CHAPTER 186

AUNT MARY

The mood got a little strange after Luna said that Sol was going to lunch, but soon Luis tried to change the subject by asking what they did and Arthur was soon excited, telling that he played in the park with Matteo while Luna watched, that they watched a cartoon that he thought would be boring, but he ended up liking it

Waiter - good evening excuse me your orders have arrived - two waiters filled the table with every kind of food you could imagine, quesadilla, tortilla, nacho, guacamole, empanados and much more, some sauces with spicy and non-spicy options for pregnant women. - Do you want anything else?

Luna - ah yes, I want burritos and enchiladas and you can bring that mustard and honey sauce you make and the chipotle pepper sauce

Alice - ah bring me some onion rings, pollo al límon and for my prince here, papa fritas con salsa de curry

Luis - Don't you think you are asking for too much food?

Luna - Dad, I am eating for two and so is Mom

Matteo - but honey, you ordered food for a battalion

Waiter - Should I cancel?

Luis - yes

Alice/Luna - no

Matteo - Alright, bring it on girl, you can't go against a pregnant woman, imagine two - he says smiling

Alice - that's the way to speak to my beloved son-in-law, learn from him Luis - showing her tongue to her husband -

Arthur - Shall we order desserts after all this? - he asks euphoric, loving to see so much food

Luís - Even you, Arthur, can stand to eat all this?

Arthur -ah dad of course, and there is not that much, there are five of us here and two eat for two, we are a small battalion - smiling

Luna - My brother who is younger than you is smarter, after this you can choose the desserts, little brother

Arthur - obaaaaaa let me see what's there mommy? - Alice takes the menu to read to her son

Alice - we have fresa mostachon

Luna - I want some - licking her lips

Alice - pesl de tres leches ,pastel de eleote, pestel de chocolate con pimenta but we can't have that, milk jam cheesecake - this one I want - mayo chocolate pie

Luna/Arthur - for me too

Alice - great for all three

Luis - my God, lucky money is not a problem for our family, let's make this restaurant rich today

Alice - oh honey, what a bad mood this is, it doesn't even seem like we dated a little today

Matteo - Are you sure it was just a little bit? I thought he was dying when I called him

Luis - More respect to me boy - Alice let out a laugh

Alice - You are right darling, it wasn't much, but it wasn't enough to satisfy your longing, isn't it love - kissing Luís passionately - kissing him - kissing him passionately

Arthur - who was eating - kiss that is disgusting, will you stop kissing if you don't want to spoil my dinner

Luna - replied the brother with his mouth full - do not be boring boy eat soon, otherwise I'll get your nachos

Arthur - oh you starving girl the table is full of food, leave mine here and mine is full of pepper, my nephew still can't

So they stayed there eating, talking, joking, laughing at Arthur's antics, and he started talking about names again, wanting to choose his sister's and nephew's, but nobody chose a name. Alice and Luís were decided to choose the name only after the baby was born, to see the little face and what would match. After everyone had already eaten. Everyone was looking forward to Matteo's proposal. Luis passed the ring box to him under the table covertly and he decided to start talking.

Matteo," clearing his throat, "then dear I asked your parents to come here, because I want to apologize to them first, for stealing their little princess and for not doing the right thing.

Luna - I do not understand - confused -

Matteo - you will understand honey, it's just that we did everything the other way around, didn't we? And I never actually asked your father or my father for your hand. In fact, it just happened and your mother helped us move in together. But there was never a formal request and I know you always said you didn't want to get married just yet. But after the last few events, the fear I had of losing you and our son forever, I can't think of anything else but having you for the rest of my life, I don't want to ever be without you, I would die without you.

Luna - crying - love... I don't know what to say –

Matteo - kneels down and opens the little box with the rings - but I know say yes, Luna marry me? Allow me to love you and to be happy every day. I know I'm not perfect, but I promise to strive to be the best husband and father to our children. Will you marry me Luna?

Luna - YES, YES, YES Of course I will marry you, I love you, I love you - jumping on top of her now fiancé kissing him

Everyone in the restaurant applauded to see that beautiful scene of the couple, Alice was all emotional crying and Luis was proud of them, Arthur jumped for joy. The couple was in their own little world kissing and promising to love each other. Matteo puts the ring on Luna's hand and then Arthur jumps into Matteo's lap

Arthur - take care of my sister and my nephew, otherwise you will be beaten - he says jokingly - finally you will get married - hugs his sister still on Matteo's lap and gives her a kiss - congratulations little sister, congratulations brother-in-law - jumps from brother-in-law's lap

Alice - I am so proud of you my son, I can't believe that my baby is getting married and much less that I am going to be a grandmother.

Luís - I am very happy for you my children, I hope you are as happy as Alice and I are and that you fulfill your dreams. I know you wanted to travel the world before having a baby, postpone the dream, but don't give up, one day you will make it

Alice - even if it's little by little, but never give up on your dreams and never lie to each other, always be sincere and talk

Luis - Dialogue and trust, besides love are the main pillars for a successful relationship

Luna - Thank you mommy and daddy, I am really proud to be your daughter. Mom you have changed so much you are the best mother in the world and I hope to be half of what you are to me and my brothers.

Matteo - and me a father and husband like you godfather, you and my father are my greatest example and you for a long time were the only person who really took care of me, so you are to blame or not for the man I have become, I never imagined that one day I would be your son-in-law

Luís - The world goes around, right son, who would say a few years ago that I would have a beautiful daughter like this, I understand you for having fallen in love with her right away, it was like this between Alice and me

Arthur - aaaaai credo can you stop this sweetness? let's go soon I'm tired, we have to pack our things to leave tomorrow night - jumping for joy - I have so many things to tell Bernardo

Alice - then let's go, in fact I am also tired and want to enjoy a good night's sleep cuddled up with my love

Arthur - I understood the message, bossy lady, I can't sleep with you tonight, but that's ok, I have already missed my father

Matteo and Luna wanted to celebrate their engagement, but Luna was very tired, the day had been hard and her stomach was already starting to feel heavy. So they left the celebration until they were home.
