One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 38

Chapter 38: I want to be with my family

~~~They say when you love someone then set them free. If they come back again, then, in the end, it was meant to be. I thought we were lovers, I thought we were friends. I guess when reality steps in, the dreaming ends. No matter how hard we try, some good things never last. Why can't they last?~~~

Samantha's POV:

"Be careful, Cali."

I got up to follow my daughter when she opened the door to my room and excitedly ran outside. She wanted to eat banana pancakes and when I said yes, her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Hey, good morning to our pretty Cali." Rory greeted her and Cali greeted her back.

I just couldn't help but smile as she continued her greetings into storytelling.

"Good morning, Rory. Guess what?"

"What? What is it?" Rory asked confused.

"Mommy will cook yummy banana pancakes for me."

"Wow!"

"Yeah, and I told her to put maple syrup to make it tastier... and... and... she will also make ahm... apple juice for me." "Ohh---"

"And of course, I also want scrambled eggs and a chicken sandwich."

"Whoa! You have a big appetite this morning, young lady." Rory and I chuckled when Cali nodded.

"Come on, let's go, mommy. I'll help you cook pancakes and eggs." She took my hand and pulled me towards the kitchen.

But I was stopped entering the kitchen when I saw Luke inside the counter. He's wearing an apron and cooking something while humming a song.

"Daddy?" Cali was the first to react and immediately ran to her father.

"Good morning, my ladies."
