Chapter 84: Another Day
Its another day.. Luka is at work.. and I am home.. the girls are at school. thank god. I mean, I love my children.. but... they were driving me nuts. Ryan is easy to please.. you set him down in front of the TV, and hes happy. The boys.. well.. they're just babies.. they're easy... and then theres Josip.. well.. me and him are working on things.. like speaking. He is getting better at feeding himself too.. speaking and walking.... me and Luka are worried about those two things. He wants to say things.. I know he does.. he tries.. and he tries so hard.. and then he gets too frustrated.. and stops trying.
I got so frustrated that he was getting so frustrated yesterday, I started crying.. and I could tell by the look in his eyes... all he wanted to do was comfort me.... with his words. Why did this have to happen to him? the closest thing to a father I can remember. My father? what do I remember about him? leaving. all I remember is him leaving... but Josip.. he is a great father! a great father-in-law, and the best grandfather. He didn't deserve this.
Ryan walks over to me, and is holding an empty 'sippy cup' as he calls them. "mommy?" He says softly.
"Yes?"
"Can I have more?" He gives me his cup.
"Sure.. come on." I place my hand on the back of his head, and lead him into the kitchen.. I take the lid off, and set it on the counter.. "What do you want?"
"umm.." He puts his finger on his chin, thinking.. "Chocate milk!"
"Ok.." As I'm pouring the milk, the phone rings.. and I reach over and grab it. "Hello?"
"Hi, Mrs. Kovac?"
"Yes?"
"This is Ms. Hill.. Emily's teacher."
"Oh, Hi.. is everything ok?"
"Well.. I'm worried about Emily.. shes not interacting with the other children and.. she drew some disturbing pictures... shes just not herself..."
"Um.. well, she has been through a lot.. recently, we were in Croatia, and she found her grandfather unconscience in the kitchen.. which was on fire.. and she couldn't wake him up.. and she didn't know what to do.. and then her grandfather had to have surgery to stop bleeding in his brain.. and... yeah, shes just been through a lot."
"Well, that explains her pictures... I hope everything is ok with your father?"
"In-law... and theres a lot of damage.. but, I think he'll be ok.. and I'll talk to Emily.. "
"Well, actually I was wondering, if you were available to come in when you pick her up?"
"Oh.. yeah, sure... "
"Ok, thanks."
"yup."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hang up the phone, and then give Ryan his chocolate milk.. I follow him back to the living room, and fall onto the couch.. Josip is sitting in an arm chair.. and Ryan is on the floor.. laying on his back.. with his legs in the air.. he is kicking them back and forth.. and reaching for his feet... I glance at the boys who are asleep in their swings... and then the clock.. its just past 12... "Hey Ry.. you want some lunch?"
"Yeah!"
"What do you want?"
"Macawoni."
"Ok.. you stay in here with tata.."
"Otay mommy."
When lunch is ready, I walk back into the living room, and turn off Sesame Street. "Hey!" Ryan says looking back at me. "It was Burt and Ernie!"
"Sorry.. I thought you wanted lunch?"
"I do!"
"Ok, well its ready.. and we can't eat out here."
"Is tata eating?"
"Ask him."
"Tata, want lunch?" He asks walking over to him. "Mommy made macawoni." He says something that sounds like a yeah.. and nods. "He wants some mommy." I stroke his hair back, and he giggles, and then walks over to where his cup is. I ease Josip up out of the chair and then into his wheel chair, and then we go into the kitchen.. at the table, Ryan is in his booster seat next to tata.. and I am across from them. I look at Ryan who is watching Josip.. he puts his spoon down, and continues to stare at him. He sort of shakes his head, and then picks up the spoon that Josip dropped. He scoops some macaroni onto it, and then brings it to Josip's mouth. "I help you tata."
I put my own spoon down and watch, as my son, who can barely get the food into his mouth with out spilling, feeds his grandfather... He brings the spoon back to Josip's mouth, and it falls off the spoon and into his lap. "Ooops." He says, looking at the mess. Josip smiles.. and then leans his head forward slightly, kissing Ryan's forehead. As I watch him.. I know he is going to be ok.

Chapter 85: Forgive Me?
ONE YEAR, 3 MONTHS LATER.
I wake up early, and sit up in bed. Abby lay beside me.. sound asleep. I stroke her sweet face, and smile to myself, before peeling the comforter back, and swinging my legs over the side of the bed. I glance at the clock and its 7:13.. The boys should be up.. they should have been up at least an hour ago. They're early risers. I step out of the bedroom, and across the hall, the nursery door is slightly open. Sitting in the rocking chair is my father.. Aidan and Charley are both sitting on his lap. "look whose awake." I hear him whisper. He points at me, and my two boys look up at me with their wide eyes. "Who is that?" he asks them.
"Huh Aidan? who is that?"
"Daddy!" Josip sets him down, and he waddles toward me. I scoop him up into my arms, and the next thing I know, Charley is sitting on my foot, his arms wrapped around my leg, looking up at me. Aidan starts squirming, and points at his brother, so I set him down. He sits on my other foot, and wraps his arms around my leg.. They are both looking up at me, huge smiles across their faces.
I hear the old wooden chair creak, and look up to see my dad, getting up and grabbing his cane. He limps over to me, and I can't help but think about the day, I thought I lost him. Its a miracle he survived.. and it amazed me, Abby and all the doctors when he recovered as quickly as he did. He won't ever be quite the same.. he needs a cane now.. and his left leg drags a bit.. his speech gets slurred together sometimes.. and other times he can't quite think of the words to say.. but thats ok. Its fine. Just having him here.. is good enough.
I hear a door open, and then another.. and then two girls whining... Abby must be getting the girls up for school. Emily is now in 1st grade.. She is a very good reader... and excels in music class. Where she got that talent.. no one knows. Sophia is in kindergarten.. she has mastered tying shoes recently.. she wants to tie everyones shoes... its what she is most proud of. Ryan.. he is 3 now... and still has to be the brightest, and sweetest of the bunch. And I know where he got that from. His old man of course. And then there's these two at my feet. The final additions to our family. The twins. Aidan and Charley.
These two are little devils. They are worse then their sisters... They are into everything.. and they are climbers. Charley actually fractured his arm 3 months ago.. climbing out of his crib.. he learned his lesson.. and never did it again. Between them.. I'd say Aidan is the mastermind, and Charley is the sidekick. Although he does climb more.
I walk carefully down the stairs.. the boys still around my legs.. laughing.. they love when they get rides. I am going so slow, even my dad made it down before me. In the kitchen, Abby is making a pot of coffee, and the girls are at the table, eating cereal. My dad picks up Aidan, and I grab Charley.. we set them in their high chairs, and Abby pours some Cheerios for each of them. Of course instead of eating it.. they start throwing them at their sisters.. Who start screaming.. another typical morning for us. I turn around and look at the boys, who immediately stop.. They both have sly smiles on.. and are trying to play innocent.. Aidan pops a cheerio in his mouth.. and Charley does the same...
I turn back around, and see Ryan coming into the kitchen.. "Hey buddy."
"Hi daddy."
"Did you sleep good?"
"uh huh."
"Do you want some breakfast?"
"Yes pwease." He climbs into a chair and Abby sets a bowl in front of him.. kisses the top of his head, and then walks over to me. I warp and arm around her waist, and kiss her.
"How about you? did you sleep good?"
"Well.. I would have slept better if you didn't snore so loud."
"I don't snore."
"Oh.. " She laughs. "Yes you do."
"Do not.."
"Luka.. Admit it.. you snore... you snore loud."
"Ok.. maybe I snore kind of.. but not that bad.."
"Not that bad?! I think the neighbors could probably hear you!"
"I do not!"
"Fine.. whatever you say.."
ohh.. I'll get her back.
"Hey Abby.. can I talk to you a minute?"
"We are talking."
"I mean.. in the living room."
"Ok.." I lead her into the living room, and sit down on the couch. "Is everything ok?" She asks. I grab her hand, and pull her down to the couch, next to me. "There is something I wanted to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
"Well.. I was thinking.. and.. now that my father is living with us.. I think it would be a good time for me to.. go.. to Africa."
She just looks at me and starts shaking her head.. tears threatening to spill over.. I am so mean...
"Just for a little while."
"Luka.. how can you.. want to do this? do you remember the last time?! I can't believe you! why do you do this? why?"
I suddenly start laughing, and she looks at me, while wiping her eyes. "I'm just kidding.. you think I would really do that to you again?" I laugh. She hits me.. and not even playfully.. really hard. "Ow.." I rub my arm, where she hit me, and look at her. "You are such an ass whole.." She says, still crying.
"Oh.. Abby I'm sorry... I was just getting you back..." I say.
"That wasn't funny Luka.. you scared me to death... I thought you were serious.. " I press my forehead to hers, and kiss her lips gently. "Forgive me?"
She kisses me back. "Always."
THE END.
I know I jumped ahead.. and skipped through things.. but.. I was having a little trouble thinking of what to write.. and this fic has been going for a while now... I know this ending was kind of sucky but... I hope you guys liked the fic.
