"So I'll have Alicia and Junior for a week, I'm taking them to the Disney Land resort," Teresa says as I look at her nervously 

I haven't had my daughter away from me for more than a day since she was born, I hear a loud crash upstairs and I already know the culprits, 

"Alessandro Mariana Russo and Alicia Gabriella Russo get your butts down here now!" I yell and I soon hear their footsteps running towards me. 

"What was that!?" I ask folding my arms 

"Nuffing," Alicia says hiding behind Junior,

"Alicia come here," I say and she doesn't move "Here, come here," I repeat, she runs by me into her dad's arms hiding her face in his neck. He rubs her back telling her she's not in trouble and I roll my eyes. 

"Junior," come here I say crouching to his level as he steps forward

"You guys have to be careful when you're playing ok, you can hit yourself badly, you have a while playroom stop running around the house ok? please for me?" I ask smiling at him and he nods wrapping his arms around my neck

"I'm sorry," he mumbles into my neck and I whisper its ok. 

"Are you sure you can handle these two," I ask Teresa worried

"Oh, of course, they're Angels with me," she says smiling at them.

"Ok," I nod sighing. Giovanni grabs the suitcases and bags we packed for Alicia and Junior placing them in the car. I facetime Sandro who's already in Italy waiting for us to arrive and he says bye to his son reminding him to behave and look out for his cousin. 

Once they're both buckled into the car I walk over to Alicia's car seat and hug her tickling her side a bit making her squirm, "You know mommy loves you more than anything right?" I say to her and she nods smiling. "Be a good girl for mommy ok," I say to her 

"Okay mommy," she says nodding, her messy curls flopping. I pucker my lips and she places a kiss on them, I step away feeling tears form in my eyes, Teresa rolls down the windows, and Alicia waves to her father, 

"Bye daddy," she squeals happily 

"I love you, princess, see you soon," he says as they pull out the driveway. I look at him to see a tear in his eye as well,

"Is the big bad Giovanni Russo crying?" I tease poking him

"Oh hush crybaby, let's go we have a plane to catch," he says leading me to our already loaded car. 

We pull out the gates heading towards the private airport where our plane awaits. We board the plane and I sit there nervously as we begin flying. 

"What's wrong?" Giovanni asks placing his hand on mines,

"I'm just nervous I guess, haven't been around any mafia business for a while and Alicia's so far away," I say sighing 

"I understand mi amore but it's been too long since I showed my face, I must remind everyone of who's in charge," he says and I nod

"Let's just hope this goes well," I say to him

"Do you still want to be introduced as my wife to everyone officially?" he asks me and I look at him quickly

"Yeah of course why wouldn't I want to? Do you not want people to know?" I ask suddenly feeling insecure. 

"Mama, don't even doubt I'd want the world to know how much I love you, but letting the mafia know could make you a target again," he tells me
