Chapter 8
He kissed her. On the cheek, but he still kissed her. Doc had just kissed the woman I love. As the image replayed in my mind, I didn't pay attention to Popuri's request to have me hold David. "Hmm?"
"Jack, for the millionth time, I asked you whether you wanted to hold David!" I quickly nodded, and took him in my arms. He looked so small, sleeping peacefully, not knowing of the torture he put his mother through for 7 hours. A boy. A son. I've always wondered what it would be like to have a son. What it would be like to get married, and raise a bunch of kids. I looked at Elli who stood by the window. It was a nice thought.
But it probably won't come true.
Everyone had someone to love. Cliff had Ann, Kai had Popuri, and Gray had Mary. Seeing the dazed look on Rick's face, I can assume that he and Karen are going to be just fine. Now.....Doc has finally had the guts to ask Elli on a date, and she...accepted. After pushing him for so long, Doc finally asked her out and I realize how much she means to me.
I looked at David, sleeping without a care in the world. His life is just beginning. I wish I could redo everything. I wish I could have told Elli how much I love her. How I finally realized I was in love with her.
But it's too late. He got there first.
I walked towards the window with David in tow, and nudged Elli by the shoulder. She quickly turned around, her short auburn hair whipping around her face. Her eyes slightly moist and filled with....... sorrow? Why isn't....shouldn't she be happy? Happy that she has a boyfriend? Well...maybe he isn't her boyfriend....but he kissed her! On the cheek....but she let him kiss her! That has to mean something! It's only one date...right? Does she..is she in love with him? When she held my face in her hands, I thought I saw love. I for a moment, I thought she really she loved me. I guess I was wrong.
"Yes Jack?" She spoke softly, her voice bringing me back to reality. She looked up at me, her almond eyes gazing into my own. I remember when she held my face in her hands, her eyes looking into mine. In those eyes, I thought I saw love. I for a moment, I thought she really she loved me. I guess I was wrong.
"Um.......do you want to hold David?" She looked at the sleeping infant, and gave a nod of her head. I tentatively placed the child in her arms, afraid of accidentally dropping him. I took a few steps back and looked on with awe, at the sight of Elli holding David in her arms.
As she held him close, I could picture spending the rest of my life with her. I could imagine waking up beside her every morning, kissing her goodbye when she had to work at the clinic, feeling our child move inside her, having many more and watching them grow. The room became silent, as I moved towards them, stroking the child's head with my blistered hand. I gently kissed his forehead, and looked up at Elli, keeping my gaze on her, until I felt David stirring from his sleep.
Elli quickly brought the child to his grandmother, his eyes gazing at the sea of faces that surrounded him. Rick was grabbing Popuri's stuff once more, as Kai helped his wife up on her feet. Doc instantly began to admonish Kai that Popuri shouldn't be on her feet for a few more hours, while Popuri silenced him by saying she wanted to go home. Kai and Popuri made their way out of the bedroom, with Rick and Lilia following after them.
As they passed the rosewood dining table, Popuri sank to the floor, still weak from being in labor. Kai swept her into his arms, and carried her towards their home on the beach. Kai had expanded his beach house to accommodate his expanding family, when they moved back to Mineral Town. Last Summer, Popuri ran away with Kai to his home in Seaside Village, 12 hours south of Mineral Town. They came back the following Winter, and were married at the local church.
On the rosewood dining table, laid the music box. I picked up the tiny blue package, and made my way into the bedroom. Mary and Ann were dragging their husbands back to their homes, while Doc finished packing up his tools. They said their goodbyes as they made their way out the door.
As Doc exited the bedroom, he told Elli he'd take her out for dinner at 6 p.m. She glanced at me nervously, while Doc gave me a thumbs up, implying that he succeeded in asking Elli for a date. I wanted to wipe the smirk on his face by punching his lights out, but I settled for giving him a pat on the back for a job well done.
With the slam of the front door, Elli and I were alone. She quickly took the bloodstained sheets from my bed, muttering that she'd have them clean by tomorrow. Stuffing the present in the side pocket of my jeans, I took the bloodied sheets and threw them into the wastebasket.
"Elli, we need to talk." I took her hand, her long smooth fingers intertwined with my work roughed ones. She nodded silently, as I led her outside. The sun rose slowly, as tendrils of mist enveloped us in the cold. We stopped in front of the tree, the fallen branch still lying in the snow. I turned to face her, as she blurted out an apology.
"Jack, I'm sorry for what I did! I should have never-"
"Merry Christmas Elli." I said, silencing her with a kiss.
