Power, Passion, Betrayal, It's All in the Family
The old man's home
Spring came quicker then I thought it would. The weather was getting nicer and it seemed like life was moving on. If it would only move on for myself I’d feel a little better. Today was the day my godfather was coming home from the hospital. Julia and I were very excited and got ourselves dressed up nicely to se him. I was just finishing up my hair when Julia walked in.
“Come on Adriana we need to get going we don’t want to be late. You know how Sonny gets when we’re late.”
“Yes I know,” I replied putting the brush down and walking over to her, “let’s go.”
When we arrived at the house everyone was there. Including Sandra and Theresa with their children. Fredo walked over to us and welcomed us.
“They should be bringing Pop home any minute now,” he stated eagerly. As soon as he finished that sentence the ambulance pulled into the mall.
The orderlies carried him upstairs in his stretcher, the whole house went quiet as we al watched on. I couldn’t help but notice how much better he looked and knew it was only time before he would be 100% better. I couldn’t help but smile a little bit. Julia and I were the first ones to see him; he smiled at us lovingly. As soon as the two of us walked out of his bedroom door Fredo and Tom stopped us.
“Adriana you’ll be happy to know we’re working on ways to bring Mike back,” Tom said.
“That’s great,” I responded a smile forming on my lips.
“About time,” Julia added we looked at her, “what I just like seeing my cousin happy that’s all.”
“The only thing is I’ll be leaving soon, I’m heading to Las Vegas to learn the casino business,” Fredo said next.
“That’s fantastic Fredo,” Julia replied.
“Be safe,” I added in there.
“I will, you worry too much Adriana,” he said.
“I know Fredo but I have a right to worry about you guys with this war going on.”
“Hopefully it’ll be over soon,” Sonny chipped in walking over to us and putting an arm on Julia and my shoulder, “come on you two we need to discuss this with Pop.”
The two of us then headed outside and watched the children play. They were playing ball one missed and it rolled to the gatehouse where a young button man threw it back. I smiled then looked at Julia.
“Have you thought about having kids someday?”
“Adriana what kind of question is that?” She retorted.
“I don’t know it would be nice though.”
“Oh Adriana,” she replied breathlessly, I laughed, “we’re staying for supper right?”
“You think Carmella’s going to let us go without something to eat?” I asked.
“You’re right, sometimes that woman can be scary,” at this we both laughed.
