âFew years later â
âRebeccaâs POV
âGreta, plea-se pas-s the oranges to the other table, Iâd like someone to start ma-king the fresh jui-ce now.â I called out to her.
âAlright.â She said, almost bu-mping into a worker.
I smiled, going back to slicing the tomatoes.
Who knew family dinner would be so stressful? I had been planning this since Elena and Daniella c@mÂŁ into our lives, that was like three years ago, exactly on the sixth of June. We had two beautiful angels.
So much for wanting a male child.
Now, Elena and Daniella just turned three, today and Liano and I planned to make tonight special⊠All family members are going to attend!
Camilla is going to be here with Marcos and Manuel, her cute little boy who is also three. Piper and Diego got married two years ago and Piper was pregnant with her first child.
April had a beautiful baby Girl, Janice.
My mom arrived from New York yesterday. she and Emelianoâs mother, Luciana were outside ma-king arrangements for the kids pl@yhouse
Marcosâs Mom was not able to make it because she and her husband were busy with their usual monthly trip to Los Angeles.
In all, we were all complete and happy, kinda .
Emeliano still had issues with Marcos, but he was s-en-sible enough to know when to say stupid stuffs and when to leave his angry comments to himself.
Camilla and April werenât on the best friends basics yet⊠But they still tried to get along with each other. Tried.
My mother and April were on speaking terms now though. Two years ago, April and I travelled back to New York to spend some time with Our mom.
Emeliano and I had a proper normal wedding the same year I got pregnant. But we kept the pri-vate wedding to ourselves though⊠No nee-d for another family drama.
After slicing the tomatoes, I brou-ght out the pan, and poured a little amount of oil in it. I placed the tomatoes in the oil, stirring it from side to side⊠Then I poured the onions, frying everything together.
I opened up a restaurant last year, it was alre-ady flowing with business and very happy costumers⊠But today, I left all the work to my as-sistant, Julie, she as-sured me that sheâd be just fine with the workâŠ
She loved cooking as much as I did.
âHey!â Emeliano called out, rushing to the kitchen. He looked nervous and somewhat scared.
âHey, what have you done?â I asked him, taking my attention off the pan for a second.
He scrunched his brows. âWhy do you think Iâve done something wrong?â He asked. Now heâs just trying to be cute⊠Only if he knew that he didnât have to try.
âYou have the. âi have done something wrong lookâ on your face.â I stated. âSo, tell me⊠Whatâs wrong?â
He only sighed before speaking.
âEverything.â He said. âI canât find the girls.â
I frowned. âPablo, plea-se come take over!â I said, as Pablo took control of the cooking.
I pu-ll-ed Emeliano out of the kitchen. âWhat do you mean by you canât find the girls? You were supposed to get them re-ady for this evening.â I said to him.
âYeah, I was helping them get re-ady, but then I got a call from the office. I swear it didnât take long, maybe like thirty minutes or so.. and then when I got back, they were gone.â
I gro-an ed. âHave you checked the balcony?â
âYeah⊠Iâve done that⊠Iâm freaking out, Rebecca.â
âCalm down! If you freak out, what do you want me to do! You nee-d to be strong for the both of usâŠâ
âOkay⊠But where could they have gone?â
âHave you asked the guards?â
âYes, they havenât seen them either.â Emeliano said.
âThose girls will be the death of me, I swear.â I muttered.
âCome on, we gotta find them before Piper gets here.â Emeliano said, rushing up the stairs.
I followed him to the girls room.
The two be-ds were empty and scattered. âBut I cleaned here this morning.â I stated.
âDaniella did that.â Emeliano said.
I rolled my eyes. âElla! Elena! Today isnât hide and seek day, you know that right?â I called out.
âDani come on! Daddyâs about to go out to get your favorite chocolate, donât you wanna go too?â Emeliano said.
âHow did you lose them?â
âI told you how. You know how they are, they really love this hide and seek game.â
I smiled at him. âSt©p trying to put the blame on hide and seek Liano.â
âSo what are you saying? That I purposely lost them?â
âIt could be that⊠This isnât exactly the first time you know, you always pl@yhide and seek with them so you could have your alone time with me, and later on when you want to pl@ywith them, you find them fast asleep in the sp©t they hid.â I said.
âI- I donât do that.â He said, avoiding my gaze. âWhatever, letâs just find them.â
âWell, obviously, theyâre not here.â I said.
âThen they should be in our be-droom, un-der the be-d.â Emeliano suggested.
âFine, letâs go check.â I answered as we both walked out of the room together.
âThere you both are!â Piper appeared right in front of us. The baby bu-mp in her stomach, made her whole face glow. âDiego and I just arrived, we have been looking for you both everywhere, but first of all- where are those two little devils, eh?â She said, trying to pop her way into the door behind us.
Emeliano and I blocked her path. âWhy, they are getting re-ady you see, and they really want to surprise everyone so they asked us to allow them make an- an uh-â I couldnât think of the right word.
âEntrance,â Emeliano completed for me. âYou know how dramatic they can be right?â He said.
âYes, yeah of course,â she sighed sadly. âI seriously wanted to see them though.â
âOh, you will⊠They are just getting re-ady!â I said nervously.
âYes they are⊠They really wanted you to see them too but uh- they wanted to also surprise you with their, you know⊠New dresses and stuff.â Emeliano said.
âRight⊠I totally get it⊠April and Janice are downstairs alre-ady.â Piper said.
âOh really? How about Jacob?â Emeliano asked. Jacob was Aprilâs husband.
âApril said he went to a toy sto-re just after dropping them off, he wanted to get something for all the kids.â Piper informed.
âOh thatâs generous of him⊠Why donât you go downstairs Piper⊠Iâll just help the girls get re-ady and weâll be down in no time.â
âSure. Iâll go help in the kitchen.â Piper smiled as she walked away.
I sighed. âWe nee-d to find the girls.â I whispered to Emeliano.
We both went to our room.
âDani! Elena⊠Are you girls in here?â I called out, checking the bathroom while Emeliano went into the walk-in closet.
They werenât in the bathroom.
âUh- Rebecca? You might wanna see this.â Emeliano said. the sound of amusement graced his words.
I rushed to the walk-in closet. When my eyes moved to the direction Emeliano was looking at, I g@sped.
âHow the hell did they find the cake?â I whispered as I watched our girls bath themselves with the surprise cake I thought I hid so well, their hair and dresses were messy and the cake was basically destroyed.
âWhy are you asking me? You thought the walk-in closet was a proper place to hide the surprise cake.â Emeliano chuckled.
âOh, this is a disaster.â I whispered.
âDani looâ itâs daddy anâ mommy, theyâve comâ to eat cake too. Movâ away, let them sit.â Elena said, pushing Dani to a corner.
Daniella grinned, turning her head to our direction. Her brown black her was designed with cake. She stood up on her two little feet and rushed to Emeliano. âDaddy! Come come! The cake is plenty!â
âOh Dani, why did you both do this? Now how are we going to wash all this cake from your hair?â
âElena come here.â I said as I walked over to Elena, scooping her up in my arms.
âMommy arâ you okay? You looâ like you wanâto cry?â Elena said.
âIâm okay honey. But the cake isnât and Iâm sad that you found it.â
âTold you it wasnât a good hiding sp©t⊠These girls can find anything.â Emeliano said. âThey have back up dresses right?â
âYeah they do⊠Can you handle them? Iâll go get their clothes.â
âSure.â Emeliano said, taking Elena from my arm.
âBe right back.â I said, rushing out of the room only to bu-mp into Camilla. âCammy, you guys are here.â
âYeah, we just arrived. Everyone is here actually.â
âOh thatâs, awesome. I hope Manuel is here though?â
âOf course, the baby sitter quit her job.â Camilla said.
âThatâs like the fifth baby sitter this week right?â I asked.
âYeah⊠Itâs awful⊠Kids are a handful, but looking at you, you seem to be handling your girls like itâs so easy.â
Oh, you have no idea.
âI try.â I said.
Camillaâs brow c@mÂŁ together as her eyes scanned my go-wn. âIs that- icing?â
âWhat?â I looked down at my go-wn. âOh- yeah, you know- preparation for the after birthday p@rty and stuff.â
âI un-derstand⊠I was just heading to powder my nose, see you downstairs.â She said as she walked away.
I sighed, proceeding to the girls room.
Getting in, I gr@bbÂŁd their back up dress and shoes.
âBecca?â Aprilâs voice made me look up.
âHey! April.â I said, walking over to her and gave her a hvg.
âIâve been asking about you⊠Why arenât you downstairsâŠ
Everyone has arrived⊠The pla-yground is re-ady and-â April paused. âEmeliano lost the girls again, didnât he?â
Oh, she knew me so well.
âYeah⊠But we found them⊠Not in a good state.â
âThe surprise cake is destroyed, right?â
âYes. I seriously donât know how they were able to find it.â
April laughed. âTheyâre smart you know. But hey! Guess who knew this would happen! She actually decided to get a back up surprise cake because she knew hiding the original one in a walk-in closet was a bad idea.â April wiggled her brows.
âOh my- d–n I love you so much.â I gave her a ti-ght hvg. âYouâre a life saver.â I said.
âYeah yeah.. I know⊠Why donât you go get them re-ady and Iâll see what I can do to stall everyone downstairs.â
âThanks April, youâre the best.â
âLike I said, I know⊠Now go.â She laughed.
Finally, we got the girls into the new dresses, styled their hair again and sprayed them their favorite rosy perfume.
âYou re-ady?â Emeliano asked me.
I sighed with a smile. âI am⊠Letâs go give them a grand surprise, shall we girls?â
They both giggled.
The rest of the night turned out okay, we had a blissful dinner and after that, we watched all the kids explore the new found pla-yhouse in the Alfredo Mansion.
âHey,â I whispered to Emeliano who couldnât take his eyes off our girls.
He smiled at me. âI know what you want to say.â He said.
âI know you know, but Iâll say it anyway.â I smiled. âI love you, husband.â I whispered to his ears.
âAnd I love you too, Wife.â He smiled, placing a k!sson my forehead.
I inhaled his never tiring scent and closed my eyes, knowing fully well that we are where we wanted to be.
In each others arms.?
