"that's great, you guys can stay over after your date, the Mafia is coming over" Leo bro-hugged Xavier

"that's nice, well be there. oh! and by the way, Ayla asked if you could pick up iris from the nursery beside their old house" iris was Ayla and Jaxon's daughter who was 3 years younger than the twins.

"yeah sure, i was planning on going to our neighborhood. Leo do you want to come with me?"

"yeah sure, mother can watch the kids" Xavier and Shantelle said goodbye and left to go on their date

"I'm going to get my phone and come down" 

i went up stairs and to our room, i picked up my phone form my nightstand and hurried out. i headed to the boy's room and knocked. i opened the door and smiled the moment i saw them. Cassian and marcelly were playing videogames and Tiberias had Aurelia resting in his arms on the couch.

"hey there, this is the money for the food when the delivery guy comes. me and your father are going to get iris." i handed marcelly the cash

"and briar rose is coming over with some new kids you only met once before" 

"Bree is coming! yes!" marcelly cheered 

"why are you so excited? she's only a girl" Cassian scoffed

"don't you dare speak about her like that again" marcelly got up all in Cassian's face

"guys calm down, no fights when we're gone" they nodded

i reached the car and hopped in the passenger seat while Leo started the engine.

"iris doesnt finish till 4, we have 30 minutes before she's done, do you want to do something?" 

"yeah, can you take us to my parents house?" 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

we chose to live close to Ayla and Jaxon who still lived in our old neighborhood, but in a much better and fancier house. Leo made sure to help out neighborhoods like our old one and make them better ones, and because of that, all my old neighbors loved Leo.

"were here" Leo parked the car outside my childhood's home "do you want me to stay?" 

"no no i want to show you something" we both got out of the car. we headed towards the door and i opened it using the key i have.

"i remembered something a few nights ago. when Rosie came back to us, she talked about a box my dad made and kept here, and i told her i never opened it in respect for his memory. it said to open when I'm older, and i think I'm old enough to open it" we headed to my dads old garage

"its still in the same place as before" i opened the garage's door

"what is it though?" 

"it was a box my dad made and put a couple tapes in it for us, when they were 25, at least that what Rosie knows" i tried to take out the box from on top of the cupboard 

"here let me help" Leo took it down for me

"thanks stupido" 

"your welcome principessa" he kissed my head then leaned on the table beside him

i put the box on that table and opened it. it had a tape to play using a VHS player, under it was a photo album and a bunch of letter envelopes with names on them

"do you want to read them?" 

"yeah but not here, lets play the tape first" i took the tape and placed it inside the VHS player
