Marcello & Emilia

He awoke by very loud child-like cries.

He scanned the room for any children.

Was he going mad or was this one of those dreams where he sees himself taking care of his kids.

Marcello quickly looked down at a sleeping Emilia on his chest who still looked in fact pregnant.

He quickly pinched himself to see if he was dreaming.

Nope, not a dream. 

He scrunched his brows in confusion.

The house should be empty since everyone left for the vacation that's except for Gabriel who said he was staying at his penthouse.

He jumped when he heard the cries again but it was a lot louder and much closer.

Emilia shot up abruptly."Marcello do you hear that?"She asked him while looking back at him.

Marcello sighed. 

She heard it too.

So he wasn't going mad.

Thank God.

He was about to answer her but a loud knock at his bedroom door interrupted him from doing so.

Marcello got up and walked to his bedroom door to see who it was.

He swung the door open to find Gabriel with a little girl sobbing and clinging onto his neck for dear life and then he heard another wail and looked down to find another girl.

Marcello looked at Gabriel, his eyes holding so much confusion.

"Marcello, who is it?"Emilia asked him but when he didn't reply she made her way to him.

Emilias eyes widened in shock."Gabe are they-"

"Yes, please help me."He begged them.

Gabriel's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was a disheveled mess, and his work shirt was crinkled and had a stain on it.

Emilia nodded before taking the little girl on the ground into her hold and began consoling her within a few minutes the girl stopped crying and laid her head on Emilias shoulder.

Marcello also followed Emilias lead and took the sobbing girl from Gabriel and began consoling her.

"What's your name beautiful?"

The little girl rubbed her emerald green eyes before answering."Genevieve."

Emilia smiled and tapped the girl on her button nose."A beautiful name for a beautiful girl."The girl smiled before yawning and then placing her head in the crook of Emilia's neck.

Emilia ran her hand through the little girl's hair as she walked around the room slowly and soon enough Genevieve was fast asleep.

"Is she asleep?"She asked Marcello who abruptly nodded."I'm going to put them to sleep in my room."

She ushered for Marcello to follow her with the other girl who was now also fast asleep on Marcello's shoulder.

She walked a while before she stopped at her room door and entered.

Marcello walked up to the bed,  undid the white duvet from its creaseless state, placed Gabriella on the bed, and then tucked her in.

Emilia walked to the other side of the bed and did the same before they both walked out of the room and began making their way towards their room.

The light of the living room being on halted their progress.

Didn't they leave Gabriel outside their bedroom door?

They both shared a confused look before walking towards the living room.

There they found Gabriel sprawled on the couch, eyes closed, with his finger massaging his temples.

They both took a seat on the couch opposite of him.

When he finally opened them a groan escaped his lips."How did you guys do that and so fast too? I have been trying for hours on end and they wouldn't shut up."

Emilia smiled."We have been reading a lot of parenthood books. If you would like I can give you the ones we have finished with."

Gabriels's eyes lit up."Yes, please. When are they due?"He asked pointing to her baby bump.

This time Emilias eyes lit up."The boys are due November 30th."

Gabriel rubbed his hands together before pointing to Marcello."That's a couple of days before Marcello's birthday."

Emilia slapped Marcello on the chest and Marcello winced in pain."You never told me the twins are due a couple of days before your birthday."

"I didn't deem it necessary," He replied curtly whilst rolling his eyes.

 Emilia shook her head."And why not old man?"

Marcello groaned in frustration."That's why."

Emilia chuckled placing a kiss on his cheek before getting up to leave to Marcello's room because she was deathly tired.

 Marcello turned to Gabriel."So what's the deal Gabe did you kidnap your children or something?"

Gabriel scowled at his brother."No, I didn't kidnap my children. Maria had to fly to New Zealand to attend her aunt's funeral and she could only find one plane ticket."

"How did they survive more importantly how did it get past Xavier?"Marcello asked, his tone held fear within it.

Marcello has been wanting to ask this question ever since Maria returned but he never once got the opportunity to.
