Demon

chapter 62

The next morning was an odd sight at the at the Russo household.

Dante, Matteo and Emilia came down for breakfast at similar times due to it being a school day.

The three were surprised to see Mason and Damon home.
Matteo and Emilia looked at the scene, both having similar thoughts. 'this is what I could have had'

Dante was more cynical so he didn't think like that but he knew a small part of him wanted what his younger siblings wanted.

All three were jealous of their two eldest brothers because they got to experience two parents loving them . Even though Alice had turned abusive, the eldest brothers still experienced love from her.

The sight they saw was very domesticated. Alesandro and Sienna arguing about who should make breakfast finally agreeing they will try make it together.
Mason and Damon on their phones with coffee. Both trying not to laugh at the events occuring before them.

"If only" Matteo sadly muttered.

His siblings didn't hear unfortunately.

Matteo smiled and headed into the kitchen.

"Morning everyone" Matteo said cheerily.

"Shut up" Mason said and pointed to their father and Sienna who were arguing again. This time on the way to cook.
Mason was loving the drama by now and Matteo smiled and took a seat next to Mason to watch it.

"Morning Matteo. My favourite son. Will you tell Miss Miller I make amazing pancakes" Alesandro said.

"That's not fair. You can't bring your kids into this" Sienna replied.

"I tell you what. You can have one on your side too." Alesandro said.

"He's lost it. He's giving us away now" Mason muttered causing Emilia to laugh.

"In that case, Damon, will you tell your father that mine are better" Sienna's choice suprised everyone except Damon. He was still on his phone only half paying attention as he was working. But he smiled and looked up "I'm staying out of it I'm afraid. I don't feel like insulting my father right now, Miller"  he casually said, confirming Sienna's were better as he referred to her by last name.

"Well personally i think dad makes the best breakfasts ever. Sorry Sienna but I really do have to side with dad on this one" Matteo said feeling slightly guilty he hadn't agreed with Sienna.

Sienna spotted it as he had looked directly at her when he apologized.

"Just make the food already. I do have school you know" Dante was bored of the debate by now. Whereas Mason and Emilia were happy just to watch.

"Of course. We're multitasking" Alesandro said as he began with the batter once again.

Sienna walked closer to Alesandro as he started to cook the pancakes.

"I think we should put our rivalry aside" she whispered to him.

"What's wrong?" Alesandro whispered. He knew it was sort of their thing and they both respected each other and everything said about cooking was done in a playful manner and he knew Sienna wasn't going to admit to defeat.

"We're getting your kids to choose sides. I think Matteo is feeling a little guilty" she whispered.

Alesandro paused and looked over at his youngest son who was talking happily to Dante. But he saw it too. Behind the happiness there was something else.

"I'll talk to him properly after school. Do you want to take over cooking. He doesn't like his siblings knowing his struggles so maybe if you finish the pancakes he might realise you don't take offence " Alesandro suggested.

"Yeah of course. We could add the toppings together in a decorative way?" She suggested.

"Yeah that's a good idea" he said knowing exactly what he wanted for each of his children.

So once the pancakes were cooked they added toppings. As it was a weekday, Alesandro tried to make his kids healthy breakfasts so the toppings were a range of berries and sliced bananas .

For Matteo a smiley face was made
For Emilia a flower
For Dante as he had wanted to go to school badly, Alesandro and Sienna worked together to arrange the fruit into a book design.
Mason got one of his more simple tattoos.

"Let me do Damon's, you can go give the kids theirs" Alesandro said a small smirk on his face.

Sienna had no problem with this and gave each of them their breakfast.

Alesandro came with Damon's plate. A chain saw design on top of the pancake.

Damon was not impressed as he understood the joke. The very long running joke.

"Seriously dad? You're giving him ideas" Emilia said trying not to laugh at the chainsaw made out of fruit.

"Oh please if I stalked you carrying a chain saw I think I'd be quite obvious to spot" Damon replied.

"Yeah fruit is definitely safer for you " she replied.

"You're a brat" Damon replied.

"Shouldn't you step in " Sienna asked slightly concerned.

"I gave up on them two a long time ago. Don't worry they both have some very dark jokes with each other" Alesandro replied.

"Stalker" Emilia called Damon.

"I thought they stopped" Matteo asked Mason.

"Nope. It's a life long thing I bet now" Mason replied.

"I am not a stalker" Damon said.

"Yet you know everything about Jake" Mason jumped in, he did like to stir stuff for drama.

"Who's Jake?" Dante asked.

"Clara's boyfriend" Mason replied.

"Jake is my employee, I run background checks on everyone that works for me so of course I know things about him. At least I'm not stalking my favourite sibling"  Damon clarified.

"I thought I heard breathing in my room last night. You seriously need to choose another favourite" Dante said.

"I am so done with this. I told you dad, I said I didn't want them. They are annoying" Damon said a little dramatically.

"Even me?" Emilia asked.

"No you're just a brat"

Alesandro and Sienna had watched the siblings and they were holding in their laughter.

They both chose to stay out of it to see how it played out.

And it didn't disappoint.
