Third Person's POV
The Romano household was unusually calm after dinner.
The family had gathered in the living room as they often did—some seated on the couches, others sprawled lazily across armchairs, conversations overlapping in low murmurs. It was one of those rare moments when everyone was present, when the house felt full and alive.
And now it did more because the missing piece of the house was no more missing.
Alessandro Romano stood near the window, phone pressed to his ear, his brows drawn together in concentration.
"Right... right... okay. We'll be waiting," he said firmly before ending the call.
He exhaled slowly and pinched the bridge of his nose, the weight of the conversation settling heavily on his shoulders.
The moment he turned around, several curious gazes locked onto him.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Leo asked first, sensing the shift in atmosphere.
Alessandro walked back toward the couch, his expression unreadable but serious.
"The family is coming," he announced.
A moment of silence followed before reactions exploded.
"They're already in Milan," Alessandro continued. "Richard and Evelyn, your grandparents, and the kids are waiting at the airport. Your uncle, aunt, and cousins are on their way. They'll all come here together."
"Omg..Really?! Yeah!" Riccardo and the younger twins exclaimed in unison, jumping up in excitement.
The older brothers smiled too—some subtly, some more openly—though none of them reacted as dramatically as the younger ones. Fabio, as expected, merely leaned back, arms crossed, observing quietly.
"They always come unannounced, don't they?" Alessia chuckled softly, shaking her head fondly.
"Dad," Dante spoke up, curiosity shining in his eyes, "are we going to tell them about Ana being back?"
"Of course," Alessandro replied without hesitation. "They'll be overjoyed to know that our principessa is well and alive and more than that she is home again."(Princess)
He paused, then added more gently, "But we'll surprise them in the morning. We're not disturbing our bambina. She woke up early today. She must be tired."(little girl)
"I'm curious how they'll react," Riccardo mused.
"Probably shocked," Niccolò said, widening his eyes dramatically in imitation.
Everyone snickered.
"Bella is going to be thrilled," Alessia added. "Finally having another girl around. She feels suffocated being surrounded by boys all the time."
"And Katerina too," Federico chimed in. "She'll finally have a friend."
Leo frowned thoughtfully.
"Dad, did you tell Uncle Dmitri and Aunt Elena about our sorellina being back?"(Baby Sister)
Alessandro sighed.
"No. This week has been... overwhelming. Everything revolved around Ana. I forgot. We'll introduce her properly at the Mafia Ball."
"Well Uncle Dmitri is surely gonna complain.. You are keeping it from your best buddy." Riccardo teased.
"Shut up!" Alessandro rolled his eyes, a very rare moment, which caused everyone to let out a hearty laugh.

The doorbell rang loudly, echoing through the house.
The younger children sprinted toward the door without waiting for permission, laughter and excited shrieks filling the hallway.
