At breakfast table everyone were gathered to have breakfast. Leonardo decided to tell the news of arrival of other family members. Lonardo- yesterday I got a call from Italy. Your grandfather is coming! Tomorrow.

Yeah it was Leonardo father’s call.

Everyone gets excited expect isabella. Who is confused. Jasper- everyone is coming? Leonardo- yes.

Upon hearing the arrival of new members, isabella was anxious. There were a lot of question going on her mind and her anxiety attack was coming back. Suddenly someone shook her violently. She look and it was Edward.

Isabella- what happened. Jasper- we were calling you for so many times, were are you lost bells. Isabella shook her head in nothing, and looked at her food. She felt someone hold her hand and looking at the person its Edmund. Edmund- what happened baby? Won’t you tell us.

Isabella wanted to share but she was hestating. She has never share her problems with anyone before, and no one has ever asked her with so much love, even once she tried to say her problems , but she just got backstabbed. Its hard for her to trust and put her thoughts openly. She again shook her head saying nothing. And resume her eating.

Rossi’s cannot see the look of distraught in their sister face but at the same time they don’t want to force her too.

Alesandro- isa, baby. Tell us what happened! Don’t say anything we can clearly see something happened to you. Or you wouldn’t eat your food with your own. Tell us isa.

Isabella couldn’t control herself seeing her family concern and worried expression on his family faces. She asked the question that was the most important for now. For her.

Isabella- what if they didn’t like me, will you send be back?

Isabella pour her feelings in front of family members without thinking twice. Her family was shocked on listeneing on her.

Edmund – why would you think like that diana ? Adraian- how can that thought came into your mind bella? Isabella- iam sorry ! Leonardo- we will talk after finishing breakfast. Edward- but da… Leonardo raised his hands indacting him to stop.

Everyone resume eating with heavy heart. Today there was a heavy silence. Isabella was scared thinking that she have angered her family. Jasper lightly caressed her hands, in order to comfort her. She gave a small smile to him. Edmund started to feed her. She didn’t wanted to eat. But didn’t dare to say in case she angered them more. After finishing breakfast everyone gather in living room .

Isabella was sitting in front of Leonardo. Her hands were shaking very badly. Leonardo noticed it. He hold her hand and kissed her hands. Isabella feel a little better thinking they are not angry at her. (AT least for now.)

Leonardo- what makes you think like that stella?

Isabella shook her head. She didn’t know how to explain things to her family. How to explain them , what she has faced? Will they believe her? Or judge her? Or ignore her? Or her send her back to that place , to her mother. How can she explain to them that her insecurity has gotten the best of her. She decided to keep quiet and looked on the floor.

Leonardo hold her chin and ,made her look at him. Leonardo- never ever look down stella. Always keep you held high baby. And answering to your question........

Baby, your grandfather is a very strict man. No one in the world has seen any expression on his face. But we saw a expression on his face for the first time when you were born. He cried for the first time in front of the whole hospital when he took you in his arms. Do you think he will not like you?

Your grandma she always wanted a girl child, but she can never have one. When you were born she was the most happiest woman on the whole planet. she even have given an 100% discount on all her products, when you were born. And even she has opened various, shops and company on your name. Do you really think she will not like you?

Your uncles were the mature persons anyone can see they have the calm and composed look always. When you were born they always fight who will hold you first and who will be your favourite. Do you really think they will not like you?

Your Aunts , in business world everyone fears them , one mistake and they are out of the company, the employees beg on their knees for forgiveness, but they don’t give a damn about their pleadings. And In every family meeting they are the ones who cried the most, the stopped coming to family gatherings because they missed you like hell. Do you think they will not like you isa ?

Your cousins, just have to look at you they will fight like kids and here your brothers, they will not let them see you, they never bow infront of anyone but just for one look of you they do all the things they have been told. Do you really think they will not like you bella ?

Isabella was lost of words, she was so overwhelmed with emotions. She never knew she was so loved. To hide her emotions she hugged her dad tightly.

Isabella- iam sorry dada, i didn’t knew, Soon she find more arms hugging her. Isabella – aghh!! Dada I can't breathe. Everyyone laugh at her.

Aurelia- everyone go back to your respective works, because today it's our day. Today bella will come with me. Jasper was about to say something, but aurelia beat him. Aurelia- no jasper, no boys. Today its mom and daughter day, all of you go away shoo shoo!! All the boys started to make sulking face .

Isabella pov-

After a much emotional turnover we are going out. Mom was super excited so do I. Aurelia- Alright bella, I think we should first go to shopping as you know your family members are coming tomorrow so, lets get them a small gift. How about you select the gifts. Isabella- umm, mom I dont know what they will like or not. Aurelia- don’t worry baby, whatever you will get them they will like it . btw for your security how about I told you what they are like and you can select the gifts accordingly. I nod my head at her.

She told me about everyone When we reached shopping mall we bought many things like Chuffkins. Braclet, perfumes, earnings , watch, purse, handbags, headphones, games etc.

According to everyone taste. Then our next destination was spa, we spent an hour in spa, we painted our nails and we even bought so many matching outfits. i didn’t want to buy for me, because we have recently filled my wardrobe, but according to mom I have very less clothes, mom literally forced me to try every outfits. Aurelia- haah !!!, iam so sure the boys are going to be so jealous. We have bought so many matching outfits. I giggled at her statement. Isabella- mom, don’t you think we should buy something for dada and for brothers too. Aurelia- hmm.. you are right. Let's do some shopping for them too. Then we buyed bit for everyone. And each and everything was of my choice. Iam very happy to get to do something even if its is choosing outfits.

After shopping and spa we went to watch movie, it was a comedy genre After all the shopping we got super hungry. We went to fill our tummies. Mom has ordered her favourite, and that was so yum . Aurelia- where you wanna go next baby? isabella- umm.. I don’t have any idea, how about you decide. Aurelia- how about we go for a tour. As you haven’t been here for long. Isabella- yes. Lets go momma. Then we went for seightseeing and museums. We also went on a ice cream date and have lot of junk food. When we came back we skip the dinner and straight went for dessert. Everyone was excited to know what we did, and as mom said everyone was jealous when mom said we buy matching outfits and we enjoyed a lot. We gave the things which we bought for dada and brothers . everyone loves the gifts. And mom cant stop telling how good my choices were. After along day everyones retires to their respective rooms.

After having conversation with dada in the morning and after spending time with momma I felt a little better. But the insecurities were not letting me at peace. Mom also loved me at past but she changed. What if they changed to.

Just then my door opens with thud, and jasper came, he plops himself on bed. I put my head on my chest and hugged him. he hugged be back.

Jasper- overthinking? Isabella- I don’t want to overthink but I can’t help. Jasper- do you trust me ? I nod my head. Jasper- then don’t worry bells. they are gonna love you a lot. When you are not even present they loved you a lot, you were forever the favourite child. Isabella - really, wohh!! he must be kidding!! Just for keeping my heart. Jasper- nope bells ! iam telling you the truth. You will see it tomorrow. I looked at him wide eyes. Isabella- how many sisters do I have jazz? I asked him curiously. Jasper- none. He said nonchalantly . Isabella- what?? I asked him shocked. Jasper- yes. You are the only sister we have. Isabella- wohhh!!! Jasper- yeah, you will get a lot of attention. Then he told me many stories and soon we drifted to sleep.
