We were all standing outside, waiting for Aaron to come home. It was late, or should I say, very early in the morning. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him holding Mathias. So the police really did find Matty! I was so happy. My mother grabbed Mathias from Aaron and started to snuggle him, repeating his name, "Matty, Matty...Sweetheart..."
Mom loves Mathias as her own son, and I think it's natural as she's taken care of him since he was a baby.
"Aaron, tell me, what happened?" I asked my brother.
"Mia, it's so late...But anyway, the police arrested Violet. She was hiding in a cheap hotel, saying that Mathias was her daughter. Can you imagine that? She's out of her mind, really..." Aaron told me..."Mother, could you take Matty to bed?" he turned to mom then.
"Of course, dear" she said and went inside. I followed her.
"Just let me hug him one more time" I told my mother when we got to Mathias' room. Finally he was back with his family, back where he belonged. "Sleep well, Piglet!" I said to my little nephew, put him to his crib and kissed him good-night.
"Good night, Iiia..." he said. He's a big boy already, but yet so little.
"Good night, mom, I should go home now"
"Good night, Maria...And don't worry, we got Mathias back and after a week you can take Isabel home, everything is going to be great."
"I know, mom, thank you. See you on Sarah's birthday tomorrow. You will come, right?"
"Of course. Go now, Ben is waiting"
Before leaving I heard Isolde and Aaron talking downstairs.
"Are you ok, Aaron?" Isolde asked, "I'm so glad it's over now..."
"I'm fine, darling, I just feel really tired. But hey, tomorrow is a new day..." my brother told her.
It's great that Aaron has found someone to share his life with, it hasn't been easy for him to be a single father, so I'm really happy for him and Isolde.
*The next day*

"I should go now for not to be late..." I told my husband and gave him a kiss, "I'm so sorry you can't come, Sarah was waiting for you"
"You know I have to work now if I want to stay home next week" Ben said.
"Yes, I'm so happy Isabel is finally coming home with us. I've been waiting for it for so long" I said and smiled, "Ok, but now I really have to go, see you in the evening!"
"Best birthday wishes to Sarah!"
"I'll tell her!" I shouted from the car and drove over to aunt Christine's place.
Sarah has grown into a beautiful young lady. I couldn't believe it was her 14th birthday already. The strangest thing happened on Sarah's birthday party...She had invited Aaron and Isolde, and Florence with her family, too... And when Florence and Isolde started to talk, they found out the were step-sisters! Of course, how didn't I think of that before? That's why Isolde's name had seemed so familiar to me before. Isolde was the reason why Florence ran away from home as a teenager! It's a small world! Anyway, they were really happy to meet after all these years. I couldn't even recognize Jeremy, Florence's son, when I saw him. He's 16 now. And little Ella is 5 and will start school soon... Hours flew by fast while chatting with all the old friends and soon it was the evening... Simon played guitar for the guests, he's really talented. I've told him a hundred times that he should join a band, and I told him again that evening. He promised to think about that :) Sarah and Jeremy seem to be really good friends...I think they like each other a lot. Maybe one day...Well, who knows. But anyway, I had a great time that evening... All the birthdays in my family are like small family reunions, there is just so many of us and we're all so close. I wish that Sofia was with us, too, but I know she's thinking about me a lot even if she's in Morocco.
...
*One week later*
"Maria?!?" I head Ben calling me over, "It's time!"
"I'm coming!" I shouted and looked at the mirror. Finally the day had arrived. My little daughter was ready to come home.
I went to Isabel's room before going to the hospital... Everything was ready, waiting for her. "My love, what were you doing upstairs for so long?" Ben asked me and took my hand. "Nothing special, I was in Isabel's room. I'm so happy, Ben" I said to my husband.
"Me too, Mia. Let's go now, our daughter is waiting for us"
Half an hour later we were in the hospital already. Benjamin tried to encourage me, he probably felt that I was feeling a bit nervous about the situation. Luckily my little Isabel didn't need any special care anymore, she was like all the other babies, a strong healthy girl. The nurse brought her to me and by that made me the happiest woman in the whole world.
"Let's go home, Isabel" Ben said and looked at our daughter, "Let's go home"
"This is your room, little one" I told Isabel when we got home, "Your daddy furnished and decorated it for you..." Isabel is so beautiful...my little princess. ... I never knew I could love anyone so much... She barely cries and is so happy all the time. I don't know what I would have done if she had died on that horrible evening, I don't even want to think about that. I phoned my sister to let her know that Isabel was at home with me and Ben now. Sofia was really happy about the news, and had something to tell me, too... She's engaged! Sofia is getting married. I can't wait to meet the man my sister loves, but I just have to wait, I can't go to Morocco right now when Isabel is so little. Sofia promised to wait with the weddings until my daughter is a bit older and can go to Morocco with us, because that's were celebrations will take place. Life's so beautiful... *10 hours later*

I was standing somewhere in the darkness with Isabel. Strange red moon was in the sky...
I couldn't understand where I was. I told my daughter not to be afraid, although I was horrified myself. There was darkness everywere I looked... Suddenly Violet came and took Isabel. She took my baby and I couldn't do anything to stop her... Unable to move, I was standing there and crying, and Violet walked away with my little daughter... I cried and cried... I cried out Isabel's name, but nothing changed... Then Violet came back, alone...She pointed her finger at me and started to laugh... Her evil non-stopping laugher filled the air...Ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa! ...I head Isabel crying somewhere... Then I woke up, my heart beating so fast. Ben was sleeping calmly next to me... "Ohh, it was just a nightmare...A nightmare, nothing more..." I told myself and got out from the bed. I still heard Isabel crying... I went to my daughter's room to check on her... Isabel really was crying, she needed a diaper change. "Hey, baby, don't cry...Mommy's here..."
I changed her diapers and took her down to the kitchen to feed her.
I loved taking care of her, even if I had to wake up in the middle of the night. It didn't matter. I put Isabel back to her crib and stood there just to watch her sleeping. She's so adorable. "No one can take you away from me..." I told her and sat down on the chair next to her crib. Soon after that I fell asleep... To be continued...

Thanks for reading! :)
