"Junior do you need help with that" Catalina asked to the little boy who was struggling to tie his shoe laces.

The party of three were currently preparing to make their way out into the streets of Madrid but unfortunately one of them took longer than the others. Surprisingly it wasn't Catalina who despite only staying for a few days brought several suitcases of outfits, but instead it was Cris who took a whopping 30 minutes to shower. While Lina did take extensive showers it was never that long, but it amused her greatly seeing him style his hair different way before compromising on gelling his curls similar to hers and his son's.

With them going out in Madrid they were bound to be caught by paparazzi which she tried to delay by wearing a big hat and sunglasses when she goes out. Hopefully it could by them sometime before they were swarmed by cameras but to be on the safer side they grabbed their security guards.

"Yes please" sitting on the floor as his short legs wouldn't reach her, she doubled knotted the laces so they wouldn't come undone for the day

"Does your Pai always take this long to get ready" she asked a concentrated Junior who watched her very move to practice later on with his other shoe.

"Yes vovó says with how long he takes to get ready she may as well had all girls" he giggled at the last part knowing it was true.

"I don't even think most girls take the long" giggling along with him they were only silenced when Cris made his appearance.

"What's so funny" with a raised eyebrow he questioned them which made them straighten up.

"Nothing let's go" reaching up for his hand for assistance on getting up he used to much force which made her go stumbling into his chest.

"You look beautiful" he went in for a kiss but was blocked by her hat.

"Here let me help" adjusting her face so her hat would be angled away from his she reached up and gave him a quick peck.

"That's not a real kiss" complaining was his specialty when it came to her affection.

"It's a real kiss when there are kids in the room" nodding to Junior who was currently busy packing up his backpack with essentials he need for todays outing she heard him complain under his breath.

"Fine it will do for right now" grabbing his car keys off the table he reached a hand out for Junior to grab and the other was steady on leading Lina out with it being delicately placed on her lower back.

"Where's Lina" Pep asked as he noticed the usual goofball missing from the stands.

"She's probably changing to join us for practice" said Marc as he glanced at her usual group of boys and noticed them being uncharacteristically quiet.

After a few minutes of waiting practice started and occasionally some of the boys and even coaching stuff would look back at the tunnel expecting to see the curly headed Argentine making their way through. Guilt started to eat away at certain individuals as they realized she was sticking to her formers words and they weren't just said out of anger. Mid way through practice Pep finally asked the question everyone was dying to know.
