Two days after waking up and being pampered by her man and her princess, Luz is discharged, so shecan finish her recovery at home. On the way, Gerard sits in the middle of the two, holding Luz in her armsand Charlize holding him by the hand, since she is in her chair. -I see that the princess no longer hasproblems using the chair – says Luz – -He learned that it’s for security – Gerard smiles at him and letsthe scent of jasmine from his girl flood him –What do you want to do when you get home? -Shower, getinto bed and hug them. I want them to leave me in the middle and pamper me a lot. -Whatever you say,my Little Light. A surprise awaits you at home. “We’ll see what it’s all about,” she says, raising aneyebrow. -You’ll love it, mommy! The rest of the journey Luz does in silence, while she listens to Charlizetalk about her days. It is incredible that in five days so many things happened to the little girl. When thecar finally stops in front of the house, George waits outside with Evangeline, both of them come over tohelp Charlize and Luz down. As soon as she sees George next to her, she lunges for a hug, becausethat was one of the first questions she asked Gerard when she walked back in that day. “Miss,” he sayswith tears in his eyes. I’m so glad you’re okay, home. I’m glad nothing happened to you… -Just a fewscratches, nothing to worry about, but the gentleman has insisted that I take a week to recover. -Thegentleman has done well – leaves him a kiss on the cheek and a smile – Gerard takes her into her arms,eliciting a little gasp of surprise from her. -Hey, I’m not as light as before! – You’re still a feather to me.When he gets inside her, he takes her to the living room and sits her on the sofa, but before she askshim why he leaves her there and not on the edge of the stairs, her parents, Matías and Rafael, come out.– Raphael! -she tries to stand up, but he stops her- -Stay there my girl – she gives him a hug that lastslong enough for Gerard to start clearing his throat. She barely moves away from Rafael and looks atGerard with a pout – “Hold on, Finnick, because I haven’t seen my friend in a million years!” She – shehugs Rafael again and then separates from her with tears in her eyes. I feel responsible for everythingthat happened to you, I’m so sorry… -Are you kidding?! You are not to blame for anything, it was all amisunderstanding and that will now help me to be very careful when hiring people and especially thecontrol I have in the company… -And tell me – she approaches him to whisper – Have you already

talked to …? Rafael stands up, walks over to Evangeline and kisses her, making the girl blush. Everyoneapplauds and finally, Matías can approach to hug his sister, Then her parents do, who don’t stop cryingand hugging her. At that moment Luz’s belly begins to move and she laughs, her son is excited by thefamily reunion. Everyone talks excitedly, until Luz yawns. Gerard stands up, takes her in his arms andthose present stare at him admiringly. -Well, I’m very sorry, but my wife is tired. They already saw her,she is aware of her, she is still her and now she must go do what the doctor told her, rest. They laugh atthe way he takes her and Matías feels happy for his sister, because it is obvious that Gerard loves her,he is a good man despite the unfortunate way they met and everything he has done just for her, issomething that goes beyond a simple love. -You’re rude, Gerard… you can’t leave the guests alone. -They are not alone, Charlize has stayed with them. I’m sure she won’t mind taking them out to thegarden, holding hands with her… with… your brother.” Luz laughs as she sets her down in front of theroom and walks back. -Where are you going?! – To replace my daughter! I forgot that she is dazzled by yourbrother. -No! She already leaves the girl alone. She’ll get over it with time, I’ll take care of teaching herthat she’s her uncle. That he’s too old for her, whatever…come. 1 – You are… a sorceress, woman – hetakes her by the hand and together they enter a room where there is a beautiful light blue wooden cradle— -Gerard…-she reaches out to touch her and then looks at her man-. -One day you told me that youwould like to have the baby as close as possible-hugs her and looks at her stuffed animal lying there-.And I wanted to fulfill your wish. -But… you placed it wrong, because the crib should be on that side,that’s where I sleep. “Do you think I’ll let you get up in the middle of the night to give him a bottle or tochange him?” We are going to make a lot of improvements to this room, to make it as comfortable aspossible for the baby. -Gerard, Charlize is going to want the same… -We set you up a bed here! -And mycuchi’cuchi?! – She asks him with a pout and Gerard laughs- – We have at least four more rooms, myoffice, the kitchen, the garden, the gym… the shower – he removes her sweater and kisses her tenderly-. If we have to sleep with our children for a few months, so that you are calm and they are happy, we willdo it. “You’re crazy,” she tells him, unzipping her jacket and taking it off. Love you. -And I you – sheescapes in her with a sob-. You don’t know how afraid I felt of losing you… “I’m sorry…I almost didn’tcome back,” she tells him embarrassedly, while Gerard doesn’t stop to undress her. I was afraid that you

would lie to me again, that they are things that I can no longer forgive… -How to cheat with another, forexample? – she nods and he takes her by the chin so that she looks at his face – Luz, have I given yousigns of wanting to be with another? Do you think I don’t love you enough to look for another woman? -Idon’t think so…it’s just… – Light of my heart. I’ll tell you something that instead of embarrassing me, fillsme with pride… in my whole life I’ve fallen in love twice and I’ve only been with two women, Margaretand you. If that night I agreed to be with a woman I didn’t even know, it was because that thing Dan gaveme was driving me crazy and a shower wasn’t going to take it away. She nods and Gerard kisses her,pulling her to him. They finish undressing and get into the shower together, where Gerard is in charge ofwashing her hair, cleaning her body and then drying her. He replaces pajamas for her, but before he coversher belly, he brings her stretch mark cream and applies it to Luz’s belly. -I read that, when the belly startsto grow more, her mother gets itchy. This cream helps prevent that from happening. -I hate applyingcreams, Gerard, you know… I don’t like the feeling it leaves on my hands. “You won’t do it,” she tells him,leaving a kiss on her annoying little beak and then on her belly, where her son moves. I made anappointment for the day after tomorrow, I want to confirm that he will be an Ethan. -What if he was anAurore? – She asks with amusement–You buy me a shotgun, instead of bibs. She laughs and reachesout her arms to hug her man, he is a jealous boy in a man’s body, but that makes him the most wonderfulof all.
