So far it had been about a week since Giorno and his team had came back. His health had increased significantly over the past few days. His skin had returned to its Italian kissed tone had his hair had its golden luster back even golden experience requiem seemed to be looking better! Of course Giorno and his father still bickered over the smallest of things and his friends often asked for more embarrassing stories while 'secretly' searching for the photo album you put away knowing Mista and Narancia would be looking for it.

Bucciarati was a great help in the kitchen! Before they came it was just You and the other servants,well they were more like guards, often ate separately. Meaning you'd Make dinner and everyone would come snatch a plate or a bowl,mutter a thanks and head back to their rooms or...where ever they went during their free time. The only ones who would actually stay was N'doul and sometimes Hol Horse. The young man would steal an apron and get to chopping or skinning fish like it was most natural thing in the world! You two chatted away like long,lost friend no wonder Giorno liked him so much!

Abbachio was the most quiet of the bunch often seen reading a book in the library or listening to his music in the living room. He and Dio were usually seen entering and exiting the celler,you werent sure what they were talking about but knowing Dios mischievous nature it was probably nothing good.

Trish was usually found either swimming in the pool or looking at make up tutorials on t.v. She would occasionally drag you into her room and demand that you let her try out a new blush or eye shadow. You were no expert in make up but judging by the extra long stares of Mista,Narancia and even Dio she must have been doing something right.

"It must be difficult being the only girl"

"Like you wouldn't believe! It always smells like hormones and testosterone! I'm glad your here," she sighed as you did her nails,"I tried to get Fugo to paint my nail and he kept throwing a fit everytime he messed up,I ended up having to scrub paint off the wall!"

"Yes,I can tell he has a short fuse"

"Like its just nail polish,god Fugo really needs to chill out, maybe get laid or something"

"Im sure he's just always worried about you guys"

"Yeah I guess" she started to fan her nails with a crumpled sheet of white copy paper.

"I think he loves you all alot,maybe thats why he-"

Ding dong!

"Oh! Excuse me,Trish," you got up and left to go open the door, there was another Ding dong,"Coming!"

Opening the door you were greeted by the timid sight of Dios dark pinkish headed son,Rikiel!

"My little cow!" You squealed,enveloping the tall stand user,"ohhh look at you! All grown up! Here let me get your bags!"

"Its fine,mama,Iv got it" he smiled,taking his small bags into the hall way.

"Rikiel" that dark presence made itself known. Emerging from the shadows of the manor Dio looked down at his tallest son,a smirk teased his lips,"so then,you've chosen a rather difficult path,even more so than my own"

"And I will follow it through,nothing is going to stop me!" He said with great determination,his confidence had slowly risen over the past few years and gave birth to the confidant young man standing before you today! He still got sick easily though so you often checked up on him.

"Good,welcome home,oh and your brother is here,do say hello," Dio turned back into the shadows of his house leaving the two of you alone.

"How does he do that?" Rikiel muttered as you both entered the living room," and which brother does he mean?" He knew for certain it wasnt ungalo.

"Take a guess! Giogio finally came for a visit after all these years! He's even brought some friends over!" You pushed open his old room while he placed his bag onto the ground.

"Did he now?"

"Oh don't worry! They're all good people! Now come! I cant wait to see Giornos face when he sees you! Oh! Wait let me go get the camera!" Rushing to your room you picked up the massive Polaroid camera and rushed back to him. Rikiel had already taken off his boots and slipped on his house shoes,"ok now let's go!"

Dragging your other adopted son outside near the pool where the Don of the italian mafia was currently pulling weeds out of the ground and plowing the earth like a little farmer boy while his team,minus Abbachio,were all in the pool. You called out to the blond,"GioGio! Look who's here!"

"Yes mad- Rikiel!" Dropping his hoe Giorno rushed over and practically tackled his older brother in a hug,"Its so good to see you!" Rikiel had always been his favorite brother!

"My god you've gotten tall!" Rikiel smiled,wrapping his arm around the youngest,"you look just like dad! Its almost scary!"

You just wanted to squeeze something! They were so cute! Looking down at your camera it had already spat the image out,now all you had to do was wait for the image to come through. Turning around you bumped into a very firm chest,"ah! Apologies Master!" He didnt say anything only looking at his sons with what could only be described as happiness and love. The sight made your heart beat a little faster,as cold as Dio could be he also had a sweet side.

"I'll go get album then!" Stepping back into the cool house you opened up the entertainment center where all the movies were put,on the second shelf is where album was hidden with a fake spine to make it look like it was some autobiography of some old lawyer.

Sitting on your knees you stuck the picture in a small section that Dio had loveingly named, 'My offsprings' you still laughed at it to this day! Glancing Outside the sky was turning gray,another shower of rain was due. You took this as your cue to go grab towels for everyone.

"Miss.___,do have a-ah,thank you" you handed out towels to the salt water covered gangsters. Bruno thanked you as he dried off his hair.

"No problem,here you go Mista,Narancia"

"Thanks"

"Yeah thanks"

"Fugo?" You held out a rather pinkish towl for him.

"Thank you"

"Mmhmm, if you want to shower you'll see that there is some generic shampoo and conditioner under the cabinets in the bathrooms" you closed the door behind everyone letting them wander off to their own rooms. You stayed outside to go wake Abbachio up,he was using Brunos jacket/suit? As an eye mask while sun bathing.

"Mr.Abbachio,everyone's gone inside,you'll get a soaked if you stay out too long" you called out.

"Mmhm," he yawned,covering his mouth and sat up.He walking back to the house most likely to finish his nap.

You made your way back to the brando family,standing next to Dio as he read some papers,gold eyes occasionally flicking from them to his sons. It reminded you of when they were younger.

"Can giogio come swim with us?" A young 8 year old Rikiel asked,Dio was currently teaching Donatello how to swim while you held a small cooing Giorno in your arms.

"Not yet,Riri,he's not old enough to swim yet," you were sitting on the steps,toddler Giorno babbling something in baby language and smiling a gappy tooth smile.

"When will he be old enough?" His hair had fallen out of its ponytail.

"Not for a while but don't worry,You can play with him inside" you held Giornos hand as his tiny feet floated in the water,"oh! Giorno? Do you wanna dance? Go Giorno! Go go go! Go Giorno! Yeahhh!" The small blond 'danced' by bouncing up and down with you and Rikiel hyping him out.

"He really likes to dance,"

"Rikiel,come here" Dio called from the opposite side of the pool,Donatello had a bit of a nasty glare pointed at Giorno,not that you could tell,"I want you to race your brother then you'll be done for the day"

"Race? But I already know Donatello is going to win"

"And how do you know that?"

"I um"

"Exsactly,you dont know,nothing is for certain and anything can happen,if you do lose all you have to do is train,your mother and I will always be here to teach you,do you understand?"

"Yes sir!" Rikiel took his spot next to his blond brother.

"Ready? Set? Go!" Both boys took off

"Come on boys! You can do it!" You cheered,clapping your hands. Giorno mimicked you,laughing at who knows what.

"First!"

"First!" They yelled at the same time.

"I won!" Donatello yelled

"Ill decided that," Dio said stepping out of the pool," you both tied and since there's no winner" he took several steps twords the house with back turned to them,"You'll all suffer the losers punishment!!!" Taking a running start Dio cannonballed into the pool,sending his two kids screaming in terror as their giant mountain of a father eclipsed the sun and making a mini wave that sent both of them half way across the pool. The massive splash had gotten you and baby giorno too,not that the small baby cared.

"Dad! You almost landed on us!!" Donatello yelled,next to him Rikiel came up for air,"dad?"

The lawer hadn't come up yet but from here you could see him swim twords his kids,grab them each by the ankle and playfully pull them under.

They squealed and scream as he lazily swam after them.

"Mom! Help!" Rikiel yelled,laughing as Donatello used one of the floating water guns to shoot at their father. Which failed due to the small floaty he used as a shield.

"Well well well! Look at what I found! Two bite sized morsels! Good I was getting Hungry!! Rawrrr!" He reached out and scooped up one kid in each arm.

"Noooo!"

"Mmmm how shall I eat you two? I think the blond would go well covered in bread crumbs and baked in my oven while the pink one will go well with my cake and wine! Nom nom nom nom!" He playfully chomped on his kids tiny arms and legs

"My arm!! Noooooo!"

You laughed and checked the time,it was almost lunch and Giorno was starting to get a bit fussy,"Ok Water demon take this! My ultimate attack!" You held out Giorno," hungry little sunflower attack!"

Climbing out of the pool with a son in each arm,Dio placed them on their feet while you handed the baby to him. Giorno cooed and held out his arms for his father to take him.

"Last one to the house smells like Giornos diaper!"

"No fair! You got a head start!"

"Yes yes,I know your hungry your sucking on the wrong chest," Dio held Giorno up higher to his chest so he'd stop trying to nurse on his nipples. You couldn't help but laugh a bit,"oh? Is something funny?" He asked as you traded him a dry towel for Giorno.

"He is at that age,arent you giogio?" He responed by grabbing your nose. You planted several kisses on his chubby cheek.

Dio opened the door and walked under his massive arm until he stopped you with a black painted talon under your chin,trailing his sharp nails up and tilting you head upwards.

"You..." he trailed off,leaning down to kiss you-

"DAAAAD! I can't reach the plates!!"

Dio pulled away and guided you inside with a hand trailing lower to rest on your rear,he gave a small squeeze.

"Sir!"

"-Madre!"

You snapped to attention,"yes?!"

"You were staring off into space again" Rikiel finished his younger brothers sentence.

"I was thinking about how Master almost crushed you two in the pool that one time"

"Mmm yes,I think I remember that,Rikiel was so small back then" Dio mused.

"He was so cute! He and Giorno used to dance all the time too! Oh I wish I recorded it...actually I think I did!"

Rikiel sat up,blushing," please don't!"

"Too late!" You smiled and went inside to look for an old tape you knew you'd put in the entertainment center. The rest of the Brandos followed you inside.

Digging through VHS tapes,CDs and Polaroid photos you started separating them,behind you Giorno,Rikiel and Narancia were chatting about different bands and music. You werent sure where everyone else had gone off too but you could hear Trish yelling at Mista to put on some Deodorant and someone was in the kitchen,maybe Abbachio? no bruno!

Outside the rain had gotten heavy,turing the sky a dark gray with the sound of thunder rolling in.

Above you someone had turned on the t.v,Cake boss was playing,Rikiel probably chose the channel,he always did like sweets.

You were about half way through the pile when the doorbell rang. Getting up you power walked to the door,opening it up you can face to face with Dio's oldest son.

"DONNY!!" You screamed a bit too loud,Dio was up in a flash and was right behind you.

"How many times have I told you not to yell?" He relaxed once he realized it was just you getting a bit over excited.

"Hello mom," Donatello said dropping his case on the welcome mat,he was soaked but you still hugged him anyways. He was almosr as tall as his father!

"Oh! I missed you so much! You've been taking care of youself haven't you?" You heckled,"oh thats right your soaked! Go take a shower,I'll have something for you and Rikiel to eat once you get out,RIKIEL!" you yelled,ignoring Dios minor eye twich.

You passed Giorno in hall as you entered the kitchen,as you expected,Abbachio was sitting in a chair eating some crackers while taking to Bruno,the capo looked up from his friend.

"Im guess your other son has come home?"

You dug for the left overs container,"mmhm,he's been away at college for the past few months and could never find the time to visit but now he's here!" You smiled at him and placed some food into two bowls and placed them into the microwave. You dug for silverware when Dio came in and sat down at the head of the table.

"Abbachio,come on,I need you to help me with paper work"

"Fine" both passione members got up and left,leaving both you and the master alone.

"Would you care for a plate?" You asked,setting the pasta down onto the table.

"No,some wine and cheese will do," he said waiting for his offspring to sit at the table,he could hear all three of them leave Donatellos room.

"The normal kind or your kind?" You asked leaning over to look over the bottles,he wasnt kidding when he said he and Abbachio were drinking partners.

"Our kind," you poured his glass and was about to leave when he pulled you into his lap,"as much as I enjoy bloody wine,I prefer to drink from the source," his breath was cold against your ear.

"Now?" You rubbed your finger over the cool glass bottle,"if its what you want then..." placing the bottle between your thighs you pulled down the collar of your dress,"just a bite alright? I have to get started on dinner too"

"A bite is all I need," there was slight pinch of pain,like two needles going into your neck and feeling of blood being drained felt a bit odd too,it had been a while since you'd let him drink from you.

"Wait,can't you just drink from you hand? Or nails?" He pulled back a bit it lick the wound close,"why didn't you just do that?" You fixed your collar.

"Becuase aesthetics"

You laughed and stood up just in time for the terrible trio to round the corner.

"Holy shit that looks good," Donatello muttered,looking at the hot dish before,his dorm back at campus didn't really have a kitchen so this would be the first home cooked meal he'd have in a while! "Mom did I ever tell you how much I love your food?" He sat down,digging in almost immediately.

"Could you have waited till we sat down first?"

"Oh fall off your high and mighty horse, Don," he hissed back.

'They never really did get along very well' Dio thought,wondering who was going to snap first

"Hey,can we not do this? Let's eat and go bing watch cake boss later?" Rikiel mentioned,trying to defuse the situation.

"Fine"

"Fine"

They said,sitting far across from each other.

"Donny,what are you class like? You told me once a while ago but I cant exsactly remember" you asked,handing everyone a glass.

"I'v got world history with this one guy,god he's so annoying I can't tell you how many times I'v almost punched him"

"You told me about him,his name was Tananto right?" Rikiel asked,eating a fork full of spaghetti.

"Yes,the bastard keeps coming to class high off his rockers and that all he talks about! Thats it! I shit you not! I'm surprised he even comes to class!"

"How unfortunate" Giorno narrowed his eyes,he'd been working on cleaning up his city and getting ride of drugs being sold to children.

"You ever tried it? Giorno?" Donatello asked,"im sure the Italian mafia leader has had something to do with drugs once or twice"

The grip on his fork tightened,"I won't deny that iv seen my fair share of drugs but as the Don it is my personal duty to clean up these streets of my city and-"

"Ughh you know who you sound like? Uncle Jonathan,if you didn't have Dads hair I would seriously wonder if you were his kid"

Dio bit back a smile,he didn't know what it was but watching his kids fight was the funniest thing to him!

"I'll take that as a compliment,not everyone can be as cold hearted as you and Padre" Giorno bit back.

"Oh please,you've got the biggest barny kids personality I'v ever seen!"

"Bold words coming from a in dept,collage student with no skill or talent"

"At least I am at collage!"

"I bet you don't even have a major yet!"

Both blonds started arguing with Rikiel trying to break them up you looked at Dio for help but the man had his head tilted back and was silently laughing,fangs glinting under the kitchen light. You kicked his foot,he calmed down with a sharp breath,"Boys boys your both equal disappointments now shut up and eat your food"

"Dis-How am I a disappointment?!" Giorno snapped,clearly irrated.

"Because your all getting on my nerves, thats why and because I say so," he stood up to put his dishes away,"once your done-"

They had gone back to arguing

"Hey"

"Not to mention your jealously!"

"Who!? You think im jealous? Of you?"

"Sure,why not! At least I can use my stand when ever I want,once your out of Florida your completely useless!"

"Guys can we not?"

"Hey!" Dio hissed,none of his sons were listening to him. You snickered at the sight,Dio did enjoy chaos but only when he could control it,"Oh? Are you laughing at I? Dio? ___?" He turned his attention to you.

"No sir! I would never!" You would.

"I see how it is," bringing out his stand Dio stopped time,"Za worldo!" Everyone was frozen in time,Donatello had his finger in Giornos face while Giorno had raised his fork up threateningly. Picking the two up easily he placed them in the living room chairs he then went back to grab Rikiel and sat him on the couch. All that was left was you,reaching down he decided against it and let time resume.

"What the-DAD I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT!" Donatello yelled.

"Oh shut up and watch t.v!" He yelled back you couldn't help the snort that escaped you,"well im glad that I amuse you,___"

"Very much so sir," you stood to take care of the dishes. He stood right behind you, chin reading in the crook of your neck,you gave his head a small pat.

"Bold aren't we today?"

"No I wouldn't say that,you just aren't as scary as you think you are," you stuck your tongue out playfully then in the next moment you felt something was off,you were missing something very important.

"Whats wrong,__? Missing something?" He thumbed your hip where normally,he'd feel the waistline of your panties but they were currently occupying his pocket.

"Sir! Please give those back!" You hurried to dry your hands off.

"But they're so cute," he held them out in the open,where anyone could see! You little sheep themed underwear,"and they smell just like your cunt after I'v finished tongue fucking you"

"Sir!" You covered your face,completely mortified at how crude he was being! "Please give them back!"

"Fine, but I expect payment later on" you blinked and felt that your underwear was where it should be,"come along then" he guided you into the living room where all the VHS tapes and CDs were still lying around,one of them was currently playing an old birthday of Rikiel.

"I remember that" Dio sat next to his second oldest on the big couch,Donatello and Giorno were currently ignoring each other.

"Same,I think this is what got me into space too"

Sitting next to Dio you watched as a very young Rikiel was sitting on his father bicep,pointing excitedly at the massive planetary display in a nearby museum.

"You were so excited to be there you begged me to buy the place" Dio mused as a small Donatello held his fathers other hand,clearly jealous of all the attention his younger brother was getting but not making a fuss.

The disk moved on to another old memory of Donatello and Rikiel playing in a giant puddle with a half naked toddler Giorno running at them.

"Oh my god" Giorno covered his face with a pillow.

"Aww look at widdle giogio" Donatello mocked the next video was of Donatello crying over the fact that a bug landed in his mouth,"Mom! Did you seriously keep that!?"

"Sure did!" You smiled as the next footage rolled by.

It was a small collection of images and videos of you finding Dios kids asleep on him. There was one with a small Rikiel in an adorable cow print onesi curled up on his fathers bare chest,Dios hand on Rikiels back while the other was over his eyes.

"Ohhh yes now that I definitely remember,Rikiel was the biggest cry baby out of you lot always wanting to be held"

There was another image of all four of his sons asleep on him,Ungalo was rarely in them since the he'd usually be in the hospital,the woman who'd gave birth to him did not take care of him. Drinking,smoking and doing all sorts of drugs had deformed the poor child so the doctors placed the boy under surgery to reshape his face and to make sure nothing deadly would come up later on in life.

"Look at Rikiels head,you always did have a Canon ball shape head" Donatello teased.

"What about you? Mom told me she had to rub your head into shape cause it was so damn square! Minecraft head ass"

Dio busted out laughing,"he's right,you did have a lumpy head! Growing up!"

"No I didnt!"

The laughter and teasing died down as a new video started up. Dio was in his bathroom with a seven year old Giorno sitting on his counter top. Dio had several Bobby pins in his mouth and a curling iron in one hand,making three perfect golden doughnuts on his sons forhead,he then started braiding the back and tied it off with a small,clear rubber band.

"Ahhh yes who could forget? The holy trinity of the golden doughnuts!"

"I will turn your toe into minos,Donny"

You smiled,resting your head on Dios shoulder as another video started this one was filmed by Rikiel running back to the garden to record a sort video of both Donatello and Giorno with their heads stuck between the metal bars of the gate. N'doul and Ice where the only ones there as each bodyguard tried prying the bars open,not wanting to have to tear the gate apart.

"I can't believe you two managed to do that,I still dont understand how that was even physically possible,___,do you remember? ....___?" He looked down and saw that you'd fallen asleep on him,it made his usually cold heart just a bit warmer. Outside thunder and lightning shook the window pains. Sighing Dio stood up and scooped you up bridal style,"We're off to bed then,Giorno,Rikiel,Donatello, dont set the kitchen on fire other than that you have the house to yourselves"

"It was one time!"

"And keep it down!" He said,useing his stand to close the door,undoing your dress he placed you under his sheets. He stood to go grab a sleeve of crackers onto to stop when your finger curled around his own larger pinky.

"Stay?"

He huffed,he could never say no to you.
