Chapter 3 3

There weren't many complications, Emily recovered from her personality disorder and Xano remains by her side.

She learned from one of the ultrasounds that the child she is expecting is a girl, and she and her husband Leonardo are going to name the little one Alba.

Alba means dawn brightness.

Xano, still a child, thinks that since the girl's name means dawn light, her human should give her the name Alva.

"But it's my humans' decision, and if they chose Alba, I'm not the one who should be against that decision." She thinks about the kitten sitting on Emily's belly.

"Xano, you are Alba, you will be good friends, and I know you grew up together. I hope you take care of Alba, my little friend."

"I know that cats have one foot here and another in a mystical world that we don't know about; my grandmother always told me that cats filter the negative energy of the place and make it positive. Is that true, my little Xano?"

"My human, if it's true, I don't know, I'm still too young to know, and as you can see, I have no contact with my mother; She's the one who could tell me if I can go to this world you're telling me about."

She thinks about the kitten as he rests on Emily's belly and receives affection from her.

Emily looks at the clock, it's almost time for her husband, Leonardo, to return from work.

She rests the kitten on the couch.

"Xano stay here, okay?" I'm going to take a shower and get ready. I want Leo to see me as beautiful for him."

Emily blows an air kiss to Xano who looks at her with his beautiful honey-colored eyes.

"I'll be right back, darling.

As she walks to her suite, Emily tries to remember when she first began to have a distorted view of herself."

"I don't remember, but I don't care about that now, I don't want to think about bad or sad things, I want to make up for the time I lost isolating myself from the world and especially from Leonardo, who during that time was very patient with me."

If cats really have one foot here and another in the mystical world, she doesn't know who said it was her grandmother, but if she analyzes her life after Xano's arrival, she will see that her life changed for the better on the first day.

If cats filter negative energy and make it positive, little Xano did it the same day he got home.

Emily showers and gets ready, something she hasn't done in a long time. She puts on so much makeup that she dries her hair and styles it. She looks at the result in the mirror and promises to never let herself be discouraged again. For her, for Leonardo and for her daughter Alba, who will soon come into the world.

Linda leaves the room and goes to the room where she left Xano.

When she approaches the sofa, the kitten sitting there looks at her curiously, her human really is beautiful and bright.

"My human is happy, and I want to see her always like this, enlightened."

"Does Xano think Leonardo will like it? He knows, my friend, it's been months since I've done a presentation like this."

The kitten doesn't take her eyes off the human, she really looks so beautiful.

"My human will like your change, you are enlightened, and that is captivating"

"Xano can't look away from me, a sign that I must be beautiful, or, on the contrary, I must be horrible."

"Do you think I look horrible, Xano?

Emily asks jokingly. She sits next to the approaching kitten, climbs onto her belly and slowly, in subtle steps with her delicate kitty flanks, approaches her face, sniffs and licks with her rough tongue, tickling Emily's cheek.

"Ah! I see you liked my production, didn't you, Xano? If you liked it, maybe Leo will like it."

"What will I like, love?"

Leonardo arrives from work, opens the door and catches the conversation between Emily and Xano, walking.

Emily looks shyly at her husband, as she didn't expect him to arrive like this out of nowhere.

Leonardo is delighted with his wife's production, not that she wasn't already beautiful, but the well done and delicate makeup left her face shining.

"You look beautiful, Emily."

"It's lit and I love seeing that glow that shines on you, my love."

Leonardo approaches Emily, and the makeup highlights her brown eyes.

"Emily, how much I desire for you, my love, and this desire consumes me inside."

Leonardo kisses her and pulls her towards him.

Time stops and they give in to the kiss, it's been a long time since they gave in like that, and it's time to redeem the time that they will be "separated" by the circumstances that Emily imposed on them. Circumstances that not even Emily realized were causing her and her husband to separate.

Xano looks at his humans without blinking, they don't notice, and neither does the kitten, but the little one is filtering the good energy and making it emanate throughout the house.

They don't realize it, because they don't have that worldview, and Xano doesn't realize it, because he's still a child, and he has no idea of the good he's providing the couple.

When the kiss ends, Leonardo takes the risk of inviting his wife to dinner. They haven't gone out in many months and want to have fun and date.

"Emily, are we going out to dinner today, my beauty?"

Surprised by her husband's request, Emily remembers that during one of her disagreements, Leo said that he was giving up on her, that if she wanted to mold at home it was her problem and that he wouldn't condemn himself to it. a life of isolation. But now the situation is different, she wants to recover her relationship with Leo and the time she lost isolating herself, so:

"Yes, Leo, I accept dinner with you."

Before leaving, she gives milk to Xano, and Leonardo doesn't even change his clothes, he leaves the way he arrived in his work uniform, as he was afraid that his wife would change her mind.

Emily didn't question her husband's decision, she just accompanied him.
