  "Mama," Gracie said wiping my cheeks. "No cwy. Uncle Alec get me kitty."

"I see that sunshine," I said forcing a small smile for my daughter trying to ignore the stares.

"You kept her from me," Antonio said and I tell see at his words not moving from my spot infront of Alec. "Give her to me."

"No," I whispered turning around slowly.

"Olivia," Antonio said deadly calm. "Give me my daughter."

"No," I said loudly glaring at him. "She's my daughter not yours. You will never get her."

"She is my blood," Antonio yelled and I backed up.

"Enough," Amelia, Antonio's mother said. "This is not an conversation to have in front of the child. Antonio go shower you smell of alcohol. Alexander, you and Alec wake Sandro up. Alessa and Olivia come with me to the kitchen, while he boys do they're jobs."

"Yes ma'am," everyone said moving to do they're jobs and I hurried out of the room.

"Mama," Gracie said pulling on my shirt. "Who is doe people?"

"I'm Uncle Alec's mama," Amelia said when she walked into the kitchen. "What's your name baby girl?"

"I Gracie," Gracie giggled holding her bear out. "Dis kitty."

"That's a very pretty kitty," Amelia smiled before looking at me. "Can I hold her?"

Nodding my head I handed Gracie to her.

"You pwetty," Gracie said before turning to me. "Mama, pink Coco?"

"Yeah," I smiled walking over to the pantry get the stuff to make hot chocolate and pink hot chocolate. I kept and eye on Amelia and Gracie while I fixed the drinks.

"She's cute," Alessa said startling me. "Looks like you expect her eyes, those are Antonio's."

"Yeah," I mumbled. "Can you grab the glasses?"

"Yeah," she said. "I made the boys coffee."

Humming I poured two cups of dark hot chocolate ad two cups of pink hot chocolate grabbing the tray walking over to the dining room table and setting it down.

"Mama," Gracie giggled climbing out of Amelia's lap and running over to me. "Thirsty."

"Magic word?" I said.

"Pwetty please with unicorn sprinkled on top," Gracie said smiling.

"Good job sunshine," I smiled grabbing one of the pink hot chocolate and setting it infront of us.

"What's that?" Someone grumbled and I looked up to see the boys walking into the dining room.

"Uncle Alec," Gracie said smiling. "One like mine."

"Thank you sweetie," Alec said walking over to us and sitting down grabbing the other pink hot chocolate. "You okay?"

"Fine," I mumbled dropping my head when Antonio walked in.

*Antonio*

'I have a daughter,' was all I thought while I walked up the stairs to my room that I have here. I got out feeling more sober as I dried off and pulled clothes on.

I stopped in the doorway to the dining room watching everyone talk but I just looked at Gracie, noticing the resemblance to me.

"Antonio," father said bringing my attention away from my daughter.

"Mother, can you watch Gracie while I speak with Olivia?" I asked watching at Olivia tense up and lose some of her color.

"I've got her," Alec said grabbing Gracie and giving Olivia a look, she shook her head getting up and walking over to me. Growling I grabbed her arm and dragged her to dad's office closing the door behind us.

"Why?" I asked watching her. "Why did you keep my child from me?"

"She's not your child," Olivia said glaring at me. "She's mine."

"She's my blood," I growled stalking towards her.

"You're just a donor and I will not let you hurt her," Olivia yelled stopping me in my tracks.

"I would never hurt her or you," I said.

"Really," Olivia scoffed. "I told you that when I agreed to this marriage that I wanted to take things slowly, get to know each other first. I got drunk and you took advantage of me and kept pushing me, the only thing that you have ever done that am happy about was give me Gracie."

I watched as Olivia yelled at me crying and I realized that I had hurt her.

"Bambino(baby)," I said softly walking over to her. "I never wanted to hurt you."

"Well you did," she muttered shoving away from me. "I don't want you anywhere near me or my daughter."

"No," I said. "I will not leave you two alone. I want my family back."

*Olivia*

Groaning I stormed out of the office not in the mood for another fight with Antonio.

"Livy?" Alec said getting up when I walked into the doorway.

"I want to go home," I said staring at my feet.

"Alright," Alec said hurrying over to me. I smiled at Amelia before hurrying out of the house.
