"boys get down now, I have news" Alessandro called as he entered the house. His four sons made their way down, knowing not to ignore their fathers request. They were all shocked to see how happy he looked.

"What is it father" Mason asked. He was the second eldest and probably the most reasonable one.

"I had a call from social services earlier, they have the twins, and asked if we want to take them in" Alessandro told his four sons.

"When do they get here" Damon asked knowing their father would have agreed straight away.

"Well their flight is in a few hours, we will need rooms prepping, and all guns and weapons locked away. Absolutely no mafia talk will take place around them"

"Why not I don't get why we have to be sensative and shit like that" Dante said rolling his eyes.

"Do not question me" Alessandro said on a deadly tone.

"Yes sir" Dante quickly replied knowing never to defy his father with that tone.

"Damon you will make sure there are no weapons laying around, Mason, dante, matteo you will sort out the two guest rooms for them, they need tidying" Alessandro ordered.

"We have maids for that" Dante said not liking how he had been put on cleaning duty.

"Yes maids who have gone home, I will not be calling them back to do such a personal task. These are your sisters and you will all help prepare for them" Alessandro's eyes burnt with anger. He was pissed.

"Damon, with me"

Damon silently followed his father to his office.

"He's a defient little shit but he will do it" Damon said as he closed the office door.

"We are here to discuss the twins" Alessandro said. He trusted Damon the most and could rely on him unlike his other sons. Matteo was too young, Dante was irresponsible and Mason was too caring.

"I can't believe the twins are finally coming home" A small smile made its way onto Damon's face as he spoke. He missed them.

Damon and Mason were the only ones able to remember their sisters properly, Dante remembered bits and pieces and Matteo only heard stories but he missed them just as much.

"Yeah they are coming home, I want you to come to the airport tommorow and collect them with me"

"Yes father" Damon tried to remain emotionless however his grin gave it away, he was glad his father had chosen him.

"I wonder what they are like now" Damon voiced his thoughts.

"I don't know but I will put a stop to any unwanted behaviour" Alessandro replied.

He had been strict on the boys growing up, if he wasn't happy, he would tell them, there was always consequences for their actions so he had no intention on letting the twins do what they want.

"you might as well say your goodbyes now. Our brothers and father are going to love me but hate you, I bet you will get a beating for being a mute freak tonight. why don't you leave now, start a fresh life" Lexi mocked, she wanted all their attention, she knew as soon as they discovered how fucked up Emilia was they would choose Lexi and get rid of Emilia or at least shun her.

She would probably have to share the attention when first meeting them but after that, they would dote on her. Her words hurt Emilia but she still said nothing.

The girls stepped off the plane and went to baggage claim, Lexi had a suitcase but Emilia didn't, she had a small backpack. Lexi had also arranged with social services to get her stuff shipped over at some point.

After baggage claim, Lexi didn't want her stuff contaminated so she carried it herself which suprised Emilia

They finally entered the pick up zone, it was crowded and Emilia was overwhelmed, she kept tugging on her sleeves, she couldn't look up, Henry taught her the floor was the only thing she could look at, eye contact must only happen when given permission.

Her fear crippled when two men approached them. Alessandro and Damon had spotted them as they entered, they were the only two girls travelling who matched what Alessandro knew to be his daughters.

"Hi girls" Damon said first.

Alessandro mentally face palmed himself. He realized how weird they must seem.

"What my son means to say is, are you Emilia and Alexia" Alessandro asked.

"Yes but I prefer Lexi, may I ask who you are" Lexi replied, already playing her part.

"I am Alessandro, your father, this is Damon your eldest brother" Alessandro introduced.

Emilia heard this and her fear grew, she had enough with just Lexi but now she had more. It all became so real and so she ran.

Alessandro and Damon were shocked by it. "Emilia" Alessandro called.

"I'll go get her" Damon said.

"No it should be me" Alessandro replied.

Lexi didn't like that she wasn't in the spotlight.

"What about me, I don't know where I am you both can't leave me"

"We aren't going to leave you Princess but you need to wait here, we will be right back" Alessandro calmly spoke. Lexi enjoyed the attention, especially being called princess so she nodded in response. She smirked as they left thinking about how much trouble she was going to be in.

Alessandro and Damon left to bring her back, both men had a unfamiliar look of concern as they followed the direction she went.

They noticed it was the exit on the right and on the left a set of toilets.

They weren't about to leave the airport if she was still in it so they made their way over. "What do we do now, we can't just walk in" Damon asked.

Alessandro paid no attention to this and walked in, a sign wasn't going to stop him from finding his daughter.

Suprisingly there was no other people in them but they both heard a faint cry.

Both men hated it, especially Alessandro, he didn't want to ever hear Emilia cry.

"Emilia" Damon gently called, he suprised himself with how gentle he was.

"Can you please come out so we can talk" Alessandro added.

Emilia had wanted to run out but there was too many people outside so she had gone to the toilets.

She had started to panic when she realised they would come after her and probably beat her for running away.

When they came in she froze. They were here. She was in trouble and her whole body started shaking from fear.

She didn't want to defy them any further because the result would only be worse.

Emilia stepped out, Damon went to hug her but Alessandro pulled him back, knowing it would only freak her out.

"Can you look up for us" Alessandro calmly asked.

Emilia didn't dare defy him so she looked up. She looked at both men in fear, she couldn't help but think about how strong they looked, everything they did would hurt much more than Henry. They looked dangerous and powerful too.

"There. Now I can see your pretty eyes" Alessandro said with a smile.

"Why did you run off like that bambina" Damon asked.

Emilia just shifted, she couldn't talk. It was a trap, they wanted to see if she would talk so they could hurt her more.

Usually Alessandro and Damon would have shot the person who dared not answer them, but this was Emilia and instead of anger both men shared a concerned look.

"Will you talk, amore" Alessandro asked.

Emilia shook her head and closed her eyes, waiting for the blow. When it didn't come, she dared to open them.

Alessandro and Damon spoke to each other in Italian voicing there concerns.

"Ok, how do you communicate" Alessandro asked.

Emilia was confused, she wasn't allowed to communicate.

"Okay, we will figure out a way for you to communicate" Alessandro said realizing she wasn't going to talk.

Just at that moment, a woman walked in. Alessandro's expression turned deadly as he faced her "out" his cold tone had the woman running out.

Unfortunately it has Emilia shaking again. "Oh amore, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" Alessandro said when he realized how frightened Emilia was.

Damon decided to risk it and quickly approached Emilia who backed away, her eyes were back on the floor. She had nowhere else to go as her back hit the wall.

"You do not need to fear us" Damon again suprised himself how gentle he was being, he lifted her face up with a finger under her chin.

"Come on let's get you home" Damon whispered, he held out his hand for Emilia to take.

Emilia didn't know what to do, she didn't want to anger him so she took his hand.

She noticed both men smiled at this but after they headed out. Emilia focused on the floor as they walked out. She feared Damon was leading her to her punishment for running away. Alessandro walked in front with Damon and Emelia following behind.

"I know you are probably scared of us right now but we would never hurt you" Damon told her.

They finally got back to where they had left Lexi, Emelia couldn't help but let go of Damon as her sister looked at them and how they were holding hands. Emilia knew Lexi wouldn't like it so she let go.

Damon looked down at her, a little hurt that his sister was no longer holding his hand. He didn't say anything though.

"Right now that we are all here, we can leave. Do you girls want anything to eat or drink before we leave" Alessandro asked, fully aware of how long they had spent on the plane and how plane food wasn't nice.

"Could I please have a drink" Lexi asked putting on a baby voice.

Damon cringed at her voice but Alessandro didn't notice he was just happy to have his daughters back.

"What about you Emilia, would you like anything" Alessandro asked.

It confused Emilia, they were actually letting her eat or drink. It must be a trick.

Emilia shook her head.

"Ok, Damon you stay with Emilia, I'll go with Alexia" Alessandro said.

It annoyed Lexi, they had both left her to find Emilia, but they both wouldn't leave Emilia to get a drink with her.

"But I want Damon to come too" Lexi whined in her baby voice which always worked.

"I rather not, I'll come with you another time though" Damon replied. The truth was he was already done with her especially with her sickly sweet baby voice, it was just cringey.

He couldn't help but look down as Emilia who although looking at the floor, he saw she had a suprised expression on her face. Clearly Lexi wasn't used to being told no.

When Alessandro left with Lexi, Damon brought her to a bench. "Is she always like that" he asked.

Emelia hesitated but nodded. She couldn't lie to him, the pain would be so much worse.

"Look up bambina" Damon said noticing her habit for not looking at them.

He didn't think much of it though, everyone feared them, no one dared look at them.

Emilia looked up but she couldn't meet eye contact with him. "She gets her way alot I suppose" Damon commented.

Again hesitantly Emilia nodded.

"I see" Damon said, knowing that behaviour wouldn't be accepted when they got home. They would need to give the twins a talk and tell them the rules but they all wanted to see how the twins were first with no rules.

Time skip

It wasn't long before they all were in the car, Lexi and Emilia were in the back, Lexi kept sutly glaring at Emilia, she didn't think Emilia deserved the attention she was giving. She didn't voice any of her thoughts just yet, she would though when they start to hate her. She should be made to walk, she didn't deserve the comfort of a car.

For Emilia, all she felt was fear and confusion but as time passed she started to feel sleepy, she tried to fight it as she hadn't been given permission to sleep and sleeping would make her vunerable. Damon noticed this so he speaks up. He didn't have to say many words, just by his tone, you couldn't help but obey his words. "sleep Emilia" that's all it took for Emilia to loose the fight and fall asleep.
