Upon arriving at the Randale residency everyone went up to their respective rooms, organised their belonging before they start working.
"Guys since it's my last night here before heading back home what do you want to eat? I'll go and buy" asked Leo as he walks into the TV room while everyone lounging and relaxing.
Sharon quickly chime in;
"I'll take Italian food,"
"Me too," said Luka while continuing to watch the horror film.
"Me three," said Anna quickly,
"Me four" continued William,
"Me seven" added Karol,
"What happens with numbers 5 and 6?"
"I skip them, for Sharon and Jason" tease Karol.
"Okay, I get it, Italian food for tonight," said Leo while rolling his eyes at them all who burst out laughing.
"But, on second thought I don't feel like having Italian food tonight," teasing Karol again.
"Okay, Italian it is"
Leo replied more to himself as he walks out of the room leaving a bunch of jokesters who laughing their asses off.
45 minutes later, Leo arrived with taking away Italian food as everyone headed over to the dining room, they eat, talking and had a normal conversation.
The very next day as Karol drives Leo to the airport they have a casual brother-sister conversation. As soon as they stop right in front of the airport terminal gate Karol looked at him and said;
"Don't get so nervous, okay, I'll be coming this weekend with the others so don't drop hints or else it won't be a surprise,"
"Phew, it's going to be hard but I will try my best" reply Leo as he shows his biceps.
"Silly brother, anyway, have a safe flight,"
"Bye and thank you, sissy"
Karol then zoomed out from the airport and head over to the daycare picking Luka, Keira and Lex before she heads back home.
"Mummy, mummy," said Luka as soon as he enters the car.
"Yes, baby boy"
Out of the blue, Luka looked at his mother full of anticipation as he asked;
"When can I meet my daddy?"
Karol was taken aback by the sudden unexpected question as she slightly stutter while asked;
"Wh-why baby boy"
In his innocent voice, he said; "There's this boy, he keeps on asking me if I don't have a daddy".
"Oh baby boy, your daddy still have some work to do that's why it's hard to see him,"
"When will I ever meet daddy?"
"Soon baby boy, you'll meet him soon"
"Okay mummy,"
Lex who was there quickly spill;
"Aunty there's this boy jealous of Luka because he has a beautiful mummy, so he disturbs Luka by asking where is his father, why is it always his mother who come and pick us up"
"Really Lex? Who is he? Your classmate?"
"Yes aunty, he's our classmate,"
Karol then explains and tell them not to be bothered by those question as she tries to make them think of a suitable answer to respond to this type of person as they head home straight while diverting his attention with other things.
Later that night the family gather and talked about their plans and arrangements for their short weekend trips. On Friday night the Randale and Salvatore's head over to Aspen Clan as they witness the unexpected engagement and wedding of Leo and Lovel.
It was a fun celebration weekend for all of them as they celebrate with wine and feast that fit for a king and queen.
"I'm super proud of you Leo," said Karol as she hugs Leo then she turn to hug Lovel as she said; "And Lovel welcome to the family" while both of them said their thanks to her.
"Now I need to find my baby boy who is probably around here somewhere disturbing others,"
They parted ways as Karol in search of his baby boy in which she spotted him playing with the other kids in the playroom inside the mansion. The moment Luka spotted his mother's scent, he quickly turn with his puppy eyes;
"Mummy, give me 10 minutes more please" he pleaded.
"You naughty and cute boy, okay. I'll come back and by then all of you need to stop playing games okay. It's almost 11 pm, surpass your bedtime"
Said Karol to her baby boy and to the other kids too who look at her full of respect as they nod their heads obeying her instruction. Karol then head over back to the party was in full motion but before she could reach her destination she felt a sharp pain in her chest area.
It was as if someone slightly and quickly punches her on the chest in which make her clutch her chest before she calms herself down and continues to walk over to the party.
One of the werewolf warriors who was near her that saw her pain quickly asked;
"You okay madam?"
In her cheeky manner, she replied; "Yes, yes. I'm okay, was having a little too much booze tonight" before she walk away from him and over to her family who was talking and laughing while mingling with the others.
"Mummy daddy, where's Sharon,"
"She's at the house baby girl with Jason because Keira was being fussy"
"Ah, okay. I'll just head over there for a breather okay" said Karol as she pointed at the forest.
"Okay baby girl and be careful"
Karol then walks over to the entrance of the forest that was near to them and she takes her seat by one of the trees. She then closes her eyes enjoying the night breeze, the laughter, the music and just embrace the whole calm moment that she rarely has.
It was as if she was alone in that place wrapping in her bubble while thinking about her happiness which is her family but her peace moment was interrupted by Luka as he mind linked his mother;
'Mummy, where are you,'
'I'm out in the backyard enjoying the breeze here baby boy, are you okay?'
With his cute tone he whines; 'Mummy, I'm sleepy,' while yawning through their mind link.
Karol smiled at her son's cuteness as he knows that he will get tired due because of his surpassing his bedtime. She stand up from her spot and walk over towards the mansion as she said;
'Of course, you are baby boy, give mummy a few minutes I'm coming'
As she was walking over to the playroom, Brian called her out; "Karol," as they meet halfway right in the middle of the living room area.
"Brian you don't need to follow me you know and I saw you keeping an eye on me the whole time. Yes, I know and no, I won't be in any harm so don't over-think"
Said Karol as they both headed towards the game room while Brian replied;
"I can't help it because I don't want history to repeat itself,"
"It's been like what, a few years ago Brian, you need to forget it,"
"I won't"
Both of them walk over to the sleeping Luka by the side of the room, as he cutely sleeps on top of the sofa, before Karol picks him up, Brian quickly does so as he expertly carries the sleeping Luka without waking him up.
As soon as they entered Karol's old bedroom Karol said; "Thank you Brian and I brought you here not for you to take care of us but to have a relax time for yourself," in which he replied;
"I know and this is relaxing for me" as he lay Luka down.
"Thank you for your help Brian and good night,"
Karol slightly pushes Brian out of the room, turn towards the bathroom with slight damp clothes with a small bucket of warm water then grab his new pyjamas out from his luggage then starts to wipe his body first before she changes him.
