I sat quietly watch the girls and their father outside. Emilia sat on a bench watching her twin tumble with her father. I wasn't sure what to do with myself. So I found myself making my way to my room. I unpack my clothes and rearranged some things.

I was interrupted by my phone ringing. "Hello?"

"You said you'd call back babe" My mom whined. "I was mama" i hummed softly folding my clothes placing then in the drawers. "What are you doing right now?"

"Well, the girls father came back home. They're playing outside. So I'm free for a little."

"Oh good! Tell me about it!"

"Alright"

Mathias

Emilia was still angry with me. "Bebe" I held my hand out to her while holding Lena s hand with my other. We were heading inside. She shook her head a walked a head of us. "È arrabbiata con te " (she's mad at you.) Lena whispered. "What do I do? Aiutami piccola " (Help me out baby)

I followed Milia into the house. i brought them into my office sitting them both on my desk and getting on my knees in front of my gorgeous angels. "Guardami. Look at me" I said then translated. They obeyed "I'm not going to be home for a little while. As you know....Giusto?" (Right?)

"Sì papà " they nodded a reply. "Joanna is going to take good care of you while I'm gone."

I see their eyes light up at her name. "i like miss.Joanna!" Milia's face grew bright. Her mood completely changed.

"She's so pretty! Giusto papà ?! "

I cleared my throat changing the subject. "Daddy..was also thinking. When he comes back. Hannah-Lee can start living with us. "

They frowned "hey hey! I said thinking, I still haven't made a decision yet"

Their faces didn't change. I blew out a sigh, standing up taking them both in my arms. "Non essere infelice. Tutto ciò che papa vuole è che tu sia felice (don't be angry. All Papa wants is for you to be happy)

I kissed their chubby cheeks. "Go on a play now. Daddy has a little more work to do. Call down miss.joanna for me."

I placed them down. They ran out of the room screaming. "Ahhh!" "lenaa!!!"

I shook my head chuckling, closing my door. Silly girls.

Elena

We stunk up to Miss.joannas room peeking inside. "Shhh-" I whispered to Emmy. "Alright momma. I'll call you later tonight. See you....yes....I love you too-"

Em sneezed making miss.joanna look over. "Bye momma" she looked at us. Uh ohhh...

"Hmm." Miss.joanna come over opening her door and bending down. "Bless you. You little peeper...s" She booped our noses. "Daddy wanted to see you!"

"Ah..right. well, thank you little messengers. You go and play, I'll be right back and join you both."

Joanna

The skipped away.

I went into Matthias's office. "Sit. Please."

He told me softly. I sat myself quietly waiting patiently. "When I'm gone. You're expected to cook for my girls, clean after them, and make sure their happy.."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

He eyes me fore a second before continuing. "Their fifth birthday party is coming up. The day after I come back one. You're expected to help arrange that."

"Done."

"Help them if they need help with their work"

I smiled " I doubt they'll need any help. They're very bright."

I caught his gaze unfazed. His lucid blue orbs sadly looked else where. Then, he cleared his throat. "You have the weekends off. Optional if you choose to take it."

I nodded at the expectations and agreed with his terms. The rules, the regulations.

"They're both allergic to tree nuts."

"Noted"

"Do you have any questions...?"

I shook my head standing up. He extended his hand over his desk "thank you sir " I took his hand giving it a firm nod. Ignoring how soft it was.

"I trust you."
