The coffee was on and Iris was sitting at the table. I said my good mornings and went to check him. He was wet and awake, I quickly got some warm water and wiped him down then placed more ointment on his behind. I dressed him then checked the others, I think I am going to be busy this morning all of them were wet except Lukas who slept on. I took Luca out to Iris and she hugged him his head nestled into her shoulder while I went to do the other two. They were restless because they couldn't see their brother, so I hurried to get them ready. I put them on the floor and they ran out to find their brother who had gone back to sleep. I took him and put him on the floor and the other two turned the tv on. "Big night Antonio." "Yes Iris three wet nappies, I guess they are worried about him also." "What are you going to do about Italy?" "I don't know, if I go I will get to see Lily, if I don't I have no idea when I will go back." "You should go this time and let it be, I know you get homesick, but I am sure gran will go with you she still has to finalize her inheritance and see the Vatican people. It's probably best you go with her." "I had forgotten that Iris, now I have to find a way to go." And I do. "The pool is being delivered today I won't be into work until after twelve I can maybe go and talk to Mike after I get there." "I doubt with gran with you there will be any problems, would you like me to come with you?" "If I go, you go, end of." "Oh okay." She grinned and then Gianni came out and distracted me, his underwear was a bit floppy today and his hammer was swinging. I kissed him then made him some coffee, he went and cuddled his sons and then went to find Lukas who was now awake. He took him to the toilet and then he talked to him about the pool arriving. That woke him up fully and he was eager to go see if there were any workmen around so he could ask questions, so they went for a walk and found no one. Gran and grandad arrived she played with the babies for a while then grandad sat with a coffee with them to watch his cartoons. She asked me twenty questions about Lily, I had some answers but not all then I remembered something and turned the computer on. An email from Magdalena was there with many photos attached, so Gianni and gran sat and went through them, I will do it later on. The boys arrived and sat on either side of Iris, she blushed but she must be pretty used to them by now, Leon held her hand as he greeted her then he rubbed it on his crotch, I could see Iris was getting the royal treatment. "Stop it," Gran called over her shoulder. "Sorry, our gran." Iris moaned. "Antonio, are you going to Italy?" She asked. "I want to talk to Dr. Mike first, and will do that today sometime." "Okay, but I am sure Luca will be fine by the time you leave." "Gran if you go with us to Italy you can fix up all your loose ends while your there." "I was thinking that Antonio, when are you planning to leave Gianni?' "In a few days gran, I have staff and orders to organize then I will be free to go and see this little one." "We will discuss it all later on." Breakfast was great and as gran washed up I looked at the photos, a mop of dark curly hair and the pinkest lips told me she is going to be without a doubt her father's daughter. Gianni makes beautiful babies. "It's coming Lukas lets go watch." Gianni just got off the phone. "It's early." "They didn't know what time the helicopter was available but it is on the way." I rang Gino to bring Sam up and he arrived with Anna, there is a spare scooter for him to use and he screamed at the kids to hurry up. The boys jumped up and down and then raced out the front to get on their bikes. We all walked around the back and I pulled the chairs and lounges back so they had plenty of seats to watch the event from afar. Gianni and Gino talked to the workmen that had now arrived and the boys had their phones out to film it. Maxie and Tommaso came up and were just as excited to watch the event as we were. The kids screamed they were that excited, and one of the workmen was looking to the east. "It's coming." He pointed. "Watch kids over that way." Well, the big event happened as the helicopter with its cargo appeared in the distance, the noise was deafening when it got closer and the kids yelled and screamed but I couldn't hear them just watch the joy on their faces. It swayed a bit as the workman got it into position then the cable was dropped and the big bird flew off again. Gianni and Gino with the boys helped to hold it in its place while the workmen bolted it to the steel girders. It was over within twenty minutes and the kids had to be kept away from it until it was made safe, and the finishing touches were done. They will start to fill it with water this afternoon, no swimming yet and the kids understood they had to wait a few more days. Back inside they played for a bit then Anna and Sam had to go to work with the kids and we had to get Lukas ready for kindy, the boys had armed him with a phone and transferred the little movie over to it so he can show his mates. Gran and grandad are dropping him off today and she insisted he has work to do at her place tomorrow, they were behind with their orders. I dressed him coolly like and he raced out the door to go see him some friends. We piled in the van and Gianni drove us to work. Sabine was already there, she was planning to leave for Italy as soon as possible, she had to hold her newest grandchild and couldn't wait a moment longer. She said Tony didn't have a choice he was at home canceling appointments and then he will book their flight. Gianni looked at me and I told him to go with them, as much as I wanted to go it will disrupt Lukas's kindy and the babies routine, I was making excuses all of a sudden. He begged me to go with him, but I was stubborn. When push came to shove, in the end, I relented. Gianni's threat of cutting off my sex life eventually got to me. It will only be for about ten days, I can do it, but I fear it will be a busy time while we are there. So many people to see, so little time. The drinks were on the house today and Iris got into the party mood by handing them out to every one that passed by the cafe. More and more photos had arrived on the work computer and Gianni Sabine and the boys sat to look through them all. I heard crying laughing and back-slapping coming from the tea room. Almost at once, Sabine was shopping for clothes for the baby, she had bought a stack of jumpsuits, more than the baby could use but she insisted on doing something for her. As it turned out Sabine and Tony left for Italy that same night, she was so eager to get there. The party at the cafe had been full-on and Iris was packed into the van singing her head off, she will go to bed early again, she may as well move in with us, she spends all her spare time in our apartment anyway. Leon and Carlos had been doing a bit of filming today and my big scene with Fanny up against the bathroom wall was filmed at the cafe, I must admit with all that sparkly stuff on his dress I rather got a bit carried away. The next day was chaotic, I had spoken to Mike he didn't see any problems with Luca but he will check him out before we leave. "Are we going to go to the winery Gianni?" "I do not think so Antonio, I want to spend some time with my daughter, but mama has ordered everyone to Roma for a family party including Ramone and Menowin, there will be a lot of people coming." "So many?" "Yes Antonio, this is a big deal for the Cartasso, our boys missed out on one, so we will make sure little Lily gets the best. And everyone wants to see you, Antonio, they are worried you are leaving me for your lover." "I wonder how they would know that?" He shrugged his broad shoulders. "I do not know, it is an eternal mystery." Then he sniggered. Angelo and Bella were alerted and we decided we had enough staff to run the cafe, Gran and grandad will come to look after the babies, so she said. She also said this would be her last trip home, she has some stuff to do with Roberto, then it will be all over. "Are you going to go to the Vatican?" "Yes Antonio, I cannot ignore them if I am in town, and you must come with me for support for I fear this old grandmother will faint." The most amazing thing that happened while all the initial fuss was going on around us was Brent rang me to congratulate us. He wanted to come around tonight to discuss something with Gianni and me. How he knew about the baby was beyond me, but maybe the boys had told them, they did go there to film Conners dead body scenes. We did some more celebrating when we got home and Brent and Conner arrived moments later. "Have you booked flights yet?" Conner asked. "No, I was going to get the boys onto it tonight, why?" "Can we come?" He said. "Of course you can theres no need to ask just come with us." "It will be good to get away from the media for a bit, and I would love to see Italy again." Brent smiled. "By the way Antonio, and Gianni, we will use our private plane, no airfares required," Conner announced. "What?" Gianni screamed this time. "It's a big big one and has plenty of beds and seating. The food is awesome and so are the pilots." Brent said as he winked at me. "There will be a lot of us." "Doesn't matter as I said the plane is big." Conner took a glass. "Accommodation, we have to see about that." "All organized Antonio, leave it all to us," Brent said. "How?" "The grandfathers own a big villa in Rome, it has plenty of rooms." "I reckon there will be about twenty of us." I smiled. "Probably twenty-four but there is room, it's not a small villa they bought it years ago when everything was cheap." "We must pay," Gianni said. "No you must not pay, and we won't accept gifts either, let us do this for you all, and we need to holiday with our friends." Conner was adamant. "All this generosity Mr. Conners will still not get you a speaking part on the Iris Wilson show." "I know Leon, I much prefer to be silent anyway." He smiled at him. "Reverse psychology does not work on me and my Carlos thank you, but maybe two lines in our movie before you get necked." "Okay, two lines then." Con smiled. We fed the babies then they wanted to go and see Sam. Now to see what Iris is doing, I haven't seen her since we got home. I poked my head into her bedroom and there she was all tucked up asleep talking to herself. Closing the door behind me I chuckled then grabbed a baby and started downstairs. Conner was telling me he has only seen the villa a couple of times when he was small, and when he was doing concerts in Rome, he said it had plenty of bedrooms and the grandfathers have alerted the housekeeper to put on more staff for us. Screaming and hugging were the order of the day when the babies saw Sam, the balls were produced and the games began. We sat on our steps to watch the passing walkers, maybe to get a hello in now and then to some familiar faces. "That show was hilarious the other night Antonio, you were so funny." Gino started it off, "Well I had some help from Leon, he was being a prick as usual." I looked at Leon he made a sad face. I added. "But a nice prick Gino." Having spoken to Gianni about Gino and Anna coming with us he agreed that he will get him to reschedule meetings and Pat can look after the orders that come through, we agreed to send Pat and Fred on a holiday when we get back to town. "Are you taking Iris?" Alice asked. "Yes, if we can get her nose out of the wine bottle she will be coming," I said. "Gino Anna and Sammy are coming also, the kids need their playmate with them." "No, I have too much to do Antonio." Gino stared at me, I know he would love to be included. "Already organized Gino, you are coming just start rescheduling your appointments." Gianni smiled. "What do you think my gorgeous wife?" "Hell yeah, I'm in for a road trip, or should I say an air trip." She smiled broadly. "So that's it, and thank you so much, Conner and Brent, anything you need just let us know," I said. "Alls well Antonio, it's a good excuse to get away for a while, Leon have you got time to make the first serial?" "Yes Brent, we have most of it in the cans and all we have to do is reshoot a little." He smiled at me. "Oh, you want Fanny's and my scene done again?" "No, we want Fanny's and Mr. Conner's scene done." He laughed and added. "You will have words Mr. Conners." "Thank God for that," Conner chuckled. "Just a few moans maybe." Leon laughed. We have trouble again tonight, Curtis fell over this time and scraped his knee, Lukas was getting upset because they have become best friends. Alice pulled out a kiddy plaster and put it on the scrape to make it better and Lukas talked to him, he didn't want his daddies tonight just Lukas. Jack, on the other hand, played rolling down the steps with my three, we had to settle them down and Sam was already tuckered out he found a good soft spot on his mum's ample chest. "So we had better do a head count then," Gianni said. "I count ten adults and five kids. Alice, you and Federico are coming?" I said. "No Antonio, he's too tired to travel anymore and I am quite happy to look after things but I will miss my little mates." "Are you sure?" "Definitely, not this time." "Okay, there will be eight adults and five kids from our side." "Sounds about right Antonio, and there will be more we will take one or two mates of Teds so he has someone to hang with, plus the grandad's, Grant and Dr. Mike, maybe our friends Sam and Andy will come with us this time," Brent answered. "Oh good Dr. Mike will be with us I feel better now." And I was relieved. "Do you have room?" I added. "Plenty Antonio, I will do the flight attendant job." He grinned at Conner. "Another lifetime away?" I whispered. "Yes, it will be good to be serving my boys again." "We will hire one Brent." Conner looked at him. "No Con it's like riding a bike you never forget, and anyway John will be with us to help." "Well Phil and Dave will need Tan to come also and Grant will be the relief pilot." "The numbers are rising Conner maybe you can stay home and play dead." We laughed because Conner got up and pretended he was being shot. "What sort of plane is it?" I needed to know. "A big one." Brent laughed. "A seven eighty-seven Antonio, seats around three hundred, or it did before it was reconfigured." "What the hell do you need that for?" "We do a lot of freight overseas, the three we have are constantly going off somewhere overseas and there are the four smaller local ones, don't worry the hull will be full of deliveries to Europe we will only take up half the plane that we keep for special passengers who like to fly in style, or are diplomatic or celebrity customers." He winked. Later on, he told me that Conner was in the middle of having the planes reconfigured to take more passengers, they are thinking about starting up a public airline. "Business must be good," I said. "It is, Go Ship is a global company now it makes sense they get more into the airline business." The kids arrived a little late and they argued for ages that they didn't want to go with us. They reasoned that the business had to be supervised and they were doing the renovations also. No amount of coercion from us all would budge them. I decided to give them a holiday for a housewarming present maybe they can go with Pat and Frank, maybe not. "We can sit with Phil and Dave for a while Antonio, maybe one of them will become your newest lover." Brent was on a roll tonight. "So when do we leave?" Carlos asked. "In four days, is that okay with everyone?" Conner looked around and we all said yes. "Good I will get the ball rolling." He told us. I had a lot to do and although I can get all the nappies and bottles from a store in Rome I still had to pack extras for the trip, so one large suitcase was put aside just for the babies' requirements. I left the cafe up to Gianni, the boys fussed around and they told me they had the first episode in the can but didn't offer to show it to me. Gran fussed so much on the second day I had to go there to calm her down, she was eager to see the new arrival, but I suspect she was in a panic about going to the Vatican. I had to reassure her daily that I would be accompanying her, at one stage she said they may try to kidnap her, I laughed she slapped me. Anna had many questions like would she be able to buy milk for Sam and what sort of clothes she should pack. I told her two good outfits, some day clothes, and she can buy whatever else she needs locally, I reminded her that they do have shops over there it's not all for the tourists. Sabine and Tony had already left, she will get the first cuddle and rightly so, and she isn't staying at the villa. She and Tony have booked a suite at a top hotel, Ramone, and Matteo with partners will be staying at the same hotel I think. We will go to the winery for a night or two and I am now looking forward to showing the boys to Gianni's mum by the lake, they are growing so fast. While all this was happening I managed to sit at the computer to look through the many photos Magdalena or her girlfriend Mary had sent through. I forwarded them on to family members which generated a hoard of emails from them, mostly what time do we land. The third night there was a call from Sabine, she was holding the little bubba in her arms, so we got a close-up view of her sleeping. Magdalena smiled and said hello and she was looking forward to seeing us all. I could tell Sabine was jet-lagged and after two hours she said her goodnights and our party had already started. Four in the bed and a bum in my face, my hangover wasn't that bad so I moved Gianni off me and went to the toilet. I then went to check on the kids, they were all still asleep so I made coffee and sat on the balcony. I have found in the past few weeks I haven't been asked to do anything much, I think Gianni is handling all the works at the house and I know he has done the cafe staff rosters and added some part-timers, the only thing I have been allowed to do is pack. The pool is full and before we left we managed to have a family swim, the babies will miss it, but they were assured there will be pools, or beaches as they call them, wherever they stay in Italy. In the meantime I was packing, we will need suits and the babies need some good clothes but the rest is almost done. Brent said there will be an extra van going to the airport with all our luggage in it so I presume gran will have hers by the front door ready for the collection. I have spoken to Nina and my warehouse manageress and all is good there an extra lady in my shop has been organized if needed, so really I don't need to do a thing. There was a gentle kiss on the back of my neck and I was handed Luca to be changed while Gianni went to check the others. Lukas had wet himself and we fixed him up quick smart because he has cartoons to watch. He knows he is going overseas in a big plane and he is so excited, his brothers, not so much, but when they see it they may remember their last trip or they may thoroughly enjoy themselves, now they are a bit older. The big day came and we headed for the airport, we will meet at a private check-in, come customs booth, then will be transported to the plane. The kids were all excited by now and when they saw the others they screamed and started hugging, Sam Jack and Curtis were already jumping up and down wanting to get going. Brent wasn't there but Conner was, with Grant and Dr. Mike and their son Brody, he was about Ted's age maybe a little younger, I asked him where Brent was, he said he had a surprise for them when we board. It took us ages to get through customs our hand baggage was whisked away to be x-rayed and placed on board. I took Lukas and the babies to a window and showed them the planes on the tarmac, they jumped up and down with excitement. A bus delivered us to the plane and we carried the kids up the staircase as they wowed at the huge beast that will fly us to Italy. Three very good looking pilots greeted us and we were introduced by Conner, grandfathers John and Ray showed us to our seats and the kids started almost immediately, they ran up and down the aisle. Over the loudspeaker, we heard Brent's voice welcoming us aboard and he stepped out of the galley in his uniform. He told us he would be our flight attendant for this trip and if there was anything we needed were to ask Conner, he laughed, we all laughed. His babies ran to him and he picked them up and Teddy wasn't far behind them. "Okay we have set up six sleeping capsules for the babies in the next compartment, and there are also beds for you all, for when you get tired. I will be serving snacks as soon as we are airborne and there's plenty of cartoon dvd's in the galley. For taking off please hold the kids on your knees and I have extended the safety belts for that purpose. Are you ready to fly kids?" A resounding yes was yelled by everyone even gran. Gino and Anna were just as excited now, they had accepted they must come with us and couldn't wait to see Sam's reaction to the flight. The pilots introduced themselves Phil, Dave, and Tan and they said the flight will be a smooth one without any foreseen turbulence. When airborne the kids will be welcomed in the cockpit to look out the front, but in the meantime would we all make sure we are buckled up. John and Brent checked the older kids and made sure the babies were secured, then the engines roared and we started moving. It was like being in a picture theatre when the baddie gets caught the older two went mental, as Anna held Sam close, he had got a small shock at the sudden movement and loud engine noise. Of course, mine went out in sympathy and the moaning started, we distracted them by talking softly and when we were thrown back in our seats as we headed up the runway things got a little chaotic for a moment. Ted and Brody wowed and I knew we were almost instantly airborne when the wheels thumped back into place. It only took minutes for us to head into the western sky and reach our flight altitude. The babies had calmed down and the seat belt light went off. I took mine off and released little Gianni he slipped down then headed Sams way with the other two. I heard laughing so they were finally okay, A hand on my shoulder and a whispered voice welcomed me aboard. "Antonio, If we put the babies on the beds in the next compartment I will put a cartoon on for them but we must keep them buckled up, John and Ray have offered to help me serve the meals do you think gran and grandad will watch the kids?" "Yes, of course they will, and probably Anna." I smiled. "I will ask then, and we will get them settled, they will sleep on and off to our destination so grab some sleep when you can. Lunch is supplied by the Hilton kitchen today so it will be very nice." "Thank you, for everything." "You are most welcome." I got up and started herding kids to the next section, they were put on the beds as a big screen tv appeared from somewhere under the flooring, then a cartoon started, Lukas was nowhere to be seen Gianni had him, so I went to look while Anna and gran settled the boys in. "They are in the flight deck Antonio, you can go in, just knock," Brent whispered. I went up front and knocked, then the door swung open. I saw Gianni with Lukas on his knees and an asian man called Tan to my left, the pilots were bloody stunning and they both turned around and gave me their million-dollar smiles. I said hello and Lukas took over. "Look daddy look" He was pointing to all those lit-up dials and buttons, something little fingers love to play with. "Be careful son, don't touch anything." "I won't daddy." He looked disappointed until Gianni pulled him up on his legs and placed his face in the window so he could look outside. "Wow!!" he screamed. I took some photos and left them in Tan's capable hands. I wondered when the door locked behind me if they were maybe starting to get undressed. "They do Antonio, not on this flight but sometimes in the smaller local one they have a bit of the loving. This plane is too big for them to fool around they have to have ears and eyes everywhere." "Thank you I will try to put some very dirty thoughts out of my head then." "I have them also, I don't know any of our friends who don't have the same urges." "Is Dave the one that you saved?" He bristled and a cloud came over his face but he answered. "Yes, the worst time of my life was when I had to do that to him." "Sorry, enough said I won't ask you any more stuff, clearly your not over it." "I can't seem to be able to move on from that day, but it has lessened over time." He smiled and said. "Coffee or wine?" "Coffee thanks." I saw that the boys already had a bottle open and Iris was helping herself to it, I smiled at her and she saluted me, another early night for her I think. Grant and Mike were lovely guys, so I sat opposite them to have my coffee. I leaned over and asked. "So what are you guys planning to do in Rome, apart from hanging out with us?" "We want to show Brody around and maybe see if there's a soccer game locally Ted and him can join in on. Nothing special Antonio I have organized security for Conner and Brent so I am off the hook this trip, it all depends on what Mike has in mind, but I would like to island-hop to Greece at some stage." He smiled at Mike who groaned. Gino had gone to watch cartoons with Anna, and my coffee was superb as Brent sat with us and we talked about Rome and what we were going to do on their holiday. "You have to keep one night free to come with us to the manor, you would love it a seventeenth-century building fully restored, it's okay there are hundreds of rooms." I smiled. "Is that where the Cartasso winery is?" Mike said. "Yes, it's just over the hill from the house in a valley of vines." "Good I would like to see it." "There's also a very big lake you might like to try your boating skills out on." "Umm the possibilities are endless." Brent moaned. "I met Gianni on the shore he was with baby Lukas and the rest I will tell you later." "You fucked him," Grant said. "No, he fucked me because he had to." "I see, don't stop there tell us more." "Well it was like this, his brother had just passed away and he had told Gianni he had to make me feel better, so he did one day by the lake." "Very sad, his brother?' "Yes, I kind of fell in love with his brother when he came to Melbourne to do a wine event. Then he went home and sadly he passed away. I went over for the funeral and Gianni avoided me, it's another long story I will tell you all later." "Oh no you don't Antonio Cartasso." Brent stared at me. "Well the boys had arrived in Melbourne to finish Lucas work and as you know they are both rather out there, so they would get me drunk and make little porn type movies of them both simulating to screw me, no holds barred. Unbeknown to me they had sent them to Luca, and Gianni who was sleeping with his brother for company, Gianni fell in love with me without even meeting me. I didn't know this until after he had fucked me at the lake, he followed me home and bobs your uncle, here we are." "Oh my, that is a long story any more juicy bits?" "Plenty and I am sure you all have much the same stories also." "I picked Conner up in the Alexander gardens he had just been bashed by a couple of thugs, so I took him home to fix him up. That was back in the day when I was a nurse trying to make ends meet." Grant started giggling and Mike was slapping his leg. "Don't say it." "I teased Mike like crazy, it wasn't until I showed him my fine ass he relented and here we are, and very happy." "That's a dull story Grant, no juicy parts?" "Plenty, but big mouth here will tell the world if I say anymore." He pointed to Brent. "Time for a wine?" Brent said rather indignantly. "Yes." It was a girly catch up and some filthy language was used until Leon came by and said they could hear everything we were saying, and he would prefer it if his Carlos didn't have to listen to all that filthy talk. The bottle was opened and we giggled our way through it. Gianni and Lukas came out and he grabbed one for himself, and Brent went to get some juice for Lukas. As if on cue gran came down the aisle and grabbed our boy. "You are missing your cartoons baby." He started running towards the back. "Bye Lukas have fun," I called out, I don't think he heard me. "What was all the laughing about?" Gianni asked. "We were picking straws on who we were going to swap husbands with tonight." I smiled, that got me a slap. "If there is any picking I will be the one to do it, Antonio you sleep with Leon and Carlos tonight, so there." I put on a sad face. "And you?" "I am in the cockpit looking after three very nice bums." He laughed I slapped him. "Like the one at the lake?" Grant said. "Yes that one, he doesn't tire me as yet, so I may not rethink my bed partner for this flight." He laughed his ass off and I was looking forward to going to bed. Donations to Nifty are always welcomed
