Luca's POV

"This is so exciting." Lily claps.

"I missed it there." She sighs. "You were there a few months ago." Ezra responds as Lily puts her hands on her hips. "A few month too long." She points at Ezra.

"You'll get to see, my pony, the horses and the goats." She nods. "Oh and the chickens... can't forget those." She smiles.

We're going to their farm house, incase your wondering. Ezra asked me if I wanted to go to their cottage for a few days. I obviously said yes.

"Do you guys just have a whole ass farm." I look at Ezra. "Basically... oh and we also have fish." She shrugs. "Oh ya... can't forget about them fish." Lily sighs.

"You guys are still here?" Iris question as she walks into the living room with Killian behind her. "Ya... leave." He shoos us. "This is my house, don't shoo me." Ezra says.

"Do you pay for the house?" Killian asks with a smirk on his face. "She actually does." Iris points out. "Well than... never mind." He shrugs. "Ha." Ezra smiles.

After we say goodbye we leave.

About an our or so later, we arrive at their farm house.

"I'll get dinner ready, you two can go outback to see the animals." Ezra says heading to the kitchen.

"Come fourth." Lily says walking to the back door. I follow her out. "This is the farm, o o o this is my horse. Her name is Hersey." She smiles.

"Ooooo goats." She continues. "Here are the chickens and right next to them are the goats." She points.

"Do the goats have names?" I ask. "Uh goat one two and three." She smiles. "Hmm." I look at the three goats. "And which is which." I ask looking back at her. "I do not know." She she stares at them. "Probably should figure that out."

"What's over here?" I ask walking over to it. "Our flower garden, well Iris's flower garden." She answers.

I go all the way to the end of the path, I see a grave.

In memory of Rocco Ferrari A loving father and grandfather Age 49 Years

"He had cancer." She sighs. "My mom and Iris avoid that topic at all cost." She continues. "I heard he got better." I say. "He did, but the cancer came back worse."

"My mom wants people to think he's still alive, people thinking he's alive will protect Sofia and I." She pauses. "I think she's doing it for herself though, so she can pretend he's here and didn't actually leave."

"Is this where you guys have been mostly or have you been at the other house?" I ask. "Sorta, this is more of a get away. We come here to clear our minds." She answers. "We live more in Paris than the farm side."

"Dinner." Ezra yells.

"Already? It's been like five minutes." I say. "She probably heated up frozen pizzas." She shrugs.

We walk back inside and sit down at the table.

"How did you like the barn?" Ezra asks placing pizza on the table. "It's was nice." I answer. "Just wait until you go horseback riding through the trails." She exclaims. "Horse girl." Lily points at her.

We all grab a slice of pizza and eat.

Surprisingly it's not awkward at all, it's comforting. We're talking and laughing.

After a while we all clean up.

"Here's the guest room." Ezra says opening the door. "Everything's small, well because it's a cottage." She rambles on.

I chuckle. "It's nice, chill." I say as she sighs. "Ok." She looks at me. "Goodnight." She says turning around and walks out.

I start getting ready for bed, i called my mom telling her I am here and all that shit. Even when I'm 35 she still worries. I thought that would go away. Guess not.

I hear a knock on my door.

I open up the door and I'm met with Lily.

"I had a nightmare." She fake pouts. I roll my eyes and allow her in. "Sooo can I call you dad or." She looks down at her hands. "Yes you can." She smiles. "Ok." She says laying down on the bed.

"What time is it?" She asks. "Ten, so Goodnight." I answer.

"Dad." Lily says. "Yes." I respond. "You're not leaving again right?" She asks. "No I'm not." I answer as I close my eyes.

"Dad." She says again. "Yes." I respond opening my eyes. "Are you gonna marry mom, so we can be a family family?" She questions. "In the future yes." I answer. "What about tomorrow?" She asks. "No not tomorrow." I say. "But it's the future." She reply's. "It is, but I don't have a ring." I say. "True true true." She sighs.

And if I proposed to Ezra tomorrow... she'd probably chop my head off and send it to my mom for her birthday.

I close my eyes.

"Dad." She says. "Yes Lily." I say. "Goodnight." She responds snuggling close to me. "Goodnight." I say.

Few moments later.

I wake up again as my door opens. Ezra is standing there looking completely dead. I motion her to come over.

She walks over lays down next to me and closes her eyes.

I look down at Ezra. She places her head in the crook of my neck and puts her hand on my chest. I look at Lily she's leaning against my side with her hand under her cheek.

I'm never letting go of them again.

—————————-Ezra's POV————————

The next morning

I wake up Lily's still asleep leaning against Luca. He has his arm wrapped protectively around her.

I place my head back on his chest and close my eyes again.

Few moments later

I wake up again, this time Lily's gone and Luca's awake. Why is this always happening.

It's the second time it's happened chill.

I sit up and stretch. "Morning." Luca says staring at his phone. "Morning." I sigh.

Shit I'm tired as fuck.

"When are you going back to Italy?" I ask looking at him. He shrugs. "I don't know, I'm waiting for my parents to decide."

I laugh softly. "You're 35, and your waiting for you're parents to decide when you leave?" I joke. He looks up at me and smirks. "Yep."

He reaches up and tucks my hair behind my ear. "Come back to Italy with us." He says. "Why?" I ask titling my head. Iris and I were already planning on going back, but why not make him beg.

"You're mine, and she's my daughter." He answers. Back with the your mine shit... wait did he just say. "Lily's not your-" he cuts me off. "She is." He says. Oh... I'm not complaining.

"So, do you want to come back?"

I look down. He drops his hand from the side of my neck. "It's ok if you don't want to." He quickly says.

I can tell he's getting nervous. Sense when did Luca Vincenzo get nervous.

I look back up at him and smirk.

For some reason I lean forward and press my lips on his. I can tell he's surprised by my action... well so am I. I just got possessed by my sleep paralysis demon.

I pull away and notice a smile come across his face.

"We'll go with you." I smile. "Good." He says gripping my chin. "If you said no, I'd carried you both to the plane myself." Didn't he just say- never mind.

I look on my phone and see I got a text from Lily. She went out like five minutes ago to get food.

Why is she being mature, she never is.

"Come on we have to go to stuff." I get out of bed. "Go do stuff?" He questions sitting up. "Like feed the animals." I shrug. "Who fed them when you weren't here." He asks. "I'm rich, I hired people." I turn to face him.

"Let's go." I pull him off the bed.

We go downstairs, I fill up a few buckets and hand them to him.

"Give these to the horses." I say. I continue telling him what else to do as well.

I make my way over to Iris's garden.

I bend down and start picking out all the weeds. I clean up that whole area, to make room for whatever flowers Lily picks out.

I bend down in front of the grave.

"Hi dad." I smile.

"You probably heard already, we're going back to Italy." I say as I continue to clean around him. "I'm excited, I just wish you were coming back with us."

I stare at him for a moment. I feel a lump in my throat start to form.

I put down the cleaning supplies and hug him tightly. "I want you back." I whisper.

As I continue to hug his grave. I feel as though I'm getting hugged too, I feel warm and safe.

I open my eyes to see if Luca was there, but he wasn't. I'm alone.

I feel a tear slide down my face as I pull away. "I miss you so much." The feeling of being warm goes away.

After I gather myself. I kiss his grave. "We'll come back here to see you soon." I say before I walk away.

I stop walking when I see Luca feeding the chickens. Is it bad that I think he looks hot right now.

Oh great now he's cussing out the chickens.

He still looks hot. "I don't have anymore food, you fucking needy ass chickens." He walks away from them.

I laugh. "Having fun?" I say as I approach him. "I'm having a blast." He says. "The only animals I liked were the horses, they left me alone after I fed them." He continues.

I look down and see a chicken pecking his foot.

"Would it be animal abuse if I kicked it." He looks at me. "Please don't ever become a farmer." I say.

"Wasn't planning on becoming a farmer anyways." He kicks the chicken away him. "That was mean." I say.

The chicken runs back over to Luca and starts pecking his foot... again.

"Well." He bends down and picks up the chicken. "I know what we're having for dinner." He walks away from me.

Wait what.

"Yummy chicken." He says continuing to walk away from me.

"No Luca, we don't eat the chickens." I chase after him.

Few hours later It's dinner

We're eating chicken.

Not the chicken Luca had. That chicken almost died, I saved him.

We're having store bought chicken.

"I also got flowers." Lily continues. To be honest I wasn't listening to a word she was saying.

"What did you guys to today?" She asks. "I saved a chicken." I stare at Luca blankly.

"What did you need to save a chicken?" Lily asks. "Ask Luca, sense he almost killed the poor thing." I respond.

"Why did you almost kill a chicken?" She tilts her head. "It was annoying me, and kept pecking my foot. So I almost cooked it." He shrugs.

Lily looks at me than looks back at Luca. "Don't ever become a farmer." Haha that's I said.

"Anyways." I say. "We have something to discuss with you." I look at Lily.

"How would you like going back to Italy?" I ask as her eyes went wide.
