The months just flew by and it was the 17th of June. Christian was cuddling on the loveseat with his Princess. They were watching 50 shades of Grey. Ever since that night so many years ago that they watched it, at his apartment the first time it has been one of their favorites. Not that they ever seen the whole movie. They either fell asleep or ended up in their bedroom. Or on nights when the kids were not home the playroom.

I can't believe how busy the next two days are going to be Christian.

Christian kissed her forehead, before he spoke.

Our Little Chris will be one and Daniella will be 21 tomorrow and our Little Princess is getting married the next day.

That made Ana giggle. Everything he said was true, but every year since he turned 45 he has conveniently forgot about mentioning his birthday. But of course that does not mean he does not want a cake or gifts.

What's so funny my Princess?

You are, ever since you turned 45 you never mention your birthday ahead of time or age to.

That made Christian chuckle a little.

That is for your benefit Princess.

Ana turned a bit to look, her husband in the eyes and raised an eyebrow in wondered. So Christian continued to speak.

You are so young and beautiful, I don't need you or anyone else thinking you are married to an old man with a few specs of grey hair.

Ana got up turned around and saddled her husband's lap. Christian was really not surprised, but he was still speechless like every time she has done it before. Ana gently stroked the side of his head. Running her fingers through his black hair with specs of Grey. He knew very well she thought the specs of grey were sexy otherwise, he would have just covered the grey specs the first time he spotted them.

You know very well...

Ana was cut off by her husband's lips. With that they headed to their bedroom for some fun.

The next morning two of the birthday triplets were waken with a great surprise. An the littlest Triplets seemed to be giving his parents a gift by sleeping in a bit. Christian and Daniella both woke to their spouse or future spouse with their heads between their legs. They keep going till, their birthday girl and birthday boy cam very loud calling their names. Then with a quick kiss CJ and Ana went to make them breakfast in bed. Around 10 CJ and his family made their way to the Grove. After all they needed to get their birthday t-shirts.

The moment they walked through the front door, Little Chris was in his Granddad's arms. Then he pulled his mini me in close.

Happy Birthday you two. You guys are the greatest birthday gifts, I have ever gotten. I don't know what I did to deserve you two.

That put a huge smile on Daniella's face. She could say the same thing about her dad and son. Daniella kissed her Dad's cheek. before she spoke.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Christian kissed his daughter's head, then kissed his Grandson. Then he handed him off to his beautiful Princess. It maybe his birthday, but the looks his wife was giving him could kill right now.

The birthday triplets absolutely loved they birthday t-shirts and onesies. It was dark blue a picture of the three of them at Little Chris's 1st Christmas. Christian had Daniella pulled in close and with his left arm and he was holding Little Chris in his right arm. That is one of Christian's most favorite pictures with his Grandson and daughter. It is the 2nd biggest picture on his desk at his club. Of course his wedding picture is the biggest.

Sofia and her brothers were playing outside with their Granddads and Great Granddad. As the birthday triplets were relaxing in the living room as Ana and the ladies made the birthday lunch. Unfortunately MJ, Frankie and their families will not arrive till that night. CJ and Daniella wer not have the traditional bachelor and bachelorette parties. Tonight they are going to the club tonight to play poker with some of the men in their family. Daniella and Hannah will be the only ladies there tonight. The rest of the women and John will be watching the kids.

Daniella and CJ will part ways at midnight. CJ will not see his Princess again, till she walks down the aisle to him. Daniella will stay at the Grove with the ladies with the kids. As CJ stayed at his and Daniella's apartment with the men and Little Chris.

Around 10:30am, Elliot, Jason and their families arrived. The kids ran to find the rest of the kids and their Granddads. When the kids left the room, their parents breathed a sigh of relief. Its only a week into summer break and the kids were driving them insane. If they were not at their parents house, the men at least would be drinking. But Grace would never approve of them drinking before noon.

Around noon they had an amazing birthday lunch. Daniella and Christian did not wish anything big today, because of the wedding tomorrow. Grace surprised everyone, when she handed two of the birthday triplets a glass of whisky. Of course Elliot being Elliot asked where his was. Grace smiled sweetly as she spoke to her youngest boy.

Its not your Birthday.

The family spent the rest of the day at the Grove. Either taking their turn watching the kids or relaxing with the birthday triplets. Christian offered to have food brought in, from Daniellas, so Grace could relax. But the look on his mother's face, said he better not finish that statement. She did not care if its his birthday. He knows better to offer something like that. None the less she kissed his cheek and smiled sweetly before she spoke.

Thank you my baby boy, but you know how much I love feeding my family.

Grace made all their favorite foods and Ana made all their favorite deserts. An of course the birthday cakes. Around five they had dinner. Daniella and CJ passed out Little Chris's first birthday picture. Carrick absolutely loves the picture of his Great Grandson. It reminded him of his favorite picture of his boys and him.

Little Chris was wearing cute blue jeans and sneakers. No shirt and a hat that said one. Also there was a cup cake in front of him and blue balloons in the background. Everyone loved the picture. Ana could not wait for her brothers MJ & Frankie to get their copies. They may have not grown up together, but their closer then ever now.

Around 7, Mac and Carrick left to get Frankie, MJ and their families. Like in past years, Daniella got mostly kick boxing gear. Christian only wanted one thing for his birthday. So the day after tomorrow, Ana and himself are headed to Aspen for a week. Jason will be stepping up and taking care of the family business for his brother. About 10 minutes later, Carrick and Mac arrived back with the boys and their families. They hugged everyone, then Daniella and the boys headed to the club. After all midnight is only a few hours away.

About 8 they all made it to the club. The biggest party room, was all set up for them. A poker table was set of for 16 and a few bottles of whisky. Hannah, Apollo, Senator Blandino, Jason Welch, Sal, Val, Luke and Austin met them there. Jason Welch, Luke and Austin were working today because tomorrow is the wedding. The gun shipment was to important, to let just anyone deal with it. An the twins were in school.

Mac poured out the Whisky, as Carrick dealt the cards. When they sat down Jason Welch handed a card over to Daniella. With it being her birthday, she thought it was a birthday card. She opened the card and read it to herself. An when CJ saw quiet tears in her eyes he spoke. Daniella handed the card over to CJ. There was a golden heart on it with words. So CJ read the card out loud.

Aunt Daniella and Uncle CJ

I need an extra pair of hands

To help me learn and grow…..

I think that yours would be the best

Because Mommy and Daddy said so.

Will you be my Godparents.

Daniella pulled Jason in a hug as CJ shook the man's hand. An they said of course. After that Daniella and Christian told stories about their favorite birthday memories. That only lasted maybe 30 minutes. Mostly because Daniella and CJ were really looking forward to story time as they call it. When Christian asked CJ what story he would like to hear. He lifted the hand of his Princess's he was holding and kissed it before he spoke.

Ladies First

Daniella did something that she hardly ever does and blushed at his words. After a minute or two she spoke.

I was maybe 13 at the time. Granddad Mac got shot. Dad had a busted up face and hurt his arm An all most all of my Uncle's sitting here got hurt in someway. Pops was the only one that was not hurt.

Daniella said the last part with a soft chuckle.

Christian cringed a bit. That was one of the most embarrassing nights of his life. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong that night. Daniella whispered to her Dad who was sitting on her other side.

You don't have to tell us, if you don't want to Dad.

Christian kissed her cheek and whispered back.

I want to, mini me.

That made Daniella beam with happiness. She was pretty sure she loved this story time with her Dad more now then when she was younger and she was pretty sure her Dad knew it to.

FLASHBACK ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO

Christian and his main Capos, Dad and Godfather were meeting with another mafia family. The capos with him today are his brothers. His Dad was running late. He has been out all day with his Princess getting party supplies for Sal and Val's 12th birthday fair. After all the fair is tomorrow. When they were done, he was dropping her at the Grove. It should be a simple meeting tonight, but you never know. When it comes to meetings, like this.

They were meeting with the Brambilla family. They were not really allies, but not enemies either. They families have been working togather for generations. They need the Brambilla family to move drugs and guns through their territory's to get to one of the Greys territories. Its that time of year, when they renegotiate the terms of their agreement. Carrick still did not arrive, when the Brambilla family arrived. So they decided to start the meeting. Christian stood as they walked in to the main room of the warehouse.

Welcome

Harry Brambilla returned the greeting. Then they shook hands and sat down. The conversation started of normally. They talked about how they can make improvements on running the guns and drugs. Then came the time were they talked, about what the Grey's will be paying them this coming year to do the job.

With the cops, cracking down more, we believe a 20 % increase is more then fair. Making it $120,000 per shipment.

Christian spoke very clear. There was no stutter in his voice. By doing this, it should tell them this was not up for debate. But their guests did not get the message. After a minute Harry Brambilla spoke.

In a matter of speaking that is bull shit. 50% or nothing, 50% or war.

Christian raised an eyebrow in slight shock. Not that they would know, because his expression was other wise blank. He sat back in his seat and collected his thoughts. He would not yell in anger. They was no question who was the stronger family. An if push comes to shove the Grey's would always win. They could not be that stupid enough, to think they could right. In a calm but deadly voice, Christian spoke.

There will be no war. An you will gracefully take $100,000 per shipment. You need us more, more then we need you. An if you behave yourself maybe next year we can talk about the 20%. Now be a man an shake my fuckin hand.

At first Harry seemed defeated. An when he stood, Christian stood and was getting ready to shake his hand. But Harry did the unexpected. He went to strike Christian. This put all the men on high alert. An as Christian fought Harry, his capos fought Harry's Capos.

Christian was knocked on his ass, when Harry lunged at him. So as Harry started hitting Christian on his face.. But Christian was blocking every punch. After Harry got in a hit or two, he pushed back on his fists. Pushing him off. Christian rolled and got back on his feet. They circled each other. His family would normally sit back and enjoyed the show but they were a little busy.

Christian took his fighting stance. Harry went to strike his chest, but Christian easily blocked it. Christian and Harry went back and fourth for a few minutes and he was winning. Now all the men were armed, but no one thought to use their guns. That was till Harry's underboss and son Robert saw Christian had his father in a choke hold.

He pulled his gun and shot at Christian. Christian did not see it coming, but Mac sure did. It did not matter how old his kids are. He always keeps one eye on his boys and the other on the fight. Witch was a hard task, when all three where in the fight. It's a good thing his daughter was not in the business. He would have gone crazy a long time ago. He pushed Christian out of the way, just in time. Taking the bullet in his right shoulder. Just as Robert went to shoot at Christian again, he was shot in the head. Carrick showed up and was the one that shot him. The separate fights, surrounding Christian had stopped to watch the main event.

Just as the bullet went through Robert's head, the Grey men remembered that they two had guns. One by one you could hear three more shots go off. Then Carrick spoke for the first time since he got there.

What the fuck is going on here.

Through skaky breath and a soft chuckle, Mac spoke.

I think you can put the fuckin pieces together. Now some help brother.

END FLASHBACK

That night we took over Mercer Island. Luke and Jason being the least busted up, took their crews there and took out every last fucker in the Brambilla family.

So how did you hurt your arm Dad. I know you didn't hurt yourself fighting.

That was the thing that made Christian cringe earlier. He was not embarrassed, but he was extremely ticked off about the matter.

Well I was so caught off guard, when Mac pushed me out of the way. I stumbled hard., an I tried to steady myself with the wall.. Well the force from your Granddad's push and the cement wall. I ended up dislocating my elbow and shoulder. Your Aunt Mia said, I got really lucky. That I didn't trully hurt my whole arm.

The rest of the night just flew by. They told stories, drank and played cards. Till midnight rolled around. About 10 minutes before midnight CJ pulled his Princess into his arms. Sure it would only be about 10 hours till he saw her again. But its been four years since they first shared a bed and she woke up in his arms. An they have not missed a morning since. CJ kissed Daniella at two minutes till midnight. They only pulled apart when the best man and maid of honor pulled them apart themselves.
