Last Chapter || Chapter 19: First Christmas3 months have passed. The twins are now 4 months old so they can grab thing so this means that they put stuff in their mouths. Julia and Barbie made it perfectly clear with Angelina that her stuff cannot stay on the floor. Now that they can eat purée it’s easier; Julia breastfeed them only 2 times a day. Barbie and Angelina can help her to feed them. They also can roll over and they lifted their head off the floor. They grow up so fast. Julia and Barbie invited everybody to come for Christmas. They sent invitation to Sam and Melanie, to Brooke, to Don, to Carolyn, to James Jr and to Norrie and Joe. They all said that they were going to come for the holidays. Some of them are going to sleep at Norrie’s place and the others at Julia’s. Everything was ready; they did the Christmas tree all together and wrapped the little gifts. Now they had to wait until they all arrived. Carolyn, Sam, Melanie and their sons were at Norrie’s and their parents were coming at theirs. Brooke arrived first. Julia was upstairs dressing up the twins in cute outfits. Angelina opened the door and jumped in the arm of her grandma. She was so happy to see her. She only speaks on the phone with her because she doesn’t come often. Brooke kissed her and hugged her; she missed her so much, her little bundle of joy. Barbie came out of the kitchen to say ‘’Hi!’’. She was so happy to be there with them for the first Christmas of the twins. Julia asked Barbie to come pick one of the twins; she didn’t know that her mom was arrived. ‘’I go see her! ‘’ told her mom. ‘’Hey little red head of my heart! ‘’ ‘’Oh my god! I’m happy to see you. I didn’t hear you arrive. ‘’ ‘’How are you handling all this? ‘’ ‘’It’s been good so far. They grow up and changed so fast. ‘’ ‘’I know. ‘’ ‘’They eat now and roll over by themselves.’’ Julia turned around to her mom and hugged her. ‘’I’m so happy to have you with me this Christmas. You’re my gift! ‘’ ‘’Don’t say that, you are my gift baby, I should have never let you go.’’ They both hugged each other and tears felt down their cheeks. Julia took Elliott and Brooke took Henry. They brought them down stairs where their toys are. Angelina sat beside her brothers and played with them while Julia was helping her mom unpacked her things. Don arrived at the same time. ‘’Barbie, honey, your dad is here. ‘’ ‘’Alright I’m coming! ‘’ ‘’Hey Don! ‘’ ‘’Hey Jules, How are you? ‘’ ‘’I’m very good! ‘’ Don gave her kisses on the cheeks. ‘’Good, so where is my son and my grandchildren. ‘’ ‘’The kids are in the living room and Dale is coming in a minute, he’s in the kitchen. ‘’ ‘’Can I help you with anything? ‘’ ‘’Ask that to your son! ‘’ ‘’I’ll do that! ‘’ Angelina recognized her grandfather’s voice, she ran in the house to get to him. She jumped in his arm. Angelina was all smiling; she was happy to have her grandparents here, at her house. She knew that her cousin Charles was coming so as Auntie Melanie, Uncle Sam, Norrie, Joe and Carolyn. Julia tried to calm her down because she had to take a nap before the others arrive. She finally got her to sleep a little bit. Norrie called to tell them that the others had arrived at her place and that they would be there in 1 hour and half. All four of them prepared the last things that needed to be prepared. Julia fed the boys right before everybody was in their house. Angelina woke up at the same time that Norrie opened the door while screaming Merry Christmas everyone. Angelina ran down stairs and Norrie took her in her arm while kissing her little face. Melanie came in with stuff to give to Julia; little boy stuff. Sam came in with Charles asleep on his shoulder. Carolyn brought the wine that Barbie asked her to bring from Zenith and Joe brought the gifts. They all went in the living room. Angelina and Charles were playing together and the twins were in the arms of their grandparents. Barbie and Julia were bringing things to eat and Barbie glasses of wine. ‘’Hey guys look! ‘’ ‘’What? ‘’ ‘’They are under the mistletoe. They have to kiss each other. ‘’ ‘’That’s true! ‘’ Julia laughed and kissed Barbie on his lips. Almost the same kiss that he gave her at their kids’ birth. Everybody saw that they love each other so much. Barbie turned over and told everyone that they were going to get married again in the next year. Everybody congratulated them. They were made to be together. Barbie grabbed Julia’s back and put her close to him and kissed her again. Angelina saw the scene and came to give her parents a huge hug. They took her in their arms and kissed her on every cheek. The kids opened their gifts and everyone gave each other the little things that they prepared. They spend a great time with their friends and their family. What to ask more? The evening went on and the twins were asleep on Joe and Norrie. Angelina was on her mother almost asleep. It was the same thing for Charles who was on Sam. They were all exhausted. They put all four kids in bed; upstairs. They all came back and downstairs and started to tell old stories that were untold until this day. They laughed about almost anything. Everyone was happy to be there and the alcohol was helping them to laugh about everything. They all felt asleep in the living room on each other. Only Brooke and Don didn’t felt asleep. They took picture of them and let them sleep there. They both checked the kids; everyone was still asleep and they went to sleep too. What a night to remember.

Chapter 18: The love Of a Daughter
The twins are now 1 month old. Julia and Barbie have been spending the last month with them. Each other parents came and Carolyn came help them so they could sleep a little bit. With three kids, their arms and head are full of things to think. Julia’s mom and Barbie’s dad took Angelina during the day to do things; they went to the museum, to the amusement park and to the restaurant with her. It was easier for them if Angelina wasn’t home. Not that they like her, it’s more peaceful when she’s not there. Julia and Barbie felt guilty to leave her on the side while they take care of Henry and Elliott but they need their parents and they need to rest a little bit when they can. Julia felt that she needed to spend some time with a big girl so as Barbie. She asked her mom and Don to come home to take care of the twins so they could both go out with Angelina. She needed her parents just like her brother. ‘’Good morning lovely wife! ‘’ ‘’Good morning baby! ‘’ ‘’Are you ready to go out with our first baby? ‘’ ‘’Sure I am. It’s been a long time since we’ve done. It’s going to be so different than having the twins with us; she’s not a baby anymore. ‘’ ‘’No she’s not a baby anymore and I feel like I missed a part of her life. ‘’ ‘’Me too! Let’s go wake her up. ‘’ They both jumped off their bed and raced to Angelina room. When they got in, they both sat on her little bed and started to kiss her everywhere. She woke up and with her little hand she pulled the face of her mom and her dad off of her. They both stopped and looked at her. ‘’Good morning little Angel! ‘’ Julia tickled her and she laughed; her little laugh that makes Barbie smile every time. She was so happy to have her parents for herself; it’s been a while that she haven’t been spending real time with them. ‘’Did you sleep well? ‘’ ‘’Yes, I dreamed mommy! ‘’ ‘’Really! About what? ‘’ ‘’About you and daddy. ‘’ ‘’What were we doing in your dream? ‘’ ‘’You were talking with the people that I can see! ‘’ ‘’What were we saying to them? ‘’ ‘’To let me alone and to go away and they said that they couldn’t go until I told every messages from them. ‘’ ‘’Ok, do you know what message you have to tell? ‘’ ‘’Yes! ‘’ ‘’Do you want to do it on the phone? ‘’ Angelina made a sign with her tiny head that she would do it on the phone. Julia went to get the phone in their room. Angelina said that she had a message for James. Julia called James and passed the phone to Angelina. She told him her message and at the same time Pauline disappeared. She called Joe and Angie disappeared. The only one left was Linda but she doesn’t know to who Linda’s message go. '’There’s only one person left. ‘’ ‘’Who is she? ‘’ ‘’She’s a sheriff. But I don’t to whom her message goes.’’ ‘’Ok, you’ll do it when you’ll know it. Come on, let’s go somewhere all together; anywhere you want to go. ‘’ ‘’Anywhere? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, anywhere honey! We are spending some times with you! That’s what you wanted right?’’ ‘’Yes! I love you! ‘’ These last words made Julia cried. That’s the first time that her daughter tell them that she loves them. Julia hugged her so tight. ‘’So where do you want to go? ‘’ ‘’Can we go to the indoor amusement park? You know the place that I went with Norrie and Joe. ‘’ ‘’Absolutely! I’ll just ask where it is to Norrie and Joe and we are going. ‘’ Angelina was so happy she jumped on her bed and felt on Julia. She took with her little hands Julia’s face and looked to her mother’s eyes. They both starred at each other for a long time. Barbie was on the phone with Norrie; she was giving him the address. When he got back they were still looking into each other eyes. Julia quickly kissed Angelina, which made her laugh. As Angelina was laughing, Julia laughed too. Barbie filmed everything they were both to cute. He promised to himself that one day he will show this video to Angelina. They left home to go where Angelina wanted to go with her parents. She had fun all day long with her parents. At the end of the day, they brought her to the restaurant and to buy a little gift for being such a good daughter and because they love her so much. At the restaurant, they had problem with keeping her awake. She was so tired. She felt asleep on Julia’s lap. Julia woke her up when her plate arrived. She ate and felt right back asleep. ‘’Looks like this little girl had a rough day! ‘’ said the waitress. ‘’Ask her parents, they had a rough one too. ‘’ answered Barbie. ‘’You all look so happy together, I had to tell you! ‘’ concluded the waitress. '’Thank you, we actually have two babies at home who are waiting for us. We are enjoying the time that we have with our oldest one. ‘’ told her Julia. Barbie paid the restaurant bill and Julia took Angelina in her arm. They went to the car. Angelina started to cry because she didn’t want to leave Julia’s arms. ‘’Sweetie, you can’t be in mommy’s arm in the car. You have to let mommy go and I promise that you be in my arm again at home.’’ She cried harder. Without knowing what to do Julia made a sign to Barbie. She was going to sit there and wait until she sleeps real tight. ‘’Do we really need to go home tonight? ‘’ ‘’What do you mean? ‘’ ‘’I mean, we could go at the hotel that is two blocks away. We could park the car there and you could walk with Angie. ‘’ ‘’Let’s do this. Just call your father, tell him that we will be back in the morning, maybe around 10am. ‘’ ‘’Alright, I’ll call him in the car. ‘’ ‘’Good, I’m going to start walking towards the hotel.’’ Barbie helped Julia to stand up. She replaced Angelina in her arm and started to walk towards the hotel. Barbie went to the car; called his dad, asked him if everything was ok with the boys and told him that they were going to be back tomorrow morning because they were exhausted. Julia arrived at the hotel and rent a room for one night only, for two adults and one kid. Everything was alright, Barbie arrived; Julia gave him the keys and went in their room. Julia put Angelina on the bed and lay beside her. Barbie went to the bathroom and as soon as he got back, they were both asleep. So he took the second bed. He kissed Julia and whispered in her ears, ‘’Like mother, like daughter! ‘’ Chapter 17: Welcome in our lives They arrived at the Chicago Children Hospital. Nurse took take of Julia; they brought her in a room. Barbie went to the head office to register her. When he got back in the room with her, one of the babies was almost born, the head was out. Barbie held Julia’s hand and helped her with her breathing. ‘’ Almost there Mrs. Shumway! Keep breathing and push! ‘’ said one of the nurse. ‘’Alright, we got him! ‘’ They heard a cry and saw the first baby. The nurse asked the name of the baby. Julia said that it was going to be Henry. Right after she said the name she felt the second baby coming. It wasn’t long; a couple minutes later the second baby was born. He was definitely an Elliott. They placed him on Julia’s chest and Henry in the arms of Barbie. ‘’You did well Mrs. Shumway. It wasn’t you first?’’ ‘’No they are my second and my third one. ‘’ ‘’Are they going to be the last one? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, I think so but we never know. ‘’ ‘’Great, well they are healthy and have ten toe and ten fingers. ‘’ ‘’That’s perfect to me. ‘’ ‘’You can now relax and recharge you batteries! ‘’ ‘’Thanks! ‘’ ‘’We did it baby, I love you so much, ‘’ ‘’I love you too Mr. Barbara! ‘’ ‘’We’re finally five. Can you believe it? ‘’ ‘’I know that’s amazing. Can you give me the pyjamas that ma mom gave us? ‘’ ‘’The ones with letters on it? ‘’ ‘’Yes, these two! We’ll put them in, otherwise it will be hard. They are the same. ‘’ ‘’Totally agree! ‘’ Barbie got closer to her and kissed her like never before. He couldn’t believe that she was his wife and mother of his three kids. He would never have thought that 3 years ago; that he would get married and have kids that soon. ‘’Could you give me your phone? I want to call my mom. ‘’ ‘’Yeah, sure! ‘’ ‘’Hi mom! ‘’ ‘’Jules! How are you doing? ‘’ ‘’I’m good and I want to tell you that you have two grandsons healthy and everything! ‘’ ‘’When did it happen? ‘’ ‘’I just got back to my room and the nurse came to tell us that they are perfectly healthy.’’ ‘’I’m so happy for you and Dale honey. ‘’ ‘’I’ll send you a picture later. They are going to wear the pyjamas that you gave us. ‘’ ‘’Awe, they are going to be so cute. Take care of yourself Jules. I’ll come visit you next week, my baby. ‘’ ‘’That’s great thanks mom! ‘’ Julia gave the phone to Barbie and he called his father to tell him the news. He was so excited; just like a kid. ‘’Hi! ‘’ ‘’Dad, we got them!’’ ‘’You got what? ‘’ ‘’My boys! They are born. Julia and the two little guys are doing just fine! ‘’ ‘’Wow, what a news! Angelina is now my only granddaughter. ‘’ ‘’Yes, you have now three grandsons, Melanie’s son –Charles- and the two of Julia and me – Henry and Elliott. ’’ ‘’Take care of you family Dale, I suppose that Julia’s mother is coming next week. ‘’ ‘’Yeah! ‘’ ‘’I’ll come the week after. Is it alright with both of you? ‘’ ‘’Totally! ‘’ Two nurses brought in their sons. Julia took on in her arms and Barbie the other. They both had to look at their hospital bracelet to see which one were Henry and Elliott. They laughed when they saw that they were doing the same thing. They will have to adapt this situation; find a trick to know which one is Henry and the other is Elliott. Norrie arrived in the room with Angelina. She was so happy to be a big sister. Norrie help her to sit on the bed of Julia. Julia told her how to place her little arm so she could hold her little brother –Elliott. Julia placed him in her arm and took care of security of the head. Angelina was so happy to be a big sister now. ‘’Once again Julia, they are perfect. ‘’ ‘’Thanks Norrie! ‘’ ‘’Promise me that you’ll tell me you secret to have perfect babies when I’ll be there! ‘’ ‘’I will. But I think that there’s a big part that you can’t have. ‘’ She looked over to Barbie and smiled. Norrie laughed when she discovered what Julia was talking about. Joe came in at the same time. Julia and Barbie asked him if he wanted to be the godfather of Henry. He said yes without hesitation. They also said that that Carolyn will be the godmother of Elliott. Julia breastfeed her sons for the first time ever. She didn’t do that with Angelina. That was a weird feeling. But she felt so close to her sons. It’s incredible what the body can make. They dressed them up after. Barbie let Joe put the pyjama on Henry. It’s hard when it’s the first time that you do it. Barbie laughed quietly. ‘’Barbie, that’s not funny. Help him! ‘’ said Julia with a big smile and laughing. ‘’I think that we will need to change the godfather Jules. This won’t do it! ‘’ ‘’You two aren’t funny... ‘’ ‘’We are joking, Barbie will help you. With practice you’ll be able to do it and I’m sure that you’ll be good at it and you’ll love it! ‘’ Julia took Henry for the first time in her arm and Barbie took Elliott. ‘’Hi baby Henry! How are you doing? You mister have beautiful eyes. You’re going to make a lot of little girls cry you know that. ‘’ Julia kissed him on his tiny forehead. Chapter 16: New beginnings
They stayed at Don’s house for two days; until everything was back to normal. Julia felt more in security there. Barbie and her talked about moving out and go to Chicago. Barbie thought that it would be too hard on her because she’s 7 months pregnant but she insisted to move before the boys will be born. Julia had a doctor appointment and she asked to have the sex of the babies and it is two little guy. Barbie made her promised that she will do anything while they move; no boxes, no moving anything heavy or anything else. She will take care of Angelina while everyone help them. They both look on the internet for a house in Chicago. They look so many houses; they will need to go there to check them. Barbie doesn’t want Julia to come with him but he doesn’t have the choice, she has to come. They took a flight for Chicago and left Angelina to Carolyn. They will be gone 3 days. They got there and visited 4 houses in 2 days. The last day was for deciding which one was the right one for a family of 5 persons. ‘’I thought the first one was too little to be 5, like 2 adults and 3 young kids. Don’t you think?’’ asked Julia. ‘’Yeah, I like the third one. There’s enough space in the backyard and 3 bedrooms. The kitchen is alright for 5…’’ remarked Barbie. ‘’The master bedroom is big, I love this about it and there enough place for the kids to play downstairs. The living room is great. ‘’ said Julia. ‘’We are near from the city and schools. ‘’ told Barbie while watching where the house is in a map. ‘’I think that we have a winner. ‘’ said Julia with a smile. ‘’What to go see it a last time to be sure? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, sure why not! ‘’ ‘’Alright, I’ll call the real estate agent. They both went to see the houses with the real estate agent. They checked it for the last time. They were sure of their choice so they signed all the paper that needed to be sign for it. Julia called Norrie to tell her that Barbie and she just bought a house in Chicago and that they were moving in next week. Barbie called his dad to tell him the same news and to talk to his daughter. ……………….. Back home, in Zenith, Barbie took the week off to be home and packed everything. He sent Julia to her mother house, just to make sure that she won’t touch anything. She was spending the week with her mother and her daughter. Barbie asked James Jr. and Sam to come help him with everything. Joe, Norrie and Carolyn were in Chicago to unpack the boxes. As soon as everything was finished, Barbie called Julia to tell her that everything was finished and that they were leaving for Chicago in the evening. Julia’s mother asked them if they wanted to eat at her house before leaving. Julia accepted her invitation and told Barbie to come over. Barbie locked the doors and watched his old house for a last time. So many memories are in this house; like the birth of Angelina and their wedding, but he’s sure that there will be even more good memories in Chicago. He got to Brooke’s house, Angelina ran towards him to hug her father. Julia was inside, watching Angelina from the living room. Barbie took his daughter in his arms and kissed her; he missed her so much. He got in to see is wife and Brooke. Everything was good, dinner was served. They all ate their plates, the food was good. After dinner Julia hugged her mother and said to her goodbye. Brooke kissed her granddaughter and gave her a gift. It was a stuffed animal shaped like an owl. It has pink eyes and blue/green feathers. Brooke told her before letting her go ‘’Hold it real tight when you are sad and think of me. I’ll think of you too little angel. I’ll come visit you soon, in your new house. ‘’ She also gave two gift bag to Julia and Barbie for their like guys to come. They already chose the names; it’s going to be Henry and Elliott Shumway-Barbara, both names were written on the bags. In the bags there was a little pyjamas one with and H and the other with an E. It was so cute and perfect. They will wear it every day. They took a plane to go to Chicago. Both were excited to start all over again in a new city and they were also a little bit scared. In less than two months their arms will be full; three kids and new routine, new works, new stuff, new friends. Everything will be different. When they landed in Chicago, Barbie took Angelina with him and Julia followed him. Carolyn, Joe and Norrie were waiting for them. They brought their car and told them that everything was set in their new house. No need hotel room, they will get to sleep at their new home in Chicago. The three of them came home and went to sleep right way. ………… Barbie found a new job as a security guard. Julia got back to her old job, but she’s on maternity leave for the moment. Angelina has a new kindergarten and it seems to go well. Julia wishes that the twins will be born before her due date. These two will be born at the Chicago Children Hospital; they already visited the place and everything is set for them. Norrie and Joe come often to see them because their apartment is not far from them. Angelina loves to spend time with these two. They bring her to the museum and to the park. They are like big brother and big sister for her. Hopefully she’ll be a great big sister too. ‘’Look at her Barbie! She’s so cute and happy; even happier than in Zenith. ‘’ ‘’It was worth the change, Jules! ‘’ ‘’now all we need is these two little guy and our lives will be completed.’’ ‘’Speaking of our lives, I want to asked you something more officially Mrs. Barbara.’’ ‘’What? ‘’ ‘’Will you marry me again; more officially; in a church with our children beside us? ‘’ ‘’Are you serious? ‘’ ‘’Totally! We got married in a hurry. We could plan it, invited your mother and my father this time.’’ ‘’Yes, I am to marry you again Mr. Barbara.’’ Barbie got down on one knee and gave Julia a new ring. Tears felt on her cheeks; she grabbed Barbie’s face and kissed him. ‘’But first let’s have our boys! Like now!! ‘’ ‘’Really? Julia? ‘’ ‘’I’m more than serious, let’s go! ‘’ ‘’We are ready for you boys; Henry and Elliott Shumway-Barbara. ‘’ Barbie asked Norrie to come and babysits Angie while they go to the hospital. She was excited and she and Joe came to their house. Barbie and Julia left for the Chicago Children Hospital. Julia called there while Barbie was driving to tell them that they were coming in. 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. Chapter 14: Lost Messages
Julia’s first trimester has been very well; no morning sickness or anything else. Barbie and her didn’t tell Angelina about the news, they will tell her today. They are ready that she’s going to be crazy. The other Angelina asked her mommy if she will have brothers or sisters because Clara has siblings. Clara is a little girl; who goes to the same kindergarten and has the same age. Julia asked Angie if she wanted to have some siblings or it was just a question like that. It wasn’t just a question; Angelina wanted to have siblings so she could have friends to play with at home. As soon as Julia knew that, she felt less pressure on her shoulder; she knew that Angelina will be crazy happy to know that she will have siblings. Julia came home that day and Angelina was playing in the living room and Barbie was watching a movie. When he saw his wife in the driveway, he went outside to kiss her. ‘’Do you think that it’s the right time to tell her? ‘’ questioned Julia. ‘’Are you ready to hear her scream all around and have a huge hug and kisses on the bump? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, I am. It won’t be very different maybe the part of kissing in the bump. ‘’ Julia laughed. ‘’So, what are we waiting for? Let’s go! ‘’ They both came in; Julia took her winter jacket off and her boots. Barbie asked Angelina to sit on the floor or on the couch; they wanted her to sit down so she would listen to them. He also asked her to put all her toys down; nothing in her hands that could do damage to Julia or the baby. Julia came in the living room. She joints her husband and daughter on the couch. ‘’Angie, you have to listen to what mommy and daddy are going to tell you; alright? No kicking, no running all round; you stay calm! You have to be very calm; otherwise mommy won’t tell you what I have to tell you. Do you understand? ‘’ ‘’Yes! ‘’ ‘’Even after mommy is finished you stay calm; alright baby? ‘’ ‘’Yes! ‘’ ‘’Do you remember the other day when you asked me if you were going to have siblings? I’m sure you remember. I want to tell you that you are officially going to become a big sister. Mommy has babies in her tummy. I have two babies in my belly. Are you happy? That’s what you wanted?’’ Angelina jumped on her feet and ran on Julia. She hugged her and whispered in her ears. ‘’Is it true mommy? ‘’ Julia answered her that it’s totally true. She dropped the pillow that was in front of her and lifted her shirt a little bit. She has a tiny bump. She’s only 2 months pregnant but of two so she was a little bump that Angie could see. As soon as Angie saw her pregnant belly she kissed it; a nice baby kissed, those are the best one. Julia was smiling from ears to ears, Barbie too. He came and sat beside Julia and kissed her on the lips. They were one big happy family and they will be even happier when the babies will be there. …………… Julia is now 5 months pregnant. She woke up that morning because of an unusual sound. She look in the bed, Barbie was there beside her. She went to see in the room of Angelina. She wasn’t there. Where is she? She walked fast back to her room and woke up Barbie. ‘’Babe, Angelina isn’t in her room and I heard a weird sound! ‘’ Barbie suddenly woke up and ran downstairs to see if she wasn’t hurt at the bottom of the stairs. They both know that that Angie needs their help to go downstairs. She’s only 2 years and half old; she walks in her own but the stairs are hard for her. She wasn’t downstairs; where could she possibly be? Barbie screamed ‘’Julia, she’s not here or at least she not hurt downstairs. ‘’ Julia came downstairs too; she had check the 1st floor and she wasn’t there. They both looked all around in the house; no signs of her. Julia started to cry because of the hormones. ‘’We have to find her Barbie! She couldn’t go far! ‘’ Barbie told Julia to stay there. He checked all windows and doors. That’s when he saw her; in the garden. ‘’Julia, I found her; she’s outside. ‘’ Julia ran to the back door –even if she’s 5 months pregnant. She saw her daughter, got down on her knee. It’s freezing outside; what is she doing outside on her own at 8am. She hugged Angie so tight and kissed her. ‘’I thought that u had lost you my baby girl. Are you ok? What are you doing outside? ‘’ ‘’I’m ok, mommy, I’m not alone out here. ‘’ ‘’What are you saying honey? ‘’ ‘’I followed them. They told me that I had to come here. ‘’ ‘’Who? Where are they? ‘’ ‘’You can’t see them but they see you. ‘’ ‘’Who are they? Do you know them? Do they know me and your daddy? ‘’ Angelina was watching at the big tree that is in their backyard. Julia looked all around her. What is she seeing? Is it what the Sparklers have told them 2 years ago in Chester’s Mills? ‘’They say that you know them very well. ‘’ ‘’Who is it honey? How do they know mommy? ‘’ ‘’They say that you used to live with them. ‘’ ‘’How many people are here baby? ‘’ ‘’6! 5 women and 1 man. ‘’ ‘’BARBIE!! You need to come here and fast! ‘’ ‘’What? Is she alright? ‘’ ‘’She sees person. I think that it’s the big thing that she need to do that the Sparklers have told us 2 years ago; remember in Chester’s Mills. I think I know who they are!!! ‘’ ‘’Who? ‘’ ‘’She said that there’s 5 women and 1 man, so it could be Linda, Angie, Alice, Rebecca, Pauline and Peter.’’ ‘’Yes, this is who they are. You can see them mommy? ‘’No I can’t see them! ‘’ ‘’What are they telling you? ‘’ ‘‘That I have to help them. ‘’ ‘’Help them to do what? ‘’ ‘’To tell messages to their love on that are here with us. ‘’ Julia got mad. ‘’Even if I know who you all are, it doesn’t mean that you can use my daughter to pass messages on. Alright? ‘’ ‘’But mommy, they got a messages to tell you. Julia was crying beside her daughter. ‘’What is it? Who as a message for mommy? ‘’ ‘’The man and two of the woman; he says that he’s happy that you found love again and that you have a beautiful family…’’ She turned into Barbie’s arm and cried. ‘’…and the girl are saying that she’s happy that you named me after her and the other is saying that science and biology are a wonderful thing on you mommy.’’ ‘’Peter, Angie and Rebecca; we missed you a lot; all of you! Suddenly, Angelina turned to her mommy and got close to her. She held her so close and Julia cried. All three of them in the backyard at 8am on a spring morning; talking to people who are not there. ‘’They disappeared! ‘’ ‘’Come here baby! ‘’ ‘’Let’s go inside or you’ll be sick! ‘’ ‘’Good idea! ‘’ Barbie helped Julia to stand up and he took Angelina in his arm. She felt asleep on him the minute after. Julia kissed her on the forehead; Barbie did the same thing on Julia’s forehead. They all came in the house and sat in the living room. Julia and Barbie watched their daughter sleep on Barbie. They stayed there until she woke up 1 hour later. When she woke up, Barbie gave her to Julia and he went in the kitchen to prepare the breakfast for all of them. This is too much emotion in one morning. When he got back in the living room, he found his wife with her big belly and her daughter on her lap, all asleep. The breakfast will have to wait. He took a picture of them with his phone; this was so cute. Chapter 13: Aroma Mocha
Today Julia is meeting her ‘mother’ at the coffee shop called the Aroma Mocha in Zenith. Barbie and she used to go there all the time; but since Angelina is in their life they don’t go there often. She said to Brooke Smith that she would be there around 10am. She got there; sat at a table and waited for her to arrive. She looked to her watch and it was 10:05am. Brooke Smith was in her car next to the door. She hesitated to send a message to Julia saying that she wasn’t going to make it. In her mirror she’s looking to her green eyes and blond hair to make sure that everything will be perfect. It’s the first time in 35 years that she will meet face to face with her daughter. She got out of the car and at the same time Julia looked outside and saw her. She knew that it was Brooke because of her curly blond hair; the same curls as Julia. Julia stood up and made a sign to the waitress that she would be right back. She went outside the coffee shop to meet her mother. ‘’Are you Brooke Smith? ‘’ ‘’Yes, I am! ‘’ She had tears in her eyes. ‘’You must be Julia Shumway, my little girl! ‘’ ‘’I suppose that I am. I’m so glad to finally meet you. Just to let you know I’m not mad at you. ‘’ ‘’OH, I’m so happy to hear this from you; I thought that you would be mad at me because I abandoned you baby. ‘’ ‘’If I had a baby that young I would have freak out also. Come sit inside, we’ll talk more! ‘’ Julia and her mother came in and sat at the table where Julia was waiting before. They both order something hot to drink; of course no coffee for Julia. Julia ordered a hot chocolate with whipped cream and Brooke ordered a Cappuccino. They talked about Brooke’s life and then after Brooke asked question about Julia’s life. ‘’Enough of me, let’s talk about you! What’s going on in your life? I saw your name on the editor building; so you’re an editor! ‘’ ‘’Yeah, this is all new for me because I’m a former journalist but after the dome I became an editor… ‘’ ‘’… right you were stocked under the dome. You lived in Chester’s Mills. ‘’ ‘’Yeah, I used to live there with Peter, my ex-husband. Now I have a house outside of Zenith with a man named Dale Barbara, who is my husband now. ‘’ ‘’What happen with Peter? ‘’ ‘’It’s a long story; let’s just say that he was killed under the dome. ‘’ ‘’Oh sorry; but you said that you’re married to a guy named Dale Barbara now. ‘’ ‘’Yes, we got married 6 months after the dome disappear. I met him under the dome; it was quick but I felt in love with him and he felt in love with me. We were meant to be together. ‘’ ‘’What does he do for living? ‘’ ‘’He’s a firefighter now but he used to be in the army. He went in Afghanistan with the US Army before the dome. He’s from Zenith. ‘’ ‘’Interesting, you got yourself a nice guy honey. Do you plan on having kids or no? ‘’ ‘’Actually, we have a daughter together. Her name is Angelina Shumway-Barbara and she just turned 2, last week. ‘’ ‘’Wow, that’s wonderful. You two didn’t last a minute. ‘’ ‘’Actually she was a surprise. We didn’t know that I was pregnant. ‘’ ‘’Are you planning to have more? I’m sure that you are a wonderful mother for her. ‘’ ‘’Yeah, we are planning on having more kids.’’ ‘’Kids? How many kids do you want to have? ‘’ ‘’We were going on two but life have decided another way for us. ‘’ ‘’Are you…..? ‘’ ‘’Yes, I am. I’m pregnant of twins; we found out last week. We are in heaven right now. We didn’t told Angie but she will be as xcited as we are when she’ll know that she’s going to be a big sister soon. ‘’ Brooke got up and came hugged her daughter. She couldn’t be happier for her and her husband. Julia looked so happy and so good looking. She couldn’t believe that the woman that was standing in front of her was her daughter. Julia got her phone out of her pocket; she showed her mother some picture of their wedding and honeymoon and after some pictures of Angelina. ‘’Dale knows that I’m meeting you today; you are more than welcome to come home today to meet Dale and Angie, if you want. ‘’ ‘’I would be pleased to go meet the other person who are sharing your life. I want to tell you that I am so proud of you my darling. You are strong and so different than me. I hope the best for you now and I want to be a part of your life now. I’m here for you my baby Julia! ‘’ ‘’Stop that you are going to make me cry, mom! ‘’ Brooke insisted on paying both drinks. After, they both got into their car and Brooke followed Julia to her house. When they arrived, Brooked couldn’t believe how pretty the house of her daughter was. Everything was at the right place. They both got out of their car. ‘’Before going in, I just want to let you know that the nickname of Dale is Barbie. I don’t call him Dale; like ever. ‘’ ‘’Good that you told me now! ‘’ They both come in. Angelina ran towards her mommy; Julia kissed her. ‘’I want to present to you Angelina; my daughter or your granddaughter.’’ Brooke’s eyes became all teary. Angelina was so prefect; her blue eyes and her red curly hair, just like her mother. ‘’Angie, this is mommy’s mother, your grandmother. Don’t be shy honey! Where’s daddy baby? ‘’ Barbie showed up at the end of the hallway. ‘’Hi, I’m Dale Barbara but you can call me Barbie. I’m Julia’s husband and father of this little angel and the two others right there. ‘’ Barbie kissed Julia and also kissed her little stomach. He was so pleased to me Julia’s mother. ‘’Welcome to our house Mrs. Smith! ‘’ ‘’Please call me Brook! You have a beautiful daughter; she’s perfect; the two others will be as perfect as she is.’’ ‘’We hope so, I’m doing my best. ‘’ ‘’Do you know if they are identical or not? ‘’ ‘’Yeah we know and there are identical. So it’s maybe two boys or two girls. We don’t really care if it’s boys or girls. We just want to have two healthy babies. ‘’ ‘’Are you staying for diner Brooke? ‘’ ‘’If there’s enough food; why not? ‘’ Barbie made diner. Julia made her mom a tour of the propriety and talked in the living room while playing with Angie who wasn’t shy after 30 minutes. She was running in the house like she always does and screaming all around. Brooke was so happy to see that her daughter has found a good husband and has a beautiful family. All around there’s picture of their friends and their family. They all ate and Brooke left them to their little sleep routine for Angie. She promised to Julia just before leaving that she’ll stopped by at least 1 or 2 times a week. She really wants to be in her life now. ‘’Take care of yourself Jules; don’t be too hard on you. We’ll see each other soon! ‘’ Chapter 12: unknown mysteries
Julia finished her day at work, even if everything was weird. She closed her computer and the manuscript that she’s working on right now. She went she her assistant Clara to tell her that she was about to leave. She took her jacket and her scarf; she went in her car. She sat there for a minute thinking about this call from this Brooke Smith. She never knew her mother’s name; how could it be true? Now that her dad has passed away, nobody will tell her. She started her car and drove to Angelina’s kindergarten. She parked in the parking lot in front of the door; got out of her car and went in to get her little princess. ‘’Hi Mrs. Shumway! ‘’ ‘’Hi, how are you? How has it been with my little Angie today? ‘’ ‘’Everything went very well. She’s growing up so fast. I saw her when you came visit the place; she was a baby and now she’s not a baby anymore. ‘’ ‘’Oh no, she’s not a baby anymore. She run and begins to talk; we can’t stop her. Can I go see her? ‘’ ‘’Sure go get her, I’ll prepare her stuff. ‘’ ‘’Great thank you! ‘’ Julia walked towards her daughter; she’s sit on the floor playing all by herself, just like she do at home. ‘’Hey honey, are you coming home with mommy? We are going to see daddy. ‘’ She turned around and hugged her mommy so tight; Julia knows that her daughter miss her a lot when she’s at work. ‘’I know that you missed me, baby; I missed you to. Now come on, we are going home. ‘’ Julia got up and took Angelina in her arm. She sits her on the table near her stuff; she put her pink jacket on and her little boots. ‘’Will she be here tomorrow? ‘’ ‘’Maybe, we’ll see tomorrow. Thanks again! You say ‘bye’ honey? ‘’ She put her in the car and drove back home. When Barbie heard Julia’s car in the garage, he stopped everything he was doing to go see his wife and his precious daughter. ‘’Hey beautiful girls! How was your day honey? ‘’ ‘’It was weird but I’ll explain it to you later; when she’ll be sleeping. What are we eating tonight? ‘’ ‘’I made something that you both like. I made pesto pasta! ‘’ ‘’Sounds and smells good too. ‘’ They ate all together, Barbie helped Angelina to eat and Julia washed the dishes. When Angelina was done, Barbie took her up to give her a bath before putting her to bed. Soon as his daughter was asleep he went down to see Julia. She explained to him the call that she had on her voice message recorder. ‘’I had a mysterious call yesterday at my office. ‘’ ‘’From who? ‘’ ‘’A woman named Brooke Smith! ‘’ ‘’And is she supposed to be? ‘’ ‘’She said the she’s my mother. Why is she calling me now; after all these years? ‘’ ‘’Your mother? But she abandoned you at birth, right? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, she did. ‘’ ‘’Did she left a phone number to call back? What was her message? ‘’ ‘’No she didn’t leave her phone number. She said that she saw my name on the building and that she felt very proud of what I have become. She wished that I was happy and that I have a beautiful family that I take good care of. The message was very sweet; but so not at the right timing. ‘’ ‘’At least it was a cute message. Don’t you think? ‘’ ‘’Yeah, I don’t really know what to do with it! What would you do? ‘’ ‘’I don’t know. If she calls back and you’re at the office and you answer it; what would you say to her? ‘’ ‘’I don’t know; she never been there for me. She never called or came to see me. She only know my name because she the one who gave it to me when I was born; it’s the only thing I know about her. ‘’ ‘’I can understand that this could be stressful but I remember that we have a test to do tonight. ‘’ ‘’Yes, this is true! ‘’ ‘’Let’s do it right now! ‘’ Barbie and Julia got in the bathroom to do her pregnancy test. They were both wait for several minutes in each other arms. 2 minutes later, Julia took the test in her hand; kissed Barbie before checking for the result. She looked at the test and she started to cry. The test was positive; she was pregnant. For the last 18 months, they’ve been trying and now it worked. They will have another baby in 9 months. ………………………. Julia is back from her doctor appointment. She had a wonderful new to tell to Barbie. She is pregnant of twins. So they will have two babies; it was so unreal for both of them. So they will be 5 in the family. She also had another call from her mother. This time she was telling her that she was living in Zenith and that when Julia will be ready for it, she would like to meet her and the person that are in her life; she regrets everything that she did all these years ago. Julia talked to Barbie about it and he was fine with meeting her mother. Everything would be different with her mother back in her life. Julia called her back. Julia wanted to meet her alone before asking her to come at her house. She planned to meet her next week in a coffee shop in Zenith. This will be interesting. Chapter 11: Time flies and things from the past come back
One year and half have passed since the meeting with the Sparklers woman. Nothing weird has happen since then; no more pink veins or eyes, she’s growing up normally, walking on her own, almost talking but something didn’t happen. Julia didn’t get pregnant. They tried and tried again and still never got pregnant. Julia started to believe that what the lady said was true. What if she didn’t get pregnant ever? Angelina is turning 2 years old today. Julia and Barbie invited all their close friends to come and celebrate. They all bought Angelina present; nothing to say, this baby girl is loved. As her godmother, Norrie bought her a stuffed animal; it’s an elephant that she bought when she went to LA to get her stuffed and see her friends. The elephant is gray with blue eyes; eyes just like Angie. As for Sam he bought her crayons and drawing things; she’s a smart kid. The others bought her clothes, toys and other fun thing that two years old could like. Her grandpa, Don, bought her books; he knows that she loves reading and look to pictures. Julia and Barbie didn’t buy her anything; they were going to wait until everybody gave her their present to see what to buy her. As their first born, she has everything she needs around her. Julia wanted to give her a brother or a sister; but no luck, she’s still not pregnant. Barbie ordered a cake from the cake factory with a princess on it; with red hair and blue eyes. The birthday went well, she didn’t slept during the day so she was so tired after diner that Julia put her in the nursery and felt asleep right away; no crying or anything else. The others stayed for coffee and talking. In one year and half a lot of things can happen. Sam and Melanie are living together as a couple even if she’s younger than him; there was a time in their life where they were the same age. Sam and Melanie announced that she was pregnant with their first child and that they married in secret. The news shocked –in a good way- everybody; they were so happy for them. Norrie announced that she and Joe were moving away. She has been accepted to at the Art Institute of Chicago, so as Joe. They rent an apartment there and they were happy to be beginning a new life. James Jr. found a job in Zenith as a firefighter. The others knew that Julia and Barbie were trying to conceive a sibling for Angelina. They asked them if it was working or if they stopped trying for a while or if they changed their mind because they didn’t heard about it in a long time. Barbie tried to explain them the situation and give them answers about it. ‘’We are still trying. It’s hard for both of us to try and try and try again and to realize that it’s working. We keep the faith that someday it will work and that Angie will have a sibling soon or later. Julia is now going back to work; she got a job in a book editing company and I got a job at the same fire station where James works. That means that Angelina will go to the kindergarten near Julia’s office. ‘’ ‘’Yeah, that’s the plan. I’m a devastated every time that I take a pregnancy test and that it’s negative. We said that we won’t rush thing, but I really want to get pregnant soon. ‘’ All of them looked over the couple and were so sorry for asking those questions to them. They all know that they love Angelina so much. The fact that they are both going back to work and that they are taking their baby girl to kindergarten looks like they lose hope about having a bigger family. They changed subject and they talked about their new job and projects; how about life will be different with Joe and Norrie in Chicago; far from them. Norrie promise Julia that she would come to time a months to see her goddaughter because she will miss her so much. They also talked about the news that Sam and Melanie announced before. At the end, they all left because they were exhausted; having a baby around was hard on them. Before leaving, Norrie went upstairs to kiss her goddaughter. ‘’I’m going to miss you so much. Darling, don’t you ever grow up, just stay this little. ‘’ Julia came in the nursery at the same time. ‘’She is going to miss you as well. We’ll try to come see you in Chicago; I miss this city. ‘’ Norrie hugged Julia and said goodbye to her. Julia went into her bedroom; Barbie was already there. ‘’Why don’t we try tonight? I have a good feeling about tonight! ‘’ ‘’You what to know something weird? I have a good feeling to about tonight. ‘’ ‘’Is it the right time of the month or not? ‘’ ‘’Let me think!!! ‘’ Julia count in her head. ‘’Yes, it is! We are right on time! ‘’ ‘’Alright, so come here you beautiful girl of my life. ‘’ Barbie pulled his shirt off and pulled Julia’s shirt off too. They closed the door and Barbie pushed her on the bed. He kissed her and hugged her. She pulled his pants off as she was the doing the same thing with hers. ……… ‘’Do you think that it worked, last night? ‘’ ‘’I don’t really no, I hope so. We’ll have to wait a couple days before knowing it. ‘’ ‘’Alright, I’m already stressed to know. I have to go to work now. Do you want me to take Angie to the kindergarten today? ‘’ ‘’If you want to; I will take her after my work. ‘’ Barbie stepped out of the bed; put his uniform on and was about to go get Angie when Julia stopped him. ‘’Kiss me before you leave baby. I love you! ‘’ ‘’I love you too baby! Have a good day at work; try not to think about last night. ‘’ He got Angie and brought her to Julia so she could kiss her daughter before they both leave. Two hours after Barbie, she left for work, she got to her office. She has 4 missed call and 3 messages on her voice mail; all three we’re the same one; all three it was a woman. ‘’Hi Julia! I saw your name on a website. I know that you’re going to be pissed at me but trust me it’s the truth. I’m your mother Julia. I know that I left you with your dad when you were born and that he never talked about me. You don’t have to call me back. I hope you did well in life. I’m happy that you go where you are right now. Love Brooke Smith. ’’ Chapter 10: What’s going on in here?
Since Julia and Barbie came back from their honeymoon, they felt that Angelina was different than before. She was crying when her mommy talked to her and didn’t want to be in Barbie’s arm. Julia was worried. What if something happen and Don didn’t tell them? What if she was sick? One morning, Julia went to get her because she was crying. She talked to her; try to calm her down; but it was even worse. Julia brought her downstairs gave her to Barbie and went outside; on the porch, alone. She doesn’t know what to do; she felt like she wasn’t her mother anymore. Barbie dropped Angie on the floor near her toys. He went to see if Julia was ok; because that was hard on her. ‘’Jules; she will be ok? ‘’ ‘’I feel like I’m not her mother anymore. I feel like a stranger to her. ‘’ ‘’That’s not true. She knows who you are. You’ll always be her mommy. ‘’ ‘’She doesn’t recognized my voice, Barbie!!!! ‘’ ‘’That’s not true, she does. Come here! ‘’ He kissed Julia; hugged her and placed her hair properly. They went back inside. Julia went beside her to kiss her on her little baby head. She looked over to her little girl; that’s when she saw it. Her veins were all pink/purple and her eyes weren’t blue/gray anymore, they were pink/purple as well. What going on in here? Julia freaked out; she screamed. Barbie ran into the living room; where Julia was with the baby. He saw the same thing that Julia saw. ‘’It’s the same thing that you had when you were pregnant? What does it means? What should we do? ‘’ ‘’I maybe have an idea. Let’s bring her where everything began for her; under the dome or Chester’s Mills. ‘’ ‘’ And what will happen there? ‘’ ‘’Maybe we will have answers. ‘’ ‘’Alright, let’s do that! ‘’ Julia took her daughter in her arm got her in the car with her car seat and the three of them drove to Chester’s Mills. They went where Joe and Norrie found the mini dome a while ago. Nothing. Nothing happened. No changes, she didn’t move. She was in Julia’s arm. Barbie proposed to Julia to put Angel down; on the ground. Her eyes changed color, they became pink. Julia and Barbie got closer to her to protect her. They both touched her back. They saw something, or somebody walking towards them. Who is it? Everybody that they both knew back then; had left Chester’s Mills. Julia was scared for her daughter; she would regret all her life it if anything happens to her. As the shape got closer they could see that it was a woman. They don’t know her but she seems to know their daughter. She got closer to Angelina; Julia wrapped her arms around her daughter. ‘’Don’t you dare touching to her. You better stay where you are! ‘’ ‘’I won’t touched her Mrs. Julia Shumway. Hi, Mr. Dale Barbara! ‘’ ‘’How do you know us? ‘’asked Barbie. ‘’We were there? ‘’ said the strangers. ‘’When and where; it’s freaking me out? ‘’ told Julia all worried. ‘’We were there when she was conceived! ‘’ ‘’That’s a little weird; don’t you think? Isn’t that supposed to be intimate? ‘’ said Julia. ‘’We gave you a little push? ‘’ ‘’You gave me a little push for what? Tell us! ‘’ ‘’To you to get pregnant, Mrs. Shumway! ‘’ ‘’I didn’t your help. As far as I am concern, Barbie did everything and we were alone. I can’t believe what you are saying. ‘’ ‘’He doesn’t, we can tell you. That’s the truth. ‘’ ‘’But she’s my daughter after all, right? ‘’ ‘’She’s definitely is. Your daughter has been chosen to change a lot of thing. She will do big thing.’’ ‘’Big thing; like what? ‘’ asked Julia. ‘’She will be very helpful with the people who had escape the dome and will be a big part of your life; both of you will need to support her all the way. ‘’Trust us; we will! ‘’ told Barbie. ‘’I doesn’t doubt this; you all look so happy and united. Big changes will come between the three of you, be prepared. ‘’ ‘’We will; after the dome nothing scares us anymore.’’ said Julia. ‘’Barbie, take care of our monarch and protect your little girl for us. Julia, be strong because you’ll need strength to get through all the events to come. And you, baby Angelina, be good to you parents; we’ll always be there for you even if you can’t see us. She won’t have changed anymore no more pink eyes or pink veins. That was our communication plan to get to you. Now that everything is said, I can go. If you ever need to reach us, come here and look to the sky and ask for the Sparklers. ‘’ ‘’Thanks; I have one more question for you before you leave! ‘’ ‘’ Go ahead Julia! ‘’ ‘’If I ever get pregnant again, will the baby will be affected like she was? ‘’ ‘’We won’t be interfering in your lives anymore. You can be sure of that! ‘’ ‘’Thank you! We appreciated it a lot. ‘’ She got down on her knees and talked to Angelina. ‘’Now be good to you parents. They seem to love you very much. Don’t be afraid anymore, they love you more than anything in the world and the way that your mother was talking; you won’t be alone for a long time.’’ The woman looked over to Julia a blink one eyes to her. She stood up on her feet and began to walk away from them. Barbie took his daughter in his arm and kissed Julia. ‘’Let’s go back home baby! ‘’ ‘’We had answers and you had yours about having more children. ‘’ ‘’Oh yes; I did. Tell me that you are ready to be pregnant again! ‘’ ‘’Maybe not tonight because today have been full of emotion; but yes I think that I am ready to have a bigger family now. ‘’ ‘’We won’t rush thing; we will try and try until it works. ‘’ ‘’I’m sure you will do everything for it to work. Come on let’s get her to bed. ‘’ ‘’You want to hold her? ‘’ ‘’No I’ll go sleep with her at home; you carry her home; I’ll drive. ‘’ They drove home; Julia went to bed with her daughter. Barbie sat in the chair next to them; he looked over his girls and smiled. They looked so peaceful and he knew that Julia was happy to know that her daughter is fine. |
