Cristoforo saw the two of them sitting down, and he walked over to Donatella's crib and watched the sleeping baby. He turned to look at Giovanni and Serafina and he said "She is beautiful. Just like...." Cristoforo swallowed and forced the words out "Like her mother." Cristoforo didn't think Serafina was ugly, no quite the opposite, he just felt that she wasn't living up to the DiLeonardo name. He didn't know why he felt this way, she was never remotely rude to him, well unless he was rude first.

Serafina heard his hesitation and her eyes narrowed slightly. What was this guys problem with her? Why was it so hard to be nice.
"Thank you." She said again, he voice somewhat cold.

Giovanni heard Cristoforo's hesitation too, and he gently released Serafina's hand and he shot up and asked quietly "Chris, what the fuck is your problem with Sera? Huh? What has she ever done to you? She always tries to be nice to you, and what this is how you treat her? She didn't have to let you come here today, but she did." Giovanni waited for an anwser.

Cristoforo lost his smile and then he replied venomously, the truth pouring out of him "MY problem, is that this little Grillo puttana in my opinion will never be a DiLeonardo. That name means respect, honor, and courage. THIS little whore has none. Gio, your my blood and I love you, but please, kick this bitch to the curb. Get yourself an honorable Sicilian woman, not one who isn't worthy to lick the dirt off of the shoes of the DiLeonardos!"
*Ouch. That's rather mean.

Serafinas jaw dropped and she started to get up out of the bed. "Get out of here!" She started to shout. She wouldnt have him disrespect her like that in front of her child, even if the child was just a baby...
Hearing the shout, Donatella woke up and started to cry and Serafina went to pick her up and hold her, her eyes tearing up. "Gio, make him leave!"

Giovanni bit his lip while he listened to Cristoforo, his anger rising. When Serafina told him to make him leave, Giovanni rushed towards Cristoforo and getting in his face, said quietly "Get the hell out of here Chris. Are you drunk?" Giovanni asked this because Cristoforo smelled strongly of vodka and perhaps even some Scotch. Regardless, Giovanni continued to speak "Chris, just leave. NOW!"

When the question was asked if he was drunk, Cristoforo laughed and replied "Just a little Gio. I needed it to see her." He motioned with his head towards Serafina and then said "You want me to go Gio? Fine. I'll go. You have your precious little slut. Call me later Gio." and with that Cristoforo strode from the room laughing.
*Ouch again.

Crying, Serafina cuddled Donatella and sat down on the bed. She didnt know what she'd done to deserve that kind of treatment, but it hurt her more than anything, especially since he'd called her a slut just after she'd had a child for her husband!
She glared at Gio suddenly, "Why would you just sit there and let him talk to me like that?!"

"Why would you just sit there and let him talk to me like that?!" Giovanni frowned and said "Sera, he doesn't mean any of that. Well...maybe he does. But you know Cristoforo, never take anything he says seriously. Every time he loses a case he lashes out at whoever. Regardless" Giovanni sat down next to her "I'm sorry Sera."

Serafina just frowned and then kissed Donatellas forehead again, the baby having gone back to sleep.
"I wonder if you would make as many excuses for me as you do for your buisness associates."
She heard the boys approach since their voices were so excited. Angelo reached the room first holding a big balloon from the gift store that said Its a girl!
Then GianCarlo with some flowers, followed by the nanny.
Serafina smiled at them, "Come here boys. There's someone you should meet..."

Giovanni frowned and said "Sera, look he was out of order saying all that shit to you. Although, I doubt the hospital would take too kindly to a shouting match or even a fucking fight in here. I-" Giovanni was going to say more but he was cut off as his sons entered, and he smiled, and placed his hand gently on Serafina's shoulder.

Serafina ignored Gios voice and hands, showing her sons the baby girl who slept in her arms. GianCarlo stayed back, just watching the baby with interest, but instantly Angelo was obsessed with how little she was.
"Where did she come from!?" He asked.
"You're so dumb. She came from moms stomach!" GianCarlo said folding his arms. He always picked on his little brother who was so much more sensitive than he.
"But how did she get in there?" Angelo asked his mom, ignoring GianCarlo.
"Duh! Dad put her there!" GianCarlo said.
Serafina frowned, "GianCarlo! Stop!" She wasnt sure if he was serious or if he knew what he was even saying. In any case it scared her to death to think her seven year old knew what sex might be...

Giovanni opened his mouth to tell GianCarlo to be quiet, but Serafina beat him to it. Giovanni smiled and kissed Serafina on the cheek, and whispered "Where do the kids learn all this from?"

Serafina passed the baby off to the nanny so she could hold her and talk with the boys while she still kissed Giovanni.
"I dont know." She whispered back, still kissing him. "Probably at school..."

Giovanni kissed her back, and said laughing "Damn school." then he smiled and said "Sera you are so beautiful right now. Hell your always beautiful. You know what, if you want to and feeling up to it, how about a day out. Just you, me, Donatella, and the boys if you want. What do you say?"
