And this is it! My last chapter. I don’t know if she has to tell him everything that happened. I think he guessed and maybe that’s enough…anyway, I trust TPTB (maybe I shouldn’t?) and I’m waiting for the beautiful Luby ending we all deserve
Chapter 5: and this is the wonder that keeps the stars apartCroatia, Zagreb airport, (thank you Andrejia!)And here I was. Finally arriving and running to them. I looked for a second, and I saw them, waiting for me at the arrivals gate.
Luka was standing there, we looked at each other, he smiled shyly. Joe was next to him, holding his hand.
Both of them were so moving to watch, my tiny blond boy and my big Croatian sensation.
They are all my life.
Suddenly Joe saw me, he stared at me and offered me a big smile. I opened my arms and he ran to me and threw himself into my chest.
I was holding him and hugging him strongly.
The time was stopped.
And here she was. Finally arriving from Chicago. She saw us and I smiled. Joe suddenly recognised his mom and ran to her.
I saw on her face a beautiful, happy and real smile.
The one I haven’t seen these past few weeks. Her smile I missed like crazy during the months we were separated.
Joe was in her arms, she kissed him a thousand times, giggling, rising and caressing him. And suddenly my eyes were shining.
They are all my life.
She came to me still holding Joe, the baby’s head on her shoulder. She put her free arm around my neck, her eyes into my eyes, I caressed her cheek softly, and we were so closed I could smell her delicate perfume. We stayed here, my lips touching lightly hers, our eyes full of tears.
It was tears of pain and emotion, tears of apologize and forgiveness, and finally tears of love and happiness.
And I kissed her.
I kissed her during a long moment, our baby between us.
The time was stopped.
And here we are. The three of us finally reunited. I put my arms around you and Joe. You put your head on my chest and I caress your hair. I finally talk to say that we’ll never be separated again. “Anywhere you go, I go” I added whispering.
You look at me and you smile. And I know we’re gonna be happy now, because of your smile.
This beautiful smile you had when we got married, this cute smile when I proposed to you, this amazing smile when we found out everything was right with the pregnancy, this shy smile when I told you one is all we need, this smile you had after I kissed you in this bar when we first dated, this amusing smile when we woke up in the same bed more than 2 years ago.
This smile I saw on your face when we first met in Cook County hospital.
