The brothers, all part of a powerful mafia family, understood the importance of blending in, so their car had double-tinted windows to ensure their privacy.
Valentino carried Athena, who clutched Caramella, her beloved stuffed bunny, tightly in her arms.
The black SUV pulled up outside "Il Gufo," a renowned children's clothing store known for its elegant and high-quality apparel. Dante, always vigilant, scanned the area before helping the others out of the car. The brothers formed a protective circle around Athena as they entered the store.
The interior of "Il Gufo" was bright and inviting, with colorful displays and friendly staff who greeted them warmly. Athena's eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful clothes, but she felt a bit overwhelmed. Valentino squeezed her hand reassuringly. "It's okay, Athy. We're here to find you some new outfits."
They took turns picking out different clothes for her to try on. Mario held up a pretty pink dress with floral patterns, and Rico found a pair of sparkly shoes to match. "What do you think, Athy?" Valerio asked, showing her a soft, pastel-colored sweater.
Athena hesitated, unsure of what to choose. "I-I d-don't know," she stuttered, looking up at Valentino with wide eyes.
"Let's try a few things on, and you can tell us what you like," he suggested gently.
One by one, they helped her try on the outfits. Each brother offered encouraging words, making her feel more at ease. When she saw herself in a mirror wearing the pink dress and sparkly shoes, a shy smile spread across her face. "Y-you look p-pretty, Athy," Giovanni said, snapping a few pictures with his phone.
After selecting several outfits, they made their way to McDonald's on Via del Corso. The restaurant was busy, but their presence caused a subtle ripple of awareness among the patrons. Dante ordered a variety of meals while Vittorio found a quiet corner table. Athena sat on Valerio's lap, her eyes lighting up when her Happy Meal arrived.

Valerio opened the box for her, revealing a small burger, fries, apple slices, and a toy. "Look, Athy! It's a toy!" he said, handing it to her.
Athena took a tentative bite of her burger and then smiled. "I-it's g-good," she said, her stutter barely noticeable in her excitement. The brothers watched her with warm smiles, enjoying their meals and each other's company. They laughed and joked, making sure Athena felt included and loved.
After their meal, they returned to the SUV and drove to several more shops, picking up various items, including a set of pacifiers with cute designs. Athena was carried from place to place, always feeling safe and secure in her brothers' arms.
As the day wound down, they headed back to their luxurious villa. Vittorio carried Athena to the bathroom to give her a bath, ensuring she was comfortable and safe. "Let's get you cleaned up, Athy," he said softly, filling the tub with warm water.
Athena nodded, feeling a bit shy but trusting Vittorio completely. He undressed her carefully, mindful of her fractured rib and broken leg. Lowering her gently into the tub, he began to wash her with a soft cloth, making sure the water was just right.
"Is the water okay?" Vittorio asked, his voice gentle and reassuring.
"Y-yes, it's n-nice," Athena replied, relaxing in the warm water.
Vittorio made the bath playful and fun, using a cup to pour water over her head and letting her play with a few bath toys. Athena giggled as he made funny faces, easing her apprehension. After the bath, he dried her off with a soft towel and dressed her in new pajamas. He then carried her to his room, where a small bed had been set up beside his own.
"Do you want your pacifier, Athy?" Vittorio asked, holding out one of the new pacifiers.
"Y-yes, p-please," Athena replied, taking the pacifier and popping it into her mouth. She clutched Caramella close, feeling a sense of comfort.
Vittorio sat beside her bed, reading her a bedtime story until her eyes began to droop. "Goodnight, my sweet Athy," he whispered, kissing her forehead.
"G-goodnight, V-Vitty," Athena murmured around her pacifier, her eyes closing as she drifted off to sleep.
Vittorio watched her for a moment, ensuring she was completely at peace before he climbed into his own bed. The room was filled with a quiet the soft snores of both of them.
