    "No Bella, give it back! I had it first!" Bay shouted at Bella for taking her stuffed animal away from her.

"No!" Bella whined at her as she held the stuffed animal close to her body.

"Bella give your sister her stuffy back. She had it first and it's hers." I scolded her as the two of them sat opposite from Gio and I on his private airplane.

"But I want it." She huffed at me. Her thick brown eyebrows furrowed in anger and her thin lips downward, frowning at me.

"But it's not yours to have, Bella. Maybe if you would've asked Bay nicely earlier to have a turn to play with it instead of taking it from her she most likely would've shared it with you. Though now you don't have that privilege, so give your sister her stuffy back, now." I sternly but calmly explained to her.

Bella's face turned red with anger as she slowly gave the stuffy back to Bay. Bella then crossed her arms over her chest while puckering her lips whispering how life wasn't fair underneath her breath. Gio and I hid our small chuckles on each other's shoulders so Bella wouldn't see us laughing at her dramatic moment. Bay simply smiled again, hugging her toy and began to play with it, making up imaginary scenarios in her mind.

A few minutes later, Bay turned towards her still angry sister and handed her stuffed animal back to her causing Bella to be very happy. "You want a turn sissy?" She asked adorably. Bay didn't like to see her sister angry—ever.

"Please." Bella implored as her head slightly tilted to the side.

"Okay, here." She said as she nicely placed it on Bella's lap. "But you only have five minutes and then it's my turn again." Bay negotiated as she held up five fingers.

"Okay." Bella happily agreed as she began playing with the toy in her own way. All she would do is flap the ears of the bear first, then the arms and lastly the legs continuing to repeat the cycle over and over again until her five minutes was up.

"Thank you for sharing, Bay. That was very nice of you, principessa [princess]." Gio voiced, praising our daughter. Bay smiled wide at that before she took out her activity book and began coloring in it.

We've been on the plane for around thirty minutes now, heading to Rome. The flight isn't long and we should land in about another half hour before we head to our hotel. I made sure to pack multiple things for the girls so they would stay occupied and awake for the flight which had worked up until now when Bellamy suddenly wanted Bay's stuffie. I'm glad the situation resolved itself though because they usually never fight like that but it is what it is because at the end of the day they're sisters and sisters fight sometimes. It's only normal.

"Are you okay, love." Gio asked from beside me before he kissed my forehead. I looked up at him with a small smile on my face.

"I'm good, G. Are you okay?" I asked him.
