Unexpected Love

Chapter 47

Cristiano.

"Did you eat Diana?" Catalina asked Diana as we all sat around the kitchen counter while Catalina busied herself on the stove. The tv was on but nobody felt like watching it even though Catalina's BBC interview was replaying at the moment.

"Nothing since yesterday," Diana huffed, squirming uncomfortably in her chair.

"You've got to be kidding me," Catalina stopped in her tracks, hands on her hips.

"What? I was stressed out, I couldn't help it."Diana shrugged.

"You're lucky," Catalina glowered at her friend, pushing a bowl each towards her and Victor "Here have this, it should fill you up."

"I missed your cooking Lina," Victor admitted before digging his spoon into the rice.

"Me too," Diana seconded.

"How old are they now?" Victor pointed to where Junior was playing with Xavi and Rhanya in their rockers.

"10 weeks," I said, holding Selene closer as she gazed thoughtfully at her mother.

"Already?" Victor looked shocked.

"Yes," Catalina laughed as she gently placed a kiss on Selene's head,"They are changing so fast,"

"Xavi looks so much like Junior when he was smaller," Diana noted.

"Yes he does, its almost the same child again," I laughed.

"That's good," Junior smiled shyly,"He's my brother duhhh."

"Rani looks like she's going to be a real mixture of them," Izzy said matter of factly,"If she's next to Catalina she looks like Catalina but if she's next to Cristiano she looks like him. It's strange but very cute."

"And Selene? Who does this cutie look like," Victor made a funny face while he tickled her. Selene frantically tried to grab his face squealing with delight.

"She looks like my dad," Catalina said quietly, eyes glossing over, the memories no doubt coming back to her. I pulled her into a one armed hug as a single tear slid down the side of her cheek

"Have you decided what colour I'm wearing?" Diana asked in between chews.

"Peach. And I found the perfect dress for you last week. Adelia just needs to get it to Brazil for me," Lina said.

"So you guys finally made up your mind?  Thank god because we thought that we would probably have to hold your wedding in the middle of the ocean." Victor looked relieved.

"Why do you have to be so dramatic?" Lina asked.

"It's a specialty of mine," Victor retorted.

"Did you decide on how many people will be there?" Izzy enquired.

"80 would be the most," I replied.

"That's small considering the amount of people you guys know," Izzy grimaced.

"I think it's good to work with." Catalina confessed,"I want it to be small enough so that pictures don't get leaked or something like that. And speaking about pictures, Victor, I need a photographer and videographer."

"I can be your photographer but I would have to get my buddy Mikel to do the videoing. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it." Victor said.

"Yay, what would I do without you?" Catalina hugged him tightly.

"I don't know, your lives would be probably empty,"

"Don't push it," Catalina warned him playfully.
