"Mommy, can we have Tacos tonight?" Lucas turned to her. It was kind of a family tradition to have Mexican after beach day.

"That's kind of disrespectful young man-" Mateo chided, "-asking for Mexican when you are in Italy."

"But we always have Mexican after beach day!" The kids whined in unison. Mateo looked up at River and though they both suddenly felt extremely awkward after what he had said earlier, she copied the twin's sad pout which they had inherited from their mother, by the way and nodded.

Mateo looked taken aback for a moment and then sighed. "Tacos it is!" He finally declared, to which the kids cheered and hugged his waist.

"You make it sound like it's a bad thing." River rolled her eyes as her mom combed (read: tried to comb) out the knots on her wild springs.

"But I don't want him to do something just because he loves me." Alison sighed. "I want him to live his life too."

"Ally, Mia is going to be four next year and will be enrolled in preschool and he will go back to work." Jacqueline reasoned. "And it's not like he is not working; he freaking did the architecture for the new wing in the hospital. He is so good!"

River hadn't seen the wing because it was opened after she had left but she knew that her best friend would have done an amazing job with it because well, HE was amazing!

"Yeah but I still feel like I am holding him back." She sighed.

"This is why I don't get married!" Jacqueline declared as she rubbed lotion on to her face.

All the girls except Alessia were in the room. The kids were asleep, Sebastian had called it a day after all the sight-seeing and excessive shopping Alison did and was fast asleep too. Mateo and Alessia got a call and were in the office, Adam had gone off to somewhere again. He was always going somewhere, but was always at home too. It was like he had the time-turner from Harry Potter.

"No, you don't get married because you are dumb, much like my granddaughter." Lilith Johnson looked up from her phone, on which she was playing Candy Crush. They were all having girl time and this woman was playing games on her phone. And Alessia was missing out.

"Nanna, you married when you found the love of your life. We are waiting for ours." Jacqueline shrugged to which Lilith snorted obnoxiously.

"I don't know about you, honey but my granddaughter-" She looked at River pointedly. "-is busy running away from hers."

River mentally face-palmed. What was wrong with these people?

She was not running away. She was just processing the whole thing.

She agreed that she did have some squeezy feeling towards this guy before she had realized he was in the Mafia and the father of their kids but now, she was way preoccupied with the twins' safety and the danger looming around all of them to think about anything else!

"Good night people." The surgeon sang and got up from the foot of the bed. Her mother caressed her arm as she walked away and Alison hummed a "Good night."

Why are things so complicated?

River made a trip to the kids' room and kissed their foreheads and Mia's too before retiring to the room she was staying at - Mateo's room.

And as she walked in, Mateo put his phone aside and turned to her like he got caught doing something which he wasn't supposed to be doing.

"What?" River narrowed her eyes at him.

"Noth-"

"Don't even think of lying." River gave him her death glare. She could sense that something was definitely wrong.

He stared at he for a long moment, as if he was weighing something in his head and then he finally sighed and said, "Mona is dead."

River blinked. And blinked. And blinked.

She is dead?

"Like dead dead?" She asked dumbly. She had never met this woman but she had given her more stress and nightmares than any exam she had ever written.

"Yeah." His voice dropped and he looked down.

"And?" River pushed. His face told her that there was a twist to this tale. Obviously, he should be happy that she is dead right? This set things right, right?

"Her body was found in our ranch."
