3 weeks later.

Today, Bette and Tina would finally meet Fabian and Zareb’s children. They had wanted to meet them earlier but Fabian and Zareb had decided it was best to let the kids adapt to their new home and parents. Indigo could only speak Spanish and Indiana could only understand that language. If the kids wanted to communicate with Zareb, Fabian always translated but they were also teaching the little ones English. Patricia, Nathaniel, Maleah-Odette, Dmitri and Romain would meet their niece and nephew next week. Fabian and Zareb wanted to spread all the meetings.

They also didn’t want to push the kids to call them Dad or Daddy. Zareb would like the kids to call him Babaa, Ebee (emphasize on the b) or Ab which is Arabic. If the kids would never take to call them that, then they would accept it. The kids’ last name was Medina now but they wanted to change that to Bashir-Portez. Bashir was Zareb’s last name and Portez is a combo of Porter and Perez. Their first names would stay the same because they loved them and it would be weird for the kids to suddenly have another name. Their middle names were another situation.

Indiana Marta wasn’t really their style and Indigo Montserrat was just very bad. They knew it would take some time before everything was in order to change Indiana Marta Medina to Indiana Kalila Bashir-Portez and Indigo Montserrat Medina to Indigo Aziz Bashir-Portez but they were able to wait.

Kalila was Zareb’s grandmother’s name and meant beloved or loved. Aziz was Zareb’s Dad’s name and meant powerful, strong, or respected.

They knew the names were long but they liked.

Indiana had a dark skin and green eyes. Her hair was still very short and fluffy. She could walk a few steps alone but still needed some help. She was 71cm high and giggled a lot. Fabian had told Tina and Bette that it was the cutest sound in the whole world.

Indigo had the same dark skin as his sister but had dark brown eyes. He had half-long hair that was wavy. He was 83cm height. He talked like crazy and was very energetic. Zareb had told them that the boy was always running around and couldn’t sit still for more than 20 seconds.
