"Hey, it's not that bad of a mess."

He laughed awkwardly, mainly because he had cleaned recently. It certainly wasn't one of his stronger skills, though. He was wearing the shirt that Rinali had gotten him for Christmas, and he fidgeted as the puppies crowded around his mother. He really wasn't as confident about this now as he was a few minutes ago.

"Yeah... Made something for you."

"I'll admit, it could be worse. At least there's not some new species growing in these old pizza boxes."

She leaned over to greet the wiggling puppies, puckering her lips to make kissing faces at them and receiving wet licks in return. Eva lifted her head to smile at her son, scooping up Pepperoni and scratching the excitable little dalmatian in her lap.

"You did? Oh, Dante, you didn't have to."

He kicks a couple boxes under the bed, hoping that it actually makes a difference.

"Yeah... Oh, watch out. That one wets himself on occasion."

He allows the distraction of the puppies to give him time to set up his guitar. He's oddly nervous about this, he's not sure if she'll like it or not.

She gave him an impish smile. "So did your brother but that never stopped me." She kissed the top of the dog's head.

She was a little surprised to see the guitar. When had he learned to play an instrument? She really had missed a lot in her boys' lives...
