Rakas Päiväkirja,

It's me, Tino. (: I think I lost you a few years ago, Diary. D: I'm sorry. Everything has just been changing so much lately and I wasn't able to keep track of you when I was helping Berwald move and therefore I couldn't update you as much as I've wanted to. I guess I'll just write down what all has happened in the last few years now, I hope that's okei. (:

Well, first things first, this is really important: Lukas and Matthias had a baby. He's the sweetest little thing and clings to Matthias like some kind of little monkey and the little man looks so much like his father it's ridiculous. From what I've seen of those two together, I can tell that the little guy is going to be spoiled rotten by his daddy; Matthias is such a good dad. :D Lukas, on the other hand, didn't seem as excited to see the little bugger as Matthias was; which is a little sad. The little man needs his mama just as much as his daddy. Feil's already two and he comes over sometimes wondering if we know why his mama doesn't visit him much and every time he asks my heart breaks a little.

Another thing I found pretty important to mention was that Berwald and I both moved in together here in Helsinki, he said he was willing to leave Stockholm for me, he's so sweet. We also found out I was expecting a few months ago. I don't think I've ever been so excited in all of my life; I can't wait to be a Mommy! It also turns out we're expecting a little girl; I can't wait to meet her and see what kind of person she grows up to be. It's also going to be great to raise Feil and his little cousin together; they'll have lots of fun together.

Berwald and I spent months debating names, I wanted to name our little sweetie pie something really long and complicated like Omituinen (which is Finnish for 'Quirky') because I knew she would be something special and with parents like Berwald and I she was going to have a lot of cute little quirks. But Berwald didn't like the sound of that name. He said we should keep her name shorter since her surname would be really long, he wanted to name her Eri (which was Finnish for "Different") or to name her Olika (which is Swedish for different); he said it was sort of like a synonym for quirky. I don't like it as much as Omituinen, though! TT3TT After spending what felt like the entirety of the second and third trimesters, we finally agreed that her name would be Omituinen Eri Väinämöinen-Oxenstierna. It feels nice to say that we both got to influence her name a little bit.

I had remembered Lukas saying that labor pain was like hell, but I sort of didn't expect it to feel the way it did. It wasn't as bad as he described it, or maybe Omi was being nicer to me than Feil was to him? I don't know. Berwald and I spent a long night at the hospital and I wasn't allowed to leave again for another two days since the doctors didn't want me moving too much after they cut me open to get little Omi out. She was such a little cutie pie. I was also totally right, she looked just like Berwald. She had his blue-green eyes and that same shade of light blonde hair he has (that blonde hair that I love running my hands though) and she was so quiet, just like he always was. It made taking care of her really easy. I think that she and Hanatamago will get along really well, too.

Ah, Omi's crying for the first time in days. I guess Berwald fell asleep on the couch, so I'll have to get that little sweetie pie now. (:

Love,

Tino


Hola~

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I did this instead of reading the packets that I was supposed to read for History of the Americas, writing my Composition Book entry for Crime and Punishment in English 11 IB, and neglecting to revise my research paper (it's on outcasts in Siddhartha and Things Fall Apart.) Ha, I'm a bad kid.

Anyway, so I think I'm going to rewrite this story and make it better. I'm putting in perspectives from Finland and Sweden, of course, because all stories have many sides (which I've learned from History of the Americas so well). I know very well that the first few chapters of this story sucked balls, so I am rewriting to save face. I know I can write better than that, I did awesome on the writing portion of the PSATs! XD
