Their Little Sunshine

[18] Unexpected Injuries

Warning- A very long chapter ahead...

Third Person POV

Francesco and his son's saw the whole family breaking down.

They didn't say anything. They didn't had to. They knew it was a hard news to take. They just kept watching everyone who was once a family. Twelve years ago.

Twenty minutes passed and everyone was calm expect a few sniffles being heard from Amelia. It was the hardest for her.

Amelia and Alicia were identical twins and it was hard for anyone to differentiate between the two. The only difference in them were thier eyes. Amelia got her father's grey eyes but Alicia has her mother's brown eyes. The exact same eyes that now Kiara has.

Kiara wasn't an exact replica of her mother, but her eyes were. The same shade of brown that turns into honey pool in sunlight. And the shade of green which just makes them extraordinary.

Though Kiara didn't know it. According to her, there was nothing special in her eyes as they were plain brown, a colour that she doesn't like.

Only if she knew that there were many people who were dying to see those eyes again.

"Where is she?" Josephine asked softly, her voice a little scratchy from all the crying

Alex looked at his wristwatch, "It's past 10, she is sleeping."

"How does she look like?" Elizabeth asked softly, her voice too was a little scratchy from all the tears.

Alex slightly shook his head as Francesco spoke, "We don't know. You'll have to see it for yourself."

"What's my baby's name?" Coraline, wife of Darius, their eldest uncle from their mother's side asked

Unbeknownst to the both of them, like always, their eyes met and without anyone's noticing, they very slightly nodded their head, indicating that both of them were indeed thinking the same thing.

Alex broke the eye contact from Stefan and looked at the screen at his Aunt, "Kiara. Her name is Kiara."

"I knew it. That bitch." Amelia chuckled, whispering the last part

Everyone except her brothers and mom looked at her confused. Noticing everyone's confused gaze on Amelia, Elizabeth spoke, "Alicia always wanted her child to be named Kiara."

Amelia shaked her head at her mother, "No mom. Tell them the truth. Oh wait, she might have not told you.." Her shrugged, her tone held a mischievous glint as she looked at Francesco through the screen

"I already know what you want to say." He raised his hand to stop her, rolling his eyes at the women., "And the kids don't need to know that."

"Why not? Ofcourse they do." She paused for a second not bothering to look at all of the confused gaze of her husband, her son's and all other kids, she continued, "But you know what? I think you're right. We'll not tell the kids, but I'll tell all the adults present. And since you have short term memory loss, let me remind you..." She leaned a bit towards the screen, "We only have two kids in the family. Kiara and Jake. So all the other will have to know." She shrugged her shoulder's leaning back with a 'Im totally helpless in this.' look

Lucian exhaled frustated with her sister's antics, "Ame, don't start."

"What is it?" Athene, his wife asked quietly

Lucian shaked his head, "Nothing important." He muttered

"Nothing important?" Amelia exclaimed loudly, "Are you kidding me Lucian?" She spoke with wide eyes
