On the first day they were allowed to pick up Alex, they went to pick him up early to enjoy more time with him. Arriving at the shelter, they went to the principal's office to sign the disclaimer and wait for Alex to arrive.

-Aunts! - He ran to embrace the two.

-Hi Alex! - said Irene.

-Hi, little one! - Said Tamara.

-The aunt said that we are going for a walk. I love to stroll.

-Then say goodbye to us to go. - Tamara said, pointing to the director.

-Bye, aunt.

-Bye, Alex.

They put him in the car and went to the Children's Museum. He kept asking questions the whole way and they answered everything, very patiently. They looked at each other and smiled, feeling like mothers for the first time.

When they got there, Alex was very excited and wanted to see everything at the same time.

-You can go wherever you want, okay? But, you need to choose a place to go first. - Said Tamara.

- I want there.

-It's all right. We will stay here looking at you.

-Yay!

He ran to play and they watched every step he took.

-Love, what if he falls and gets hurt? - said Irene.

-Love, it happens to all children. It's normal. - Embraced Irene - We can't treat him differently, remember?

-Truth. But, I'm so afraid.

-I have it too, but we can't show anything. He has to go through everything, as everyone does, to live.

-You're right. – Kissed Tamara - I look like my mother.

-Hahahaha - kissed Irene - Will you be grumpy just like her?

-Tam! - Patted Tamara - It's your mother-in-law!

-Excuse. - She said and laughed.

-But, you're right. - Laughed - My mother is terrible!

-Irene, speaking of which, do you think she will accept Alex? - Asked Tamara, concerned.

-Well, she may even accept it, but it should take a while. You know how it is, a pit of prejudice.

-But are you willing to face it?

-Of course yes. My son is more important and I will defend him from everyone.

-How beautiful, love! - Kissed Irene - You have my support.

-I know. - Took Tamara's hand with the ring - For life, remember?

-For the whole life! - kissed Irene.

-Aunts! - Alex came running and saw the two kissing.

-Hi dear. What's it? - Asked Irene, embarrassed.

-I'm hungry.

-What do you think about eating a sandwich?

-Can?

-Of course yes. Come on!

They took his hand and took him to the snack bar.

-Aunt, why were you kissing the other aunt? - Alex asked Tamara, leaving Irene disconcerted.

-Because she is my wife. - took Irene's hand and showed the ring.

-Oh cool. Aunt, can I have ice cream too?
