Cassidy grinned as she sat in the middle of bed in the master bedroom and continued wrapped up Christmas presents; she was surprised how quickly the holidays had come around, this year was going to be different since they now had the twins, it was also their first festive holiday together in their home.
Fernando chuckled as he walked into the bedroom, he set down the baby monitor and leant against the wall as Cassidy continued to wrap presents for her family and the twins; he knew how much she loved wrapped and had allowed her to do his as well.
“Having fun?” Fernando asked watching her, he couldn’t help but fall more in love with her when he saw how excited she got when it came to Christmas; this was going to be one of the best Christmas’s that he had ever had.
Cassidy grinned at him and nodded her head, she had nearly completed all of her Christmas shopping and the only gift remaining for her to get was Fernando’s; she wasn’t sure what to get him and since she was no longer speaking to Juan, she was at a loss at what to get her fiancé.
“Always… I think I’m nearly done,” Cassidy said as Fernando moved to sit on the bed, his brown eyes sparkled as he watched her; the brunette was wearing a black print nightie for bed since it was now getting late and they’d had a busy day.
Fernando chuckled carefully moving to kiss her neck, his hand brushing hair from her neck so he could move closer to her; Cassidy stopped what she was doing and closed her eyes as she relaxed into his hold, she felt content for the first time in a long time.

Running a hand through her hair, Cassidy glared at the phone as she reached out of bed and picked it up; Fernando had gone to training and she was home alone with the twins, the last thing she had been expecting was a phone call at this hour of the morning.
“Hello?” Cassidy said once she had cleared her throat, she looked at the clock as she sat up in bed wondering what was going on; she paused as the person introduced themselves as a producer for some channel.
Cassidy ran a hand through her hair as the producer continued to talk before she got down to business; Cassidy swallowed as she listened to what was being said.
“You’re offering me a job?” Cassidy asked to be sure that she had heard what was being said right, she blinked as a smile slowly graced her face as the producer told her more about what the project would be.
It was for a new sporting channel starting up the following and it would give Cassidy enough time to settle the twins before she went back to work.
“Okay… I will see you on the 19th,” Cassidy said grinning, she couldn’t believe that her career wasn’t over yet; she had thought that after she had been sacked that, that was it for her but here she was getting offered a new job for a new sporting channel.
As soon as the call was finished, Cassidy squealed in excitement; she knew that it was still a long shot but she had already been spending her reel out for weeks and this was the first time she had heard anything about a possible new job.
Taking a deep breath, Cassidy climbed out of bed with a smile on her face for the first time in a long time she felt happy; Fernando had been worried about her after her sacking and she had been upset to lose her job and it had knocked her back slightly after what had happened.

Fernando furrowed her brow entering his home, Pomo and Llanta hurried to greet him at the door; he set down his bag as he stroked them wondering what was going on, he tilted his head wondering what had put his fiancée in such a good mood.
Fernando sighed pushing himself up and headed for the kitchen, he stopped as he spotted Cassidy in a good mood; he frowned as he leant against the door frame and watched her as she continued to prepare dinner.
“Cass is everything alright?” Fernando asked slowly approaching her, the brunette stopped what she was doing and turned to face her fiancé; she knew how this must look to him but she had been in such a good mood after the phone call that she couldn’t resist cooking a special dinner for their small family.
“Everything is perfect,” Cassidy said moving towards Fernando and kissed him, she wrapped her arms around his neck knowing that she had been a little off lately and she felt horrible for that; she wanted to make up for how she had been in the last few weeks.
Fernando rested his hands on her hips as he kissed her softly, he drew her closer knowing that she was in a good mood; he knew that she had been upset recently because she had lost her job, but he was happy to see her in this sort of mood.
“I had a phone call this morning,” Cassidy said pulling back from Fernando and moved to check on dinner, she had decided to make oxtail stew for dinner since the weather was pretty cold and she knew that it was something that they didn’t usually have.
Fernando raised an eyebrow at her as he nodded his head, he moved to get some bowls out; he knew that whatever it was had put his fiancée in a good mood.
“I got offered a lead presenter job on a new sporting channel that starts next August,” Cassidy said looking at Fernando, she gave the stew a stir as she looked at him; she knew that it would mean a lot to them that they had eight months to prepare before she went back to work.
Fernando stopped and looked at her, he knew how much this meant to her since she had loved working at Chelsea TV and it hadn’t been fair that she had been sacked because of what Juan had done; she deserved better and he knew that if this made her happy then he would support her.
“Amor,” Fernando said smiling as he moved to hug her, he kissed her lips knowing that while it wasn’t ideal but she wasn’t going to start until the twins were fifteen months old; it gave them time to prepare for what they were going to do next.
Cassidy pulled back as she felt him cup her face, she watched him for a moment knowing that they were going to be okay; she was sure that they would work something out when the time came.
“So you’re okay with me taking the position?” Cassidy asked softly, she was worried that he wouldn’t be happy with her finding a new job; she didn’t want him to be upset since she wasn’t the type to live off her husband’s money like Olalla had been.
Fernando chuckled and nodded his head, he brushed his lips against hers as he held her close; he kissed her knowing that he was proud of her.
“I’m more than okay with it… I love you Cass,” Fernando said softly as he watched her, he knew why she was nervous and he wished that there was something that he could do to ease her mind.
Cassidy smiled up at him and kissed him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close; if this was going to work then they would have to work something out, she was sure that they would be okay in the end when she returned to work.
