Proteggere Nietela Mia Famiglia
{Protecting my Family}
Sonny and Skye stood face to face, he had something to tell her. She knew that it wasn't about what happened in the alley today, something else must
have happened.
"Skye, the warehouse in Florida that Jason and I were suppose to meet at
today blew up."
"Oh my god, Sonny." Skye hugged him tightly, "You could have been in that
building". Skye started to sob.
Sonny ran his hands up and down his wife's back to try and sooth her, "But,
I wasn't and Jason wasn't, that's all that matters."
Skye pulled out of Sonny's embrace, her hands rested on his arms, "What do you mean that's all that matters? Sonny, I could have lost you today, the children could have lost their father. And Jason. Next time you may not be
as lucky, you might be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"That's not going to happen."
"How do you know that? Can you promise me?" Skye's voice became frantic
Sonny was silent, "You can't promise me that you're always going to be
safe, Sonny, and I don't want to be a widow with four small children."
"Skye, you knew what our lives were going to be like before we married."
"I know and the only thing that plays over and over in my mind is what
happened to Lilly and how that could just as easily happen again." She
choked out, trying to suppress her cries.
"It's different now, I can protect you and the children better."
Skye's emotions suddenly took a u-turn, her voice became louder, "Better? Sonny, what are you going to do when "better" isn't good enough anymore?
When I have to look my children in the eye and tell them their father's
dead and then explain to them why?"
"What do you want me to do? Give up the business?" Sonny struggled to keep
his voice under control.
"No, I would never ask you to do that, but we're not safe here in Italy."
"We're not going to be completely safe anywhere, but being here doesn't put
us at higher risk."
Skye was enraged, her tone of voice was harsh, "Do you think you're untouchable Sonny? Do you think they won't come after you, after us? You
kill, they kill and it's all about who get's the job done first."
"Skye, I'd give me life to protect my you and the children."
"Really, Sonny? That's good because that's what it's going to take, your
life in exchange for our children's freedom into the future, where they don't have to look over their shoulders, where they don't have to travel
with security guards and wonder how they're going to protect their
families."
"They won't have to." Sonny yelled
"I did not give birth to those three boys to make them your heirs. Heirs to
a business that will do nothing but kill them."
"I will never let my life touch my children. I want to give them a better life than I had growing up and when they're grown up I want them to make something of their lives. I don't want them to do what I do, to take over
my business."
"I know that eventually they'll discover what you do, but I will do
everything in my power to keep it from them as long as I can."
Sonny took a deep breath, "Skye, I know you want to keep our children safe,
but unless we live in a perfect world it's just not going to happen."
"Sonny, I'm sorry, it's just that sometimes, I get scared. Especially when
things happen like warehouses blowing up.
"Come here" Sonny held out his arms to Skye, "I know this is hard for you
right now."
"It hasn't always been this hard, but now that we have a daughter, a part of me is more protective. Not that I don't feel that way with the boys it's
just that it's different."
"I understand. I know that our life is often overwhelming and just when you
think things are getting better, everything goes down hill."
"We've managed to live this life for the past ten years and we've got another fifty years ahead of us to figure it out. So Don Michael how about
we do something to take our mind off all the violence and hate?"
"Well, what did you have in mind?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carly sat down the plate in front of her daughter, "Eat all your carrots
Zoe."
"I don't like them."
"W'll how about if we add a little ranch dressing."
"That might work."
Carly opened the fridge and grabbed the bottle on the door, "Here ya go."
she responded as she sat the bottle down on the table.
"Thank you, Mommy."
"You're welcomed sweetheart, now finish your lunch." Carly walked over to
the counter to begin preparing dinner.
Jason walked through the kitchen door and Zoe overflowed with excitement, "Daddy, Daddy." She jumped up from her chair and ran into Jason's awaiting
arms. "I missed you Daddy."
Jason rose to his feet with Zoe in his arms, "I haven't seen you in a whole
day. Have you been good for Mommy?"
"Yes, we played outside with Toni today and I got to hold Isabella."
"You did?"
"Yeah and tomorrow I'm going to Auntie Skye's."
Jason kissed his daughter on the cheek and lifted her to the ground,
"That's pretty exciting, why don't you go play with your brother."
"Okay, Daddy." Zoe left the room at lightening speed, anything to keep her
from eating the carrots. Even if it meant playing with Michael.
Jason walked over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist, he kissed
her neck softly, "I missed you."
Carly smiled, "Of course you did, but the question is, did I miss you?"
He turned Carly around to face him, "Well, did you?"
Before Carly could answer the phone rang, "I'm sorry, I have to take this
call."
Carly removed her arms from around his neck as he walked to the other side of the kitchen to answer the call. She waited impatiently and what was even more nerve racking was that he didn't give anything away as he was talking.
Carly stood silently in the middle of the kitchen, "Well, Jason are you
going to tell me what the call was about?"
"No."
"No?, why not?"
"Because I don't think you need to know."
"But, Sonny tells Skye, she doesn't always have to bug him to find out
what's going on."
"Skye doesn't ask, Sonny chooses to tell her and it's not like she doesn't
tell you what's going on."
"It's not the same."
"Carly, you know how my sister is if Sonny didn't tell her she'd get
herself in trouble trying to find out."
"That is a good point, but still."
Jason didn't feel like arguing with Carly, it just wasn't worth it. Instead
he walked over to her, grabbing her by the waist. Their lips were only
inches apart when he spoke, "Let's talk about something else?"
Carly ran her tongue over her bottom lip, "What did you have in mind?"
