The Mafia's Missing Triplets

Chapter Fifty

Quinn's POV

They all left after saying goodnight to each of us. Once they were gone our conversation didn't pick back up. Sawyer darted off to the bathroom and Avery collapsed on the bed shutting her eyes but wasn't sleeping. Sawy came back with wet hair and eyes that showed he was crying, he shoved me off into the bathroom before I could question him. I showered and went through my nightly routine and came out in comfy pajamas.

Avery headed in wordlessly and Sawyer motioned me over and I closed my eyes as he brushed my hair then began working it into two braids for me. "Ve may be harsh but she's right." I don't respond but he continues anyway knowing I'm listening, "You have to talk to us we all do."

He was hiding something still, "Sawy what's going on?"

"I don't deserve you Quinny, that's what's been swirling in my mind. The idea that I will hurt you or Ve. Become like them."

The same thoughts that he finally told us two years ago.

"Are you-?" I didn't finish my question, didn't need to.

Avery came out of the bathroom and silently joined us, whether she knew what we were talking about or just had an idea wasn't clear.

Sawyer's POV

"I'm fine."

"Bullshit," Avery called me out but I didn't cave into admitting she was right. I brushed the two off and stood then helped pull Quinn up. The three of us cuddle together under blankets and Avery and I fight Quinn when she tries to steal too much of the blankets claiming that she was cold. I give her a bear hug and cling on to her as she whined for me to get off finally Avery broke us up as she smacked me with a pillow and then gave Quinn the remote to pick something to watch.

Both Avery and I silently agreed to stay up at least as long as Quinn did although by the look on Avery's face she was planning on staying up all night. She still needed to make up her side of the deal with talking about last night but knowing brought it up.

After a while, Quinn was clearly starting to nod off, and I pulled her closer letting her snuggle with me as I played with her hair. It was clear she fell asleep and both Avery and I knew it. "Go to sleep Ve."

She hummed, "I will." She wouldn't.

I sighed, "Okay, Avey."

Avery woke me and Quinn up although following what is becoming a normal routine Quinn tried to resist actually getting up attempting to hide under blankets and pillows. I left Avery to get Quinn out of bed and headed into the bathroom to get ready.

When I came out Avery had all the blankets on the bed but Quinn was snuggled with a pillow on the floor. I chuckled as I helped Avery and picked her up, making her whine and pout. I set her on her feet and Avery ushered her into the bathroom. My older sister and I chuckled together as she collapsed onto the bed.

"You didn't sleep."

She shrugged, "I didn't."

"You're talking about it later."

She sighed, "Maybe."

I didn't push her and when Quinn reemerged glaring at the two of us we laughed at her making her pout and we headed down to the kitchen. We were shocked to find Cesco waiting in the hallway with Samuele eyes set on us. He brightened when we got closer and Avery sighed clearly not wanting to deal with our brothers. She tried to walk past us but he jumped in front of her waving his arms as if she was about to hit him with a bus instead of walking into him.

"What do you want?"

Cesco's face fell, "What do I want? That's the greeting I get? I am your absolute favorite and you talk to me like that?" He was basically wailing and the three of us stared at him as Samuele tried to comfort him.

"Yes."

He pouted at Avery then looked to the rest of us, "Our party is next weekend."
"Party?"

Cesco gasps at me as if it was obvious, "Birthday party? We are celebrating together."

I nod slowly and Avery rolled her eyes, "What about it?"

"Well Remo always insists on handling decorations but you three will probably get cars as one of your gifts."

"Cars?"

"One of our gifts?"
Avery and I both question as Quinn stays silent on the sidelines with Samuele. We didn't need one car let alone multiple and how would that be only one of the gifts.

Cesco just waved us off making Avery glare at him which he shied away from, "Um- Yeah, so um, when you get your cars can you teach us to drive pretty please with cherries, sprinkles, and chocolate on top."

"Maybe," Avery tried to brush him off but he didn't move.

"Maybe? What if I add whipped cream and M&Ms on top too?" Avery just blinked at him and pushed past him and Quinn and I followed her. He chased after us, "Hold on what if I add in um more chocolate? Or wait, Sour Patch kids!" At this point, I wasn't sure if he was actually talking about making us ice cream sundaes or trying to agree to teaching him to drive.

Avery sighed as we walked into the kitchen, surprisingly Cesco quieted and Dad, Leonardo, and the other adults in the room greeted us and sent Cesco and Samuele confused looks.

Quinn made the three of us coffee and handed the mugs to Avery and me and then hopped up on the counter and sipped from her mug. "So you guys, we are planning on having your birthday party on Saturday but you may get a few gifts early. We may give you a few gifts early, we have a lot of birthdays to make up for."

Cesco had a beaming smile on his face with Dante smacked him on the back of the head and gave him a look, "Dad's talking about the triplets not you idiot."

Cesco pouted and Leonardo copied Dante's move and smacked Dante on the back of the head. Making the latter glare at the former and Avery laughed, "You deserved it yeti."

He glared at Avery as Leonardo, Octavio, Dad, and Uncle Orlando chuckled. Remo, Luca, and Luigi came in dragging the rest of the teens behind them and Dad glared at the teens who clearly slept in as always. It was obvious he wanted them to be getting up without Remo and his clones waking them up.
