"I know you hate the simple idea of getting married again, but now I'm just talking to you about going out, having a coffee, that's all."Lucia said to me with an exasperated expression.
"And I'm telling you that I'm fine the way I am, listen Thomas is on his nerves right now and my poor Emma... I think his nightmares have started again. On top of that, I'm not going to lie to you, but I've gotten used to this loneliness and I feel great, my children are here and they are everything I need. "I told her while taking a sip of my coffee.
We were both sitting in a cafe having a little chat. We have become accustomed to seeing each other at least once a month to check in on news.
Lucia is one of the people I trust the most. She is my best friend and confidante.
She was there for me in the most difficult moments and I will forever be indebted to her for that. Lucia works as a surgeon, and she is world famous for her theses.She came to me for coffee, but mostly to convince me to go out with one of her friends.
"Chris, you can't use your kids as a shield against a nice night out with a hot chick or a handsome stud, and they're adults now, let them live."She tells me, putting her right hand on mine.
"They may be on earth, but certainly not on Ennayd, I promised their father that I would protect them at the risk of my life and I intend to keep this promise."She looks at me like I'm stupid.
"And I didn't want to tell you to avoid scaring you, but the RSMS is doing its thing again, they had planned to attack Edoshire but they were taken out of classes, so... I have my reasons for staying on my guard right now."She looks at me with big eyes.
"No, but are you kidding..." She is completely stunned.
"I would love to, but it was Adam himself who told me the news, his sister was attacked with her husband during a mission."
"Shit..." She frowns.
"yeah...and for my love life, you need to know that I'm doing very well on my own, but thank you for your concern."I get up from my chair after depositing the money on the table.
"Shall I call you later?"She gets up in turn and kisses me.
"All right, ciao."She smiles at me.

After my coffee with Lucie, I had a few appointments with photographers and stylists before I could go home quietly.
"Oh, there you are."said Angel, getting up from the couch. I lock the door and walk over to him.
"How are you? And your trip, didn't it shake you up too much?"I take him in my arms, and I feel that his stomach is a little rounded.
"Yes, it's okay the trip went well, although I'm not so used to the portals anymore."He responds with a laugh.
"The girls fell asleep in Emma's room and Thomas went out with a friend."He informs me. This kid is really going to drive me crazy, I've noticed that he's been talking less and less since our argument.
"What about your family?"I ask him and we sit on the couch.
"Let's say that the news of the supposed attack has remained secret, so they don't know that we came here for our safety, They think we are for the girls' holidays."He tells me with a smile.
"Your leg, have they found a solution?"
"For now I'm wearing a prosthesis made of stage 2 energy stones, but Adam thinks that someone could help me get my legs back and also for the waves of pain. And then you know, that's not really our priority right now, with everything that's going on
It is not really our priority at the moment, with everything that is happening "" He says, with a thoughtful look.
"And you told him about the baby?"He looks surprised.
"....N-no, not yet. He promised me that he would come for Christmas week, I will tell him at that time."He caresses his belly, smiling.

"So what about your parents? Does it really work?"Frida asks, beating the eggs.
"Honestly, no idea. On the other hand, this woman really has a gift for listening and making you feel at ease. I feel much more relaxed. "
"Um...that's good news. By the way, speaking of good news, I found a cheap hotel for fashion week and I was thinking why not lengthen our stay, just a story of a few more days"
"Okay, If you want."
We were preparing the Christmas dishes in advance, taking advantage of the absence of the children.
"And my in-laws are coming, or they will still make a face like last year and show themselves the day after the party."
Let's say that there are always tensions in the land Frida and her in-laws, they are not mean, but they badly took the chance that their daughter would make her life with another woman or tensions during the festive period.
"Oh don't worry about them, these old things have finally decided to come in peace and after the 26th we will all go together to Disney, It's a surprise for the children. Those two who came up with the idea. They want to spend time with their little children. And you want to come? "
"No, honey. I'm stuck up to my neck, the matriarch has summoned everyone, so my Christmas will be spent in Ivory Coast where it's 32 Ā° even at Christmas."She laughs.
I knew that this holiday at my mother's house was going to be more than chaotic, she had a knack for showing off and these kind of festivities were the perfect excuse to bring the whole family together. I hope with all my heart that my grandmother will be present this woman was a real ray of sunshine.
"Yako (it's going to be okay),as they say." My best friend replies, making fun of me.
