The skies were a deep pink mixed with some grey’s, purples and a violet color that made me realize how  fulfilled I am. If you asked me a year ago I would have never thought my path would have led me here. I had an overwhelming feeling running through my veins, a feeling that I couldn’t quite describe. Things weren’t up to me anymore, it’s time i let go of my tendency to need to control everything and keep the faith. I had to just let my life flow and go with it. A year and a half ago today is when I pulled up to my little cottage and saw his car in my driveway. I remember exactly how I felt and how quickly I was ready to leave everything behind and start running for the hills. Things went quickly from there on, however, I knew that it was all just meant to be. I couldn’t put any amount of time on the things that were put right in front of me to move me forward. This is the kind of life I had always dreamed of for my children and I. A life filled with love, light and happiness. Would I have had that on my own? Sure, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I knew I would have figured it al lout eventually. Right now in this very moment is exactly where my children and I are suppose to be.

We had a busy week ahead. The children and I had to up our game for school, which I have been quite nervous for. The curriculum was a bit different from what we were used to moving forward. There was a lot more work involved, academically. I had to brush up on some of my skills! It was a good thing he was a little smarter than I in the academic area of life and chose to take over math. It warmed my heart that he was so willing to settle into this life that we wanted, especially since he is coming from the corporate world. He had saved his money most of his career and it was easy for him to leave it all behind to stay with us and build a new life here. A part of me was afraid it wouldn’t have been what he wanted. A part of me still sometimes wonders if it is what he wants. He made it clear to me from the very beginning that he’d do whatever it took to build a life with my children and I, even if that meant leaving his behind. He told his firm he wasn’t coming back and gave them his official notice about two weeks ago. I took a deep breath, looked up and smiled. There were those chills again!

I came inside to find the children sitting with him at the table eating fresh fruit, crepes and eggs. We bought a few more chickens last year and they were providing us with enough eggs now for all of us. “Momma, he’s the best cook ever!” I smiled over at him as he so graciously got up and  walked over to me, cupped me cheeks with his beautiful hands and planted a kiss on my forehead and then down to my belly. He stayed there for a bit entangled in the moment embracing his unborn child. “Easy my love, it’s too early to tell them!” He came up to me and met my gaze as we both giggled and held each other so tight we didn’t ever want to let go. It was a dream, it was all a surreal yet very real dream that’s always been inside of me and has now come to fruition. There was never anything more during a time in my life way back when and that was to have his children. We weren’t planning on starting the additions to the family this quickly, that’s life! I have learned that it’s the unplanned moments that we must embrace and that is what I fully intend on doing. The children will be so happy when they find out that they will have a little brother or sister. “I was thinking it would be best to wait for our first sonogram to tell them the news, I whispered.” He planted a gentle kiss on my lips and whispered, agreed.

I dropped the children off with our neighbor from across the lake and we hurried to our first doctors appointment. We were both filled with excitement to finally hear the heartbeat of our unborn child. I have been pretty nauseous lately, nothing I have ever experienced with my others. I was wondering if it was normal. I have a list of questions for the doctor as he had his as well, being this is his first time experiencing this his list was a lot longer than mine. “I laughed and said, wow you have certainly done your homework with all of those questions!’ He giggled back at me and just smiled.

Traffic was light and we were there in no time! The wait wasn’t long and as soon as we knew it the doctor was ready for us. They called us in and after some questions in the doctors office and a brief visit from the nurse to get my vitals it was time to meet our baby. While we were waiting we just couldn’t stop smiling at one another. We whispered our “I love you’s”, he held my hand and right there and then I just knew it was a new start to a brand new beginning. The doctor knocked before he walked in and he and his assistant saw we were more than ready and couldn’t wait to get started. “You are going to feel a little pressure, as he inserted the probe.” A moment I was all so very used to. In that moment there were not only one but two heart beats. “Well, what do we have here, the doctor said. Twins! Congratulations, here are your two perfectly healthy babies!” We both looked at each other in pure amazement.

***I know I said previously that “A Small Town Girl” was coming to an end. My guides are pushing me to keep going. And, that is what I am going to do. I will not put an exact ending to this beautiful fictional based short story. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I love writing it. Please share my website with your friends and family. I love you all! Thank you for your continued support on my never ending “SoJourn Journey.”

Until next time…

Love & Light, always!
