" You won't understand." There was so many  emotions in her whisper but fear was the most prominent one. 

Daniel took a deep breath, taking her hand softly in his, getting on his knees in front of her who was sitting on the leather chair of Adriano. 

" Then make, sweetheart." His plea was dipped in a layer of softness. The endearment he had added did nothing to ease her heart but increased her heartbeat drastically.

Placing a hand on her hip she walked towards the two kids wrestling and rolling each other on the grass. " Damiano, let go of him this instant." Edna chewed out the words at the boy which was sitting on the stomach of the younger one, he stilled like a statue hearing her." Up!" Edna instructed in a harsh voice, when his blue eyes looked innocently at her. " Mama!" The boy whisphered softly reminding her of Adriano. He was just like his father.

" What makes you think that I don't have a backup plan too, Donatello?" there was a mocking edge to Adriano's tone as cocked his head to the side.
