Chapter Sixteen
As Seto and Joey came downstairs from spending some private time together, they heard the sound of a guitar playing and Seto said "that sounds like Roland playing" and they went to the living room and standing in the doorway they watched as Roland and Helga sang the same song that they use to sing to Seto and Mokie when they were little:
Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my babies my own
Turn around and you're two,
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young child
Going out of the door
Turn around (turn around)
Turn around (turn around)
Turn around and you're a young child
Going out of the door
Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my babies my own
Turn around and you're two,
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young child
Going out of my door
As they stood there listening to the words tears came to their eyes as they realized that their own little ones were growing and that before they knew it Shannon and Shawn would be grown up and leaving them alone.
Helga looked up and touched Roland's arm and he turned around and there stood Seto and Joey with tears running down their faces and they smiled and Helga got up and went over to Seto and Joey and held them in her arms and she said "their still your little ones and wil always be, but everyday you'll notice that they are growing up and sure it makes a parent sad, but remember that as they grow, they are learning things that will make their lives better. And that is because of the love you have for them."
Seto the kissed her cheek and as they walked over and stood looking down on their son and daughter sleeping, they smiled as they realized that they were growing up and as they did, they would always be their little ones. So as Shannon and Shawn grew up, they had all the usual childhood ailments, such as runny noses, the occasional ear ache and when they started trying to take steps by themselves they also got their share of bumps and bruises.
Seto was holding Shannon and she said her first word, she said "dada." And Seto nearly dropped her. As Joey came into the room from changing Shawn he saw that Seto's eyes were filled with tears and asked "what's wrong?"
She said "dada." Seto told him. Joey smiled and sat down next to them and he said to Shawn "well I wonder what you're first word will be?" Well one week later they found out. Shawn's first word was "NO." That was because he was always trying to grab things and Helga was always saying "no to him." So now their little ones were starting to try to talk and then it hit them, that meant that sooner or later they would be going to school and that caused Joey to begin to cry. "I can't let them go, they need me." That made Roland and Helga laugh.
They were celebrating Shannon and Shawn's first birthday and Seto and Joey invited all their friends and their children to come and join in the fun. Roland and Helga helped get things ready and when everything was done, the all stood back and smiled the back yard was now transformed into a big playground. The sat there waiting for their friends to arrive and when they did, the celebration began. Everyone of the little ones had fun playing and after they ate the food they were all ready for a nap, and as Roland helped put them all down on the big rug and Helga said that she'd watch them, the adults had time to sit and talk, laugh and tell stories about raising their own kids and it was a wonderful time for all.
As the day ended and everyone went home, Seto and Joey stood there looking down on their children and as a tear fell down their faces, they knew that soon they would be going on their own Odyssey, and neither of them are ready to let them go just yet. So it begins when the little ones are ready to go to school for the first time. Kindergarten, that is a word that neither Seto and Joey were ready to hear.
