All the members were having all dinner together. All sat eating their own slice of melon with the ham.

"I never ate melon with ham over it," Said Nathaniel. "It's really tasty"

"I love the melon with the ham on it. It's healthy and it has meat" Said one of the other boys.

"So Nathaniel" Said Lila's stepfather. "You're twenty?" Asked the black-haired man, earning a nod from Nathaniel. "Is this a yes or no?"

"Uh a yes" Replied Nathaniel and one of the guys had to giggle.

"So you're the oldest from the others?"

"Uh I don't know it Sir" Responded Nathaniel.

"If you're twenty, then you are," Said the boy from before. "I'm sixteen"

"And I'm turning eighteen next month" Responded the second boy.

"Almost of age," Said Nathaniel earning a nod from the guy.

"He is, he is" Said Alessio, the stepfather of Lila. "By the way, I don't want to make it sound a bit odd, but I'm just curious....Did you two think about founding a family in the future?"

"I can't wait to start one" Responded Lila glaring at the others. "I've been dreaming so much to see, my own would look like"

"You will have them, don't worry Lila," Said Valentina, the raven-haired girl.

"Have you any idea for names?" Asked Chiara. "You liked the name Aria a lot?"

"I will see that later" Replied Lila.

"How will you raise them?" Asked Alessio. "Have you already have an idea Nathaniel?" Asked the man.

"Uh we both together"

"I hope so, but I meant if you know how"

"Uh....." Replied Nathaniel thinking about his questions.

"Of course he does" Responded Lila.

"Hopefully," Said Alessio, making Lila frown and Nathaniel look neutral thinking about the responsibility of the fatherhood.

"We will raise them both together and we'll raise them Jewish"

"Jewish?" Asked Alessio surprised.

"Jewish?" Asked Nathaniel along with the others.

"Well if I and Nath can't marry, because of our different religions I will change my belief to the Judaism and turn Jewish just like him"

"But why you?" Asked the stepfather.

"I still believe in god, but I'm not the type of religious girl, that goes every Sunday to church or prays every night before going to bed. So if it doesn't work out I will do, what it takes to get into the Jewish denomination."

"But that's crazy Lila," Said Chiara. "Why do you have to do that?"

"I don't know, they accept if two people have the same gender, but not having the same religion is crazy too," Said Lila.

"Good point," Said Alice. "We're in the 21st Century, that should have been taken care. Not only the LGBTQ"

"But are you really sure, you are ready to do that?" Asked Alessio. "If you had to?"

"Sure"

"Really bambina?" Asked Lila's mother. "Do you think it's a good idea?"

"Do you think you could do that?" Asked one of the other guys.

"Hey listen to me, mamma you already know, that my love for Nathaniel is bigger than anything else in the world. I would really love if you respect my choice"
