The day slowly came to an end without Maria waking up. But her family kept vigilant waiting to see her open those pretty sea-green eyes.
As the rising sun, slowly climbed over the horizon, casting a soft, golden light on the magnificent city landscape, the quiet of night gave way to the vibrant hum of another beautiful day.
Maria finally opened her eyes only to find her family members including Henry all snoring peacefully, scattered around the room in different sleeping sitting positions.
But the sight that melted her heart the most was the sight of her children.
Amelia was nestled in her husband's protective arms like an adorable baby, sleeping peacefully with Blaze also resting his head on the couch headrest.
Parched and unable to voice out a single word, she just remained still watching them until her very sensitive and alert son finally opened his eyes to meet her gaze.
"Mom!"
