New wife, New life

Safe Place

"When's mama home?" the little curly asks and throws another popcorn into his mouth, side-eyeing the not-so-interesting TV show in front of her.

"She should be home in any minute." the blondie checks her phone and presses a kiss on the little curly's head before standing up, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"You miss her?" the younger blonde takes a popcorn from the bowl on their sister's laps and asks casually.

"A little. Just wonder if I should stay longer for a little to say goodnight to her. I'm tired." Andrea stretches his arms out and lets out a yawn.

"Tired? I'm sure you're just not interested in the history documentary." Mabel teases and takes the chance Andrea's mouth opened, throwing another popcorn into his mouth.

"Hey!"

Andrea protests and takes a popcorn throwing at his sister.

"You two are interrupting me!" the youngest brunette shushes her siblings and pouts, "And don't play with food!"

Andrea leans in to take his soda, complaining loudly "Can't you watch some other videos? Documentary is kinda boring."

"History is not boring! Many things keep repeating, and knowing history helps people make the right decisions so people don't keep making the same mistakes." Flora says and shifts her gaze back to the TV.

"Fair point. But I'm still not interested in Neanderthals." Andrea yawns again. "That was way back too long ago."

"Go to sleep if you want, baby." Maya comes back to the couch with another bowl of chip handing it to Mabel, who takes it with big smile, "Thanks, mom."

"Mama is off shift tomorrow. She'll see you tomorrow morning." Maya says and messes Andrea's hair. "OK?"

Clank. Clank.

The sound of the door unlocking caught everyone's attention.

The little curly eyes lit up knowing that his mama is home. He's been waiting all evening to share some good news with her, and now...

Carina is finally home.

"Mama!" the little curly stands up and walks to the door to greet his Italian mama, who was taking off her shoes.

"Andrea! Mio caro figlio!! (Andrea! My dear son!!)"

The slight pink cheeks and loud voice with exaggerate hands gesture...

The blondie frowns at her wife cause she's tipsy and barely walks straight.

"Carina? Are you OK?" Maya asks. Mabel and Flora both turn their head to the door to see what's going on with their mama.

Carina presses a kiss on Andrea's head before hugs him tightly, pressing his head against her chest. "Sto benissimo. Con un figlio così straordinario, come potrei non stare bene? (I'm great. With such an amazing son, how could I not be?)"

"Mama, sei ubriaca? (Mama, are you drunk?)" the little curly asks with concern in his voice. The kids knows that Carina drank some at the party tonight after Ben texting Maya that Carina is riding along with him and Miranda.

"Un po'. Sono così felice per tua zia Jo e tuo zio Link, ma sto bene, bambino. Non preoccuparti. (A little bit. I'm so happy for Jo and Link, but I'm good, bambino. Don't worry.)" Carina smiles goofy and rocks her and the little curly slightly at the door, totally forgot to go inside of the living room.
