The next day came around faster than Regenia expected, but she wasn't planning on being awoken by her husband's voice screaming from the other side of the bathroom door. His angry voice told her someone had fucked up at the factory, and he wasn't happy with the news they were giving him. Giuseppe's wine factory meant a lot to him, and after hearing the stories about his grandmother Regenia understood why. Still, it didn't give him a reason to scream someone's ear off at eight in the morning while she tried to sleep. Quickly Regenia stood to her feet and made her way into the bathroom. Without a word, she pulled the phone from Giuseppe's hand as he looked at her as if she had lost her mind.

'Sir, it wasn't me this time.'

'Josh, what did you mess up this time?'

'Mrs. Romano, you're back! Everyone, Signora Romano is back!' The man yelled as everyone in the background cheered. 'Le mie scuse, Signora Romano. I got a little excited to hear your voice. My wife recently gave birth, and the man I left in charge played around with the wine flavors... some of those—'

'Find out which ones and stop the production. If Mr. Romano or I have to come down, someone will lose a job... well, someone is losing a job. I want the man's name texted to me by the end of the day and you to tell him he is no longer needed. Bye, Josh—'

'Signorina—'

'Ciao Josh.' Regenia spoke, looking back at Giuseppe with a raised brow. In response, he gave her a shy smile and a kiss her on the forehead. "You wanted me to sleep in this morning after you got your way last night. Four rounds, Giuseppe. I'm running off two hours of sleep while your happy ass is yelling at innocent workers in the bathroom. GET OUT!" She yelled as Giuseppe stared at her for a moment and left. Regenia could tell he wanted to argue but chose not to, which was probably the best choice. Right now, she was feeling cranky... she needed someone or something to take her anger out on. Until then, she quickly took a shower and found her way downstairs, where her little sister stood in her kitchen cooking.

"Oh, I didn't know you were up. I hope you don't mind... I wanted waffles; your cook said that wasn't on the menu today. I didn't want whatever that was she cooked." Isla spoke as Regenia uncovered the dish on the counter and smiled. "It's called a breakfast tostadas. I don't like them either, but Giuseppe seems to enjoy them. She's a little bitchy, and I don't think she likes me too well. However, I don't give a damn; either she'll learn to make what I ask her or lose a job— Make sure to make enough for four people." Genia spoke, smiling at the woman walking out of the pantry as she heard the tipping of four feet running through the house along with the cats and dogs.

"Mamma! I thought I was dreaming. I cried when I woke, and you weren't beside me.... who's this?" Quickly Sienna stood behind Regenia as she pulled Domenico behind her. They were shy around new people. It was one of the first things Regenia noticed about them. "You have children other than the one you are pregnant with?"
