Fantina of the Opera

Development

A year has past since the birth of Candace. The family celebrated Fantinas birthday around 4 months ago. But today, everyone was gathered around for Candaces party.

"Thank you everyone for coming," Mizura was excited for the party

"Of course Mizura," Mato commented. "Anything for family friends."

"Agreed," Jenice replied to Matos statement.

"Sorry I haven't been visiting lately," Katia had told everyone. "I've been busy with work."

"So, you finally got a job," John replied sarcastically.

"John! Be polite," Mizura was trying to cover her anger. She was always kindhearted like that.

"Don't worry Mizura," Katia at least sounded reassuring. "It's okay for him to tease me. John,"

"Yes Katia?"

"I've known we've had our differences before and I know that I have upset you."

"Well, at least you admit the truth."

"Can you just let me finish? So I decided I want to help you out."

"And how are you going to do that Katia?"

"Easy. I'm going to,"

Before she could finish, Katia received a call on her phone. She quickly picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Yes, this is Katia."

"I have to leave now?"

"Understood."

"I'm so sorry guys but I have to leave now. My fucking boss is calling me in even though I had a day off."

"I'm sorry Katia," Mizura said remorsefully.

"It's okay, I'll talk to you later Mizura."

"Okay bye."

Katia's leaving was a misfortune for her. As soon as she left, Fantina fell off the couch. Mizura was going to pick her up and coddle her, but something else happened. Fantina began to walk for the first tine! She was 11 pounds now and 2 years and 4 months old. It was her time.

"This is incredible!" Mato was astounded at this.

"Oh my gosh! I gotta take a picture of this." Jenice was also astounded

"I do as well," Mizura told everyone.

"Congratulations Mizura and John."

"Thanks Mato."

And so, when the party was over, everyone left with a new hope. A hope that Fantina will be alive for many years and will be able to live life.

"Today was such a great day,don't you think John."

"Yes, definitely."

"Listen, John."

"Yes Mizura?"

"I know you probably want to have sex right now."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No of course not, but I don't think we should have any since I am six months pregnant."

"Are you worried about another child becoming like Fantina."

"A little. Is that bad?"

"No baby. I worry sometimes too."

"Because when I was pregnant with Fantina, we had sex all of the time."

"I am willing to admit that."

"But when I was pregnant with Candace, we didn't have any sex."

"That is true."

"And look at her, she's already walking."

"I know, its incredible."

"So, I think we shouldn't have sex when I'm pregnant."

"I understand Mizura."

"Well then, good night!"

"Night!"

With this, the young couple fell into a slumber, wondering about the future.
