OUTING

The next day, Erika woke up due to the tap that was softly being placed on her leg as the person tried to wake her up.

"Wake up dear, it's time for breakfast," said Beatrice as she tried to wake Erika up. "Come on now." She continued to tap on Erika's foot, not knowing that the latter had already woken up.

"I'm awake," Erika said, caressing her palm on John whom she had arranged to sleep very close to her, along with his brother Luca.

"That's good, that's good. I've already made your bath. If you want, I can help you change the diapers of the babies while you take a nice long morning bath to get your day started." Beatrice smiled as she spoke but Erika stared at her with an expression that didn't have anything written on it. It looked as if she was bored with the words that Beatrice was spewing but the old lady didn't mind one bit and continued to spew more words. "Come one now," she urged Erika to get down from the bed.
