Lives Forever Changed ( Chapter Fourteen)

Happy first birthday Nicco! 🥳

Friday November 2 nd 2024

** it's the little hours of the night... Everyone is asleep downstairs in the living room to keep Carina company and to get her to the bathroom and back to the bed ... she definitely underestimated how painful it would be... later today their friends and family will be coming over to celebrate Nicco's first birthday.. Carina wanted to cancel the party but Maya said that their friends were very understanding and compassionate about her just undergoing abdominal surgery... The kids literally had decorated the whole house all together.. Maya filmed everything.. because she thought the kids were being really adorable... Carina was in so much pain... she didn't want to be on camera.. Maya explained to future Nicco why Carina wasn't on camera decorating the house and jumping up and down all excited like she used to do before...

Today is a special day, Nicco's first birthday, there's so much things to be done before his birthday celebration ( from 11 h am until 15 h ! ) everyone of Maya and Carina's friends are coming! Lasagna for lunch, )

Carina is really struggling with her stomach after surgery.. Victoria and Andy are coming over early to help the kids hang up streamers and balloons everywhere! **
