Part1
Abby woke up early on her day off with her head resting on Luka's chest. She lay there motionlessly enjoying the silence, listening intently to the beat of Luka's heart. After awhile she decided it was time to go and check on Joe. She slowly and carefully moved Luka's hand from around her waist and got out of bed. She glanced over at the alarm clock on the bedside table next to Luka's side of the bed. It was 7.30am Luka had work at 9. She contemplated waking Luka up but she decided against it because he sleeping like a baby.
She
walked down the corridor towards Joe room. She stood outside the door
for a few minutes not wanting to break the silence. When she entered
Joe's room he was lying peacefully in his crib sucking his left
thumb. His stuffed frog that Abby and Luka brought him when he left
the hospital was clenched in his right hand. In the night he pushed
his blanket to the bottom of the crib and it was now just covering
his feet. Abby walked over to the changing table and picked up his
blue dummy.
She uncovered his feet and tickled the bottom of them
making Joe laugh. Not long after, Joe was wide awake and staring up
at Abby with his blue sparkling eyes. As Abby picked him up he
started to cry "what are all these tears about?" she said
as she put the dummy into his mouth and he instantly stopped crying.
She leaned over and picked up his stuffed frog and headed toward her
bedroom to wake up her other sleeping baby.
