Andrea's pov

Alexia has been sleeping peacefully on my bed for a few hours and I have just been watching over her. She tosses a couple of times before she gently rubs her eyes and opens them but then she shuts them and pulls the bed cover to cover her head. I assume the lights are what is irritating her so I turn them off and turn on the soft night lamp on my nightstand. She then moves the cover from her face slightly to peeks out from under the cover.

" I am Andrea Aurora Bianchi and you can call me whatever Andrea or Aurora. Don't be afraid I won't hurt you, no one will ever hurt you again, I promise." I said to her, my nerves were getting the better of me.

" I'm forty nine," she said in a squeaky voice as she removed the cover on her head.

" No, you are not forty nine anymore because you have a different life now, with family and freedom. Your name is Alexia Thalia Bianchi."

"Alexia, that's a funny name. Who said that is my name?" She says while giggling.

" Um well your mommy gave you that name since you didn't have a real name. You are going to be staying here now with your family  Would you like that?" I asked hoping she would say yes. Even though I wouldn't be happy about it, if she were to choose to stay with Vaselissa since she has known he all her life I would let her go. She puts as she ponders for a second.

" Um Aurora, what is a family?" She asks politely. I didn't think she wouldn't know what I'm talking about but then again she has been living in a cell.

" Family is a person or a group of people who protect you, love you, care and they would do anything for your happiness and safety, you become a part of their world when you arrive and they become a part of your world too." I replied hoping I simplified it and she gets the idea.

" Mhhh, I would like to have a family. I never had anyone before and it was just me and the shadows I would talk to whenever Lissa finished bathing me. There was also Lissa's friend, he wouldn't talk to me or do anything but he kept me company. Every night he would come down to see me and stand by the wall outside, he would just look at me, he was always sad. The only time I ever heard him speak was when he would fight with the bad scary man with the thing on his one eye." She added. I'm assuming the thing on the eye is Armando's scar and he is the bad man, Viktor is probably the weirdo who would watch her every night.

" Did they ever do anything that made you cry or sad or was painful to you?" I asked in a shaky voice.

" No, Lissa and her friend kept the bad scary man out of my room so no one ever made me cry." She said as she shook her head.
At least they didn't do too much damage to her, she is still innocent and she hasn't seen the vileness and cruelty of this world.
I think I will tell her I'm her mommy once she can understand what that even is, she is really out of touch with a lot of things. I then went downstairs and got her some food which she ate gladly with her hands after putting the spoon aside. Antonio walked inside with Nico, Antonio is a genius and a life saver.

I walked to him before I said" would you believe me if I said I was just about to call you up.  Bringing Nico here was very thoughtful. I do think she needs to learn some toddler etiquette. Nico is definitely the right man for the job,"

" There is my favourite nephew, listen spawn, that over there is your cousin Alexia and she is around your age but she is not used to people and she doesn't know a lot of things, can you become her friend and just teach her whatever spawns think and do?" I asked, raising my eyebrows with a smile.

" So cool, cousin, Zhuri is my baby aunt and she doesn't really talk so trust me I'm happier about Alexia joining the family. Don't worry Aunty Andry I will take care of her like a big brother and I will teach her to be smart like me," Nico said jumping up and down with excitement. Great, I knew my spawn wouldn't disappoint.

" Go on now, hop along spawn. I mean run along dear nephew," I said with a nervous smile since Antonio's eyes were like daggers the moment I referred to him as a spawn.

"You know Amorina this is actually good. Now I can call your child silly names too and you can't do anything about it," Antonio said giving me a side smile.

" How about Parrot?" He said while arching his eyebrow. Parrot? Wait  a minute.

" Antonio Bianchi please tell me you are not deciding to call  her a parrot because she lived in a cell, that is cold Antonio and too mean for someone like you. At the rate you are going  you don't stand a chance because Armani is already her favourite uncle." I say.

" Cage, cell it's not so different . Alright I'm joking Aurora, it was a dark joke. Sorry. I love my socially awkward niece." Antonio said with an innocent smile.
