We have booked our Rooms , Right now I am in My room , feeling Nervous , hopefull and scared. Papa is Really silent , I don't know what is in his mind .....
I will just Sleep now , Or I will try , I am not sure If I can even sleep.

1 Day before ,
---
I'm really scared.
I'm with people I don't know, and one of them is wearing a uniform-an officer, I think. They told me that Mum and my stepdad died in a car crash.
I don't know what to feel about that. I'm in some place that looks like an office, but it's big and cold.
They're saying I might be some rich man's lost son, but I don't really get what that means. They want to take something called a "DNA sample" from me.
What even is that?
I just want to sleep, but my body hurts so much.
Walking with my crutches is harder than ever, and every step feels like I'm carrying a hundred pounds.
They said they talked to a man who's supposed to be my real dad. He lives in Italy, and it's going to take a long time for him to get here.
They said I have to stay in a foster home until they figure out if I'm really his son.
I don't understand any of this.
The people in this foster house are nice, They brought me food and they even didn't hit me!! ,but there are so many kids my age, and it's really noisy.
I'm lying on my ____no _____this bed that isn't mine, staring at the ceiling.
I should be tired, but I can't fall asleep.
I'm too scared.
What if I have a nightmare about... about him? I don't want to sleep.
I don't want to see him again, not even in my dreams.

The result is out.....He is .....He is my son...I am feeling like I am going to cry , I can finally see my don again after 5 years , I can't believe this .
"Papa" Massimo snapped me out of my thoughts, He seemed .....worried. Why would he be worried?. I Thought .
"Yeah Mass?" . I answered .
" I ...uhh talked to the ... uh doctors who take the sample of Luca's DNA , They ... They.. uhh" He released a deep sigh , but before he could talk I interrupted him.
"What is wrong Massimo?" I said, my voice firm.
He understood that he needs to tell me.
"They told me that Luca ... Luca was .. he was abused , papa he was abused by his stepfather, and he walks with the support of his crutches ,They don't know what injury it is , yet"
This can't be real , you must be kidding me.
Il mio bambino è tornato, e... e ha subito abusi
(My baby is back , and ...and he is abused)
If I wasn't sitting on a chair in the lab I know that I would have collapsed.
I always regret that I wasn't with Luca that night I wished I was with him , that I have never left his room, And more than that , he needs crutches to move on??, How bad was it .
"Papa , papa!!"
Mass snapped me out of my thoughts, My breathing has quicked now , I feel it. Massimo's hands are on my shoulders.
"Papa, you okay??" Massimo asked
I gulped , before replying
"Yeah...yeah I am fine but what do you mean that he is abuse ,He ... uses crutches ro walk?"
Massimo nod , while still hesitating
"Yeah , yeah he needs crutches , We don't know what is injury yet but I promise papa that I will check on him and know his condition, we .. we just need to treat him differently , He will suffer from Trauma , But we will help ,I promise" Bark That's all .....That's all alot , I don't feel that i have understood everything, he is coming after years and .... and... Did Isabella abused him? ,Oh God.
Leonardo came , he looks upset, I think he knows , Why didn't these doctors told me myself , Not my sons , God.
"He is coming from the foster home , He will not be here , We have to get him from the same police officer that led us here "
Leonardo said .
With a sigh , I stand up, and begin to walk to the car , My sons behind me.
We still need to go to an office , of the police whom officer Marco led us to him , God , That's all alot.
When we are at the car Massimo says :
"I am going to call ric...to tell him the news and to tell the twins "
I don't say anything I just begin to drive.
The nice lady said I am going to my father now , I walk beside her , I am slower than her because of the crutches , I hate it.
She leads me to a police officer , I remmember him. He was nice he is the one who brought me here.
"Hey , buddy" He said
"H-hi " I said to him feeling shy , He crouches near me .
"Remmember when I told you that your Father is going to come?"
I nod , feeling nervous .
"Well, he is coming now and guess what, he is coming with 2 of your brothers , ooh , Did I forgot to tell you , you have 5 older brothers"
He told me with a small smile.
So , now I have a father and 5 brother , that's....That's alot.
Will they be nice like this officer , I don't want someone to hit me agian , please.
"Hey buddy Don't worry, they are good people , I promise you , In fact , they have been searching for you for 5 years , I promise you that they are good , and that they love you so much." He said
I nod , That is good right? Maybe they won't hurt me like he did.
"Ok , come on now let's get to the car to see them"
He begin to walk so I walk behind him , The nice lady waved to me , and I smiled back at her.

I am now sitting on the couch, In the Officer 's Office , He said my dad and brothers will come soon , My thumb is in my mouth , suckling it, It comforts me.
I am scared, what If they don't like me , what if they hit me like him , please no, no more hitting. But the officer said that they love me , Right?
I am now walking with the officer , James , his name I have known that, to his office , where Luca is there , God , I hope everything will go good.
James opened the door and there I found a boy so small , fragile, he didn't look older than 5 years old , like 5 and half years old, how? Luca is supposed to be 7 years old , but he was abused , was that so snad like this?
He was wearing a short sleeve shirt, which showed his bruises , he had a long cut in his right arm , thatbwas going to his forearm, and the rest of his arms were some small cuts and bruises , why would someone do that to a child , he is seven years old , for God's sake , how can someone do that to him ,
looking at his face, I see that he looked scared , his eyes widen , but nevertheless he still has his baby fat in his face even though he is skinny , he still has his toddler features, he looks so young , God , i miss him , beside him on the floor his crutches, reminding me of all the things happened to him , this must be bad ,so bad.
Everyday , I regret not being with him that night.
"I will leave you three with him untill i bring the papers" I hear the officer say , it is me , lorenzo , Massimo and Luca in the room ,I slowly walk to luca , he looks at me while sucking his thumb , I crouch next to him , but not so close to scare him .
"Hey , Luca ,I...I am Alessandro your dad " I said to him in english , I don't think he will remmember italian .
He look up at me , nervously, I smiled at him , I nod to him with my head to , Leonardo and Massimo, where they are standing far from us
"This is your oldest brother, Leonardo" I said to him while pointing to Leo
"And this is Massimo, your second oldest " I look at him again but he is lookin at his brothers .
Leonardo walks , sitting on the armchair next to the couch .
"Hi ,Luca " he says to him in english , while waving to him .
Luca pulls his thumb out of his mouth and he says
"H-hi" He says , his small hand moving with a small wave, Mass is walking next to the arm chair
"Hi , buddy , you ready to go home?"
He nods , while standing up pulling his crutches from the ground , he starts to walk to the door and we all go
Woaaah , These people are.. are sl tall , they look huge and strong , will they hit me like , he did? I think that they are stronger than him , Please no.
We start to walk to the car after the officer stopped my dad to , write something on the paper , I think , now we are outside a car , when my brother Massimo, crouches to me
" Hey buddy , Can I help you to get in the car , I just need to lift you up"
He says , I want him to help me , But ... but what if he isn't nice , what if he hurts ,me , he maybe even be angry if I didn't say yes , so I nod at him , hs smile at me and he lift me up , Wooaah he is so strong , he sits me on the seat and lays my cruthes under me .
"Here you go buddy" He says to me while smiling again , He is nice , I like him.
Now Alessandro is driving , and leonardo is in the seat beside him and now Massimo is sitting next to me.
"Ready to go home luca?" Leonardo tell me while smiling
"Y-yeah"I said .
"Ok let's go"...
