THIS IS A SPECIAL MOTHER'S DAY CHAPTER

This chapter is not in the actual novel. I wrote this specially for mother's day to celebrate all the mothers out there.

WYATT POV:

"Shh!" Smacking his palm on Teo's mouth, Wyatt darted a sharp glare at his brother.

Wyatt was close to wringing Teo's throat for nearly ruining their perfect mother's day surprise. A surprise that took them weeks to plan. Thankfully for Teo and his delicate neck, though, their near-failure was a miss. Vigilant and watchful, Wyatt scanned the hallway one last time. Confident their mother didn't hear a peep, Wyatt signal Luke to sneak out of his room as well.

"Ouf! That was close." Tiptoeing down the stairs, Luke whispered.

"No thanks to this one, over here." Flashing a disapproving glance at Teo, Wyatt berated in an undertone.

Gently and carefully closing the kitchen door behind them, "Hey, it's not my fault I don't have the eyes of a cat." Making sure to keep his voice down, Teo expostulated.

"You don't need the eyes of a cat to know where everything in your room is in the dark. You just need a brain." Pulling all the necessities from the fridge, Wyatt admonished in hushed tones.

Subtly keeping the ceramic bowl on the ceramic countertop, "Keep it down you two. If Teo's stumbling didn't wake mom up, this stupid argument will." Once again being the voice of reason between the three brothers, Luke reprimanded Wyatt and Teo in subdued tones.

Holding each other's glare, Wyatt and Teo silently pondered over Luke's words, what they were doing, what they were supposed to be doing and for whom. "You're right." Pulling what most people would call twin intuition, both of the brothers simultaneously uttered as their annoyance vanished into thin air. Their lips curving up into a smile, their brotherly love once again vanquished the causation of their argument.

"I'll make the latte macchiato and fruit salad." Picking up the De'Longhi Nespresso Gran Lattissima Coffee and Espresso Machine, Teo muttered on his way to the kitchen's private back room.

Soundproof, the kitchen's private back room was ideal for keeping any noise from reaching the ears of anyone in the house for when there were guests, and food was being made. And, today, it played in Teo's, Wyatt's and Luke's advantage.

"I'll prepare my infamous homemade whipped cream." Breezily pouring the heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract in the stand mixer, Wyatt too took the filled stand mixer and walked into the private back room.

Following behind as quietly as possible, Luke held onto his stand mixer filled with a packet of flour, sugar, vanilla extract, butter, eggs and a closed cup of water and milk he had already pre-prepared before heading to bed the previous night. Gingerly keeping the stand mixer on the countertop, Luke went back to lock the door, assuring no noise would make it out of the kitchen area.

Taking his cone of delicious Crème Chantilly out of the fridge, Wyatt gandered a quick glance at the clock on the wall beside the door. "Come on, guys, it's almost time."

"The garnishes and latte macchiato is ready. I'm just waiting on Luke." Sitting on the stool, every so often picking at the fruits, Teo informed.

"It's almost here, just gives it a few more seconds. And Teo, those strawberry are not for you." Turning off the stove, Luke took the time to wipe the residual of flour from his face.
