Anya's idea had Hansen all excited. He couldn't wait to tell his daughter and Mia, "Hey, let's all go surprise Leo."

Mia gave him a side-eye. "Just make sure your surprise doesn't turn into a scare."

Hansen chuckled. "No way. Anya told me Leo's been missing me; he's just too stubborn to admit it. Ah, as the older folks, we should just swallow our pride and go see the kid."

Aunt Lisa chimed in, "Dad, with a line like that, as Leo's 'elders,' we've got to go see the 'kid"!" Mia would never miss a chance to playfully one-up Leo.

Now, Mia was Leo's "elder."

When it was Molly's turn, Hansen, having learned from his experience with Mia, asked directly, "As elders, should we go check on Leo this weekend?"

Molly looked at him, puzzled. "Dad, are you feeling alright?"

Hansen replied, "Just tell me if you're coming or not."

"Of course, I'm coming. I'm his aunt; I've got to see my precious nephew," Jade said, patting her chest with a mischievous grin.

When the weekend arrived, Mia woke Henry up early despite his groggy state. Andre, still half-asleep, muttered, "Let him sleep. He'll just start crying again when he wakes up. Such a little troublemaker." Mia was resolute. "Today, it's just us two heading out. You stay home."

"Where are you going?" Andre asked.

Mia paused, then replied, "A hotel."

Andre, guessing who his wife and son were going to visit, didn't ask further.

Henry cried as his mom dressed him, but soon enough, the Cedillo family car arrived to pick them up.
