Chapter 15: Insecurities
At the fire station, Barbie and James Jr are talking about everything that is happening in town since a little while. Everybody seems to be going crazy; fires, gunshot, bomb alert and more. Barbie is kind of nervous of the next event. He doesn’t feel safe in this town anymore; he grown up there all is life and now is not sure if he wants to raise his children here. Every morning he checks on Julia to see if she’s healthy and if she feels good, after he goes in Angelina’s room to check on her. During the day, when he’s not home, he calls home three times a day to check on them. It’s not normal to check that much on the one that he loves. The thing that is stressed him is that they can’t move now, it’s too hard on Julia. She’s 7 months pregnant now; she needs all her energy so moving out is way too hard on her right now. He doesn’t know where they would go if they need to move out but he knows that Julia misses Chicago, they could move there plus Joe and Norrie are there. He knows that he will need to talk to her about this situation. That night when he got back home, Julia was reading in their bedroom. She’s glowing with her big bump. ‘’Hey you three! ‘’ Julia smiled to him; he kissed her back and kissed her growing baby bump. ‘’How was your day? ‘’ ‘’Good but I missed you a lot! ‘’ ‘’I know, you called like 3 times today. I will tell you again, we are fine and Angelina is more than good. She did some drawing all day; I don’t know where to put them anymore. I don’t where she got her artistic side; totally not from me! Is it from you Mr. Barbara? ‘’ ‘’Not me nether, I’m a mess. Maybe from Pauline! She’s the only one who was artistic. ‘’ ‘’Do you think that she’s with her? ‘’ ‘’It’s a possibility I guess. ‘’ ‘’Well at least she does nothing wrong. After all she’s a mom too! ‘’ ‘’How was your day with the twins? ‘’ ‘’It was very active. It’s very different then the first time. They are two, so less space; more kicking and moving. But it was very good. ‘’ ‘’I was thinking; do we, I mean do you want to know the sex now? ‘’ ‘’I wanted to asked you the same thing. I’m getting closer to my due date and we don’t know the sex. I know that we wanted to keep it a surprise but I feel like I’m not ready to welcome them in our world if I don’t if it’s boys or girls. Do you feel the same? ‘’ ‘’I kind of do feel the same way. ‘’ ‘’Let’s found out tomorrow at my doctor appointment. Oh and want to know something, Melanie and Sam son’s is now sleeping 6 hours in the night. She called this morning to tell me that.’’ ‘’Wow, that’s a great news!’’ Barbie whispered something after. ‘’At least they moved before everything went crazy here. ‘’ ‘’What did you just say? ‘’ ‘’Nothing, I’ll tell you soon! Let’s go to sleep now, I bet that you are tired because I am. ‘’ '’I am exhausted. ‘’ Barbie helped Julia to get up and go into their bed. He put his pyjamas on and he got beside Julia. Both hands on her belly, she guessed if it was boys or girls. ‘’I feel like its boys this time but I don’t know why. ‘’ Barbie smiled, for him it will be the greatest gift in the world to have boys. He would have two girls and two little guys in his life but if it is two little girl he would be happy too. Julia turned on the side, her back on Barbie’s chest; he placed one of his hands on Julia’s stomach and they both felt asleep. In the night, he had a bad feeling about something but he doesn’t know what. He woke up at 4am; he checked Julia and everything seemed good. He laid there in silence, to hear everything in their house; nothing, everybody was asleep. Suddenly he heard something outside and he saw a bright light. He got up and looked by the window. It’s a fire; one of their neighbors house was on fire. He woke up Julia. ‘’Julia, there’s a fire outside, honey! I think that it’s the Leamy’s! I go see if everyone is ok. Stay here, I’ll wake up Angelina and asked her to come with you. ‘’ He kissed her and ran to Angelina’s room; he took in his arm and brought her to Julia. ‘’ Be careful Barbie, I need you! ‘’ ‘’I will, trust me! ‘’ Barbie got dress and ran to the fire. He met the guys from the fire station there. James Jr explained to him that the fire is criminal because they got a call at 911 a couple minutes ago saying that something would burn down tonight. ‘’You should go back home to be with Julia. Stay the one that you love Barbie! Protect them… NOW! ‘’ ‘’Alright, I’ll go back home, come find me if you need help alright. ‘’ ‘’That’s all good! Take care of them!!! ‘’ ‘’Everybody is ok babe? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, for now! ‘’ ‘’I have to tell you something very important. ‘’ ‘’What, tell me honey? ‘’ ‘’I don’t feel safe here anymore. Everybody is crazy out here. I hope you’re not mad at me but I want to move from this city.’’ ‘’God, that sounds good into my ears right now. I thought about this all day long! ‘’ ‘’I would really want to go back to Chicago. ‘’ ‘’We will baby, but I don’t want you to do any boxes, I’ll asked Carolyn, Joe, Norrie, my dad and your mother to come here to help with everything. Am I clear Mrs. Julia Shumway-Barbara? You don’t touch anything. ‘’ ‘’Yes, yes, yes! I will do everything that you are saying Mr. Barbara. ‘’ ‘’For tonight, we will go at my dad’s house. We will be safer there. Do you need something? ‘’ ‘’I don’t think so, I’ll bring nothing after all it’s you father. Can you prepare a little bag for Angie? I’ll wake her up. ‘’ ‘’Alright, leaving in 15 minutes! ‘’ While preparing the bag of Angelina, Barbie called his dad to tell him that Julia, Angie and he were coming to his house right now. He asked why and Barbie told him that there was a fire in their neighborhood and Julia wasn’t safe in their home anymore. Julia succeeded to wake up their daughter who was sleeping so peacefully next to her. Barbie came to take her in his arm to bring her in the car and gave Julia the tiny bag that he made for Angelina. Julia closed all the light inside and locked the doors. She went in the car with Barbie and Angelina; she was crying in her car seat because her mommy woke her up; Julia told her that she could sleep in the car while they were going to Don’s house. As soon as they arrived, Don opened the lights outside. Barbie didn’t wake up Angie, he just took her in his arm but he woke up Julia; she felt asleep beside him. Don came out and helped Barbie with the bag and Julia. ‘’We are very sorry to wake you up in the night, but I’m glad that you don’t live on the other side of the USA. ‘’ Said Julia to Don. She was so happy to have him in her life.
