"Gabriela...just let me help up." Zach sighs.
"I got this, just sit down."She brushes him off.
"Gabriela...please."He insisted.
"Fine...season the chicken please."
Zach complies.
"Hey hey...Belle wants to see it." Jack chimes in.
"Sure...Belle you wanna see momma or Zach?"
"Zach...i wanna see if he's gonna be a good cook." She smiles.
Zach chuckles.
"Sir I don't mind picking her up if you have something to do."
"Babe set the table please." He nods.
Zach cleans his hands and picks Belle up.
"Go ahead." He smiles.
Jack nods.
"Okay girly...you're gonna be my professional grabber okay? But first let's wash our hands."
Zach lifts her sleeves and they both wash their hands.
The brunet sits her down on the island they had and grabs a bunch of spices and sets a bowl with the chicken next to the girl.
"Okay cutie are you ready?"
She nods.
"Okay...get me the oregano please...its the dark green lid."
She grabs it.
"Thank you."
Zach keeps on telling her spices and she hands it to him.
"Now what?" She asks curiously .
"Now we mix....like this." He starts doing it slowly.
"Can I help?"
"Sure thing sweetie." Zach grabs her hands and shows her how to do it slowly.
"It sounds slimey."She cringes.
They chuckle.
Gabriela and Jack were looking at the scene fondly.
She looks at Jack and points at Zach.
He nodded, as if he didn't care.
She had a feeling that Belle would like Zach very much.
"Okay cutie now that this is done, we gotta wash our hands...so lemme wash mine and I'll help you up."
"My nose is itchy." She scrunches up her nose.
"It's just for a little bit hun." Zach says as he washes his hands thoroughly.
"Oh now my cheek is itchy..." She giggles.
Zach dries his hands and picks her up.
"Okay okay...you'll scratch it in a bit...hands."
He helps the little girl wash her hands.
Zach sits her back down and dries her hands.
"There we go...scratch all you want."
The girl laughs.
"Okay...the pasta is almost ready and then it's the chicken so that'll be fast so do you want anything Zach?"
"No please, I'm fine." He smiles.
Belle starts playing with his hands.
"Do you drink wine Zach?"
"Only on special occasions." He fixes Belle's hair.
