thirty - four.

present .

EMILY SAT ON the couch with Ciro in her arms. when she heard he had a feaver , she had been protective of him ever since and pampered him to death. Anto and Leo just smiled as Ciro was enjoying all the attention.

"how are you feeling?" Emily asked softly in Ciro's ear and he gave her a wide smile. "bien" he replied and Emily smiled and kissed his forehead.

she starts school on Monday. she was excited but also nervous. everyone knows who she is and she will be treated differently , but atleast Delfina would be there.

Leo walked into the house with his teammates Gerard and Robert trailing behind him. he kissed both Emily and Ciro on the forehead.

"how are my loves?" he asked. "Ciro's doing much better and so am i" Emily said with a smile.

"hi" she waved to the other two who waved and gave her huge smiles.

"i don't think we met at the party , i'm Robert" he said and Emily shook his hand. "Emily" she answered.

Leo looked around. "where's the others?" he asked and put his bag on the couch.

"Anto took Mateo and Thiago with her to the gym." Emily said and Ciro sunk deeper into her arms , seeking her warmth.

"ah , already warming up to you" Gerard said and Emily smiled as she looked at her younger brother.

"i think he's doing it for attention. which is fine , cause he's a cutie" Emily said and kissed his hair.

"Luis will be here soon and so will Sofi and Delfina. she wanted to spend time with you" Leo said and Emily nodded her head with a smile.

Delfina became her only and closest friend here ever since Emily came to Barcelona.

Leo , Gerard and Robert went to the backyard , having a blast and waiting on Luis.

"Em..." Ciro trailed off. "yeah?" she asked , eyeing him. "i'm hungry" he said in a cute voice and Emkly kissed his forehead.

"want chicken pie?" she asked and watched as his face scrunched up and he shook his head.

"hmm ,then what do you want to eat?" she asked. "uhmm , maybe some...ice cream?" he asked with a sheepish look.

Emily shook her head with a smile on her lips. Ciro used his cuteness to get his way everytime.

"how can i say no? come on , let's go get some" Emily said and walked to the kitchen with a small Ciro behind her.

she picked him up in her arms and placed him on the counter. he swayed his legs back and forth as he waited patiently for the ice cream.

Emily opened the freezer and started looking for some ice cream. she came across some vanilla ice cream and pulled it out before setting it on the table.

"strawberries?" she asked and his face lit up. he nodded his head. "and honey , por favor" he said and Emily almost melted.

he had her wrapped around his little finger.

she took out to bowls and put the ice cream and strawberries before pouring honey over it.

Ciro gratefully took the bowl and Emily carefully took him on her arms and out him down. she grabbed her own and followed Ciro to the livingroom where they watched Regular Show for the upteenth time.

"Rigby is me" Ciro would say with an excited smile as he ate the goodness on his spoon.

a sound of a car's engine were heard outside before it stopped.

Luis , Sofi and Delfi walked inside. Emily stood up and gave them all a quick hug.

"you're getting more beautiful everyday" Sofi compimented her. "thank you , Sofi" she answered.

"give me some" Delfina said and took the bowl out of her hands. "Delfi , manners" Luis told his daughter.

"what?" Delfina walked away from them and enrered the living room.

"Anto is still at the gym and Leo is in the back" Emily said and Luis thanked her before walking to the back where theothers were.

"you look so much like Leo" Sofi said and Emily smiled at the statement. "i'll go and call Anto to see where she is at. you guys enjoy okay?" Sofi said with the sweetest smile and walked out of the livingroom.

Emily found Delfi and Ciro on the couch. "so...what's up with you and Enzo?" Delfi bluntly asked , eating the ice cream.

upon hearing his name , Emily blushed a deep red which didn't go unnoticed by Delfina. "n-nothing. don't be stupid" Emily said and sat next to Ciro who was focused on the show.

he hadn't texted her after last night when he asked her number and that bummed her out a little.

"oh come on , i know it's nothing" Delfi smirked as she ate the ice cream. "what's up with you and junior?" Emily asked with a raised brow causing Delfina's smirk to fall off her face , a scowl replacing it instead.

"ugh don't even mention him around me" she said which caused Emily to chuckle.

the front door opened and Anto , Thiago and Matek walked in , and smiled at them. "hi Delfi" Anto said and the girl smiled.

"hi tia Anto. mom is in the kitchen" Delfi said and Anto made her way to her best friend.

"no fair , i want ice cream too" Thiago said with a pout , causing Emily to smile. "come on , big boy. let's get you some" she said and walked with him to the kitchen where the older women already sat.

as Emily was scooping some ice cream into Thiago's bowl , Sofi started some conversation. "so Emily , i saw you and Enzo last night"

Emily looked up at the mention of his name and when she saw the smirks on their faces , she got red.

"y-yeah. he was nice" she said and put the rest of the ice cream away.

"Anto said he asked for your number" she said again and Emily shook her head. "to play ask me questions to know me better" she said , giving the women pointed looks.

"yeah i bet that's all it was" Anto said as Emily exited the room and Emily smiled and shook her head at the women.

she entered the kitchen. "your phone vibrated. don't worry , i didn't look" Delfina said and Emily walked over to the couch to see and unknown number.

opening it , she smiled like a chesire cat as she read the message.

unknown.
