April 18th
"Nat, baby we gotta go." I say softly knock on my daughter door
"I'm trying!" She exclaims from the other side of the door as I chuckle
"I'm going to come in okay?" I ask and carefully open the door and walk in
"Nat what is going on" I laugh as she has one jersey stuck on her head and other in her hand
"I don't wanna wear papa's jersey." She sighs as I walk over to her and help her remove the jersey stuck on her head
"Who's jersey do you want to wear?" I ask her
"Marcs!" She cheers as I laugh
Nathalie had developed a bit of a crush on the young player over the last few months, it didn't help that whenever Marc would see her he would always show affection to her
"I don't think that jersey is clean." I say as she frowns
"Then I'm not going" she yells
"Okay I will go look for it, just calm down for a second. If it's not clean then you can just wear your sweater okay?" I ask as she nods
I exit and walk down to the laundry room and look through her bin
"Carmen, Fernando is asking me questions about his homework and I'm less than equipped to help him. We need to parent swap." He sighs walking in and resting his head on my shoulder
"That's fine, you just need to find Nathalie's jersey; the one that has Marc's name on it. She doesn't want to wear yours" I explain
"I'm offended" he says as I laugh
"That's what she wants dude.I'm not about to say no to her that's no man's land." I say and he laughs
"Okay so her party thing is done at what time?" He asks
"4, we should be back by 5 ish because it's in girona but I'll let you know," I say
"Okay, we have that dinner thing with the guys tonight.I think it's a 7." He says and I stop and look at him
"What thing?" I ask
"I told you earlier this week, the guys and their wives and girlfriends are getting dinner before we play Madrid tomorrow" he reminds me as I groan
"Oh I'm sorry i totally forgot, I'll try to be back in time but it shouldn't be an issue." I smile
"Alright, go on and help Fernando I'll sort this jersey thing." He says and I kiss his cheek before leaving and walking into the kitchen
"Hey fer, what's going on?" I ask and walk next to him as he's hunched over his math homework at the counter
"I don't understand multiplication." He groans
"It's okay, I can help you out." I say squeezing his shoulder and he moves his hands away from the paper so I can see
I look over it quickly and smile
"We can do this really easy before I go." I say as he nods
"Where are you even going" he asks
"Estelles house, it's lilys birthday party so I'm taking Nat. Then later I think your abuela is going to come watch you two,just until we get back" I say and analyze to the questions on the paper
"The jersey is dirty, what do you want me to do?" Gavi calls out from the laundry
"Just go into her room and put her in the sweater that is on her chair" I call back
"Next week Jean is coming to visit, so Estelle and lily and Elio are coming over" I explain to Fernando and pause
"Don't tell your sister, it's supposed to be a suprise for her birthday" I add
"Yeah you do not have to worry about me" he laughs
"Okay let me try to help you out quick" I say turning my attention back to the task at hand
———————
"Carmen I need to talk to you" Estelle says as I'm standing talking to another mom if one on the girls at the party
"Excuse me for a second" I say to the other mom and follow Estelle back into the kitchen
"Okay the last two weeks I've been waking up all sick and tired and just feeling unwell. So I bought a pregnancy test and I took it this morning and it came back positive" she spits out
"Aw stelle, that's amazing. Did you tell Elio yet?" I ask pulling her into a hug
"No, he's was at training most of the day and he's at lunch right now and I want to tell him in person." She says a I nod
Elio was Estelle's husband of four years, they started dating shortly after Nico and Estelle parted ways a little after Fernando was born. Then they found out they were pregnant with lily around the same time i found out I was pregnant with Nathalie.
"That's so great, I'm so happy for you" I smile at her
"Yeah, I'm so excited but I'm more nervous. I'm remembering the complications with Lily's birth and it just makes me scared" she says as I squeeze her hand
"You are going to be okay. I believe in you" I say
"Im just going to go along with everything the doctor says and tells me to do and hopefully I'll be good." She says
"I love you stell, and I'm here for you every day you need me" I smile
"I know Carmen, I love you" she says
As we continue to talk Nathalie runs back over to us with Lily and they begin to talk in rapid speed
"Mama, can Nat please spend the night here please?" Lily begs as Nathalie nods
"I don't know baby, they have to go watch Gavi play tomorrow in Madrid so I don't know if that will work out" Estelle says
"The game is at 4:00 so we need to start driving by 10 but if we left at 9:00 I could come here and get her own my way up there" I say
"Well never mind then, of course she can stay the night." Estelle smiles as I laugh and the girls squeal and run back over to the other girls
"She still has clothes here I think, I'm pretty sure I washed them last week and mean to give them back to you when I was over there but I forgot." Estelle says as I nod
"Ah well that gives Gavi's mom one less kid to deal with tonight" I chuckle as she smiles
"How's Paul?" I ask as she smiles
"He's alright, he's now a board seat holder at his company so it's very cool." She explains as I nod
"Have you talked to jean?" She asks
"Yeah, I talk with him basically everyday, he's doing good."
"What about Nico" she asks softly
"He's also good, he has a girlfriend and everything. They were supposed to visit a few weeks ago when they were here for a work thing but a meeting got moved or something of the sort. But I've met her, her name is Colette and she's good for him." I say as she nods
"That's good, that's great actually." She whispers
"Everything turned out good for all of us after all." I laugh as she leans her head on my shoulder
"Yeah it did."
