"you promise?" Asked Ermanno.
"Yep" said Rose and kissed his lips.
"EWWW" screamed Emerald and covered her eyes.
Ermanno laughed and moved Rose and picked Emerald and said "how about I read you bed time story?"
"Okay, you can read Rapunzel" said Emerald.
"Is it about the girl with long hair?" Asked Ermanno.
"Yes, it is. The prince and the evil witch climbs her hair to reach the top of the tower in which she was locked in" said Emerald.
"So you know the story? Why don't we read something you have not read?" Asked Ermanno.
Emerald looked at Ermanno and said "daddy, you are so smart. I didn't think of that"
"You brain is still small. So you will take time to think of all that. Till then I'll help you" said Ermanno.
"Thank you daddy" said Emerald.
"Now, let's find a book which you have not read" said Ermanno and held Emerald in his arm and searched for the book.
Rose smiled at them and then bit her lip and walked out of the room and entered Xavier's room and saw him playing with his toys.
"Xavi, time for bed" said Rose.
Xavier turned to look at Rose and said "why should I listen to you?"
"Because I am your mummy and mummy knows best." said Rose.
"I am not tired" said Xavier and yawned.
"Lier lier pants on fire" said Rose and went behind him and tickles him.
Xavier laughs and inbetween laughs says her to stop.
"I'll stop if you agree to get ready for bed" said Rose and tickled him more.
"Okay okay" laughed Xavier and Rose stopped and circled her arms around him and held him close to her and kissed his forehead.
"I love you Xavi" said Rose.
"Then why did you leave me?" Asked Xavier.
"How about you get ready for bed and I'll tell you the whole story. It's very interesting. It has a bad mean monster in it too" said Rose.
Xavier looked at Rose and said "like real monster?"
"Yes, and before you ask if monsters are real. Then yes, monsters are real. Most of them look like us"
Xavier nodded and went to get ready for bed. He wore his PJ's and got into bed.
Rose tucked Xavier in his car shape bed and sat close to him and moved her hand on his hair and said "you see Xavi. I was not well for a long time. I was in the hospital to get better. And when I got better I didn't know how to reach you without being put in prison. Because a very mean man was keeping you away from me. But I knew I would meet you some day and will show you how much I love you" said Rose.
"Why didn't you beat him up? You should have told dad or papa to beat him up. They are very strong" said Xavier.
"I wish I could. But that is in the past and I am here Xavi, and I promise I will never leave you again. Please forgive me. Give me a chance. If you are a good boy we can all go back to the mansion and stay with your mama and papa" said Rose and Xavier nodded.
He thought for a minute and asked
"Who was the mean man?"
"Your papa knows him. When you meet him next time ask him. That mean man is the one responsible for keeping you away from me." Said Rose.
"I'll ask papa. He knows everything. And will you leave me again?" Asked Xavier.
"Not by my own and if that mean man comes inbetween us again. He will lose cause I am not weak any more and I'll fight him" said Rose.
"And I'll tell papa and he will punch him" said Xavier.
"Xavi, we should fight our own battles. If you want me. Then you should fight that mean man yourself." Said Rose.
Xavier thought for few seconds and said "I am strong mummy. Just like papa and dad. I'll fight"
"Good. And I promise to never leave you" said Rose and kissed his forehead and patted on his head to help him sleep.
Rose came out of Xavier's room and at the same time Ermanno came out of Emerald's room and he said "she slept. God I have never experienced this kind of love before. Thank you Rose"
Rose smiled and said "and I have never been this happy. I have my own family"
Rose went close to Ermanno and hugged him and said "thank you for fighting for us"
"I know what I want Rose. And the time apart was good for us. I mean look at us. We have grown up. We are the mummy and daddy of our home." said Ermanno and Rose laughed out loud and Ermanno shushed her.
She covered her mouth and looked at Ermanno and kissed his lips. He kissed back and after he broke the kiss he said "now get some shut eye. Tomorrow you will need all the energy. Its Sunday tomorrow and I plan to take the kids to the zoo"
"Oh my god I love the zoo" said Rose.
Ermanno laughed and said "I guess I'll be taking all the three kids to zoo"
Rose pouted her lips and Ermanno kissed her lips again and said "your rooms is there. Get some sleep" and left Rose puzzled.
Rose stood in her place for few minutes and then followed Ermanno to the room he entered and saw him already shedding his clothes.
"What do you mean by my room? Are we not sharing our marital bed?" Asked Rose.
Ermanno looked at Rose and walked into his closet and picked his sweats and walked into the bathroom.
Rose walked into the closet and saw only his clothes.
She ran out of the room to the room Ermanno directed before and saw only her clothes.
Rose was beyond angry she went back to Ermanno's room and saw him come out of the bathroom and she said "what's going on Ermanno?"
"Rose, I don't want to rush into having s.e.x with you. I lose control around you and all I want is to have a normal life with you and my children. I want time" said Ermanno.
Rose was panting with anger and went close to Ermanno and slapped him hard on his face.
Ermanno looked at Rose with anger and she said "you f.u.c.k.i.n.g idiot. Oh my god, why can't you understand what we have. We both are f.u.c.k.i.e.d up. F.u.c.k.i.n.g accept that you ass. For the love of God it's f.u.c.k.i.n.g getting annoying waiting for you to grow some balls." She then pushed Ermanno and he fell on the floor as he didn't expect her to push so hard.
She climbed on him and straddled on his torso and slapped him again and Ermanno held her hands and tuned her around and now straddled her "what do you think you are doing?"
"Seeing if you have balls to fight atleast me. I was so happy that you took a stand for us. But I was wrong. I bet it was your dear mummy who told you to do so. You f.u.c.k.i.n.g imbecile. Who the f.u.c.k says you are a genius? You are the most stupid person I know. Face it Ermanno. You can't do shit by yourself. You still need your mummy and daddy to wipe your ass." Said Rose and Ermanno screamed "shut up."
"No I won't. You f.u.c.k.i.n.g grow some balls Ermanno and face and accept yourself for what you are. Stop fighting yourself and be a better person and not just to be a good guy in your mummy's eyes. She is your mother. She is the women who loves the cruelest guy in the world and accepted him despite his cruelty. She will love you no matter what. I will love you no matter what. But I can't sugar coat and tell you I will stand by you till you find yourself. F.u.c.k Ermanno stop fighting and grow some balls and be the man of the house." Said Rose and pushed him off herself and stood up and said "f.u.c.k you, you coward. It's your cowardness which has led us to where we are. I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hate myself to love such a coward who can't fight for what he wants" and walked out of the room.
Ermanno was angry, hurt and was thinking of all that Rose said.
He got up from his place and went to Rose's room and saw her seated on the bed shedding tears.
She looked up and said "let me guess. You are here to show your strength on me by forcing me to submit to you. Typical man, showing your physical strength on a women to show dominance"
Ermanno walked towards Rose and stood in front of her and leaned down and kissed her forehead and said "get some sleep Rose" and walked out of the room.
Rose was flabbergasted.
"What happened?" Asked Rose to herself.
