Pedri POV

"Amor, where are you?" I called out as I stepped into the house, searching for Emily and the kids.

"In the backyard!" she shouted back.

I walked out and immediately spotted Emily sitting with the kids, Lenor and Isa, who were playing happily. Smiling, I walked over to them, leaned down, and kissed both their heads. "How are we doing? Not annoying your mom, right?" I teased, laughing as they both giggled.

"No, no, Dad! We're being good now!" Isa replied with a grin.

I joined Emily on the outdoor couch, sitting beside her and giving her a soft kiss on the side of her head. "Amor, how are you?" I asked gently.

"I'm good, my love. How was your hangout with the boys?" she asked, her eyes warm and curious.

Before I could answer, Lenor came bounding over. "Dad, I didn't know you were with Uncle Ferran and Uncle Gavi! It's been so long—I missed them!"

"My boy, it was just a quick hangout, but next time, I promise we'll all be together," I said, ruffling his hair as he nodded excitedly.

Clearing my throat, I glanced at everyone with a little smirk. "So... I have a surprise," I announced. All eyes instantly turned to me, the kids practically vibrating with excitement.

"Omg, omg, Dad, what is it?!" Isa squealed, nearly bouncing out of her seat.

Emily, on the other hand, just smiled knowingly at me. "You'd better hurry up and tell them before they explode," she teased.

I chuckled and reached behind me to pull out a small stack of tickets. "I've booked us a whole month to spend the summer in Tenerife—together—with Uncle Gavi, Uncle Ferran, and Bella too!"

The kids erupted into cheers. Isa jumped up and down. "Yes, yes! We're going to Grandma and Grandpa's! Yes!"

Emily's eyes softened, and her smile grew. "Pedri, this is so sweet of you," she said as I reached for her hand.

"You've been doing so much—balancing work and the kids, and, well, dealing with me too," I said with a wink. "I thought it was time for you to relax, and for all of us to enjoy a vacation together."

"Thank you, Pedri," she said, leaning in to kiss me, her gratitude clear in her voice.

"Mommy and Daddy are the best! Mommy and Daddy are the best!" Isa started singing, spinning around dramatically while Lenor laughed.

Emily joined in the laughter. "Alright, kids, don't forget to say thank you to Dad for this," she reminded them.

The two of them jumped into my arms, wrapping me in a big hug and kissing my cheeks. "Thank you, Dad!" they chorused, their excitement making my heart swell.
