Six Months Before

I open my eyes when I heard the door of my room open and close back. I sit up and see my husband. "You just got home?" I ask Jared when I see him walking towards me. I look at the time, it is 6:00 in the morning. I scootch a bit to give him space to sit on the bed. 

"Sorry, did I wake you up? You go back to sleep, I will be quiet," He said stroking my hair.

"No you don't, I just can't sleep much since you're not next to me," I said to him. 

"I am so sorry babe, there's an emergency at the hospital as usual but last night was very tiring. I'm exhausted. " He said. I can see that he is tired because his eyes red and the bag under his eyes is visible. 

"Awe poor my husband. Come and sleep next to me, I will wake you up at 7:30," I said and he smiles at me. Even though he is tired, smiles never leave his face. That's what I love about him. No matter how hard life is, he always smiles. 

"Thank you, my love," He said and give me a peck on my lips before close his eyes. He drifts to sleep as soon as his head touches the pillow. I adjust the blanket to cover him and I kiss him on the cheek. He looks so handsome with that face. It's been more than ten years but I guess I am falling for him more day by day. I smile and continue to sleep. 

***************************

I am now in the kitchen making breakfast for my family.

 For the question that do we have a maid? 

The answer is, Yes. Of course. We do have a maid and also a nanny to take care of Austin and Helena. I just love to cook for my family. Besides, they love to eat my cooking. Sometimes, I give the maid a rest from cooking, so that I can conquer the kitchen. 

Then Gabriella comes into the kitchen. "Good morning mom. What are you making?" 

"Good morning sweetheart. Today, for breakfast, I'm making you all avocados toasts." I said and I know that is her favorite.  "You want to help me with it?" She nods her head and we started to make it together. My daughter is big already and now I feel that I have another best friend since she always shares her story and problem with me. That's a perk of having children at a young age. 

"Mommy!" I heard Austin screamed from upstairs. "Mommy!" He called me again.

"Well, can you continue to do the rest? I need to get your brother," I said and she nods her head. I walk upstairs to Austin's but then I am surprised by him standing in front of his room naked while crossing his arms. 

I shake my head while chuckle to see him, "What's wrong with you, Austin? Why are you naked?" I ask and he grabs my fingers and leads me into his room. " Austin, why you take out all your clothes from the wardrobe?" I ask him and looking at the mess that he did. The morning not even starts yet and here he is, already makes a full mess.

"I want to wear superman's shirt but I can't find it," He said. "Mommy, can you help me?" I smile looking at my five-year-old son. I can't be mad at this cute face in front of me.
