"Twick or treat!" Angelo yelled as they rang a doorbell. Even when it was a little odd to really go trick or treating in New York, Niels and Amanda had the luck Rico lived in a part of town that had normal houses. Because of that, Emilia, Angelo and now Eliana would have an opportunity to actually enjoy Halloween to the fullest. The streets were decorated, here and there Niels could swear he could even see some pumkins. It all excited little Elia, who was feeling better thanks to her medicines, and she pointed at them, squealing in excitement. And her excitement carried over to Rhea, who was waving excitedly in her mummy's arms.
They had taken this opportunity to spend some more time with Rico and his family, certainly since they had returned from China not that long ago. And the kids certainly seemed to like seeing each other again. They walked close to each other, chatting happily before running to houses. Every time they reached a house, Emi rang the bell, before Angelo and Lucie gave the people their cutest looks, begging them to get some candy. And that approach seemed to work. The families walking up after the kids only made the inhabitants of most homes think they were even more cute, courtesy of the two baby girls being dressed up sweetly. After finishing the round of the neighbourhood, they all retreated to Rico and Ceci's home for a Halloween dinner. They caught up, watching pictures, both of their hosts' trip and pictures of the children in their outfits. They all looked so cute. After going home and putting Emi and Angelo to bed, they gave Elia her medicine. Once the little girl was to bed as well, Niels and Amanda cuddled up on the couch, watching their kids pictures again. The collage Rico had made was beautiful, and Niels whispered to Amanda: "We need to have this printed... Our little ones need to be remembered of days like these when they're older..." He looked at the picture again, sighing.
