((Set at night on Febuary 5, title Italian for Reunion. Open to the Largo's their workers, and pretty much anyone. Meant mainly as a re-union thread from Mama Largo and her children))
Lucretzia walked through the opera house doors, a flood of memories coming back to her. Her and Rotti going on many a date here, she and her two oldest walking hand and hand up the red velvete stair case to their balcony seats. The way little Pavi would stare at himself in the shiny railings and large mirror by the entrance. She wondered if they were here, she hoped they were here. Lucretzia wanted to see them all so so badly since she arrived in New York, but could not think of a way to approach them without sounding like a crazy person.
So she began haunting her childrens usual spots. She paid gossip mongers and hanger ons to give her info on where all three of her children liked to eat, where they got their hair, surgeries, manicures, done. But try as she might she was unable to get close enough to touch them let alone speak privately to them. And it broke her heart even more. Tonight Lurcetzia was wearing one of her favorite dresses. A tight mermaid gown with long lace sleeves made of black silk and lace embrodiery down the front with a bit of black jewles to give it a sparkle.

For once, the youngest Largo child was alone for the evening. He'd dismissed his horde of Genterns, as usual, for the Opera, where'd he gone to search for a new face to add to his collection. He needed to be alone for the beginning of the evening...then, of course, he'd find a nice pretty lady friend.
Glancing around the vicinity, he spotted out several beauties that were promising, but they all seemed to be missing something. Suddenly, the Pavi's eyes fell on a striking beauty across the room wearing a beautiful black gown that fit her figure nicely. A little older looking, it seemed, but Pavi didn't mind. Glancing towards her face critically, his eyes widened at the striking resemblance to someone, but he couldn't put his mind on who. Whoever it was that they reminded him of, they must have been gorgeous.
"Her face...it's-a perfect," Pavi grinned, genuinely meaning it for once. He had to have it. Strolling across the room casually, he made it to look like he'd accidentally bumped into the woman, then turned back to her with feigned surprise.
"Oh, forgive-a me, signora," Pavi started, turning to the woman with a surprised smile. "I didn't notice you...that's a mistake I-a surely won't make again."

When Lucretzia turned around to face Pavi she felt the air go out of her throat in shock. After all these years, almost twenty three infact, she hadn't seen him. And now here he was and he couldn't find the words to say even a simple 'hello'.
She was truely speechless and she couldn't take her eyes off him, though it broke her heart to see him wearing another persons face like that. But he still had her mothers beautiful blue eyes, he at least hadn't changed that. "It's-a alright." Lucritzia said quietly, her accent slipping out. She was silent unsure what to say next. "You are...Paviechi Antonio Largo are you not?" She knew who he was, but still she wanted to make sure. It could be an imposter or worse an hallucination.

"Guilty as-a charged, signora," Pavi grinned, giving a small bow to the woman. Completely unaware that this was his mother, Pavi decided to continue on with his flirting. The woman looked nervous, perhaps even shy. She obviously knew who he was, and was probably just dying to have a taste of the Pavi.
Well, Paviche Antonio Largo was not one to disappoint.
"I'm-a surprised you know my full name. Someone's been-a doing their reading, eh?" Pavi chuckled slightly, noting the similar accent in the woman's tone with interest. Something about her was very familiar, though Pavi had no idea what. Taking the woman's hand, he planted a gentle kiss on her pale skin, grinning at her with all the charm of a modern-day playboy.
"Now, you-a know my name, but I don't-a yours. Care to introduce-a yourself, tesoro?"

Lucretia gave a sigh, this was it. She was going to tell him who she was, what she was to him. "It's-a true. I know everything I could find out about you." She admitted. She felt tears well up when he kissed her hand, it had been so long since she had even hugged her children. "Lucritzia Rosabella Accardi-Largo." She was silent then hoping, praying to The Madonna that Pavi would recognize her now.

Pavi paused, immediately dropping the woman's hand. A confused look passed over his face, then a deep-set glare. He took a step back from the woman, an unusually serious look on his faces.
"How dare you," he spat, narrowing his eyes behind his mask. He had half a mind to kill the woman right then and there, nevermind the onlookers and the fact that spontaneous murders were more Luigi's thing. "My mother has-a been dead for nearly twenty years," he continued. While the woman did bear a striking resemblance, Pavi saw it as no more than a facade. "You think-a you can make-a yourself look like her and-a try to fool me? I don't-a think so."
Pavi gave the woman another hateful look, turning abruptly on his heel to go. He suddenly didn't feel like the Opera tonight.

Lucretzia chased after him, cursing herself for wearing heels and for thinking it would be so easy. "But I am, Paviechi!" She said grabbing his arm to slow him down hoping she wouldn't have guards try and kill her. "I have-a been alive this whole time...waiting for your father to die so I could see-a my children once more. Give me a DNA test and you will see that-a I am telling the truth to you."
Lucretzia was trying not to cry not in public not infront of him. She stood up straight to compose herself, smoothing her straight black hair behind her shoulders. "I am your mother, if you will-a not do a DNA test than-a ask me something only your mother would-a know."

Pavi's eyes narrowed again as he felt the woman grab his wrist. People were staring now, and his guards were preparing to step in. Pavi glanced between them and this insane lady. Jerking his arm out of her grasp, he held out a hand to the men, motioning for them to wait.
Slowly turning around to face the woman, Pavi folded his arms across his chest, a challenging expression that read for her to just try him. "Fine. I'll-a humor you," Pavi said irritably. "If-a you're really my mother...then what did-a you give me for-a my fourth birthday, before you 'died'?"
Pavi knew it was an outrageous question, but it was the only thing he could think of. His memory of his mother was limited, as she'd passed away when he was still young and his father had refused to acknowledge her afterwards.

"A unicorn, a stuffed unicorn." Lucritzia said quickly remembering her sons fourth birthday party, the last she had been to, in detail. She remembered everything the gifts, the cake, how he had looked so happy when she gave him it. "It's-a white with matching mane and tail made of-a fine spun silk. It-a has a sparkly gold horn and and big blue eyes. It's-a hooves are made of-a white satin, and she-a, you decided it-a was a she, has a lavender harness and saddle with-a gold stars on it." She paused looking at him sincerly. "That's why-a you named her Stella."

Pavi's superior look fell, replaced with a look of shock. His eyes widened beneath his mask, and his jaw fell open. He'd never told anyone about that, and the only ones who knew were his siblings, his dead father...and his mother. He even still had that old thing in his closet.
A few snickers aroused from his guards, and Pavi quickly shot them a threatening look before turning back to the woman. Her hair, her lips, her eyes...the ones that matched his almost exactly...were hers. There was no doubt about it; she was his mother.
"Mama?" He asked quietly in a near childish tone, a single tear sliding down the cheek of his mask.

"Bambino." Lurcretzia said holding her arms out to embrace her son, who she hadn't held in her arms for over twenty years. She felt the tears coming now, and all around them cameras started going off, wanting to capture this rather unbelieveable and amazing bit of history unfolding.
It was like part of an opera come to life. A long lost mother reunited with her son, a woman who everyone thought was dead having faked her death for over a decade only to resurface.

Pavi slowly wrapped himself in his mother's arms, ignoring the heavy flash of cameras going off around them. Several tears slid down the sides of his mask as he buried his face into the woman's shoulder. It felt far too good to be true; his mother, the parent he truly loved, was back after what seemed like an eternity.
"Mama, ho perso così tanto," Pavi whispered, hugging her tightly against his chest. Looking back up at her incredulously, he slowly reached up to touch her face, as though to see if it were truly her. "But...how?" He asked, shaking his head in disbelief as he looked into her eyes.

Lucretzia cried as he hugged her, burying her face in his hair smelling him. Her son was with her now, in her arms.
"Please don't let this be a dream. Please, please don't let this be a dream." She thought over and over.She swallowed hard, trying to breath and talk at the same time. But it was hard to think about anything except wrapping her son around her so tight he could barely breath. "Tu sei padre, Bambino, tuo padre mi ha fatto". She glared around at the photographers and the crowed surrounding them. "I will tell you more when we get in private."

Pavi looked at his mother for a moment, eyes widening slightly at her explanation. Glancing around behind them at the growing crowd, Pavi suddenly motioned for his men, who soon surrounded the two relatives.
Blocking the photographers and crowd, the guards signaled for Pavi and his mother to follow, making a path through the crowd towards the door.
"Let's-a go home, Mama," Pavi smiled, turning back to his mother. Suddenly, his eyes widened with realization. "Oh, shit! Amber, Luigi! Mama, we have-a to go, quickly!"

"Si, si." Lucretzia said taking her sons arm, ignoring the news cameras that were already outside. "Chances are they-a already know about my re-apperance." She said in disgust at the cameras knowing full well that this was probally live. They were swarmed by reporters and photographers, many roughly pushed away by Pavi's guards. She was grateful for that and made a mental note to thank the men personally. "Will...they-a hate me for dissappering on them. Because I-a had a very very good reason."
