Home sweet home was where Emma was now. Emma sat at the dining table as she watched her mother wash and cut vegetables. Her eyes followed her mother's movements in the kitchen, awaiting her scolding for wandering too far. *sigh* Rosie slouched on the table as she was about to scold *bang* "I'm here my lovely's !" it was Emma's aunt Jessy. Emma's face lit up as she ran in her aunt's direction to receive her hug and kiss "Tita Jessy! You're here!", "Of course my lovely pamangkin! Wouldn't miss seeing you for the world!". Rosie smiled as she went to greet her sister with a hug "

Aking kapatid na babae, how have you been? Where is Nico?", Jessy hugged Rosie back "He's coming with the rest of the bags.". "Here let me help you!" Rosie said as she took her sister's bag and placed them on the counter.

Niclas then entered the room through the hallway here Emma was early waiting for him to arrive. Her body bouncing up and down as she fiddled with her fingers "Emma stop that he's coming!" Rosie insisted, Jessy smiled as she watched at Emma wait for her uncle "If people saw you right now they would think you were waiting for the love of your life." she teased Emma. "Shush Tita you're embarrassing me." she insisted as she franticly waved her hand at her aunt and turned her face. "Where is my little princess?" she heard her uncle's voice say "Tito! Tito! Tito!" Emma jumped up and down saying. "With a reaction like that, you would think you were happy to see me.", "I am! I am!" Emma insisted. Her uncle kneeled and placed his bags on the floor "Gimme halik first.". Emma ran and kissed him and she got caught in his grasp and he planted several kisses on her. She laughs and Jessy insisted that he stop teasing her. He then put Emma don and as soon as she was out of his grasp she asked "Did you bring it?", *sigh* he then reached into one of the bags and took out a bouquet of Petunia's "Got em right here.". Emma's face lit up and she immediately took the flowers and ran outside. Then her mother said "Forgetting something, dear?" Emma revered "Salamat po Tito!" and kissed him again and ran back outside.

"That girl is just like you, love's gardening. I like to think that's why you came out here into the middle of nowhere.", Jessica said. "Yeah me too." Rosie replied as she watched at Emma.

Emma was outside preparing to pot her flowers. She took one of the bowls that were lined up and poked holes into the bottom. Emma then added her fertilizer and cut her Petunia's stems.

"Yeah, she is just like me." Rosie agreed. *thud* "Special girl that one." Nicolas placed his bags on the counter. "You guys are the best, but you don't have to do this. Go live your lives." Rosie insisted. "Girlll you are aking kapatid na babae. The farthest I'm going from you is my home." Jessica added. Nicolas assured Rosie of their loyalty by saying "Vacations are always in order, but we ain't going too far we will always be here to support you and Emma." he wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her forehead. "Salamat, it means a lot you guys!" she looked like she was about to drop a tear, then Jessica clapped her hands. "Enough of that. Today we celebrate you, so let's get to celebrating!" they all nodded in agreement and unpacked to bags, washing and sorting the groceries. *thud, thud, thud* Emma was skipping towards the bathroom leaving a trail of dirt. "EMMA!!!!"
