Chapter 136 - CHAPTER 133 (1/2)
Little Emerald runs down the corridor from her room to Ermanno's room wearing her onesies the next morning and tries to open the door but could not so she bangs on his door with her small hands.
”Daddy wake up,” said Emerald.
Ermanno opens his eyes and sees Xavier sleeping beside him.
He again hears the soft banging on the door. He smiles listening to Emerald call him. He gets out of bed and walks to the door and opens it.
Emerald looks at him and then covers her eyes with her small teeny tiny hands.
”Daddy you are n.a.k.e.d,” said Emerald.
Ermanno laughs and says ”I am wearing pants”
”But not a shirt,” said Emerald still covering her eyes.
Ermanno went inside and wore a t-shirt and came out and picked Emerald in his arms and threw her on his shoulder.
Emerald laughs and Ermanno tickles her and takes her downstairs and sees Rose preparing breakfast wearing a t-shirt, leggings and socks.
'Of course, she is wearing socks' thought Ermanno.
Rose smiles at Ermanno which he doesn't return.
Rose looks down and stops smiling.
'Mr trying too hard to be a tough guy' said Rose in her mind
”Daddy I want to see the balcony,” said Emerald and Ermanno nodded.
Rose saw them go out and as soon they went out they came in.
Emerald was hugging Ermanno tight.
”It's cold out there,” said Emerald and Ermanno laugh and both sat on the living room couch.
Ermanno covered her with a small blanket on the head of the couch and started talking.
Rose saw both of them and smiled.
Every time Rose saw Emerald talking to Ethan she would imagine Emerald talking to Ermanno.
”Daddy I can count numbers and say alphabets” said Emerald.
”Can you tell me” said Ermanno.
”Aanhann” said Emerald and started singing the alphabets.
Rose looked up the clock and then decided to go wake up Xavier.
”Xavi, get up,” said Rose.
Xavier opened his eyes and sees Rose's smiling face. He sits up and sees the room and makes pouty lips and starts shedding tears.
”Xavi, what's wrong?” Asked Rose seated on the bed with him.
”Mama wakes me up every day,” said Xavier.
”I know you miss her. If you give me a chance I would like to help you today” said Rose.
Xavier looked at Rose with anger and said ”No. You were not there before I don't want you now” and got out of bed and ran into the bathroom and cries.
Rose could hear him cry so she knocked on the door and said ”Xavi. I am sorry I was not here before but please give me a chance. I would really like to help you”.
”Go away” shouted Xavier.
Rose stepped back and shed tears being hurt by his rejection.
Rose wiped her tears and went down to the living room and saw Emerald counting numbers on her little fingers and Ermanno smiling at her.
Rose went close to them and said ”Xavier is awake .Could you help him till I help Emerald clean up”
”Okay. See you later princess” and kissed Emerald's cheek and left her side and looked at Rose and asked, ”why couldn't you help him?”
”I tried, he started shouting and crying,” said Rose and looked down.
”Try harder next time and grandpa called. He has talked to the school and Emerald can join in the school with Xavier,” said Ermanno and left to help Xavier.
Rose saw Ermanno leave and then felt Emerald hug her legs and say ”why are you sad mummy?”
Rose smiled and picked her up and said ”because my baby didn't kiss me today”
Emerald kisses Rose and asked, ”are you happy now?”
”I am very happy. I have what I always wanted. My own family” said Rose and hugged Emerald.
”We are family. Daddy said so too” said Emerald.
