SkyGem: Hey everyone. Well, a few people have been asking me how Lambo could have black hair if Lampo has green hair and Sylvana has red hair. My answer to that is one of his grandparents had black hair; it skipped a generation, okay? Now, on to the story~
Giotto was passing by the living room when Tsuna, who was on the sofa beside Mukuro and Chrome, watching television, skipped up to him.
"Dad!" whined Tsuna, pulling on his father's arm. "When is aunt Sylvana coming home?"
Giotto just chuckled at his son's impatience. It was the day Sylvana was supposed to bring Lambo home from the hospital, and the kids were all excited; especially Tsuna, who was used to being the youngest and was looking forward to being an older brother.
"Just be patient, Tsuna," he said in an amused voice. "Lampo and the girls went to pick her up about half an hour ago. They'll be here soon."
The young brunette harrumphed and walked back over to the twins and plopped down in his previous seat.
Mukuro chuckled at his little brother's impatience. "Calm down, Tsunayoshi dear," he said, patting him on the head. "Here, look at this," added the other boy, then proceeded to conjure up an illusion of a kitten.
Tsuna was almost distracted, but at that moment, they heard the front door click open, then the sound of loud crying.
Immediately forgetting the illusion (which promptly disappeared), Tsuna jumped up from his seat and ran to the front door with the twins following him.
When he got to the front door, he saw his uncle Lampo and his three aunts there, along with all his other siblings.
When she saw him, Sylvana smiled and gestured for the little brunette to come over.
At this point, Tsuna got a little nervous, and started fidgeting a little. Walking over to his aunt, he stopped a few feet away.
Bending down a little so that Tsuna could see the bundle she was holding in her arms, Sylvana pushed away the blankets so that he could properly see his little brother's face.
"Tsuna," she said in a quiet voice so as not to scare the baby. "This is your little brother, Lambo."
Tsuna looked at Lambo with wide eyes, and when innocent green eyes stared back at him, he felt a warm smile form on his lips.
In response to the smile, baby Lambo reached his pudgy little hand out towards Tsuna.
Marveling at how tiny his hands were, Tsuna reached out and Lambo wrapped his tiny hand around his index finger, clinging to it as tightly as he could.
Laughing, Tsuna placed a clumsy kiss on the baby's head, and said, "It's nice to meet you, little brother."
As three months quickly flew past, the Vongola mansion was absolutely hectic, with the three women planning the wedding with the maids, and Sylvana getting used to being a mother.
Then, the day of the wedding was finally here, and both brides were in their waiting room at the church with their bridesmaids helping them get ready.
Both brides had 5 bridesmaids each, and Elena was maid of honour for both of them.
"Do I look okay?" asked Bianca for the umpteenth time.
Elena laughed at this, even though she was starting to get a little annoyed. "You look gorgeous, Bianca, and before you start, so do you, Sylvana."
Bianca was wearing a beautiful white strapless/sleeveless dress that was cinched in at the waist with a pale blue corset that really brought out the colour of her eyes. The skirt of the dress flowed to the ground like a snowy waterfall and had little blue beaded flower designs dancing around the skirt. Her short black hair had been curled a little and framed her pretty face while a delicate white tiara sat on the crown of her head. Her earrings and necklace were all white with deep blue sapphires embedded in them.
Sylvana, on the other hand, had decided to go with a white ball gown style dress with delicate lace sleeves. The bodice was formfitting, and there was a small bow tied in underneath the bosom. The top layer of the skirt was white, and just thin enough for the red second layer to be visible. The skirt itself was mainly plain, but had rose embroidery marching all the way around the hem. Her long, curly hair was in a half up-do and fell down her back like a fiery curtain. The tiara on her head was pure white, as were her earrings and necklace.
In order to tie in the two looks, Sylvana would be holding a bouquet of ice blue dahlias, while Bianca carried with her a bouquet of fire lilies.
At that moment, the door opened, and a boy with messy black hair. When he saw the two brides, he skipped in.
"Hey, mom!" called Takeshi, walking up to the younger bride.
Bianca visibly relaxed when she saw the boy who, in less than an hour, would legally be her son.
"Well, what's my handsome little ring-bearer doing in here?" she asked, bending down to place a kiss on the boy's cheek.
Takeshi blushed a little, then smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, dad thought that you guys would be really nervous, so he sent me to check up on you. You and aunt Sylvana look really pretty, by the way."
Sylvana giggled at the compliment, then said, "Well, he surely chose the right person. If Takeshi says we look pretty, then I guess we should believe him, yes?"
"Most definitely," said Bianca with an indulgent smile on her face. "Thank you so much for helping us relax, Takeshi."
"Haha, no problem!" said Takeshi with his signature grin on his face. "I had to help dad and uncle Lampo too! They were both so nervous, they couldn't sit still, and Uncle Giotto and Uncle Knuckle almost knocked them unconscious."
Bianca and Sylvana shared a glance when they heard this, then burst out laughing. If the two normally gentle best men were close to getting violent, then their soon-to-be husbands must be even more nervous than they were.
At that moment, the two mothers and the two mothers-in-law of the brides came in to wish the two brides good luck once more before the wedding started.
Then, just ten minutes later, the two brides were making their way nervously to the ceremony.
With their hearts thumping in their chests, they watched as Takeshi and Chrome took their first step down the aisle, the latter throwing flower petals in her wake. Then, the two of them found themselves accepting their fathers' arms and slowly making their way down the aisle with everyone's eyes on them.
As she got closer to the front, Sylvana's smile grew a little wider when she saw her three month old son staring owlishly at her from where he was resting in his uncle G's arms. Then, she turned her eyes to her husband, and her smile grew wider still when she saw him, and everything else in the world seemed to just melt away.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed, she was finally standing before him, and the pastor had begun the ceremony.
In another blink, they were making their vows.
Then, before they knew it, the pastor said the closing words, "You may now kiss the bride."
Both brides leaned in at the same time and captured their husbands' lips in a quick kiss, and the crowd let out a cheer.
When they pulled away, they stared into their husbands' eyes for a second longer before turning to the crowd.
After that, everyone returned to the Vongola mansion for the reception and partied the day away.
Later that night, when the reception finally came to a close, the two newlywed couples got into a car (with their children, of course) which bundled them off to the airport where both couples would get onto a plane to their respective honeymoon destinations. For Asari's family, it was Hawaii, while Lampo and his family decided to go to Niagara Falls*.
Approximately one year later
"…Are you sure about this, Kyoya?"
The younger skylark looked up at his father with his usual emotionless eyes. "Of course I am, father. I think it would be beneficial for me."
Alaude's eyes narrowed at his son's response. "We can't just send you to live there alone."
"Why not?" asked the boy. "I'm already twelve. I'll be safe with the maids over there. Anyways, you or one of the other guardians goes to that country at least twice a year. It will be fine."
"Why are you so dead set on this?"
"Kufufu, I think it's a good idea," interrupted a new voice. "Even though I don't wish to agree with the stupid skylark, my sweet Chrome and I would love to go there."
"I don't think so, young man," said yet another new voice. "There is absolutely no way we are going to let you kids live all by yourself in a foreign country."
"Father!" all three children shouted at the same time, having finally lost their tempers.
"We go there every summer with you guys," said Chrome.
"The maids and butlers will make sure we are taken care of properly," supplied Mukuro.
"We will come home during the holidays," added Chrome again.
"You can keep in touch with us through our phones and the internet," said Mukuro.
"We're all at least part Japanese," added Kyoya, making everyone stare at him in shock. The boy shrugged. "My mother was Japanese, and if I'm not mistaken, Uncle Daemon is half-Japanese on his father's side."
The adults didn't know what to say to this. Elena, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up. "Even though I really want our children to stay here with us, I think it will be a good experience for them."
"Elena!" exclaimed Daemon, looking at his wife in shock.
"Well, think about it," she said. "Our children will enter the mafia world one day, no matter how much we don't want them to; it's inevitable. Sending them there will give them a chance to grow up a bit, and learn to be a little independent. We can't always be there to protect them." By the time she finished talking, tears had come to her eyes.
"Mama," said Chrome, reaching towards her mother to try and comfort her.
"I'm okay, honey," she said, smiling through her tears.
There was a barely audible sigh from both the fathers before Alaude said, "Fine."
Shaking his head in defeat, Daemon elaborated. "This April, the three of you will transfer to Namimori-chuu as freshmen."
* Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm Canadian, and when I thought of romantic places where they could go for their honeymoons, this was the first place that popped into my head. I mean, it isn't called the honeymoon capital of the world for no reason, y'know.
SkyGem: Yay~ finally got this done! I was so close to finishing this last night, but before I could, the powers that be (aka my mother) came into my room and told me I had to go to sleep. Yeah, yeah, no need to laugh. My mother is really strict with bedtimes, especially since school started up again. Anyways, please don't forget to leave a review, ne? And I'll try my best to update tomorrow…or possibly sooner. *hint hint* (Not making any promises, thought.)
