I thought I finished this one overhere but I didn't. So sorry for the really, really big delay...but I can go quick now cause I already finished the story on the Dutch board months ago.
A sweet winter day and night.
"Hurry inside!" I hear Luka yell against the girls, they have been playing in the garden from the minute they finished their breakfast. It had been snowing since yesterday afternoon and both had sat in the windowsill sipping their hot chocolate. Maggie skipped school today cause the other day we had a bit of a party to celebrate. Kaitlin doesn’t need the transplantation right away; her medication finally is getting to work. We took them out for dinner in a fancy restaurant, and god I wished we just went to McDonalds. Sure they now how to behave, we had dinners before big dinners from Luka his work but yesterday it was just a little to much. After the doctor gave Kaitlin the permission to run she had run from that same minute till she fell asleep in the car on our way back home. They had asked the waiter if they could have one glass of bubbling water. He gave it. They dripped coffee cream and sugar in it and let us, and the rest of the people, see how a volcano works. We could laugh but the other people didn’t. It didn’t bother me until the chef came to our table and simply asked us to leave. Once in the car we laughed so hard and both girls complained about the lack of nice people in the restaurant.
So right now Luka wants them to come back inside with him, after they threw snowballs at him, but they are playing their most favorite game; tease our parents. We both hate it cause they stand up with the two of them against one of us. And one of us laughs at the other for their lack of skills to let them settle down. I look from where I am standing, at the kitchen sink, through the kitchen window and see Kaitlin and Maggie laughing and Luka giving them his ‘I am so totally pissed right now’ face. I know them, all three, to well. They only have to look at me and I can read from their face what is going, if they are hiding something, if it’s bad or good. It’s precious to read that cause nobody else can. On times when they are not aware that the three of them are together and I watch them from my point of view I feel proud to have them in my life. Proud at them for whom they are and what they will and have become. With the girls, I hope they will have, from now on, a nice life. Without sadness and sorrow. They deserve it so much; after all they have been through. Finally Luka gives up and I see that he slightly smiles when he approached the door. He wraps his cold hands around my waist and I stand straight up for a fling moment. "Hot chocolate?" I ask him turning my head so I can face him. He nods and looks back to where the girls are, standing ready with each a snowball in one hand knowing one of us will open the door to ask them to join us in front of the fireplace. I smile and he notices. "It’s your turn mommy." He says and looks at me. I nod and know what kind of tactic I am going to use. I walk away from his grip into the living room. I grab my coat and leave the house from the front door to walk through our front yard into the back yard. I catch them both in their necks and they are surprised. "Mom!" They both exclaim and drop the snowballs they had ready to throw. "Inside now!" I say strictly and they sigh and let me lead them.
I have Kaitlin wrapped around me while I look at Maggie wrapped around Luka, watching the flames in the fireplace. Nobody ever told me that life could be this pleasant and warm. And if somebody had told me I still hadn’t believed them cause I never had this safety ness my girls have. I never had a mom that would cuddle me when I was mad or feeling sad. I give them everything I never had. A safe home to life, a warm and beloved cuddle to give them shelter, a few words before bedtime, but most of the time just my love for them is enough. I see Maggie looking at me, slightly smiling and I smile back. Her smile grows bigger and one of her fingers points at Kaitlin. I look down and see Kaitlin is drifted of in a sleep. Her mouth is open, her eyes closed and her cheeks are blushy. I take her higher into my grip and she wakes up a little. She looks at me and a drowsy smile curls up around her mouth. She places one of her little hands on mine and I feel how warm she is, bubbly, with her thumb she cares mine and I smile lovely at her. She whispers something but I can’t understand a word of what she’s saying. I just nod and she smiles. I don’t have a clue on what I just answered but it doesn’t bother whatever it is it will be fine. Then I feel the baby kicking and suddenly Kaitlin is fully awake. "Wow." She exclaims lifting her head from my belly. "I know." I say and strike away some loose curls of her face. "Defiantly a boy." She says when she does the same in my face. "You think?" I ask and smile. She nods and Maggie sits in front of me with her hand on my belly to feel their new sister or brother. Soon all three hands are on mine belly. Luka his big strong hand, Maggie her cold fingers and Kaitlin her soft warm once. I smile as I feel the baby kicking again, saying hello to her or his new family. I place one hand on top of Luka his and with the other I grab the hands of the girls and hold them. I almost cry but I swallow it back, not ruining this remarkable moment.
It’s late, midnight when I wake up and notice I am having contractions. It’s a bit too early but not too. "Luka." I say and shake him. Fast he sits up and opens his eyes. "What’s wrong? Kaitlin?" He asks panicked. "No. I think I am having contractions." I say when I feel another one coming up. "Now?" He frowns. Unbelievable, he asks several times a day that I am sure it’s only kicking and now, when I think I really have contractions he asks now?. "Yeah now." I say and sigh. "Did you water broke?" He asks. I shake my head. "Then go back to sleep." He says and lies back resting his head into his pillow. "Excuse me? Luka!" I almost yell. "Just go back to sleep Abby. It can take another 12 hours before you really go into labour." He says closing his eyes. I shake my head when the bedroom door opens. Four eyes look at me. "Mommy why were you yelling?" Maggie asks when she sits down at the end of our bed. "Mommy is going to have the baby very soon now." I tell her while I take her hand. "O. But don’t you have to go to the hospital?" Kaitlin asks when she comes closer. "No, mommy is going to have the baby right here." I tell them pointing at the bed. "Like in this bed?" Maggie frowns. "In this bed." I answer. Their looks change and they look at each other. "That’s iewh." Kaitlin says and gives me nasty face. "It’s not. Mommy would have delivered you at home if that could. It’s normal." I try to explain. "O. But Susan didn’t had Bo at home." Kaitlin frowns. And I am done talking. There is nothing in the world that will make them satisfy. I ask them to crawl next to us and they both take the middle of the bed. Maggie taking Luka his hand and lying close to him. Kaitlin with me, looking at me when I grin when I feel another contraction. I try to force a smile but she knows me to well and lays her little hand on my forehead and tells me everything will be all right. That are the words I said so many times when I sat down with her, when she was sick.
We all fall asleep and wake together when Kaitlin starts screaming that the bed is getting wet. She’s right my water broke. Quickly the girls get out of the bed and stand there looking at me when I smile another contraction away. Luka guides them to Maggie her room and tells them to wait there till Susan is ringing the bell. Luka stays with me in the meantime he calls the OB-nurse and Susan. I asked her to deliver my baby; well not to deliver but to be there when I deliver.
It seems like hours but it’s only 3 hours later when Susan lays my newborn baby girl on my belly and the tears shatter down our faces. Luka takes my hand and squeezes it a little I look at him and smile between my tears. His hands close to my cheek and he brushes away the tears of happiness. "A name." He says when he looks down at my belly to the girl wrapped in a blanket. "Yeah." I sigh. "I know we have discussed this but we picked four." He says and smiles, I smile back thinking which name we have to pick. "Leona still suits the best with the other girls." He sighs. He’s right Kaitlin, Leona and Maggie sounds nice. I think for a while we had four, Leona, Lillian, Wendy and Britt. I like Britt. "What about Britt?" I ask him. "Also nice." He sighs it’s hard cause we love all four names we picked. "What about Britt Leona Kovac." Susan suggests. We both look at her. "That’s perfect!" I smile; she smiles back and leaves us to get the girls ready to meet their new sister. "Britt Leona Kovac, I love it." Luka says and takes her off my belly and into his arms. The door swings open and four sparkling eyes look at me. "Come here both of you." I say and tremble my voice. "Mommy?" Maggie frowns not knowing how to handle this wave of emotions. "It’s ok baby." I smile briefly. "Ok." She says and nods. Kaitlin is already with Luka who’s sitting on his side of the bed with Britt in his hands. "She’s little." Kaitlin says looking at Luka. I see him smiling. Maggie crawls over my belly and next to Luka. "You two were smaller." I say looking at the baby Luka is holding in his arms. "Mommy what’s her name?" Maggie asks. "Britt Leona Kovac." I pronounce. "Three! We only have two!" Kaitlin exclaims. "I know but we couldn’t find the perfect name, they both are perfect. But we call her just Britt." I explain. "Just Britt?" Maggie frowns. "Then it’s four. Just Britt Leona Kovac." Kaitlin frowns. "No, listen. Her full name is Britt Leona Kovac. But we call her Britt." Luka tries to explain. "Oh. So Britt is her name?" Maggie frowns. "Yeah." I sigh.
Susan stays and gets the girls ready for school, I said they didn’t need to go but they wanted to go so badly that I agreed with them. It gives Luka and me some time alone with Britt. She’s asleep now in her nursery, Marc his former bedroom. It took me months to open that door and sort his things out. We gathered it all in a set of boxes and placed it on the attic, to once be opened again when the time is ready. Luka prepared the room, I couldn’t. Every time I entered the light blue bedroom with his formula1 bed the tears came across my face. I look at my nightstand where his pictures stands, it’s the only one left in the whole house I took the rest away and placed them in a album for the girls. This one is mine. I take it in my hand and kiss the picture like I would kiss him. It’s weird I know but it’s emotional. I hold it in my hand for a while to place it back when Luka walks back inside. He caught me on my very weakest and looks at me. I nod and know what he means without telling it out loud. He sits down next to me and takes me in his arms, we cry until Britt wakes and Luka gets her to feet her. She’s just searching for my breast when Susan walks in she smiles. "Finally a girl that is awake when I’m around!" She smiles and I smile back. "Yeah, and you know her father doesn’t need to worry this time if he took the right one." I laugh remembering how Luka never could tell the difference between Maggie and Kaitlin when they were babies. Now he can tell it even when he sees them from a mile. It’s easy. Maggie is the brunette and Kaitlin the blonde. I know it’s weird but it’s true. First they both had the same colour of hair as Luka has but now Maggie is a bit lighter then him and Kaitlin has sometimes blonde hair and sometimes a bit like a brunette.
When she’s done eating I hand her over to Susan, who became godmother again today, she takes her up to her chest and whispers something, I can’t understand it but it must be sweet.
She leaves Luka and me alone to do some shopping for dinner for the girls and I am sure she will stay here tonight for dinner. I sigh, tired from everything. "Take a nap." Luka suggest. "Yeah." I yawn. "Sit up." He says and I do. He crawls behind me and I let myself rest against his chest while he wraps his arms around me. One of his hands cares my hair and I slowly close my eyes and wander off in a sweet sleep.
