(New York /05 : 45 PM)

"Leonardo wake up, it's time to go shopping for the triplets and your family is here already ." Amanda said slightly shaking me and I rolled over groaning.

" BAE !" she yelled before tugging at the covers and ripping them off of me.

" Yes mama I'm up." I mumbled before getting off the bed and walking towards the bathroom to shower.

After showering , I brushed my teeth and combed my hair before wrapping a towel around my waist and exited the bathroom.

" mama." I said walking towards the mother of my children and giving her a kiss.

" babe ! Go get dressed we're supposed to go grocery too." she said pecking my lips before continuing on making the bed.

" You look good by the way, I love the short hair on you ." I said playfully licking my lips while walking backwards to the closet.

" Leonardo stawwp ." she said before flashing me one of her dimple smile and I've learned that 'enkosi' meant thank you, if I was going to spend the rest of my life with Amanda then I had to learn her mother tongue and her culture and so do our children.

I winked at her before going into my closet to get dressed.

" Your mom said she doesn't mind looking after the kids while we're gone . So I guess it'll just be me and you." she said walking into my closet .

" Throw this on, there's a slight breeze outside." she said handing me a coat and I smiled taking it from her and putting it on.

" Thank you mama. " I said before giving her a kiss and taking her hand and we both left our room and went downstairs and Yeah ! Amanda moved in with me, it took a lot of convincing but she finally agreed at the end but of course she still kept her apartment.

" Here comes the parents !" Luciano said as we came down the stairs and I playfully dust my shoulders off.

" Lucy !" Amanda said with a excitement before letting go of my hand and running towards my brother making me frown.

" Amanda look, he's jealous. " Luciano said after hugging her and she laughed before walking away from us and going into the living room. Moments after Luciano cleared his throat and spoke.

" I'm so proud of you brother and I barely say this but I want you to know that I love you ." I raised my eyebrows at him. We looked at each other for a minute before bursting out laughing .

" That was weird, I think I prefer showing it to you rather than saying it ." he said and I laughed nudging him.

" I wAnT yOu tO kNoW tHaT i lOvE yOu ..." I mimicked him in a high pitch voice and we both died laughing.

" Forget I said anything, stupid. " he said before walking away from me towards the living room.

" Luciano ?! " I called out and he turned and looked at me.

" I love you brother. " I said with a faint smile, I don't think I would've survived half the shit I've been through if I didn't have Luciano by my side.

" I know." he said confidently and I rolled my eyes, I know where he got that from.

" I see you've been hanging around Amanda for way too long." I said nudging him on my way to the living room and he chuckled before following me.

" Don't worry sweety, they will be just fine ." my mom said reaching for Mariano and Amanda passed him to her .

" Okay but if they trouble you, don't hesitate to call us ." Amanda reassured by my mom waved her off.

" Your children are the calmest babies I've ever seen , they must have gotten that from you because they damn sure didn't get it from Leonardo. We'll manage just fine. " I rolled my eyes before walking towards Amanda and wrapping my arms around her .

" My father is exaggerating, I wasn't that bad . " I said and my mom scoffed making all of us laugh.

" Maybe I was a little bit bad . " I said and Amanda chuckled .

" We better go, thank you guys so much and we'll be back soon." Amanda said before kissing the kids goodbye and I just kissed Nikita goodbye and told Mariano and Junior that I'll see them later.

" Leonardo ! " Amanda exclaimed and I simply just shrugged.

" What ? We're late. " I said before dragging her out of the house to one of my cars parked in the driveway.

" I don't know why you're wearing that mask , nobody's going to recognize you. You're not that famous." Amanda said before pulling out of the driveway, she offered to drive because we were taking my new Audi Q3.

" I'm actually offended. " I said gasping dramatically and she laughed stopping at a red light.

" So what are we going to do about the nursery ? I love my kids but they need to move out and sleep on their own beds because daddy wants to work on mommy ." I said and she burst out laughing.

" You can go ahead and forget about that , I'm still hurting. " she said before looking left and right before crossing the road.

" That's temporary though. " I said with a grin and she scoffed .

" Leonardo shut up ! " she said playfully rolling her eyes.

" I was thinking we could give Nikita her own bedroom since she's the only girl and Mariano and Junior can share ." I said and Amanda straight faced me before focusing on the road again.

" Leonardo they are triplets."

" I know but I just want my princess to have her own fantasy bedroom and I was thinking we could paint the boy's bedroom black and red with chains hanging from the ceilin--" her laughter cut me off.

" Inoba unxilile ! Hayi zange ndayiva. " (You've got to be kidding me, I've never heard of such.) she said in a foreign language, calming down from her laughter .

" Oh my God you're so funny, Whew ! Let's go because we're here. " she said wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

" I was actually serious. " she turned her head and looked at me before chuckling.

" Leonardo let's just go please." she said before opening her door and getting out of the car. I got off and went around the car and we walked hand in hand into the mall.

" Let's do groceries first. " she said dragging me into Target.

" Grab a cart please . " she said before taking her phone out to look at the list she made of the things we needed .

" Your butt looks fatter and that's not me complaining. " I said while pushing the cart slowly behind her and she turned to look at me grin.

" let me guess, you know ? " I said rolling my eyes and she laughed before taking the cart from me.

" Grab 2 bags for Rocky and Roxy . " she said pointing at the dog food .

" I can't wait for them to come back and meet the babies, I just know that Nikita and Roxy are going to get along just fine. " I said putting the dog food into the cart .

" I bet . " she said with a faint smile before pushing the cart to another aisle.

" Ooo ! I've always wanted one of these . " I said when I saw a bunch of skateboards lined up on the aisle . I grabbed one and rode it down the aisle .

" Leonardo !" Amanda whisper-yelled at me and I chuckled before turning around and riding towards her.

" Get down , everyone is looking at us crazy ." she said.

" Okay but take a picture of me first ." I said passing my phone to her and she rolled her eyes before taking the phone from me.

" Pose then. " she said and I tilted my head looking at her for suggestions.

" Stand like this and look away, that makes you look tough but yet attractive. " she said positioning me, if people weren't looking at us crazy before then they definitely are now.

" I know das right ! Look how good it looks." she said showing me the picture .

" My turn, stand over there . " she said handing me the phone.

" I thought you didn't want to take pictures."

"Shut up and take the damn picture boy."
