Marla pulled away from his kiss seeing his pleading eyes. He totally wants to do it on the beach. She thought to herself. But my feet hurt really bad. And I’m tired.”Bruno….my feet hurt…” she looked down at her feet in bright yellow flip-flops that had exploded into giant’s feet because of the long flight. He followed her eyes trying not to laugh at her pain. She shoved him hard making him almost fall over. ”Don’t laugh! You did it to me!”
He regained his footing handing her the towel that was around him to her to dry her off. ”Let’s go inside. I’ll fix your feet.” he told her picking her up carefully making her laugh.
”Be careful, Bruno.” she told him laughing as he carried her up the stairs to his mother’s house. He grabbed the door walking into the house stopping in the back living room not seeing anyone in the house.
”Where is everyone?” he asked looking at her.
”I don’t know.” she responded hearing her daughter’s laugh in the front of the house. ”Oh…”she pointed to the front of the house as he continued to hold onto her walking to the front of the house. ”You can put me down now…”
”Nope. The best way to fix your feet is to keep them up like this.” he told her seeing his daughter run to them wearing new dry clothes with messy brown hair flying all over.
”Is mom okay? She didn’t fall did she?” Rosie asked concerned.
”I’m fine honey.” she answered as Bruno put her down on the couch next to Lisa putting pillows near her feet.
”There…” Bruno told her triumphantly with a smile.
”Mar…your feet are huge. Did you move at all on the plane?” Lisa asked.
”You were with us…Rosie fell asleep on me. I didn’t move.” Marla answered. ‘
”Oh honey…I bet they hurt.” Lisa answered.
”They do.” Marla said sadly see Rosie run out into the room wearing her grandmother’s slippers.
”Look mama…I have feet like yours.” Rosie answered.
”Oh goodness…” everyone started laughing at her.
”What?” she asked confused by them turning around to see her father walking out in slippers himself.
”Check it out…now I have sympathy shoes.” he said pointing to the shoes making everyone laugh even more.
”Oh god…I’m laughing so hard it hurtsssss….” Marla gasped through the tears falling down her cheek from laughing.
”Don’t hurt yourself, Marla!” Bruno said running to her laying his head on her.
”Oh….oh….Bruno….” she moved her hand to his hair pushing his head to the side of her stomach. ”Rosie…come over here, mija….” Rosie waddled over in the slippers. Marla tok her daughter’s hand placing it near Bruno’s hand. ”Do you feel that Rosie?”
”What is that, momma?” she asked.
”It’s one of the babies…” Bruno answered seeing Rosie’s eyes widen. making him smile.
”It’s Dexter…” Rosie answered. ”But where’s Dora?” she asked.
”Marla moved her free hand forgetting that the rest of the family was there. ”There she is…she’s sleeping, Rosalia….”
”What? A boy and a girl?” Tiara exclaimed sitting across from them.
”Shoot.” Marla sighed in defeat seeing Bruno’s eyes light up.
”Well, come on..come and feel the babies…” Marla told everyone who suddenly started crowding around it. It’s not like these are the first babies ever in this family. Geez. She thought to herself as she felt hands all over her stomach.

Dear Marla,
Today we arrived in Hawaii. It’s so beautiful here. But, the most beautiful part of it is that I have you and Rosie and the other babies with me. Today we felt them kick for the first time. Everyone felt them. It was so amazing. I remember the first time I felt Rosie kick. I had just come back from Europe and you were dancing in your apartment packing things and doing homework. I guess she really liked OneRepublic because she started kicking while we were singing The Good Life. Marla, she was right. This is a good life. I love you.
Bruno
