Impossible Love

Impossible Love 101

Maxieplus

Teddy and Brody had been talking about football and how planes stay in the air, then Brent said they could go to the cockpit for a look if they liked. They didn't need a second invitation as they scooted off. John helped Brent in the galley and after the babies had been fed, they handed out sandwiches to the adults just for a pre snack. The smells coming from the galleys ovens were intoxicating and I started to get hungry, so I grabbed some sandwiches. When I finished them I then went to check up on the kids. Anna was fast asleep and so was Sam, Luca, Jack, and Antonio, the plane's engines have lulled them to have an afternoon nap. I confirmed with gran everyone had eaten and was happy then went back to my seat next to Gianni. He pulled a blanket over us and started with the fondling straight away.

"Dirty buggers please eat something before you disappear into the toilets." Brent handed our lunches out, he had already fed the pilots and the big boys, now it was our turn.

The boys sat opposite us and were whining about how long it's taking.

"We have only been in the air two hours, plenty of time to go." I smiled.

"Well, we will go and put the foot down to move it faster."

"Don't you dare touch anything,"

"They can't be that hard to fly," Carlos said.

"They are, the smaller ones are easy, but this one you have to have loads of hours of training." Gianni surprised me.

"I have almost a small plane license Antonio, once I was going to do that, but I liked wine too much so I ditched it after two lessons." I smiled because I know you have to have more than two lessons.

"Have you still got the uniform?" I asked.

"No, but I could borrow one."

"Umm. I will think about it." I preferred Gianni as a gypsy anyway.

I ate my delicious meal and we were offered more so we shared another one. The boys had seconds and I noticed Gino was also having some more. Dr. Mike was with the kids and talking to gran and Anna, Grant had gone up to the cockpit to talk to the pilots, I think he's the spare pilot so Brent told me. Conner had his nose stuck in the computer with Ray, he was answering fan mail, maybe.

I snuggled into Gianni to have a nap and all was good, and when I looked across the aisle Iris was fast asleep and lightly snoring.

The flight once again was tedious but I was amazed how confident Brent was around us all, he seemed to be able to read our minds. A few minutes after my long nap he was up again serving juice and coffee, and then he went to check if the kids had been changed and needed anything, this he did several times. I felt like a third wheel and decided to at least pretend I am doing something.

I went to the sleeping quarters and talked to gran she would like a coffee and a biscuit or something sweet so I asked everyone else, by the time I got the orders Brent was behind me with most of it.

"But I want to help."

"Just enjoy your flight, leave the business end up to us." He grinned.

"But I feel like I'm not doing anything."

"You aren't Antonio, you do bouquets. I do flight attending." He laughed.

"Dinner will be an hour away, do you want the children's now or will I leave it for half an hour?"

"Half an hour they are mostly asleep anyway," Anna said.

And so it went we drank napped and ate, I cuddled Gianni then the babies, and had a long talk to Lukas about joining Teddie's football team, he had been sitting with the two older boys for some time, at one stage Brent had played some footy tapes for them to watch in their seats.

We landed in Singapore for refueling and were allowed to depart the plane for two hours, it was a very welcomed respite because the kids were about to go stir crazy. I stretched my back and walked around the duty-free shops with everyone in tow, while I looked at after shaves Gianni looked at phones, Leon and Carlos were helping him but he didn't buy one, and I passed on the after shave I have too many anyway. The next part of the journey will be a long fourteen hours, but we all got through it, I even managed to play some cards with gran for some time. Yes, and the toilets were used many times, even Gianni and I managed to squeeze ourselves into a very comfortable position.

Finally, with whiney little ones and our travel bags thrown over our shoulders, as the airport cleaners waited to do their jobs, we exited the cabin.

"The boys will fly onto London to drop a load then come back commercial to join us tomorrow," Brent told me, so I said my goodbyes and thank youse to them then I departed down the stairs.

Sabine, who had been sending reports on Lily to us was at the airport with Tony, he shook our hands and we all hugged Sabine before she grabbed a baby.

"When will the baggage be here?"

"It is being taken straight to the villa Sabine no need to worry about it, and if I am not wrong John is talking to the driver of our bus so we can head off anytime," Conner said. He couldn't avoid it, the paparazzi were onto him and he wanted to move away from the crowds, how they knew he was coming to Rome is anyone's guess.

With one whiney baby in her arms, Sabine marched out the front followed by some very tired travellers.

Gino and Anna were all eyes when the driver took us on a small tour of the Coliseum and other monuments.

"There's St Peters, and the Vatican," I pointed out. They had their faces to the windows and they can do their tour of the holy city when gran and I come here.

Just a short trip past the Vatican we pulled into a parking area, there was a van there unloading our luggage and as I alighted I was confronted with an Italianate villa that was resting peacefully on the Tiber.

"Wow this would have cost you an arm and a leg Ray, it's beautiful." I looked at the smiling grandfather.

"Not really in today's terms Antonio, we bought it years ago when no one wanted to live in this area, it was quite cheap back then, but now I couldn't even tell you how much it's worth."

"Well, it's bloody beautiful."

"Come on, grand tour time," Conner yelled.

We traipsed into the hallway, well it was more of a gallery. A grand staircase to the side opened the view up and the kids started running as soon as they were put down.

"Beach, beach." They could see the river shimmering at the other end of the expanse.

Moods were lifted and wine was produced as Iris Leon and Carlos headed for the expansive balcony across the back. Boats and cruisers passed by and the staff started bringing out food and drinks and placing them on a very big familiar Italian family table. It was nice to smell the fresh air again, and I wasn't looking forward to our return trip so I groaned.

"Don't start Antonio, we have ten days or more to enjoy ourselves." Gianni grinned, he knows me so well.

"The bags have been taken up to your rooms, there are two nannies for the babies, and you two I am trusting you can behave yourselves if you go unsupervised, and no sneaking off into the city either." He looked at Ted and Brody.

"Yes daddy, we will be good."

"I know you will, but you have to share a room," Brent answered, they high-fived each other.

Sabine rattled on about the baby and she was wanting to know when we were going to see her. Gianni said after lunch and I offered my two cents worth.

"Couldn't we go tomorrow, I want to see her but I am so tired."

"Tired for a nap with Gianni's dick I think Antonio." Thank you for that visual Leon, and yes that's what I meant. We had managed to get a few moments in on the plane but nothing beats a big bed. I loaded up my plate with pasta, the carbs will put me to sleep.

"Mr. Gianni there is someone to see you at the door." The footman said.

Gianni got up and followed him inside, Sabine nudged me.

I heard crying, loud talking, and a lot of loving words as Gianni and Magdalena walked back with their baby in his arms.

"An early surprise Antonio." Sabine smiled.

I jumped up and almost ran to see Lily she was beautiful and so small but the shock of dark brown curly hair overtook her sweet features.

I hugged Magdalena and Gianni and we all cried with happiness. Gran was the first to hold her after us and she did the same, talking to her in Italian.

Lukas and the babies were introduced to her then everyone fussed while eating and drinking in celebration. Magdalena reconnected with her other four babies, they wouldn't remember her but they would know her smells as she cried with joy.

"You do not mind Mr. Antonio?"

"Not at all, she's beautiful thank God you didn't have another three that could be a problem for you."

"I do not mind if she had two heads, she is the one I wanted the most, a daughter." I took her hand and kissed it.

"Any plans for more?"

"Maybe." She laughed.

We had a wonderful catch-up and were invited to her restaurant for dinner one night or during the day when it pleased us. She had finished the renovation to her busy restaurant which included a big dining area upstairs so we will all fit in for Sabine's party.

I was happy to get all the news of her and Mary's lives together they were happy and well and truly accepted by everyone. Lily slept mostly, even though she was passed around the table constantly, but on the third passing, Gianni stopped it all and kept her to his chest. She has to know her papa, and his smells are awesome so she will know who he is, so he told me.

"She can stay the night."

"She's too young yet Mr.Gianni."

"Okay, next week then." He giggled at Magdalena's face, I don't think she's going to let her little girl go anytime soon, maybe she was scared Gianni will take her after all in Italy the father is king.

They had to leave after three hours, she had to get ready for the night crowds, she was telling Gianni that her bestseller was pizza slices she served from a window from the kitchen for the passer by's, ten euros a slice and his wine was constantly going out the door.

She left with fanfare and bub's had started crying for some milk, so she was placed in a taxi and it drove off, she had to go do that job first.

We all found our bedrooms and once again the babies were all placed in a central one. I suspected it was the grandfather's room because it was the biggest. We met the nannies they were wonderful, and then most of us crashed to get a well overdue sleep. I had just pulled off Gianni when the boys started, their bed was lumpy and they were scared to be in the big strange house alone, so I moved over and Gianni moved with me. The beds were as big as the ones back home so we all snuggled together.

"Stop it, Carlos." I heard Gianni say, then a slap followed.

"Ouch."

"Serving yourself right, get your dick out of my crack and go to sleep."

I laughed under my breath and Gianni's arm held me close.

I had a hangover when I woke, it wasn't from the wine it was jet lag induced. To clear it I had coffee and a sit in the fresh air while everyone slept on.

I checked in on the babies, some were awake and playing on the floor and some were asleep like my Lukas. Sam was nowhere to be seen he had become restless so his mummy was called.

"They will be fed and changed shortly Mr. Cartasso, we will bring them out to you." The head nanny said, I thanked her and left to go see who else was up.

I found the big table and was surprised there was food already out, Ray and John with Brent and Conner were there.

"Good morning everyone I trust you all slept well."

"Yes thank you, Antonio, and a good morning to you," Brent said.

"Any plans for today?" Ray asked.

"Not yet, I think we will just show Gino and Anna around the area."

"They are already doing that, they left fifteen minutes ago." Conner smiled.

"It's okay we gave them a map and they have the internet on their phones they can't get lost, but they were eager to get into it."

"Nothings open yet?"

"We told them that, but they were dying to see some old ruins." He laughed, I grabbed a coffee and some toast, and all of a sudden I was hungry.

"Well we have some business to attend to today so we won't be around," John said.

"You are on holiday." Conner was concerned.

"Only today Conner, it has to be done then we are at your disposal."

"When do Phil and Dave fly back?"

"Tomorrow our plane will go on to Melbourne with different staff then come back to pick us up."

"That's a lot of flying."

"Cargo Antonio, it will be loaded up with money making cargo," Brent said.

"Oh."

Gianni and the boys arrived with the babies so I let them play, Lukas screamed when he found the big pots of flowers and he ran to ask John if he could water the plants.

"He's a gardener, he starts gardens wherever he goes, he cooks too." I smiled and John found a watering can from somewhere and Lukas did his chores.

"Grant, gran, grandad, and Mike were next followed by Brody and Teddy. Teddy sat on Brent's knees and Brody headed for Grants, they were picking out what they were going to eat. Iris came next and grabbed a coffee, she looked jet-lagged and I suspect she will be napping off and on all day.

"You will feel better after you eat something," I said to her.

"Yes, I am a little hungry." She started the meal off by loading her plate up, gran sniffed as she took only what she wanted, no excess food for her.

"When are Roberto and Adamo coming to town?" I looked at gran.

"Today or tomorrow Antonio."

I was looking forward to seeing them, especially Adamo it seems like ages since I had seen them.

"Can I suggest something for today?" John said.

"Yes, as I said we have no plans."

"Well you can get the housekeeper to order up a tourist boat and cruise up and down the river, there's a lot of stuff to see and the kids will love it, less walking that way."

"Sounds like a plan, and I will buy Gino and Anna a ticket on the hop on hop off bus too, they can just about see all the main attractions from it." I offered.

"You can buy them on the boat, Antonio," Conner said.

"Good, we will wait for them both to get back and discuss it with them, maybe Sam can stay here with us while they do a tour."

"Tomorrow Antonio, do the barge today because it's only a couple of hours and then you can all rest some more," Ray said.

Gran had grabbed Lukas and was feeding him his breakfast, he was smiling because everything was pretty much the same here as at home.

The five babies played around our feet, I think they were trying to play chase I heard a lot of giggling.

When Anna and Gino came back Sam headed for them and they sat to have something to eat. I told them our plans, they didn't have any but said they had found plenty of old ruins in the area and Gino looked at Teddy and said.

"We also found a park up the road, not much grass but there were kids there playing soccer." His eyes lit up and he looked at Conner.

"Yes we will take you both up this afternoon, is it far?"

"No, one block away Conner, they were all younger kids too."

"Wow," Brody yelled and they slapped hands, they did a lot of that on the holiday.

I went to the kitchen to borrow a pad and pen then sat and made a list of the things we had to do, I penciled Gran's visit to the Vatican in two day's time, then told Gino they could do the tour while we are there.

"Sounds good to me, but you don't have to worry about us Antonio, just being here in this villa is enough for us, it's spectacular."

"It certainly is." I smiled.

Sabine and Tony arrived and she made coffee then she grabbed a loose kid to cuddle, Sam wasn't in the mood but little Gianni was.

"Did you see Lily this morning?"

"Not yet Antonio. I told Magdalena I wouldn't haunt their business but we will go there for dinner tonight maybe." She smiled.

"I will ring her." Gianni offered."

"No, I have booked already, be dressed by six boys."

"And your big party?"

"Thursday night we will make it five because then the babies can come."

I penciled that in.

"That leaves the weekend to go to the winery, is everyone coming?"

"Do you have room for us?" Grant said.

"Of course, I can't even count the bedrooms they have at the manor house, so everyone is coming, they are mainly holiday apartments so everything you will need is there in your rooms?"

I got a yes from them all.

"I will let Rosa know Antonio," Sabine is now my secretary.

"And boys are you coming with us or are you doing your own thing?"

"We would like to be following Antonio if it's all right with Gianni."

"What?"

"Nuthin Antonio." Leon blushed.

"Okay, that's it what did he say to you both?"

"Nothing Antonio." Carlos played with the small pendant around his neck.

I looked at Gianni he almost cringed, but I could see he was hiding something.

"Now!" I slapped my hand on the table, everyone jumped.

"Gianni told us to do some tourist plans for ourselves and not to annoy you with any small problems, but you are doing the planning anyway and we want to be with you, so that's it."

"Leon shut up." Gianni snarled.

"It's not fair Antonio is our friend, we do not like to treat him like a stranger and what will we do? nothing, just sit and wait for you to get home again."

"I told you both to make holiday decisions for yourselves, Antonio is retired from organizing your holidays."

"You told them to not include themselves in our family holiday?"

"Yes, well no, not in those words Antonio, I want you to not be worried about anything that is all, and they sometimes do that when we are here."

"Iris, give me a loafer." I held my hand out while she slipped it off with a grin.

I took it and slapped Gianni with it hard.

"Ouch, stop it, Antonio."

"If I ever hear of you placing restrictions on my brothers I will chase and bash you up for the next ten years, leave them alone." I slapped him again.

"But Antonio."

"Do not but Antonio me, I give up I have never heard anything more ridiculous in my whole life. You can all fuck off and leave me alone except you Leon and Carlos, you can annoy me all you want." I stood up threw my arms in the air and yelled again.

"That's it, no more." Then I went to lean on the railing with my coffee throwing Iris's loafer on the table.

"Feisty bugger isn't he?" Conner laughed.

"Very feisty Mr. Conners, stand back while our Gianni tries to get out of this big one," Leon said. Everyone was laughing and so was I. I didn't mind if Gianni tried to make my life easier he means well. His arms went around me and I got an apologetic whispered in my ear.

"I can't hear you Gianni, they can't hear you either, and apologize to your brothers, that was so disrespectful.

"Antonio," He whined.

"Now!".

"Awwww, I am sorry." He shouted.

"That's better, shower time." I grinned.

We made sure the babies were looked after and went to make some love in the shower which wasn't that much bigger than the one on the plane.

We finished what we urgently needed to do and dressed, I went to find day clothes for the boys and then went back to the balcony. I was watching the boats cruise past and as our friends returned from their bathroom duties I fixed up my notes and left the paper on the table.

One hour later we were surrounded by screaming kids on a tourist boat that had pulled up next to the private jetty. We each held a son because there were no safety vests supplied, thankfully the seating was all glassed in and the aircon was keeping us cool. We pulled into several docks so we could walk around to look at tourist things and Gino and Anna took many photos. At a big square, bread crumbs were purchased and the babies had a ball feeding the pigeons, they chased the little boys and the boys were screaming with much delight. It was more than a two-hour cruise but when we arrived back, some were asleep some were just about sleeping on their feet, so they were kidnapped by the nannies and put to bed for a nap. I headed for the bedroom as Leon opened a wine, Gianni had taken a glass so I thought I would get in a nap also.

I wasn't alone for long as the bed moved and Gianni slipped in for a refresher course in how to make love to me. Although it was wonderful, sleep was even more welcomed as I drifted off in his arms.

The party had well and truly started when I woke, Gianni had disappeared and I went to find him sitting on the balcony, he had a glass of wine in his hand and his legs up on the railing boat watching with Lukas. I had checked Luca out and his bottom looked a lot better, it was good having Mike here with us because he had checked several times and had deemed the worst of it over.

Ray and John came back and talked to Conner and Brent about their meeting, I have no idea what business they were organizing, maybe cargo.

Gran and grandad were sitting at the table having coffee and biscuits so I sat with them.

"Are you coming to the Vatican grandad?'

"No grandson, that is your nonna's business I will do the tour with the others."

Two boys came and sat and moaned that they hadn't seen me for a long time, and Sabine turned up again minus Tony. She wasn't in the best of moods as she took Lukas off Gianni who joined us at the table, he poured the vino and I sipped it, there's no way I am going to get drunk today.

"What has got you all flustered dear mother-in-law?"

"Nothing much Antonio, just some family business I cannot overcome."

"Oh?"

"Maybe later Antonio it is involving the chateau on the next property, it has been empty for years only the housekeeper and groundsman live in it."

"I remember you saying you might buy it and restore it for events."

"Yes that one, we do not need a lot of lands just the chateau, but I cannot get any answers from the staff, and I believed it was owned by the government. I went to the titles office today to find out but they were being very tight-lipped about it."

"Get Roberto onto it."

"I already have had him doing some investigating but he's coming up with nothing, I cannot remember the family that used to live there I think it's just been abandoned."

"So the government should know surly if it has staff someones paying the wages?"

"The government man indicated the Vatican may own it, the rumor is it used to have nuns living in it. I don't want to be throwing money away on any more research to find out it is owned by them, they like to buy properties, but not sell."

"Maybe they will sell it to you."

"Maybe."

"We have to go there Thursday do you want me to ask?"

"Would you, discreetly that is."

"Of course, I will have my Contessa with me and she can insist they tell us." Gran harrumphed.

"That would be awesome Antonio, I will write the address down for you."

"No problems." I had no idea what the Vatican will come up with maybe just coffee and a talk about the old days, but I will ask, it costs nothing.

There was noise coming from the front entrance and in an instant, I was swept up into Adamo's arms, he shocked me with a huge kiss on the lips. The party got a little hotter after that and I saw some new confidence in his eyes as I looked into them.

"Welcome to Italy Antonio."

"Thank you my Adamo, welcome to you also it's been too long, Roberto, come here." I hugged my hunky lawyer then I looked at Brent and winked, I think he's impressed with my Italian lovers.

I introduced Roberto and Adamo around and they sat and we had the best catch up.

"Angelina and Francisco didn't come with you?"

"No Antonio, there is a big wedding party at the manor tonight, she is needed there but will come tomorrow." The villa must be full by now but when I asked John he said there wasn't a problem, they had the keys to the one next door and the rooms have been readied.

"Do you own that one also?'

"Why buy one when you can have two." He winked.

"Okay." I winked back.

"So tell me all the news?"

"Not much to tell Antonio, my father is looking forward to seeing you."

"The father also Antonio? you will be busy sure you don't need a hand?"

"Brent, behave." Conner laughed.

"The father is the king of the gypsy Conner, I cannot refuse him." I laughed and poured another wine.

"A king?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I thought you knew."

"I don't think I know that story."

"I told you Con, but at the time you weren't listening." Brent winked.

"Tell me again."

"Adamo's father is the king of the gypsy, Adamo is a prince and being the only son, Gianni, whose father is the king's brother is next in line then Lukas."

"Wow, and your father doesn't want to be King?"

"He's dead," Gianni said.

"Sorry."

"No problem." Gianni took Lukas off Sabine and hugged him, he will never forget what his father did to his boy.

"So we have three princes a Contessa and a Count at the table."

"Correct," I said.

"That's amazing," Conner said.

Babies came from nowhere and were swept up by their uncles for cuddles, a lot of Italian was spoken but I am sure Adamo and Roberto were very happy to see them all again.

The housekeeper came to talk to Ray she said the house was ready and the bags were in the room. I was thinking that they may sleep with us tonight and got an instant hard-on. It has been too long, and as we princes caught up gran and Roberto were talking quietly. Adamo is loving his job and had a few promotions along the way he is now Tinker's right hand man, the boats were kept very busy and Gianni's old gatehouse has had a facelift and a big conservatory added across the back, I couldn't wait to see it.

When Roberto disappeared for a while I asked Adamo how Matteo and James were going, he sees them more than me. He told me they were coming to Rome in a few days, he also told me they had mutually broken up.

I looked at him in shock, he assured me they were still in business together but they had parted ways, something I didn't want to hear.

"Why, they were well suited."

"They just decided they weren't meant to be together, but they had a lot of fun on the way."

"And what are you not telling me?"

"Matteo is still looking for love, James knows that and has moved on, he's happy Antonio."

"That's so sad, I thought....."

"You thought they would be together forever, but not everyone is like you Antonio, or me for that fact."

"I hate it but it is what it is, maybe I can talk to them."

"Maybe it will be best if you stay away from it, there is no going back for James he has already moved on, and as I said they are happy to be just business partners."

"I will ring Matteo tonight," Gianni said.

"No, please stay out of it Gianni they are happy that's all you need to know."

Gianni looked at me, he was deep in thought. I don't know the reason they broke up and I prayed it wasn't because Matty had feelings for me still. But it took only one look from Gianni to tell me that's what he's thinking, Matteo is maybe still in love with me.

Roberto has finished his talk with gran and more paperwork was handed over, we all went to the villa next door to settle them in, while the others looked around I sat on the bed while they unpacked the few clothes they had bought with them.

The house was beautiful and much the same as the other one except there was no balcony, it had been filled in to make a larger family room, but thankfully standing at the big windows the views were the same.

When we arrived back two things happened, Grant Brent Conner and Mike took the two older boys out to see if they could find the park, Gino and Anna went with them they were eager to explore some more. The second thing was Roberto handed an ornate box to gran and said.

"I believe this is yours, your highness." He grinned as gran tentatively took it from him. Sabine's eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw the Tiara it was gorgeous and covered in the clearest sparkling diamonds I have ever seen.

"Your family Tiara Contessa, try it on."

She blushed, resisted, then stared at the glittering medium-sized headpiece, she then found a mirror and Carlos attached it to her hair. She looked every bit a Contessa and I suggested she wear it to the Vatican when we visit.

Yes, I got slapped for my nonsense.

"The rest you can either take with you, or I will have it shipped with Gianni's stuff."

"What rest?" I asked.

"The other six tons of diamonds, brooches necklaces earrings rings the whole jewelry store." He laughed.

"No seriously, it's only a backpack full gran, you can take it back with you. I have documentation for the customs people."

I was dying to go through it all. Sabine of course had to have a try then Gianni then me, plus the rest who were hanging around, like the housekeeper and nannies. I am sure by the time we leave for dinner tonight everyone would have worn it, even the babies who looked adorable with it on.

"It's in my room gran, I will bring it over later on but I wanted this to be special, it is your family tiara, it was made for your grandmother and passed to your mama. It also comes apart and it can be worn as a necklace."

"I do not need for such things Roberto, but thank you for all your hard work, the most important things have been done. I will have to buy a new safe Nonno, maybe a bigger hole in the back yard."

"Maybe a safety deposit box at the bank nona, just after you show Stavros." He laughed.

"This is for my other grandchild Lily she will inherit it from her nona,"

"Not me?" I asked.

"What do you need for such things Antonio, maybe when you have a change in your gender you may get it."

"Not happening," Gianni said.

"Lily will love it," I said and it's fitting she should have it any way she's the only girl in the family at the moment.

"That was very generous of our gran to do that Antonio."

"It is typical gran Gianni, we will hold it for her until she can appreciate the history and value of such a magnificent gift baby, maybe a wedding present for lily."

"We will hold it then and maybe you can play ladies with it on one night."

"I may do that Gianni."

Iris couldn't put it down and Sabine was getting cross with her and tried several times to snatch it. They played the game until Tony arrived, then they were as sweet as apple pie to each other.

"Did I miss something Antonio?' he whispered.

"Yes, world war three." I laughed.

"Thank god." He let his breath out, he then picked up the shining headdress and placed it back in the box pushing it over to gran.

"There settled."

I think Sabine was about to make gran an offer for it, but I'm sure Iris would outbid her at every turn.

They all came back and again bottles were opened and the talk around the table was they had a great time especially Ted and Brody they met some kids and played soccer, they have an appointment with them early tomorrow.

I think Grant and Mike will be taking them but Brent said he would tag along with Conner for a while, they wanted the guys to have a holiday also, not to be babysitting.

Showers were taken and friends dressed for dinner, we were off to Magdalenas restaurant for a meal. Strollers were produced from somewhere and our cavalcade of beautiful people headed out the door.

All I could hear on the way was football talk and Leon and Carlos walked arm in arm with me, making Gianni feel a little redundant.
