Katey and Javier were met by familiar faces. Eve and James stood hand in hand backstage. Eve looked beautiful in a knee-length pink, strapless dress. James stood in a suit similar to Javier's, but with a pink tie to match Eve. Javier squeezed Katey's hand as he walked towards James and Eve, and six other couples. James and Eve walked over to Katey and Javier.
"Well, look who's in America," James said, smugly. Eve had her stuck up smile on her face. "Katey, how have you been?"
"Well, I'm married to Javier now and we have a daughter," Katey replied with a satisfied grin.
"Oh," he replied. "Eve and I married shortly after the revolution and have twin boys, Stanley and Albert."
Javier tried not to laugh at the names of the little boys, but a "hah" escaped.
"What's your kid's name? Cha Cha?" James asked.
Javier's face turned stone cold. "Her name is Havana." Katey loved the way he said her name. He pronounced it like "Havona". It sounded so Cuban.
Eve smirked. "Stan and Al are traditional names. Not made up ones."
"Keep your nasty comments to yourself, you stuck up bitch," Katey said. Eve was taken aback by Katey's comment.
"Ladies and gentlemen," a dance official said, "since there are only ten people in the contest, we will choose two finalists for next week."
Everyone nodded as they took their places on the dance floor. After three minutes, the song ended and the dancers came to a stop. Katey didn't notice any other dancers, but she knew she and Javier were perfect.
"Our winners!" the announcer yelled. "Couple number 2, Javier and Katey Suarez."
The audience and other dancers applauded. Whistles were let out from the crowd.
"And Couple number 5, James and Eve Phelps."
James and Eve hugged in excitement.
Katey laid Havana into her crib and walked into the living room. It was near midnight. Javier was putting presents under the tree when the phone rang. Katey, in her red and green flannel Christmas nightgown, went to answer the phone. Who would call this late? Katey thought.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Katey?"
"Yes, who's this?"
"It's James. I was calling to ask you something."
"What? You know it was awful rude to call this late, if you woke up Havana..."
"I was calling to ask, in two weeks, its Stanley and Albert's birthday. Should we take them to Bermuda or buy them cool electronics with the prize money we are going to win?"
"Leave my family alone." Katey hung up the phone. She explained to Javier who it was. They finished setting up the gifts and went to bed.
