Special 20k in the Spanish version. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

They had pass 30 years, if you know math, yeah, I'm 47 now (for God's sakes that's an age). Peter is about to turn the fabulous 50, thing that has been a rough existencial crisis that ended up with him dying his hair with Eva when she wanted to, believe me, Peter with blond hair was something I didn't expect to happen.

Now we are celebrating my first daughter 17 birthday. A little brave, fearless and amazing girl (now a young lady) called Evangeline, who has been following her father steps since she found out she could climb the walls and jump in an amazing way that wasn't quite normal, short story, she has Peter's genes. Thing that at the beginning worried us, but it hasn't been that bad, well, maybe the part where we had to change her of kindergartens a thousand times when she scared the other ones and I had to erased their memories for their own sake.

Harry is three years younger than Eva, just 15, who was a surprise for us, he wasn't even in our plans and we thought we couldn't have more children by the risk of me almost dying in the first pregnancy. But with him everything  was fine, he was now a boy that was ashamed of me taking his hand or me dropping him at school, even though he hug me when he feels bad. He is more calm and well, he has my powers, thing that make a lot of accidents happened when he was a baby making us stay up all the time when he was sleepy because he throw spells without knowing. Until we saw that I could take them away until he was ready to know about that world, a world he thought was a fairy tale.

We both got a mini version of the other one and now that they both got into the adolescence, we had to see parts of ourselves in them, sometimes, not the good part. Although we love them more than we can imagine. 

—Grandpa's are coming? 

Eva fall next to me scaring me while I was finishing to decorate her cake, completely ruining the heart I was making, I started cursing under my breath. I throw her a napkin that she caught instantly. I could see in the ceiling the marks of her sneakers that I will make her clean later.

—Goddamit, Eva!

—I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I totally forgot that you are always in your head, it was the easier way to get here, and I was on the ceiling a long time ago, I focus more with my head upside down. Too bad I can't do that on my exams.

—You are giving her a heart attack, well, at least it won't be my fault.

I scream when I heard Harry's voice by my side. He appeared with a coffee in one hand and a book in the other one. 

—Harry!

—My bad, I thought it wouldn't happen again. 

I took the cup out of his hand, leaving it between us.

—You shouldn't been drinking coffee, not at this age, you are hyperactive without it, I can't imagine you with it.

—You told me you used to drink it a lot all the time.

—That's why I know what I'm talking about.

Everyday it pass I regret everything I did to my mother in the pass, my rebellious and craziness. I was paying it.

Before I could start to scream like every day, Peter showed up in the roof door knocking after decorating everything. I got used to see him in his Spiderman suit and in casual clothes when he went to his photography studio that I totally forgot how well he looked in a suit, thing that didn't usually happen, at least it was a special day like his children's birthday. Even now that age was falling in us, his abs were still visible, even more now that he is training with Eva so she can take his place (thing he wasn't sure about at the beginning, I was... kind of thrilling about ir). After so many years being skinny, but agile, he trained more and for me, it was the best decision he could take, he didn't see like a almost 50 year old man. We three stayed quiet when he got into the room and he had this big smile on his face making him shine.
