Teddy PoV

Ro, Georgie and I were on the train to get to Nana's, I had put Ro on a seat while I was standing beside the seat, since there wasn't really many seats at that time of the Day, since it was peak time on the trains.

"Unca Doudie huwt Dada"
"I know Baby, I know"
"Dada up!"
"What's the magic word Ro?"
"Pwease Dada"
"Ok Buba"

So I picked Ro up, I mean, how could I not with the way she was looking up at me, then I motioned Georgie to sit down in the seat, since I wasn't gonna lose the seat just because I was holding Ro.

"Teddy, she's totally got you wrapped around her little finger"
"(Snorts), Kid that happened the day she was born, though apparently you were off with the fairies that day Georgie boy"
"Oh fuck off Teddy"
"Loves you too Georgie"

Georgie for some reason, flipped me the bird, even though it was totally uncalled for, (in my opinion), I was lucky that my precious child didn't see it.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't try to teach little missy here how to flip the bird Georgie boy, I'd really like to keep her as innocent as possible, I know, I know, it is an almost impossible feat with our family history, so sue me"
"You're not wrong about the family history thing, but she didn't even pay attention to what I'm doing though Dad"
"Figlio itiota"
"Hey!, I'm not an idiot boy"
"(Snorts), so you did pay attention to Nana when she taught us Italian, good job there Georgie boy"
"Nana!"
"(Chuckles), yes Sweetheart, we're going to Nana's house to see Nana, what a clever girl you are Bambina"
"(Giggles)"

The rest of the train journey was uneventful, 20 minutes later and we're at the train station near Nana's house, so then we walked to her house and knocked on the door, as polite people do when they go to somebody's house.

"Come in!"

So Georgie and I walked into Nana's house, I still had Ro in my arms, as any 'kind of' an adult would with a little human would.

"Hey Nana"
"Oh my God, Georgie, you've changed an awful lot, come here, I've missed you mister"
"I missed you too Nana"
"Come on, sit down already, how's young lady here?"
"(Snorts), she chucked food that Mum made yesterday at her"
"It icky"
"She obviously found out about it not being editable then?"
"(Laughs), yeah, yeah she did"
"Nana!"
"Ok, ok, I'll let you down Buba"

I then let Ro down, and Ro toddled to Nana, since she wanted her Nana, though I really couldn't blame her, because I was just the exact same at Ro's age, Georgie and I sat down on Nana's old couch while Nana sat on her rocking chair with Ro on her lap.

"Georgie, what the hell happened to your face?!"
"Nothing"
"Georgie don't lie"
"But noth-"
"Your Mother may not ask questions, I mean that's how your brother was at parties every night of the fucking week, but I have standards and not lying to me is one of them, so one of you tell me what the hell happened?"
"(Sighs), some Coglione decided that Georgie was their next target, so I found them beat the vivendo merda out of Georgie, so I broke the Coglione's nose"
"That's terrible, let me get you an icepack Georgie"
"No, Nana, I'll get it, I'm pretty sure that your hip has been playing havoc recently"
"Don't make fun of my age young m-"
"I would never dream of doing that to you Nana"
"Good to know that you still respect your elders"

I walked into the hallway and then to the freezer to get an icepack, don't ask me why the freezer was in the hall because I couldn't tell you as I didn't lay out the house, I walked back into the living room.

"Teddy, it's in-"
"The right hand side of the freezer, yeah, yeah I know Nana"
"Good, just checking"
"I've needed it for myself only like a thousand different times"
"Don't be a smart arse Theodore"
"Ugh Nana"
"That'll teach you a lesson or two"

We chatted with Nana for a while about everything and nothing, until about 5pm, then Nana randomly got up.

"Woah, Nana, what are you doing?"
"I'm getting dinner Teddy, you know, the thing you eat at the end of the day"
"You didn't-"
"I know, but I wanted to, I like cooking, but it's not the same doing for just yourself, so you get family around your house, you cook, why is that hard to understand Teddy?"

I didn't argue with her further on that.

Figlio itiota is idiot boy in Italian, Bambina is the feminine word for baby in Italian, Coglione is fucker in Italian and vivendo merda is living shit in Italian.
