A few minutes later, Mariana's voice was heard from outside the room, “Sir, Ma'am, Young Master Leo is home!” Mariana's voice was clearly audible from where they were.Maia and Juan looked at each other. Maia immediately got up from the bed, patting her cheeks to refresh her face, “He's here?” she whispered, “But... why today? Isn't there still...” she continued, counting on her fingers.Juan peeked out the window, “Looks like it. That's Jackson's car.”Maia stared at her reflection in the mirror. Ruby's face, but Maia's eyes.“I'm ready,” she said.Juan stood behind her, smiling slightly, “If you're nervous, don't show it. That kid can read body language.”Maia nodded. Then took a deep breath.Today, she wouldn't hug Leo suddenly. She wouldn't offer him cookies. She wouldn't force him to call her “Mommy” or buy him robots.Today, she just wanted to introduce herself in Leo's language. Slowly, honestly, and perhaps for the first time in her life, Maia would truly learn to be a mother.
