Chapter Fifty-Six - Being Named As A Jealous Person.

-----

ALEX'S POV

When I left in a rush to Italy, I had every intention of taking my angel with me, but after the unfortunate morning, I didn't want to talk to her.

I couldn't tell her that Moses called me and informed that Britney was on the move. I was so worried about Grace. I just wanted her to be safe, that's all.

I couldn't stop thinking about Grace all the time when we were in the private jet. I kept looking at my and Grace's wallpaper on my phone and then surfed through our pictures. I smiled and then shut it off and sat waiting to meet my greatest gift God had given to me, Nonno.

And just the mere thought of losing him made me shiver. I wanted to be strong for him. I wanted him to be with me. I wanted Grace to support me but she wasn't here. She was unknown by all of it.

The operation was on and I was so restless. I didn't eat or drink anything and just sat there waiting for someone to come out and give me good news. I stood away and watched the beautiful city out of the window.

"It's okay." Alan came to me and muttered. I looked at him and he had his regular emotionless face. 

"Alan, you know what Nonno means to us," I said and he nodded. He just patted my back twice. 

"Useless to cry. Wait." He said and I shut my eyes and nodded. Alan wasn't much of a talker. Since we were kids he'd utter maximum 5-7 words at a time. We were used to him. His phone rang and he left me.

I again looked out at the beautiful scenery in front of my eyes. I wished Grace was with me. I wanted her presence to be with me but I also knew I hurt her. I had asked Matt to look over her.

And then I heard her voice.

"Alex." I really couldn't believe that she was here. I hugged her so tightly that half of my peace came to me as soon as she hugged me. I cried.

She was my angel, my peace, my everything.

"Mom" I heard Grace summon to Mom and I was shaken. I watched how Mom smiled and hugged her. I remember her telling me how that word meant so much to me and she felt like Dory was like a mother to her.

I smiled in content. I wanted to give her a love of a family and she was getting it. Because she deserved it. I smiled as I walked towards her and hugged her from behind. I kept my hand on her waist, involuntarily.

"You guys are fire then all lovey-dovey, hard to look away from gestures." Ella joined and commented. Grace blushed and I nodded.

"We've gotta keep up the spark," I commented and laughed. We finally walked to the door where Nonno was shifted. I was the one who entered first. I took Grace's hand and took her with me. She was definitely surprised but came with me.

"Nonno!" I squealed like a little boy and went and hugged him. I let some tears fall. It didn't make me weak to cry, he was so important to me that I could hardly let my emotions at bay.

"Look at my little Lexi." He teased and laughed even though he was attached to tubes. He didn't show me how much pain he was going through.

"Nonno, don't do that in front of my love!" I said and I heard a small gasp, but she should know what was between us. I pulled her front and Nonno was more alert.
