The following morning, as the sunlight filtered through the windows, Karely stretched in bed, feeling the comforting warmth of Kike beside you. You and Kike had just spent a cozy night relaxing and watching TV together, and now, with your mom visiting, you felt a warmth that made your heart swell. You knew how much your mother meant to you, and the joy it brought you that Kike loved your mom just as much was priceless.
As you turned over, Kike was already awake, looking at you with a tender smile. “Buenos días, mi amor,” he murmured, brushing a lock of hair from your face. “How are you feeling today?”
You smiled, a bit surprised by how relaxed you felt. “Better,” you replied softly, placing your hand over his. “Thank you… for everything.”
Just then, the two of you heard a soft knock on the door, and your mom peeked in, holding Penelope’s hand. “Good morning,” your mom greeted with a warm smile. Penelope squealed, slipping out of her grandmother’s hand and dashing toward her parents.
“Mama! Papa!” Penelope giggled as Kike scooped her up, planting a playful kiss on her cheek.
Your mom watched them, her expression softening. It was a rare sight for her to see her daughter and granddaughter so happy, given the hard life she had endured raising you on her own.
“Come in, mamá,” you said, patting the spot beside you on the bed. You could tell your mother felt a little shy, but she sat down, watching Penelope play with Kike, who always seemed to know how to bring out the best in their daughter.
Kike flashed you a quick, knowing look. The two of you had been planning this surprise for a while, and today was finally the day. He gave your hand a reassuring squeeze before turning to your mother, a bright smile on his face.
“Mamá,” he began, addressing her as if she were his own. “Karely and I have been talking, and… we think it’s time you took a break. A real break.” your mom looked surprised, but Kike continued, excitement glimmering in his eyes. “How would you feel about going on a little vacation? Just us, as a family?”
Your mom blinked, clearly taken aback. “¿En serio, hijo?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly with emotion. She hadn’t had a real vacation in… well, forever.
Kike nodded, a playful smile dancing on his lips. “Sí, mamá. Vamos a Disneylandia—por tres días. Y no se preocupe, I’m taking care of everything.”
Your mom’s face broke into a huge smile as she absorbed the surprise. She clasped her hands over her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at her daughter and son-in-law.
“¡Hijo! Gracias… gracias por cumplir el sueño de mi hija… y de mi nieta.” Her voice was filled with gratitude, her hands reaching out to hold Kike’s. “Nunca pensé que vería un día como este. You don’t know what this means to me.”
Kike gently held her hands, his own eyes softening. “Las amo con todo mi corazón,” he said, his voice warm and full of sincerity. “Y a usted también, mamá. Sabe cómo la quiero.”
Your mother’s tears spilled over, and you felt your own eyes getting misty at the sheer joy and love that filled the room. You leaned you head against Kike’s shoulder, smiling up at him as Penelope bounced with excitement.
“Disneyland, Disneyland!” Penelope chanted, clapping her hands and looking up at her grandmother with glee. “Are you coming with us, abuelita?”
Your mom nodded, laughing as she wiped away her happy tears. “Sí, mi amor, voy contigo. You’re going to show me all the best rides, right?”
Kike chuckled, ruffling Penelope’s hair as she nodded eagerly. “Don’t worry, mamá. We’re going to make sure you get the whole Disneyland experience. You deserve this, and so much more.”
Your mom reached out, pulling you and Kike into a warm hug, Penelope sandwiched between them. “Gracias, hijo. This means the world to me,” she said softly, her voice full of emotion. She took a deep breath, looking at Kike with a gentle smile. “No solo eres un buen esposo y padre… pero eres el hijo que siempre soñé tener. Thank you for taking care of my girls.”
Kike’s eyes shone with emotion as he hugged her back. “Para mí es un honor, mamá. Esta es nuestra familia. I’d do anything for you, for Karely, and for P.”
With Penelope’s excited cheers filling the room, Kike turned to Karely, giving her a knowing smile. “Guess we better start packing, huh?”
You laughed, nodding, as you squeezed his hand in gratitude.
