Kissing her forehead Dolores smirked studying the work.

"Yes it is darling. A really good art project can I have a picture?"

"Oh really? You can get it but you have to pay first but the price I don't know if you can afford." Playing along the brunette took a serious like voice.

"I want a picture with the artist do I have to still pay?" Wriggling her eyebrows at her Dolores said soon laughing they stood in front of the huge snowman to take a picture when the phone was taken away by Cristal.

"I will do that Mom."

After many shots perks of having a child who happened to love photography, the women had family picture with all the kids.

"They are all wonderful Cris! Jesus! How did you do it? They looked nothing as the others in the gallery." Pleased by the woman praise Cristal face became so different in a matter of second like the last wall she had on just shattered. She beamed with a smile that illuminated the garden.

"Whoa Mom you saw that too?" Taking his camera that hung on his neck Leo snapped few shots of the three engrossed in the phone. Cristal had her arm around Mackenzie back clinging to her as the woman had Elena on her other hip the phone in between her and the teenager.

"Yes, buddy I saw it." Glancing up at her since she called him like Mackenzie will do, Leo smiled to his mother liking better that her version of her.

"What buddy I don't get to call you like that?" As he shook her head at her she shoved him with her shoulder playfully.

"Sure that you do Mom. You know I'm happy, those are the best holiday ever."

Messing with his hairs the older woman only had to give in feeling the same all her life she had wanted to feel her heart alive like it was that very moment, seen her family around her the small disturbing factor was that Mackenzie didn't like it in her mother house as Leo mingled in the heat conversation on knowing how Cristal did, Dolores left them with her phone going back in, searching her mother that she found in the library watching the scenery that was taking place in the backyard.

Their eyes met as soon as her daughter entered a complex look on.

"Hey! Mom." Sitting near her Dolores didn't knew how to started it when her mother surprised her.

"I put my foot in the plate right?" At her daughter audible sigh she shook her head knowingly.

"I knew it. Now she doesn't want to stay here anymore. Don't please... I know those things. I have been at this window for two hours already looking at her playing with the kids and I know for sure that she is much more as your last stubborn child Elena. Look how she is herself around that woman of yours. She doesn't force it. I tried to bring her there you know we saw doctor for her, now she is a normal kid around Mackenzie. She really liked the living room color." Massaging her temple with her index she stated the obvious regretfully.

"Yes Mom she did, that is how her old flat is. All the same white some may get sick just by the sight. If you look in Cris or Leo gallery you could see it they took plenty of pictures there last week even in her bedroom. The blue is the second color she like, baby blue or ocean blue." Wringles that was hardly seen on Aurora face shown as she frowned at herself.

"I'm sure if the kids wasn't there she would have been already gone. She doesn't liked it here, I can tell it by how she would looked at my house like it was the evil place. I'm not joking... look."

With a movement of her head she motioned her daughter to see how Mackenzie was looking at the house with disdain, it was evident that she was cold but she forced herself to stay out having the kids as an excuse to not come back in.
