"Baba why don't du like wain?" I look at Beatrice her tiny hand in mine as we stand on the porch. The sound of the thunder in the distance and the gentle rain drops remind me of the dark days. The way my father would beat me, all the times I would s...
As predicted here we are. Awaiting the arrival of the rest of our family. Once I placed the order for the bullet proof vest, Ricardo called me no more then fifteen minutes later asking what it was for, so I had to explain everything that has happend in the past few weeks and of course they wanted to meet her.
So now we are all waiting for the arrival for Ricardo's family and Carena's family. Now Carena only has one brother who has a wife and two sons but my family on the other hand...
Well I am the oldest of five and all four of my brothers had boys. I swear it's like a curse or somthing and everyone has been girl deprived for quite awhile. All of us know that Beatrice is going to get smothered with love and admiration. "Bice, baby come here so I can do your hair!" Carena calls from the other room. I watch as beatrice walks out wearing a stunning summer dress her hair down in it's natural curly state.
"Carena amore." I say as I walk into the living room. "Her hair looks beautiful down. Please leave it down." I see Beatrice's eyes light up as she nods repeditly. Carena huffs and runs her hand through Beatrice's hair before throwing her head back and nodding in approval.
"Okay but if you are playing outside. Which I know you are, then let me put it up in a bun."
"Otay Mama." Beatrice gives Carena a kiss on the cheek before running off, proberly to go find the boys or Lizzie. I look back at Carena who is pouting her bottom lip pursed. I open my arms and chuckle under my breath as she comes trodding over, falling into my arms.
"Why are you so tense amore?" I whisper into her hair, running my hand up and down her back.
"Beccaause Lorenzo." She drags out like a child. "This a big moment for us, for Bice and I want her to look and feel the best." I shake my head and kiss her forehead. Before pulling away, rubbing her shoulder.
"She will be fine Carena. Besides we all know that they are all going to love her." That was the pure fucking truth. Carena sighs before giggling.
"I know and that's the problem. Thay might never give my baby back." We both break out in a fit of laughter just as the doorbell rings and the whole house goes silent. Bice, Gio, and Alesso all entering the living room.
"Hey open the god damn door! Lorenzo I want to see the angelo." A muffled Ricardo comes from behind the door. All of us trying to stiffle our laughter as his wife Lucy reponds.
"Shut your mouth! Before you scare the poor dear and I'm not having you mess this up for me. Got it boys!" They all respond in a 'yes mam' before Lizzie goes to open the door. All fifteen family members pouring in and in a crowd of greetings and coat hangers. I was just about to take Ricardo's coat when I felt someone pull at my pants. I look down seeing Beatrice herself, looking terrified.
"En-Enzo." She wimpers the whole room going silent as I pick her up. Bice snuggling into the crook of my shoulder.
"Everyone I would like you to meet Beatrice."
~Bice~
I won't wike da people. People are aways mean to me. No matter what I say or do. I hold onto Enzo's coat, scared. Dey wook nice but...Father was nice once too but ten he gets angwy, always after he drinks da funny juice. I feel somone tap my shoulder as I shwe peak up wooking at Awesso and Gio both of tem smiling.
"Hey princess this is your family. No need to be scared." I turn my head to da rest of da scary group, confused. But Mama, Gio, Awesso, and Enzo are my family and dey are too. How many are dere? I lean over to Enzo and whisper in his ear.
"Enzo, I have a question." I see everyone chuckle a wittle, I won't know why though.
"Si, angelo." Enzo responds. His voice airy and happy. So now I'm happy.
"If Mama is Mama," I point to Mama then at Gio and Awesso. "And Gio and Awesso and my brothers. Den I point to Enzo. "And you are Pa-Enzo," I see his face droop a bit. Oh No! I did somthing wrong again didn't I.
"Keep talking angelo." I nod, smiling at Enzo.
"Den who are dey?" I see a lady walk up. She had bright wed hair and big bwue eyes. She was weawy pwetty wike Mama, Mama is weawy pwetty.
"I'm your aunt princess and that is your uncle and cousins." She points to everyone else behind her. As I nod but still wooking at her pwetty eyes.
"I wike your eyes." I blurt out. I won't know why I said dat but I did. I hope she doesn't get angwy at me. Pw-Pwease won't be angwy. I screw my eyes shut but open one when I hear giggling. It's da lady she is laughing, Why? Is she angwy, Father laughs when he is angwy, sometimes but she doesn't wook angwy? I am so vewy confused.
"Thank you adorable." She mumbles through all of her nice laughing. "I'm glad you like my eyes but I like your eyes better." I wook a her my eyebrows furrowed. Her eyes are WAAYY prettier ten mine.
"No der not, mine are just bwown yours are wike cornflower bwue, the hue of da most magical things on earth, da sea, da sky, and gems." I see everyone wook at me shocked and for da 100th time today, I'm confused.
"Di-Did I do somthing wrong?" I ask scared. The nice lady shaking her head and holding out her arms and I slowly fall into tem.
"No sweetie you did nothing wrong...you just....well you amazed us!"
