When the babies were one month old, Malvina decided to go home.

-Mom, stays longer. - Tamara said hugging her - I got used to you here.

-Daughter, you know I can't. I have to go back to work, my vacation is over.

-The children will miss you too.

-And I'll miss them. But I promise you that I will come to visit you more often. And I want you to take the children to my house too.

-We will take them, yes. - Malvina hugged - Thanks for everything, mom.

-You are welcome, daughter. Mama loves you.

-I'll walk you to the door, Malvina. - Irene said.

They got out and, before leaving, Malvina said:

-Irene, I'm worried about Tam. I'm afraid she'll be sorry I'm leaving.

-I will not deny that I am afraid too. It's just that she got used to you here from day one. But I'll keep an eye on her. If I notice anything different, I will contact her psychologist.

-Thank you very much for taking care of my daughter. I'm sure she's in good hands with you.

-No problem. I do everything for her. She's my life. The least I can do is love her as much as she loves me. And they have never loved me so much before. Tamara is everything to me.

-It's beautiful to see how emotive you are when you talk about her. - Malvina hugged Irene - I'll miss you too. I like you very much, daughter.

-I like you to. Thanks for helping us these days.

-No problem. Well let me go, I still need to stop by Gaia's house before the trip.

-Send her a hug and tell her we're waiting for her here tomorrow.

-OKAY. Goodbye, Irene.

-Goodbye. Good trip.

-Thanks.

Irene returned to the bedroom and found Tamara lying down, crying.

-Hey, what is? - Irene sat on the bed and ran a hand through Tamara's hair - Don't cry, love.

-Sorry, love. I do not know what happened. - Tamara wiped away her tears - I'll just wash my face and come back right away to take care of the babies.

-You can go calm, now they are going to sleep a lot.

-And if they wake up?

-I'm here.

-OKAY. I go there.

Tamara went to the bathroom and started crying again. After a while, she heard a baby grumbling, took a deep breath, washed her face, and returned to the bedroom.

-What happened?

-Nothing, love. Noah who must have dreamed of something. But he's already gone back to sleep.

-You can go now, I'll stay with them.

-Go where?

-I don't know. Do something.

-I have nothing to do but take care of my children.

-But it's my obligation.

-I have to help too.

-And you are not going back to work?

-Of course not. I'm on leave, as agreed.

-I don't know if you need it, I'm going to have to stay without work anyway.
