Lyn, This is a very sweet Christmas episode . But I was particularly moved by Abby's attitude at the church. Her inner thoughts about Luka's faith show how much she underdstands all he has been through. Without words, just because she spent a whole year listening to him, learning to know all the little signs he gave her about his past. And the ring has nothing to do with marriage, (nobody cares), it's just a very strong and beautiful commitment between two lovers who want to spend the rest of their life together. You still surprise me so much, Larue, with all the different sides of your talent.

Abby shifted slightly and looked up from the medical journal she had balanced on her knees. She was stretched on the couch, her back against the arm rest cushion and her feet pressed against Luka’s thigh. He was staring intently at the television screen, one hand wrapped around her toes, absently massaging them through her wool slipper socks with his fingers. The other arm cradled a sleeping Joe. She smiled a little as she watched him. Luka was the picture of contentment. Maybe they both were.
Days like this didn’t come along very often in their busy life. It was blowing snow outside. She could see the storm through the open blinds in the windows. She’d put chicken in the oven to roast and the smell of it was making her hungry. Neither of them had to be anywhere. Neither of them had anything that needed to be done. It was nice. Just a quiet day at home together.
She slipped her glasses up onto her head and dropped the journal on the coffee table. Luka turned his head to look at her and shifted the baby in his arm. She grinned and sat up, leaning forward place a hand on his cheek.
“Want me to take him off your hands?” she asked. Luka shrugged and looked down at the sleeping baby.
“He’s okay,” he said softly. Abby chuckled.
“And you’ll be saying that when he insists on being held all the time when he sleeps?” Luka grinned.
“You think I’m spoiling him?” he asked in mock concern.
“Think it?” she chuckled quietly. “ I know it!” Luka nodded and hugged the baby close for a brief second as she stood up and lifted him from his lap. Abby sighed and crooned softly as she carried the slumbering Joe up the stairs to his nursery. She settled him in his crib, tucked a soft blanket around him and caressed his cheek with a smile before heading back downstairs to the sofa.
She nestled close to him again and Luka wrapped an arm around her as they both watched the movie on the tv screen for a moment. His hand slipped off her shoulder and crept carefully under her arm to her full breast. A smiled snaked across her lips and she pretended to be watching the movie. Luka’s lips slipped to her ear and she finally chuckled. She turned to look at him and he raised an eyebrow hopefully. “Down, boy,” she sighed. “Dinner is almost ready.”
“It can wait,” he breathed as his lips sought the smooth skin of her neck.
“It can but I’m not sure that I can,” she complained as he pressed her back onto the sofa. “I’m like....really hungry here.”
“How hungry, are you?” he asked as his lips trailed soft kisses down the clean skin of her throat to the open lines of her v neck sweater and the rise of her breasts there.
“Oh geez......” she sighed breathlessly and threaded her fingers into his dark hair holding him closer. “Maybe not too......” Luka chuckled and lifted his face to her’s. He grinned rakishly and fiddled with the snap on her jeans. Her fingers untied the drawstring of his sweats and his smile widened as she shifted underneath him. He reached for the couch cushions and flipped them over the back.
“I knew there was a reason for buying this couch,” he said as he slipped his hands up inside her sweater. “More room.” Abby giggled and ran her hands under his tee shirt.
“We do have a bed up the stairs.....” she said. Luka shook his head.
“Don’t want to climb them right now....” he breathed. He straightened and tore the tee shirt off and then grinned at her. Abby lifted her hands to his face and then to the back of his neck. She drew him down again and shook her head as they kissed. No, they really didn’t have days like this very often.
Much later, she lifted the top to the roasting pan and grinned happily. Their dinner was definitely salvageable. She filled two plates and carried them to the table where Luka was checking his email on his laptop. He didn’t look up as she set the plates on the table and she frowned. He was staring at the screen intently. She moved closer and kissed his still shower damp hair.
“Is everything okay?” she asked. Luka shrugged.
“My brother is getting a little demanding about when we are going to come,” he sighed and sat back in his chair. “He says he is worried about my father and he needs to actually see me about it.” Abby frowned. “Is everything okay with your dad?” she asked as she sat down in the chair next to him. Luka shut the laptop and set it aside. He moved the dinner plate in front of him and checked it over carefully.
“Wow,” he said approvingly. “Maybe you should over cook your dinner dishes all the time?”
“Shut up!” She punched him playfully and Luka groaned as he rubbed his shoulder. She grinned and he leaned over to kiss her. She watched as he took a bite of the lemon chicken and then smiled as his eyes widened and he nodded. She filled her fork and lifted to her mouth just as the baby monitor on the coffee table began to wail. She dropped the fork to her plate in frustration.
“You know what?” she sighed as she set a napkin next to her plate. “Between the two of you, I am never going to get anything to eat today. Be right back...” Abby shook her head and Luka chuckled as he watched her head up the stairs. He was smiling as he ate and listened to the two of them through the monitor. Abby was changing a diaper and talking to Joe. Luka could hear him and he grinned. He had such an infectious giggle. Abby could get it out of him faster than anyone.
Luka was ready when she finally came down the stairs with the baby in her arms. She handed Joe to him and headed for the kitchen. She came back with a jar of baby peaches and Joe’s spoon. She sat down at the table, opened the jar and pushed it in front of Luka.
“Everybody happy now?” she asked. “Can I eat?” Luka looked down at a solemn Joe who had a finger in his mouth. The little boy grinned up at him and Luka shrugged with a smile.
“Guess so....” he said. Abby rolled her eyes and lifted her fork again. She watched as Luka spooned peaches into Joe’s mouth and her eyes twinkled. He was such a sucker for their son. How could she have ever had any doubts about them being able to do this? Watching the two of them together actually made her heart swell in her chest.
“So I am just not sure when I want you to see Croatia for the first time,” Luka said. “If it’s winter it won’t be too much different from here. In the spring, it’s beautiful and the summer......” Luka shook his head and wiped a dribble of peaches from Joe’s chin.
“But if your brother is needing help with your Dad...” Abby said quietly. “Does it really matter?” Luka shook his head and grimaced.
“Andro sometimes over reacts to things,” he said. “Now, if it were Zoran that said he was worried, it would be a different story.” Abby frowned a little. Sometimes she had trouble keeping his family straight. “Andro is the engineer....Zoran is the teacher?” Luka said as she noticed her confusion. Abby nodded and took another bite of her dinner.
“It’s been so long....” Luka sighed. “I am afraid I won’t even recognize my niece and nephews. I don’t think they are going to be begging me to bring toys to them any more.” He frowned a little wistfully and kissed the top of Joe’s head. Abby gazed at him for a long moment. She couldn’t imagine what he must be feeling. His family was so different from her’s. Sometimes she didn’t see Maggie or Eric for years. They kept in touch but not seeing one another hadn’t really mattered. Her grandparents were gone and her aunts. From what she had gathered over the past year, Luka had a huge family compared to her.....two brothers, sisters in law, a niece and two nephews, cousins....she couldn’t imagine it. Abby reached over and gently squeezed his forearm..
“Maybe we should go soon,” she said. Luka lifted his eyes to her’s and studied her face.
“Do you really think so?” he asked. Abby nodded.
“Yeah...” she said softly. “It’s time.” Luka reached up and cupped his hand to her cheek. She smiled and pressed a kiss to his palm. He grinned and jostled the baby in his arm.
“Hey, Joe....” he said. “Think you’re ready to ride an airplane?” The little boy looked up at him and then at his mother. A wide toothless grin split his face and he laughed. Luka grinned and kissed the top of his head.
