For three blissful months, the Falcone family enjoyed a period of complete peace. During this time, Remo proposed to Serafina, and Nino and Hope grew closer. Everything seemed perfect, but the tranquility was short-lived. Emerging threats began to s...

As we entered the mansion, we headed straight to the gaming room, where the rest of the family were waiting. No sooner had we entered than the family crowded around us.
Leona was gushing over how cute the baby was and how much Hope and I deserved to be happy, starting a new family. Fabiano gave me a pat on the back.
Serafina carried Greta, so she could see the new member of the family. Greta seemed a little cautious, but relaxed when she saw Hope was the one holding Alessio.
Nevio crawled towards Hope's legs trying to see what was happening. I immediately lifted him up so he could have a better look.
"Nevio and Greta will protect Alessio once they grow old. I'll teach them how to fight." Remo said, resting his have on my shoulder.
"Honestly, I don't think Greta has a single violent bone in her body." Hope said, gently stroking Alessio's cheek.
After all the introduction, Hope handed Alessio over to me to get him his bottle. Once she returned, I was going to have Alessio to her because she loved feeding him the last few times.
Hope stopped me with a gentle touch on my arm. "It's your turn to feed him."
She climbed on the back rest of the sofa, placed her legs on either side of my shoulder save slowly started running her have through my hair. It felt so good.
Remo walked up to Hope and handed her an ointment about fifteen minutes later. She got off the sofa and kneeled in front of me. She slowly rubbed the ointment on the cigarette burns on his tiny little stomach.
He seemed to like it. After she was done, I handed Alessio over to her and pulled her into my lap.
I had everything I needed with me. I felt so whole.
"When do you want to marry?" I asked her, gently trailing kisses all over her face.
"Honestly, I want to wait till we have taken care of Carmine. That way we don't have to worry about anything at all." Hope was looking up at me with so much love in her eyes. For a few moments, I totally forgot about Carmine and his threat.
Even after a few days, we couldn't find anything much about Alessio. Not even his birthday. Hope was devastated. We decided to celebrate his birthday every 1st of July.
--------------------------------------------- Remo and I decided to tell Adamo about our mother. We've always told him that mother died when he was a child.
We had told Savio, a few months back but he didn't care much saying 'he didn't want anything to do with someone who tried to kill him.
However Adamo had a completely different reaction.
"She's my mother, Remo. I want to see her." Adamo was raising his voice, getting frustrated. Hope gave me a nervous look.
That woman was not stable. Which is why she is kept at a high security, mental hospital. Only one of us brothers can get her out.
"Remo, I think you should let him visit her." Hope said, surprising both Remo and me. "I mean, if you don't he'll forever hold that against you. Let him see her for himself. That way he'll be able to move on with no regrets."
She did have a valid point. But the danger we're putting our family at was immense.
"Fine." Remo walked over to Adamo, grabbing his collar. "Don't you dare spill anything about our family. If something goes wrong don't hesitate to call." He ran his hands over his face. "I've got a bad feeling about this whole thing."
To be honest, so much could go wrong. I don't want to put, Remo's or my family in harm's way. But Hope had a valid point. If we didn't let him, he'll always wonder who she is and hold that against us.
