FOUR MONTHS LATER… CELIA I was making pancakes for Sia in the kitchen. She couldn't hold her cravings anymore. Tasha was also helping me. “Mommy!” She perched on the kitchen’s island. “I want a big one, please!” Her puppy eyes looked into mine. A smile glinted on my lips. “What's cooking?” Killian peeked through the door of the kitchen. “Daddy!” Sia turned her head to him. “We're making pancakes.” She muttered excitedly. Killian came closer and stood beside her, resting his hands on the kitchen’s island. “Smells good.” He whispered to Sia. She chuckled. “Mommy, quick!” Her cute voice commanded. “Yes! Yes!” My lips answered with the same cuteness. Suddenly, our eyes met, and mine immediately turned away. We were just pretending to be a normal family for the sake of our child.
