Chapter Text
December 23rd, 3:13pm
Chance was still in the hospital, along with Mafioso, Soldier and Consigliere. They were helping Chance pack everything he had while his stay at the hospital.
Meanwhile Chance, he was still recovering, but he had energy to help around.
2 days ago, Mafioso and his men went shopping for baby stuff: diapers, toys, clothes, etc. But most importantly, a car seat.
Mafioso taught his men how to change diapers, how to feed a baby with a bottle, and how to calm it down. They understood quickly and swiftly, knowing what to do in a heartbeat.
"Got everything, dear?" Mafioso asked whilst holding the baby, still sound asleep. Chance nodded. "Yep."
The taller man put Ace in the small car seat, and carried him out of the room. The other 3 following behind.
They all walked to the car, put everything in the trunk, and drove back home. It was slightly annoying that the hospital is 30 minutes away from where their mansion was.
Surprisingly, they made it there in 20 minutes since Soldier drove very fast. Luckily, he didn't get pulled over by police.
At the mansion, everyone including Chance's friends, his family, and his mom were waiting in the living room. Mafioso's parents didn't come, mostly because he had cut contact with them, and didn't want to deal with them anymore.
Not because he needed a fresh start, but because they had made his life a living hell...
Flashback: 20 years ago
His parents were like interrogators, questioning him everytime and everyday.
If he went to the store, they would ask him why he went, when he left, where it was, and so on. But, the main question they've asked him multiple times is who he was with.
Mafioso's parents were known to be homophobic. So if he ever laid a finger on a guy, either at school or in public, they would ground him for almost an eternity, until he resigned with them.
His whole life as a child, was a disaster. He couldn't smile again, he wouldn't talk much unless he was asked a question, and finally, he couldn't even be near anyone without his parents interrogating him.
Fuck, he hated it so much. That's when he decided that it was enough, and left his parents as soon as he turned 18. They laughed it off, making fun of him thinking he was gonna be homeless.
But what they didn't know was that Mafioso's grandfather owned a MASSIVE casino, and since he was the only family member that had a true soul, aside his parents, he decided to inherit it.
Now, he owns a huge casino, completely filled with guests that wish and spend their life savings on simple gambling machines.
Still, he wasn't happy, this wasn't enough. His men tried everything they could, but no luck whatsoever.
That was until he met Chance. A cunning gambler who only gambles for a living. His lucky coin gives him a chance of luck (name drop ehehhehee) and a chance to win big.
He calls it Lady Luck; and apparently, she's always by his side. And of course, he won a fortune-the jackpot thanks to her.
Now, he was in debt, not to any casino owner, but to the Mafia.
What people didn't know was that Mafioso was a Mafia leader. He kills people for a living, but only to those who couldn't pay their debts; that including Chance.
After months and months of chasing his tail like cat and mice, he decided it was time to let it go.
Chance noticed this and wondered why he wasn't trying to kill him for the debt he owned. But what Chance didn't see was that Mafioso had been growing feelings for him.
He'd hide it everytime he saw Chance. But also, he'd tried to forget it.
He vaguely remembered how his parents treated him when he was young, and he didn't want to go through that again if he was ever seen with Chance.
But Chance caught on. He knew about the feelings, he knew about his past, he knew everything. But he didn't hate the boss.
Instead, he listened, he heard every word. And with that, he comforted Mafioso. He didn't yell, didn't interrogate him, and didn't shame him.
Eventually, they got closer together. Starting off as enemies, slowing working their way to become friends, and then finally, they got together.
Whilst being in a relationship, they've kissed, slept in the same bed, and even got intimate, to which they had no problem.
Mafioso still thought of his parents' words and actions. But, he had Chance. And he was the most loving and moronic person Mafioso could ever have.
Now, they're married and have a child. He was happy. Happy to finally have the life he's been wanting. And he was happy that his parents didn't have control over him anymore.
Thankfully..
Previous timeline
All 4 men entered through the doors, taking everything they had in the trunk into the mansion.
Once everyone saw Chance, they ran to him and the baby.
"Oh my god! He's so adorable!" Brighteyes squealed in excitement. Everyone was happy and silently screaming in joy.
"He's has Mafioso's bunny ears. Now that's cute" Guest 1337 commented. When Charlotte and Daisy saw Ace, they hugged each other, screaming; like actual screaming.
But that caused the baby to wake up from his slumber. "Heh, oops. Sorry, Chance" Daisy nervously laughed, holding Charlotte.
"It's alright. He has to eat anyway" Chance smiled and he took Ace out the car seat, holding him gently.
His ears drooped as he started to fall back asleep in his fathers arms. "He sounds adorable when he snores" 007n7 said, smiling.
"THAT'S GONNA BE MY COUSIN??" Coolkidd squealed as he jumped. "Yep. Hope you're happy kiddo" Chance grinned.
Coolkidd couldn't contain his happiness, and started jumping in joy.
While everyone was talking about Ace and everything, Mafioso zoned out.
The thought of his parents came back. The words spilled in his mind. That's when he got a call from an unknown number.
He excused himself and walked upstairs to their shared bedroom.
He closed the door, and answered the phone:
"Hello?" Mafioso asked as he answered.
There was silence on the other end, until a low, ragid voice came through.
"Son.."
Mafioso's heart felt like it stopped. That voice.. I know it. He thought.
"...Father?"
Then he heard a small chuckle from the other end. It sounded familiar. To his surprise, it was his mother's laugh.
"It's been 20 years, mi figlio"
His father responded with a low tone.
"How the fuck did you get my number?" He urged out, anger in his voice.
"Son, don't use that language towards me-" "You don't get to tell me what to do! You and mom made my life hell!"
Then, silence. Until his mother spoke up.
"Listen to your father, Don Sonnellino. Don't talk to him that way, you ungreatful little shit. Be happy that we called you"
At that point, Mafioso had enough. Both of his parents were on thin ice, and it was about to break.
"No mother, you listen to me. I'm not ungreatful. YOU are. Everything you did for me; everything you and my father did for me, was nothing. You both made me your prisoner"
Then he continued.
"I did so much for you and dad, thinking that I was successful, but I was wrong. You two ruined my fucking life. I'm not happy that you both called out of nowhere"
His father then spoke after being silent.
"Listen son, we just want to see our grandchild-" He was then cut off by a stern, loud laugh from Mafioso.
"That's it?! That's all you want? Just to see MY son? What about everything you did when I was young, huh?!" A choked sob caught his throat as he kept yelling onto the phone.
"I'm never showing you Ace. After all those years, growing up with such dreadful parents--I'm never letting you go near my son nor my husband. At. All"
The silence was loud. The only thing being heard were the leaves ruffling outside the window and small sniffles from Mafioso, whom started to silently cry.
"Don Sonnellino. Mi figlio, or should I call you a burden?" His mother replied. "You were always a disgrace to this family. You never had any good inside you"
"That's because you took that good away. I was happy, I felt like I had just won. But you and dad, you both decided that I shouldn't be happy and enjoy my life like a normal fucking human"
"I hope you both burn in hell. Don't ever talk to me again. And for the record, don't ever call me your son again.. I hate you both. Vorrei non aver mai avuto dei genitori orribili come voi due.."
Then, Mafioso hung up the call and threw this phone on the bed. He was frustrated and angry, but also sad.
He thought his parents would care for him, appreciate him, love him. But he thought wrong.
The sobbing started. Mafioso placed his hands on his face, slowly muffling his cries, then sat on the bed.
He was trembling, he couldn't take it.
Then he laid down on the bed, curling himself on his side as he continued crying. I'm a horrible son... He thought.
The sobbing continued for a while..
Chance realized that it has been 10 minutes since Mafioso left to take that phone call. He got concerned, but also worried.
So he handed Guest his baby, told him that he was gonna check on Mafioso, and left upstairs.
While walking down the hallway, he heard faint crying. He walked faster towards the sound, and it was coming from his and Mafioso's room.
He peeked inside, only to find his husband laying in bed, crying his eyes out.
"Mafi! What happened?" He asked, climbing on the bed next to Mafioso.
"My.. parents called.." He whimpered, crying harder. Chance couldn't see his face; the black fedora covering only his eyes.
Chance knew Mafioso's parents were bad news. So hearing this made his skin crawl.
He brought his hand to Mafioso's cheek, rubbing the tears away with his thumb.
Mafioso's hand went to Chance's, holding it.
"It's okay, dear. I'm here" The smaller man whispered.
"Lay..down" And so, Chance did. Now, he's cuddling with his husband.
Chance got the opportunity to take off the fedora, now revealing Mafioso's bloodshot eyes, glassy from crying.
"I'm sorry, Chance" "Don't apologize, my love" He continued to hug the crying man.
"I'm such a bad son. I fucking hate myself.." "No, don't say that. You're amazing, you're perfect. They're the ones who made you think you're a horrible person. Don't listen to them, they're trying to get into your head"
Chance kissed his chest, where his heart is located. "If you were such a horrid person, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have married you. But you see, I am here. We're together because I saw the best in you; your parents proved you wrong" He smiled.
Mafioso finally smiled, hugging Chance tighter. "Thank you, Chance. I love you so much" "I love you more, Mafi. You make me happy in every way"
Then, Chance looked up at the man and leaned up to give him a soft and tender kiss. Both men melted into it.
They both parted after that and smiled.
"We should go back downstairs, I think everyone is worried that something happened" Chance chuckled.
The taller man nodded, then both men got up and went back downstairs.
Ace was still asleep in Guest's arms. "He stayed asleep while you both were gone"
Chance was surprised, but happy.
The night went on, dinner was made and everyone ate, so did Ace.
It was nice. Mafioso felt loved for the first time. By Chance's friends and Chance himself.
Once everyone left, Mafioso's men went to sleep. The only ones awake were Chance, Mafioso and Ace.
The 3 were outside on the balcony, watching the moon shine bright up in the night sky.
Even though Ace's eyes were closed, Chance still praised him.
"You see the moon, Ace? It's so bright, just like you" He chuckled.
Mafioso was behind his husband, hands on his waist as he looked up at the bright sky.
He then placed a kiss on top of Chance's head as he hugged him close.
"Welcome to the real world, Ace Sonnellino" Chance grinned wide.
All Ace could do was hum and pur. "He says thank you" The man above commented.
The both of them chuckled, now staring off into the sky. Their rings shined under the moonlight.
The life of Ace Sonnellino starts now. The couple couldn't wait to see their son grow, who will soon start school, then to college.
"We love you, Ace" The smaller man hummed. Mafioso rested the side of his head on top of Chance's.
Ace's journey starts.. in moonlit skies..
