Soulmates or best friends?

chapter 16

Pov Ama:

Seeing Miki like this breaks my heart. I know that he always gives his best and that he only wants the very best for his children. Even if his life wasn't really easy. It's also something completely new for Brando and Markus, they're still small and don't understand it all. But I'm sure they love him more than anything.

We were just as tired as the little ones and fell asleep on the couch. The next morning we were woken up by two little hands. "Papi, Ama good morning. Come on it's time to get up."

fuck...

Miki and I were still together on the couch. While panic broke out in me, miki wakes up calmly.
What should the little one think???

Miki takes him between us and starts talking to the little man. " Good morning little one. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes very well papi. Your bed is so comfortable. But why is Ama still here and why did she sleep with you."

Miki looked at me and smiled. "She was also very, very tired like you. Then she fell asleep here with dad."

He puts his fingers on his chin like he's thinking about it and finally just says "okay papi."

I got up and looked after Brando. He was all under the covers but was awake.

" Good morning little one. How are you?" He turned away from me, I didn't give up. But I can understand him too, he doesn't see Papi very often, now he sees another stranger too. It's all so new to him. I started stroking his head and he let me.

"Little man, I have a plan for today. Daddy told me you love pancakes. How about I make pancakes and we all go out together later. Your brother and daddy are already waiting in the kitchen. Do you want to help me?"

He quickly sat down on the bed and came to me. I sat down next to him and he came on my lap.

"You are such a beautiful girl and nice. Thank you for always coming to me. My stomach is very hungry and I love pancakes so yes yes yes. You know I'm good at baking too. I'll help you. But first I have to go to papi give him a kiss. Oh and you too."
He wraps his hands tightly around my neck and kisses my cheek.
"Little angel. Come let's go to the kitchen."

He hides his head in my hair, I carried him into the kitchen where Markus and Miki were already. I dropped him on the ground and he ran to his father.

"Hello Papi.  You know, Ama and I are making pancakes now."

He looked over at me and grinned.

"Really... then I won't stop you anymore. I'm really hungry and you know I turn into a tickle monster when I'm hungry."

Miki ran towards both children and tickled them. They stride loudly, laughing, and both run behind me. "Ama please please daddy is a tickle monster. We have to bake now."
Miki and I laughed and prepared everything together.

Markus helped Miki set the table, me and Brando were at the stove and made the said pancakes. About 20 minutes later we were all at the table eating. Miki held my hand under the table while the kids faced us.

" Mhhh Ama these are the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Daddy you have to finally ask her. She makes the best pancakes. She is sweet and as beautiful as a princess, you can be her prince.", Brando said cheerfully. Markus said very loudly. "Yes daddy she is a princess and you her prince."

My cheeks turned red straight away and Miki choked on his coffee.

"Brando and Markus let's talk about it later okay?" Miki said in a stricter tone.

Brando looked down and continued eating in silence.

I could see on his face how much he regretted having just said that. "Brando please look at dad."

He slowly looked back up at his father, Miki got up and went to him.

"I'm sorry for talking like that. What dad meant is..." he whispered the rest in his ear and he started to grin again.

The breakfast ended in lots of laughter and then snuggling on the sofa. Markus sat between Miki and me, Brando sat on my lap, they really wanted to watch a movie and we did.

Miki put his arm around me and stroked my shoulder. He gave me a "thank you"  look. We didn't have to say anything, our eyes speak for us. We just enjoyed this moment with these two little angels.

Which I already love more then anything...
