"Georgia! You're going to be late for school." Mstteo yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
He knew he should have woken her up thirty minutes ago.
"God," Georgia groaned from somewhere up stairs.
The tile floors gleaming in the morning light.
"Your brothers are already waiting for you!" He hollered again.
"I'm coming, damnit!"
"Georgia Angelina Rossi!" He yelled, "You better nat have sworn in my house!"
"Voglio uscire da questa casa!" She yelled back.
"Well, you can't leave this house till you are eighteen! So hurry it up!"
He walked to the kitchen shaking his head. Teenage girls were a handful that was for sure.
"Dad, tell Bellamy to give me the cheese sticks!" The youngest of the twins whined.
"Leonardo, you are just a tattle tale."
Bellamy threw the string cheese at his brother's face.
"Mom!" Leonardo screamed at the top of his lungs.
She was going to kill him, that was for sure. It was his day to deal with the kids. And here he was, failing miserable at it.
"Leonardo I'm going to punch your face in!" Bellamy started to charge the younger brother.
"Boys." The woman's voice cut through the sound of Leonardo's screams for help.
Both boys stopped what they were doing and turned. Locking eyes with their mother.
"Sorry mom." They mumbled before running past Matteo.
"Get your sister, yall are going to be late at this rate." She said to them.
Her voice sounded like a melody.
Matteo turned to the woman.
Athena Rossi stared back at him.
She smiled widely at him.
"Good morning my love." She walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Buon giorno," he replied, placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Gross," Georgia had finally made her way down stares. Now she was faking a gagging noise as she watched the two of them.
"Get an apple before you go." Athena told her.
"Yes, mother." Georgia replied, snagging an apple off the counter before walking to the door.
When the door clicked shut, Matteo sighed. "I think she hates me."
"She doesn't hate you, she is just a teenager." Athena laughed as she twirled the long strains of his hair.
"Arlight," he kissed her softly. She giggled into the kiss.
"Don't know why you act all incontrol, when you know who wears the pants in this relationship." She smiled against his lips.
"Oh I sure do know," he smiled.
Sadly that was when the front door opened.
And in walked his brothers.
His two dead brothers.
Somewhere in his mind he knew that Bellamy and Leonardo had died. So why was he staring at them.
"It's sweet of you to name your boys after us." Bellamy was the first to speak.
"Bellamy!" Athena smiled and walked over to hug them. Both brothers kissed her on the cheek, hugging her back.
"So this is what you dream about, brother?" Leonardo spoke.
Matteo stood frozen, this was his kitchen. This was his life. What the hell were they talking about?
"I think I like it. Even more so with the happy ending and all that." Bellamy smiled as he spun Athena by the hand. "You deserve to be happy, brother."
"But it's not your time. You still got a lot of fighting to do." Leonardo reminded him.
They sounded so much like his brothers, they looked just like they had. Before they were snatched away from him.
The three of them had always been the closest. They were triplets, though only Bellamy and Leonardo looked alike. They all had their mothers eyes.
The pricing green.
"You still have fighting to do, so go fight. Fight for the life you want."
He blinked and they were gone. Athena stood at the kitchen door way. Leaning against the wall.
"You are real?" He asked her softly. "Our kids? Are they real?"
Athena gave him a sad smile, "No. We are not. And our childern, they will never be our flesh and blood. But maybe, maybe we can give childern a home. Make our family."
She walked closer to him.
He opened his arms for her. She stepped right into them, like she wad maybe for them.
"Fight for the family you want."
He placed his nose into her hair, soaking in the smell and warmth.
"You have to wake up now."
"...Matteo" someone seemed to break through the walls of his dreams. Someone was trying to wake him up.
"Wake up." Athena mumbled into his shirt. Grabbing him tightly
He sighed. "I love you."
The world around him seemed to fade into light.
"I know."
..............

He woke with a gasp, springing himself into a up right position.
He was gasping for air. He felt like he had been hit by a truck.
God it hurt so much to breathe.
"Matteo," someone shouted at him.
Someone told him to calm down.
All he wanted to do was go back and tell his brothers he loved them. Maybe hug his childern. Anything.
"Matteo you have to calm down." Someone grabbed his shoulders.
Light flooded his vision as he finally opened his eyes.
Hospital walls starred back at him.
He looked sound quickly, seeing that his three brothers were in the room.
Inias stood at the bottom of the bed, looking panicked by all the machines near Matteo's bed.
Antonio stood off to the side, looking like he wanted to help. He just didn't know how.
And Enzo was the one holding his steady, grounding him to the world around him.
"What happened?" He gasped. Antonio reached over and gave him a small water bottle. He drank the water graciously. He felt like he had walked the desert.
"When we found you, we got all the bombs disabled. But them we had to use a bomb to open the doors. The pressure of it, slung you around the room. You have a broke rib bone and some bruising. You should be alright."
Enzo spoke calmly, he was so collected thst Matteo wanted to worry. But he had enough to worry about already.
Then he remembered, he had a life to fight for. A family to hunt for.
"Athena, where is she?"
Enzo glanced at the other brothers in the room.
"Matteo," Enzo said softly.
No.
No.
