Giovanni had married in December of 1921 and gotten his own estate with his wife and just now getting ready for the arrival of their first-born child. 
This meant that it was just Anthony, Molly and Henry left, Giovanni over quite frequently though.

Molly had tried to be friends with the woman her eldest brother had gotten married to, but the woman in question didn't seem to like her very much.  Molly could sense it and she wasn't exactly fond of her either. She'd tell Anthony about it quite a lot and even say that they were perfect for each other.

Henry had been trying to get his daughter to interact with possible suitors since the beginning of 1922, but she would always find an excuse not to like any man she was introduced to. 
He was growing increasingly tired of this and was almost ready to tell her that she either had to choose someone or he was going to choose for her,  however, there was one more thing he was going to try before he took to that plan of action.

Anthony sat in his bedroom alone just before dinner. 
So far, since February of 1921, a total of fifty-six letters had been exchanged been himself and Alastor, having at least one phone call every month since their first call as well. Of course, there were maybe one or two instances where they had to postpone and since Anthony had been given Alastor's information, he did all of the callings to minimize the risk of getting caught at a bad time when Henry was still present.

Going over all of the thirty-one letters that he had to relocate to a better hiding place considering how many he had accumulated. Time wasn't slowing down and he was starting to worry that maybe he wouldn't get to go back to New Orleans. Once Giovanni's child was born, he would be taking time away to help care for his new family, seeing as his wife didn't want to have a nanny. 

Anthony had to admit, he was surprised to hear that his brother was actually willing to take part in any of that.
Not that it mattered. What mattered was the fact that once October hit and the baby was born in November, Anthony would take Giovanni's place as his father's right-hand man until further notice. 

He had made a lot of successful hits and gave a fair number of helpful tips and suggestions that aided everyone involved with the Family, so it did seem that being bought up further into the system would have been a  good thing for him, and because he wasn't allowed to marry or have children of his own, this would turn into his life until the day his father died. From there, he wasn't sure what to expect.

There was a gentle knock at the door as his sister's voice came through.
"Tony? Papa wants t' see ya in his office b'fore we eat."
She said.

Anthony started putting all of the letters back in their box as he spoke.
"Alright. I'll be there in a few minutes."
He replied calmly, hearing Molly start to walk away from the door and back downstairs.

Lifting one of the floorboards under his bed, Anthony put the box safely into the small space and covered it up again before standing and making his way out to the bathroom to make sure he was presentable.

Flicking the light on, he moved over to the mirror, adjusted the cuffs of his white shirt, and made sure it was tucked into his pants properly. He brought a hand up to his jaw and took note of how much more definition he had gained in both his jawline and cheekbones over the few years. He was also quite a bit taller now as well, standing at approximately five foot ten now. If his memory served him correctly, he was five foot eight when he first met Alastor. 
He could remember how much taller the man was than him, thinking he mentioned that he was six foot two in one of his letters at some point and knew he wouldn't be growing anymore.
