chapter 3

Amelia and Francesco were very excited to meet their family with their Bella. They wanted to see everyone's reaction who didn't know about the baby being a girl.

Inside the Mansion

Everyone was gathered in the living room and waiting for Amelia and Francesco with the baby.

They all were very excited especially Elias and Marcello as they will get another younger brother to boss around. There was another reason for Marcello to be happy because he hated being young, now there will be someone who will be younger than him. He wanted to spoil and turn his baby brother into a brat.

They have decorated the living room to welcome the baby.

(Decorations to welcome baby)

They were getting impatient now and were asking questions to their grandparents and uncles, who were giving them the same answer,"soon."

As if on cue,they hear the voice of the vehicle outside the Mansion.

The bell rang and one of their maids opened the door and Amelia and Francesco went inside their house.

Seeing them everyone started meeting them and hugging only Amelia, as she was more important than Francesco and also because Francesco had a baby in his arms.

Francesco and Amelia were happy to see their family and decorations they have done for the baby.

Luciano in the corner was recording everything in his phone to keep it memory and also to blackmail/tease them according to their reaction.

Alicia came in front of Francesco to have a look at the baby, who was in Francesco arms sleeping peacefully,"oh he is so cute. He looks just like Alessandro, when he was little."

To which Francesco scoffed in jealousy and Amelia laughed at this.

Others were confused as Francesco was acting out of his character. They were wondering why he was acting like this as he has never acted like this before but the possibility of a baby being the girl never came into their mind.

Elders(males) were controlling their laugh but they also wanted to have Bella in their arms but waiting for Francesco to tell everyone about the baby being a girl.

When Alicia said 'he', Francesco knew that his father, father-in-law, brother and brother-in-law haven't told them about Bella. So with a smirk on his face. He first cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention who were meeting Amelia and gushing over Bella.

He started speaking,"Everyone meet your granddaughter/niece/babysister

'Isabella Rose Ivy Valencia-Moretti'."

After listening to this everyone was shocked until they heard Lucian laughing, this made everyone come out of their dazed state.

Everyone who didn't know about Bella glared at him and looked at Adonis, Arturo and Roberto who have smirk on their faces and were not shocked.

They immediately get to know that they all already knew about the baby being girl, still didn't tell them when they were planning things for the baby.

They all asked, no shouted one question, "why didn't you tell us?"

Adonis replied the same what Francesco did,"did you ask us? No nah. You assumed it yourself the baby being a boy and if we had told you. You all would have wanted to go to Venice. The baby was in NICU and she needs recovery. You all would have wanted to meet the baby immediately, which wasn't allowed. So we thought you can meet baby in person."

"And we haven't get to see your reactions if we had told you." Lucian with a laugh which was immediately shut when he saw her wife glaring at him.

"We understand, you wanted my granddaughter to recover fully so you didn't tell us but don't hide in future.  But you Arturo is sleeping on the couch today for not telling me." Said Alicia sternly.

"You too Luciano." Said Aurora.

Arturo and Luciano wanted to protest but can't in front of their grandsons/nephews, they have reputations to maintain but thought to persuade their wives in their room.

Adonis and Roberto sighed in relief as they don't have any wife to threaten them because they don't want a back pain in early in the morning.

When they were arguing, mean talking, Francesco and Amelia were settled on the sofa and were busy spending time with Bella.

When they were done talking, Francesco said,"don't you want to meet you granddaughter/niece/babysister

'Isabella Rose Ivy Valencia-Moretti'.

He repeated her name because he knew after knowing about the baby being the girl, their minds have not registered her name.

Roberto has tears in his eyes as Rose was his late wife name he looked at his son(Francesco) who gave him a reassuring smile, like he knows what is going in his father's mind. Being the eldest child he was close to his mother, when she was killed by some rivals he was also very devastated. Roberto was so happy because Isabella was the first girl born in their family after many generations.

He went close to them where they were sitting and have a look at her grandbaby who was looking so adorable. He kissed her forehead and stood aside to give others the opportunity to see her.

Arturo and Alicia both have tears in their eyes as their princess is herself now a mother of a princess and Francesco and Amelia has given Alicia's middle name (which is Ivy) to Isabella.

Although Arturo has seen her but still, seeing her so close, not from the glass window or pictures is different.

They kissed her forehead and caressed her face gently not to wake her up.

Roberto, Arturo and Alicia didn't try to hold her as she was sleeping and didn't want to wake her up.

Everyone in the family was so happy and waiting for their turn to meet one by one.

Adonis and Lucian were literally fighting as who will hold her first , imagine the Don of Russian Mafia and second in command of most dangerous mafia i.e., Italian Mafia, who are known to be ruthless and deadly, fighting over who will get to hold their niece first.

If someone from outside saw this, they surely will faint after witnessing such scene.

While listening to loud voices Isabella started whimpering, her uncle Adonis rushed to pick her up.

Francesco warned him not to pick her up because Isabella starts crying if the person is not Francesco or Amelia.

But he didn't listen to him and pick her up, just as he pick her up she started crying loudly because she sensed it that the person is not one of her parents.

Francesco gave him the I told you look.

Luciano picked her from Adonis and said,"she will stop crying after coming to her favorite uncle." To Adonis just scoffed at him.

When Luciano started rocking Isabella back and forth,she stopped crying for some seconds. Luciano gave the arrogant look to Adonis and as if sensing his intention Isabella started crying more loudly than before. Adonis just laughed at him.

Now all her brothers were arguing who will hold her. While others were arguing, Allessandro reached to his uncle and picked Isabella from him.

Allessandro always wants a baby sister to cuddle and spoil with love and care but every time he gets a bratty and annoying brother. Now he was very happy to have Isabella after so many years.

Allessandro started rocking her back and froth, sensing the same protectiveness and warmth which she felt with her father she stopped crying and opened her eyes. She met with the same pair of her eyes and stared at him with curiosity.

He just caressed her face lovingly and she leaned into his fingers.

Everyone was looking at them with love and adoration in their eyes.

All her brothers were gathered around her. Marcello exclaimed that,"she has eyes just like Sandro."

No one in their family has eyes with heterochromia, only Allessandro has it. Her brothers were jealous of Allessandro because he got the same eyes as their baby sister except Allessandro who was over the moon.

Allessandro was still rocking Isabella and in no time she was out like a light. He slowly caress his cheeks and said "My Bella" .

He held her close to his heart and kissed her forehead.

With Bella in Alessandro's, every brother came forward one by one and kissed her forehead or cheeks or caressed her cheeks lovingly.

Elders were looking at their family with a smile.

Then Elijah and Julian together quietly as they don't want to wake Bella up,"let's take pictures everyone and cut a cake to welcome our baby."

They cut the cake first with Bella in Amelia's arms now. Everyone came one by one or pairs to click a picture with Bella and lastly they clicked a picture in which everyone was present which they took by putting a timer on the camera. They decided to frame it and put it in living room.

I hope you all like this chapter.
