Regina's Pov

"They're done and they'll be shipped to you by tomorrow noon." Max said

"Did you make sure to minimize the backfire when they shot and did you made them small enough for them?" I asked

"Yes, all of that was done, but don't the kids heal faster than other kids?" Max asked

"Yes, but just because they're stronger, faster, smarter and heals faster than their peers, they're still just kids." I said

I know it's wrong to raise your kids about how to shot guns and use knives instead of playing with kids their age, but there is a price to pay in the Mafia world.

I just want my kids to be safe.

"I wish, I was born in a normal life, so that the kids can live like normal kids"I said

"Even so, you can't change the world you were born into and if you were born with a normal life, you won't have meet us or had bella and Elijah." Max said

He's right, if I was born normal, I wouldn't have meet the others, had my babies or meet... him.

"You're right Max and thanks for being there." I said

"You're welcome and you don't have to thank me. You're like a sister to me." Max said while patting me on my head

"Max, you just had to ruin the moment. Move your damn hand from my head, I'm not a fucking dog " I said

Pulling his hand away from head, he started laughing.

I smirk at how much of a fool he is at times.

A lot of people in the Mafia world would shocked to find out that one of the most deadliest assassins, was basically a fool in front me.

"Let go ahead and finish looking for them and leave soon." Max said

I nodded

"By the way, why didn't you call them earlier and where is your brother and cousin?" Max asked

"Because those idiots left their phones at the house. Ross and Zara went to Apple to buy some new laptops before school starts." I said

"So the big bad Mafia Donna is going to school again." Max said with a teasing voice

Getting annoyed of his teasing, I pulled my arm up and elbowed him hard in the side.

"Shit, I forgot you hit hard." Max said holding his side

"Stop being a baby, you're man. You know what, you're not a man. You're a man baby."

After saying that, I walked pass him and continued to look for the others.

*20 minutes later*

Walking pass a children's clothing store, I spotted Roxy looking through clothes in the girls section.

Turning around to tell him that I found them,only to see him flirting with some girl. Walking over to him, I grabbed him by the ear and smiled at the girl. I then dragged him into the store by the ear.

"Be gentle, ow ow ow" Max said

"Instead of flirting, you should be helping and also I found them." I said, letting go of his ear

Walking over to the girl's section, I went up behind Roxy and tapped her on the shoulder.

Turning around, she was surprised to see me and Max behind her.

"Re...Regina, I know that you might be a little mad that we left you like that." Roxy said

"Roxy, you and Kim know damn well that if you going somewhere with the kids, that you should have your phones. As for Kim, she should have the necklace I gave her on her and she should have told you about the incident that happened with kids." I said calmly with a smile

When Isabella was a few months old and Elijah was one, Kim had took them to the mall one day without me knowing while I was at work and all three of them almost got kidnapped if wasn't for the necklace alerting me when Kim pressed the jem.

"Sorry Regina, I'll remember not to do it again." Roxy said

Why? Why am I surrounded by child like adults?

It feels like I'm disciplining my own child.

"Where are Kim and my babies?" I asked

"They're in the dressing room." Roxy said

Putting the clothes back on the rack, Roxy then showed us the way to the dressing room.

Reaching the dressing room to see Elijah sitting in one of the chairs in the dressing room.

"Elijah" I said

Hearing me calling his name, He turned around to see me and smiled for a minute before disappearing.

"Mommy, I'm sorry for going off like that and not taking my ring with me." Elijah said

After the incident, I gave Kim a necklace, Elijah a ring which was his father's and Isabella a pair of earrings. Each of them had a tracking device in them.

"Sense you know what you did wrong, you will not get no dessert for a month and no devices for two weeks." I said

Elijah inherited my hacking skills and took him five months to be able to have the skills to break into the FBI's database. So, technology is really important to him.

"But-"

"No buts, this is your punishment." I said

I don't really hide anything from the kids that much unless it doesn't involved my assassin job and something to do with 'that' place.

Elijah knew about the incident that had happen when he was one and Bella was a few months.

I know it might be harsh, but I have to do this. The Mafia world is cruel and some Mafias will not hesitate to kill children.

If that incident repeats itself, I won't forgive myself if something were to happen to my babies.

"Here comes the beautiful prin-"

Coming out of one of the dressing rooms, Kim paused at what she was going to say when she saw me.

"Kim, triple the training starting tomorrow morning at 5 am." I said

Kim tried to say something, but I gave a look to tell her to be quiet. After seeing that, she shut her mouth.

"Mommy"

Looking behind Kim to see bella in a beautiful cute white dress.

*They're speaking Swahili*

"Mtoto, unaonekana mrembo sana." (Baby, you look so beautiful) I said

"Asante mama."(Thank you, mommy) Bella said

"You're welcome, but you're in trouble too. No dessert for a month." I said

"Mommy, I know I was bad,but just one week without dessert,please?" Bella asked while batting her eyelashes

I glared at Kim for teaching her that. She then avoided eye contact with me.

"No, you can not and you're getting your devices taken away just like your brother as well." I said

Knowing that she can't win, she didn't say other word and accepted her punishment.

"Go change back into your clothes and give me the dress, so I can pay for it." I said

"Ok mommy" Isabella said

Bella then went Kim right behind her to help her change her clothes.

*RING RING RING*

Hearing my phone ring, I looked at my watch to see it was my personal phone. Taking out to see it was Ross calling me. I pressed the accept icon and placed the phone to my ear.

"Hello"

"Gina, we just finished getting our laptops and a few other things." Ross said

"Ok, I just found my friends and kids. Let's meet at the food court." I said

"Ok, also Zara had meet a friend of hers. Is it ok if she can come?" Ross asked

"That's fine, see you in a few"

After saying that, I hung up and placed my phone in my back pocket.

When I had finished my call with Ross, Kim and Bella had came out of the dressing room.

"Ross and Zara had finished their shopping and we're meeting at the food court." I said

"Ok. We're finished here, so we can go ahead and head to the food court." Kim said

Grabbing the dress from Kim, I went to the counter to pay the dress while the others were at the entrance.

"That be $10,000, ma'am"

Taking out card, I handed it to her.

I really don't have to pay for it since it's one of my stores. The money will just come right back into my pocket. This is just pocket change to me, so it really doesn't matter.

I could just get one of my employees to make bella a dress. This dress is one of the outfits in my new brand that I had released a week ago.

"Here you go ma'am, have a nice day."

I nodded

Grabbing my card and the bag, I headed to the exit.

"We go now" I said

"Let's go, I'm hungry from all this walking." Max said

"You're always hungry. Also, Roxy this is Max, Max this is Roxy." I said

"Nice to meet you" Roxy said

"Hi, nice to meet you too." Max said and winked at her

"Can we go now?" Kim asked

"Ok crybaby, we can go now."

After saying that, all of us headed to the food court.

*10 minutes later*

Reaching the food court, I looked around for Zara and Ross. Looking over towards Joe's ice cream to see Zara and Ross talking with a a girl with burgundy hair.

"I see them" I said

"Where are they?" Kim asked

I pointed over to where they were. Putting my hand down, I walked over there with the others behind me.

"Finally found you two." I said

Hearing my voice they turned around.

"Sorry about leaving you guys behind." Ross said

"It's fine, also may I ask who is your friend?" I asked

"This is-"

Before Zara could finish, Max called out a name.

"Maria?"

"Max?" She said with a bit of anger

After hearing them each others names, all of us went quiet.

Well this is awkward
