Remember || VegasPete

Part 4

Alex usually woke up before his wife and this time was the same. He's been awake for quite a while, just admiring the beautiful girl lying next to him. He brushed the bangs off of her face, softly not to wake her up, but she was a light sleeper, so she started slightly shifting.

"Sorry did I wake you up?" He whispered softly into her ear.

"Mh, no it's fine." She responded with a raspy voice and opened her eyes.

"How long have you been awake and staring?" She continued.

"I wasn't staring, I was just admiring my beautiful wife." He denied.

"Na, na, wake up." Venice came running into the room. Alex pouted cause he disturbed his time with Aspen and pulled her closer to him.

"I'm awake, baby. What's up?"

"Let's go see pa." He climbed up on the bed.

"Venice it's to early, he's probably still asleep." She tried to argue, but that was kind of hard since he really was a mini replica of Vegas.

"No, I wanna see pa and dada." He objected.

"Venice go bug Macau will you." Alex stated pulling Aspen even closer.

"Don't be so rude to him." Aspen elbowed him in the stomach.

"Okay Venice, let's go, but we need to change and eat first." She continued and tried to get up.

"No, I'm not letting you go just yet, it's too early." Alex whined.

"Alex let go." She struggled and eventually got out of his grasp.

Venice followed his aunt around the house. He was right behind her, everywhere she went. First she helped him get dressed and than dressed herself. And then they went into the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Aspen was cutting an apple for Venice as Macau walked in.

"Good morning." He greeted happily and went over to the couch where Venice was playing.

"What going on? Why are you so happy this early in the morning?" She asked her brother.

"It's nothing really, I'm just happy that all three of you are okay." He responded.

"No, no I can see that there's something else going on. Spill."

"Uh, fine. I'm going on a date." He announced, blushing just a little.

"What? Wait, do I know them?" She put the apple pieces onto a plastic plate and took it to Venice, who didn't mind them talking.

"No, you don't know him and you mustn't tell anybody, even P'Pete. Although he would be happy for me, but I don't want Hia to find out just yet."

"Macau there's something that I need to tell you." She said in a serious tone.

"Pete lost his memory. Not all of it though." She continued when her brother nodded.

"What? Why didn't anybody tell me? You said that he was okay." Macau said his smile slowly fading away.

"I'm sorry, you were so busy with everything and we didn't want to overwhelm you even more."

"Well you should have told me either way."

"Are you really angry at me right now?"

"I'm not angry. I just...I don't know."

"I'm sorry, I know I probably ruined your day with the news."

"No, it's fine. Are you going to the hospital?"
