"Aya! Aya!" Arsenio said to Bruce and Adriana.
The three of them had eaten breakfast in bed, and Alfred has just come in to clear away the dishes.
"It's Saturday," Adriana said. "Don't you want to spend it with me and your Daddy?"
"An Aya!" Arsenio said. "Aya too!"
"Alright then, I will call them and see if we can visit," Bruce said and Arsenio gave him a kiss.
"Coh!" Arsenio said. "Peeees!"
"Now?" Bruce asked and Arsenio nodded.
Adriana laughed and handed Bruce her phone. Arsenio picked up the last grape from the plate Alfred was clearing away. He put the grape to Adriana's lips, and she ate it and kissed his forehead.
"Thank you, my sweet baby," Adriana said as she chewed the grape. "Thanks Alfred."

"I'm pretty sure they're speaking their own language," Adriana said as Arsenio talked to Aymara.
"Oh, yes," Sidi agreed and then looked at Adriana. "Well, aren't you looking happy."
"I am happy," Adriana said with a smile and shifted on the couch to pull her cell phone out of her back pocket. "Oh..."
"You look excited now," Bruce said.
"Heists are my favorites," Adriana whispered in his ear and stood and kissed Bruce quickly. "I'll be back soon."
"Mommy!" Arsenio said as she kissed his cheek.
"I will be right back," she told him.
"Bye, Mommy!" he said.
"Bye bye, my love," she said.
As soon as she was gone Arsenio and Aymara began talking again. Sidi looked at them with wide eyes as they conversed.
"When will I be used to it," Sidi said to Bruce. "One year old having a conversation."
"I'm still not used to it," Bruce said.
"Ahtootoo!" Arsenio said, trying to pronounce a word Aymara said.
"Altitude," Aymara said. They were talking about planes, Arsenio's newest obsession.
"Atood!" he said.
"Bravo," Aymara laughed.
"Sidi," Bruce said under his breath to Sidi. "Do you have a moment?"
Sidi kept looking ahead at Aymara and Arsenio. Bruce saw her eyes open a bit wider and the rest of her expression didn't change. She looked annoyed. Then she turned to Bruce and stood up.
Bruce followed her into the dining room, and she shut the sliding bamboo door behind them and then they walked over to the kitchen. Sidi stopped in the doorway.
"Hm?" she said and crossed her arms.
"Wow..." Bruce said. "Such inviting body language."
Sidi rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen. She began to pour coffee from the coffee maker into a mug.
"Adriana is very happy, and so am I," Bruce said and she walked over to the refrigerator to get cream.
"I can see that," Sidi said.
"Things are great," Bruce said to her. "She's happy."
"Things are well," Sidi said. "Good to hear. So, what do you want?"
