I stare over the table at her. Grow a backbone, for fuck’s sake.
Ugh..

Serafina is as beautiful as they come, tall, dark and with a body to die for. Italian to the bone, and nothing about her interests me in the slightest
I think I’m broken.
I subtly glance at my watch, two hours until I can get the hell out of here.
Laughter and screams sound through my house as i chase two naked toddlers around with nappies. To them, getting out of the bath and having me chase them around with clothes is the funniest thing ever, and I have to admit, wvon I love it.
My babies are eighteen months old, the biggest blessing and the absolute loves of my life. Our home is filled with laughter and thats i much love.
Dominic is the oldest, he has dark wavy hair, and olive skin with big brown eyes, he’s a mini version of his father. Personality and all, he’s feisty and short tempered, dominant and intelligent and the biggest mommy’s boy of all time. And then there’s Lucia, we call her Lucy for short. Although she looks like her father, with her dark hair and big brown eyes, she couldn’t be more different Tiny compared to Dominic, she’s calm and placul with the sweetest little nature. She idolizes her brother and has a quiet confidence about her. While Dominic wants to sit curled up on my lap. Locy prefers to sit with Buddy on the couch, she doesnt want to sit on my lap, she’s so undependent

I’m not lying, we really don’t I go back to work next month, and today our new panny arrives. I’ve minted up a plan and in my head makes perfect sense, but in reality. I have no idea how it’s actually going in the out
Dehand I have spent hours and bears discussing how the future is going in go down and one thing is strikingly clear: I need in prepare for the day they ask who their father is I can lie to the world about artificial insemination, but I will never lie to thieni
When they ask, and they will. I’ll tell them the truth.
1 need to prepare them the best of my ability, I need them to learn about Italian culture, speak the language and appreciate the i nur heritages.
I’ve hired
a young Italian naismy, she arrives today.
She’s going to study teaching part time at the college and live here rent free with pay, in exchange for minding the kids while I work three days a week and teaching them how to speak Italian.
They need to learn it along with English, new, in their formative years. And besides, it will kill two birds with a new roommate, the kids will benefit and she gets to live in America for a few years. It’s a win–win situation
stone. I can go back to work and get hope.
We stand at the arrival terminal, the children are sitting in their double stroller and are completely preoccupied with their obsession, and I’m about to go into cardiac arrest.
This is a terrible idea, what the hell was I thinking?
A stranger living in my house she could be a serial killer or anything. Those references could be completely doctored.
sesli barn, their latest
I get a vision of how feral the twins can be and my temperature rises. What if she’s a princess, I can’t deal with perfect princesses.
Our life is chaotic, and Buddy our dog sleeps on the couch when he isn’t supposed to and our house isn’t always tidy and I begin to feel sick to my stomach
e I done?
What have
My phone heeps a text.
Just getting off the plane now
She’s here,
I smile and nervously type bark,
We’re at the arrival gate.
I’m the one with the double stroller.
The people begin to walk down the ramp and I watch on with my heart in my throat. “Look, here comes Maria,” I tell them. “Behave please, no Tantrums today.”They keep munching on their muesli bars, totally uninterested in anything I say.
I see a young girl with dark hair, and she sees me and smiles and waves.
She’s wearing a gray tracksuit and her long dark hair is up in a high ponytail. She bounces over. “Aria?” “Maria?” I smile awkwardly
Tm so glad to be here.” She laughs and pulls me into a hug. “Thank you so much for picking me up.” She’s normal.
She bends down to lean into the stroller. “And who are you? This is Maria,” I tell them. “This is Lucy and Dominie.” “Hello, cuties.” She smiles.
Dominic accidently drops his muesli har op the ground and without missing a beat, Maria bends and picks it up with her hare hands
“Oh, that’s gross, sorry I wince. “Let me take that.”
“No, I’ve got it.” She pulls a tissue out of her pocket and wraps the sloppy muesli bar up. “We’ll get another one when we get home,” she tells him. “Lick your fingers.”
Adios My Plan Hubby. I’m DONE Being Your Submissive Wife!
Dominic smiles up at her all awestruck and licks his fing
And just like that everything falls into place. Suddenly, I know that this is going to be wonderful. That she is going in he wonderful and the world in officially saved.
She gives me a big, friendly smile. Let’s g go home.”
I pull the car into the parking lot of the mechanie’s, damn it, this is a shit fight. I quickly give the car a nesten up and collect the receipts and coffee cups in the front console. Why does my car service always fall on the most chaotic of days? Maria had a college assignment due this morning, so I was up helping her with that until late last night, and then this morning Botsinde was rounding through the home and bumped his head. To top it off. Boddy went out this morning and get completely covered in and, came back through the doggy door and rubbed it all over the living room and och at if it were a trophy.
Ugh It’s been the morning from hell and I haven’t stopped running since the moment I woke up.
I would have canceled the car service if it were not for one small detall..
“Hey, you.” a raspy voice calls from inside the office and 1 smile.
