The Mafia Family

Chapter 37

The kids were in the room as Rocky stood near the window, holding her stuffed bear as Dash moved around, walking with his hands which was difficult.
He fell which made him laugh and made Rocky annoyed.
"What are you even doing that even though you can do it right."

"Because Juliette said if I keep trying, then eventually I can do it. I like it actually."

"Whatever. Once this is done, we'll be home."

"What are you talking about? Once this is done, we're not going home."

"Yeah we are. Once they take down that guy Victor and his guys, there's nothing else to do but go back home. Where we belong."

"No way. If there's a chance to stay here, I'm taking it."

"You don't belong in this place. We both don't. We're only here for a while until they get Victor and his guys and once they're done, they're going to take us back and we will never see them again! It's over!"

"It doesn't seem over since you seemed to like it here. You look happy and you know deep down you don't want to leave! This place is great!"

"We don't belong here. They were just take us somewhere and before we know it, we'll be back in our district and they would promise they'll be back to see us, and next thing we know they don't ever come back and forget about us and forget about the promise we made! The promise you said we'll be together again when things are good!"

"They're not like that. They can keep their promise if we do go back, they would visit us like they promise."

"Oh shut up! Promises means shit! They don't care about keeping a promise, all they care about themselves and they're image. They don't care about you."

"They do. If they're going to ask us to stay here then I'm taking that offer. We can have a life here, with no worries and no struggles. We can have fun here!"

"I don't think so. They won't want us here when they took him down. It's best to not have hopes. Any hopes or anything, you know we can't be all worked up about anything. That may be a lie. I don't want to be let down and disappointed."

They heard the door opened and it was Juliette and Renny. The two looked at each other and Rocky whispered, "Don't get all excited for something that's not going to happened. Remember."

"Fine."

"How you guys doing?"

"We're doing fine."

"We're good."

"I need to speak with you too. Something important and I've been thinking about it. It's been on my mind and feel free to think about it."

"What is it?"

"How about you feel in staying here, with us."

"What do you mean? Staying here"

"I mean staying here with us as a family."

"What? Family?"

"What do you mean a family? Meaning?"

"Meaning Elijah and I. I've been thinking about having you stay here and have a life here. I want you guys to stay with us, with Elijah and I being your parents. I think it would be great and you don't have to go back to the District anymore. You don't have to struggle or worry about anything. You guys deserve the life as any other kid, what do you say?"

"You want us? Really want us and nothing else?"

"Just the care and protection. I know this would be great. Being happy and..."
