"I hope you like your room Hestia. My daughter Paula helped with decorating "- Raquel stood in the door frame and smiled as the little girl marveled with fascination at the guest room that had been set up for her stay.

The guest Room was decorated with a topics of marine life and gives the impression of being in a distant underwater world.

Of course, Raquel didn't exactly know what the toddler's preferences were, but when Paula volunteered to help decorate the Room, Raquel couldn't say no to her. It was rare enough that the 10 year old did not hide in her Room or wanted to spend more time with her grandmother - than doing something with her mother and Sergio.

Since the former Inspectora had left her life in Madrid and started a new life alongside the Professor, Raquel had been convinced, that her Daughter could only benefit from this Change. Her Partner was even the one who urged her to express her Desire , to bring her family to the Island out loud. While her Mother had welcome Sergio with open arms in a short time, Paula was more distant towards him.

Who knew what her Ex-Husband told her daughter about her new Partner? It had been a long time before Raquel could bring her child to Palawan and, as sad as it was, her Ex had the young Girl during the period. To speak badly about the new Man by her side, Raquel absolutely trusted this Person to do that - it was Alberto Vicuña after all and Raquel was so happy when the her Family was finally closer to her - in Paradise.

But what could be done to convince Paula, that the Professor is not an evil Person?

Raquel had tried to talk to Paula and find out, why she kept distant from Sergio and was so uninterested in his Attempts to approach her or start a Conversation.

But this mother-daughter Conversation was not a success, and so Raquel decided that Paula certainly needed some time to get along with her new Boyfriend.

Changes weren't easy, and yet the past 3 Months had been so long , when she watched Sergio's efforts to win Paulas Trust , wich was almost destroyed almost every single time.

"Look! Fish there" said Hestia enthusiastically and pointed to the photo wallpaper wich was showing the most diverse inhabitants of the Underwater World.

Then the Girl's Attention turned to a seahorse soft toy, and after Hestia glanced at Raquel again, almost as if waiting for permission to take the seahorse, Hestia grabbed the plush toy moments later and hugged it tightly.

The Question of whether she liked the Room or not, would be answered now very easy and Raquel wondered what would make more Sense now, because Sergio had carried Hestias little bag it straight into the Room , after entering the House.

The Girl would hardly notice or realize that her Fathers would not come here during the next few hours or even tomorrow. Perhaps unpacking the case would cause her to be reminded of it immediately, and Raquel wanted to avoid that at the moment. It was better to deal with a good-humored toddler than one that is struck by the sudden realization that it may be homesick.

"Horsy so soft", giggled Hestia and held out the plush toy towards Raquel , so that she could see for herself how soft the Seahorse was.

"Oh I see it Hestia. Should we go see what Sergio is doing? I think he mentioned something about preparing a Snack?", Raquel replied with a Laugh after brushing the plush toy once over the Head.

At the word Snack, Hestia nodded with Interest and held her new plush Toy with one hand and let Raquel take the other, so that she could walk by her side. A snack always sounded good and then Hestia could introduce her new Friend to her Uncle. She had brought her absolute favorite plush toy from Home along with her... but the Seahorse looked so sweet and cute that her favorit plush Toy could wait for later to meet her new Friend- so her Uncle would definitely be happy to get to met the Seahorse right?

While mastering the way to the Kitchen with Hestia at a very slow pace, Raquel hoped that her Mother would get along with Paula. The two had planned a Trip to the nearby Beach, and although a Nurse would be around to keep a close Eye on her Mother, Paula's mood swings were sometimes exhausting.

Because when she had a bad Day, her Daughter could change from clingy to angry within a few Moments. Raquel didn't know whether it had to do with moving to Palawan or if her child was thinking about something else - and with such a problem she was dealing, her knowledge of her old job would unfortunately not be able to help her with that Problem.

According to her Mother, she was no different at Paula's age. If she didn't want to talk about anything, there was absolutely no point in forcing Raquel to do it.

She didn't want to talk about anything until she was ready. Everything else had brought nothing. Waiting and drinking tea would be an good Option.

Raquel wanted to be confident and she didn't give up Hope, that Sergio and Paula could build a trust base over time. Because she wanted nothing more than that the two people, that she loves so much - get along with each other somehow. Was that to much to ask?

...

With a straight Cut, Sergio cut the Vegetables that were ready to serve as a snack for the afternoon with a Knife and wondered , how the last treatment of Myopathy would be for his Brother.

He talked on the Phone with his big Brother a lot in the past few Months and asked if everything was ok. After all, the successful Escape with the printed banknotes, it was a cat and mouse game to find a hiding place.

The fact that Andrés was able to start treating the Disease in a Clinic abroad with encouragement from his family and friends was like a Miracle, when the man was firmly convinced that such a treatment was nothing else than Magic.

The turning Point in his attitude not only had to do with the good attemps of the People who really care about Berlin - no, the Appearance of Hestia Andrés life and the love for Martín also played a large Part in making him feel comfortable ending up for the first treatment almost a Year ago.

And the professor remembered well how his brother, together with his Partner and a younger version of Hestia, suddenly stood in Front of him - absolutely unexpected.

His eyes looked over towards the Sea. He thought of Raquel and the little Hint he had left for her. So many Months had passed and the Professor still hoped that the Woman who had awakened so many unknown Feelings in him, would find her Way to Palawan.

Raquel was not stupid, and at the Time - she was so focused with the Idea of living somewhere on an Island with him and her Family, away from all the stress in a big city.

He missed her and an small voice still tried to convince the Professor, that Raquel would be so disgusted with what he had done - that she would never come and find him.

But as you know, hope dies last. And Sergio would not give up hope - because even if the former Inspectora could deny it, she would know deep in her heart that the connection between the two of them , was something special and unique.

"You have always been a daydreamer Sergio"

Frightened and a little confused, the Professor turned away from the Sight of the beautiful Sea and his Amazement grew again, when he saw his brother standing not far away from him - together with Martín, who was holding a Baby in his arms.

The Picture was so in the Professor's Eyes - unrealistic, that for a Moment he questioned the ingredients of his last meal .

The fact that Andrés suddenly appeared here was nothing unusual - but the Professor was disturbed by the Fact that his brother's Partner was holding a small baby in his arms - maybe there had been some substances in his Lunch, that he hadn't known about and that led him now to Hallucinations.

"Why don't you take a photo, so you could stare at it longer" - Martín said in a malicious tone and this Sentence then caused the Professor to finally react to the Presence of the two men.

"What are you doing here and ... from where do you have a Baby?" - not the most logical thing that the Professor could have replied, because this is exactly what Martín brought to the following Comment.

"It seems like your brother didn't understand the Story about the Bees and Flowers"

"I am well aware about the Creation of a new Life and the associated Conditions Martín"; replied the Professor objectively.

"How we got our Daughter is a long story - we thought we would combine it with a visit to you. Now that the rest of the Team has spread around the World and nobody is disturbing Conversations without being asked - we were sure it´s a good option", said Andrés and some overwhelmed, the Professor showed the three unannounced Guests the way to his House.

"... and when I wanted to talk to Her, this little Girl interrupted our Conversation. It can be a Curse if you have been married several times. And in this Case my second Ex-Wife was very focused on further Payments - especially since we spent a Night together before moving into the old Finca to plan the heist and get to know the Team - and that's where Hestia came from. My ex-wife visited me a few months after the heist and put the Girl on my Doorstep - she didn't want her anymore and I should take care of her now. Of course an DNA test was done - but before the Result arrived, Martin lost his heart to Hestia and the Idea to raise her as our Child - was contagious ... the DNA test was positive and I have never heard from my ex-wife since that day... "

The Professor looked over from his Brother to Martín and had a hard time imagining that the impulsive man was someone who get along on well with a Baby. In general, the Professor had given the less thoughts, that they would come to become family at some point, when both are approaching the 50 age point.

It was a very surprising explanation and it took a Moment for Sergio to congratulate the two men about the newest member of their Family.

"How old is Hestia now?", he asked, looking at the now sleeping baby, who was now in Andrés arms and seemed to feel absolutely comfortable there.

"Almost 12 Months - she changed our life and after a few conversations with Martín I decided to give the Clinic a chance. I want to go to the clinic abroad for Treatment"

Another message that Sergio had hardly expected. Because during the last talks and attempts to convince him to start Therapy, Berlin was always persistent and convinced that he would soon face death, and gave always a no as the Answer. Sergio was more pleased that his brother wanted to give the whole Thing a chance.

Despite the unexpected and surprising Visit, the Day contained two good news for the Professor. His brother would finally start treating his Illness - and now he had a little Niece ...

After the Vegetables had been cut, the Professor put the used utensils in the Dishwasher and brought the Plate with the Snacks to the Terrace, where he saw Raquel and Hestia already sitting on some chairs, and as soon as the little Girl saw him, she held up the Seahorse plush Toy and told her uncle how soft and cute her ´Horsy´ was.

With a smile, the Professor sat down in the Chair next to Raquel and he wished a little that Paula would also be a little more open and communicative towards him - because that was another problem for which he had not yet been able to find a Solution yet.

Maybe it would be easier if the two Girls meet each other? Because this Hope had not yet disappeared - but the Professor's ideas on how to win Paula's trust were slowly reaching their limit.
