Episode 12

It has been six months since I started working at the automotive company Gonzalez as an intern. I do not know my boss, but everyone says he is a cold, arrogant, and lonely man.

I work only in the mornings, take online classes in the afternoon, and help out at the pub at night. In the morning, Eliza stays with Ravi and Luna, in the afternoon I manage to attend class and spend time with them. My babies are lovely and do not cause any trouble. At night, they stay with Peter's sister for a few hours.

I did not have the courage to leave them at the daycare after what happened. Ravi and Luna showed up with bruises on their bodies, I was furious, I even reported the teacher and caregivers. We found out through security cameras that they hit the children when they cried. I have never been one to fight, but when I saw that teacher in front of me, I dragged her shameless face on the asphalt and gave her a good beating for what she did to my babies.

"Who do you think you are, harming children? Such gentle and defenseless beings!"

Since that incident, we decided to split the time and keep them at home under our care. My little ones ended up traumatized after that. Every time we pass by that daycare, they hide behind us or cry.

I wake up with my prince jumping on me.

Last night, Luna woke up crying and consequently woke up Ravi, and they only calmed down when I put them to sleep with me in bed.

"Mama… milk…"

Luna wakes up and does the same as her brother.

I pick them up, hug them, shower them with kisses and tickles, making them laugh.

"Good morning, my loves!" I say, with my heart overflowing.

I change their diapers, turn on the TV for them to watch, and go prepare their milk.

While they drink, I get ready to go to work.

"Good morning, flower!" Eliza says, planting a kiss on my cheek. "Good morning, auntie's sweethearts!"

They giggle.

"Good morning, sweetheart!" I reply.

I notice that Eliza is sad, last night I heard her and Peter arguing.

We take the kids to the living room. While we have breakfast, they play and we watch them.

"Has Peter gone to work?" I ask, after taking a sip of my coffee.

"Yes!"

"I heard the argument last night! What was the reason this time?"

"He wants to come and live permanently here and wants to have children! But tell me, flower, how are we going to live together, have children if he doesn't even have a stable job? I am not going to take on the role of supporting a man at home!"

"Peter is a nice guy, but he lacks maturity. Maybe he'll change with responsibilities! He loves the children!"

My sister falls silent.

"When you decide to build your life together, I don't want you to think about me and the children, I want you to think about your happiness! I'll figure it out, I always have and it won't be any different! I haven't left yet because you haven't let me..."

"I don't want you all far away! And I really don't know if I'm ready for such an important step!"

"Think carefully, maybe things will change!"

"You're right! I'll think about the thousands of possibilities!" she says playfully and I smile.

When the kids turned one, I found a house for us to move into, I didn't want to stay here taking away their privacy, but Eliza did not allow it.

I say goodbye to her, kiss my babies, and head to work. Like every day, they throw tantrums, so I have to leave sneakily.

As soon as I arrive at the company, I go to the department where I work. I feel like I'm being watched, but I ignore it, after all, there are many employees here. I take my position and focus on my work.

Once my shift ends, I stop by the pharmacy to buy diapers. I was distracted when I passed by a newspaper stand and saw Benjamin on the cover of a magazine.

"He continues to be handsome and apparently, has achieved everything he wanted!"

I brush off those thoughts, buy the diapers for the kids, and head back home.

The rest of the day proceeds smoothly.

After my class, I play hide and seek with Ravi and Luna, their laughter echoing throughout the house, filling my heart with joy.

At night, I go to the pub, and as soon as the show ends, I return home. Ravi and Luna are asleep, so I take the opportunity to finish a college assignment.

I lose track of time, Peter and Eliza walk in holding onto each other at home.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart! I thought you were sleeping!" he says, as soon as he noticed my presence here.

"I was working on some college assignments! Pretend I'm not here!" I say playfully and we laugh.

Peter says he'll wait for her in the bedroom, wishes her good night, and goes to the bedroom.

"Looks like you guys worked things out?" I ask, organizing my things.

"Yes! I thought a lot and I believe it's time to take a new step!"

Happily, I hug her.

"Can you come with me to the gynecologist tomorrow afternoon? I want to talk to the gynecologist, stop using birth control, and stop preventing ourselves, but I want to talk to her first, get some recommendations!"

"Of course! As soon as I get back, we'll go!"

"Great, I'll get the kids ready!"

We say goodbye, she goes to her room.

I put my things away and go to my room.

Unable to sleep, I pick up a newspaper and look for a house to rent. I'm already starting to prepare to find a place for us, I want my sister to be happy.

I make some notes, leave the newspaper on the nightstand, and go to the children's cribs. I watch their peaceful sleep for a moment, caress their little faces, then plant a loving kiss.

"I love these little ones so much, it fills my heart! I am capable of anything for them and for them!"

I lie down on my bed and soon fall asleep.
