After many ups and downs and Malakai dealing with his shit with Ivan, today was finally a day we all can relax. Christmas was a successful day even after convincing Malakai that Christmas isn't a bad day and it's enjoyable. He still hates everything about it, but I am pretty convincing with my secret charm with him.

Mary wanted Karla and me in the kitchen for New Year's, but we didn't mind because we have recipes of our own from my mother. My family is flying in from America which I am excited about. I made Malakai promise no business talks with my father and committed to that promise, but who knows what he is up to?

I have to make enough food for eight people, but I am tripling everything so it feeds us for the next or so. My parents are staying here for this weekend and then heading back. I don't know why my father just won't give his spot up, but then that makes me the boss of the American mafia, but I don't know if I want that yet. My father doesn't have any sons that live with us. Andrei is his only son, but he is on the wrong side, The Russians, this is what happens when you mess with other people other than your wife. Can't lie my mother has done the same, but it was more like payback.

Malakai and Ayden went to go pick them up. Karla was setting up the food on the table. Tonight Italy has a huge firework celebration which I can't wait for because this will be my second time experiencing it. The doorbell rang and we just finished setting up. I am so glad I was dressed for the day and covered up with an apron. I am wearing a red dress with a long sleeve that hugs in the right places.

Everyone walked in dressed all nice for today. My father came around the table to hug me and so did my mother. They went to Karla after, since they raised her also. She is my sister I have known her since birth. Everyone sat down. Malakai of course is at the head of the table and I sat next to him and Karla sat right beside me.

My father prayed over the food and everyone began to fill their plates with the food provided.

The conversations around the table flowed peacefully together. As we finished our food Karla and I went to retrieve the dessert which is Strawberry cheesecake and Oreo cheesecake. Mary cut everyone slices of the cheesecake of their choice and we finished with the dessert. Ayden and Mary decided to clean off the table after we were finished.

" How is living in Italy like?" My mother said as we went to the library and sat down. " I like it a lot, but sometimes I wish I was back home in New York."

" You know you are always welcome back home whenever you are ready, pumpkin," She smiled showing off her beautiful dimples that I wished I had. I'm surprised that Valencia or me doesn't have her dimples. " Have you and Malakai started talking about kids? You know that this mafia needs an heir, but if not an heir then an heiress."
