Kicking some guy's ass would be my pleasure if it kept my kids safe. "But... dating Laura and Viola..." he trailed off. I raised an eyebrow. "Is there something wrong with them?" I asked. "I don't want to date both of them." he said. That caught me by surprise. "I don't think Bella meant you had to date them both at the same time. I don't even think she was dead set on either of them. We can be honest here: your mother is actually very homophobic. I am certain she just threw those names out because they are girls you are around. Being close to people tend to give you a nice opinion of them after all." I said seriously. "I don't hate them." he said firmly. I asked "Is there a reason you don't want to at least try dating one of them?" He sighed and looked away again. "I... I have someone that I like." he said, pink now rising to his cheeks. "Is it a boy?" I asked. That might cause some complications. If his mom was upset with Marco, she would be enraged by Rocco. His face snapped to mine. "No! It's a girl that I like." he said quickly. "Is she in your dance class?" He nodded. "Date her. Ask her out."
It was the best advice that I could give to him. He looked shocked. "But... she's not the right girl." he mumbled. I raised an eyebrow. "What does that mean?" I asked him to explain it to me. "Laura and Viola are like us. Annita is not. She has eyes and hair that is brown." He was referring to our ethnicity. Knowing Bella and Nicolò, it was very important to some people. "Listen up, Rocco. This is a conversation of men that stays between us." I said. He gulped and nodded. I showed him a picture of Daphne on my phone. "This is my wife. Does Daphne look like us?" I asked. He looked at the phone. Rocco was stunned as he shook his head. I then showed him Dante. "This is a picture of our son together. Does your brother look like us?" I asked. "His eye." he responded slowly. I nodded my head. "Date who you like. If anyone has a problem with it. I'll be there and I will tell them to stop complaining at you." I said as I took the phone back. Rocco and I then spent time with Carlo and Bianca. I told both of them what happened with Markos so that they could watch over Rocco. Bianca did not seem to get it.
Giving lessons on sympathy and empathy to Bianca was a little surreal. I did not mind doing it though. Anything to make Rocco and Marco's lives better. Marco still had 3 missions left to complete. Luckily, the whores had all that covered. They all had fetch quests for him. Angelo and Paolo were also made to go with him on the missions so that they could move along towards promotion as well. At the end, all 3 of them were ready for promotion. I have given both Angelo and Paolo 3 missions myself, so I also supported their promotion when Ronan brought it up. With this, it was finally time. My family had its second generation. Carlo, Marco and Rocco all had at least 10 completed missions. I was so proud of them. I was even more proud when Dante said he wanted to follow in my footsteps as well. That meant I had to find some work for him to do. He was my legitimate son and he had not done anything stupid in town. I could give him 10 simple jobs. Nobody was going to care about it. Dante was a good kid, but he was behind the others. I had to help. I wanted to promote all my children at once.
