[ So we take our love story back to the future where Yessenia and Rosie exist. Now being teenagers, Cecilia and I tell them the reality of things. Now Rosie is 14 and Yessenia is 15. We're currently having breakfast. ]
Rosie: Can I have a boyfriend dad?
Me: Not until you're 18 honey.
Yessenia: I'm only 3 years away! Ha!
Rosie: No fair! I want one.
Me: It will come one day. Just let time do its thing.
Cecilia: Your father's right. See we were patient.
[I nod my head to the side]
Cecilia: Well, sort of ... But we didn't have a kid until later.
Me: Why'd you say that?
Cecilia: Say what?
[I whisper in her ear]
Me: Do you think we should tell them?
Cecilia: Sure, they're old enough to understand.
[I speak aloud]
Me: One of you were adopted.
[A moment of silence came into the kitchen.]
Cecilia: Don't you girls want to know?...
[Blank stares and silence.]
Yessenia: You know what?... Scince we're really close, you shouldn't tell us.
Rosie: Yea, let's keep it a secret.
Me: Well then... I'll leave it be. I thought you girls would be interested to know.
Rosie: I think it'll be better for the both of us. We won't fight over stupid things.
Me: Wow.... Wise words little lady.
Yessenia: What can we get our phones?
Me: Maybe by Friday... when I get the check.
Cecilia: Time for school!
Yessenia: Alright, let me pack my bags.
Rosie: I'm already packed.
Cecilia: We'll be out in 5 minutes.
Rosie and Yessenia: Ok!
[The time for school comes.]
Cecilia: Come on girls!
Me: I'll go with you
Rosie: We're ready!
[Yessenia comes out of the room dragging her backpack.]
Me: You need some help Yessenia?
Yessenia: No I'm ok dad.
Me: Ok then, let's part.
[We walk outside to the boat dock. I start up the vessel and we boat back to the mainland. As we do, you can see a sign with my name on it with a no trespassing sign. This would mean that I own the island and that any trespassers shall be prosecuted. We arrive at the mainland docks and get into my car. Then, we begin our 15 minute drive to school.]
Yessenia: Dad, how come we live far from school?
Me: Hmmm.... Cecilia do you know?
Cecilia: Yes, we live far because it's better that way.
Rosie: My friend wants to come over to tommorow. Can she come?
Me: Tell her dad to talk to me and we'll see.
[I pull up into the school parking lot.]
Yessenia: Bye dad.
Rosie: Yea, see you later.
Me: Goodbye my beautiful girls!
Have a good day at school.
[I turn to Cecilia.]
Me: They grow up so fast.
