" IF YOU CANT LOVE WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE, THEN YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE GOT''

~ ED SHEERAN

'' happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you Marco! happy birthday to you! '' everyone in the room sang as they all stood and clapped their hands

'' happy birthday Marco '' Benjamin and Lisa said as they handed the little one-year-old boy a shiny big box which was wrapped in a gold gift wrap paper.

'' where's Valentina, savannah and Adriana? '' Alessandra asked as she kept the gift aside

'' sleeping at home, but bell didn't want to go to sleep '' Lisa said

'' and if we kept her there at home I don't think the other's would even sleep tonight '' Benjamin filled in for Lisa.

'' zio Toni! '' ( uncle Toni ) bella shouted as she tackled Antonio's legs

'' hi Bella! '' Alessandra said as she picked up Bella and kissed her cheeks

'' You look so sweet in that dress '' she said as Bella scrunched her eyebrow's

'' sweet? '' she asked her aunt and she nodded

'' MAMA! '' Dante shouted as soon as he saw Alessandra carry a four-year-old baby Bella

'' Dante! '' Bella shouted in joy as she tried to wiggle her way out of Alessandra's grasp

the minute she was on her feet she rushed to Dante and started to kiss his cheeks and pull his cheeks

'' NO! STOP! '' Dante yelled for help as the adults laughed at him

'' serves you right '' Antonio said laughing

'' alright Bella, leave the poor boy alone '' Lisa said as she pulled Bella away from Dante

'' I got cooties now! '' Dante yelled as he started to cry

'' handle him '' Alessandra said as she took Marco from Antonio and placed him on the high chair

'' Lisa, tag along you can give Bella to Benjamin '' Alessandra said as Lisa nodded and left Bella with Benjamin.

alessandra led Lisa to the big room which she had turned into a nursery for her boys. The walls were painted with a soft blue colour and at one corner of the room where story books and soft toys.

'' how are the kids? '' Alessandra asked Lisa as she placed Marco on the soft rubber floor and grabbed a glass of orange juice for them both.

'' all good, Valentina had a fever last week but she is fine now '' Lisa said as she drank from her glass

'' Lucca and Marco are turning two next week, gosh I have another party to throw! ''Alessandra groaned in pain.

'' speaking of Lucca and Marco, where are they? '' Lisa asked as she gave Marco a soft toy

'' at my sister's house, '' Alessandra said as she huffed

'' remember that one time when I was single and free and now I'm a mother of four and a wife to a crazy husband '' Lisa said as Alessandra laughed

'' oh my god! yes! '' Alessandra said

'' everything was so peaceful we didn't have to worry who would be watching our backs or who would be following us. but now even if I go to the mall I'm scared shitless '' Lisa replied as he smiled remembering her good old days

'' I'm worried aless '' Lisa said

'' me too. After that phone call from the Mexicans, me too '' Alessandra said as she lifted Macro and turned him towards the toys
