Chapter 29: Packing
Today was November 3, and Luka and Abby were packing all of their things for the trip. “We’re getting married in six days!” Luka said out of nowhere.
“I know! I can’t believe it!” Abby said.
“Ok, I’ll name something and you tell me if you have it ok?” Luka asked her.
“Ok, but Luka, just so you know, it’s called a check list.” Abby said.
“I knew that.” Luka said looking down.
“Sure you did,” Abby said to herself more than to him. “Ok, let’s start. Hmm…clothes for you, me, Shelly, and Joshua.” Luka said.
“Yeah, we have plenty.” Abby said.
“Toiletries?” Luka asked.
“Yeah, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, comb, brush, lotion, sun tan lotion,ibuprofen, hair ties, hmm…and these things that we need.” Abby said with a grin.
“Yeah a think you got all the toiletries we need. Ok, um…baby stuff.” Luka said.
“Well, let’s see…bottles, bibs, pacifiers, blankets, diapers and lots of them, wipes, lots of those too, rash crème, medicine and thermometer just in case, breast pump, bottle sterilizer, carriers, and car seats, baby lotion, baby wash, wash cloths, stroller, oh and diaper bag, and I think that’s all.” Abby said.
“Yeah, I think that’s enough, but my dad bought a portable crib and some other things, and knowing him, we will need more room. I think that’s what he was hinting at, he said he had a lot of stuff for us and that we should bring more luggage than we really need.” Luka said.
“Are we staying at the place you own or with your dad?” Abby asked.
“I think we can stay with my father because the place really isn’t fixed up yet. You should see his house, you’ll be shocked.” Luka said.
“I bet I will be, are we almost done?” Abby asked.
“I think we are.” Luka said, grabbing Abby by the waist for a kiss and she put her arms around his neck.
“I think we should check on Shelly and Josh first,” Abby said after coming up for air.
“Ok,” Luka said.
They went into the nursery and quietly crept up to their almost four month old babies. Luka looked at Abby and smiled, “They look like angels when they sleep, like you.” Luka said.
“Thanks Luka, they look so peaceful,” Abby said as they walked from crib to crib making sure everything was alright.
“I know,” Luka said.
“They’re getting so big!” Abby said and with that they each gave the twins a little kiss on the forehead and then crept out of the room to their bedroom for a little fun before their flight.
************************************************************************************
“That was amazing Luka!” Abby screamed when they were done.
“I know! We better do this more often.” Luka said.
“Yeah we should, but right now I’m tired and it’s already one in the morning and we have to get up at five so let’s go to sleep.” Abby said.
“Ok,” Luka said, “goodnight Abby, I love you.”
“Good night, I love you too Luka.” Abby said.
Luka put his arms around her and they drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms.

It's okay, I got it while reading. when you were saying carrier you were refering to a carseat. I beleive carriers are those things were you 'carry' the baby against your body...I'm i right?. Like the one Abby was trying on Luka in one epi. Anyway great update. luv it!

Chapter 30: Airports
Luka woke up to the alarm clock at five in the morning. He turned around to see that Abby had rolled over and they were holding hands. He grabbed her by the waist and said, “Time to get up babe, we don’t want our miss our flight.”
“Ok,” Abby said, as if she was already awake.
“How come you got up so easily today?” Luka asked her.
“That would be because I’ve been up for a while now, just waiting for that alarm clock to ring.” Abby said.
They got the rest of their things together and Abby realized something, “Hey, Luka, we forgot to pack the formula and their toys! How could we forget those things?”
“Oh, I already packed those, I’m one step ahead of you today.” Luka said.
Abby went to get Shelly and Joshua ready while Luka packed the diaper bag and loaded the luggage into the car. Abby got them dressed in two matching outfits. Shelly’s was lilac and Joshua’s was sky blue and they both said “Little Angels” in the front. Abby fed them and by the time she was done, Luka was in the nursery.
“All ready?” he asked.
“Yeah, just finished.” Abby said, handing Joshua over to him. Luka and Abby went downstairs and put the babies into their car seats and carried them to the car. They buckled them up and drove to the airport.
They got to the airport and parked the car in a special lot. Then, they got a cart to put all of the luggage on. Abby took out the baby carriers and put one on Luka and one on herself and they each took a baby. Now since Joshua felt heavier than Shelly, Luka placed him inside his carrier and Abby placed Shelly into hers. They took the car seats and the bases and put them on the cart and then checked to make sure they got everything out of the car.
“Should we use the skycap?” Abby asked Luka.
“What’s that?” he said.
“It’s when they check your bags outside and get your boarding passes outside to avoid the wait inside.” Abby said.
“Ok, sounds good to me, I don’t feel like waiting today.” Luka said.
They checked their bags and took their carry-on bags with them. They went through security and found their terminal. “What time is our flight?” Abby asked Luka.
“Seven thirty, it’s six forty right now, so it shouldn’t be long before we board the plane.” Luka said.
No less than fifteen minutes later, Shelly began to get fussy, and Abby knew that she wasn’t hungry yet so she told Luka, “I’m going to walk around with her for a little while before we board and maybe she will fall asleep.”
“Ok,” he said simply.
Abby walked around and rubbed Shelly’s back for her to get comfortable. Her little feet were dangling from the carrier and Abby began to rub them too. Soon enough, Shelly fell asleep, but then she heard, “Abby Lockhart to gate 33, Abby Lockhart to gate 33.”
“Oh my god!” Abby said and she checked her phone for the time and it was seven twenty-five, she also had three missed calls, she must have put her phone on silence.
Abby began to jog to the gate and by the time she got there, she saw Luka standing by the entry way with all of the bags and Josh, with a look of worry on his face. Abby ran over to them and said, “I’m so sorry, I must have lost track of time.”
They walked on the plane and Luka guided them to their seats, they were in row 1 seats A and B. “Luka these are first class tickets!” Abby said almost too loudly.
“I know, I wanted us to be comfortable.” Luka said.
“How can we afford…” Abby said and stopped in the middle of her sentence remembering what he had told her, “oh.” She said.
“Yeah, it’s nice.” Luka said.
They sat next to each other and asked the flight attendants if it was ok for them to leave Shelly and Joshua in their carriers on themselves. They said it would be ok, but to make sure that they had their own seatbelts on.
In no less than twenty minutes later, the plane took off and they were in the air. They realized that when they reached the United States again, they would be married and their lives would become one.

Chapter 31: Welcome Home
The plane had just landed and both Shelly and Joshua were asleep. Abby and Luka were gathering their bags and were about to get off the plane. The plane ride had been pretty good. Both babies slept most of the way and Luka and Abby slept too. Just as they stepped off the plane, they were greeted by Luka’s father.
“Welcome home son,” Josip said to his son, embracing him, but being careful not to wake Joshua, who was in his carrier on Luka.
“Abby, this is my father, Josip.” Luka said.
“I’ve heard so much about you,” Josip said.
“Really? What kind of things did you hear?” Abby asked as she too, hugged Josip.
“He said you were beautiful, and I can not disagree with him. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen!” Josip said.
“Thank you,” Abby said shyly.
“Now who are these two little ones?” Josip asked.
“Oh, yeah, sorry…this is Joshua and that is Shelly.” Luka said, pointing to each of the babies.
“Oh, they’re beautiful. One like each of you. You make beautiful babies, will you have more?” Josip asked.
“Yes,” Abby said, “eventually.”
They walked to the baggage claim and got their luggage. Josip went to get the van and pull it up front. Abby and Luka loaded the twins into their car seats and buckled them in. When Josip pulled up witht e van, they loaded up and put the babies in. Abby sat in the back with them and kept them happy while Luka and Josip talked in Croatian with one another.
They pulled up to a huge house on the beach. When Abby saw where they were, she gasped. “This is so beautiful,” she said more to herself that to Luka or Josip.
“I know,” Luka said back, “it has been many years since I have been here last, but I still remember it being like this.”
“Well, here we are,” Josip said.
“This is your house?” Abby asked.
“Yes, it is.” Josip said.
“Wow, it’s beautiful.” Abby said.
“Thank you.” Josip said.
They unloaded and went inside. The house was even more beautiful in the inside than it looked on the outside. It was so huge, and everywhere you went there was an extravagant view. Josip helped Luka put the bags in their room and then showed Abby around.
When her tour was over, Abby went back to their bedroom and laughed. “This house is so big, and I thought that our house was big.”
“I know,” Luka said, “well, tonight, we could either have dinner with my family and you could meet all of them or we can tour.”
“It doesn’t matter to me Luka, what ever you want to do is fine with me.” Abby said.
“Ok, then, how about we have dinner and then when the rest of them come in we can all go shopping and touring around, ok?” Luka asked.
“Of course, that was a wonderful plan.” Abby said.
Abby took Shelly and Joshua out of their car seats and placed them on the bed. Abby tickled them and played with their feet until they laughed. Then, Luka came behind Abby and put his arms around her. They sat there together just playing with the babies for about a half hour, until they got hungry. Abby fed them and then they got ready for dinner.
Luka and Abby went downstairs each of them carrying one of the babies. Luka carried Shelly and Abby carried Joshua. They were one of the last ones to get down there, some of Luka’s brothers were there with their families.
Luka embraced each of his brothers and then introduced them to Abby, “Abby, this is Nicholis, and this is Michael. Nicholis, Michael, this is my fiancée, Abby.”
“Hi, nice to meet you,” Abby said as they each hugged her.
“It’s so nice to finally get to meet you, we’ve heard so much about you.” Nicholis said.
“Thanks,” Abby said.
“This is my wife, Julianna, and my son, Gabe, and daughter, Lilly.” Michael said, introducing his family to Abby.
“Nice to meet you, how old are they?” Abby asked Julianna.
“Gabe, is five and Lilly just turned three.” Julianna said.
“Oh, this is my wife Hana, my two sons, Ivan, who is ten and Casper, who is eight, and our daughter, Laura, who is six.” Nicholis said.
“Nice to meet you all.” Abby said.
“Now, you have to introduce us, who are those two beautiful babies?” Hana asked.
“Oh, this is Joshua and that is Shelly, they are almost four months old.” Abby said.
“Congratulations to you, we already congratulated Luka.” Michael said.
“Thank you.” Abby said.
Luka passed Shelly on to his father and he was rocking her back and forth in his arms. He was singing some sort of Croatian lullaby that Abby didn’t understand. Shelly eventually fell asleep in her grandfather’s arms and he put her down in the crib upstairs. “There is a monitor in your room already, here is the other end,” Josip handed it to Abby.
“Thank you, that is very sweet of you.” Abby said.
“For my grandchildren, anything, and for you as well.” Josip said.
Luka carried Joshua when they ate their dinner and he was eventually passed on to Nicholis. Abby had really enjoyed the meal, it was very tasty. After dinner Josip served his famous cheese cake for dessert. When everyone was done eating and on their way home, Luka and Abby finally went back upstairs to get some rest.
“You’re family is so nice,” Abby said, as she put Joshua in his crib.
“Thanks,” Luka said.
“All of your brothers are older than you right?” Abby asked.
“Yes, they are all older than me, I am the baby,” Luka said.
“Ok, well, I’m very tired, I’m going to go to sleep.” Abby said, climbing into bed.
“Ok, good night, I love you, sleep tight,” Luka said cuddling up next to her.
“I will and I love you too.” Abby said.
