Back to the Beginning
Chapter 8
Hey all. New chapter.
(Note from beta – I think that Krissy deserves a huge Hug for this – I know she's having a bit of a hard time with stuff at the moment, but she still managed to pull through and get this out for us guys!)
Maria sighed and sank in on the love seat in her husband's study.
"You really should see the doctor, you have never been more exhausted in you life." Georg told her. "I mean, even with Lucas, you were running around till you practically gave birth to him."
"Georg I know, but every baby is different." she said. "I'm already 5 months and I'm huge!"
"You're not huge Maria! You're pregnant with my baby, which makes you extremely attractive to me." He said, coming to sit down beside her.
"Thanks, but that's how I got in to this way in the first place." She told him wryly.
"I believe you were there as well dearest." Georg grinned at her.
"I know I was." she said. "Only four more months, then we'll have 9 children." she said.
"Yes, many are surprised, I'm still having children with the seven I already have." Georg chuckled to himself. "Then I have a beautiful young wife, so I don't blame myself!"
"Well I'm glad." Maria said before adding, "I think."
Georg laughed out loud. "I'm calling the doctor, you go and rest." He told his wife.
I'm sorry." Liesl said.
"It's not your fault." Fabian said trying not to laugh.
"Yes it is!" Liesl said in a childlike way of almost shouting at him.
"Liesl, Darling, I knew when I signed up for the marriage, you had no idea how to cook what so ever. But I appreciate the thought." he said.
"Fabian I managed to make a pancake go up in flames!" she looked at him sternly.
"I know and it was priceless!" he said laughing, and then he saw her look at him, that could almost match her fathers! "I mean it was very, very sad...come on Liesl, you have to admit it was pretty funny." Fabian said grinning at his new wife.
"Then you can do the cooking, you're better at it." Liesl said stubbornly.
"Fine I will!" Fabian said, and then burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Liesl asked him with her hands on her hips.
"You are my dear." her husband replied and kissed her. "And I love you for it."
Fabian pulled his new wife close with his hands on her hips. "Did I tell you how much I love you today?" he asked, kissing down her neck.
"About five times." she said sighing softly and gripped his broad shoulders.
"How about we forget about dinner and make our own in our room." he said huskily in her ear as he nipped her ear lobe.
"Is dessert included?' she asked.
"Isn't it always my darling bride?" Fabian said, as he swept her up into his arms.
The house was quite without Liesl around. Sure, the young ones made enough noise to make up for it, although the Captain couldn't believe that his daughter was married and had her own house, and husband, they were acting like total newlyweds.
"I think it twins." Maria said.
"Oh, that's nice dear." Georg said still off in space. "Twins?!...what?!" he said snapping back into reality.
Maria laughed.
"That's what the doctor suspects." Maria said still smiling.
"Twins...dearest, if we keep this up, were going to need a bigger house, or marry some of them off, and I'm not ready for that yet." he said.
"It's not my fault you can't keep your hands to yourself." Maria said smirking a bit at her husband.
"Just a small wedding Friedrich, maybe in the Gazebo?" Isobel said.
"That sounds nice. I hate big affairs anyway. I found us an apartment, so we don't have to live here after we're married. It has two rooms, one for us, one for the baby. There's a kitchen and living room area, bathroom also." Friedrich said to her.
"Izzy, I'm sorry for getting us into this mess, if I had just stopped none of this would be happening." He said.
"Friedrich, it's my fault to, not just yours I got carried away myself." Isobel told him.
"It is my fault, I'm the one older then you Izzy, I met you when you were 10 years old, then I just fell in love with you, and I kissed you..."
"And I kissed you back." Isobel cut him off. "And I never stopped you either; it's both of our faults."
Friedrich nodded. "Well, Chocolate or Sponge cake?" he asked.
"Chocolate." They said in agreement and then laughed. Friedrich smiled and kissed her.
Gretl ran around the yard, her friends were over. "Hey watch this!" she yelled then did a cartwheel. "Isn't it cool?"
"Totally cool!" Beatrice, a girl with reddish hair said. "Hey Betty can you do that?"
"No, but let's ask if we can go swimming!" A black haired girl said.
"Daddy won't allow that." Marta said. "He says it's too dangerous."
Gretl sighed, she loved swimming even if she couldn't really swim all that well.
"I know! We can run through the sprinklers!" Gretl yelled. "I'll go ask!" she said before running inside.
"So you're in University then." Louisa asked him, after she took a sip of her coffee.
"Freshman, what about you." the stranger asked.
"I just graduated in June." she said. "From high school."
"So, Louisa Von Trapp, that's a pretty name." He said. "My name is Avery Simons."
Louisa blushed and smiled.
