Ariana's POV:
Raf fratello was very scared to hear what papa had to say. He was afraid that they would not accept him but I believe that he is wrong.
"Wh... Why?" Raf fratello stuttered.
"What do you think?" Papa asked him instead.
"I.. I think it's because I am gay." He replied meekly. This is the first time that I am seeing him so nervous and not confident in himself. I think this is the fault of us humans that our thinking is this degenerated that we have this impact on everyone else without us even knowing.
"I think that you don't know us at all. How can you say that?" Twinnie said furiously.
"Do you really think that this is the reason why I am disappointed in you, Raf?" Papa asked him.
"I think so." He replied.
"Then you are wrong." Papa said and Raf fratello was very shocked.
"What? Then why are you disappointed?"
"Sigh. I think that I failed you somewhere that's why you think this way. Why do you think that I will have anything against you being gay? I don't care who you like or who you marry as long as you are happy and that person is right for you. It doesn't matter if that person is a man or woman. I am disappointed in you because you thought that I would discriminate against you for being gay. You didn't trust your family. I don't know how you got that idea of us being like that."
By now Raf fratello was pretty much astonished and shocked to say. He didn't believe what he was hearing and I was very happy that I knew my family well enough to know that they will not do something like that to their family members.
"Really? I am so happy that you accept me for who I am." Raf fratello said in excitement.
"Of course we are happy that you are in love and have found a person that is right for you. But I didn't think that you will have these types of thoughts. Have we ever made you feel that way?" Tony fratello asked him.
"No it's not that. Actually Luka told his parents and they threw him out of the house. That's why now I feel afraid that you guys will also feel that way. I am sorry. I know that I am wrong and this is my fault. I shouldn't have gone so much in my head and should have trusted my family. I am sorry." Raf fratello said apologetically.
"Wait a minute. Is this the same Luka who was there in your ward when you got shot?" Ben fratello asked him suddenly.
"Yes he is the same one." Raf fratello told him.
"So when did you start dating him?" Alf fratello asked him. Raf fratello told them the whole story of them meeting and dating.
"You kept this a secret the whole time." Twinnie said in an accusing tone.
"Sorry but I wanted to see where this is going before telling everyone. Now can I ask you guys a question?"
"What is it?" Leo fratello asked.
"When did you know that I am gay? How did you guys find out?" He asked them confusedly. He hasn't figured out how they knew about this.
"Well we are your family. Of course we will know who you like or not. You always tried to maintain a safe distance from the girls that showed interest in you. You always showed interest in the boys. So we all knew all along that you are gay and were waiting for you to tell us." Leo fratello explained to him. Now I understand how they knew. It is understandable that they knew that he is gay.
"And I thought that I had kept it well hidden." He said.
"So when are you bringing him to meet us?" Papa asked him.
"Whenever you guys want."
"Okay then bring him tomorrow if you both have time."
"Okay dad. I will ask him. Thank you all of you for understanding me. I am sorry again for misunderstanding you guys. Ari was right that you will understand me and accept my relationship."
I smiled at him. Of course I was confident in my family.
"Princess you knew?" Papa asked.
"Yes papa. I told him to tell you all." Papa nodded.
"So Alf, when are you bringing Luna home to meet us properly?" Leo fratello asked.
"Soon. She is busy with her bakery right now because she is opening another branch. When she is free I will bring her." Alf fratello told us.
"So Raf fratello, does Luka know that we are a mafia family?" Twinnie asked.
"Yes, I told him. That's why I thought of introducing you guys to each other. He accepts me for who I am." Raf fratello said proudly. I can see that he loves him a lot.
"That's good then."
"So Tony, Leo and Ben, when are you guys getting a girlfriend?" Papa asked them. As they are the only ones who haven't had a girlfriend except twinnie and I.
"Not now." They all said in unison like they have practised it. Papa looked a little helpless.
"Fratelli I think it is a good idea for you all to get girlfriends. I also want to have some female support in this house." I pouted. I think they should find a girlfriend but they will have to be willing.
"Ariana when the time is right and we find the right one for us we will of course have a girlfriend but you should not worry about all of this." Leo fratello said. I nodded. I know that he is right.
"Okay let's go and have dinner." Twinnie said. We all went to have dinner. After that we went to sleep.

Morning:
Today our family is coming from Italy in the evening so I am very excited. I quickly got ready and went downstairs to have breakfast. Today only I and twinnie were there for breakfast. All of my brothers and papa have already left for work as they have to come early in the evening to receive our family relatives.
I am so happy that all of them are finally coming. Only one thing is great about this mafia ball and that is that our family will be together in one place and we will be able to enjoy ourselves. They are staying with us for half a month this time around. Yay!
"Twinnie, are you as excited as I am?" He asked me.
"Of course I am. I am super excited. You don't have to ask me that." I said to him happily.
"I am just waiting for this day to end quickly." He said.
"Then let's go to school." He nodded and we went to school. We arrived at the school and went to our classes.
Classes were as usual and the day went by. It was time to go home. Twinnie and I went home and saw that all of our family members were already there.
"Hey guys. All of you came already." Twinnie said.
"When is the jet landing?" I asked.
"In about two hours." Tony fratello said. I nodded and then went to my room. I rested for a while. Then I completed my homework.
Just then I received an alert on my laptop and saw that someone was trying to hack my computer. I was a little excited because it has been some time since anyone has tried to hack my computer. I started typing rapidly and was a little astonished to see that they were good at what they did but not on my level. Sorry buddy. You will have to be disappointed today. I typed for a few minutes and completely blocked the other party and also enhanced my computer security a level above.
While I was counteracting the other party I also saw the other party's location and information. Hmm... Interesting. Someone from our mafia was trying to find 'A'. I find it very interesting. What will be the reaction of them when they find out that it is me. It will be very interesting.
Just as I was thinking all of this, I heard twinnie's voice and he came in. Thankfully I had closed the window of the application otherwise he would have seen various types of codes and discovered me.
"Let's go twinnie. It is time. They will be landing soon. We have to go to the airport." I nodded and went with him.
"So who will go to the airport?" I asked.
"Tony and I are going to the airport." Papa said.
"What, I also want to go." Twinnie said.
"Me too." I chimed in.
"No. You guys stay here. We will be back soon." Papa said.
"Please papa. Pretty please. I want to go." I said while showing him my puppy dog eyes.
He sighed and nodded. "Ok. Let's go."
"Yay!" We cheered and immediately went to the car.
"Shotgun."
"Shotgun."
We both said at the same time.
"No, I said it first." I said to him.
"Nope. I did." He argued back. We started arguing when papa and Tony fratello came.
"I am going to sit in the passenger seat. You both sit in the back." We both pouted but went to sit in the back because we can't argue with the big bro. Otherwise he might not let us go.
"He always takes the advantage of him being the eldest." Twinnie muttered. Still Tony fratello heard him and shot him a glance. He immediately shut up. I snickered softly. After half an hour we reached the airport. Then we went to the area where our private strip was. The jet will land here.
"When will the jet land?" I asked Tony fratello as he was in contact with our cousin.
"Just a few minutes more." He replied.
"Ok." We waited for some time and just as he had said, the jet landed a few minutes later. We waited for everyone to ascend from the jet. Then I saw that everyone descended and we rushed to them and I hugged my grandparents first.
"Nonno, nonna, mi siete mancati così tanto." I said to them.
(Nonno, nonna, mi siete mancati così tanto: Grandpa, grandma, I missed you so much)
"Anche tu ci sei mancata tanto, principessa." Grandpa said.
(Anche tu ci sei mancata tanto, principessa: We also missed you so much princess)
"E noi?" Zio and zia asked.
(E noi?: What about us?)
(Zio: Uncle, Zia: Aunt)
"Certo che mi siete mancati entrambi." I said to them, giving them a tight hug.
(Certo che mi siete mancati entrambi: Of course I missed you both)
"Ah, quindi ti sei dimenticato di noi, vero?" Elio said.
(Ah, quindi ti sei dimenticato di noi, vero?: Oh so you have forgotten us right?)
"No, no, fratello. Anche voi mi siete mancati tutti." I said to them, giving them each a hug.
(No, no, fratello. Anche voi mi siete mancati tutti.: No no brother. I have missed you all too.)
"Oh, quindi ora che Twinnie è qui, mi avete tutti dimenticato." Twinnie grumbled from behind.
(Oh, quindi ora che Twinnie è qui, mi avete tutti dimenticato: Oh so now that twinnie is here you all have forgotten me.)
"Non è così, Matteo. Ci sei mancato tutti." Zio said like always, the favourite one.
(Non è così, Matteo. Ci sei mancato tutti.: It's not like that Matteo. We have missed all of you.)
Twinnie then hugged all of them. Tony fratello and papa also came and hugged them one by one.
"Okay we should get going mom." Papa said to Nonna.
(Nonna: Grandma)
"Yes, let's go." Nonno said.
(Nonno: Grandpa)
We then went home with our family. I am so happy that finally all of us are together. We chatted the whole way home. Then we reached home and saw that all of our brothers were in the hall waiting for our return. It's going to be a hell of a time with all of them together.
