Ruth was nine months old and was already eating fruit and baby food. When Tamara was home, she insisted on feeding Ruth, as she was unable to breastfeed her. So while Irene was having lunch, she was trying to get Ruth to eat the vegetable soup.

-Ruth, opens your mouth. - She tried to put a spoonful and Ruth immediately turned her face away - Look, she got all dirty. - Tamara wiped her face with a bib - Daughter, help mom.

-I think she didn't like the color of the soup, she must be finding it strange. - Irene said.

-But the pediatrician said she needed to vary. She cannot eat only potatoes.

-I know love. Try again.

-Look, Ruth. - She took the spoon and pretended to eat - How delicious.

-Dada dada

-She meant: You are not fooling me. - Irene said and laughed.

-Please honey. - She took the spoon and brought it to Ruth's mouth, but, she hit the spoon with her hand and dropped it on the table - Daughter!

-Hahahaha

-Love, stop laughing and help me. - Tamara dried Ruth's hand and the table - Look, daughter. Mama Irene is going to eat. - She took the spoon to Irene so she could pretend she was eating.

-Hummm, how tasty! Eat, daughter. Now is your turn.

Tamara offered it to Ruth and she accepted.

-Ah, girl...- said Tamara - Do you only eat because Mama Irene said it's good?

-She didn't trust your face, love. - Irene laughed - You have to pretend better.

-The actress here is you. - Tamara said - Eat more, daughter. - She took another spoonful and Ruth ate. - Very good!

Tamara kept feeding the soup and Ruth ate it all. Irene gathered up the plates and glasses and went to wash them. Tamara went to get Ruth out of the chair.

-Mom

-What is it, daughter? Do you want mommy Irene? She will be back shortly.

-Mom

-Love, Ruth is calling you. - Tamara said and began to cry - Mom is coming, daughter.

Irene came running.

-What?

-I think Ruth is calling you.

-Mom

-Did you see?

-Love... - Irene began to cry - She's talking.

-Yes. Love, she's talking.

-Tell me again, daughter. - Irene asked crying.

Ruth didn't speak.

-Ruth, speaks: Mom. - Tamara asked.

-Mom

-I knew! - Irene laughed, still crying - I knew it!

-What is it, love? - Tamara asked.

-I knew she would say: Mom to you first. Do you remember our bet?

-I remember. But aren't you upset?

-Of course not love. - Irene wiped her tears smiling - You deserve it as much as I do.

-This is one of the happiest days of my life, love. - Tamara kissed Irene - Thank you for allowing me to live this moment.

-You don't have to be thankful for anything, love. - He kissed Tamara - I'm also very happy. Your happiness is my happiness.

-I love you, honey. - She kissed Irene - I love you!

-I love you my love! - She kissed Tamara – Mom Tam!

Tamara picked Ruth up.

-Mum's love, thank you very much for this gift. - He kissed Ruth's cheek - But, you can also call this beautiful thing mother. - Tamara hugged Irene - Because she deserves much more than me.

-I don't deserve it, love. She is more your daughter than mine. She has your DNA.

-Love, DNA does not breed children. You cared for her for the nine months inside the womb and the nine months outside as well.

-Not. I never created it alone; you helped me at all times.

-But most of the time it stays with you, love. You took care of her alone when I was traveling and when I was ill. You are much more important to her than I am.

-But she chose you as the most important mother. Respect her decision, love.

-I am respecting. I just don't want you to be sad about it. - She kissed Irene - You are indispensable and irreplaceable for us.

-I'm not sad, love. You can be calm. - She kissed Tamara - Even because I won the bet.

-Idiot! - She kissed Irene - I will pay you with what you asked and with much more - She kissed Irene - I give you everything you want, love. Everything.

-Mom

-What is it, daughter? - Tamara said - What does my tenderness want? Mom gives you everything too.

-By the smell, I think she gave you another gift, love. - Irene said holding her nose.

Tamara saw that Ruth's diaper was full.

-You can also give this to Mama Irene, daughter.

-No, I dispense. - Irene laughed - Leave it to mom Tam.

-Okay, I change her diaper. - She kissed Irene - Silly!

-Beautiful! - She kissed Tamara - I'll help you.

They changed Ruth's diaper. Then they lay down on the bed with her.

-I would live this day 1000 times more just to feel the joy of that moment, love. - Tamara said.

-Me too - she put his finger on Ruth's hand to she hold it and she put it to her mouth - I think there is nothing more beautiful than watching children learns new things. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

-And you were screwing me to answer. I wish I had tried pregnancy sooner.

-If I had known it was so beautiful, I would have been quick to answer. It was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

-I know that Ruth is still a baby and that this is not the time to think about that, but I would have a child of yours to go through that again.

-We will think about it at the right time, love. But I would also live it again. And, being my son, in his womb, it would be one of the greatest gifts I has ever received. Without a doubt the most valuable.

-I'll give you this gift, love. - She kissed Irene - In two...

-Months?

-Years.

-Months.

-You are crazy?

-No love. - She kissed Tamara - I'm kidding.

-It will take time, but if you want to think about the names...

-I'm going to start thinking because in our life everything happens very fast. From the day we meet again.

-The best decision I made was to say yes to the invitation to do the spin-off two years ago.

-I also made the best decision. - She kissed Tamara - I found the love of my life.

-I love you!

-I love you!
