pride untamed
It was hard not to laugh at that. It was hard to imagine someone who couldn't take care of themselves who wasn't a child. Even back in hell, she had always lived around people who could take care of themselves - some who just didn't want to because they were to tired but people who could take care of themselves none the less.
"I can only imagine how the first couple years when you began taking care of him." The young woman giggled, trying to at least be respectful of it. She put her hands up in a sense of mock defense. "I will say nothing to Enzo about what you've said about him. But I am glad to hear that he is getting better.
"Look at it this way. Whether or not he lives in the house itself, he will still be living with a bunch of rowdy kids. So he'll have to grow up a little faster with us around... But moving on. What should the kids start calling you? If you're adopting them, your first name isn't going to work. Officer and Genovese are rather formal... And just, everything. Them calling you dad is out of the question."
