"I appreciate that you always donate to our school Miss Sciacca but this... It's the fifth time already. The other parents already complaining about him and they want him to transfer to the other school." Mrs. Branson, the headteacher of the preschool said solemnly as she looked towards the little boy beside Evaleen.

Evaleen gave a wry smile and sighed. She looked beside her and slowly reached and taps the little boy's head. She smiles even though a pain kind of look could be seen behind her eyes.

"Mrs. Branson, I promise this would be the last time. I'm going to drill his head tonight and if this happens again then I am going to transfer him to another preschool." Evaleen spoke as she looked towards Mrs. Branson.

Mrs. Branson sighed. She was having a headache for she never met this kind of troublesome kid. There would be always a naughty child around the school but she never met someone who would cause a big issue like this. Fighting for once, she may still pardon the act but for the fifth time?

"Miss Sciacca I understand that you are always busy with your work and also a mother of two but can you please talk to him and try to understand why is he behaving like this?" Mrs. Branson finally gave her a decision. She would give this kid another chance.

"I will Mrs. Branson. Thank you." Evaleen smiles as she stands up and follows by the little boy and Mrs. Branson.

"Still, he still has a week of suspension to reflect on his behaviour, Miss Sciacca." Mrs. Branson walks towards the door and opens it.

"I understand Mrs. Branson. Thank you once again." Evaleen spoke while she holds the little boy's hand. Once she stepped outside the head teacher's office she could see a little girl with two bags beside her. When the little girl saw Evaleen, she jumped and takes the two bags and run towards Evaleen and the boy.

"Mummy what did the big head say?" the little girl asked. Evaleen sigh when she heard the nickname given to the headteacher. She could feel her head start to throb.

"Both of you will be explaining things towards mummy once we reach home," Evaleen spoke while taking the two bags from the little girl and take her hand on her left side.

"What explaining do we need to tell, the other kids were bullying us and big brother gave them a lesson. Such a simple thing and the other kids were crying to their mama. Such a kid!" The little girl spoke with her voice loud enough for some teacher around the teacher's office shook their head. Evaleen could only give a bitter laugh. Why would her kids be like this? Sigh~

"You can speak your grievance once we reach home." Evaleen raises her white flag, she was exhausted and need a rest before she can handle her kids.

Kids, whoever could think that she was pregnant when she travels around the world in her fifth month? She never thought that she will have these two when she was trying to heal her heart. She didn't notice her period since her menstrual cycle never been consistent that is why she never even bother to check but who could ever think that a simple question from a stranger would change her world?

But she is happy, happy that finally, she has children that she can call her own. She is happy that she did not drink that wine that night, she is finally happy and glad that she made that decision that night.

Even though there is no man around her pregnancy she still manages to give birth to a twin, a surprise gift for her. Having her morning sickness around her fourth month, having her moods going up and down at the beginning of her pregnancy, facing an eight hour of labor pain everything was nothing when she saw the two little faces of her children.
