"He was testing you Hun" Will explains.

"Testing me for what?" I questions as Grandpa lets go.

"I wanted to see if you would defend your family. Us Costello's defend each other no matter who or what we face" Grandpa explains.

"So you got me all mad and sh*t for a test Gramps" I say cracking a small smile.

"Language!" Vincent and two others scold.

I throw my hands up in defeat.

"Calm down" I say as my smile grows a bit.

"Aw look at her smile Sofia" One of my presumed Aunts say.

"I can't wait, I've always wanted a little niece. This is gonna be fun" Another says.

Hold on. Can't wait for what?

"Alright, why don't you all introduce yourselves to Valentina" Will says.

"I'll go first" A freakishly tall man says stepping forward.

"I'm your Uncle Luca and this is my wife Sofia and our sons. Damien, Damon, and Devon" Luca says pointing at Sofia and his sons.

"Hey" The three say at the same time.

"Are you guys triplets?" I ask.

"Yes" They all say at the same time again.

"Stop" I say with all seriousness.

They just laugh.

They definitely gave off Ace's vibe.

"My turn. Hey Val I'm your Uncle Roberto, probably your favourite Uncle" Roberto says with a smile showing off his dimples.

Cool, the Uncle I can go to, to ask permission to go places.

"I'm his wife Gloria and these are our sons" Gloria says.

"I'm Matteo" The one in the tight ass suit next to Vincent introduces.

"Leonardo" The other grumbles bitterly.

Great now I have to tame another Xander.

"AHAHAHAHA. I love her!" One shouts out laughing.

"Did I say that out loud?" I say.

"Yes" Xavier says laughing.

"Well I'm Axe, ignore the grump. His girl dumped him" Axe says pointing at Leonardo.

"Shut the fu*k up Axe" Leonardo curses.

"Guess that leaves us. My name is Beatrice and this is your Uncle Enzo" Beatrice says in a cheery tone.

"I can speak you know" Enzo says chuckling.

Holy fridge his voice scared me. Never expected it to be that deep.

"Introduce yourselves" Enzo says looking at his sons.

"Giovanni" The one standing on the other side of Vincent says.

"I'm Alessandro" Another says. He was standing beside Leo with his arm around his shoulder.

Ayee, another Leo.

"And I'm Marco and this is my twin Mario" One says from beside Alex.

I just nod my head.

From my calculations, I've gathered that everyone has duplicates in this family. Cool.

Where the hell is mine.

"Valentina, introduce yourself" Vincent says.

"Well you guys already know my name so I'll just say my interests. I like playing video games and playing basketball, I like eating food, as well as taking my brothers hoodies" I say with a wide smile on my face.

"What games do you like to play?" Marco asks.

"Uh, mainly COD and Modern War Frame" I say stuffing my hands into my pockets.

"Sick"

"Cool"

"She's not boring"

All my cousins around my age shout excitedly.

Even Leonardo cracked a smile.

"Alright settle down" Grandpa says silencing everyone.

"So what's with the sudden reunion Father?" Dad asks looking and Grandpa.

"What, your not happy to see your older brothers Antonio?" Enzo jokes.

"Oh shut up" Dad says smiling.

"So whats the big news Father" Dad asks.

"Well.." Grandpa says prolonging it.

"Just say it old man" Xander says.

"Watch it boy. Anyways as I was saying, we've decided to move from Italy to here" Grandpa announces.

"Oh" I say.

"Really?!" Xavier says excitedly.

"Ok" Alex says.

"Also all your cousins will be going to the same school. They just won't be able to start till next week" Grandpa further explains.

"Yes!" Xavier and Xander shout at the same time.

Xander? Excited? Damn.

"Why did you guys decide to move Father?" Dad further asks.

"La mafia" Grandpa says in Italian as his face turns stone cold.
