fifty-two.

present.

Emily walked into the house after school , exhausted. her bag was slunged over her back and her feet were aching. all she wanted to do was sit down.

as soon as she walked into the house , she was attacked by Hulk. he licked her all over her face and letting her stumble a bit.

rubbing Hulk's head carefully , she stepped out of the way , into the livingroom. once Ciro saw her he immediately smiled and went up to hug her.

Emily smiled and wrapped him in a hug. "i missed you" she said and he smiled and buried his face into her neck.

"where's mama?" she asked him. "carne" he said and she frowned. "meat? what?" she asked him and smell an aroma coming from the kitchen.

Emily made sure Ciro was peacefully watching tv and put her bag down. she walked to the kichen to find Antonella grilling some meat on the grill.

once she saw the girl , she smiled. "hey , you're here. how was school?" Anto asked and Emily stood next to her.

"it was okay , just tiring" Emily spoke. she helped to put some of the barbeque sauce on the raw meat.

"did you speak to Amelia today?" Antonella asked , her eyes still on the grilling meat. "yes i did , i told her i didn't want to be friends with her anymore" Emily said and Anto smiled.

"i'm glad" Anto spoke. the two grilled the meat further an Emily also helped her with the salad , even though she was tired.

they heard some commotion in the livingroom and the three people walked in. Leo was holding Ciro and Mateo in his arms while Thiago happily went and greeted his mom and sister.

"hey" Leo said and kissed Emily's forehead. he pecked Anto on her lips and put the two children down.

"what are you making?" he asked and sat down behind the counter. "lunch" Emily spoke and showed him the food.

"how was school?" he asked her as Anto dished up. "it was tiring. I'm so tired" she said and sat on the stool.

the three boys came and sat next to them behind the counter as Anto placed their food infront of them , along with some drinks.

"let's pray" Anto said and they said grace and began eating.

"so , Em ,about your mom's birthday" Leo said and Emily looked up. "Luis and Sofi decided to join us ,if that's alright with you..." Leo trailed off.

Emily nodded her head. "of course it's alright. i'd love it actually..." she said. "i know it's probably too early but...maybe you could ask Enzo to come aswell" Anto said and Leo tensed but didn't say anything.

"are you sure?" Emiky asked ,her eyes glancing to Leo. "of course" Leo said.

"what are you guys planning?" Emily said as they all ate their food. "how about me and Anto sort it out? all you need to do , is be right there" Leo said and swung his arm over Emily ,giving her a tight side hug.

Emily smiled at them. "i'm very grateful for you guys" she spoke and Antonella smiled widely. "no , we're grateful for you. me , Leo , the kids , Delfi...even Hulk" Anto spoke.

Emily smiled and continued to ate her food , incase she stars bawling right there. she loved and missed her mom , there was no doubt , but she also loved that she made her own little family that not only accepts her but her mother aswell.

she took a sip from her lemonade and talked with Leo and Anto for a while.

when they were done , they all put their dishes on the table and Leo picked Ciro up and played with him for a while.

"i know you're tired , but are you down to do some yoga?" Anto asked and Emily looked towards her.

"I have never done it before" she said sheepishly and Anto shrugged. "there's always a first time for everything"

"just get some legging and a shirt , i promise you'll feel better" Anto said and Emily nodded her head before walking upstairs.

she immediately got rid of her school clothes and out on some leggings and a random sports bra.

once she got her socks on , she walked back downstairs where Anto was already waiting with two yoga mats and handed the green one to Emily.

"i think the backyard would be perfect" Anto said and they headed outside , Hulk and Ciro following them. Thiago , Mateo and Leo were inside playing some video game.

"okay ,first position" Anto said and sat in a position hat Emily didn't even knew existed. "i think i'll like...malfunction if i do that"

Anto laughed. "come on , it'll be a good stretch" she said. Emily got on her mat and did every single positon that Anto showed her.

after everything , she plopped on the mat , out of breath , though her body was feeling much better.

"woah ,that feels so gpod" Emily said , her limps feeling loosened. "see? it's so healthy , we should do it more" Anto said and gave Emily a waterbottle.

"when are going to Argentina?" she asked and Anto took a swig from her water. "three days before her birthday" she answered.

suddenly , the four boys came outside , joining the ladies on the mats. "how was it?" Leo asked. "it was nice , i kind of like it" Emily said honestly.

"yeah i have a feeling we'll be doing this a lot more" Anto spoke.

they all joked and talked some more and Leo and Anto discussed the birthday while Emily played with the boys.

she took her phone that was laying on the table and decided to send Enzo a message.

Emily
hey i want to ask
you something

he didn't reply right away so Emily put her phone on the table again and went to play with Ciro that wanted to go in the pool so bad.

"scared" Ciro said and clung onto Emily. "I won't let you go" she said and let his feet gently touch the water.

once he was settled in , she held him while he was playing around the water , enjoying himself.

"Emily , Ciro!" she heard a voice and looked around to see Anto. "come on in , it's getting a little cold"

Emily nodded her head and put Ciro in a towel before walking inside of the warm house.

she grabbed her phone and handed Ciro off to Anto before seeing that Enzo finally texted her.

Enzo

Emily

Emily locked her phone and smiled while she walked back to where Ciro was , running away from his mother in his towel.
