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. ’’
