Little Aria

4

Third POV

As the brother and father were about to go to their rooms they suddenly hear a loud scream coming from Aria's room.

They immediately go to her door and when Damien tries to open it he realizes it's locked, he curses under his breath and kicks open the door with his brother's and father on the side.

When it finally opens after 2 hard kicks they expect to see someone in there other than Aria but they don't. However they do see Aria kicking and screaming begging someone to stop in her sleep.

They all look at the scene of front of them frozen not sure what the hell is going on

Finally Marcelo snapped out of his haze and went to Aria.

"Everybody hold down her body so she can stop hitting herself!" Marcelo yelled.

After about 10 minutes of trying to hold her down and wake her they finally managed to and she immediately backs away and is still hysterically crying.

When Marcelo tried to reach out she flinched away and cried even more.

"Maybe we should call Nikolai or Luciano!" As soon as the twins said that Aria nodded her head furiously saying 'please.' In a quiet voice still crying and visibly shaking. Then presses something on her necklace.

Before anyone could get their phones out the three mafia brothers burst through the door.

How did they know what door? Aria probably told them, they thought

Luciano the eldest went straight to her while Vincenzo and Alexei were behind him close but also making sure he had enough space.

"Aria baby look at me freckles focus on my voice and look at me." Luciano said to her in a calmly and soft voice.

After a few minutes Aria started to be aware of Luciano in front of her and jumped in his arms latching onto him making sure he wouldn't walk away from her.

The biological brothers and father felt a pang of jealousy. They felt stupid because they should've known how to calm her down.

They all still felt incredibly guilty and stupid about the way they got mad at her.

"Luci I-I had a t-terrible nightmare, I s-saw them and they f-felt so r-real." She stuttered out in the most saddest and heartbreaking voice and shuddered in her brother's arms.

Luciano whispered sweet words to the little girl and rocked her back and forth, not giving a fuck that her biological family could possibly hear him. He just wanted her to be okay.

The biological family just looked so confused. What the hell happened just now?

"Please don't leave me prince Luci." Aria whimpered, trying to calm down her sobs into her big brother's embrace.

Luciano just wiped her tears and kissed her chubby cheek multiple times, he also held her closer with a silent promise that he'll be here when she wakes.

"Sleep freckles, I'm here, I won't let go until you're ready." He coos at her lovingly and pecks her cheek while he rubs her back soothing Aria back to sleep.

With that Aria began to drift off into a deep sleep clinging on Luciano for dear life, terrified that he might be snatched away from her embrace.

There's a loud silence for at least 15 minutes with the biological family not really knowing what to say.

"She'll tell you when she's ready but try to force her and I won't hesitate to murder you all." Vincenzo says in a deadly calm voice, breaking the intense silence, with his brothers agreeing.
