*8 years later*

"Mommy Cristiano took my bear" Iris whimpered walking into her parent's room and waking them up.

"Baby come here" Sofia opened her arms watching her daughter waddle towards her with tears running down her face.

"Where's Cristiano now princess?" Noah asked getting out of bed.

Walking towards Iris pointed Cristiano stood in front of the washing machine with his twin brothers Alessio and Nolan watching a white bear spin around in the glass window.

Seeing her bear Iris cried even more worried that her best friend would drown with all that water.

"What's going on here? Noah asked trying to hold back his laughter.

All three boys turned around in shock giving their father a sheepish smile before explaining "Well father Iris was playing with her bear and it looked dirty so I've decided to wash him for her" their oldest explained.

"Cristiano, did you ask her before taking it?" Sofia asked still holding her sobbing daughter.

"No...But mother she ran away before I could explain" he countered standing proudly while answering their questions.

Leaving Noah to talk to the boy Sofia walked away with Iris knowing she would stop crying if she saw ice cream and forget about her teddy bear.

Finally letting out the laugh he was holding in he gave Cristiano a stern look explaining what he did wrong and Cristiano walked out of the room on his way to apologize to his sister.

On their hunt for more troubling matters, the twins opened the door when the doorbell rang seeing their uncle Alex and aunt Isabel holding a crying girl in their hands while their oldest child Sia wasn't paying attention to what was going on around her.

"Dad I'm going to go play with Cristiano" Rowan called out to their second oldest while running into the house.

Cristiano was born before Rowan making him older by four days but they were best friends just like Isabel and Sofia planned.

Their 8th birthday party was coming up and they wanted it to be at the same time making the workload of planning everything much less.

When Isabel saw Sofia in the kitchen she placed their newborn baby in her hold knowing Maeve would stop crying as soon as she saw who was holding her.

"She's been crying all morning I can't take it anymore" Isabel groaned sitting down next to Iris who was busy devouring the ice cream in front of her.

Cristiano walked into the room greeting his aunt before grabbing his sister's attention.

"I'm truly sorry Iris I didn't mean to upset you" he spoke gently giving her a quick hug before disappearing with Rowan.

"God you really can't tell that he's only 8" Sofia mumbled cooing at the baby in her arms. "Baby don't get any ideas we already have 4 and I'm not changing any more diapers" Noah chuckled walking into the room with Alex following behind him.

"But-" Noah gave her a stern look and Sofia huffed out before grabbing herself a water bottle.

The first year Noah made sure Ivan had a slow death and Sofia's parents did too. Steven and Adrik got married and decided to adopt a baby girl and Alex asked Isabel to marry him after giving birth to his first son.

Noah and Sofia moved to a new house after their wedding and made sure all their children had everything they ever needed and wanted. Iris was a real daddy's girl while the twins were mommy's boys and Cristiano was neither.

Of course, he would take over Noah's mafia but they decided he would only start getting trained at the age of twelve and if he choose Rowan to be his second in command they both would train together.

Alex, of course, adopted Sia when she turned 10 and she's been calling him father ever since but her attitude only grew more when she turned thirteen and kept Isabel and Alex on their feet making sure she made the right decisions.

James only asked his girl to marry him a year ago so he was still running after her like a love-sick puppy while Alex and Noah enjoyed teasing him about it.

Sofia's club only grew more and she couldn't be happier with everything that was happening in her life but how couldn't she be with a big happy family, a loving husband, and a thriving business.

Everything fell in place and she just smiled while watching her family joke around the dinner table while Noah held a sleeping Iris with her now clean teddy bear and the rest of the kids ran around playing tag with their very old Rai and Kaida.

Everything was perfect and when the night came to an end everyone went home and they tucked the kids in.

After turning off all the lights Noah searched for his wife not finding her in their room but standing outside looking at the bright moon lighting up the night sky.

Wrapping his hands around her waist he kissed her head while Sofia pulled out a small box.

"Last one" she spoke remembering her agreement with Noah to stop smoking as she lit the cigarette.

"One last cigarette".
