Chapter 22: Nonna is Home

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Yes, as much as I would love to explain the whole story to you, unfortunately, my sister along with the whole of the Romano family will be coming for a visit so I have to make our time together short. Good news is that I'm sure that the rest of my lovely family will just love to meet and spend some quality time with you." I watched as the bastards eyes looked like they were about to bulge out of his head and his breathing began to become more heavy. 

"That being said I have to leave you alive enough so that we can all have our turns." I announced, picking up the pliers.

Isabella POV

Hannah stayed true to her word and a few minutes after she left the room she came back but Kaia wasn't with her. For some reason, she looked like she was going to cry. She stitched and put ointments on my wounds, giving my, in a daze, dad medicines that I'm supposed to take and instructions as to what they treat and when I'm supposed to take them.

"Alright, sweetheart, we are officially done. Just go change back into your clothes and you are all free to go, ok?" Doctor Hannah announced, giving me a smile that showed off her slightly crooked teeth.

Giving her a quick nod of the head and leaving towards the bathroom to-quickly-change back into my comfortable clothes to not only, be comfortable again but also because I'm ready to leave this place.

As I walk out of my hospital room, my brothers and father stand in the hallway. Why do they look so out of it? 

"There you are, you ready to go? The rest of the family should be at the house soon so we're going to have to hurry home. Leo texted and said he was finishing up with his work." Dad shared with the rest of us, his news making smirks appear on their faces replacing the dazed looks that were once there. 

I'm glad they're smiling, although I'm still a little nervous about meeting the rest of the family but seeing them happy enough to smile about our family coming over is easing me nerves a little.

...

Just as the song on the radio was coming to an end, we were finally pulling into the driveway. Once the car came to a complete stop, we all started piling out of it. 

"Alright guys, we have around 15 minutes to spare before everyone gets here. I expect you to be on your best behavior when they get here and do not fight your cousins. I believe we all remember last Christmas, yes?" Dad announced, locking his gaze with Theo's while Ilias and Mateo started chuckling. And the rest of my brothers shook their head, walking into the house. 

What in the world happened last Christmas?

Soon as everyone was in the house we all went our own directions, I went to go up the stairs but was stopped before I could. I looked up to see Alessandro standing in front of me with his arms crossed over his chest and his usual stern look. 

"Where do you think you're going, sorellina?" Alessandro questioned, raising one of his eyebrows.

"Up the s-stairs to m-my room. Am I not allowed to?" 

"We both know what the doctor said, no pushing yourself for the next 6 weeks so that your ribs can heal properly."

"But, I'm just going up the stairs?" I questioned him, how is going up the stairs pushing myself?

"Exactly, what if you trip while going up the stairs leading to you falling and hurting yourself even more than you already are. From here on out you'll be spending the majority of your time in the living room so that you can be supervised. Along with keeping ice on your ribs, per doctors orders. You'll only be going up the stairs if someone carries you." Is he being serious or is he joking? I can never tell with him.

"For right now it would be best if you stayed in the living room since our family is going to be here soon."

"But-"

"No buts I don't want you hurting yourself. Promise me you'll only go up the stairs if someone carries you, just for the next 6 weeks." My brother said emotionlessly but I see the pleading look in his eyes. I don't really want to argue and he's being quite adamant.

"Ok" I huffed out.

"Go lay on the couch, I'm going to get you an ice pack for your ribs."

Not even a minute later Alessandro came back with an ice pack. Handing me the ice pack before coming to sit on the couch with me. He turned the TV on before turning on a show called 'Dog with a Blog.'

We didn't get to watch it for to long before we heard the door open and a women's voice yell "Nonna's home!" (grandma)
