"You need to stop smoking that shit. It's not good for you." Angelo saw that I wasn't turning around and sighed in defeat as he walked over to the bridge and leaned over just as I was posted against it.

I inhaled more of my cigarette and held it in for a few seconds before exhaling slowly. The waves crashed against the red bridge, spraying me with a soft mist. This was the bridge that I took Evelyn to when she was only a baby. My dad of course had guards take us but it was as if It was just us.

I turned my head to face Angelo as I saw one lone tear roll down his cheek before he quickly looked away. "You saw her...the way she looked at the little girl-" I cut him off before he could finish because I heard his voice crack. "Recognition and understanding." He nodded his head as I turned my head back to the harsh cold water.

My phone buzzed making both of us sigh. I dug in my pockets until I felt the cool metal, grabbing it I looked down at the name before quickly answering and putting it on speaker. It was quiet for a few seconds before Salvatore's voice came through the phone. "She's awake and asked for you guys, the nurse tried to get her to sleep and she told them- FUCK YOU!" Salvatore sighed as I chuckled at Evelyn's stern voice in the background.

"Luca tell them to stop! Salvatore, where are they?" My heart squeezed at the sound of my baby sister's tired voice calling out for us. Angelo walked over to his car and I ran over to mine while still on the phone with Salvatore. "Put her on," I said as I turned my key making the car come to life.

I heard a few shifts as my phone connected to my car. A few seconds later a smile made its way to my face as my little princesses voice came through the phone. "Romeo, please hurry." My stomach dropped as I slammed my foot on the gas.

"I'm coming hun, just try to rest okay?" I heard a small hum sound as I pulled into the hospital. I parked my car and quickly got out, running to the door while hanging up with Evelyn.

I heard a nurse try to stop me but I just lifted my shirt and showed my gun making her shut up and walk away. Once I got to the white door I turned my head and saw Angelo right behind me, his chest was rising and falling at a quick pace. "You are getting old." I felt his hand land on my head with a loud smack as I walked through the door.

Evelyn's face was pale but she had a smile on her face making my smile grow. I went in with my arms open but was quickly stopped by a hand grabbing my arm. I turned my head and saw Alessandro shaking his head. "Let him hug me, Sandro." I shook my head and pushed his arms away.

I walked back over to her and placed my hand on her cheek, feeling her cold skin against my warm hand. "How are you feeling ev?" She shrugged and I leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead.

Angelo walked to the other side of her bed and held her other hand. "Get some rest princess." She tried to shake her head but Angelo raised his eyebrows making her sigh. "I don't want to sleep alone.." her voice trailed off as her head leaned to the side of the pillow.

I turned my head over my shoulder and looked into the tired eyes of Sergio. "Get over here, you are the smallest." Sergio flipped me off but slowly lifted himself from his chair and walked over to the small hospital bed.

"Sergio..." I smiled as Evelyn put her arms out as far as she could and waved him in. Once his ass was on the bed she wrapped her arms around his torso and tried to pull him closer but she groaned making Sergio and everyone else freeze.
