Okay so there's only one chapter left. So hope you enjoy. I'm saying this once again for the last time, I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

Chapter Ten

It was a week before Rossi's first anniversary. All the ladies decided to get together and go to Washington DC and cheer up.

They went on two different cars. They went to a spa and then they did a little shopping.

"Hey I'm still in line!" Ash said.

"You all go and save a table while I wait with Ash and Chiara!" Nati said.

Just as Ash was finished paying they noticed that Chiara wasn't glued to Ash and they looked around and spotted her at the door talking to a stranger.

"Chiara, how many times do I have to tell you not to talk to strangers?"

"I know Mama."

"Sorry Ma'am, I didn't mean to scare you! I saw her crying!" he said in a heavy accent.

"Chiara, let's go!" Ash said and she left the toy she was playing with and raised her hands for Ash to pick her up. Nati noticed she did it when she felt nervous or scared.

"Isn't she too old to be carried?" he said looking as they were leaving.

"Ash turned around, "Mind your own business!"

As they walked to the restaurant, "why did you walk away from me? Why were you crying?"

"I didn't want you to be sad. I miss Daddy!"

"I miss him too!"

"I'm hungry!"

"We're almost there! Momma is tired, do you want to walk?"

Chiara looked around and after few minutes she nodded. When they got to the restaurant Nati noticed that only she and Moran were the only ones that didn't have girls.

The girls were sitting in other table besides them.

"What took you so long?"

"Miss Chiara that acted more like me walked away and cried and was talking to a stranger." Ashley said.

"He's a cute stranger by the way and with a British accent!" Nati said.

"Probably was faking the accent." Ash said.

"I think he was but I don't know!" Nati said.

"Momma, I wasn't talking to him, he was talking to me." Chiara said.

"What did he said?"

"That he was new in town. He said that he lost his wife last year on their something moon. Momma it made me miss Daddy more!" she said trying to control her tears.

"Kier, it's your turn to play!" Cordelia stated.

"Go on and play!" Ash said.

"How are you holding on?" Emily asked.

"Just barely, for the last two weeks I've been having dreams with Dave and when I wake up it's only me!"

"I don't know what to say." JJ added.

"Just knowing that you all got my back is good." Ash answered.

"So how's living at the 'new house?' Is it easier for you and the kids?"

"As bad as it sounds yes. Well, you have seen it everything screams new. But let's plan for Saturday." Ash said.

"What did you had planned?" Nati asked.

"Since Dave didn't want nobody crying and all that I wanted to honor him by doing what he would wanted to drink red wine and laugh." Ashley said shaking her head, "it seems silly though."

"No it's not!" Nati said.

"If you feel like you're doing what he wanted to do doesn't seem to me." Kat said.

"What time then? JJ asked.

"I was thinking which is better after lunch or before lunch?" Ash asked.

"I think about before lunch would be better." Emily said.

"Which restaurant should we go then?" Ash asked.

"What about his favorite place? The one where we had the surprise lunch when he resigned the second time." Emily said.

So they got everything clear for Rossi's first anniversary and they were getting ready to head back home to their families. Nati couldn't believe that it was going to be a year already.

So what do you think?
