It was only a year since Mary Poppins had once again said goodbye to the folks on Cherry Tree Lane and it was also 3 months later since the Lamplighter Jack had proposed to Jane Banks and Jane had said "Yes", of course, Jack remained a Lamplighter but Jane was content with his job and they couldn't have been any more happier and Annabelle, Georgie and John were thrilled to have Jack as an uncle, yes, the Banks life couldnt be more peaceful now. It was in spring when their world would be turned upside down though and nearly divide the family forever. It all started one morning when Jane awoke to the sunlight hitting her face, she turned to her side and found Jack still asleep, she touched his cheek and got out of bed to help Ellen with the cooking since Ellen couldnt get around as much anymore. She put on her clothes for the day and found Annabelle and Georgie already sitting at the table.
"Morning, Aunt Jane." Georgie greeted.
"Good morning, Georgie. Annabelle." Jane greeted back, giving them each a kiss and a hug.
"Are you going to the rally, Aunt Jane?" Annabelle asked.
"As soon as I have breakfast." Jane replied.
"Can I come too?" Annabelle asked hopefully.
"If your father says its alright." Jane said, slipping into the kitchen.
Jane saw Ellen baking some pastries.
"Bout time. You can help with the plates." Ellen said, slipping the pan into the oven.
"Oh, Im sorry, Ellen. Didnt get enough sleep after the protest." Jane apologized, looking frustrated.
"Should say so. Dont you think its time you went to the doctor's?" Ellen asked, wiping off her hands with the apron.
"Wish I could but got the rally to go to." Jane said, turning on the sink.
"I think health is more important than some rally. I'll call the doctor straight away." Ellen said, touching Janes shoulder.
"That isnt really-"
"It could be what you and Jack always wanted."
"You think so?"
"Well, won't know unless you find out."
"And what are you two conversing on about, eh? Woman to woman stuff?" Jack asked, wrapping his arms around Jane.
"Ill just take these out to the table now." Ellen said, taking some already done baked goods out of the kitchen.
"How are you feeling, my love?" Jack asked.
"Fine. Good. Just a little stressed about the rally is all." Jane said, resting her hands on Jacks chest.
"Then maybe I should go in your place-"
"Hmm. Can't picture you with curls and wearing a dress." Jane joked.
"Oh. Very funny." Jack chuckled, kissing Jane.
"Now you go and wash your hands for breakfast." Jane said, going back over to the plates.
"Yes ma'am." Jack said, kissing Janes cheek.
As Jane watched Jack, she really hoped that what she had was truly the thing she and Jack wished for. A child.
