After a delightful weekend with Reign and his family, we were back home.

The kids were back to school and I was back at the diner. I have a lot of shifts to make up and Jorge actually missed me.

Xiomara ended up telling me she was staying a bit longer in France with Kol. Just to figure out things that she wanted. To be sure that she was making the right choice. But also to apologize for bailing on the last day of the trip.

Apparently Kol wouldn't let her out of his sight, which makes sense on why Reign took over.

They both knew what they were doing.

I go to a new table, and I see Hailey along with Matthew and Gabriel.

I smile as I hug her. Her stomach has grown over some time.

"I missed you, sorry I wasn't reaching out as much. My phone was far from me" I say.

She nods and hugs me back.
"I miss you and everyone else. How was France?".

Gabriel looks at me closely.
"It was amazing".

She smiles.
"I had fun with Reign and the kids. It was needed".

She nods.
"I need to go next time with you guys".

Gabriel interrupts.
"Oh yeah definitely. A Guzmán and Hernandez trip. Just the Guzmans and Hernandez of course".

Of course he would exclude Reign.

"Well actually, I would prefer if Hailey just came. It's enough already" I say.

He smirks.
"Hailey is carrying a Hernandez, anywhere she goes with that baby so do we".

I stay quiet.

Hailey interrupts.
"Anyway, I want to visit home. See Rachel, Nate and Mal.. even Miguel".

I smile.
"I want you home as well. It was hard when you first left, but a visit is needed".

She nods.

"Also, you're growing a lot already" I point to her stomach.

She smiles and rubs her stomach.
"Yeah... also it's a boy".

Woah. Rare.

It's always a girl first, but it will be good to have more boys in the family.

"That's amazing Hailey, congratulations to you and Matthew" I say to both of them.

He nods and she looks at me.
"Also, your birthday is coming up Elle, you're turning 20".

I nod.
"And you are turning 18, weird how this is our first birthdays not together".

She laughs.
"Weird honestly but I hope we can celebrate our birthdays together soon".

I nod.
"I want us too as well".
