Told from Luka's Point of View

She stares out the window, not looking at anything in particular. I grab her hand with my hand and give it a reassuring squeeze. We've been driving for two days now. Back to New Jersey. She fidgets in her seat and I know the waiting is killing her. I've never met him. They didn't come to our wedding. I don't even know how Sam's sister Margaret got our number. I see the exit for New Jersey and get off the freeway.

A loud snore comes from Lucy and I laugh in the back of my throat. She and Josh have spent most of the time sleeping and I know they will be really hyper when we get to Sam's old home.

Four hours later I see the exit for Sam's town and I get off the freeway.

"Sam we're in Pennington. I'm going to need directions." She nods her head and wipes away a stray tear.

"Turn left onto West Delaware Ave." she tells me. I do so and the road turns into East Delaware Ave.

"It's 132 East Delaware Ave. The gray colonial house….right there." I pull into the driveway ad turn off the car. Sam stares at the front door.

"I haven't been home for seven years." She tells me in a whisper. We sit there together, Alex watching a movie, and Josh and Lucy sleeping.

The front door is opened and a young woman who looks a bit like Sam stars at the door.

"Margaret." Sam says in a whisper. She opens the door and gets out of the car. She and her sister stand there and stare at one another until suddenly they are running towards one another.

When they break away Sam looks back at the car and waves for me to get out of the car.

"Alex…we're here." But Alex's already taken off his head phones and gotten out of the car. Leaving me to muster up the courage to get out of the car, get Lucy and Josh too, and met Sam's sister,

I open my door and get out of the car. Margaret stares at me and I open Lucy's door.

"Lucy Goosey time to wake up." I rub her arm and her eyes open. After helping her unbuckle her seat belt, I lean over and unlatch Josh's car seat. I lift it up and carry it over Lucy's car seat and out of the car. He stirs and I take Lucy's hand in mine. By the time we take our first step more people are filling out of the house and Sam and Alex are being stared at. I guess her being pregnant isn't helping her family's hostility,

When I reach her she says, "Everyone this is my husband Luka and our daughter Lucy and our son Joshua."
