"Food, drinks, decorations, music and guest list. Okay, everything's all there," I said as I put the list down and cracked my knuckles. "The maids will start cleaning the mansion from early in the morning and in the afternoon we'll put up the decorations in the dining hall. The guests will start arriving at six and the caterers will start cooking two hours before. As for music a live band will be playing some of Dad's favorite songs from his youth."

"We should have extra security put in place and for everyone's invitation to be checked at the door before they come in," Valentino added. "Safety is important. Especially since this is the first time people will see that Sabrina's pregnant. Damen was careful to keep this fact hidden for as long as possible. We couldn't afford for her to have a target on her back."

I nodded and picked up my phone to see what time it was. Five fifteen. Time to start making dinner. Getting off the bed Valentino opened the door and we walked out of our room while holding hands. When we arrived downstairs we saw Dad, Damen, Sabrina, Marcello, Emilia and Santino watching a football game and Riley playing with the dogs on the rug.

When she came back from the beach and saw Theodore here she had to bite her tongue to keep her excitement contained. She so very badly wanted to tell him how she felt but was too nervous to say anything at the time.

"So Jasmine, what's on the menu for dinner?" Santino inquired. "I was most impressed with lunch this afternoon. I'm eager to see what other surprises you have in store for us."
"Most definitely," Emilia agreed. "I can still taste that decadent fish. And the Hogao was delightful."

"I was thinking of making lamb chops with ensalada rusa, grilled veggies and mustard greens salad," I say with a smile. "And for-"
"Oh God, you're making mustard greens salad?" Sabrina asked with a grimace. "Jas you know how much I hate mustard greens."

"Sabrina, you know what Lia said about including leafy green vegetables in your diet," I told her. "Besides mustard greens are very good for your health as they contain vitamins A, C, K, as well as calcium and iron."
"But they taste so peppery and burn my mouth everytime I chew."

"Sabrina don't be stubborn. You know how important it is for you to maintain a healthy diet. Not just for you but the baby too," Damen said. "At any rate you should be thanking Jasmine for taking you into consideration and for always thinking about your welfare. Not many women go to such lengths for their sister-in-law you know."

"Your husband is right Sabrina," Mom walked into the room with Andrès and they sat next to Valentino. "Back home I have not one, not two, but four sisters-in-law. We all love each other but we're not nearly as close as you and Jasmine. Except Ruby. She and I have a special bond that transcends the relation we share."

"How many children did Carlos have again?" Marcello asked.
"Five children. Miguel is the oldest and Ruby is the youngest. And as the youngest of Carlos and Sierra's children, she was given the most leeway and freedom. She's also spoiled rotten."

"Tia Ruby is not spoiled. She just had a pampered lifestyle," I defended my aunt. "It's not uncommon for the last child to be given extra love and attention. Take Damen for instance."
"Of course you'll defend her Jas, you're practically her clone," Andrès smirked.
"Shut up Andrès."
"You shut up."

"Both of you shut up!" Valentino exclaimed. "I'm in no mood to listen to any arguments tonight."
"Thank you son-in-law," Mom said appreciatively. "You just saved me from the stress of playing mediator."
"It's nothing Rebecca. I have experience dealing with young boys. I grew up with five others just like him. And a tomboy who liked to climb trees instead of playing with dolls."
