"You want to do what?!" Mike said while laughing incredulously.
"You heard what I said" Vanessa replied defensive.
"You want to take in some foreign kid from Eves school why" Mike asked confused. At that point Mandy and Eve walked in fighting over something. "Whoa woah what are you fighting over" Mike demanded while silently egging them on.
"Eve took my makeup and refused to give it back" Mandy said while struggling with Eve.
"Come on didn't you already do this Eve" Vanessa said disappointed with her daughters' antics. She turned to Mike and gestured for him to break them apart. Mike stood up and broke them apart.
"Girls clam down alright Eve give Mandy back her makeup" Mike said sternly but winked at Eve when Vanessa and Many weren't looking.
"So, who's this kid you want to live here mom" Eve said after she let go of Mandy.
Mandy said excitedly "Oh mom that's great feeding and housing the poor and all that."
"He isn't homeless Mandy" Eve deadpanned then she looked at Vanessa and said "You're thinking taking him in do you know why his last family kicked him out he won't tell anyone."
"Whoa you didn't say anything about him being kicked out he could be a criminal for all we know" Mike said thinking he got Vanessa in a corner when he heard the doorbell. Vanessa went to get it quickly in order to avoid more questioning. She opened and let the person in.
"Who is it Vanessa" Mike called from the kitchen.
"It's our newest family member" Vanessa called happily.
"WHAT" Mike quickly came out of the kitchen with Eve and Mandy and saw the transfer student for the first time. He was only five feet he looked to be very skinny and he wasn't wearing any color that wasn't black or white. "Why did you even ask me if you had already done it" Mike said annoyed.
"Because I wanted to make you feel like you had a choice now I'm going to show Nico here around that's how you pronounce it right" Vanessa said while looking at Nico.
Nico glowered and mumbled out "Yes" clearly wanting to add something but he refrained himself. He followed Vanessa silently while she chattered about how much she loves pasta.
"That is the transfer student you have a crush on Eve I'm disappointed" Mandy said unimpressed.
"MANDY" Eve yelled back.
"I'm sorry you have a crush on that kid he looks like a handheld fan could knock him down" Mike said surprised.
"He's smart and kind alright get off my back" Eve said uncomfortable as she always is with romantic conversations. Once she had finished talking the others came downstairs this time it was Nico who was chattering but it was in Italian.
'You do know Vanessa doesn't speak Italian right kid" Mike said while trying to hold back laughter.
"I know she wanted to know how to say a bunch of words in Italian because they sound better that way apparently" Nico said with a smile on his face looking more comfortable then he looked when he walked in. Then he turned and saw Eve for the first time "Oh hi Eve right I have you in homeroom and art."
Eve did not blush and while she was not blushing she punched him on his arm awkwardly "Ha yea I guess you are never really noticed you." Nico seemed to deflate at the words but shrugged them off.
"Where is the rest of your stuff so we can put it in your room" Mike said looking around for the luggage.
"Oh, this is it I don't carry much" Nico said while indicting his large duffel-bag he had on his back.
'Well why don't you go unpack your bag while I get the pasta ready" Vanessa said excitedly and without another word left for the kitchen. Nico grimaced but didn't say a word and just walked up the stairs towards his temporary room.
"We are going to be having a lot of pasta aren't we" Mike said while also grimacing. Both of the girls thought about it and also grimaced. The pasta wasn't that bad in the end though so don't worry.
"What did you think of my pasta Nico was it just like home" Vanessa asked while they were all lounging in the living room.
"Um well-" Nico started and saw Vanessa's face "It was um nice" He finished awkwardly while drawing into himself clearly not comfortable with the attention.
"Oh, come on tell me what you really think I promise I won't get upset I want to get better" Vanessa said encouragingly.
"Well at home the pasta isn't pre-made we make it from scratch and my family has a secret recipe of spices that make the pasta taste heavenly also our tomato sauce has a different set of spices and is also homemade" Nico said in one breath then he looked away from Vanessa.
"Oh well I guess I can't compete with old family recipes but no problem I will make you the best American food you've ever tasted" Vanessa proclaimed. Nico smiled at the words and relaxed.
"Maybe I could make you my family's recipe sometime" Nico said quietly after a few moments of silence. Vanessa beamed at those words while Mike groaned. Nico looked over at Eve to see what she thought but she was too busy fantasizing about Nico to notice the real Nico look at her. Nico seemed sad but quickly put of a smile when Vanessa turned to him.
