chapter 12

(Bella is 2 years old now)

It was early morning, Alessandro was sleeping peacefully in his room when he heard soft footsteps outside his room which woke him up because being a Mafia Don he was a light sleeper,yes he now is a Mafia Don as it was decided earlier he would be crowned at the age of 21.

Suddenly he heard the opening of his door but didn't open his eyes because he knows who has entered his room. He didn't lock his room and left his door ajar so it can be opened easily and that person can enter his room. As the one who entered his room was none other than his stella(star). As Bella has the habit of coming to his room everyday in the morning whenever she wakes up from her sleep.

Like everyday she has entered his room to wake him up. She was trying to get on bed but it was a lil high for her. Allessandro slowly opened his eyes and was pretending to sleep whenever bella gaze fell on him. Bella was trying hard to get on bed but she fell on the floor with a soft thud but instead of crying she got up and again tried to hop on bed. Seeing this, Allessandro had a proud smile on his face, because even after falling she didn't cry and tried again to reach on bed. She was again going to fall but Allessandro reached her on time, picked her up and made her sit on his stomach. While he himself, laid comfortably against the headboard.

Seeing him already awake, Bella said to him,"I wake you, you no wake yourself."

(I wake you up, you don't wake up yourself).

To which Allessandro just chuckled and replied,"I'm so sorry princess. I'll not do it again."

Although he knows, he will be awake before she can wake him up but to make her happy he said this.

Bella then cupped her face with her soft and small hands and said,"Good molning Les."(Good morning aless) and kissed his both cheeks.

"Now get leady, mama shays it's my big day. Granma will make choco cookie and Killy choco cake fol ush."

(Now get ready, mama says it's my big day. Grandma will make chocolate cookies and Killy chocolate cake for us)

He kissed her forehead lovingly and wished her morning and said,"Happy Birthday my Stella" and started peppering her face with kisses.

To which Bella just giggled.

Allessandro said softly to her,"Baby, if someone wishes you happy birthday and gives you something you should say 'thank you". To which she just responded positively.

Later, Alessandro freshen up, made Bella and himself ready and they went in the dinning room to have breakfast with everyone. Only his parents and brothers except for Dom, who happened to be a bit late for breakfast were sitting there and their extended family will arrive in the evening.

When they reached the dinning, his both parents kissed Bella's forehead and wished her birthday. To which Bella shyly replied,"tank you" and looked towards Alessandro to know that she said it correctly or not.

To which he just gave Bella a proud look and smile and she also smiled in return.

Their parents smiled affectionately at them and replied together,"You're welcome princess."

Killian and Marcello also went to her, Killian gave her a bear hug and wished her happy birthday.

After all the greetings they sat on their respective chairs to have breakfast.

Alessandro made her sit on his high chair and went to sit on his place.

Bella saw Domenico who had just entered the dining room and said to him,"Good moaning".

Listening to this Marcello fell on the floor from his chair due to laughter. Killian just choked on air and her parents froze on their seat and Domenico with amusement and mischievous in his eyes replied, "Good moaning to you too."

Alessandro being the sane and matured person present there doesn't show any emotion and softly correctly Bella, "Stella its morning okk".

Which break everyone's trance and Marcella sits back on his chair after sobering up from his laughter.

Domenico went near Bella, picked her up and gave him a hug and sighs in content. He kissed her forehead lovingly and wished her,"Happy Birthday my lil darling."Bella thanked him.

They all had their breakfast together.After that, all the male clan went to the garden to arrange for the evening party for Bella's birthday.

Bella's family don't give huge parties on their birthdays, anniversaries or any family occasion. They intend to keep their personal lives private and spend their special moments only with their family. But if their children wanted to have a huge party or something they allow them to do so because in the end their happiness is, which matters to them the most.

It didn't mean that they don't throw parties at all. They organize occasional parties, professional events for their clients and employees of legal business and balls and parties for their Mafia business also.

Their kids also throw parties for their friends at their institute.

But in the end they all try to keep their personal lives private.

In evening:

All the females are getting ready upstairs while males are waiting downstairs for them.

After some time, they heard a throat clearing sound, grabbing their attention and saw Alicia descending the stairs. Everyone looked at her with adoration and a soft smile. Arturo went to her and kissed her cheek lovingly.

After Alicia, Aurora came down. She was looking very beautiful in her red dress. Lucian in a trance was staring at her. Suddenly Elias called him loudly, "DAD!!"

"

What?" He replied irritatedly and saw triplets and Marcello was giving him teasing smiles. But then he went to his wife and whispered in her ear how hot she is looking in this dress and he is having a hard time controlling himself.

To which she just blushed profusely and hid her face in his chest.

(Ezekiel, Elijah and Elias tuxedos)

After Aurora, they all looked towards stairs for the next to arrive which was Amelia. Then they heard clicking of heels which belongs to none other than Amelia. When Francesco looked at her. His breath got hitched seeing her looking so beautiful in her dress. Even after many years of marriage, she looked the same and has the same effect on him which she has in their early days of marriage. He was already planning in his mind how he gonna keep his wife awake whole night after the party.

After some moments they saw a tiny hand, Amelia hold that hand and Bella appeared from behind Amelia, looking so cute in her red dress. They all just awe at her cuteness.

When they reached downstairs, Francesco rushed to them. First he pecked Amelia on her lips then he kissed Bella's forehead.

Soon one by one all Bella's brothers, cousins except for the twins, uncles and grandfathers kissed her cheek or forehead.

After that Damon and Damien both rushed to her side, standing on each side and they both kissed her cheek at the same. They said together," looking pretty princess." To which Bella thanked them.

After wishing and complimenting each other, they went to garden for celebration. Bella squealed looking at the decorations.

(The decorations)

They spend the party with lot of teasing, playing with Bella and a lot more.

After sometime Killian went inside the house and came out with a delicious cake and placed it on the stand for Bella to cut it.

The cake was made by Killian and grandma, they both have spent the whole afternoon in making it with lot of efforts and love.

(The cake)

After cake cutting, when her parents feed bella first bite, Killian and grandma were looking at her expression to know whether she like it or not afterall it was made for her. So her opinion matters the most. Just as Bella tasted it, a huge grin broke on her face. She squealed and asked for more. Everyone else just chuckled at this.

They all gave her so many gifts that Bella's room was filled with them. Bella appreciated them and was happy to receive them but more than that she was happy with her all family members spending time together.

They spend the night dancing, clicking pictures together and teasing each other. When Bella fell asleep, everyone also went to sleep as they all were tired.
