"Mom is that man really related to dad?" Marcio asked me as we all evaded the living room and took up occupation in the kitchen. 

I huffed and looked at my son. "I think so bug. It seems that Gabriel is your uncle." I say with a half smile. "That's so wild. I can't believe we actually have an uncle that no one knew about!" Michel exclaimed high fiving Dean with a big smile on his face. 

I looked over at the other little kids as Ano V was trying to busy them with something so they don't sense the tension and life altering events happening around them.

"I kinda don't know who to feel bad for. My dad or his siblings." AJ said with a thoughtful expression. I shook my head "I feel as if I were in Gabriel shoes, he is the one who is the most vulnerable in this whole ordeal. He's the secret that was stuck in the closet for over 20 years."

"Yeah I wonder how Uncle Adriano held that in for sooooo loonngg." Raf dragged out with his eyebrows raised, hands folded leaning against the counters. I huffed and looked over at him while fixing Kaia's braid that got messed up at the end. "Your uncle is stronger than we all really truly realize. The things that man has seen and done, and had to deal with surpasses any of us in this house for sure. Even Matteo." I say. "I just really hope my sister can help fix this mess."

"I'm really sorry this had to happen love. But I am so very proud of you, you owned up to the mistake." I say as I had plopped down on his lap underneath the porch tent. 

His face screamed pissed off but his attitude was more somber. His hard set eyes laid ahead. I placed my hand on his cheek and gently rubbed his scruff he hadn't shaved this morning. Those blue eyes landed on mine instantly. There was something brewing in him.

"I don't have time to make it up to my immature siblings. I have so many threats to deal with and my daughters kidnapper to handle in the basement. If they want to be fucking brats, let them. " He bit out his words and sighed at the end. 

I was conflicted for him, he was trying to put up the walls to block out whatever it was that was haunting him and whatever I do wasn't going to let them come down. Atleast not right now. I wrap my arms around his neck puling him closer to me. I can physically feel him relax as he squeezes the life out of me. His face in my neck breathing me in. 

"I love you Adriano." I whisper warmly in his ear and kiss his cheek. I pull back slightly and see him slightly smile up at me. "You're too good for me." He murmurs as he rubs small circles on my waist. 

"No my love. We just complete each other, too well." I smile back. I grab his hand, and hop off of him pulling him so he could get up. We walk in silence back into the house. We pass the kitchen and see the kids still all in there. Adriano stops and walks in. All eyes land on us, but mostly him. 

"You guys okay." He asks looking around at everyone. They all nod simultaneously. 

Ano V walks up to us and grabs Adriano's arm "Adriano Penso che dovresti parlare con tuo fratello." (Translation: Adriano I think you should go speak to your brother.) She says in a serious tone.
