Raquel's point of view:
Today I will see Paula and my mother again, I am very happy, during the robbery I thought I would never see them again, but now everything is over! I count the seconds to see them again.
Sergio's point of view:
In 1 hour Paula, Marivi and Cincinnati will come to the hotel. I can not wait to see them especially Paula, I love her like my daughter. I don't know if she loves me the same way I love her. I know I can't take her father's place, but I can't help but hope that one day she sees me as her own.
I approach Raquel. She is sitting on the sofa. She has a big smile, she is very happy to see her mother and her daughter again just like me. I sit next to her and hug her.
Me: they will be there in 1 hour.
Raquel: yes I can't wait to find them!
Me: I know my love, I can't wait to see them again too.
Raquel: I don't know how I'm going to approach the subject of the baby with Paula, and I'm afraid of her reaction. (She Said worried)
Me: don't worry Raquel it's going to be okay.
Raquel: I hope.
After 1 hour:
Raquel's point of view:
It's time for mom and Paula to arrive now.
Me: Sergio it's time! I'm going downstairs !
Sergio: yes Raquel, wait, I'll come with you.
I start to run, Sergio holds me back.
Sergio: Raquel! Easy you are pregnant! Did you hear what the doctor said!
Me: blah! ok, okay calm down!
We arrive downstairs. They are still not there. We sit on the sofa. Denver and Monica arrive and sit down next to us.
Monica: I can't wait to see Cincinnati again.
Me: yes me too, I ...
Sergio cuts me off.
Sergio: Raquel! They are there !
I turn to see the hotel door. And I see my daughter, oh my love. she saw me too, she gives me a big smile and comes running towards me. I can't help but cry of joy. Now her in front of me. I take her and hug her tightly, crying. She is crying too.
Paula: I missed you so much mom, so much! There are times when I thought that I would never see you again, and that you would never come and get me! I thought you abandoned me! (She said crying and hugging me hard)
Me: I missed you too my baby, please forgive me my love, I will never leave you, forgive me darling, I love you so much my baby. (I say crying)
Paula: I love you too mom. I want you to promise me that we will never separate.
Me: I promise you my love, we will never separate!
I take her face in my hands, wipe away her tears and kiss her cheeks. She smiles at me.
Paula: where is Sergio? I missed him too.
I look around me. I see him talking to my mother.
Me: he talks with mamie. Shall we go see them?
Paula: yeees!
Me: let's go my love.
Paula runs in the direction of Sergio. He looks at her surprised but he doesn't hesitate for a second to open his arms to her.
Paula: Sergio! I missed you !
Sergio: I missed you too Paula! (He said with tears in his eyes)
I turn my head and see my mother looking at me.
Me: mom! (I say running away to take her in my arms)
Marivi: oh Raquel! My Girl I missed you so much! Come here! (She said opening her arms to me)
She recognized me I am very happy!
Me: mom! (I say hugging her crying)
She is crying too.
Me: I missed you so much mom! So much !
She wipes my tears away.
Marivi: don't cry my daughter. Don't cry, I'm here.
Me: are you okay mom?
Marivi: yes my love I'm fine. (She said stroking my cheek)
Me: I'm very happy to see you again mom.
Marivi: Me too Raquel, but what's wrong with Sergio? Why is he hurt on his cheek? And why is he limping?
I don't know how I'm going to answer it.
Me: he is ...
Sergio: Marivi, Paula, I think you are tired after your trip, you have to rest, and for that I ask you to come with me, to show you your room.
Thank you Sergio you saved me.
Paula: but I want to stay with mom and you!
I look at Sergio.
Sergio: You can come with us to our room. Since your mom needs to rest too, both of you can rest.
Paula: yeees!
Sergio: Marivi please come with me, so I can show you your room.
Marivi: my son, how many times have I told you that you have to stop talking to me in a formal way!
I'm laug. Sergio blushes.
Sergio: yes sorry ... sorry Marivi.
She takes his hand.
Marivi: come on! What are you waiting for ? take me to my room!
I explode with laughter when I see Sergio's face.
Sergio: yes, yes let's go.
Me: mom, I want to tell you something before you leave with Sergio.
Sergio looks at me, I nod.
Marivi: yes Raquel tell me.
Me: come with me I want no one to hear us.
We go to a corner isolated from the others. Paula stayed with Sergio, we will inform her in our room afterwards.
Marivi: what do you want to tell me Raquel?
Me: mom I ... I am pregnant.
Marivi: oh my daughter! Congratulation ! you may not know how happy i am! I'm going to have grandson! (she hugs me)
Me: I too am happy mom.
She caresses my belly.
Me: mom please don't tell anyone that. We will inform them only when the first trimester end.
Marivi: ok my daughter don't worry.
We come back to Sergio and Paula. Sergio takes mum to her room while I bring Paula to our room 2 minutes later Sergio joins us. We are all lying on the bed, Paula between Sergio and me.
Me: Paula, we need to tell you something.
Sergio: yes. (He said stressed)
He looks at me, I smile at him.
Sergio: Paula would you like to become a big sister?
Paula: yes! That we were in Madrid with dad, I kept asking mum that I want to have a little sister or a little brother, but she always told me no, it's not possible.
Because it was out of the question to have another child with Alberto.
Me: what if I tell you that in a few months, your little brother or sister will be born?
Paula: do you have a baby in your belly?
Me: I do ! Are you happy?
Paula: yeees! I am very happy !
She turns to Sergio.
Paula: are you its daddy?
Sergio: yes.
Paula: can you become my daddy too?
Oh I can't believe what I just heard!
Sergio: yes I would like. (He said with tears in his eyes)
Paula: so from now on I'll call you daddy.
Sergio is crying. I also cry.
Paula: oh don't cry are you sad because i'm going to call you daddy?
Sergio: no my love this are tears of joy, I'm very happy, that's why I'm crying. Can I hug you ?
Paula: yes dad! (She said throwing herself in his arms)
I take them both in my arms.
Me: my loves, I love you so much!
Both: we love you too.
I hug them.
Oh how happy I am! I've been dreaming of that day for a long time!
