Discrambler-I only own the ER characters in my head.
Please note: I really don't know anything about Croatia. The parts where you think they'd be talking in Croatian they are.
-******Means flashbacks
It had been forever since he walked these hills. Being gone for as long as he had, and somehow walking these green hills it never felt so better, familiar...home. He closed his eyes for a second....
*****"Daddy daddy!" Jasmine was running to him like she was everyday, a daddy's girl. He was just coming home and Jasmine had been waiting for him. To tell him some story she made up about how ponies had come to their small school today, or just something, anything about her day. She jumped up into his arms and kissed him. Luka looked at his daughter, how much he reminded him of Danijella.
"Hey baby! I missed you"
"Me too! Guess what! I have a blue thumb!"
"A what?" and sure enough his wife came walking up to them and corrected Jasmine.
"She means a green thumb, were planting a garden."
Luka quickly kissed his wife on the lips and walked over to the small dug up area. There was Marcco, his three year old son, covered in dirt from head to toe, almost eating the dirt, mistaking it for chocolate. "Marcco don't eat that.." he picked up his son and kissed his dirty forehead getting a mouth full of dirt. "Ugh, thanks Marcco" he set his son down back and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"We're going to grow peppers daddy! And corn and and...what else mommy?"
"Whatever we can get the seeds for"
"Oh" she starts to play paddy-cake with her younger brother. Luka put an arm around his wife pulling her close in, he kissed her forehead and stood there watching his family...*******
For a second he still stood there. Trying to remember the smell of Danijella's hair...yeah like vanilla. And marcco who was always covered in dirt. He smiled remembering all the bathes he gave his son, and then right after he would run out and jump into a puddle, or a mud pile.. anything to tick off his mother. And Jasmine's smart mouth. She was smart and knew it, he thought of all the times he would scold at her for smart mouthing, she would get mad and go to her room. Run away from the problem's...just like her father. But she never stayed mad for long, and Luka couldn't stand it if she was. So in the next hour, Jasmine would be on Luka's lap telling him another made up story, or smart mouthing-again. And all those hours he spent in med school, being a intern, away from his family. His true and only love. Luka wished he could take it all back. Just have another minute with them, any of them. Just one minute. To hear Jasmine's stories. To bathe Marcco or help him make mud piles. On last second to caress Danijella's face and tell her how much he loved her, one last kiss......
Luka shook his head out of his thoughts, he hated thinking like those. He loved the memory of his kids, he thought about them everyday. But, he had spent years thinking of what to say if they could come back just for second, and he couldn't anymore he was over the shock, but it still hurt so much. It was almost unbearable.
"Luka? Luka?"
Luka wiped his eyes and looked up, "Mama!" He smiled and walked up to his mother. And hugged her. She smelt like lamb and cookies, an odd mix but mom was always cooking.
"Oh my let me take a look at you" she pulled held it face and pulled it back. "Look at you! You look just like your father did" she kissed his check and smiled at him. "It's great to see you!" Luka put on a fake smile to please his mother.
"I've missed you too" he smiled and walked back into his mother's house. As he walked in he remembered everything about this house all the times he spent here...
********It was their first Christmas as an official Mr. and Mrs. Kovac. He walked up behind his wife and kissed her check and touched her expanding stomach. They were married just six months ago and they were still living with his mother in the attic. Luka had a special surprise for his wife later, but he knew she was tired now so he let her rest. "Your getting big Danijella" He took a seat next to his wife and smiled.
"I'm not getting big your child is getting big!" she protested. She has been cranky lately, hormonal "just pregnancy stuff" as his brother said. Luka narrowed his eyes at her. He had never seen her like this
"How are you feeling?"
"Good I suppose, but I feel like a house" Danijella leaned against Luka and rested her head on his shoulder, Luka rubbed her shoulders, feeling them relax. "mm that's nice" she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Luka watched her closely, not wanting to move a muscle to wake up his wife and baby.*****
"Luka! I said are you hungry?" Luka looked up at his mom, he had again gotten lost in that trance again. Luka simply shook his head.
"No mom I'm fine thanks, just a little tired a long flight. I think I'm going to go for a walk if that's okay"
Luka's mom nodded and Luka left, began to walk these familiar roads again, feeling nothing but lonely. He sat down in a place he knew no one would find him. He wanted to go back, to that trance. It was like he was reliving it, and somehow that took away all of his loneliness...
******"Luka why can't you just tell me where we are going?"
Luka laughed "Because its a surprise, now come on" he was pulling at her hand and helped her into the car
"No Luka, its Christmas we can't just leave our family they'll never forgive us!" he knew she was secretly happy about getting out but would never admit it.
"It's okay, besides where is your sense of adventure?" he glanced over at her
"Its with my flat stomach, now just please tell me!" Although she had her moments, she was very happy about the baby, they found out together, she was late and he just had a feeling.
Luka looked at Dannijella. Never had she looked more beautiful, more sexy. She has this whole pregnant glow to her and the fact that she was carrying his first kid made him even more happy, he smiled and laughed again "No, now put this on" he handed her a blindfold.
Danijella sighed and reluctantly put it on "I know you feel like you have to romance me but we're married you got me and that's for sure. Plus we are running low on cash and we promised each other we wouldn't get each other anything.." Danijella whined.
"Shh its nothing much compared to what you got me."
"I didn't get you anything" she said confused.
Luka replied by touching her stomach as he pulled up to where he wanted them to be.
"How am I supposed to walk I can't see a thing" she tried.
"Well that means the blindfold his working" He placed the back of her knees on his right forearm and supported her back with his other arm. "
Luka! No don't! What if you drop me?!" she asked worried.
"I won't drop you, your not that much heavier with this baby" Luka kicked the door open and walked up stairs.
"Luka" she laughed and was happy "This is weird, I have no idea where we are going"
"Shh don't worry I got you" he kicked open another door and walked into their new apartment. It was all decorated and furnished. He had done that on his spare time, which had put a dent in his grades. It had a small Christmas tree in the couner which was decorating with popcorn string and an angel on top-she never liked stars always angels. He set her gently on her feet. "Okay just hang on for a second" He adjusted the lighting to be just right, he stood behind her, held her shoulders and put his head beside hers, looked at her, and took off the blindfold and waiting for her expression.
Her dark eyes widened looking at everything and said softly "oh my god! luka" and then smiles and her eyes filled with tears. "Luka! When did you...? How did you..? Luka!" She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, held the back of his head and kissed him. "Luka! We can't afford this"
"You know how we left before the gifts were given out? Well here they are, all of them Merry Christmas, baby"
Tears were flowing out of Danijella's eyes, she was in disbelief, and just stared at her husband instead of the apartment and sighed "Your amazing....incredible. You don't have the time for this" Luka took his wife's hand and showed her around the apartment. The bathroom, the kitchen, both bedrooms, and back down to the living room. They sat on the couch and Luka took his wife in his arms as he leaned back against the arm of the couch with one leg on the floor and the other beside her. Danijella leaned on him.
He put his hands on her stomach and felt his child move, "That baby is moving a lot"
"Yeah, tell me about it" she winced, "Don't girls move more then boys?"
Luka nodded, "You think it's a girl?!" he was excited.
"Just a feeling." Danijella laid his head against his chest. They laid there for the rest of the night, Luka holding his wife and his baby. Danijella fell asleep on Luka's chest. The baby too. This was the happiest he had ever been. He was going to be a father. He glanced at the Christmas tree then back and his wife.
All night he watched her sleep, "Merry Christmas Danijella, Merry Christmas baby..." he said in a whisper. He kissed his love's head then kissed his hand and touched his child........*****
Luka was awaked by the feel of water....it was raining. A Croatian storm. Nothing felt so better, so new, so refreshing. He started to walk back up to his house. His mother would be worried, and he had to greet his sister and brother. It's not that he didn't enjoy them but there was nothing to say to them. They know he didn't want to be there. He thought he didn't want to be there, but for the first time in along time he didn't feel alone. They were with him....all of them.....
