Aleksandr's POV
We landed in Washington a few hours ago and everyone is settling into their rooms. The house is about an hour and a half away from his school but it's in a very pretty and scenic part of the neighboring area. It's also the only place I could find a house large enough to house the whole family. Right now we're all going over the plan for tomorrow before I give everyone a chance to unpack.
"Before you explain can I ask a favor from everyone?" Xander speaks up
"Of course Sunshine."
"I know the older Lombardi's can be a lot but can you guys please just keep the peace? Specifically you and Adriana." He look at me
"I'm not going to start anything Sunny so no need to worry."
"Dad I mean it. Don't engage with them. If they say something rude just ignore them. They're physically incapable of being the bigger people so I'm begging you to be. Being around them makes me very anxious. And I don't want you getting into more trouble so please."
"Of course. I'll be on my best behavior."
"So will I." Adriana frowned with me
"Thanks."
"So what's the plan?" Yuri surprised everyone
"You actually came." Xander smiled at his uncle
"How could I disappoint my nephew?" He shrugged
"I thought your expertise was in disappointing people." Sunny bit back
"I can still leave dick cheese."
"What are you doing here Yuri?" Alessio asked
"Xander called and cried for hours-"
"He's a fucking liar. I just mentioned that I wished he could join us."
"Since the little guy missed me so much I told my professors a family friend died. They excused my absence for the week so I could travel abroad for the funeral." He grinned
"Thanks." Xander muttered
"Anytime."
"Did you bring my grand baby?" Mom asked
"Yeah but she's napping. We got in this morning and she didn't sleep at all on the plane. The first thing I made her do was take an early nap so she wouldn't be cranky. If she doesn't wake up in the next hour I'll go up and wake her."
"What a good husband! Giving his wife a break."
"I know I'm pretty amazi-" I decided to interrupt my annoying brother
"Moving on. Tomorrow we will have a campus tour at 10am. It's an hour and fifteen minutes long. Xander and I will be meeting with his coaches and then the bursars office. I don't care what you do during that time. Just don't cause any trouble."
"Why do we have a break down of the schedule when there's only one thing planned?" Milo asked
"If he didn't you and JJ would wake up at four in the afternoon upset that we left you." Dima clarified
"Exactly, so set alarms."
"Mabel wouldn't leave us behind."
"Do we have to interact with the Lombardi's today?" Alessio asked
"They're coming over for dinner tonight."
"Wonderful." Adriana groaned sarcastically
"Do we have a big enough dining table?"
