"Call him Steve!"she said and looked into the eyes of her husband. Matt Camden had tears in his eyes. The doctor just told him that during the birth Sarah's belly was injured in a way that will kill her in short. She asked to see her family for the last time. Matt held Rachel in his arms and looked down at his wife. She was still that beautifull when he first saw her in the clinic in GlenOak.
"Rachel, be a good big sister to your brother!"Sarah said handing her son to the nurse and held for Rachel.
"And be a good daughter to your father!"she added holding her for a kiss. Rachel looked at her mother and began to cry silent but her tears were falling from her eyes like in thunder.
"Don't cry please!"Sarah said. And Rachel decided to do what her mother wanted, she never cried again.
Rachel woke up and looked around. She dreamed again of her mother. And how she was dying.
"Rache! Wake up! It's sunday and we are going to church to grandpa!"Polly opened the door and jumped on her bed.
"To church?"Rachel looked at her little sister.
"Yes, grandpa is having a special ceremone!"
"Cermon! Okay, I'll be ready in five minutes."she said pulling her youngest sister out of her room.
"She is annoyed!"Dana said sitting in the kitchen talking to her mother."She hated that we don't go to the rabbit's."
"Dana, stop it!"Matt appeared in the kitchen door."You are old enough to respect your sister's religion and her grandfather."
"Sorry, Matt!"Dana murmed.
"Brad, you should be dressed by now!"Shana said watching her son walking into the kitchen.
"I don't wanna go!"he said.
"Come on!"Rachel said appearing behind him."I'll help you to get dressed!"
"No, I am old enough to get dressed alone!"he said running back to her room.
Steve had to jump to the side not to bump against his brother.
"Where is Kelly?"Matt asked holding for his cup of coffee.
"She is taking a shower"Polly said jumpin all around the kitchen.
"I'll go!"Shana smiled and headed to the bathroom.
"Kelly, dear! Are you ready?"she asked knocking on the door.
"Mom could you come in?"a weak voice asked from inside.
"What's wrong?"Shana closed the door behind herself. Kelly was sitting on the toilette and looking at her mother scared.
"I think, I have my me...mens.."
"Menstruation"Shana smiled."We have talked about it, my dear! You don't have to be affraid of it!"
"I just have...I don't know what to do..and..?"
"I'll show you!"Shana said.
"Is everything okay, inside there?"Matt knocked on the door.
"Don't tell him please!"Kelly whispered.
"Yes, we'll be right there!"Shana called to Matt.
"I'll tell him, you know we don't have any secrets!"she turned back to her daughter.
Some minutes later they appeared again. Kelly was smiling proud and Matt looked at Shana questioning.
"I'll tell you later!"she said.
"Is everyone ready?"she asked looking at the children.
"Yes, we are!"Rachel said.
Mary turned into the parking place near the church.
"I'm happy you came too, Billy! My Dad is having a special cermon today and it means so much for him that everyone will be there!"
"You know I like him like my grandfather, and I am happy to come!"Billy smiled and opened the door for his stepmother. Then he turned to the backseats and helped her sisters out.
"Is Todd coming with Charles?"he asked the twins.
"Yes, they will be right here!"Kate said. She was beautifull and she knew that. Every boy at school was crazy for her. Except the one she loved. But it is typical, she says always.
"Hello Everyone!"Lucy smiled at the coming family.
"Aunt Lucy, you seem like you are having twins again!"Laura said and went to hug her.
"No, way! There is only one twin in each family, you remember!"Wilson smiled at her sister in-law.
"I hope you're right!"Andrew smiled and gave him his hand.
"The kids are already inside! It seems that we soon will need our own church! The half of the people here is part of the family!"Jennifer stood next to her mother.
Simon and Carla were on the way to church too.
"I wonder what my dad is going to say! He just got back from Miami!"
"You know, that he wants to go to rent and give over the church!"Carla smiled at him.
"Yes, but Lucy is staying home!"
"Maybe he wants to introduce the knew pastor!"
"Can be!"
"What does it mean that grandpa is going to rent, is he going to die?"Owen asked.
"No, he is just going to stay at home and let someone else do his work at the church!"Suzie corrected her little brother.
"I don't think Dad could just stay at home!"Simon said.
Sam turned to the street of the church.
"I can't see any parking place. You should get out of the car and I'll drive around until I find one!"
Gina his wife took the little Kata from the baby seat. Kata was only two months. Meanwhile David got out of the car with his 8 month old daughter Violett, called Vio.
"I'll be back soon!"Sam said short kissing his wife and turning back where he came from.
"Sasa!"Vio waved after him.
"Sasa is coming back!"David said. Sasa was the first and only word she told. David was kind of jealous becaus his daughter's first word wasn't dad. She called first for her uncle, she loved a lot.
Maya was sitting in the first row with her little twin sisters and two strange boys. Everyone thought they would be the dates of the twins.
After everyone arrived Eric stood up to talk to the people.
"I am staying her the last time!"he said."I was her almost all of my life almost 50 years. I had lot of lovely and sad memories about the work here, with all of you. Now I step back and let someone take over the job I trust and love."he smiled behind himself but noone could see the man he was looking at."You know him, he was here about 20 years ago then he found a job somewhere else. But before I would stepp aside and let him talk to you I have to tell you I loved every minute I spent with you and I hope you feel the same. Everyone knows my family and that all of my childer moved out and have their own family. I don't see them as much I would like but they are still with me. You all know the people who joined our family. Not only my brother- and sister in laws, but my adopted children and friends like Robbie Palmer, who I believed is able to change and he did it. He lives now in Florida with his family. And there is Martin too, who is still living in our neighbourhood and visiting us often. Maya, Joanna and Diana Stevens, who sadly lost their parents found a new family in my house. So I hope will do my newest sons, Clark and Jake Davies. Please boys, say hello to the people!"he said.
A blonde and a brown boy stood up smiling shy at all the people around them."I met them in Florida on my last trip, where I had a mission and where I met Robbie and his newborn son, his third one, Eric Daniel Palmer. Now I have said enough, it seems I am trying to talk as much as I can since I want to say everything in my last speech. But it's time to move on and let the man come here and talk to you, who will be your new pastor on the way to Jesus' heart. Please welcome back here, Reverend Chandler Hampton!"
Eric said and stepped aside to let him come to his place.
"Thank you, Eric! I have wonderfull memories about the time I spent here, and when Eric asked me to come back I was glad to do it!"
