The Salvatore Meet Baby Marius

As soon as they reach The Salvatore Road both Stella and Skylar feel slightly nervous and excited as they drove towards the mansion. As they pull up at the gate Stella was greeted by the security guard that was seating in his booth.

"Roll down the window," said the security guard in a flat tone.

Stella then rolls down her window and smile at the guard which makes him jump out from his seat and greet politely her.

"Shit, sorry Miss. We didn't expect you today and welcome home Miss" said the guard as he opens the gate and was about to use his walkie talkie but stopped by Stella.

"No worries Ty, do me a favour don't tell anyone about my arrival, thank you," said Stella before she drives up the front porch.

Stella then parked her rental car before she gets out of the car head over to the boot of the car and grabs Marius's stroller before she carries the baby car seat with Marius inside who was fast sleeping.

"Did you grab everything?" asked Stella to Skylar as she pushed their luggage.

"Yes, everything here" replies Skylar as she double-checks everything again.

"Okay then, let's go," said Stella in excitement.

Both Stella and Skylar walk to the main front door while baby Marius still sleeping soundly. They rang the bell and in a few minutes the door open, both of them was greeted by the maid who was surprised to see all of them.

"Oh my God! Miss Stella, Miss Skylar and baby Marius!" said the young maid loudly as she was shocked and happy to see them.

As soon as she said loudly, all of the other maid and security from inside and outside of the house quickly run over to them while her parents and brother slowly walkout from their room and head over to the front door.

"Oh my"

"Miss Stella?"

"Miss Skylar?"

"Who's baby is that?"

"I want to see"

"Move, I can't see"

"Miss Stella is all grow up"

"Miss Skylar is all grow up"

"I can't see the baby"

"Baby Marius is here?"

"Miss Stella come home?"

A series of question and statements coming from inside and outside of the house as both Stella and Skylar smile at each other while shaking their head at their attitude meanwhile with the commotion and whispering while the mini gathering in front of the door happens, Baby Marius stir up from his sleep and started to babbling.

"Oh ho, someone is awake," said Stella as she pushes the cover to reveal baby Marius who look at Stella with his big eye while he stopped his babble for a second before continuing to babble.

"It's okay my dear, I can carry them" reply Stella with a smile.

"Okay Miss, if you need anything please don't hesitate to call me," said the maid which earns her a nod from Stella before she walks away.

Stella, Skylar and Marius quickly head over to the sofa living room, as Stella put down her backpack and was about to grab Marius out from his stroller they can hear their mother's voice.

"Welcome back my daughters," said Catherine, Stella's mother as she was the first to arrive at the living room area.

"Mummy" reply both Stella and Skylar as they look at their mother who walks over to them.

"Skylar, my baby. You look beautiful as always" said Catherine as Skylar meet her mother halfway and they both hug.

"How are you? How's Lucian?" asked Catherine as they both walk over to Stella who putting Marius down on the sofa.

"I'm good and he's okay mummy" reply Skylar as they walk towards Stella and Marius.

"Stella my baby. You look beautiful as always" said Catherine again using the same words as she did to Skylar.

"My girls," said Giovanni, their father as he walks over to them and hugs both of them together.

"Pater~ (daddy~)," said both daughters as they hug their father.

"Where's my hug? I want hugs too from my sisters" said Gabriel as he smirks at them while standing behind his father.

"Jeez, the big baby wants some hug now," said Giovanni as he releases his hug and steps aside.

"Now, where's the actual baby" add Giovanni as soon as he sees Marius who was still trying to stand up all by himself while babbling.

"Frater~, (brother~)" said both Stella and Skylar as they both hug Gabriel at the same time.

"How are you two?" asked Gabriel as he patted both Stella and Skylar's head.

"Good" reply them bot unison.

As soon as they reply to their brother, Marius suddenly babbling and shrieking loudly while trying to stand up on his own but failed so he crawling towards Stella.

"He's coming," said Catherine as she follows Marius who was screaming a little and then stopped to seat while looking directly at his mother.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming, I'm coming" said Stella as she walks over to Marius who happily babbling.

As soon as Stella reach Marius, he happily asked to be picked up so Stella did what he wanted and pick him up with ease then walk over to the sofa together with Gabriel and Skylar.

She then places Marius on top of the sofa and talks to her family while baby Marius was dead set on getting down from the sofa in which he succeeds. Then he makes a great escape by crawling towards the television area.

"Attacus come here," said Stella in which makes Marius look at her mother and stopped at his track while having a small debate with himself before he proceeds to crawl back to his mother slowly.

"He is so cute!" said Gabriel in awe.

"And listen well but only to his mother" praised Skylar.

"He's the most adorable and well-mannered baby," said Stella proudly.

"Tell us how what had happened?" asked Catherine in a business tone catching everyone off guard as the mood suddenly turns from sweet to the business-like atmosphere.

"Darling, she can explain tomorrow," said Giovanni trying to calm his wife.

"It's okay pater (dad), I will explain everything," said Stella calmly.

Stella then tells them from the beginning from the flight incident to the kidnapping scene and to escaping Luciano's penthouse but she didn't tell them about the small things that involved Luciano's carrying the baby, who and what clan was after Marius family.

"So that's it. Oh, yea, Pater (dad) who is Luciano?" asked Stella pretending not to know anything.

"He's my friend's son who happens to be in Rome at that time," said Giovanni.

"Oh okay, and you two where did you go?" asked Stella as she looks at her mother and brother.

"Was with Skylar and her boyfriend" reply Gabriel.

"Anyway Lia, let us handle Marius case, we will help him to find a new adoptive family and who was after him okay," said Giovanni not asking but telling.

"No, Attacus is mine now. He's legally mine. I hope you all accept that and respect my decision" said Stella as she looks at her family who look at her with a blank expression.

"It's fine with me," said Gabriel the first to break the silence.

"I'm always okay with her decision," said Skylar.

"Okay, I'm okay with that since you are at the age of marriage and have kids so why not break that tradition and have kids first then marriage," said Catherine.

"We need to talk," said Giovanni.

"In the morning pater (dad), I'm tired, my baby is tired and Skylar too. We have a long ride so let's talk this out tomorrow" said Stella as she stands up and picks Marius up.

"Good night everyone" adds Stella before she heads up to her bed without waiting for a response.

Stella then walks up to her room and places Marius in the middle of the bed before she unzipped her luggage to grab some clean clothes for both her and Marius. She then carries Marius to the toilet, freshen up, change and both mother-son duo get ready to sleep.
