Begin:

Gilbert visited Ludwig today, carrying great news. That morning, their father had been doing better. He was strong enough to walk and even do some work! Madeline had met Mr. Beilschmidt, and the older man took a liking to her. When Gilbert visited, he wasn't expecting the news that Ludwig had.

"What!? So, you let a girl sleep next to you, zhinking zat she vas a boy, und you found out by her...month zing? Westley, are you gay or not?!" Gilbert looked at his younger brother.

"Gilbert, I'm not gay. We-we decided to remain friends." At this, Gilbert face palmed himself.

"Bruder...I zink zat I'm going to smack you. Friends? Bah! West, vhen a badass chick like zat walks in your life, und you think zat she's a friend, you have to be either gay or stupid." Gilbert gave Ludwig the 'I cannot believe you' look.

Ludwig blushed out of slight embarrassment.

"Vell, how are ve going to be a couple? She's in zere for eighteen years, I'm in here for two. Vattie wants grandchildren from you und me both." Little bit of blood came from Ludwig's nose as he thought Feliciana giving birth to his kids. His face was red.

"Vell, what are ve going to do? It's expensive as hell to get you both out...unless..." Gilbert's eyes, gleamed.

"Bruder, vhat are you thinking?" Ludwig deadpanned.

"It's going to take some time, Vest, but I zink zat ve can get you two out of zere!"

"Ze hell?" Ludwig looked at his older brother in confusion.

"Vell, nobody's going to do anyzing about zat bastard judge, und zere aren't much police around here..."

"Bruder..."

"Vest, vhat if anozer innocent comes here? Ze bastard owes you, Feli, und some lot of others freedom." The usually cocky smirk was replaced by seriousness that Ludwig had never thought to see on his older brother's face again. Knowing Gilbert, Ludwig gave in.

"You better be safe, dammit." He muttered.

"Kesese! I vill, Vest, I vill!" Gilbert then left, waving goodbye. Before he left completely, he shouted.

"Oh, und West? Please name one of your und Feli's kids after ze awesome me! KESESE!"

Ludwig face palmed, blushing.

…...

Romulus Vargas made it from Italy, crossing through that devil of a forest with his Mafia, seething. First his second grandchild got a murder pinned on her, and secondly his first grandchild got shot. Luckily he hired Antonio, he seemed to be trustworthy over his third grandchild. Feliciana's trial wasn't that good at all, it sucked. Because of that bastard judge.

Romulus felt the gun in his hand. It must have been his rival, because no one would hurt his family like that bastard did. He was here, in the city. Romulus knew it. Right now he was going to see his grandchildren, he felt a smile on his lips.

He heard of Ludwig Beilschmidt protecting his middle grandchild. Ludwig was safe, and so was his older brother. He hoped Mr. Beilschmidt was okay.

…...

"Lovi! LOVI! Guess who's here?!" Antonio cried happily from the living room. Great, who could it be? Lovina walked into the room...

"Nonno? What in the hell happened to your face?" She didn't wait for an answer as she hugged him tight. Her grandfather chuckled as he ruffled Lovina's hair.

"Dear, it was the usual."

Lovina fake glared at her grandfather. "You're going to get killed, one of these days." She whispered.

"Lovina, have some faith in me. I want you to come with me, along with Marcello and Antonio to the prison and see Feliciana."

"Yay!" Marcello, who was in the living room, shouted.

"We're going to see big sister!"

"I'm your big sister." Lovina fake glared. Marcello shrugged.

"I meant the younger big sister."

…...

"So, you two..."

"Nonno! No!" She shook her head frantically. Luckily Ludwig was lifting weights or doing something else.

"Good." Lovina said, arms crossed.

"He knows my secret, ve."

"How?" Lovina growled.

"Lovina," Romulus gave her a look.

"Fine. Even if that German bastard is in your favor, Nonno, he sure ain't in mine." She huffed and crossed her arms. Antonio put a hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay, Lovi! I bet Feliciana can handle herself, you Ludwig and Mr. Vargas would go great lengths to protect her!" He gave her one of his best smiles.

She scowled and blushed.

"Antonio, you may call me 'Romulus,'. Feliciana, I heard about him rescuing you...and treat your knife wound, is this true?"

"Ve! Without Ludwig, I don't know what I'd do!" She smiled.

"Good. He has my favor to hug you. No kiss-"

"We're friends, Nonno!" Feliciana protested, blushing a little.

"Mm Hm. Poor dude, being put in the 'friend zone'." Marcello shook his head. Romulus rolled his eyes.

"Why I'm here partly, is to say...we miss you. Even Antonio, and he isn't family yet. If something does happen between you and that boy, he has my blessing." Romulus turned and winked at Lovina and Antonio.

"You have my blessings, too."

"CHIGI! No way in hell!" Lovina glared at the smiling (if he were any happier, his face would burst into flames) Spaniard.

"Mi tomate! I know you like me!" He hugged her.

"Bastard! Again, I don't know you! I have cazzo amnesia!" She growled. Feliciana giggled.

"Alright, now I'm going to tell you something...there's a rival here of mine. I don't know how long he's been in Bentalia, but I bet he's the same one who shot Lovina and pinned the murder on Feliciana. He's trying to kill all of you three so that he'll weaken me. I know only one safe place for all of you, and I have to get permission from the Warden, Mr. Karpusi."

"Wait, isn't that the guy who was dating Sakura?" Lovina asked.

Feliciana looked at her sister.

"How do you know Sakura-chan? She's Chun's younger half-sister from Japan!"

"Chun Yan and that giant Russian guy come by often to see me and order something from the cafe. They talked about...about a way to get all of the innocents out of here. I don't know much about it. I do know is that Chun admires you, and Ivan admires Chun, and they talk a lot. Sakura may be the key to helping us grant Nonno's plan. What is it, anyway?"

"Lovina and Antonio are going to this prison. Except Marcello, he's too young. I'll take care of him."

"Wait, what?! What about our cafe?!" Lovina looked at her grandfather as if he grew a second head.

"That'll be easy. I have a Mafia, remember?"

"Wait, so you brought them into into Bentalia?" Marcello asked.

"Wait, you have a Mafia?" Antonio tilted his head. Lovina face palmed.

"Si. Nobody messes with my family, especially my grandchildren." Romulus chuckled.

"Romulus, sir," Antonio started.

"Si?"

"I would like to find this bastard as quickly as possible."

"Antonio? Did you just cuss?" Lovina looked flabbergasted.

"Why?" Romulus asked.

"Because they shot Lovina in the head, and she can't remember me. Lovina. Could've. Died."

Lovina blushed a great shade of red.

"Grazi, bastard. Now, let's talk to Mr. Karpusi!" She changed the subject, blushing. Romulus laughed.

…...

Yeah! Can you imagine all of Romulus's Mafia gang from Italy working in a cafe? They'd have those sunglasses on and handguns hidden in their jackets, acting all cool and stuff! Okay, not really. You'll never guess who it is!
