this is the last chapter..which is why i made it so long. thanks for the reviews and ideas...
Five hours later , and I was welcomed with a baby girl-and a baby boy. It was twins. I let my mom and Andy name them since I figured it was the least I can do.
Dane and Dania.
I immediately past out after words as they were named and when I awoke, I saw Jesse at my side.
"You've done well mi Querida."
"It was different then the other ones. I mean I had medication to make it not hurt as much."
"Yea I know, I saw the doctor stick you with something. Such advances here in your time."
I smiled.
"Thank you Jesse for dealing with this change. I know you can't do the things you want anymore. Like a doctor."
"Its okay, with your father, I can do what I did on the ranch. Work hard and provide for my beautiful wife and our beautiful children.
"She looks like you." I looked at Dania. Who had lots of black hair.
He shook his head. "Dane looks like you. He's going to be very good looking when he gets older."
"Where are the others? Paul, Dominick and Alano?" I asked
"Paul had taken them to get their shots, so that they could be safe from common colds and such. Paul will be able to get into school this year. Father Dominick got our birth certificates and he got this for me. I think it was an ID he called "
And he showed me the piece of plastic with his picture. It looked like the miniature that Jack stole once upon a time, but a little more compromised.
"Its amazing." I read the information
Jesse de Silva, born January 5 1970. Location 428 Hollow Road. (AN: not a real street)
"they have it wrong. We live at 99 pine crest drive."
"Umm, about that. Well, I will tell you more about that later. But for now. I want to ask you something."
I knew something was up, but I decided to let it ride out so that I can be surprised.
The next thing that happened was that Jesse went down on one knee as he had done so before so many years before. But the setting had changed seeing as how I was in a hospital bed and no longer in the garden at de Silva ranch.
"Susannah de Silva. You made my life better than it could have been. You gave me five beautiful children. You gave me your love. And now I want to give you something you never had. Your family at your wedding." and then he pulled out my moms engagement ring from where she married my dad. And slipped it on my left ring finger.
I smiled gleefully and gestured for him to come closer and I gave him a long satisfactory kiss.
Few days later, I was back in Paul's van with my two babies and Jesse.
"Paul, this isn't 99 pine Crest drive."
"Gosh Suze, don't you think I know that?"
"Well then where in the hell are we going?"
"I think its time." Paul said to Jesse looking into rear view mirror.
And then Jesse got his handkerchief and tied it softly around my eyes.
"Jesse is this really necessary?"
"Yes it is Querida."
And carefully, I was lead out of the van and Jesse held my hand and the blindfold was untied and I was in front of a house.
"Jesse what is this?"
The house closely resembled my moms. It was two stories and there was three windows above the door.
"And there was a mail box that said de Silva in white letters.
"Do we live-is this-Jesse-how did."
"Yes yes and Father Dominick and your father."
Paul and Liz held Dane and Dania in their arms. Jesse held my hand still and led me up to the house. And opening the door with a bronze key in his pocket, he turned the knob and lifted me up as he did when we first got married. And we entered the house where every one was there.
"SURPRISE!" Every one yelled. Jesse put me down as he walked over the threshold .
He whispered in my ear. "Welcome home Querida." and he kissed my cheek.
I was shocked.
I had only returned less than a week ago and here I was in my own home, with my children and my husband. I never thought that this dream would come true. That I would get it all. But here I was.
It turns out that "the church has ways" to help families in need to start over. And the moment that I arrived, Father Dominick started working on my family starting over. The house had 7 rooms 4 bathrooms, and was two stories. There was a pool and a Jacuzzi In the back yard and the house was already decorated thanks to my mom, Gina and Cee Cee.
Our first night there was great. It was the three boys and the newborns and just Jesse and I. The boys often asked if we were going to return to our other home, but Jesse , very bluntly told them that this was our home now and that anywhere was home as long as we were all together. And that seemed to work out with them.
I had almost forgotten why we had left in the first place. I asked my son Paul, a month after we moved in.
"Paul, remember when we left home?"
"si mami."
"Did you see something before the house caught on fire?" I asked remembering that he had been the one to alert us to the intruder.
"Si mami. Its too scary though. Mami, please don't ask me."
(AN:I know its like impossible for a four year old to actually give you a conversation, but Paul is based on my cousin Andrew who gave us conversations ever since he was three.)
"One day I might have to." I said brushing off the subject for another day.
Dania and Dane were crying in their room and I walked over there.
Jesse was already in there and he was holding Dania. I think he was proud to be a father for a girl now. I lifted Dane and laughed.
"Jesse, I think we might consider hiring a nanny." I laughed.
Over the next few weeks, Jesse was getting used to the 21st century. School had started already and Paul was in kindergarten and my Dominick was in pre-k.
So all day, it was just Alano, Dane, Dania and I. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Mom came over after work and played with the boys and then Paul came over with the boys.
We were home and we were happy.
A year passed
I worked at the school as a day care helper and Jesse helped out at a local museum on his days off from working with Andy. Things were good.
Oh was I wrong
I just put Dane and Dania to sleep. I got a phone call
Jesse wasn't home yet because he had to stay at the museum to help Father Dominick with a project. Something made my heart jump when I picked up the phone.
Woman on Phone: Hello, I would like to speak to Mrs. De Silva. Is she home.
Me: This is her. Who may I ask is calling?
Woman on Phone: This is a nurse at Carmel Hospital. Your husband was brought in just now with severe burns on his arms. We need you to come and bring his insurance cards.
I dropped the phone and picked it up so that I wouldn't miss any information
Me: thank you very much
And I hung up and called Paul
We were at the hospital in less than an hour. It took us so long because I had to drop all the boys and Dania off at my moms house.
"Jesse de Silva?" I said to the woman at the front desk.
"that way" and she pointed down a long hall.
I ran until I saw Jesse lying in a bed. He was awake.
"Jesse? What happened?"
"I don't know Querida. I'm on my way home and all of a sudden, my shirt catches on fire. I got out in the middle of the street and the next thing I remember is being here."
"Felix." I said in barely a whisper but Jesse heard me
I don't know what made me think of him but that was the reason we came here. Our house was on fire at the time.
"Diego? No, he's dead. Its impossible."
"Jesse, what does ¡Hasta muerte, viviré en este tiempo!' mean? I asked. Those words stuck with me since that day.
"until death I shall live in this time…what does that have anything to do with this?"
It didn't make sense. I repeated it back and fourth.
"Maybe it means until death I shall not rest. But whose death?"
"Querida! Please let me know any day now."
"When we left a year ago, remember the fire?"
"How could I forget?"
"I saw felix's ghost. He shouted Hasta muerte, viviré en este tiempo!' I think he means to get revenge on us for him dying instead of you. I think we are in danger"
"we are, all of us. Your family and ours. We have to go."
"you are not going anywhere Mr. de Silva." said the doctor.
"but sir"
"its okay jesse. I'll be back soon" and I dragged Paul out of the waiting room and got back into the car. He was going to help me exercise this monster before he hurt my family.
"Why are we doing this?" Paul asked as we got the floor ready for a summoning.
"This is the monster that ruined my life. I didn't want to say it in front of jesse, but Felix Diego made me choose between my life and my love. Ruining it. Lets get this bastard and make sure he don't come back."
HE appeared.
"Bitch. What are you doing?"
"YOU KILLED JESSE. You made me go back there and lose every thing I had. You made me come back here. You attacked him and he could have died." I was pissed off.
"and you don't belong here." I said to him while Paul was saying the words. The hole above him opened and he was getting pulled up.
"and I am not a bitch"
And he was gone
The hole closed shut and I was done
My family was safe
Paul drove me back to the hospital. My life was barely beginning.
I let out a sigh
