?|Their Joy|?

"Aw, Matteo, I love you." Allegra wiped the fake tear from her face.

The others just shook their heads at her antics.

After dinner, Allegra tried to slip out of the dining room and towards her bedroom when Marco captured Allegra in his arms. "Oomph," Allegra voiced. "Marco, leave me right now. Or I'm going to tell Leo about it."

"You are not in a position to threaten me." Marco said, tightening his hold.

"Okay, I have to tell you something. Come here." Allegra tried to trick him but Marco was smart, he didn't fall for it.

"I have no other option, Marco. You forced me for it." Marco frowned. "Leoo, help me!" Allegra screamed.

Leonardo came running towards them, "What is going on here?" He asked angrily.

"Look, he is not letting me leave." Allegra made puppy eyes toward him.

Leonardo held Allegra's hand and yanked her towards him. "Marco go to your room, right now. You are grounded for a month." Marco looked at him, shocked.

Leonardo held Allegra's hand and took him to his room. Allegra stuck her tongue out at Marco who was fuming.

When Allegra entered Leonardo's room her first line was, "I'm taking you room now."

She twirled and plopped down on Leonardo's bed. His room was like the typical eldest son's who has a lot of responsibilities and no colors in his life or room. The black colors complemented his personality and grey walls.

His large bed was adorned with a dark grey duvet. Coincidence or not but even the grey sky was matching his room. "Damn, I'm feeling so sleepy here. Leo, you can have my room. Though you won't fit on my bed, that's fine I guess. You could do that much for your pretty little sister, no?"

Leonardo raised his brow at her. "Don't you think you are making too many demands?"

"Oh, I am?" Her grinning face turned solemn, "I'm sorry."

Leonardo shook his head at her," I hope you know that I'm aware of your dramas."

A sheepish grin crossed her face. "Sorry." Her extended 'r' made her look adorable for Leonardo.

"Allegra, you should really stop messing with your brothers." Leonardo scolded her softly.

Allegra chuckled. "I know, I'm sorry. But it's just so fun, you know?" Her twinkling eyes felt heavy as she tried to stay awake.

"The way their faces turn so red and scary." Her eyes fell shut as her voice tuned in to whisper.

"But you are right, I should probably stop. I'll apolo-" she yawned as she drift off to sleep, "-gize."

Leonardo stared at Allegra as if she is his entire life. He could stare at her forever if he could. Walking over to his bed, he sat beside Allegra and removed a wild strand of hair from her forehead.

He found her Rosy cheeks so adorable. He chuckled as he remembered how chubby these cheeks were when she was born. Her dark long lashes same as his rested on her cheekbones. One could mistake them as father and daughter if not for the scar on her left cheekbone near her eye.

He caressed her scar which she got on that unfortunate night. He visibly shuddered when he remembered that.

He took off his blazer and hung it in its place. He freshened up and came to check on Allegra who was still sleeping.

Rapid knocks sounded on the door, loud enough to stir Allegra from her sleep. Fortunately, she draped a spare pillow on her ears blocking all the voices.

Leonardo walked over to the door and opened it to reveal a panting Matteo, "All-Egra is not in the house and-"

Leonardo cut him off, "She is right there."

Antonio, Marco, Rocco, Alessandro, and Alexander came running behind Matteo. They looked in the direction of Leonardo's pointed finger and sighed in relief.

Alexander put his hand on Rocco, who was supposed to be standing beside him but since he ran to Leonardo's room he sat on his knees to catch his breath, as Alexander fell to the floor. "Ow, mama Mia."

"What is wrong with you, Alex?" Marco said while glaring at him.

"What is wrong WITH ME?? Did you not see you me falling because of your brother?" Alexander gasped.

"How is that my fault, puta?" Rocco yelled who immediately was slapped by Matteo on his back.

"She is sleeping."

They entered Leonardo's room and went into his closet to change his clothes.

Alessandro slid on the bed with his phone and sighed. "Leo literally has the best room."

Rocco pushed Allegra in the middle and laid him down in her previous place. "But you're never getting it. Ever."

"Needed the reality check." Alessandro muttered.

Alexander settled on the dark-colored bench, at the foot of the bed. "How the fuck she is sleeping in so much noise?"

"She didn't slept well last night." Matteo replied as he sat beside Antonio on the grey couch in the room.

"Why?" Marco asked as he saw Leonardo exiting the closet with fresh pair of clothes, he settled between Antonio and Matteo.

Leonardo took Marco's previous seat and looked at Matteo and nodded. "She asked me about Arora and Rosa and..." He sighed.

"And about whom?" Alessandro perked up.

"Sergio." Leonardo said with so much distaste and anger.

Allegra turned on her back, facing Rocco with her hand on her stomach. Rocco scooted closer to her and draped an arm over and caressed her hair.

"What did she say then?" Alessandro asked, his gaze never leaving her face.

"Nothing." Leonardo stared outside the window in a daze.

"The woman was too stunned to speak." Allegra spoke softly, loud enough for everyone to hear her.

Startled, everyone looked over at her. "You were awake this whole time?"

She shook her head with a grin on her face. "I woke up when Alessandro asked 'what did she say'. And I had to add that meme."

Allegra looked over her head and spoke seriously, "Rocco." He looked at her with a raised brow, "Did it hurt?"

"When?"

"When you ate her face-" Allegra's loud giggles could be heard from outside of the room.

Her twinkling blue eyes crinkled from the side as her smile widened with every tickle Rocco did on her.

Everyone smiled looking at her happy face. Her eyes and smile felt so much brighter in the dark room. Leonardo shared a look with Antonio and Matteo who also looked over at Allegra with the same love and smile as the two pairs of twins did.

She was Their Allegra; Their Joy.

Arora did a good job of naming her Joy; Allegra
