I was so happy when we made it back home.
"Mommy!", Marciano exclaimed as he ran out.
"Hey my baby boy," I said as leaned down to hug him.
"I missed you," he mumbled into my shoulder.
"I missed you too," I said as I leaned back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He ran out of my arms and went to give Marciello a hug.
"Y'all staying daddy?", he asked him.
"Mommy will be with you, but daddy has to go somewhere for a little while," Marciello told him.
"Why you gotta leave?", Marciano asked pouting.
"It's for business, hijo," Marciello told him.
"Daddy will be back soon Marciano, it's a short business trip," Marciello told him.
"You promise?", Marciano asked, sticking out his pinky.
"Cross my heart," Marciello said as he connected his pinky with his.
"I have to go now, but I'll see you soon," Marciello said as he gave Marciano a kiss on the forehead.
"Okay, I love you," Marciano told him.
"I love you too," Marciello told him.
I went over and gave Marciello a hug. I hoped everything would be as easy as he was saying.
"I love you, bebé," he told me.
"I love you too," I said as I pulled away and gave him a kiss. He sat Marciano down and started walking toward the car.
"Kiss the babies for me," he said. I nodded and we watched as he left.
Marciano and I went back inside the house.
"So what did you do while I was gone?", I asked him.
"I learned how to shoot!", he said, excitedly.
"Shoot? With what?", I asked.
"A gun," this man said as he came in.
"Don't worry. I took care of the guy who taught him," he grinned.
"Who are you?", I asked.
"Deonté," he said.
"Not to be rude or anything, why are you still here? I thought Marciello sent the gang home," I said.
"Some of us. Most of us are here patrolling the area, keeping you and this little guy safe," Deonté said.
I nodded,"Well don't let me stop you from doing your job," I said as I grabbed Marciano's hand and went up the stairs. I heard little giggles and I opened up the babies' room, getting ready to see them.
But it had red lasers all over it.
"Sorry about that Mrs.Romani," a big man said as he turned off the lasers.
"It's okay," I said. I guess Marciello wasn't playing with security this time.
I went into their room and they started moving around more.
I looked at them and their hands were reaching out.
I picked them up and held them.
"Hey my babies," I said. They giggled and started pulling on my hair. Damn that shit hurt.
I went to sit down on one of the couches, while Marciano set on the one next to me.
"Mommy can I sleep with you tonight?", Marciano asked.
"Sure baby," I told him. I sat the twins back in their cribs, since I noticed they were drifting off to sleep.
After I did that Marciano went into my room and laid down on the bed.
"Do you want to watch a movie?", I asked him.
"Yeah, can we watch the trumpet of the swan?", he asked. I nodded my head and got into bed with him.
We both continued watching the movie until we fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I noticed I had a missed call from Marciello.
I hurried up and dialed his phone number. I sighed in relief when he picked up.
"Good morning, bebé," he said.
"Good morning, how is everything going?", I asked.
"It's going good, right now we are just watching their behaviours and figuring out some weak spots in their system," Marciello said.
"Do these guys look big and scary?", I asked him.
"Compared to me? No. To you they probably do, but there's nothing I can't handle. We are thinking about just bombing the place, but the cops said it would be too much," Marciello said.
"So your just going to kill them individually?", I asked him.
"That's the plan bebé," he said.
"Do you think that they will ask you to do something after this?", I asked him.
"I don't know, hopefully not. How are the kids doing?", he asked.
"They're doing good. They're sleeping right now," I said.
"That's good. You know what I was thinking?", Marciello asked.
"No, what?", I asked him.
"I was thinking that when I get back, we could try for a girl," he said.
"The babies are still pretty young, I don't know about that," I said.
"What I actually meant is your most likely pregnant again and it's probably a girl. I didn't pull out. I love you bebé," Marciello said as he hung up the phone.
