Stefania POV

"Baby?", I hear Elizabeth call out from the living room as I was sitting in my office typing out an email with all the details about what they need to have on deck for New Years since we'll be in Italy.

"Yes bambina?", I call back out before looking up from my computer to see her standing there smiling at me.

"Are we still driving up today?", she softly asks as she leaned on the door frame of my office.

"Yes we are, I was just getting this email out since we're going to your dads, then to the Marvel Christmas at RDJ's and then flying to Italy", I tell her as I sent the email to everyone that will be working.

I'll let Jake know as well when I see him, he actually asked me if he could work New Years Eve as he didn't have plans and because well they get mad tips.. Oh and they get double pay so it's a win win for him.

"How is everything going at the club with everything and Jake?", she asks softly and I shrugged a little.

"Too quiet without Henry, but they are all coping. They decided that they would honour him on New Years Eve because it's one of his favourite holidays to work. But Jake is fitting in well,", I tell her sadly and she softly frowned.

"I hate that he's gone, I miss him", she says sadly and I took a deep breath.

"I feel the same way bambina, but he is always around.", I tell her and she just nodded whilst fighting off tears.

"Well we should get the car packed up, so that we can hit the road faster", I say as I shut down my computer.

I slowly stood up before feeling her arms around my waist. I laughed a little as she cuddled into me before I swooped her off her feet to carry her out of my office.

"I'm still upset that Scarlett, Florence and Anastasia won't be joining us for the Marvel Christmas party", she says and I hummed.

"We don't have to attend either, we can just fly straight to Italy?", I question back and she hummed a little.

"You know what, yeah let's do that. Considering we also have plans with Charles before we go back to the villa", she says as I put her down on the ground.

"Why don't you go make sure we didn't forget anything upstairs then, I'll start bringing things out and then we can wrangle up Winnie's things", I tell her and she nodded profusely before taking off towards the stairs.

I just laughed a little as she had scurried away before I opened the front door. I pulled our luggage out onto the patio for our Italy trip before grabbing our carry on bags we packed of our Christmas in Saugus.

I dragged our luggage down to the civic before unlocking it and popping the trunk. I picked up my suitcase and plopped it down before picking hers up to do the same. I raced back for our bags and tossed them in as well before she came out with Winnie's bag.

"I kind of packed hers whilst you were in your office and let her outside so she could use the bathroom before we left", she says as she tosses Winnie's bag in as well.

"You my bambina, are very smart and wise and I love you", I tell her as I cupped her face.

"I was honestly just bored and wanted something to do. I figured do that or fiddle my thumbs until you were done", she says with a soft giggle.

"But I love you too", she whispers and I just smiled at her.

"Well shall we go grab Winnie so we can hit the road?", I ask and she nodded softly.
