Gregorio's staff brings the food for us. Jacqueline and Angela thank them. James tips the staff and they leave. "I am going to go get my daughters."I  walk down to the park where they sometimes go to take a break when one of them is upset.  "Maur yeah, he did a stupid move, but you still love him. Let's go back the food is there because there is the company van of Gregorio's restaurant.  MAYBE eating some of his food will give you more time to calm down.  "I am here to get you both. James was able to talk Antonio to stay after your brother and him got into it." " Angela is Tommy okay?" " Yeah just some abrasions and swollen fist. Its Antonio that got the worse of it. He's okay. Jay and his father are helping him. Jay returned when he couldn't find you.  James told him to stay out of the altercation and Jacqueline said for him to listen to his father. Everyone else stayed out of. Don't either of you get mad at Tommy. He told Antonio that he and Frankie warned him not to purposely hurt you or consequences would occur. Tommy kept his cool and told him to go back upstairs or leave because you needed time to calm down. Antonio ignored him and said with all do respect it didn't concern him.  Tommu felt different and when Antonio tried to push back and took a swing at Tommy is when he got into with Antonio. Maura he was protecting his older sister as he should."  Angela hugged me. I hugged Angela back. We walked back to the house. Maur went and used the guest room bathroom to get cleaned up. " I am sorry this occurred on a day we were celebrating a night of enjoyment. Tommy thank you for looking after me. Come with me to my office so I can examine you better."  Tommy and I hug. "Maur you may not be my blood sister but as far as of us Rizzoli's feel, you are our family. I will always continue to protect my family at any cost." Antonio came down to the office and apologized to us both. Maur I handled it all wrong. Tommy I should of never challenged you the way I did and I am sorry. Maur can you look  at my arm and my throat. Tommy got a wicked punch throat and to my gut."  Antonio and Tommy shook hands and Tommy left us alone. Antonio and I made up. He promised never to hide stuff again.Antonio's cell rang. " Yes, Gabby, I will put you on speaker." Maur I am sorry my brother acted the way he did.  His ego has always been one of his faults.  I am glad Jane's brother stepped in and kicked my brother's ass. MAYBE now he will think before he acts next time.  You two go enjoy your dinner.  Antonio you apologize to the others too. Don't make me have to fly down there and whip you too. love you big bro."  "Love you too Gabby and I shall."  "Thanks Gabby." Antonio and I entered the dining area and he apologizes to all.  "James thank you for the sound advice. "  "No problem Antonio. We all are there at one time or another.  Now lets eat this food. I  don't know what Gregorio prepared but it smells delicious."  We all grabbed a lid and removed them. " Jane Gregorio didn't spare anything." " Jay if you recall,  Maur and I our his two favorite duo. MA he was glad you brought him raviolis yourself. WHEN did you cook it? We never got any." I  made it when you all are asleep in the morning but cleaned up before you all came down for breakfast. I didn't have enough to make all of us some."
We finish eating the meal.  Antonio makes a toast.  " I know I am not perfect, but I learned today honesty out weighs all. I know I will stay make more but with you by my side as an equal we can over come anything." 
James stands up.".To the engaged couples you are still in the learning stages and their will be many more to come but its  necessary for open communication, honesty and staying equals is what will make your marriages to work. Your mothers who are here and.the ones who are not can attest to that." Angela gets up. " Agree with what James stated. You will struggle. All marriages do. Your marriage will only last if you are willing to struggle, forgive and move forward. To our families be united as one and stay strong. WHEN one of us os struggling, we need to step in an assist and put the egos aside. To Familia."  We stayed a little longer and left the trays as Gregorio asked us to. His staff would come by to pick them up which they did.  MA made her desserts and place them on top for Gregorio and his staff, labeling whose was whose.
