Fuck, I completely forgot about the bit of Italian Sam has taught Cade and Isa, I didn't think it would stick.

Will this blow my cover?

For the love of god Isa, speak English!

"Chi ti ha insegnato l'italiano?" Gio says to her causing her face to stir up in confusion.

"Sì?" She asks confused.

"Our old neighbor was teaching them a few words, she doesn't understand sentences." I quickly say and he nods.

"I miss Mr Sam."

Isa calms down and goes back to lying on Gios's side, she liked him already and I didn't know how to feel about It.

This was a good thing, right? I felt like shit.

Not only was I lying to Gio but I was lying to my children too, I had to tell him soon but I was just...

Not ready.

"How have you never seen Moana? It's like the best movie of all time, but next, we can watch Tangled which is my second favorite movie! You'll love it!" She says excitedly.

I smiled at her excitement, I loved seeing my children happy.

He looked a bit more comfortable now as they watched, he answered her questions and even asked some of his own.

I think I even saw a small smile break out on his face.

Was he actually good with kids?

I must still be asleep.

I pinch my arm to make sure, nope definitely awake.

I watch as Cade gets up and sits next to Gio catching me off guard, Cade never gets that close to anyone who isn't me or his sister.

I watch as Gio includes Cade in their conversation causing my eyes to sting.

Don't Cry.

It was also very attractive to see how good he was with my children, I could already tell they liked him.

I could tell Isa loved him because he was exactly like her.

She looked like me but I can tell all of her personality came from her father, her protectiveness over her brother came from her father but I'd like to think my genes contributed some there.

As for Cade, he was the replica of his father, I was surprised no one said anything about how alike those two looks, maybe his shyness and personality which he gets from me, overpowers his looks.

I lean back against the couch as I watch the three before Giovanni's eyes catch mine causing me to freeze, his eyes do something to me causing my head to bang against my chest.

He gives me a confused look, probably confused about why I was looking at them like I was about to cry.

I quickly look away before he says anything and get off the couch. "I'll start on dinner, isa no more cookies." I point a finger at her before grabbing her snacks and walking into the kitchen putting the sweets away.

"You gonna tell him they're his?" The voice catches me off guard as I turn around clutching my hand to my chest noticing Luca sitting at the counter, scrolling through his phone before forcefully shoving it into his pocket.

"Excuse me?" I play dumb.

How did he know?

"Come on, those kids look exactly like him, I may be blind but I'm not that blind I don't know how he hasn't figured it out yet." He says adjusting his glasses, finally looking at me.. he didn't seem upset, not at me At least.
