I was hugging everyone bye cause it was finally time for us to return home. I was sad but I missed everyone back home. "You give the word and I'll have Boss fly you out at any point." Leo tells me "I will. And you three are coming to visit next month right?" I ask making sure "We will be there an entire week. Only time they could take off" He tells me "I can work with that." I say with a smile I step up and hug Massimo and he squeezes me tightly and kisses the top of my head. "Call an old man once in a while" He grumbles into my hair "I will." I tell him softly "Bye papa" Alex says sadly "Goodbye Peep. You will see me again before you know it. Be good for Aunt Lexi and next time I come in time we will go on an adventure" He tells her She squeals and hugs him and he laughs and squeezes her tightly. He places her back down and stands and hugs Lexi. "Call if you two need anything" He tells her "I will. And thank you for everything" She says He kisses her forehead and she walks on to the plane with Alex. I follow and when I get to the top of the steps I turn and look at them all. Leo waves and I smile and step on leaving them behind. By time we touched down back home I was barely holding my eyes open. The car Massimo hired drove us home and the boys greeted us out front. Liam got to me first and scooped me up hugging me tightly. I pull back and look around to see frowns. "What's wrong?" I ask "We are starving" Snake says "I'm going to start cooking again tomorrow." I tell them "Go get some sleep baby" Liam tells me Wolf and Poison take my bags and we head for my house. When I walk in I sigh. I head to my room and strip and walk into the shower. By time I come out the boys were curled up in my bed and I slide in between them both and lay my head on Wolf's chest and sigh. Poison's arm wraps around my stomach we watch tv. "Did you have a good time?" Wolf asks "I did. I needed it. Leo is coming in a few weeks for visit with his two boyfriends" I tell them "That's good firefly." He says "remind me tomorrow I brought back presents" I mumble "Ok baby. Go to sleep" Poison tells me "Do I have to call your by your road names like everyone else?" I ask softly "What?" Wolf asks looking down at me "I mean I kinda figured I had to" I whisper "No firefly. You can call us whatever you like. Your not like everyone else. Your ours. It's different" He tells me I hum and snuggle in closer and he kisses the top of my head. I dose off minutes later and when I wake the next morning they were both knocked out so I wiggled out of bed and went down to cook breakfast for us. I turned on my music and started singing along. Arms wrap around my waist and I spin around kissing Bray. "Morning Demon" I say to him "Morning Phoenix" He says smiling down at me "Morning Firefly" Chase says "Morning Satan" I say standing up on my tiptoes He leans down kissing me and chuckles. I turn and plate up breakfast and we sit down to eat just as Liam walks in. "Morning baby" Liam says kissing the top of my head I smile at him and he sits down digging in. The boys are looking at me and I frown and start to worry. "Woah what's with the frown?" Liam asks "Um" I say looking down "hey now no need to do that. Just says what your thinking" Chase tells me "Does it both you that Liam and I are kinda attached at the hip?" I ask with a wince "What? Of course not. Lise your bonded with him. It's ok. We understand. Liam understand when we want alone time like last night. It's why he's here this morning. We texted him for you." bray tells me "Okay" I whisper "Eat up. Snake has a surprise for you" Liam says I dig in and Liam does the dishes when we are finished. I stand and stretch and go get ready and when I come back down we head for the clubhouse. Bray spins and dips down and I jump on his back and he carries me in. I was giggling and everyone gets quiet and when I look up my jaw drops. I jump down and squeal and run in the kitchen. I look over everything and I grin and spin and run back out and run over jumping on Snake hugging him and he chuckles. He sits me back on my feet and chuckles. "Thank you" I say "I figured a few updates would help you out" He tells me "Lasagna?" I ask "God yes" He says groaning I grin and Natalie squeals and tackles me in a hug. "Welcome home babe" She says "Thank you. I missed you. I'm so sad you weren't able to go" I say pouting "There is always next time. We can plan it out." She says "Next time just us. You will love it. Dad isn't going to let me stay in a hotel so the mansion will have to work but totally worth it. We can prank the boys. I pulled so many. Geo is still mad I turned him into a smurf" I say grinning She laughs and Bear walks over kissing my head. "Welcome home little dove" He says "I missed you guys." I say "We missed you and your cooking" Knuckles says "Oh hey Nina gave me a amazing recipe for a new cake. I'm going to make it tonight for dessert" I tell them "We have to run but we will back in time for dinner" Wolf says "I just got home" I say pouting "two hours tops I promise" He tells me "Fine" I grumble He chuckles and kisses my forehead. "catch up with the girls Phoenix" Bray tells "Ok." I say "Bye baby" Wolf says with the guys following him out They girls run over and I run over and grab the bags Wolf carried for me. They sit down and I pull out gifts for all the ladies. "Oh my god Lise. This is amazing" Natalie says holding up a dress I brought her back "I seen it and instantly knew it would look amazing on you. It's one of a kind. Special occasions only Nat please. I will murder anyone for ruining that dress" I say with a shudder "Lise how much did this dress cost?" Nat asks me in slight shock "Ten even" I tell her Her jaw drops and I smile. "Dad gave me his card. You don't want to know how much I spent. He spoils me when I'm there. I spent maybe two million and he didn't bat an eye. oh and girls I love you and please dont be upset but Nat got something extra" I says softly "Lise we don't care. You didn't have to do this. We are very grateful." Ruby says I pull out a velvet box and slide it over to her. She opens it and she tears up. "Oh my. Lise this is to much" She says "I called Bear. He helped me. You helped me when you didn't have to. I know it's your birthstone. Diamonds are a girls best friend. They have insurance. Can be replaced." I tell her "Will you help me?" She asks I nod and stand and take the necklace and she lifts her hair and I add the necklace. I step around her and smile. "Perfect" I tell her She slides on the bracelet and Bear walks in. I jump up and run over to him and hand him a smaller box and nod. He grins and scoops me up and spins me around and then sits me back on my feet. "Your good to go" I whisper He walks over to Nat and pulls her up and kneels in front of her and opens the box and she gasps and looks at me and I grin. "When we got married I promised to upgrade your cheap ring for one you deserve. Lise was in Italy so I called in a favor on one I found. So will you do me the honor and marry me with all our friends and family?" He asks her "You don't want the big wedding" She sniffles "And you do. Just tell me what to wear and where to show up and I'll be there front and center" He tells her "Yes" She says grinning He removes her old ring and adds the new one and I smile. He stands and scoops her up kissing her and I grin. He sits her down and she spins and comes over hugging me tightly. "Thank you. Now you have to help me plan this wedding" She tells me "No problem. say Bear since your already married think you can hold off a few months at least?" I ask "Of course" He says shrugging "Good. I'm three months we are going to Italy to find your dream dress. Nothing beats Italian wedding dresses." I say grinning "You mean?" Natalie asks with wide eyes "I'll have dad call in a favor and we will go meet your favorite designer and have your dress bought or made. You choose and i'll make sure it's done" I tell her "Lise you can't just ask the Italian Mafia Don for stupid favors." She screeches I pull out my phone and call dad while rolling my eyes. "Bella?" He says with worry in his tone. "I'm fine. Daddy, Nat is getting married. Antonia Riva is her favorite designer. We want to come in about three months for another visit and find her dream dress and for her to meet him. Can you make it happen?" I ask "Of course. Natalie not to worry. I will handle it." He tells her "Sir you don't have to" She says softly "sweetheart your family. Your important to my girl. Which means your important to me. Want a destination wedding? Italy is beautiful. Can even look at venues when your here. I'll tag along so that man of yours won't worry so much" He offers She looks at Bear with hope. "Tell me where little bear and I'll be there as promised" He tells her "Are you sure?" She asks dad "Of course. I'll see you girls in three months. Don't you worry. Besides as you says i'm the scary mafia don. You will have it or heads will roll literally" He says with a dark chuckle "Thank you. I would totally kiss you if my husband wouldn't kill me" She squeals "I'll take a hug instead" He says chuckling "Thank you daddy. Tell my boys I miss them already" I say "I will Bella. Check in next week." He says "Love you" I say "Love you too sweetheart" He says and hangs up "Are you serious?" Nat asks nervously I make another call and Geo picks up. "Kitten?" He says panting "Of s**t. Your doing business. I'm sorry G" I say "Nonsense. What is it?" He asks "Get the jet here in three months time. I'm flying out with a friend again." I say "Done." He says "have fun and pop a finger for me" I tell him I hear a scream and I grin. "Done Kitten. Love you bye" He says and hangs up "your scared of everything and that excites you?" Bear asks "I love watching the boys work. I'm use to them coming in covered in blood. Ya'll are different. I still am getting use to this. My history has a lot to do with it. But I'm getting there" I tell him "So your serious" Nat says impatiently "Yes Nat. Three months we fly out. Two weeks in Italy getting spoiled by Italian men who will kill for us. I wonder what kind of damage we can do to Dad's card again" I say grinning "Italy has always been on my bucket list." She says smiling "We can travel more. We always have the jet any time we want it" I tell her "We don't have many bridal shops near here. Brides maids dresses are going to be a nightmare" She says groaning "Nonsense. We can go anywhere and look" I tell her "Your right" She says "So brides maids? How many you thinking?" I ask her "All of you girls." She says They girls squeal and I laugh as we hug her. "Colors?" I ask "Black and Red" She says "Oh sexy" I tell her "I've always loved the idea" She says "Then that's what we will do. Now you girls want to help me cook?" I ask "Um I actually don't know how" Lily the youngest of us says "Come on. I'll teach you" I tell her We walk into the kitchen and turn on our music and get busy. We are all singing along to Justin Bieber when the guys all walk back in. The song changes and I spin Nat out and back in and she giggles. Liam walks in and I grab him and make him dance with me. He dips me and lets go and I go over picking up my wine glass and finishing it off. Lily fills it again and I grab it and skip into the big room and the boys are sitting around talking when another club walks in. I don't stop my singing or my dancing. Nat joins me and we lose ourselves to the singing. When it finishes I drop down in Wolf's lap grinning. he chuckles and kisses my temple. "What has you in a good mood?" He asks "Nat is having her dream wedding. We are going to Italy in three months to look at dresses and venues for a destination wedding. And do not argue. Your all showing up" I say pointing fingers at them all "Retract the claws firefly. Of course we will" He tells me I sip my wine and Bray chuckles. A new song starts up and I start singing and everyone listens. When it ends someone clears a throat. "Wolf who is the little lady?" He asks I look over and he was huge. Way bigger than Bear. "this is Annalise. She's our ol' lady" he says "Nice to meet you little lady. And can I say your voice is amazing." He says "Thank you. It's a hobby but I love it. Are you all joining us for dinner?" I ask "We don't want to impose" He says "nonsense. I made plenty. But Snake gets the first plate. He asked for tonight's dinner." I tell them "If your sure" he says "So what am I calling you?" I ask "Reaper" He says I tense and look at Wolf in panic. "River baby. You can call him River" He says eyeing the huge me "Of course. Not a problem. Can I ask?" He asks "Um my uncle use to always tells me the reaper would kill me" I say wincing His eyes harden and he growls and I tense. "River is fine darling." He tells me "So what's for dessert baby?" Bray asks "I made a few different things. No fighting over the sweets" I tell them "We would never" Snake says "yes you would" I say glaring at him "it was one time" He groans "What did I say would happen if it happened again Mr. Shawn?" I ask him sternly "We wouldn't get anything for dessert for a whole month" He mumbles "And what are we not going to do?" I ask them all "Fight over dessert" They all say "good boys" I say leaning back into wolf's chest He chuckles and I look up at him. "your scarier then all of us combines Firefly" He says chuckling "I am not. I just won't have yall fighting over something I can make more of. You wanna fight them fight while protecting others who can't protect themselves." I grumble "And we will." Snake says I start humming to the song when my phone rings. I grin and answer it. "Hey L" I say "Hey babes. G said you were coming back in three months" He says "I am. But your still coming in two weeks right?" I ask in panic "yes my love we are. I promise. The boys already took those days off. I just wanted to make sure you made it home. I miss you already. Who do I snuggle with now?" He says with a whine "Your men." I say grinning "They are working." He grumbles "Aww poor baby. I promise movie night your first night here. And yes I'll make my homemade chicken casserole. We will snuggle up and have a Harry Potter marathon" I tell him "Deal. Now I have to go be mean. Love you babes" He says "Love you too. Be careful" I say "always" He says and hangs up "Was that Leo?" Bray asks "it was. He gets like this when I visit and then have to leave. Leo is very over protective. He calls me princess. No one else does but him. One of the others tried and Leo punched him in the mouth." I say with a shudder "They love you" Wolf says "And I them. I'm still waiting on Geo to find a lady but no luck yet. I haven't brought it up. His first love was murdered in front of him. Ten years and he hasn't touched another woman." I say "That's rough." Bray says "it is. Took him a long time to let me out of his sight when I visit. When I'm there man tracks me worse than dad does." I say smiling "But you let him" Wolf says "I do. I don't mind. It keeps the inner demon from coming out. I fell asleep in the library in my hiding spot. He couldn't find me and lost his mind. So now he tracks me every I move" I say "At least I know your protected when your there" Wolf says "Being the Mafia Don's daughter in law does that" I say River eyes widen and I smile. "Don Massimo is my father in law" I tell him "Holy f**k" He says "His son Austin is my high school sweetheart. I'm dating Wolf, Poison, and Aus. Liam is my other baby" I tell him "Damn right I am" Liam says handing me a new glass of wine I smile and look at him and he leans down kissing my forehead. He pulls back and I sip my wine. "Hey babe. Can you work a shift tomorrow night? We had a girl get sick and we are a girl down?" Lexi asks "Sure. I'm not getting naked though" I tell her "I know. I told Mariah. She doesn't care and she knows who your dating. What you make you keep since she is asking a favor" She says "Sure. I don't have outfits" I tell her "I have some stuff that's more modest" She says "Cool. What time?" I ask "Ten to midnight later if you want more hours" She says "Um who is gonna keep Alex?" I ask her "Momma is. Already asked." She tells me "Alright. Wanna come watch the show?" I ask the boys "f**k yeah" Bray says "You sure?" Wolf asks "Yeah. When I left my ex husband I did what I had to. I love dancing." I tell him "Then we will show support but if someone touches you i'm breaking his hand" Wolf says "I wouldn't care if you did" I say shrugging "Woah" Liam says "I'm trying" I say softly "And that's all that matters baby" Bray says
