Recall: Sicily Incident

"Evening everyone" greets Stella as she walks towards the dining table while a happy Marius in his baby walker.

"Evening" replied everyone as they smile at both Stella and Marius before they begin their dinner.

"Here, eat some vegetables," said Catherine as she passed the vegetable plate to her daughter.

Their dinner went smoothly like a typical family but a small bicker from Salvatore's sibling as they tease each other.

"Oh yea, I'll sly back to New York tomorrow afternoon," said Stella as she scoops the remaining rice from her plate and eats.

"Why?" asked Giovanni.

"Sissy, stay for a bit," said Gabriel.

"You hardly ever at home and now you wanted to go back to New York quickly, why?" asked Catherine as she wipes her mouth with a napkin.

"Because of my work and I have to help my university professor before the graduation ceremony apparently there's a lot of things to do before our ceremony which none of us knows until last day, where they inform us about it" answer Stella in a convincing tone while it was all a big fat lie.

"That's weird when I was your age. I was never this busy nor helping out as it was the university's job to get it done" said Gabriel as he takes a bite of his food.

"Yours are different from mine and so does your university. Frater (brother) by now you should know that not every university work the same way" said Stella as she wipes Marius's mouth with a napkin.

"Whatever you say but I know the main reasons" reply, Gabriel, as he smirks evilly at Stella.

"Oh, yea? And what is it?" asked Stella as she narrows her eyes towards her brother before raising her left eyebrow and smile a little.

"It's obvious isn't it that you are trying to run away from someone" reply Gabriel as he smiles his victorious smile.

"Urghh, this bull crap again? It's an old story frater (brother), don't you try to make something that is nothing into a forced topic" said Stella as she shakes her head in disapproved manner while role her eyes as she exhales loudly in a small protest style.

"What is it?" asked Giovanni as he leans forward.

"What is the reason?" asked Catherine as she takes off Marius bib.

"There's nothing, it's just a makeup reasons by Gab. He loves to make things up" said Stella as she shakes her head and stands up.

She then picks Marius up from the high chair and put him on her lap before she proceeds on trying to get the gas out from Marius as she slowly and gently pats while rub Marius's back and in a few motions he releases a couple of burps.

"What I want to say is that she's trying to run away from Luciano," said Gabriel straightforward.

"Seriously frater (brother), seriously," said Stella in a bored tone.

"Seriously Lia?" asked both Giovanni and Catherine in unison.

"Yes. I am, I just can't stand him or even near him" reply Stella truthfully.

"Why?" asked Catherine.

"That's because of what happens when we are at Sicily," said Stella as she looks at her brother who looks at his plate feeling guilty.

"Can we stop this and just ignore this? Let's just say I don't see eye to eye with him and please guys don't try to make us together. Yes, pater (father) and yes frater (brother). I know that the three of you are trying to match us together but it just won't work as I don't have a feeling for him and I already have a boyfriend back at the State so if possible please don't fiddle with my love life" lied Stella as she put Marius inside the baby walker.

"I want to know what happens at Sicily," asked Giovanni in a serious tone which makes Stella rolled her eyes and exhales.

"Nothing that I can't handle pater, so don't worry about it" add Stella as she flashes her small smile at her father.

"We know that but please don't keep things that happen to you or our precious grandson," said Catherine as she holds Stella's hand.

"Okay, I'll tell what when wrong in Sicily. Pater, mater do you remember on that day where frater (brother), Skylar, Marius and I went to Sicily together?" asked Stella as she looks at both of her parents who nodded their head.

"Everything was okay, I fall asleep in the aircraft, then we landed in Sicily airport but when I woke up and look around inside the aircraft searching for Marius he wasn't there so I instantly panic and asked where is he in which Skylar answer that he's with Gabriel. Who at that time was already at the hotel so we straight away head over to the hotel. There I overheard Skylar who was on the phone talking to Lucian that Luciano is there too so instantly I knew that something is bound to happen as I wasn't there to protect my son so I get anxious and angry and started to search for them who was by the beach area relaxing" said Stella as she looks at his brother before continuing, "I went over to them, I was angry at that time and I subconsciously slap both frater and Luciano then tell them off but as always unexpected things bound to happen as the woman who holds Marius suddenly pull out a pocket knife and it was inches apart from his neck".

Stella was holding her tears as she recalls the incident that makes her almost lost her baby. She then inhales and exhales before continue to tell her story.

"I was pissed, scared, angry, feel useless. Feeling that I never have in my life, feeling powerless at that moment as I beg the woman over and over again to drop her knife in which she wasn't willing to cooperate so my instinct took over as I charge onto her before I let go all of my anger and frustration on her. Luckily Marius was unharmed at that time. So yea, that's why I don't want Luciano near us, I know it's like a stupid reason but I still don't want to have any connection with him" said Stella as she clear her throat before taking a sip of her drinks.

"Where is that bitch?!" said Catherine with a gritted teeth.

"I will kill her," said Giovanni as he looks pissed.

"She's dead" reply, Gabriel.

"Courtesy of Luciano" added Gabriel.

"Good. She deserves it" said Stella as she looks at his son who was enjoying his time alone going from one end to another end as he happily pushes his baby walker.

"Anyway, let's forget about this and please stop forcing and helping him or even have the idea of trying to match us up as it will never happen," said Stella as she gathers her plate and head over to the kitchen area.

"We will try to refrain ourselves but you need to give us time to do so okay infantem puella (baby girl)?" said Catherine in her motherly tone while smiling sweetly at Stella who looks at her and nod before both Giovanni and Catherine leave the dining room.

"What time is your flight tomorrow?" asked Gabriel as he walks over to his sister who finished washing her plate.

"11 am and don't worry Uncle John will send us to the airport tomorrow," said Stella as she walks over to the living room.

"Marius baby, come here my baby boy," said Stella as Marius push his body forward and head over to his mother.

Stella then picks Marius up from the walker and place him on the sofa in which he wiggles his body and crawls towards his grandmother who happily plays with him.

*RING RING* *RING RING*

"Yes, Sky?" answer Stella.

"Hmm. Okay. Hmm, got it. No, I'll be back tomorrow. My flight is at 11 am will land there probably around 10 pm. Okay, sure. Yes, hmm. Okay. Bye" said Stella before she hangs up the call and continues to watch the film together with her parents and brother. A few minutes later, Marius yawning and begin to make a small fuss as he was sleepy.
