Francesco's POV
"Where's my beautiful grand daughter!" My mom Franca smiled hugging me.  "Hey mom! Shes in our room with Lana."  "How's she doing so far? As a mom." Franca said crossing her arms. "She's great. Just like I thought she would be."   "Mmm. Well let's go see her." She said running to the bedroom. Oh boy. "Hey Franca" Lana said smiling, holding Amelia on our bed.

"Hello Elizabeth. Oh my goodness! She is so beautiful Francesco!!" Mom said sitting next to Lana. "Thanks mom"    "can I hold her?" She asked Lana. "Of course." Lana replied giving her to my mom. She takes her and can't stop smiling. "Isn't she amazing." Lana said grinning then smiles at me. "She is. How're you Elizabeth?"  

"I'm okay. Still tired and Francesco and I have been up all night but that's just part of the job."    "You're right. Sounds like you're handling it well."   "I am." Lana said shaking her head then I smile at her . "I know you've been thinking about going on tour soon, so when?"   "I haven't actually. I think it's too soon for that." Lana replied,I can tell she's already bothered by my mom, which I get, she keeps questioning her. "Hm. Well just let me know when you have the dates so I can come stay with Francesco and beautiful Amelia."  Then I roll my eyes.

"I'm not going on tour soon." Is all Lana said. "Ok.." Mom said like she doesn't believe her.

My mom just left "My god she drives me insane." Lana said laying on the bed. "I know babe. I'm sorry, she's crazy, we all know this."   "I know...she just makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong."    "Doing what wrong babe?" I asked sitting next to her then I put my hand on her thigh. "Parenting. She always makes my confidence go down the drain."   


"Don't let her. You're amazing Lana, you need to remember that, you're not doing anything the wrong way."   "Ok. You're right." I said. "I love youuuuuu" I said smiling and kissing Lanas neck. She laughs then hugs me and falls onto me "I love you too" she grins.

Lanas POV
I'm on my way to chucks, francesco is at home with Amelia.

"Hey babe." I said hugging Chuck. "Whaddup!" Chuck says grinning. We walk inside chucks condo and sit outside on the patio "So guess who came to visit today."    "Who?"    "Franca" I frowned. "Ugh! Did she insult you?"   "Yep. She told me I was putting her to sleep wrong, then that I was buying the wrong diapers. "    


"Oh my god. She's crazy. I can't stand that lady." Chuck laughed. "Me either."    "I'm gonna go make me some rum and coke." Chuck said getting up. "I want one!" I said. "Okay" Chuck agreed. I occasionally have a drink. It's not a big deal.

Chuck and I get our rum and cokes then sit back on the patio I sip mine "ahhhh that's good" I smile. Chuck laughs then sips hers. "I'm surprised I never had a drinking problem. I feel like it should have been both of the sisters." Chuck says. "Let's not talk About my drinking problems while I'm drinking." I laughed.


"Are you sure you don't want to come to johns party with me??"   "Yeahhh I would but Keegan doesn't want to go. He'll be tired after the flight."    "Fine" I sighed. "I'm sorry!"   "It's fine. I have Marina" I smirked. Chuck laughs then hits my arm, then we get another rum and coke. It's our 4th one.

I just got back to our condo, I walk inside and see Franca and Francesco sitting on the sofa. "Hey." I said walking in. I didn't know she would be here "So you don't put your daughter to sleep?" Franca said. "Mom really" Francesco said putting his hand on his head. "What do you mean?" "You missed her bed time. You just left it for Francesco to do." I walk over and fold my arms "you're not my mom you know that right?"

"Lana" Francesco mumbled trying to calm me down, he reaches for my arms. "I'm just saying it's ridiculous...and your breath smells like whiskey. That's what you're out doing."

Francesco's POV
Oh Shes about to get so mad. "I was with my sister!!! I'm not out doing anything wrong if I want a drink I can have one!" Lana yells "now you're yelling at me like you're drunk!" Oh boy. Lana does seem a little tipsy. Which is so not good. "Mom you should leave, Come on Lana" I said putting my arm around her, she pushes me away "You're not welcome here! I don't know who you think you are talking to me like that!!" Lana said walking closer to my mom

"Lana come on!" I yelled taking her arm. "You're gonna let her by your kid while she's drunk!" "I'm not fucking drunk! Oh my god! You're crazy!" Lana said throwing her hand in the air. I pull lana into our room and close the door "lana stop" I said holding both of her arms and staring at her "no Francesco! She acts like I'm fucking wasted! I'm not even drunk!" "I know. I know. It's ok." I said knowing she's a little drunk/tipsy, she's just upset and the alcohol didn't help with handling my mom. "Oh my god. I can't stand her! I don't want her here anymore." Lana said starting to cry.

"Come on baby calm down. It's ok. She's not going to be here if you don't want her here." I said pulling Lana to the bed and sitting down. She does smell like whiskey. She wipes her eyes then sighs "Take a deep breath." I said rubbing her back. "We just need to stop yelling and calm down..I don't want to wake up Amelia." "I'm sorry. I'm awful" Lana sobbed looking at Amelia. "No you're not. Come on " I said pulling Lana up, we change into our pajamas then I get in bed.

Lana walks up to the crib and kisses Amelia "momma loves you" she smiles then lays next to me, I wrap my arms around her waist then keep kissing her neck "I love youuuu." I said. "I love you too baby." She said holding my hand.

I wake up to Francesco crawling on top of me on the bed. "Morning babe" he said grinning, I smile then kiss him, he gets up and walks over to Amelia and picks her up. I sit up "fuck"   "What?" Francesco asked. "Nothing." I said smiling. "You have a hangover don't you?"   "Not really.i wouldn't call it a hangover..my head is just hurting."    "It's because you're not use to drinking."    "It's not a big deal. Your mom just made me mad and I could have handled it better instead of screaming in her face but I don't regret it."

"I know. I didn't think it was a big deal that you had some drinks but my now I'm not gonna stop hearing about it from my mom."   "I'm sorry...I didn't know she'd be over.."    "It's ok. Let's just move on."  Francesco smiled. I take Amelia and kiss her then rock her back and forth.
