only two chapters left after this... so enjoy.


Chapter 11

You only start to appreciate the little precious things in life when you had to live without them. They never really stand out before. They're there but you just don't think about them.

You get up in the morning and leave the house. On your way to work you get greetings from your neighbors and friends that cross your way. The kids are playing and laughing around you and in the middle of all of it is your wife that laughs just as hearty as your kids. It's music to your ears.

These all and even more are normal moments in your life.

But what if they're suddenly gone? When your wife doesn't get up in the mornings anymore and doesn't leave the house? When no one greets you anymore because everyone is scared to say something wrong? When your kids suddenly stop laughing, your wife stops laughing, you stop laughing?

That exactly is the moment we realize how important those little precious things in life really are.

Many people who experienced the loss of those things never get them back. But there are also people that are lucky to get those moments in life back. And one of those people was Luke.

He experienced all of it but now he was sitting in a empty room and around him where his wife and kids who were happily singing and laughing while they were painting the wall. In the past Luke would've never thought that this exact moment would someday mean so much to him. Of course he had always loved it when his wife or kids were laughing but it was normal and he didn't think much about it.

Luke put the screwdriver away and looked at his Family. Lorelai had her hair in two braids on each side of her head and wore a really pink pair of dungarees in which you could see her pregnant belly even more. Beside her the kids, also dressed in pink or blue pair of dungarees, and together they were painting the wall in a light pink color.

Luke had insisted that they'll let the window open the whole time because the fumes wouldn't be good for the baby or the kids. Actually he wanted to renovate the room alone but Lorelai and the kids couldn't be stopped from helping him decorate the room for the new baby.

And so he was now sitting on the floor in the middle of the room and was putting the crib together.

"Done! Look Daddy, I'm done" Leo suddenly yelled and pointed proudly at the part of the wall he had painted while he joyfully looked at Luke with his with pink paint sprinkled face. At the next moment Linnea turned around as well.

"I'm done too, daddy. Look." She also beamed proudly and had her face covered in pink paint. Luke got up and walked over to the two of them and took them in his arms.

"You did that great, kids" He with that he gave each of them a kiss on the forehead.

Lorelai who had painted the upper part of the wall that the kids couldn't reach was now standing with her arms crossed in front of them.

"I have in this condition" she pointed at her belly "painted this whooooooole upper part" she pointed at the wall she had painted "and you" she pointed at the kids "get his" she pointed at Luke "whole attention. That's unfair. Big Mommy here wants some attention, too" She crossed her arms again and started to pout at Luke. He couldn't hood back a laugh at the look of his wife. Like the kids she was also over and over covered in dabs of paint.

"What's there to laugh about? Did nobody tell you that you don't laugh about a pregnant woman, Luke? Especially not when she is suffering under attention withdrawal from her husband. That could hurt her feel-" But she didn't get any further because Luke stood up, put his arms around her and silenced her with a long passionate kiss. At first Lorelai was totally confused because she didn't see it coming but then when she was ok again she knew just the perfect plan for revenge for the lack of attention Luke had given her. She put her left hand around Lukes neck and pulled him more to her to deepen the kiss more while she let the index finger of her right hand slowly slide over the still wet wall. She deepened the kiss even more to distract Luke long enough. Lorelai took her finger away from the wall and moved it over to Lukes face. While he was still totally distracted by their kiss Lorelai started to paint a heart on his cheek. Slowly Lorelai broke the kiss and looked deep into Lukes eyes for a moment but then her gaze went over to his cheek and she burst out laughing. Luke who didn't realize any of it just looked at her confused. When the kids started to laugh as well he had enough.

"What the hell is suddenly so funny?" Linnea and Leo stopped laughing and looked at their father but still with a big grin on their faces.

"Mommy painted a heart on your cheek" Linnea explained to him

"In piiiiiiiiink" Leo added.

"And you were soo distracted by your sexy wife that you didn't even realize it" Lorelai finished and all three started to laugh again.

Luke rolled his eyes and had to smile himself. His little crazy family.

"Enough with the fun now. We better continue or we'll never get done" Lorelai stopped laughing and looked at her kids.

"Ohoho, Kids, daddy thinks he is the boss now. But who has the power over the paint and the walls?"

"WE!" Linnea and Leo yelled at the same time and threw their little arms in the air. Lorelai did the same.

"Exactly. So are we going to listen to daddy?"

"NO!" they yelled at the same time again. Lorelai dropped her arms

„Yes."

"huh?" that confused the kids now and o they looked accordingly at their mother.

"Well, he is right. We have to get done. So, go , go back to work. We want this room to be done when little Lil will be born" the kids nodded and ran back to the wall next to the door and which they where allowed to paint whatever they wanted to paint for their little sister.

Luke who was already sitting next to the half done crib again was laughing at the happenings around him. It was nice to see them so happy again.

Lorelai sat down on the floor next to Luke and watched him while he finished building the crib. When he was done she cuddled up to him and he put his arms around her and together they watched the lids painting the wall in different colors and at this moment they were both thinking at the same person.
