Great update Rory!!! Although, I also think Clarisse's mom needs to be slapped. very hard. maybe slapped a few times. I can't believe she said that right in front of her. maybe... Clarisse should go live with her real parents???

Today, you won't have feedbacks from me! My daughter read the whole pic about one hour ago, ( she understands english!) and she just asked me to tell you ( quoting ): " it's one of the best books she has ever read". "Much better than any stupid french book for children Awww! *blushes* your daughter is soooo sweet! Her words make me so happy thank you "little zelda" I know, I want to slap Clarisse's mother too, maybe we should bring Abby to do that ...hehehe... Now, let's have a little Lubyness... _______________________________________ CHAPTER 5: OUR BABY
Luka and Abby, were standing under the emergency staircase of Luka’s apartment building. Thinking how the hell they were going to get into Luka's apartment.
“We should’ve called a locksmith” Luka shook his head. “This isn’t a good idea” “Trust me, we don’t need a locksmith” Abby looked at him “Do you still sleep with your window open?” She asked. “Yeah” “Good. Then, we just have to pull that emergency stair down, climb and get into your apartment by the window. It’s easy. Come on Luka, just give me a boost up there” Abby pulled out her raincoat and tossed it to one side. “A what?” Luka looked at her “Abby we’re going to look like burglars” “Oh, shut up and bend over” She stood behind him, as he began to bend over to let her climb onto his back. “You could at least buy me a dinner first” He chuckled. Abby chuckled too and began to climb onto his back. “Ouch!” Luka almost lost his balance “You’re a little… heavy. You’ve been eating Frank’s donuts, eh?” “SHUT UP” She laughed, trying to sit on Luka’s shoulders. Seconds later, he stood up straight and Abby reached out her hand to grab and pull the stairs down. “See? Easy?…no locksmith needed” “POLICE!!! FREEZE!!! KEEP YOUR HANDS UP!!!” A police yelled behind their backs.
AN HOUR LATER…
“We don’t need any locksmiths” Luka sang in a very sarcastic tone. “Oh come on! We didn’t get arrested” Abby walked into the apartment. “We didn’t get arrested? They were about to handcuff us!” Luka closed the door. "I told you we were going to look like burglars." Abby smiled "Oh, Come on! Don't tell me you didn't have fun" "You're crazy" He just shook his head
Abby looked around her; Luka’s apartment was still a mess. She walked into the kitchenette, making a face “My gosh, this place still looks disgusting” “Hey! I was cleaning when I got locked out” He shrugged. “Well, you better finish your cleaning” Abby chuckled “Bye!” “You’re leaving?” Luka asked “Oh come on! You’ve got the day off and I could use a little help” He smiled…and he smiled in that way, she knew she couldn’t refuse. “Oh no! No way... I’m not going to clean your mess” Abby crossed her arms. “Okay, how about if...I clean and wash whatever is 'yucky' and you just help me to put in order some things…like the dishes in the cupboard …or whatever you see it’s out of place." “Like your brain?” “Come on!” He laughed."Then I'll make us some lunch” “Okay, okay but I’m not touching those dishes in the sink, they’ve been there for what? Years? …Decades?” “Shut up!” He laughed again, it was really nice to have Abby as a friend again. They were talking more than they used when they were lovers and they were having fun.
They spent the evening cleaning the apartment. Luka doing the dishes and Abby vacuuming everything that was vacuumable, including Luka’s butt (when he bent over to pick up his dirty socks.) It was almost lunch time, when Abby went to open his closet to place a box full of magazines inside. “Where do I put it?” She asked “On the upper part” He replied, but then walked towards the closet “Let me do it, you’re not going to reach.” “Are you making fun of my size? ‘cause it isn’t funny you… lamp post...” She managed to put the box in the closet. But seconds later, everything that was on the upper part, including the wood supporting it, fell on her. “Sh*#!” A bunch of clothes and box landed all over the place. “Are you alright?" Luka went to help her "Forgot that I had to hammer a couple of nails up there” “A couple?” She looked at the new mess on the floor. “That was for calling me lamp post” Luka smiled. “My closet took revenge”
But Abby wasn’t listening to him anymore “What’s this?” She looked blankly at one of the boxes that opened with the fall. It was revealing a content that had been sealed years ago...tiny baby clothes, a newborn's hospital wristband, a tiny lock of brown hair. She swallowed hard, picking up the soft lock of hair. Luka leaned to pick up the box. His heart pounding hard in his chest.
They couldn't avoid the subject forever, it was too much for both of them... to keep it in silence, as if it had never happened...it hurt...
“It’s so little” She finally managed to say. Luka nodded and softly touched the lock of hair in her hand. "And soft" He smiled a little. “You kept everything” She sighed trying to look not too taken aback. “Yes” His voice was almost a whisper “I…I couldn’t throw it away” He looked into the box. Abby tilted her head to one side. They never talked about it after it happened, they did what they thought was the right thing to do and never dared to touch the subject again, but now, it was time... “She’ll be nine next week” She said awkwardly. “I know” Luka stared at her and nodded towards the calendar, the date was marked. "She had your hair" He took the tiny lock of hair. "I bet she must look exactly like you" Abby smiled a little, but still, words came out with difficuly "Oh no, she was our... baby so she must have a little of you too." Luka smiled. A silence fell between them for a few seconds...
“Do you think…" Abby frowned "Do you think…she’s fine?…That she is happy?” “I hope so” Luka turned to place the box in the closet “She must be…We were told she was going to have everything, remember?” Abby nodded “Then she must be happy” She bit her lower lip. Not knowing that somewhere, in New York, a little girl was thinking about them, too._______________________ Thanks everyone for your little comments, I love to read them all.
