Sweetest Amore

C I N Q U E

I looked around the table, God why I couldn't remember anything or anyone at least. Sighing I shook my head which brought Daniel's attention to me.

"Are you okay? Do you feel good? You want me to take you to-" he started asking me while looking at me concerned but I only shook my head silencing him.

"No, no, I'm fine." I said but didn't miss uncertainty in his eyes "Really. I'm fine. I just feel... I don't know... like, like I'm disappointing them all because I'm not remembering any of them." I said silently as I lowered my eyes to look at the little boy in my arms.

He was so cute. He had the same dark hair and blue eyes as his dad, Xavier. At first when he jumped in my lap and started to cry I panicked a little not knowing what to do.

He held into me like he was scared that I will disappear if he loosens his hold. I mean he still does. One of his arms is wrapped around my neck while other one is holding tightly sleeve of my dress in his small fist.

Daniel soothingly started to rub my back making me lift my head and look at him "No one here is judging you for your memory loss, okay? And don't go hard on yourself, remember what the doctor told you. If you can't remember that's fine, but don't force yourself into remembering. That wouldn't bring you any good." He said while looking at me.

Nodding my head I turned my eyes towards the little boy in my lap when he pulled on my hair slightly. "What's the matter?" I asked him and he pointed towards the glass of water by my side "Are you thirsty?" Reaching for the glass I gently place it against his lips letting him drink.

When he was finished he slowly pushed a glass away from him "Enough?" I asked him again making him nod. "He is so smart and cute." I coed looking at him.

There was a chuckle from beside me and I turned my head only to find Xavier looking at us with a smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, he is." He said making a smile stretch across my face and pink blush rose on my cheeks from his stare.

"How old is he?" I asked silently.
"He's a year and four months." Xavier said looking at Emiliano.
"Oh, he is still so little." I said looking down at Emiliano not be able to hold Xavier's stare.

I was about to ask Xavier how did we meet when my parents cut my thoughts short "Um, excuse us." Father said as he took my mother's hand and lead her towards the crowd of people.

'They are probably going to greet some of their friends.' I thought to myself as I turned my head towards Xavier.

"So, umm can you tell me how we met? Maybe I could remember something." I said to him hoping that I really would remember something.

He was about to answer my question but suddenly out of nowhere a heavy smell of seafood made my stomach flip.

The feeling of nausea took over me and I quickly lifted Emiliano from my lap.
"Can you please take him?" I asked making Xavier nod and take Emiliano from my arms.
