Nutella Biscuits part 3

Flaca spent all night working on her case, making calls, jotting down notes. everything you can think of, her mind was set on winning this case, not for her client but for Maritza and the little nutella biscuit lover. soon the sun was rising and Flaca was staring dumbfounded at the window

"shit I legit pulled an actual all nighter?damn"

she says as she sips coffee from her mug and looks out the window standing in her panda onsie, she went to get some rest and woke up at about 2 in the afternoon, got ready and texted Maritza

Flaca - hey you, we still up 😊

Maritza - yep, you're coming over?🤩

Flaca - yes in a few minutes, just need to make a few calls and I'll be on my way😉

Maritza - okii, text me when you leave🥰

----

Flaca - I'm leaving now 🥰

Maritza - waiting for you 😍

when Flaca went down to Maritza's house the first thing she did was she pulled the small woman into a bone crushing hug and held her for several minutes knowing she needed it but was too scared to take a step and ask for a hug, after that their day started, first they went to watch the movie Juliana wanted to watch, the queen's corgi, they laughed, Maritza cried at some point just looking at her daughter, Flaca put an arm around her and left a quick kiss on her head and then fixed her eyes on the screen when she felt Maritza's gaze falling on her, she felt her cheeks heat up but tried to act natural, Maritza smiled sadly and left a kiss on her cheek and after nuzzled her nose in her daughter's neck who was sitting on her lap, later went to Juliana's favorite playground and got her 3 scoops of her favorite ice-cream, after a whole hour of Juliana playing, Flaca taking multiple photos of Maritza and her daughter playing and Maritza forcing a wide smile so that her daughter wouldn't get upset they went to buy some clothes for Juliana, they played dress up, acted silly together, laughed at their inside jokes, explained them to Flaca, then the day came to an end, and reality hit both of them.

"maybe magic will happen"

Juliana says looking at Flaca with hope in her eyes trying to stay positive, but then she looks at her mother, Maritza looked broken, scared, devastated

"just in case magic doesn't happen, don't get your hopes up ok?"

Maritza chokes out between loud sobs, Juliana stayed strong and fought her tears

"there's no way the man will let me go with him when he doesn't even know how old I am, right?"

Juliana says now looking at Flaca who was secretly recording everything

"what?"

she says as she had spaced out wanting to give them their space

"if the judge knows that he doesn't even know the simplest things about me and he knows what a great mami mami is, he won't take me away right?"

Juliana says now a tear leaving her eye

"if the judge does that, then he's not human princesa, it's obvious who you belong with"

Flaca responds crouching next to her to be at her level

"that's not a yes"

Juliana says breaking eye contact with her and once more crushing her body against her mother now letting her tears go and letting herself fully break down

"baby, c'mon don't do that"

Maritza cries, but Juliana was fully crying loudly, wailing, bawling her eyes out and yelling against her mother's chest as she gripped her shirt tightly to pull her closer then she already was
