"Snap" Amias yells slamming his hand on top of the deck of cards.

"What" I respond shocked. I'm currently losing at snap to a 4 year old.

"Anna that is pitiful" Luciano states whilst him and my cousins laugh at me.

I groan before staring down at the 5 playing cards I have left. This is pathetic.

"Is Anna still losing to Amias" Uncle Angelo says walking into the room with my father, uncle Dom and uncle Marco walking behind him.

"What are you feeding this boy, he's already smarter than Kai" I ask Uncle Angelo who chuckles. Kai then sends a pillow flying towards me.

It's our last night in Italy. Today we had a party for Nonna celebrating her birthday. She invited some of her rich old friends. I'm going to miss seeing my family but it's okay. They can fly over at any moment.

"I'm sure he gets his brains from his mama" Uncle answers before sighing. He seems sad.

"What happened to his mom" I ask and a silence falls over the room. "In fact what happened to all your baby mamas".

Leonardo and federico tense their jaw whilst Luciano and Luca frown bowing their heads to the floor.

"Sorry i shouldn't have-" I begin noticing their reactions but Leonardo cuts me off.

"It's fine Anna, our mom was a money grabbing bitch. She used my father for his money not expecting she'd get pregnant. The second she gave birth to me she left" Leonardo answers clenching his jaw.

"Somehow though dad met up with her a year or so later to berate her... that's not what happened and here Rico is" Leonardo laughs although Rico doesn't find it amusing.

"Our mom died during childbirth" Luca then says still frowning. Well this suddenly became depressing.

"I'm sorry" I reply not really knowing what to say.

"It's fine it's not like we knew her" Luciano answers but I can sense the sadness in his tone.

Uncle Angelo stares at his sons, guilt and pity painted across his face. I suppose it's not his fault he just has real bad luck with women.

"Amias mom is actually alive and well, she lives in Spain where Amias was born" Uncle Angelo states and my eyes go wide. At least this one isn't dead or gone.

"But Amias speaks an African language right" I ask eyeing my uncle suspiciously.

"Yes he does. His mother is Nigerian but she was studying in Spain. So Amias actually understands some Spanish as well... he's multilingual" Uncle Angelo says ruffling his son's curls.

"He's definitely smarter than Kai I'm confident about that now" I say causing the twins to laugh. Before I know it Kai has lunged at me, hitting me with a pillow.
