Hey! No ballet class today! But I did have camp however. I'm so tired I almost fell asleep in class. I stayed up last night watching Phantom of the opera and I hit the note Christine sang at the end of the POTO.
Ch 3
James and Ebony had returned to the small house they lived in, Anita had put all the dishes away and sat in the sitting room and was reading a book. William was outside tending to the horses. Anita decided she would check on Joseph and then retire for the evening. She went upstairs and turned to the nursery. She looked to the crib and saw him sleeping peacefully and went to change into her nightgown.
She was sitting in front of the mirror and pulled her hair off her neck and imagined she was a young girl going to her first ball again. She had been the most asked girl to dance with each young man before the night was over. She had met a teen-aged boy there by the name of Patrick. She had liked him the most and soon they were sweethearts until he had been killed in a carriage accident. It seemed as though her life was always going in a negative direction until she had met James. She was brought out of her thought when William entered the room.
" Anita, I think your mare has an injured foot I'm going to have to examine it further but I put a splint on it for now." William said.
Anita hastily dropped her waist length hair back down.
" Oh yes, I haven't ridden her for over a year now, Luna is a wonderful horse." She sighed.
" Is something bothering you?" William asked pulling a chair up beside her.
She took a breath and turned to him.
" I want to be young again." She said.
William gave a laugh.
" Isn't that what we all want?" He asked.
She glared at him and turned back to the mirror.
" I'm not getting any younger and I hate to say it but you're not getting any younger either." He smiled sincerely.
" I know but I just wish could have made a better life for myself and our growing family." She sighed.
" Wait, growing family?" He asked.
" I'm pregnant William." She said turning to him again.
He looked at her again for confirmation.
" This is wonderful!" He exclaimed giving her a hug.
" Six more months William," She smiled
" Six more months." He smiled.
