Hi everyone...

An early update. Enjoy...

Rosalie's pov:

Today was the day I was going to go to Italy. I was already packed. Dad went all over the board while shopping with me and bought me everything I wanted. Everything was going so good. Dad loved me so much. I am sure my brothers would love me the same way like my dad.

We quickly went towards the airport. Dad already said me that we will be going through our private jet. I was excited for it. During the whole flight I kept talking with my dad while he attentively listened. The airhostress bought me all different kinds of foods to try as dad asked her to. I was happy enjoying my time in contentment.

Soon we landed around 5 pm. There were guards stationed outside our jet. As soon as we landed they covered dad and me aw we walked our way towards the car. I noticed that there were always bodyguards around us even in New York. I knew De Luca's were a well known business family so I didn't mind.

We soon reached a mansion. It was quite huge. It was surrounded by garden. Dad informed me that their was swimming pool, basketball court and football field as the backside of mansion. Everything was just too perfect.

I walked in through mansion doors holding dad's hand. We entered living room hearing chatter coming from there.

There stood 6 of my brothers looking at me with happiness in their eyes. Well not all. Alessandro had blank expression but he manged to give me a plain smile. To his right was a guy staring at me almost looking into my soul. I quickly broke eyecontact with him feeling intimidated. The other guy besides Alessandro smiled kindly at me which I gladly returned. On the opposite side were a set of twins, one of which was happily smiling at me and other one had no expressions. Besides him was other guy who waved excitedly at me giving me a full blown smile.

Dad bought we towards them and started the introduction.

"Rosie you have already met Alessandro. I hope you haven't forgotten him yet. " Dad says lightly chuckling. Alessandro gives me a small smile at dad's word which I returned with a wave. Even though he gave me a small smile I couldn't ignore the fact that he was still very intimidating.

"Well towards his right is Luca. He is not a man of many words so don't mind him much. He is great at basketball so you can ask him to teach you if you want." Dad said. I gave Luca a smile trying to not be intimidated by him. He barely returned it with a nod.

"Hello honey I am Elijah. You can call me Eli. You are so beautiful." The guy on the other side of Alessandro says. I smiled at his compliment and thanked him with a smile.

"Hey honey, I am Xavier. That's my twin Xander. If you need anything you can always come up to me." Xavier says excitedly jumping on his toes. I giggle at his excitement. His twin didn't say me anything other than giving me a nod.

"Well last but the best. I am Matteo. You can call me anything you want. I am the smartest out of all these so you can come up to me anytime you want. We can play all sorts of game you want." Matteo says excitedly. He was practically jumping with happiness.

"Ya right the smartest you say. Quite smart of to post on Official school group that you will do homework for $50 per subject. You literally have every professor including the principal on that group. " Xander says sarcastically.

"Its not my fault. I heard Luca say something about advertising business so I did. I didn't knew that teachers would get offended by my services. " Matteo says frowning.

"Services you say. No wonder you got a week's detention with extra assignment." Xavier says teasing him.

"I literally had to stay up all night to complete them. Stop being mean to me in front of our little sister." Matteo huffs.

I giggle hearing them. They continue to bicker between themselves including me in their conversation. I was finally happy that I had a big family to call mine. I smile thinking about my family. I was happy that noone asked about Alexia. I guess dad would have explained them everything. It is good that they have already forgotten about her. Now I just need to make sure they love me the most.

Third person pov:

Rosie had finally settled down in the next 3 days. Francesco always tried calling Lexi asking her about her whereabouts. After a few unanswered calls and texts after few hours he figured out she was busy. He realised she was not a calling person so he shifted on texting her. He refused to give her number to his sons. He enjoyed teasing them for not having her number. He didn't want to give them because he was aware they would start spamming her asking about herself and get blocked in response, probably even get him blocked for giving her number and he couldn't risk that.

He figure out that she wasn't a person of many words unless when it comes to argue. She was a bit akward and formal rethinking her words before sending them do that her oversensetive biological father doesn't get hurt. He would usually get a single word replies but he was content with that. It was more easy to communicate with her one word replies bacause he was used to getting the same from Luca.

He was determined to get close to Lexi. Rosie had already accepted him as her father and wished Lexi would also accept him. He was willing to take extra efforts for her and to go to any measure so that she finally accepts the family.

He loved both his daughters and was willing to do everything to make them happy. After he got to know that Rosie was a swimmer, he made sure that everything she needed was there for her. He even started constructing another swimming pool on backside with exact measurements so that she can practice there for any competition she takes part in school.

He already had Lexi room prepared after asking her about her preferences. He went over the top and started converting an extra room as dance studio after he got to know that she was interested in dancing.

He wanted to be a perfect father for them like he tried to be for his sons.

(3 days later)

Luca's pov:

Everything was going well since Rosie came. Dad tried to be more at home and allowed us to take more of his responsibilities. Matteo and Xavier were always running around her competing who is going to be her favourite. Elijah had taken over kitchen trying to impress her with his cooking skills. Xander didn't bother much but was always around her making sure she was ohk. Alessandro was busy with his work so he never got much time around her but he always went in her room to talk about her day before going to bed. Everyone was around her other than me. I tried teaching her to play basketball but she wasn't much interested in it.

I tried to be around her but she couldn't understand what I meant. I guess I came out as intimidating guy and my less speaking was not helping me either. Over the years dad and my brothers got used to my one worded response so it was easy for them to understand. They eventually learned sign language so that I was comfortable to communicate with them. It was wrong of me to expect her to understand me in hardly 3 days. She always had others around her who were much more fun and loving than me so it didn't matter much.

She never realized that I aways kept the fridge stocked with her favourite strawberry icecream or that I would always get her desserts because she was the only one in family who had extra sweet tooth.

It does feel bad when she accidentaly forgets about me while she made a cake or while calling me for a movie night. Alessandro and Xander always made me feel included whether it was by keeping half of their cake pieces for me or for coming to my room for a movie night after everyone slept. It is my fault that I am not that easy to communicate. I guess I am just being dramatic about everything. I need to man up and stop being bitchy about such small things.

My thoughts turns towards thinking about her twin Alexia. Dad informed us about her arrival tomorrow and asked us to keep is surprise from Rosie. It was surprising that Rosie never once mentioned about her own twin sister in these 3 days. Dad said that Lexi was opposite of Rosie. She was like a mini Alessandro. When he said about her refusal to come here everyone was upset but we knew it was not her fault for being vary of some strangers who claim to be her blood family. I could just hope that she would atleast try notice me. Maybe I could still have a little sister.

With those thoughts in my mind I fell asleep.
