The doctors informed the family that Damon was awake. Of course they were happy but none of them cared because at the moment all their focus was on Emilia. It wasn't until they mentioned Emilia being with him that they paid attention.

She was okay.

They didn't consider the hospital as it was quite a way away.

Alesandro told them that they would be right over.

When the family got to the hospital, they all sighed with relief when they saw Emilia asleep practically on top of Damon who had her securely wrapped in his arms.

"Damon" Dante said and happily walked in. Only to receive a glare from Damon "be quiet or you will wake her" he said quietly.

Dante nodded. "Are you okay" he whispered.

"He better be. Im fed up doing your work" Mason whispered.

Damon smiled "im okay" he whispered.

Matteo was smiling widely as he joined Dante on the sofa.

Alesandro looked on, he looked at Emilia trying to work out if she was hurt.

"I'm glad you're awake son" he finally said.

"I'm tired so Im going to try sleep but don't think we won't be talking about Emilia later"  Damon warned as he repositioned himself but kept hold of Emilia.

(Ok so I'm going to do a time skip. Basically the doctors kept Damon on observation and did tests for 3 days and now Damon is out. He hasn't had chance to talk to his father or catch up on his siblings lives as their are always doctors or he's asleep)

Damon was finally going home and the family was pleased about it. The younger siblings were able to take the week off school and so they were almost always with Damon. Well Emilia was, she was practically glued to him. If she wasn't cuddled up to him, she was holding his hand. The only time they were apart was when one of them went to the bathroom, other than that they were always together.

Unfortunately doctors wouldn't leave them long enough for an actual talk.

But today he would find out everything. Alesandro drove his two children home. Mason had work and Dante and Matteo were making sure his room was prepared. They even bought him a welcome home gift. A brand new set of knives.

Once home, Alesandro left his eldest and youngest as requested by them both.

"You need to take it easy, I don't need help" Emilia said as Damon wanted to help Emilia.

"Me? You were kidnapped Emilia god knows what they did. You need to take it easy too" Damon fussed.

"You were shot" Emilia countered.

"Fine. Actually now that it's just us I want to know what's been going on"  Damon asked seriously.

"Nothing" Emilia replied.

"Don't give me that bullshit Emilia, you looked like shit when I first saw you and your clothes still damp and our father or brothers not in sight" he told her.

"An argument, I ran away and went to the hospital. Nothing more"

"An argument about what?" Damon asked.

"It doesn't matter " Emilia said.

"Emilia. I want to know what you argued about. Now tell me, you won't be getting another chance"

"Ihaveaboyfriend" Emilia whispered quickly.

"You and Antonio finally confessed your feelings" Damon asked.

"No it's luca" she replied.

"I see. And I'm guessing no one is happy about it"

"They don't like him"

"That may be so but Emilia you can't just run off in the rain like that anything could have happened to you. It was very irresponsible " Damon scolded her. Her safety was important to her and he didn't want to think about the dangers of running away.

"It's not my fault dad said...." Emilia quickly stopped talking but the damage had been done.

"What did he say"

Emilia shook her head in response.

Damom sighed and got up from the sofa. "Where are you going" Emilia said going after him.
Even when he was hurt his strides were bigger than hers and he walked alot faster.

"Father" Damon called.

Alesandro came from the kitchen"is everything okay"

"No. Emilia let slip that you said something to her and I want to know what"

Alesandro sighed. He was still filled with guilt "I basically said it was her fault but I'm so so sorry Emilia. I promise to be a better father. I was angry, I didn't mean it"

Damon was furious "how dare you. She is just a kid, she didn't pull the trigger. Fucking blaming a kid for something she never did" he didn't say anything to bad as he didn't want to scare her. He turned and grabbed Emilia's hand "I don't want her around you"

"She's my daughter not yours I will do what I please" Alesandro said.

"She's my sister though and by the looks of things the only one who will actually protect her. Come on Emilia, we are going "

They didn't get far only too Damon's room.

Damon put 2 and 2 together. She had dreamed of him killing her and asked if he blamed her. Clearly what was said had made her have that nightmare and it pissed him off.

He would deal with it later though. He needed to calm down or he would end up killing the family.
How dare he say that to her.

For now he wanted to spend time with Emilia and maybe get more of an idea as to what was going on. He would find out everything and once he knew he would make them pay.

"Emilia I'm sorry if I scared you" Damon apologized when he looked at Emilia.

"It's not his fault, I should have moved" Emilia whispered.

"You shouldn't have been in that position. This is not your fault" he told her.

Emilia nodded. She didn't believe him though. Of course it was her fault.
She yawned and found herself laying on Damon's bed and pulling his duvet up around her.

Damon watched in amusement "why don't you just take my whole room whilst you're at it" he muttered.

"Really? Of course it needs redesigning" Emilia replied.

Damon had a look of disbelief. "Brat" he muttered with a smirk

"Stalker" Emilia replied grinning.

"Come lay with me stalker" Emilia added not wanting him to leave.

Damon was hesitant but eventually he laid down next to her.

"So tell me Emilia what has happened over the last 3 weeks, again I apologize for leaving you for such a long period of time" Damon said.

"Well it's been quiet without you, we didn't really socialise with each other or anyone until the funeral"

"Funeral?" Damon asked. He was still unaware Alice was dead.

"Alice" Emilia whispered as she cuddled up to Damon.

Damon didn't feel sad. The news that his mother was dead actually made him happy.
"How are you feeling about it" he asked, he remembered one of their last conversations that had happened was because Emilia just wanted her mother.

"I know I'm suppose to be sad and in a way I am but in a way I'm relieved she's gone" Emilia replied.

"Why didn't you socialise before the funeral"

"We all sort of kept to ourselves. I just witnessed you getting shot, I didn't want to talk or be around anyone" she said.

"You should never have had to witness that. I'm so so sorry Emilia"

"It's not your fault"

"What happened to get you all socialising with each other again"

"Mason. He has been working or in his room but he's been really nice. He makes sure we all eat but then he would go back to his room just like we all did after eating. Anyway I guess it was just that day we actually spoke and things got a little better"

"I'm glad you had mason" Damon said.

"Me too. Can you maybe check on him though. I know he would never tell me anything but he looks so stressed and tired" Emilia said.

Damon smiled "of course.  He's probably just overworked. I'm going to get back to work soon so he doesn't have to do my job" he told her.

"You need rest" she told him.

"Perhaps. Now tell me about father. You mentioned Masin cooking, why hasn't father been doing it"

"I think you should have this conversation with mason"

"I'm asking you though"

"Mason knows more. All I know is dad is never in and he blames me. He seemed a little drunk yesterday though" she replied.

"Very well I'll talk to mason" Damon said knowing he would get alot more information.

"Now tell me Emilia, why Luca? I'm pretty sure I heard you tell me about how you felt for Antonio"

"But you were in a coma" Emilia exclaimed.

"Yes well I heard bits and pieces not much" he told her.

"You wasn't meant to hear"

"Soooo Luca?"  Damon asked

Emilia pushed him away "go away" she said.

"It's my room. You're in my bed" he exclaimed.

"Go away Damon"

Damon smiled "very well. I'll come check on you later" he said getting up.

"Wait you're actually going. I wasn't being serious" she said.

"I'll be back. I just need to talk to mason and dad. You need sleep" he told her.

"Fine " she replied as she made herself comfy.

Damon was very hesitant to leave so much so that he stood waiting until she fell asleep. He carefully walked up to her and placed the teddy bear they had won next to her. "You were never to blame" he whispered before leaving the room.

He would talk to mason and then their dad.  He had to be quick about it though because he didn't like Emilia being alone.

Ok so this is random but i will be giving Damon a love interest. Not yet. But later in the book. How do you all want him to meet the girl?  I can't decide how I want her to come in the book.
She's going to be the type to challenge his every decision ect.

Anyway Damon is about to find out about Alesandros drinking. He wasn't as angry as he should be in this chapter but that's because Emilia was with him. He didn't want to scare her.
