Book 1 - The 8 brothers series
~Completed~
~Edited~
You could say that Karma Paige Moretti was a normal girl, living her normal life, with a normal amount of brothers. But you would be lying. She is a Model, and boy was she beautiful, all boys wante...
I pick up my phone, looking at the time, 3am. I answer the call from Alfie, "what do you want, I'm sleeping?" "The baby's coming." Is all I hear before he hangs up the phone. You've gotta be fucking kidding me. "Joey, wake up, Maisie is in labour." I shake him awake and then wake everyone else up. Alfie text me saying that he and Maisie were already at the hospital and that we should get here as fast as we could. I quickly get dressed, do my hair and makeup.

Joey groans as he gets ready, "You're not exactly a morning person." I laugh, spritzing my coco chanel perfume. "I am, but 3.30am is not morning, it's practically still night, and after the night we had, we both need some rest." He winks, making dirty remarks as I lean on the doorframe, impatiently waiting for him to hurry up. "You need to hurry up," I yell-whisper. "That's not what you said when you were moaning my name a few hours ago." He mumbles. "Joseph. Theodore. De. Luca. If you make another comment like that, not only will you sleep on the couch, you will also not be allowed to touch me for a month." I smirk and he shuts up.
I walk out of the room and then downstairs, waiting for people at the entryway, Cameron and his girlfriend Emily are the first, and then Adam and Delilah. Everyone else is down here other than Joey now. "Joey I swear to god! The same rules apply now!" I yell and he comes running down the stairs, skipping a few of them. Everyone looks at me weirdly, I just walk past them and get into the car, driving off to the hospital.
Once everyone is there and parked we all rush into it like a herd of elephants. "Uh, Hi, welcome to ____ hospital, what can we do today?" The woman at the desk asks Joey, looking at him lustfully. "We're here for Maisie Valentino, she's in labour, and also, ever talk to my boyfriend like that again, I'll make sure you never see the light of day." I smirk, she looks at me horrified. "Room 301." I give her a nod and we all rush to find the room, everyone running up the stairs. Room 300. Room 299. Room 298. I turn around and run the other way, realising we're going the wrong way. Room 301. I open the door and see a sweating Maisie and a tired Alfie. "How are you babe?" I ask, walking over to her bed. "In pain," she manages to say. "Well, you're the one who got pregnant... not me." I smirk and then walk out. I'm so sympathetic I know.
I walk out of the room to see everyone chatting, yawning, and Joey's asleep. I go and sit next to him and lay my head on his shoulder, drifting off to sleep.
~Arlo's POV~
Karma walks out of Maisie's room and beelines straight for Joey, laying her head onto his sleeping shoulder and eventually entering her slumber.
If you would've told me a year ago, that we would be sitting here, like we are now. My older brother, married and having a baby. Ashton, Ace, Adam, Cameron are all in relationships. Karma, my baby sister, being the happiest now she has been in so long, with the love of her life, her best friend, her Joey. I would've laughed in your face, If you would've told me that Karma is the best assassin in the world, I would've doubled over, crying of laughter. Not my innocent sister.
But... those things have happened, and I'm so glad they have, I'm so glad things have happened the way they have, I wouldn't change anything that has happened in the past... because it led to this. My massive, happy family...
~Karma's POV~
~4 hours later~
I am woken up by someone repeatedly tapping me, "I swear to god, unless someone is dying, please fuck off." "The baby's here," Adam whispers. My eyes open and I rush into Maisie's room to see her cradling her newborn child, who is wrapped up in a pink cloth. "How was it Maize?" I ask, walking over to her side. She hands me the baby. I immediately start rocking and swaying. "I'm never doing it again, seriously," she laughs, everyone else comes over to look at the baby. "Have you decided on a name yet?" Joey asks, standing next to me with one hand around my waist and one holding the baby's hand. "Aria Noelle Valentino." Alfie says in a sort of whisper. "It's beautiful," Arlo coos, everyone else agrees in a chorus of replies. I hand Aria to Joey and then try to walk over to Alfie, but don't manage to get there before Ace pulls me aside.
"You okay?" I ask, he looks at me worried. "Yeah, I need you to do something for me..." He says, looking down at me "Of course, what do you need?" I reply, starting to get scared.
There you have it, the end, The Model and 8 brothers. I got so emotional writing this chapter, but, my babies will return in The Assassin and 8 brothers. I can't belive this is it, the end of an era, I started writing in March 2021, and finished in December 2021, and what a crazy year it's been. I wanted to thank everyone who has voted, commented, or even read this book till the end. Are you excited for the sequel. I know I am. There are some surprises. Maybe... even Karma will take over the mafia... Maybe someone else will... Only I know.
