Joanna

8

It was the next morning and I was up pretty early making the girls some breakfast. I was caught off guard when I heard a wail upstairs. I turned the stove off dashing up towards the girls room.

I see Emilia sat up in her bed crying. "Oh sweetheart..what's the matter" I kneeled my her bed. She just rubbed her eyes whimpering. I pulled her a bit closer to me "bad dream?"

She nodded when picked up standing with her in my arms, her head in my neck. "Awe" I cooed rocking her. I went over to Elena shaking her slightly. "Wake up babes. Breakfast time."

"Nooo oatmeal" she whined. "Yes, no oatmeal."

She got out of bed scratching her head. She took my hand walking beside me as we made our way down back to the kitchen. I sat them both in their floating counter chairs. I quickly finished up their food.

They both enjoyed their eggs and sausages. Heavy footsteps came inside the kitchen. "Daddy" Elena cooed to her father who brought his lips to her cheek smothering with kisses before doing the same to Emilia. "Papà tornerà a casa tardi stasera ... Potrei non essere in grado di metterti dentro ... "( Daddy will come home late tonight ... I may not be able to tuck you in tonight...)

I turned away from their conversation not even being able to understand anyway.

"It's okay we have Joanna!"

Mathias

Joanna turned to the sink cleaning her dishes. I noticed she wore her hair up in a tight bun. Her face on full display....damn.

"Papa?" Emilia asked poking my cheek. I blinked before turning to her. Elena Snickered "I'll bring you back a gift. I promise you'll love it"

I pressed another kisses on my angels cheeks before taking my leave.

I have to fly to Europe and deal with bussiness in a few weeks and I hate the idea of leaving my girls but I have no choice. Work is work

Joanna

After breakfast I helped the girls get ready for the day in matching outfits in different colors. They both choose different hair styles. A pony tail for Elena and a bun for Emilia.

I planned to take them to a park today. Cedric helped me get their carseats in my car. Also, insisting on me taking one of Mathias's car which I of course denied. "Well, have fun girls" Cedric hummed helping me buckle them. "Can we have icecream?" Emilia asked him softly.

"You'll have to ask miss.joanna"

"Of course you can. Once we're there and you play for a while."

"Do you need mo-" cedric began

"No" I cut him off. "Thank you. But I got it covered"

He gave me a small smile before nodding and stepping away from the car. I got into the car starting the engine. "Would you guys like to listen to some music?"

I see them nod in my rear view mirrors and turn on the radio. "Probably think that you are-"

"Better now! BeeEEttER nOOw" They girls sang low-key making me cringe and chuckle. We got to the park and the girls were a bit hesitant to play with the other children. "Be careful alright. Make some friends, if you do you'll be able to invite them to your birthday party."

"Ohhh yeah" Emilia hummed. "Let's goooo Lena!"

They ran off to the sandbin. I sat on a bench watching them quietly.

"Is that one yours.?" A lady asked pointing to a little black boy running around...uhm "I'm..uh actually a nanny...To those two girls." I pointed to the twins.

She glued her lips together. I didn't really know how to feel, so I switched benches "God." A guy sat with a sigh.

I stayed quiet watching a boy go up the girls. Silently hoping he wouldn't talk to me.

"Hey there." He said towards me. Damn it.

"Hi"

I turned to him. He was fairly cute, glasses, ruffled dark hair, freckles. The whole white boy dork package, "I couldn't help but notice you sitting all alone. Husband at work?"

"Ha..Don't have one."

"Boyfrien-" "Daddy!" A little boy came crashing into the guys legs. "Junior" he sighed picking up the boy. "You're a father?"

"Best job in the world." He picked up the boy sitting him on his lap. "I'm Quince." The guy said. "Me too!" His son cooed towards me. "He's also Quincy with a Y"

"Well, hello quince (y) s"

"I'm also single- by the way" he mumbled under his breath setting his son down who ran off. "And I'm Joanna. Very nice to meet you"
