I woke up in the middle of the night since my phone was ringing. It took international calls and I couldn't make our the number with my eyes all glossy.
"Hello?" I answered. I was slightly upset, I hadn't had sleep in two days since I left with Aubriella. She slept peacefully in my bed since she's been having nightmares.
"What up baby sis?" I heard.
It was Jared. I wiped my eyes, cleared my throat, and sat up.
"Jared! Hey, where've you been, haven't heard from you."
I hadn't spoken to him in over a year since he had to do only 1 overseas, he was in the Army.
"You know I can't disclose that! What time is it where you are? Didn't mean to wake you."
"Like 3 in the morning."
"Where's my niecey at?" he asked.
"Aubri's right here, she's asleep though."
"Make sure she knows that her Uncle will see her soon."
"I will; where are you, now that your year is over?"
"I'm on base in Florida but I should be getting on a flight to Korea in about two weeks." he said. I yawned. "I hear you, I'll let you go and email you from now on."
"Alright Jared, love you bro. Talk soon." I said. We hung up and family came to my mind. I thought about my biological father who I had yet to see and decided I needed to make a day to visit him and his family.
I heard my daughter lightly snoring and kissed her forehead before getting up. We were in a small apartment that Deidre owned since he was 18. I walked into the kitchen area where he was on his laptop.
"Couldn't sleep?" I asked.
"I could, but so much work has to be done. Your husband is a dumbass, you know?" he said. I sat on the small couch and turned on the TV, it was in Portuguese. I changed it to the weather channel and saw that it was bound to rain tomorrow and on the weekend.
"When does the private teacher come here?" I asked. "And what's the best place to work?"
"Well, I don't think working would be good right now and the teacher will start next Monday. I thought giving you some time to get around and adjusted would be better."
"What's the reviews on this teacher?"
"I did a background check and etcetera, she's one of the most expensive and influential private instructors in this country." he said.
"That's good. I-"
His phone rang and he answered. I knew only a few Italian words but couldn't keep up with what he was saying.
"Si?" [Yes?]
"Non credo che lei vuole parlare con te ora-" [I don't think she wants to talk to you now-]
"Here Juli." he said, passing me the phone.
"Hello?" I asked hesitantly.
"Bambina e Darren." he spoke. Darren Demetrio. [Baby's it's Darren]
I noticed Aubri walk in and go to her uncle who automatically picked her up. He kissed her cheek and she leaned on his shoulder. I told him about babying her, yet him and Darren still do it.
"Hey." I said.
"Are you okay? Is Aubri asleep?"
"We're fine, she's just in Deidre's arms while he's doing work."
