Several hours passed and I landed in Italy and took an uber to JR Studio to surprise my sister and niece.
I rang the bell and June came to the door.
Frankie you are a surprise for sore eyes.

Frankie go take a shower at my place and shave

Frankie go take a shower at my place and shave.  We are getting ready to go to pride parade to take some shots. Hurry up a helicopter is waiting to take us to Rome.
I go back upstairs with Avery and Jane packing our bags and checking our equipment.  We are going up to our business rooftop when June tells us she forgot the contact info.  June runs to get it.
Frankie come on the helicopter is waiting. 
Frankie comes with me back to the rooftop. Jane and Avery are already in the helicopter with their earmuffs on waiting for me. We get to the rooftop. I wish my camera wasn't packed. The faces on Jane and Avery's was priceless.
We get into the helicopter and Frankie hugs Jane and Avery. 
We buckle up and off to Rome.
I cannot believe you didn't tell me you were coming when I spoke to you. Jane if I did it wouldn't be a surprise now would it? Ouch that hurt. You should of told me. Dad this is going to be fun celebrating pride with you, auntie and June in Rome.  Sweetie for sure.  I think the last pride parade I went to was when your aunt was in college. We had a little too much fun.  My head hurt so much.  Frankie you threw up in my car.  I could of killed you if my head wouldn't of been throbbing.
Dad why are you here so early? I will tell you some now and the rest when we get to the cottage. Okay. The good news is you get to stay here the entire summer.  Dad no way. Grandpa Holiday is allowing it? Yes, he finally came to his senses. We all get to go to Greece together.  I am staying here until after fourth of July.  I also got promoted at work and now am a sargeant and lead the homicide team under Cavanaugh.  Daddy that is great. Congrats brother.  Thank you. congratulations Frankie you sure surprised them and look better too. I showed Jane and Avery his photo I took of him when he arrived.  Daddy I like you without a beard. I was seeing if I liked it  but it made me look my age. I decided to shave it. Is that the reason you took so long? No, June.  I was cleaning up your bathroom after I shaved. I didn't think you like hair all over nor your boyfriend to see a man's hair all over. Thank you.
We arrive in Rome.
Frankie since your here make yourself useful and help us unload this equipment into the awaiting hummer. I better get paid for this.  Of course,  your payment will be flying back to Italy with us. Very funny sis.  I thought so. Everyone laughed at him. We arrived at the
destination and I contacted the ladies who hired us. 
We listened to what they wanted.  We took two hours of photos. The ladies requested stay longer and join in on the festivities.  June took our photo.

And I added the year etcetera.  I was developing photos for two hours when auntie said we were done for the day and we could pick up tomorrow where we left off today.
Jane drove us to the cottage.  Kiki was there signing a contract.
Aye,  Kiki good to see you. Ah, Frankie it sure is sweetie. I better get going so you can make your dinner and eat.
Kiki please stay I need you to hear this too.
Avery I told you I would tell you the other part why I came .
Jane held my hand.
Avery your mother and I are getting a divorce and she had already moved to Chicago and started back with the PD there again. Why wasn't she happy with you us? Sweetie she was happy with you but with me she wasn't.  I asked her before I came out if there was something she wanted to tell me. I had seen hickeys on her one day when she returned from Chicago and when I asked she said they were from you. I knew she was lying and even took a photo of her covering them up before you got home from work but she didn't know . I was practicing with my zoom lens and  saw her. I didn't  say anything to anyone because I was angry and knew our family would never be the same and it wasn't. Oh sweetie,  I am so sorry you had to find out that way.  I have full custody of you. You will stay with me and your Uncle Frosty.
I kiss my daughter's cheek and held her while she cries.
Auntie Kiki can we go somewhere and talk? Daddy please.  Go ahead sweetie just make sure you eat. If you not going to come home, call so we can drop some clothes for you. Auntie can I stay with you? Sure,  go pack some clothes and your toiletries. I will be back quick. Kiki I know you are still angry with me but thank you for still being there for Avery. You mean the world to her and us. Thank you Jane. She and the girls mean the world to me too.
Avery returns and kisses all.
Avery your aunts, Nani's,  cousins and uncles will always be here for you.  I know auntie Sam.
I hug and kiss her and she reciprocated. She left with Kiki.

Jane -Sam I could kill Nina for putting her through that.  I noticed she was getting more short with Nina but didn't know why. Nina just said it was a misunderstanding and she would get over it. Frankie she is going to be okay like Sam said she has all of us to get through it. I wonder if she kept it in all this time or spoke to her cousins about it. I don't think she told the girls or they would of acted differently.  THIS ISN'T RIGHT.  SHE IS MY LITTLE GIRL AND SHOULDN'T OF HAD THE NEED TO KEEP IT A SECRET.  Frankie let me get you a beer so you can relax while I cook you, Jane and I dinner.
