Aranza POV: Age - 24
I wake up the next morning early as usual and as I get up I realize Antonio is gone but my heart flutters as I hear him slightly. I get up and getting my night robe on I move to where he is and I find him in the kitchen. I enjoy watching him for a bit before I go in and I sit on the counter. When he notices me he smiles cheerfully. He speaks to me in his native language, I suppose it is, I recognize as Spanish from Spain.
Antonio-The beautiful queen of my heart is awake.
He kisses my forehead and I laugh before I answer in Spanish as well.
-You are such a flatterer.
A-The truth is not flattery.
-What else is the truth?
A-That I love you. That you're beautiful.
-I love you too.
A-I sure hope this is to your liking. I made breakfast and I made a healthy omelet and I made you a, the drink I most like from here. More than my own, warm milk with honey.
-Sounds tasty, delicious. I want to try it, pretty please.
He smiles at me and I can't help but laugh.
-Sorry. I tend to act childish when I'm happy.
A-No problem, I liked it and besides, I am making you happy. Right?
I nod and so I grab a bite. I only realize I'm stuffing myself when he laughs as he speaks.
A-Hungry much?
I start to chew my food and I regain my composure slowly.
-Hungry, delicious and I have a naturally big appetite.
A-You are so beautiful.
-Don't say that. You'll make me blush with embarrassment.
A-My goddess. Easy now, sorry, I just like telling you how much I love you and how happy I am to be your boyfriend at last.
-I know but I rather cuddle and act than
speak and tell. Come with me.
I grab his hands and going to the living room I get to the balcony with him.
-Sit with me.
I get him on the small couch I got there and even though there's space that I fit in there I sit to cuddle on his lap and he let's me do it.
-I love the balcony. Is relaxing.
A-It is and you got a great view.
-Are you from Spain or heritage from there or what?
A-I recently moved here from Spain. I came to be fully independent.
-You got family?
A-Had. Dad died protecting unborn me and mom at assault. Mom was..............
-You can tell me another time. I don't mind.
A-Thanks.
I smile as I feel him kissing my forehead and I cuddle further in his chest until I fall asleep once more.

Zabdi POV: Age - 19
I arrive home from work and I find that dad is already there and he calls out to me.
Cy-Zabdi, how was work?
-Good but hard.
I sit in the couch and I lean into him as he sits at my side.
Cy-Tired?
-Exhausted.
Cy-You stayed extra time on your first day of work. Your exhaustion is expected.
I clench my teeth hard as I try to contain my tears. I manage to contain them but is way too late, dad notices my change as it happens and of course he asks.
Cy-What's wrong?
I take a deep breath before I answer.
-It hurts. A lot. Everything is........I only have my job.
Cy-Enough. Rest, get some sleep and we can speak when you wake up.
-Let me stay here with you.
Cy-Alright.
I stay in my dad's arms where I know I'm always safe and there when I need it. I fall asleep quickly having the safety of my dad.
......................Some weeks later...................
Nightmare
I find myself happy as I arrive at the party. I just walk along the room and I'm not sure why but the sounds fade. I can see them laughing and speaking but I can't hear them at all, not them and neither can I hear the music or any sounds from nature. Nothing. Is like I'm deaf. I turn to speak but I find that my voice is gone. Silence. I start to freak out and as I start to freak out I notice they're all looking at me. They smile and they laugh at me. I try to scream but my voice won't come out.
-<Go away! Leave me alone! No! Leave me in peace!>
I keep trying to express my feelings but still nothing comes out and so I start crying.

Cyrus POV: Age - 72
I am working at my room just organizing my things for work tomorrow before heading to bed for the night when I hear it. At first I doubt I heard it right but as I pay closer attention I realize is my daughter screaming.
-Zabdi? Zabdi!
I storm out of my room and going towards hers I get on her side to try and wake her from this nightmare.
-Zabdi? Zabdi, baby girl, hey wake up baby girl. Zabdi.
She wakes up and she seems scared and confused for a moment before she realizes what's happening.
Zabdi-Dad?
-Easy now, just..........
Zabdi-Daddy.
She hugs me crying and I hold her comfortingly.
-Is alright. There there, I'm here. I'm here.
I hold her and I let her cry as much as she needs to and as long as she wants. I sigh and I worry as these nightmares are getting worse by the day. Ever since she started working she's been having frequent nightmares, she stays extra shifts at work. She doesn't goes out anymore, she went from a few to none and as her father, I worry. I sigh and as she calms down I hold her back a little bit.
-Zabdi, little one.
Zabdi-I hate feeling like this. I don't like it.
-Wait here, I'll bring you some warm milk.
Zabdi-No, don't leave me alone. Stay here with me.
She holds me and smiling gently I sit back with her.
-Does this makes you happy?
Zabdi-Yes it does.
I smile and we stay silent for a while before she speaks.
Zabdi-Dad, do you ever wish mom was here? Or to find another love?
-I miss your mom, sometimes more than others but even though I do wish she would be back I know I can't have her again so, I might eventually find a new love.
Zabdi-Does your love has to be dead to find a new one?
-Not really. Why do you ask?
Zabdi-I'm not sure. Is easy to plan out things when you don't have to live them but once you get to living them you never act as you thought you would.
-It is hard.
Zabdi-Remember my party? When I celebrated getting my job.
-I remember. You changed after that.
Zabdi-Do you want to know why I changed?
-Only if you want to tell me, I can wait a while more if you need it.
She considers her options carefully before she speaks and I listen.

She organizes her thoughts before she speaks.
Zabdi-That night, at first the party was good and enjoyable. I got a good time but eventually I got annoyed by so much noise and so many people so I snuck out with my boy.............with my exboyfriend. We, I wanted to just be and hang out with him but he was definitely having other plans.
I know what she will say or at least where she's going with this but I still let her end.
Zabdi-I almost fell for his trap. He tried to soothe me into it but as I still rejected him he tried to, unsuccessfully force himself on me.
-Unsuccesfully.
Zabdi-I was willing to talk to him later and maybe even forgive him but................
-Is alright. What happened?
Zabdi-When I rejected him a second time he went away angry. I manage to calm down myself and I tried to enjoy the rest of the night. I only found that he got with someone else what he didn't got with me.
-What happened?
Zabdi-We never got back together after that.
-Do you want to have him back again?
Zabdi-No but I would like to find someone else. Would you let me?
-Sure but this time however, take your time with it.
Zabdi-I will. Thank you dad.
-My pleasure. Now come here, come.
I sit her in front of me and so I start cleaning her face.
-Let's clean this tears away and replace them with a smile.
She laughs and I smile.
-See? That's so much better.
Zabdi-It feels better. Can you stay until I fall asleep again?
-Sure.
With that I cuddle her to sleep.

Mugi POV: Age - 45
I smile as I see my kids playing together. The eldest twins are 13, the girl twins are 8 and the youngest are 3. The eldest twins, Ilkay and Sharik, make sure their twin sisters, Kaya and Lumi, can help their even youngest twin brothers, Mekal and Senshi as they follow around. The eldest two made a competition of their chores. Who can help them better? Who can help them faster? Who can make them happier? Ilkay, Kaya and Mekal are together while Sharik, Lumi and Senshi make another group. My sister notices my distraction and she leans on my shoulder.
Neva-Your kids are great.
-My kids.
Neva-There comes one of them.
Ilkay-Hi dad.
He approaches with nervous determination. I turn to him and ask.
-What happened?
Ilkay-Are we going to eat yet?
-Just a bit more. Keep working your appetite until then.
He seems down at that before she speaks.
Neva-Would you like to help us?
He cheers up at the option and he looks at me hopeful.
Ilkay-Can I?
-Not right now. You can help after dinner. Go work the appetite.
He nods before he goes join his siblings and, very easily, he gets back on the game with them. I turn to keep cooking but Neva pushes me out.
Neva-Go on out and play with your kids.
-No problem by me. Kids, let me join in on your game.
I integrate easily on their game and they let me wathever as I just help them with wathever.

Two years later
Aranza POV: Age - 26
I smile as I wake up to my now fiancee on the bed. I enjoy his sleeping features for a while before I cuddle into him careful not to wake him. I close my eyes and I listen to his heartbeat, feel the warmth of his body, smell his fresh and very manly scent and it doesn't takes long to remember last night. His proposal and what happened afterwards. I cuddle more into him and I get surprised when his hold on me tightens.
A-Morning.
-Antonio.
I laugh as he pins me on the bed and he gets on top of me just watching me. He caresses my cheek and I lean into the touch gently.
A-So beautiful and soon you'll be my wife. The most beautiful bride in the world.
-You are mine already and I yours, we're just telling the world about it.
A-You know what I want to do right now.
-What?
A-For the lack of better phrasing at the moment I will say, I want to impregnate you.
-You got to wait until after the wedding for that one.
A-Unfortunately but we could hurry the wedding.
-Or we could still do it for the pleasure instead. The babies will come later but while we wait...................
A-I believe getting out of bed is not my priority right now.
-What is your priority?
He smirks at the thought before he says in a very soft voice.
A-Make you mine again and please you even more than last night.
Grabbing a condom from the night table I open it for him.
-Do it.
He kisses me and eagerly our starting laughs turn into loud moans of pleasure as we make love yet again.
