twenty-one.

present.

THE THREE DAYS went by quickly and to say that Leo and Antonella were excited to see Emily once again was an understatement. Leo and Antonella both sat their boys down to talk to them about a visitor coming to visit them and told them that it was their sister.

of course they didn't understand , so they just assumed that it was Antonella and Leo's child so the adults just left it up to their imagination.

while Leo had told Luis and Xavi about the situation , Antonella had gotten a room ready for Emily in Barcelona by a designer.

now , Leo , Antonella and Jorge drove to the Hidalgo's household where they always lived all the years.

Antonella told Luis's wife — Sofi— that they were going to bring Emily to Barcelona and Sofi immediately thought that Emily and her daughter — Delfina— will get along well.

"still their old house?" Leo asked and Jorge nodded his head. "yes , after all these years" Jorge said.

they stopped in front of a brown double story house. they all climbed out of the car and walked up to the front door.

the door was opened by David who smiled at them. "hello , come on in" he said. they all entered the house and as soon as they did , Leo got a wave of nostalgia hit him right in the gut.

he remembered how he and Valentina would spend the Sunday afternoons eating vanilla ice cream in the living room. or how they played catch in the hallway.

he looked away and cleared his throat. Louise and Emily came from down the stairs with some suitcases.

"oh...h-hello" Emily said shyly as she looked at the three people. "hi Emily. are you...ready to go?" Leo asked and Emily nodded her head.

"is that all the suitcases?" he asked and she nodded her head. she only had four suitcases so she didn't have to carry a lot of clothes.

Antonella made a mental list to take her clothes shopping. Emily glanced at the woman who gave her a bright smile.

"hi , I'm Antonella...call me Anto" she said and Emily slightly smiled , surprised by her nice attitude.

"hi" she said and shook Antonella's hand. "and i'm Jorge , Leo's dad" Jorge said and shook her hand too.

"so, let's go?" Leo asked and Emily nodded her head. they took the four suitcases down towards the car and they all stepped outside.

Emily hugged her grandparents and kissed them all on the cheeks. tears were brimming in her eyes. "mi mancherai molto."  she said , surprising them by speaking Italian.

David had come from a Italian family , so he and Louise knew a bit of Italian. "anche noi, principessa" he said and kissed her head.

"non dimenticare di chiamarci quando sei a Barcellona, ok?" David said and she nodded her head. "love you guys" she said and Louise gave her a tight squeeze.

"we love you too" she said and Emily waved at them before clombing into the back of the car and shutting the door.

"buckle up" Leo said and Emily put the buckle around herself. they drove away and Emily saw her grandparents wave at her as they disappear into the streets.
