The Mafia's Butterfly (Rewriting)

[22]

Clara

"We brought goodies-"

Before I can even walk into the hospital room, where Josey was sleeping when we left her, a hand flies over my mouth and I'm instantly pulled into a chokehold. 

"Shut up, you moron." 

I gasp under the hand over my mouth and throw my hand back into the person behind me. Lex groans in pain and tumbles to the floor, holding his groin area. I giggle and walk into the room further to put the goodies we got from the bakery down. 

"Do not, I repeat, do not call me a moron." I say and place my hands on my hips and stand in front of Lex, who is now standing up with a snarl. 

He makes a move towards me and I quickly duck and run underneath his arm and kick him in his back, sending him tumbling to the floor again.

"How are you getting beat by Lara?" Lix calls in from the front door, phone in hand and filming us. His laugh rings through the room and a few seconds later, Josey yawns and draws all of our attention. Lix puts his phone away and moves over to Josey, helping her up.

"Do you want me to make sure you can't have kids?" I whisper to Lex and he frantically shakes his head and throws his hands up in surrender.

"Remind me to cancel the rest of your combat training." Lex mumbles to himself, gets up and straightens out his clothes.

Josephina

"How long was I asleep for?" I ask Felix who is helping me up. How are they still here? Like I fell asleep and they could've left but they're still here. I've never been so grateful in my life. 

"Ask the twins because I got her about 10 minutes ago." A deep voice answers. My head shoots over to the left side of the hospital bed and there in all his artistic glory is Alexander. Now, when did he pitch up here? I don't know. Did I know that he was coming? Yes. Am I still ever so shocked that he's here just to see me? Yes.

"You weren't asleep for too long." Felix lets me know and takes a seat on my right side. I nod and smile slightly because they look just as exhausted as I am. 

"Lara. Sit." Alexander points to the seat in front of him. He doesn't sit in the seat himself but instead waits for Clara to pick up whatever is on the counter and then moves to the foot of the hospital bed and stays standing. 

"What's in there?" I ask curiously because I know that it wasn't there before. 

"We brought goodies!!" She cheers and starts doing a little happy dance. I giggle and cheer a little bit with her and then watch as she starts taking things out of the bag. 

"The slice of cake is for you, Lix." She hands over a small box and a plastic fork. Lix smiles and cheers as well and starts nibbling on his cake. 

"I got myself some biscuits which I'll take home." She takes out her own biscuits and puts them at the foot of my hospital bed.

"And the rest is yours!" She takes out the other few things and shows me what she got and then further describes how cute the bakery was where they bought everything. It sounds like a really cute bakery.

"And me?" Alexander asks, hands on the hospital bed railing and leaning forward slightly. 

"You don't get anything." She sticks out her tongue and opens her little bag of biscuits.

"And yet you used my card." He sighs and shakes his head, looking very much amused at his younger siblings. 

"Well, you called me a moron, so."
