's laughter gets even louder.
"GEMMA!" They both scream from Matteo's office.
It sounds like herd of elephants. As soon as both boys and dad come into the media room. My brothers have a look to kill while I have my sweet and innocent look on my face.
"What?" I ask sweetly.
"Why?!" Renzo yells.
"Come sit. You'll soon find out." I tell them.
They reluctantly take a seat in their chairs. Well, Matteo kicks his to make sure it wasn't a trap. I give him a questioning look and he gives a sheepish smile.
"Had to make sure it wasn't a trap." Matteo sheepishly says.
"Where the fuck are my weight!"
"Language!" I laugh out.
"GEM! YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!"
"I think I will stay where I am. Thanks though!" I yell back.
It sounded like a bull in a China shop. Nikolai is bouncing off the walls. I don't move a muscle. My two brothers look at me with a smirk. Nikolai comes barreling into the room and before he can even lecture me. He notices everyone in the media room and has a surprised look on his face.
"What did you do to Renzo and Matteo?" Nikolai asks while glancing at our brothers.
"You'll find out soon. Come." I say while motioning for my brother to come sit. As soon as Nikolai sits down we hear a loud thud.
"Ouch! What kind of bullshit is this?" Julian yells.
Julian must have run into the door.
Oops!
"Language!" Matteo yells out.
It sounds like a stomping horse coming down the hallway. Julian comes into our sights holding his nose.
"SORELLA! YOU BROKE MY NOSE.!" Julian whines.
"Technically the door broke it. Come sit." I laugh at my brother, who's holding his nose.
I glance at my laptop and see Valley is in his lab already. I turn the volume up on my laptop and connected it to the screen.
"Warning. Warning. Warning."
"Warning."
"Warning."
"Get this thing to shut up."
"Warning."
"For the land of the unholy!"
"Warning."
Everyone in the media room is bursting into laughter.
"What did you do Gem." Julian says in a pained voice.
"He's so going to kill you." Renzo laughs out.
"He will not. I'm his favorite!" I say with a smug smile.
"GEMMA ALEXANDRA ROSSI!!!!!!"
"Shoot! He's going to kill me."
"We told you!" All my brothers say in between their laughter.
Seconds later Valley comes storming in.... I didn't even hear his quiet footsteps! Hell, I didn't even see him exit his fucking lab!
Pissed..
"Come sit. I will fix it later. I promise." I tell my brother with my hands up in surrender.
"The last three will be hilarious." Dad says.
"You helped her?" My brothers yell.
"Anything for my princess." Dad says with a cocky smirk.
"Our cars!"
"Who took my baby?"
"Who stole my car!?"
"Gemma what did you do?" Matteo questions.
"Our uncles placed them in Luciano's garage. They're safe." I answer with the shrug of my shoulders. It sounded like damn walruses running up the stairs.
Bloody walruses!
"Our cars Gemma! Our cars!" All three yell.
"You'll get them back in a minute. Take a seat." I tell my hotheaded brothers. Not even five minutes later we hear my triple womb mates screaming.
"Where the bloody hell are my cords?!"
"Your cords? Where the fuck are mine?" Again, two thirds of the triplets come barreling into the room. Pissed. Fuming pissed. Worse than damn Valley! Everyone looks over at me and I just shrug my shoulders.
"Gemmie! Give us back our cords!" They scream.
"In a minute. Take a chill pill and sit. We're waiting on one more brother!" I tell my brothers. Lucian comes home ten minutes later.
"Ahhh!"
"I'm going to kill you, Gem!"
"What did you do?" Renzo asks.
Lucian comes walking into the media room looking like he has been hit with a firehose. He scans the room and spots me. I shrink into my seat hiding into Valley's side. If looks could kill, I'd be swimming with the sharks.
"I'm going to strangle you!" Lucian yells.
"First take a shower!" I yell. I sprint like flash behind dad.
"Shower now. Seat later." I yell from behind dad's back. Lucian with a look to still kill storms off to God knows where. Preferably to take a damn shower.
"What the?" Nikolai says confused.
"Why does he look like he's been hit with a hose?" Matteo laughs out.
"Why does he smell like piss.?" Julian questions.
"Because I Saran Wrapped his toilet seat." I answer back.
"Again!?" Leonardo laughs out. All I can do is shrug my shoulders. Thirty minutes later Lucian comes walking back in the media room.
"Okay! So?" Renzo suddenly says.
"What's the meaning of this?" Julian questions.
"Family night." I say while holding in my laughter.
"All of this for family night?" Leonardo growls.
"My chair."
"My office."
"Our cars."
"Our wires."
"My nose!"
"The gym!!"
"The voices!!!"
"Fucking piss in my mouth!"
"Okay Lucian wins the cake on that." Dad laughs out.
"What? When I ask everyone for family night; you all are too caught up doing other stuff." I say while batting my lashes. Attempting to look innocent and sweet.
"Fine! What are we watching." Lucian asks.
"Pirates of the Caribbean!" I yell.
Hours later, I believe dad regrets helping me. Our dad is ready to kill of us.
Not one.
Not two.
Not four.
But all of his children.
"Oi! Fishface!" Lucian yells.
"Lose something?" Leonardo screams.
"Eh? Scungilli!" Vincent laughs out.
"Got it!" Matteo and Renzo say.
"Come to negotiate, eh?" Julian laughs because Lucian was shaking his rear.
"Have you, you slimy git?" Maximus wheezes out.
"Look what I got." Gianni yells.
"I got a jar of dirt," Alonzo sings.
"I got a jar of dirt, " Valentino and Nikolai sings.
"and guess what's inside it!" I screech.
"Dirt?" My dad deadpans.
All my brothers burst into laughter.
"Yes dad. Dirt." Renzo says.
We watch several more movies but somehow, we all managed to sleep in the media room. I am cuddled up in between Lucian and Valentino. I wake up to a bloody foot in my face. Which causes me to scream. Lucian hits his head on the table. Shouldn't have slept halfway under it. With your nasty foot in my face.
"What the hell Gemma?"
"That's what you get fishface!" Dad yells out.
All I could do was burst into laughter.
What the hell dad?!
