The next day Tatiana went out to shop for things needed for the birthday party with the others.
"So what do you usually do for him on his birthday?" Alex asked.
"We usually have a small party with friends at the office then go have dinner soon after," she said.
"This time it needs to be a big one, his a son of a famous rich businesswoman, with two average working aunts, so he needs to have the best " Patrica stated.
Tatiana laughed, "that's a little exaggerated ".
"No, it's not, if you don't want to, we can throw the party ourselves. I already made plans for the place and Mark booked the cake already " Eric said.
"And Alex got her team ready I decorate while am in charge of the theme," Patrica said.
"You guys have everything planned out, so I will leave it to you "
"Yeah you should, and while we get busy go have a tour with your son," said Alex.
"Oh, and bring Steve along, he still needs his tour around," Patrica said," who knows he might turn into the right true fiance "
Tatiana scowled, "You and your bad jokes, are off guys," she said.
Steve could not make it cause he was having an online meeting.
"Gaby " she called
His blue eyes looked back at her with a smile, "Let's go have a tour around and then after go see grandma and grandpa ".
He nodded.
Taking him to all her old favourite places they had fun and took pictures. Finally, they arrived at their last place. Her parents' graves.
It had been a while since she last come to them
"Hi, mom and Dad "she smiled gently petting flowers on their graves.
She had noticed a lot of flowers on their graves and smiled, "I guess even with me gone, Patricia didn't forget to come " she said.
"Mommy" he called
"Yes, son" she called.
"Grandma and pa," he said pointing at the graves.
"Yes, meet your grandparents. Am sure if they were alive they would cherish you so much "
He picked up a flower and placed it next to the graves.
Tatiana smiled, "Thank you, love ".
He sat back down holding her hand.
"I missed you, it was hard at first without your mother but I got the strength from him," she said smiling at her son. "He's the best thing that happened to me, and I moved on with my life too. Archived my dreams and raised a good perfect son ".
She tried holding back her tears but failed, "But even with everything this perfect, why is the pain still there? I tried to forget but every time I did I made it worse, so I decided to just push it away and ignore it "
Gabriel turned to his crying mother, hugging her, "Don't cry mommy, am here " he softly tapped her back.
She nodded, wiping her falling tears, "I know honey, thank you " she said hugging him back.
She heard someone walk behind her, Gabriel pulled away and blinked at the stranger.
"Papa " he called and Tatiana froze.
