Stephanie's POV

"Can I get you something to drink?"

I look up to the waiter and decide to just give him an order because it's now the third time he's asked me that and he seems a little nervous.

"Can I please have a lemon ice tea, appletizer and a mango juice. Thank you" I smile up at him and he gives me a polite nod before he walks away.

Alex and Maya are running a bit late for our lunch date but they are on their way. They were both at home with the kids today and today is also the first time our nanny will take care of the kids for a few hours.

It is Abby's first day and we decided to give her the space to get herself comfortable. We didn't want her to feel overwhelmed by us being there.

Rosie is at the house to watch over her and help her if she needs too but we told her to let Abby figure it out.

Alex feels bad for throwing her into the deep end like that but I think it's the best thing for her.

And besides the kids will be asleep for most of the time because they have to take their nap right now. So it'll only be about an hour where she would actually have to watch over them.

I'm a little nervous having someone else take care of my kids but I'm also thankful to have her because now I can have lunch with my wives.

I can't remember the last time we went out for a meal at a place other than Maya's restaurant. We absolutely love being there and it's a tradition we would never break but this is nice.

After a few more minutes, I look up and see that beautiful navy blue BMW pull up right in front of the restaurant and I slightly chuckle when Alex flashes her head lights at me.

I watch them both get out of her car but I don't think Maya saw me yet. She is on the phone with someone and that conversation has all her attention.

I admire them from my seat and smile at the way Alex tries to guide Maya my way but she keeps wandering off as she talks.

Alex is wearing a long light blue skirt with a white shirt and Maya went with a short black dress. They both decided on keeping their hair down which is always their go to if they have the day off. Unfortunately they can't really wear it down like this when they are working but I'm not complaining, it keeps my mind at ease.

They already have so many people gawking at them at work, I don't want people to have more reasons to fantasize about what's mine.

With one last attempt to get Maya's attention, she gives up and leaves her on the grass. She just smiles and walks over to me.

As she gets to the entrance she talks to the hostess and then points over to me before they let her in.

"This is a cute place lovey" she smiles as she nears the table.

I quickly stand up and meet her for a quick kiss. "I told you" I smile as she takes a seat on the one side of me.

"And it's not my fault that we are late" she quickly adds with a soft chuckle.

"Who is she talking to?" I ask and look over to where Maya is still walking around on the grass.

"Her dad." She says and looks over the menu but her hand reaches over to mine. "Apparently they are serious about moving."

"What? Really?" I frown.

"Yeah, but let's wait till she comes back." She smiles and squeezes my hand. "We missed you this morning, give me some love."

I laugh at her pouty face and lean a bit forward just as she does. I give her a lingering kiss on the lips and then softly kiss her hand.

"How was your short day at work?" She asks me in a low voice as we stay close to each other.
