There were a lot of things that Tony values most in his life. Even though it often felt unbearable to love or value a single thing in his life style. With that he had his highest priorities and morals and extended shit like that but over everything he held his family.
There were a lot of misconceptions about the Soprano family. Rumours and shit, most of them were true. They were a mob family. Quite a few people knew it. But didn't talk about it. Then again. It's New Jersey.
Tony was the father to three kids. Meadow and Anthony junior, Meadow was 16, Anthony junior or commonly referred to as AJ, was 13. And then there was you. The oldest at 17. Carmine Soprano. You were a lot like your Grandfather. Johnny Soprano. Or known as Johnny Boy Soprano in the mafia. Tony could sense it. So could Camilla, his wife.
Tony was a man of power, and wealth. As a cover he was a waste management consultant. But everyone knew him. Everyone knew his family. No one fucked with the Sopranos. And Tony wasn't scared of nothing or no one. Though everyone was scared of him.
Something that did crack at Tony.. His first born son.. Carmine. The name Carmine was chosen by Tony once they found out that Carmine was going to be a boy. The male version of Camillas name. The idea of this teenager being the spitting embodiment of his own father scared him..
It'd terrify anyone with a right mind if you knew Johnny fucken Soprano. Carmine was always around Tony. He heard the mob conversations when Tony thought he didn't. He was the only person in the soprano siblings that knew the truth of their father. He picked up the morals and values in that life.
Tony never showed emotion. Or expressed it but it was his greatest fear. He didn't want his kids to live the life of organised crime. To look over their shoulders when they didn't have to. Camilla and Tony wanted them to live a smooth life.. With money and no troubles.
But some people were like a fucking magnet to crime and thrilled off the life. And chose to be in that life. Tonys father did. And Tony despised the man because he set it onto Tony.
Currently the family was sat around eating dinner. They didn't speak much at the dinner table. They did speak but it was kept rather quiet. You weren't home yet.
