Our eyes meet and warmth fills my body again. Lyci jumps out of my arms and runs to her. ''My little princess! Did you miss me?'' ''YES.'' she screams. I focus on the other girls and greet them. ''And was it fun?'' my sister asks. ''Haha, sure, the kids are playing soccer together upstairs. Maybe you should pay them a visit.'' I say. ''We'll do that right away.'' The girls walk upstairs except my wife and daughter. I smile and get a beautiful smile back, I walk to her and give her a kiss. ''EW don't do that!'' Lyci screams. I look at Yana and we start laughing.

==========================================================================

We are all sitting together at the table, we have just finished eating. ''Guys, can I have your attention for a moment?'' All eyes are on Auri, ''Okay, well me and the girls talked about something this afternoon and we got an idea.'' ''Not again, the last time you got an idea we almost ended up in jail and were almost stuck in a country we hardly knew.'' says Ferran. Auri looks at him offended, ''okay that might not have been the best idea. But, trust me this is a bit more relaxed. Well we were thinking of going to Greece with everyone the day after the match. We got 2/3 days off.'' Everyone is quite surprised and judging by their faces they all really need a vacation. Even though summer has just ended.. ''But that's already in 3 days!?'' says Gavi, ''Uh yeah about that, we might have already bought the tickets and everything.'' ''Without telling us anything?'' asks Frenkie. ''Eh yeah, sorry guys. But we thought it was a too good idea and you probably liked it anyway.'' Mikky says. She's right about that, but tomorrow we have a family day and the day after family day we have a match to play.

*the next day*

We got up early to get everything ready. We set the table outside and put some food on it. The kids are still asleep, they are exhausted from yesterday. Every year the family day is celebrated somewhere else, last year it was in Tenerife for example. Where my family lives and 2 years ago it was at Yana's parents' house. So this year it's our turn, it's going to be really busy today, the whole family is coming. My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and more are coming today and also Yana's whole family. So that will be a really busy house, in total it's more than 25 people. And then we have to realize that we are going on holiday again in 2 days, these are going to be really long days. Outside everything is already set up, tables are set, snacks are ready and the BBQ is assembled. Now I just have to wake up the kids, because everyone will be here in a few minutes.

I walk to Lyci's room and see that her eyes are already open, ''Hey my little princess, did you sleep well?'' she nods and rubs her eyes. I walk to her window and open the curtains and help her get dressed. ''Shall we go downstairs to eat? Grandpa and grandma will be here soon.'' ''Yes, eat.'' I pick her up and we go downstairs, where Yana is already busy making breakfast for the kids. I put her down and go back upstairs to check on Léon. There is already light coming from his room, so I think he is awake. I open the door and see that he is sitting on the floor playing with his cars. He looks up and sees me standing there, ''Good morning Papa.'' ''Good morning boy, are you coming downstairs too? The family will be here soon.'' He nods and focuses on his toys again, I close the door behind me.

The sound of the doorbell echoes through the house, well I think that must be my family. I walk to the door and open it, there they are. My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins ​​and of course my brother. My mother hands me a bouquet of flowers and gives me a kiss on the cheek. ''Come in, Yana is in the kitchen.'' I greet everyone one by one and just when I thought I was done, Yana's parents walk in with my brothers-in-law. ''Pedriii!'' Ciro screams, he comes running to me and I give him a hug. ''Hey, Ciro! Are you ready for today?'' He nods and walks into the house, I wait for the rest to arrive and greet them too. ''Come in, come in.'' Lionel looks at me with a smile and then says, ''Hospitable as always, my daughter chose a good man.'' I stare at him a little awkwardly, ''Uh thanks Leo.'' He starts to laugh ''I'm sorry, but you really are a good man. I couldn't have wished for a better son-in-law, but let's go inside. I think you've been standing here for already an hour.'' ''Yeah sounds like a good plan.'' We walk inside where it's already quite busy, everyone is talking to each other, eating snacks and the kids are all playing outside.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The barbecue is on and everyone is sitting at the massive long table we rented for today, the rest of the family has already arrived. It's a cozy atmosphere, the sun is shining with a little wind. Yana is sitting on my right with Auri next to her and Gavi on my left. Our parents are sitting opposite us, we are enjoying our food and I have to say I did it really well. ''What are your plans for this week?'' Antonela asks, ''we are going to Greece in 2 days with Gavi, Auri, Pedri and the kids.'' ''Ohh, how nice! I heard it's very beautiful there.'' ''Yes and we are really dying for a vacation.'' ''Could you make sure that we don't have to pick you up in the middle of the night again, because you got lost.'' Lionel says in between, everyone starts to laugh ''I promise dad and that was a long time ago. You don't have to repeat it every time we go on trips or vacation.'' ''Okay okay, I'll keep my mouth shut. But don't do anything stupid.'' We talk a bit about some topics until everyone is done eating.

It's an hour later and the pool is opened. The karaoke box is also ready, it has become a whole pool party. The girls grab microphones and start singing, some family members already went home because their flight leaves early tomorrow. But that doesn't spoil the fun, even though we have to get up early tomorrow. I'm ready for a party, the children are already in bed. So let the party begin!
