A/N: Thank you to The Nobody Prince (Yep, I was shocked as well when I wrote it. I just found it appropriate in the way Mia acted towards him unlike she did with other guys. Thank you for your kind review) and Emoen (Yup, I had to use that title. It just made sense to me. Yeah, I like the thought of first love, and I perceived Mia as the type to go for the first love kind of thing) for the reviews. You guys are the greatest! I am blessed to have people liking this story. Well, there is a bonus extra in this chapter as well. Warning! There are some sexual elements in it. I'm not sure if there is any in the real chapter, so please do not read if you are sensitive to the smallest bit of reference of such content. There is also some language in this too. Thank you and have fun reading this chapter! I don't think it is enough to rate it as M. But if it is, please tell me. Reviews would be lovely, but it is not necessary.

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Pavi and Luigi were the only ones in the quiet living room. Everyone was quite busy with their own agendas. Lina was a bit busy teaching Nate with self-defense outside in the front. Mia had completely immersed herself in her work, so she wouldn't think about anymore unnecessary thoughts and memories. Shilo and Graverobber were busy with the children like good parents that they are. Of course, Graverobber continued to rebel against being considered as the "Daddy" though he was rather having fun spending time with Shilo and the children (even if he was in denial at first). Graverobber actually acted like a child really. He even fought with Ryan for the electric blue crayon to use for his art. Graverobber was actually a good artist; the portrait was easily recognized to represent Shilo. Even though he was good, he was far from Tom's range in artistry, which Tom happened to make a perfectly good portrait of Emma happily drawing. Graverobber couldn't deny the boy's talent, and so patted the boy's shoulder for a job well done. Tom seemed rather satisfied himself and felt rather proud for being patted on the back for a good job by Graverobber. Shilo couldn't help but smile at the sight of the two. They truly looked like a father and child to her. It was then Shilo couldn't help but admit the family was nearing into completion. The only factors left to make it complete all depend on Mia and Lina. And of course, Shilo wonders if the Largo brothers would be the ones chosen to complete the whole family picture.

Even though Pavi and Luigi were sitting next to each other in the living room, they were at war in their own thoughts. It all came down to their feelings and their duties. It was especially shocking when their thoughts were similar. They were fighting within their minds until they both couldn't take it anymore. The brothers took this time to look at each other, hoping the other had answers. They were deeply reluctant with their jobs now when they found themselves enjoying their time with the people inside the Wallace household, especially when it came to the single adult ladies.

"The Pavi is in a predicament, brother. I think… the Pavi has taken a liking to the scary bella," Pavi admitted. Luigi growled, not at all having the urge to tease him when he was in the same state as him.

"Does it look like I fucking care?" Luigi scowled quietly for only his brother to hear.

"You have taken a liking to the other bella too, brother?" Pavi pointed out. Luigi's eyes widened and became speechless for a few seconds before waving his brother off.

"I don't like four-eyes. I just find her interesting," Luigi corrected him. Pavi gave a slight grin, knowing well that his brother is in denial. "Four-eyes seem vaguely familiar for some reason, but I can't put my finger on it."

"Familiar, you say?" Pavi questioned, now curious.

"Especially her fucking eyes. She reminds me of that fucking kid I met at GeneCo. The first time I met the kid was when I was twenty, and I've seen her a few times sitting in the lobby of GeneCo before she suddenly disappeared two years later," Luigi admitted, remembering the young Mia from back then.

"What was her name, brother?" Pavi asked, seemingly more interested in the story.

"Like I fucking know. The brat never told me. Telling me it was confidential or some shit," Luigi scowled before realizing he was conversing with Pavi. Now, that was a shocker. "Why the fuck do you want to know?"

"Because brother never usually converses with the Pavi without trying to kill the Pavi just as the Pavi never usually converses with Brother without trying to do the same," Pavi pointed out, having a rather valid point. Most of the time the brothers would always try to compete for GeneCo; they never did converse as calmly as they did now.

"And what about you, brother? I don't want to be the only fucking brother that talks about four-eyes. What about you and that crazy fucking woman?" Luigi asked. Pavi smiled sadly and shrugged.

"There is nothing to talk about, brother. Sometimes, the bella is close; and at other times, the bella is far away from the Pavi. The bella isn't as beautiful as some of the Genterns, but the Pavi can't help but find her beautiful. The bella's scars seem even more beautiful to the Pavi," Pavi explained, making Luigi seem rather empathetic with his brother.

"You've got it fucking bad, brother. I have never seen you this fucking flustered before, and you fucking haven't lusted for a while either," Luigi pointed out. Pavi groaned knowing his brother was right.

"Brother, what should we do?" Pavi asked. He felt his stomach churning horribly after thinking about the consequences of betraying Amber or betraying Shilo Wallace and the people in the Wallace household. He wasn't the only one to feel that way. Luigi also had a hard time deciding what to do.

"I fucking don't know," Luigi said truthfully, causing Pavi's shoulders to droop.

By that time, Lina and Nate entered inside the house. Lina instructed him to take a shower first before she did. Nate nodded and left right away to take a shower so Lina could take hers. She shook her head and smiled at Nate's polite behavior.

"That boy, he's nothing like anybody I've met before," Lina thought.

She started walking into the living room to see the brothers sitting beside each other with contemplating looks on their faces. Finding it rather strange to see them that way, she carefully started creeping. They never noticed her entering or creeping up behind them. Lina smirked and found herself behind the couch they were sitting on. She slowly put her hands on Pavi's shoulders before yelling "boo". This startled both brothers, making them jump on their seats. Lina laughed at their scared expressions. Pavi immediately felt relaxed when he realized it was Lina but started to pout at her prank. Luigi almost yelled out curses but mumbled instead about threatening to stab her. And to add to the outcome, there was quite a big gap between the brothers from the scare. Lina smiled, jumped over, and landed on the couch between the brothers. Pavi smiled when he noticed Lina was starting to be her jovial self again.

Lina started relaxing her shoulders before she laid her head on Pavi's shoulder.

"Let me rest on your shoulder for a bit, will you?" Lina asked.

Pavi suddenly blushed for the first time and when words couldn't come out, he nodded. Even if he said "no", she had already become unconscious before he even answered. Luigi scowled quietly and started becoming jealous. Mia would never rest on his shoulder like Lina did to Pavi.

Pavi looked at his brother pleadingly for him to leave. And as if Luigi understood, he snarled one last time before leaving into the kitchen to think. It was by then Mia was already inside making tea. Mia needed to get away from her room, so she made tea to relax her. She even had a book in hand to read. She turned around when she heard the kitchen door open to see Luigi. She immediately turned away and found herself battling against her mind. She was starting to lose her cool, which was rather rare to happen. Mia mentally cursed herself and started to calm herself. Luigi, on the other hand, found himself surprised to see Mia inside. He was rather speechless for a moment until he found this as a good opportunity to converse with the quiet Mia. But then again, he knew it was highly unlikely there would be a conversation between them.

"What are you doing here?" Luigi asked, sounding quite harsh though it was not supposed to sound that way. After being harsh most of his life, he cursed himself for getting used to sounding the way he does.

"I need some time away from my room. And you, Mr. Largo?" Mia asked. Luigi frowned at being called "mister". He wondered how it would sound if she called him Luigi.

"Call me, Luigi," he said and found out how demanding he sounded. Casual was never Luigi's forte. Mia stared at him for a moment before she smiled and nodded.

"All right, Luigi," Mia said quietly, making Luigi barely miss it. Luigi's eyes widened and found him smiling like a child being rewarded. He was truly grateful for having good working ears. "Would you like some tea?"

"Sure," he immediately answered. He was more of a coffee person; but heck, he might like tea if she makes it.

Mia looked over at him strangely and smiled. He was caught off guard from such a simple smile. It was rather "angelic" if he had to describe it in one word. But of course, no words can make him describe the feeling when he saw it. He wondered if it was Cupid's work fooling with everyone in the Wallace household because today was like a love festival all around for the adults.

Mia sat across from him before she took out her book to read. Luigi stared at her, not realizing he was doing so. It was when Mia took her attention away from her book to look at him did he realize he was staring for far too long. He mentally cursed himself for being an idiot.

"Is there something wrong, Luigi?" Mia asked. Luigi looked away for a bit before looking at her again. He could feel the heat rushing to his face. Guess calling him by a first name basis was not a good idea.

"Of course, I'm fucking all right," Luigi answered, laughing awkwardly afterwards. Mia stared at him as if something was wrong with him, making Luigi mentally curse himself once more. Darn his lack of composure!

Mia sighed and then said, "If you say so, Luigi. But if something is wrong, please do not hesitate to tell me."

It was then the kettle was making a whistling noise, interrupting the awkwardness between them. Luigi let out a breath of relief. Luigi watched her back as she poured hot water inside a teapot. He could smell the aroma rushing into his nose. It smelled nice, almost relaxing him. Mia turned around while she held a tray consisting of the teapot and two teacups with two saucers underneath them. There was also a sugar bowl to add sugar if Luigi wanted. And of course, there were two small spoons to stir the sugar in the tea. She carefully set it down and poured tea for the both of them. Luigi found how amazing she looked in serving the tea. If he didn't know any better, she looked like she was doing a commercial.

"Here is your tea, Luigi," Mia told him while she carefully set the tea cup in front of him with a spoon on the side to add sugar.

She then placed her own tea cup and added two spoonful of sugar into her tea and started stirring. A smile had been placed on her lips as she allowed the nice aroma fill her nose. She blew on her tea and started sipping, finding herself closing her eyes to feel the warm liquid on her tongue and to her throat. Tea had always been her relaxing element when she was doing too much thinking. Luigi almost spurted out his tea when he saw her relax. He wondered why everything she did was so unnaturally angelic today.

It didn't occur to him until now that she was a woman unlike any other. Today, he noticed how her skin was fair and soft. He wanted so much to touch it, to know how it feels against his rough hands. He wanted to know how those soft and plump pink lips felt against his own. He normally would not feel this way, but he lusted for the woman before him. Unlike any woman before, he did not just lust for her, but he felt her perfect to be with a classy (?) guy like himself. Overall, he not only wanted her, he wanted all of her. And of course, like any guy who was in the heat, his lower area had responded as well.

Meanwhile, Shilo and Graverobber had found themselves lying on the same bed inside the children's room from exhaustion. The children continued to play because of their continuous burst of energy. Shilo and Graverobber looked at each other for a moment and started laughing. They were having too much fun with the children that they didn't realize how much energy was drained until it was too late. Shilo could feel Graverobber's hand holding hers and she smiled at the affectionate gesture. She turned to him and kissed him on the lips. He responded like any male would do when their girlfriends kissed them. And so, the two adults were having their little make-out session while the children played. Thankfully, the children were too into the games to realize the "parents" were being intimate with each other.

When they parted from the kiss, Shilo couldn't help to voice out her opinion.

"Wow."

Graverobber laughed for a bit before he gave a big grin.

"How about we continue this in your room?" Graverobber recommended. Shilo blushed and agreed to his recommendation. The children didn't mind when the two adults left. When they left, Ryan suddenly asked a question to the older children, who were Tom and Emma in this case. Amy was on the side coloring in her notebook, and Jake (the youngest) was playing with the action figures Ryan made.

"Are they making babies?" Ryan asked. Tom and Emma looked at each other for a moment before Emma gave a wide smile.

"Yay, we are going to have a baby brother," Emma rejoiced, jumping and down.

Tom sighed and found himself blushing. There were things children should not know, and Tom felt that this was one of the sorts of things children their age should not know. And of course, this explanation of "making babies" was all due to Graverobber explaining to them when Ryan asked him why the two were rushing out of the children's room. Thankfully, Shilo did not know Graverobber told them about this little explanation or else Shilo would have his head for it. It was fortunate these children did not know specifically what these adults do to make babies. But sadly, children were curious beings. And the next time Jake saw Graverobber, he was going to ask him how they were going to make babies.

And most likely, Shilo will wring his neck if she ever found out what he taught the children behind her back. And when Shilo was done with him, Lina and Mia will give him their punishment for teaching the children unnecessary things. It should help him learn his lesson.

Graverobber, what have you gotten yourself into?

Extra Bonus: When Shilo was Sick, Graverobber Had a Dream

(Note: Refer to chapter list: 9. Chapter 8 when Graverobber was holding Shilo in his sleep while she had a nightmare)

Shilo was all smiles for some odd reason. Just as she woke up in morning, she felt unbelievably great. Breakfast seemed endless when everyone woke up to eat breakfast. She was so energetic that she even played with the children. Almost everyone was amazed at the change of attitude in Shilo. Graverobber seemed rather turned on with the new Shilo before him. If he could, he would have attacked her right then and there. But of course, the children were in the way of his fun.

"Guess she finally got some good sleep," Lina suddenly said behind Graverobber's left shoulder. Graverobber jumped a bit at her sudden appearance. Graverobber wondered how her footsteps could be so quiet.

"How long has it been since we last saw her like this? A year ago?" Mia asked on the other side of Graverobber's shoulder. Graverobber once again jumped from surprise. Sometimes, he wonders if they were like hidden shadows of sorts with their quiet footsteps.

Lina looked thoughtfully and nodded.

"Yeah, around there," Lina answered before she suddenly slapped Graverobber's shoulder with the back of her hand. "What did you do to her to make her this… happy?"

Graverobber looked over at her with a questioning glance as if not knowing what she meant.

"He doesn't know, Lina," Mia said before she slapped him as well. Graverobber looked over at Mia with a startling look. He understood Lina hitting him but Mia as well? There was something going on.

"What is going on?" Graverobber asked.

Mia merely smiled and said in an almost whisper, "You slept with Shilo."

"Huh?" Graverobber asked before he felt a sudden jolt.

He woke up with the sun shining against his eyes. He groaned and woke up to see Shilo by his side. He sat up with no shirt on. His eyes widened in shock. He looked under the covers immediately and his mouth gaped open. He looked over to Shilo. He was in conflict as to whether or not to look under the covers again and see if she was naked as well. Graverobber had basically done something he had no recollection of. What the heck is going on? When he noticed Shilo stirring, he felt his whole body freeze. Shilo slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes rather cutely. She smiled when she saw Graverobber and started to snuggle against him. He could feel his lower area pulsating at the closeness. He didn't need to look under the sheets anymore when he felt cool skin against his. Shilo was going to kill him soon if she was going to continue with this naked body contact.

"Graverobber…" Shilo purred seductively, "I want you."

Not being able to hold it any longer, Graverobber held her close to him.

And before he knew it, Graverobber opened his eyes to see himself holding a fully clothed Shilo. He was surprised at what he had done and wondered why he did that. And luckily, he had no recollection of the latter dream he just had. All he remembered was Shilo smiling and Lina and Mia telling him things he can't really remember. When he went to the bathroom, he was surprised to find a heavy burden that needed to be released.
