"Emilia!" Maya called out as she ran out of Nathaniel's office, her heart pounding against her chest. "Max!"
"Maya, what's wrong?" Emilia asked as she stepped out of the kitchen with Gabriel in her arms.
Her son was safe, Maya told herself as she reached out for the little boy.
"Mommy, are you okay?" he asked as he tugged at his Aunt Emilia, telling her to put him down on the floor.
Her little son was such a tiny gentleman, she was certain Nathaniel had told him not to demand to be carried everywhere, especially by his pregnant mother.
"Where is Alyssa?" Maya asked Emilia as she knelt and hugged Gabriel.
"Maya, you're scaring me," Emilia said as she looked at the woman with worry.
"Emilia, where is Alyssa," Maya said, repeating herself.
"Maya, are you okay?" Max asked as he joined them in the kitchen.
"I just got off the phone with Nathaniel," she said as Alyssa joined them.
