Sandwich [ Wong Yukhei ]

Nineteen

a/n: hello, everyone. i know it's been a while since i last updated. school has been hard and stressful, and i really didn't have the time to write. i hope you understand.

He started to open the dim sum and the comforting scent of dumplings immediately filled the room. "Your mother wants you to call her," I said, looking at my rings. 

"I'll call her, later." he replied. He prepared Luna's food. "I'll wake her up," I said as I stood up. "No, I'll do it. I'll feed her," he said. 

"You eat, Catalina." he said. I just sat down and took a plate and had some dumplings. He gently shook Luna and she woke up. 

"Luna, food's here," he said. Luna yawned and started eating her food. "Can you please cut the meat for me daddy?" Luna said. 

I was just looking at them in awe. I was so happy for Luna that she finally gets to spend time with her dad. She looks genuinely happy. 

"Baby, I was meaning to ask you something," Yukhei said while holding Luna's other hand.

 "Would you like to go with me to Dubai this weekend?" he said. 

"Is mommy coming with us?" Luna asked.

 "Of course, dear your mother will be coming with us. So what do you say?" Before Luna spoke I immediately said, "I don't think I can go, I still have a lot to catch up on the office," I replied. 

"But mommy," 

"My dear, I still have things to do," I replied. 

"Catalina, why don't you cancel those first? It's your daughter's first holiday with her father," Yukhei butted in.

 "Alright, I'll see what I can do," I replied and sighed. I wanted to go, since I know Luna wants to hang out with her father.

It has been a few days since Luna got discharged from the hospital. Today is the day we leave for Dubai. "Mommy, is it going to be fun in Dubai?" Luna asked. 

"Yes, my love you're going to love it there." I replied. Luna just hummed in reply and continued playing with her iPad. We were waiting for him to pick us up to go to the airport. Luna and I are already settled in the house I bought a few weeks ago.

 I was busy scrolling through my emails when I heard Yukhei's car pull up in the driveway. It was his Range Rover. I called Luna. 

"Luna, your dad's here." I said. She stood up from her seat and placed her iPad inside her backpack. 

I opened the door and I saw a bunch of cars at my driveway. "You didn't have to bring an entire community with you," I said.

 "It's security, Catie. I can't risk my daughter," he said, and took my purse off my grip, and opened the back seat of his car. 

What on earth did he call me? Catie? I just froze there and thought about it for a good minute. Luna came out of the house. 

"Daddy!!" She said as she ran into Yukhei's arm. "Hi, my dear how are you?" he said as he picked her up. 

"I'm doing good, I'm very excited too," she replied and giggled.

 "Alright, let's get you strapped in," he said and opened the car door. I opened the door to the front seat and got inside. He got in the car and started driving. 

"I forgot to tell you that we aren't flying private today," he said. "My father's using the jet and the other two are in maintenance. I hope that's alright with you," 

"It's alright. I'm already used to flying commercial." I replied, looking outside the window.

We were almost near the airport when he got a call from Neil. "Yes, Neil what is it?" he asked. "How on earth did they know?" he said. 

What on earth is going on? "Alright. Tell security to be ready." he said and ended the call. "Is everything alright?" I asked him. 

I was concerned. "Paparazzi is waiting for us at the airport," he said. "What the hell do they want again?" I said in frustration. They are always following us around and it's very annoying. Don't they know what personal space is? 

We eventually go to the airport, and Yukhei parked the car. He got off, and opened the door for me, and opened the back door to get Luna. 

The media is definitely getting lots of money after these pictures. Yukhei and I haven't been photographed in a while and suddenly pictures of us with our daughter come out.

 Yukhei carried Luna in his arms as he gave me my purse. I ensured that I had Luna's passport and mine inside. "I'm scared," I heard Luna say. "It's going to be alright, Luna," I said as I pat her back. 

"Sir, Madam let's get moving," his bodyguards said. As if on cue, camera flashes started flashing in front of our faces. Luna just hid her face in her father's shoulder.

"Catalina why did you hide your pregnancy?"

"Is it true that you moved abroad for a couple of years?"

So many questions were being asked and we just all ignored them. We eventually got inside the airport and checked ourselves in. 

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Luna said. We are now inside the lounge, waiting for our flight. "Luna you just had a snack," I replied.

 I know already where this is going. "But I want ice cream." she replied. "You can't eat ice cream my love, you already had candy a while ago," I said in a calm tone.

 "But mommy please?" she said and looked at me with puppy eyes. "No, my dear. We're almost boarding the plane," I said. Luna was getting cranky so she started to cry. I just let her be, she'll eventually get a hold of herself after. 

"Luna what's wrong?" Yukhei asked. 

He went to the restroom and just got back. "I want ice cream, but mommy won't let me have some," she said. He looked at me and I just raised my eyebrow at him. 

"What did your mom say?" He asked her. 

"She said that I already had candy so I can't have ice cream," Luna said. I just smiled at her, because she looks so cute. 

"You have to listen to your mommy, Luna." Yukhei said and carried her. He sat down beside me.

 "Do me a favor, please," He said. "What is it?" I replied, putting my phone down. "Take a photo of me and Luna," He said as he gave his phone to me. 

"Alright," I replied as I took his phone. 

"Luna, let's take a picture," he said, and Luna looks at the camera. He smiled widely as he carried our daughter. That's where it hit me.

I found my yellow again. It's him and our daughter.
