Neonata

Chapter 3

Natalie's POV

That girl was broken, you could see it in her eyes, she just lost her whole family. After letting me and officer Wilson do a DNA test on her we told her to get some sleep and that we would wake her up when the results had arrived. It had been four hours and we were still waiting on the results and waiting for the girl to wake up. We felt bad that she was asleep on the table but when we tried to move her, she would start crying not to be touched and promised she would be good. This confused both of us, but we left the girl to sleep where she was. Her reaction did worry me when I've worked with other children in this they would scream, kick off and cry for their parents but she just seemed fed up with everything and only worried about what would happen to her.

My phone buzzed, looking down at it I realised it was my husband asking how the case was going I just sent him a message back stating "Shouldn't be much longer love, just waiting on DNA results." After sending that I powered my phone off and sat in silence with officer Wilson.

A few more hours had passed, and another officer came to alert us that the Results had come back. Both me and Wilson stood up eagerly wanting to find out what would happen to this sweet girl. When we read over it, we both looked at each other surprised and happy.

*RICARDO DE LUCA POV*

I was sat in my office, looking at the picture of my baby girl, it was coming up to the anniversary of her death. The boys had gotten into their angry mood once again, like every year. On the other hand, Santonio has locked himself in his bedroom. I feel pain for my boy he refuses to enjoy his birthday as he believes it is not the same without his twin with him, as it was her birthday and death anniversary. I pitied him he loved her, he would always stick up for his sister, she was a mini him who would run to him whenever one of the boys were mean to her. I missed my baby girl. Deciding to not let it affect my mood so much as I had to be there for my boys, I cracked on with work. I unplugged my phone and started going through the paperwork looking at the success my sons have caused.

Two hours later I'm almost done with it all when I hear a knock on the door, ignoring it hoping it will go away I carry on with the information on the Russian mafia. The knocking doesn't stop so quickly, I open my top draw grab the gun and shoot at the door. Suddenly, the door is pushed open and Alessandro walks in. "What a nice dad, trying to kill your oldest and favourite child." He says with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Scoffing and tipping my head back I say, "And what can I do for you Al?" his eyes now returned to the same emotionless ones as before, "There's been someone nonstop ringing my phone because a certain someone broke theirs." I narrow my eyes at him daring him to continue. He just hands me his phone.

"What is so important to be ringing me at this time?" I bellow into the phone.

The nuisance responded with "Hello Mr De Luca."

*OFFICER WILSON POV*

"Hello Mr De Luca, I am calling you as there has been an accident today, which has caused the deaths of Danielle and Michael Wood."

"And why the fuck do I need to know if that skank is dead, she abandoned me and my sons, so in the nicest way possible piss off." I hear a voice shout from the other end.

"I'm sorry to hear that Sir but when she died there was something well someone left behind," taking his silence as my cue to carry on, I do "we have done a DNA test and have got the results which I can send to you, and you can even get your own test done if you wish, but we have your daughter here with us."

"You're wrong my daughter died fucking thirteen years ago; I am sure this person is lying."

"I'm a 100% certain that I have your daughter sat in the room across from me, I can email you the DNA results and can send you a picture of her now."

"Send the picture and results through to this phone, I will ring you back when I am certain of the truth" and with that he hung up.

*RICARDO'S POV*

I hold onto Alessandro's phone ready to kill who would ever dare ring me saying this, when a message comes through. I open the message and see a picture of a young girl who is the spitting image of my boy Santonio and me. I swipe off the photo and look at the link sent, I press onto it, and I find a DNA test.

It is her, she's alive. Alessandro looks me at confused and I shout Adriano in. Alessandro eyes start to turn from confusion to anger when I tell him to leave and gather all the boys up in the living room for a family meeting. But one look from me and he shuts his mouth and does as he is told to. Adriano looks at me amused, raising his eyebrow.

"fai le valigie e le mie andiamo a Los Angeles ora" I order him. Adriano knows better then to question me and just nods his head and leaves the room.

(pack your bags and mine we are going to L.A now)

I make my way downstairs and can hear all the chatter from my boys. I walk into our living room and see them all there, none have noticed I walked in yet and I take this an opportunity to glance at Santonio, he looks sad and ready to go back to his room and sulk. Alessandro notices I have appeared and shouts "silenzio".

(Silence)

All the boys now turn to look at me, confusion in all their eyes.

"Me and Adriano have to fly to L.A to deal with some business you will all be on your best behaviour for Alessandro and Angelo, and I'm bringing back a surprise, so I want all of you to make sure it's clean. torneremo domani mattina verso le undici." I say with a tone of authority in my voice, so they know I'm serious.

(we will be back tomorrow morning around eleven)

They all just nod at me, and I tell Adriano to follow me as we head out of the door and into the car to the plane.

*STELLINA'S POV*

I'm scared. I don't know what to do. Officer Wilson and Natalie told me that my father and one of my brothers is on the way to come get me and they will arrive in 2 hours. What if they don't like me? What if they are just as worse? How am I going to survive this?
