"okay, okay. One story" I sighed "A long, long time ago, there was a lady who had just recently lost her husband. Her name is Alicia De La Cruz. The founder of this island" my voice lowered "she cried until she fell asleep because it made her tired, just like when mommy left us" it was still a bit of a strain to talk about her.
"She has always dreamed of finding a pretty place like this and one day, she found it" I paused to see if they were still awake.
Of course Jodie wasn't "what did she name it?"
"Jake is asleep, so lets keep it quiet" I warned her "She named it Widow's Dream"
Jodie wiggled in her bed "That's here." she said joyfully "Why did she name it that?"
Jodie definately was curious "She named it that because that is what it was. A Widow's Dream. And before you ask, No not the spider. This is kind of widow means a girl whose husband died" I sighed, "Time to sleep Jodie. Are you thirsty?"
She just nodded I went to get her a warm milk. Alex was in the kitchen. i gave him a long passionate kiss. Alex is my Fiance. We're getting married in a month.
"Hey honey. Twins asleep yet?" Alex asked. "Jodie's thirsty, so I'm getting her some milk and she will fall fast asleep." I said with a laugh as he pulled me onto his lap. He kissed me again, "Let me take her, her glass, okay? Then we'll take a walk. I'll meet you on the patio.
Like I thought, Jodie had a few sips and she was out like a light and I met Alex as designated. We went on a walk almost every night. It was our alone time.
I had met Alex on the night my mother died. He was an intern at the hospital, doing desk work. Turns out he had seen me walking out with James and my friends. We all were crying. He had heard about the latest death and figured it was why we were crying. Alex sent us a card hoping us well with the twins and ourselves.
A few weeks later I ran into him at the store. He saw the twins and when he looked up there was an instant spark. If I didn't have them with me that day I would never actually have met him. We went on a few dates before he asked me to be his girlfriend.
We had been together for a year before he *popped* the question. Now th wedding was a month away. Every thing was set and planned. We just have to keep Nikky out of jail.
