"Season 6 - How I Imagine"

Chapter Two

CHICAGO...

-A few weeks ago I told my boss, that I know I made good work in the past 3 years and now I have a plan. Our office is so big here in Chicago, that we can get through the frontiers of this city... And because it was my plan, my first proposition was Providence. They said, that because I have connections with that powerful city I can go there and start a new office by myself with the help of Chicago. They discussed with the managment and they said OK, so I said OK and right now they're sending me back to Providence!

-You're not kidding...

-I'm not kidding...

-You're not kidding!...-laughed Syd.

-No, I'm not kidding Honey!-laughed Owen.

-So we're moving back???

-Yes we are...-Owens' heart was so happy, finally his little Syd was smiling.

-Owen, I love you so much!-Syd didn't felt so happy since their wedding and honeymoon. She embraced Owen so tight that he almost couldn't breath, but he didn't mind it, just locked her into his strong arms. "Our life is going to be right from now"-he thought.

-But, tell me something... Chicago wasn't that bad after all, right?-Owen worried a bit of their past life.

-No, it wasn't at all, but Providence will be better...

-I know...-smiled Owen.

-You know, I had read something in a newspaper a week ago... It was about ideal cities for families... They wrote about Providence, it said that it's a wonderful place for f-a-m-i-l-i-e-s, if you know what I mean...

-Yeees... You mean you want a little baby...

-Aha... Exactly...

-I want a little baby too, but right now I cannot make you any babies, 'cause my brain can't get enough oxygen...-laughed Owen.

-Ouu sorry Honey,-laughed Sydney as she losened her grip on Owens' neck-, better?

-Yes... I'll take back the control over my mind, just a minute...-he joked again.-So, now that I'm right, why don't we make a little baby?

-Hmmm... Not a bad idea, after all...-smiled Syd in a very attarctive way.

-Hope you know, that this smile always drives me wild...-whispered Owen.

-Oh, yes I know...-murmured Syd and kissed him...

MEANWHILE IN PROVIDENCE...

Jim was drinking his tea in the afternoon, the sun was shining, it was a happy day...

Then the phone was ringing...

-Hello, Hansen-house...-he answered.

-Jim, oh Jim...-it was a crying women voice.

-Rebecca? Is that you? What happend?!-Rebecca was the wife of Jims' younger brother, Joseph... He haven't seen them for a long time now.

-Jim... He's dead... Dead!...

-Who?!!!

-Joseph! Your brother! He's dead! It was a heart attack...

-Oh, my God...-then the phone-line broked...

FEW HOURS LATER...

Joanie arrived, it wasn't a bad day after all... She stepped into the kitchen, Jim and Hannah was there... They watched old black and white pictures...

-It's me and my brother...-said Jim.

-You look really handsome, Pap.-told Hannah.-Don't worry about him... He's now in a better place, everything is gonna be allright...

Jim cannot believed what the little Hannah said.

-You're a very smart little girl, Hannah.-smiled Jim.

-Hannah? Go to your room for a few minutes, Mommy and Pap need to talk a little bit.

-OK... Whatever you want...

-Just a few more years and she will grow up.-said Jim.

-Yes, I think you're right... Dad. Who's now in a better place?

-Joanie, my brother, Joseph died a few hours ago...

-Oh, my God, Dad. I'm so sorry... I didn't know him, but I know he was an excellent man.

-Yes he was... It's sad, that just Syd met him from the three of yours, and she was quiet small tough... I didn't seen him for 7 years now...

-Dad, what can I do for you?

-Nothing, Jo, nothing... Just be there for me.

-Dad, I'll always be there for you, just as much as Syd and Rob are there for you...

THE NEXT EVENING...

It rained...

Jim was still dizzy with the thought of his brother, but somebody was standing at his door, and this shaked him from his remebrance...

-I'm coming!

He opened the door what revealed a scared, wet and crying young girl for him.

-Sofia?! What are you doing here? Come in, you're going to be ill!

-Jim, I couldn't take my mother anymore, dad was the only thing I could hold on to!-said the girl, she held a letter tightly.-She wrote this, but you don't have to read it, I did it alredy...

-We're going to make you dry, then you tell me everything, OK?

-OK... Jim! I'm so glad I'm finally here!-she cried out as she embraced him...

-Okay, okay... Lets go to the house...

Sofia was the only and very late child of Rebecca and Joseph... She loved Jim and his familiy but had a very starnge relationship with her own family, especially with her mother. They traveled all around the world, again and again, so she never had a normal life. But when they came to visit Jims' family she spended most of her time with the much older Hansen-kids. Her mother was an alcoholic once and her father wasn't a determinative character. She needed to patronize her own parents. That's why she needed to grow up too early... Her best friends were Syd and Robbie Hansen.

-I said to mother: "Please write a letter to Jim and let me go, I want to go to him!" She had a hard crackup after dad...-she started to cry again...

-I know what happened...-he said as he cradeled her.

-She's now in some kind of an institution... Jim... She's (and me too) asking you for something... Please... Can I move to Providence for a while? I love this place and I miss all of you so much! I just need a little rest and a normal family-life... Please...

The thought crossed Jims' mind... "My children had almost left the 'family-house', and we have already an empty room... I miss my 'father-life' and I must do this for my brother and for Sofia..."

-Well, how many luggages have you? Syds' room will be perfect for you...

-Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! Jim I'm so honored! Thank you sooooooo much!!!

-OK, OK... I'll show you your room and then we'll have dinner, right?

-Absoluetley perfect!-she was the happiest human on earth... She found a real family finally...

-Joanie is about to come home, I think...

-Really? Where are the others?

-Well, you know, my wife died 8 years ago...

-Sorry...

-Thank you... Syd moved home from L.A. and opened a clinic...

-Oh, yes... Saint-Syd...-smiled Sofia.

-You're right... Rob is married with two children...

-My lil' Robbie is married???? With two children??? I cannot believe you!

-Long story... I'll tell you later.-smiled Jim.-Joanie is trying to be a good mother (she is one), and after Syd spended 5 years with seeking for the right man, she found one, married with him and moved to Chicago...

-Oh no!!!

-Oh yes, and I'm very sad about this...

-She's married? Wohoo! Many things happened!...

-You're right...

Joanie arrived with Hannah, they greeted the new member of their family and spend an evening together... After Hannah falled asleep, Joanie went to bed... Sofia was standing in the door way...

-Joanie?

-Yes?

-You know, I took this thing very hard, can I sleep with you tonight?

-Of course, come in... I know what you're feeling...

-Thank you very much...

-Oh, it's nothing! C'mon!

-I know that we weren't as close to each other as I was with Rob and Syd but from now I hope we will...

-I hope it too...-smiled Joanie.-Welcome in our Hansen-family!...

Nobody thoughts what a big surprise will come after a few days from Chicago!
