"We're glad your okay, Aunt Ria" Frederic told his aunt in broken English. Her arm was in a sling and she was still complaining of headaches, but overall she had recovered.
None of them had wanted to go back to the apartment. Carter had graciously offered to let them stay in his grandmother's house until they could find somewhere else. Ria had been loath to impose, but she realized the apartment was a traumatic place for the kids so she'd agreed. It was her first day home, and the first time she'd been to Carter's grandmothers.
"Holy shmoleys!" she whistled as Luka pushed the door open. Luka took her directly upstairs and made her lay down.
"I'm fine, Luka" she kept telling him but he was taking no chances.
"Ah, I see you're back" Carter entered the room behind the kids.
"How're you feeling?"
"Well enough, thank you. John, it's really so kind of you to let us stay"
"No problem. Let me know if there's anything else I can do" Carter replied and left. Caroline smiled at her aunt and then followed Carter, with Frederic not far behind. Ailleen was asleep in a crib next to the bed. Ria lowered herself into the pillows. Luka brushed a finger across her cheek, back and forth, back and forth.
"What're you doing?" Ria asked, already half asleep.
"Helping you sleep" Luka whispered back, and then he began to sing.
"Silent night....holy night....all is calm.....all is bright....."
