Where we left off last chapter:
Flashback: The door to the shop opened, and I grinned, realizing it was Roux. It had been two weeks since the fire, and I was steadily more in love with him everyday. But he looked at me with such sad eyes, I knew something was wrong.
'Vi, I just came to tell you that I'm leaving.' Roux said, looking at me with hurt eyes.
I just looked at him, too shocked to say anything. He quietly walked out, and I just stood there until I realized that he was gone. I cried for almost three days straight. But after that, I realized I was going to have to toughen up, or I wouldn't survive.
I sniffled, and said to Anouk, "Go to sleep now, dear."
"Yes, mama." She rolled over, but I could tell she wasn't asleep. Tears were rolling down my cheeks, and I thought she was crying too. I cried my self to sleep, and I rose early the next morning. The baby was doing acrobats, and I couldn't sleep. I went to the kitchen, still in my robe, and made myself some hot chocolate. I sipped it carefully, planning what had to be done that day. I had to make some fresh batches of chocolate, and I was always making hot chocolate.
Josephine came down the stairs after I had been up for about an hour.
"You're up early this morning." She commented, and got busy with helping in the kitchen.
The day went by pretty quickly, a lot of people came into the shop. Anouk went off to school, and came home in a fairly good mood. She helped in the shop a lot, and she usually helped Josephine pack up the chocolate.
That night, Anouk didn't ask for a story. I think she knew I wasn't gonna be up for it.
The next two weeks went by, and all the elderly ladies told me I should be in bed with my feet up, at least three times a day. A couple times Mrs. McKenzie told me that she was going to come and check on me every day. She said I shouldn't be wearing my self out. She was the nurse in town, and most everyone said I should listen to her. Did I? Nope. Now, of course, not everyone agreed with me having another baby. And not having the father around made it even harder. I also didn't tell anyone that Roux was the father. Im sure that many guessed, but I didn't feel it right to tell them after he left.
One morning I woke up with a horrible headache. Josephine came in to make sure I was ok, and I told her I wasn't feeling very good.
"Oh my god! Anouk!" She yelled down the stairs. Anouk came in and Jo told her to go get Mrs. McKenzie.
She put a cold cloth on my head, and I don't really remember much after that.
I woke up after though, with Jo and Mrs. McKenzie beside me. Anouk was in a chair, and when she saw that I was awake, she slowly walked over to me.
"Oh Vi! It's a girl!" Jo said, handing me a little bundle.
"Oh mama! What are you going to name her?" Anouk asked, sitting next to me on the bed.
"I don't know. What would you like to name her?" I asked. I had decided that I wanted Anouk to name her.
"Oh, I don't know. Something pretty."
Mrs. McKenzie and Josephine left Anouk and me alone, and we thought of names.
"How about Aliza?" Anouk asked, stroking the little one's head. Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at her big sister with big eyes. They were brown, and she had a lot of dark brown hair scattered over her tiny head.
"That's a very pretty name. Aliza Claudette Rocher." I wrapped my arms around my little girl, and soon fell asleep. I woke up with many voices floating up the stairs.
I got up, feeling quite refreshed, I had slept for about 3 hours. I put on my robe, not caring about the voices down stairs and what they might think.
I walked down the stairs, and found Luc and Caroline, Jo and Anouk. Anouk rushed over to me when she saw me, and helped me to a chair.
"I'm fine Anouk! I'm not disabled." I sat down, and Jo put Aliza in my arms.
Luc and Anouk went upstairs, and left Caroline, Jo and I to talk. They gushed over Aliza, and the conversation led to Caroline and Reynaud's wedding. (A/B: I don't know if that is the correct way of saying the name. Is that his last name? Or first name? I really don't know. If anyone does, PLEASE let me know!)
"We're to be married this summer." Caroline said, looking happier than she had been in a long time. That would be in about 6 months.
I didn't really pay much attention to the conversation, I was too busy looking at my little girl. She had my nose, and chin, but she definitely had Roux's eyes. Her hair was dark brown, and her fingers were so tiny, they couldn't grip anything yet.
After a while Luc and Caroline left, and Jo went back into the kitchen. She insisted that I take a few days off, and she and Anouk would run the shop. I went upstairs for a nap with Aliza. I fed her first, and soon she fell asleep against my chest. I slept a little too, but I mostly just started out the window at the clouds passing by. My little girl woke up, and I was surprised how calm she was. Anouk had been very fussy. She took after me. When I was little, I cried for most of the time. I guessed that Aliza took after Roux. He seemed like the kind of child who would be very calm.
The next couple of days went by really fast. I didn't do any work, and I went for a couple walks. So many people came by to congratulate me, and Aliza received so many little outfits, it was funny. Pere Henri came into the shop four days after Aliza was born and approached me about her Christening.
"Excuse me, madam, I was just wondering if your little girl was to be christened?" He asked, holding his hands in front of him.
I looked at him. "Well, I haven't set foot inside of the church since I got here, I don't intend to now."
He blushed slightly. He was looking at Aliza, and I suddenly realized something. "Henri, would you like to hold her?" I stood up so I could set her in his arms.
"Oh! Well... I don't know, Madam." He sorta stepped away.
"Oh, c'mon!" I said, setting her in Henri's arms. "And I've told you so many times before. Call me Vianne. Ok?"
He didn't say anything. He was looking intently at Aliza. "She's so tiny! A real gift from God you have here, Ma'am."
He stayed quite a while, just holding Aliza, and I was able to get some stuff done. I felt strange, carrying a load around like that for nine months, then suddenly it was gone.
When he finally left, I told him he could come by any time he wanted to play with her. I could tell he had a soft spot for her.
Aliza grew really fast, and in just a month she was almost twice the size of when she was born. Pere Henri came over quite a bit to play with Aliza, and I think he quite enjoyed it.
One day when Aliza was about 6 months old, Josephine were making a fresh batch of chocolate lover's delight squares, when Anouk rushed in the door. Her cheeks were flushed from the chilly October wind, and her hair was swirling around her head.
"Mama! Guess what?" She said, excitedly rushing up to me.
"What?" I put my bowl down, and put my hands on Anouk's cheeks to warm them up.
"They're back!" She said, so excited she was almost jumping up and down.
"What? Who's back?"
"Melinda!"
I was confused. Who was Melinda? Then I remembered. It hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Are you sure?" I asked Anouk, my eyes wide.
"Sure! I saw the boat! And Melinda! She was running around with Jake!" and with that, she ran off upstairs.
I sunk down on the chair, letting it sink in. If Melinda were back, her pony would be back too. Roux. He was back. After a year and a half, he was back.
Authors Babble: Ok, about that favor. This is what I need you to do. See that little blue button down there that says 'Go!'? Push it, and type in what you think of my story. And, does anyone know where I can get a script of this movie? I mean, I can't find a good website that has one...
