I look at the time and see that I have been searching for a while because it's 12am. In that time I learned the names of all of my brothers and how they look. My oldest brother is Luciano and he is 26, Vincenzo is 23, Alessio and Alessandro are twins and are 21, Giovanni is 18, and lastly my youngest brother Loerenzo is 17.

I decided to put them aside and look at the photos of my mother that I have of her and I on the phone. After looking at one photo I started crying. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I miss her so much, she was the only nice part about my life.

This went on until 2 in the morning and that's when I felt tired and fell asleep.

Alfonso's POV (When they called him)

I was getting ready to eat dinner with my children when I got a call. Nothing bothers me more than when I get interrupted. I look at the number and it says it's from Phoenix, AZ. Who's calling me from Arizona? I decided to answer it.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, am I speaking with Alfonso Morreti?"

"Yes, may I know who I'm speaking to?"

"Hello sir I am Officer Madden from the Phoenix Police Department. I was calling to let you know that Isabella Romano passed away and she has left Valentina Romano in your custody. I was wondering if you still wanted to take her in?"

"YES! Yes I would love to. I will send my private jet to come pick her up. It will be there around 12 tomorrow. Would you please send me the paperwork to my email? Also, could you by chance send me a picture of her as well?"

"No problem. I also wanted to let you know that her mom killed herself and Valentina was pretty close to her." Oh my god why would she do that to her. That selfish bitch.

"Thank you for letting me know have a good day."

"You're welcome. You have a good day as well."

Oh my god my princess is coming back home. I didn't realize I was smiling until I look up and see that my sons are looking at me confused.

"My baby is coming home."

"What do you mean?" Luciano asked, speaking for the rest of his brothers.

"Isabella died and she has me as Valentina's guardian. Valentina's coming home!"

"How do you know it's actually her?" Vince asked me.

"They are going to send me her picture and information. Also Isabella's last name was Romano. There is only one Isabella Romano that I know." While I was saying this I got a notification on my phone. I looked at it, it was the email from Phoenix. I open the email and the first thing I see is a picture of her. There is no doubt in my mind that she is my daughter. She's grown up so much, she looks so beautiful.

"Dad can we also see?" Asked Giovanni. I didn't say anything. I just turned my phone for them to see. We all forgot about our food, they were too busy telling each other how beautiful she looked.

I got another call and when I looked at it, it was from phoenix again. Why are they calling again? I answered because something might've gone wrong.

"Hello, is everything okay?"

"Hello sorry to bother you, everything is okay. It's just Valentina was wondering if you would be able to bring her mother's body to Italy so she could bury her there?" I honestly don't want to bring her here. But if I want to be on Valentina's good side and have her not hate me I should probably have Isabella buried here.

"Yes that's fine, just email me the paperwork for it so I could fill it out."

"Thank you sir, goodbye"

"Goodbye."

I knew I was going to have to tell my sons about this so I decided to get it out of the way.

"That was the officer. He wanted to see if we could bring Isabella's body to Italy and have her buried here. And before you guys go off on me Valentina wanted to see if we could. I don't want her to hate us because she was close to her mother."

"I'm okay with it too. Just don't have her buried in the family grave."

"That's okay. Okay you guys eat so you guys could rest. Also, who wants to go out tomorrow to buy Valentina things so we could set up her bedroom?"

"I do." I heard Gio say.
"I will." Lorenzo said.
"I'll go as well," Alessio said.

"Okay, get her neutral colors so that she could choose a color when she gets here."

After we're done eating we all go to our rooms while Julia cleans up the dining table and kitchen. I can't help but feel excited for my baby to be home again.
