Some years later I

Already after almost a year of married Laura with William, Orquídea and Laureano who with approval of the King and of Enrique they grant him the Casanova surname, already it could be said that everything was calm and happy and if in part it was, William and Orquídea had learned of things that caused him fear and to cure themselves in health they decide that Laura and him go to a safe place, What was certain was that neither Amanda nor Frida could set foot in England or Spain, so William decided to have a palace built near his mother and partly hidden where the access was somewhat steep, but for the safety of the English they decided to make a secret entrance where it was wide and illuminated.

Orchid for her part made false rumors that Laura and William had decided to go to see the world and apparently wanted to live in Australia. Seeing how the rumor was spreading like wildfire, she planned with Laureano that they would also go somewhere else since she knew that the rumor that Amanda would seek revenge did not sound like a joke and to be on the safe side it was better not to tempt fate.

Laureano, who knew that when Orqui said something like that, it was for a reason and this time he was not even going to doubt it, so they planned to go to Scotland and live quietly there.

Indeed Orquídea and Laureano said goodbye with pain to a hurt Enrique but he knew it was that or their lives could be in danger, Emiliano partly wanted them to stay and live there with them, but they knew that she would try anything to get in since she had forbidden it, she would know that this would make them lower their guard and they would be easy prey.

Florencia supported that conclusion and agreed that that was the best thing to do, she for her part decided to stay and be with Pierre there in the castle. Orchid and Laureano painfully said goodbye to everyone and left for Scotland and from there they went to Scone.

The climate was a little cold but with time they would get used to it, as Orquídea did not want something very elegant they decided to look for a simple and comfortable house but without many luxuries, she did not mind selling some clothes to be able together with Laureano to get that house, although on the outside it looked a little small inside it was wide and spacious, she did not mind dirtying her hands to do many things.

Laureano often regretted not being able to give a better life to what he was simply said that she did not regret anything and was happy that way. He always thanked her and thanked the gods for having an understanding wife, while they got someone to help them with some construction for some horses and some farm animals and so little by little they had their wealth and some luxuries.

Already after 2 years of many arrangements the house became a little more spacious and had several farm animals and some helpers who had made their homes near them to not make so much travel and they were grateful, Laureano who felt uncomfortable if he did not train taught the sons of the lords in sword handling and discipline and then went to the farm with the men to cultivate and see the animals.

When everything seemed happy a letter arrived for Orquídea and she was surprised and worried and did not waste time to open it and read it.

Laura's voice: "Dear sister I hope you are well, I had a hard time getting your address with aunt Florencia and I am happy to know that she and my father will stay with uncle, William and I are fine thanks to the gods, although lately I am a little tired and my body has been rejecting food a little and I also get tired faster, two days ago William called the doctor because he thought it was something to do with my health due to how delicate I am. Calm down it's nothing serious on the contrary when the doctor checked me he found me well and ordered me to drink more liquids and that they would accept my curious requests for food since I had it is a beautiful symptom called pregnancy, I am two months pregnant Orqui and well he ordered me to take walks and rest but I am so happy that I wished you were here. I hope to see you soon. Love Laura and William".

Orqui, who out of happiness can't hold back a scream to which a frightened Laureano comes running up and asks

Laureano: What happened, are you ok?

Orqui who looks at him says: Lau is pregnant, we are going to be uncles.

Laureano who looks at her a bit angry and says: Love, that's great news, but next time don't give me that scare, ok.

Laureano, who nods and makes a gesture of apology, hugs him tightly and tells him that his little sister is 2 months pregnant and that she missed them very much, Laureano, who hugs her knowing that he also feels sad that he cannot be there with her, hugs her tightly and encourages her that if possible she should copy him almost often and that way the absence would not be so pronounced, she agrees to this idea and decides to copy him every 2 days in between.

He knew that the letters would take a while but he knew that as soon as he received the 2 letters Laura would be more animated and the distance from her sister would not hit her so much, Laureano decided to give ideas to Orchid about why they did not make something for the baby in a neutral color and that she could wear, He also asked her to let him know the months so that she could go to the birth of her first nephew, although of course Orchid was opposed to some extent since they should both go and not just her, Laura was now his sister-in-law and he knew that she would also want him to be there on the day of the baby's birth.

Indeed Laura every time she received letters from Orqui she wanted to jump with happiness and as she could she read them or asked William to read her the letter, he told her how they were living in a very cozy and homey house, they had near them some farms where they cultivated several kinds of fruits and where they had animals and even horses, where every afternoon they rode for a while.

She also asked him to listen to the doctor and to eat well for her and for the baby, to please always let her know about the pregnancy since she would do everything possible to go with Laureano even if it was a few days before to meet him and help him with the baby, she reminded him how much she loved her and how happy she was for her and finally she said

Orchid's voice: if mom were alive she would say that she is very proud of you, just as I am. With love Orchid and Laureano.

When she heard that sentence she could not help crying and smiling for that beautiful gesture. William, who hugged her, told her that he was also proud of her and that every day she showed him that she was a strong and brave woman, while he kissed her forehead and then her tender lips, making her feel calm and blushing for those compliments.

Indeed Laura decided to copy her almost every day telling her even the smallest detail of her pregnancy and state of health, Orchid every time she received his letters was happy to see how she was updating her and taking care of herself, with that 6 months had passed and it is where Orchid and Laureano begin to plan their trip to England to be in the birth of her first nephew, with everyone already warned and everything organized, she writes a letter before leaving and it was to let him know that they were going there.
