Nice to meet you

"Jasmin, I know I promised you that we will come out, but I'm busy." Alejandro hates moments when he must refuse to his daughter at something. He tried to do to that as less as possible, becazse she is growing up without a mother, and he therefore thinks she deserves the all attention of the world he can give her.
"Maybe aunt Beth can take you somewhere," but it's not the same. Jasmin wanted to spend time with her father. Although all her pampered, even with her 4 year old Jasmin is a very mature girl, and not at all spoiled. Every day she reminds him more to her mother, but now he knows that Jasmin will grow into a beautiful and smart girl just like her mother was.
The sadness in her blue eyes is something that Alejandro did not want to see, and at the end he surrendered with a sigh.
"Okay, I'll go make some calls and then we'll have lunch at your favorite restaurant," he laughed when the little girl's face lit up.
"Thank you daddy, I love you a lot," Jasmin came over and hugged him.

After fifteen minutes, Alejandro change his clothes and then helped Jasmin het ready and already in 1 pm they went.
Since they are from Diagon Alley were just a half an hour drive, they sat in the car and a little later they parked. Alejandro preferred driving the car because he believes that Jasmin is too small for any other form of travel.They entered in the crowded restaurant and sat down at an empty table until someone serve them.
Of course, Jasmin could not sit long in one place and is already after few minutes take off her jacket and went to play with other children.

Vanessa had the day off from work but her daughter Sascha wanted to go play. So Vanessa got dressed and got Sascha dressed in her favorite purple and pink dress with leggings. They bundled up in their coats, scarves, and mittens. They walked across the street towards diagon alley and entering in through the Leaky. They went to the entrance of the alley then finally arrived at Babbity Rabbity's.

As soon as she walked in one of the waitress' came up to them. "Well so much for a day off?" She said giving Vanessa a wink.

"Yeah, she likes coming here a lot though I have no idea why," She said with a grin towards her daughter.

"It's because they give me lots of cookies!" Sascha said with a giggle handing Nessa her coat as she ran to go play with the other kids.

Nessa laughed at her daughters words knowing it was the truth. "Well that does make sense." She said smiling at the waitress.

"She's such a cutie, let me get you a table close to the play area." She said leading Nessa to a table. "So how's the morning sickness?"

"Thanks." Nessa said with a smile as she looked around as they walked. "It's a lot better now, I'm just hoping that it's not horrible later on." She said honestly as she looked at the tables around her. She saw several families but she saw a lone guy sitting a table but didn't focus on anything long. "It looks busy today. Do you girls have enough waitresses? Or busboys?" She asked curiously.

"Oh no you don't. You are off today we have it handled and yes we have enough of both." The waitress said with a stern look at her. "Okay take a look at the menu and one of the girls will be over."

"Okay I'll be good." Nessa said with a smile. "Ok thanks." She looked through the menu to decide what she was going to eat.

Alejandro was closely monitoring the views of each daughter's step.
Since Katrien died, he just worries too much about Jasmin, as if he is afraid if for a moment lose sight of Jasmin she will disappear as her mother.
He noticed that Jasmin playing with a girl who had just arrived, and he laughed.
Soon, she will grow up and will no longer be this careless.

After a few minutes Jasmin and her new friend came to his desk.
"Daddy, this is my new friend Sascha. Will you buy some ice cream to us?" As always, Jasmin was direct.
She's just like her mother, right to the point without wasting time.

Alejandro laughed and then looked at both girls.
"I'm glad to met you Sascha. You have a very nice name. I will be happy to buy both of you ice cream, but I think you should first ask your friend's parents if they're agree," he looked at the girl.
"Where are your parents?" girl pointed to a blond girl sitting at a table near him, and then he stood up and walked over to her.

"Excuse me? I'm Alejandro. My daughter plays with your" looked at the girl before he continued.
"I would like to buy them ice cream, so I wanted to check to see if you agree with that?" once upon a time, he would just buy ice cream, but recently had an incident where Jasmin and her friend offered peanuts although he did not know that the girl is allergic. Since then, he decided to always ask parents before buy something for children.

Vanessa watched her daughter playing with another little girl and smiled knowing how friendly her daughter was. She was approached by many of the staff at Babbity Rabbity who had some issues that needed addressed. She had the issues sorted out in minutes, she looked around at the tables of other parents there with their little ones and smiled.

She was lost in thought when Sascha came over and touched her arm, she smiled down at her. Hearing a man's voice she looked up at the man who she saw when they walked in. "Nice to meet you Alejandro. I'm Vanessa." She said with a smile and saw the little girl that Sascha had been playing with earlier. She smiled when Sascha gave her a pleading look for ice cream. "That's fine, thank you for asking." She said to Alejandro. "Remember you have to eat your lunch too." She gave her daughter a look which caused Sascha to grin. "Would you like to join us at our table Alejandro? There's plenty of room." She asked with a smile.

Sascha look at Alejandro expectantly before she looked at his daughter.

He laughed, looking at the blonde.
"I'm glad I met you Vanessa. You have a really beautiful daughter," he said honestly, looking at both girls. They looked like little sweet angels.
When he heard the answer broadly smiled and looked at the girls.
"All right, we have the permission. Here you are" from his pocket pulled out a few coins and handed them to the girls. "I will make you look and you go buy the ice cream. Hurry, the counter is empty!" he laughed when girls ran and then he turned back to Vanessa.

"Surely I will not bother you? If not, then I'll be happy to join you," he laughed and then he sat down.
He pulled out his wand and pointed it at his drink which was on his old desk.
"Wingardium Leviosa," he whispered and then carefully balanced with his wand until he landed a drink at the table.
He took a sip and then looked at Vanessa.
"Do you work here? I could have sworn I had seen you here before," he smiled and looked at the girl.
