Chapter 5
The day finally arrived that Nick was to take his vacation. That morning he rolled over in bed to snuggle up next to the warm body that lay next to him, but when he did so there was no one there. He opened his eyes and looked around the room. Sara was no where in sight.
After thinking about it for a moment he decided to roll out of bed. He pushed the sheet off of him and slung his legs over the side of the bed. Standing up the stretched his arms above his head and yawned. Nick walked into the bathroom to splash his face off in the sink.
Finishing in the bathroom, Nick walked out of the bathroom and back into the bed room. He searched in his closet for a pair of jogging pants because the only thing he was wearing was his boxers. He then walked out of the room and downstairs to find his wife and daughter.
"Sara? Alyssa?" He called out as he reached the bottom step. His house was quiet. It was unusual especially with a three year old in the house.
"Hmmm… I wonder where they are." Nick thought to himself as he walked into the kitchen. When he entered the kitchen he noticed a note on the table…
Hey honey Alyssa and I decided to go clothes shopping for the babies. We will be back in a little while. By the way 'Happy Vacation'.
Love,
Sara.
Nick finished reading the letter from his wife and then sat it back down on the table before going to the refrigerator for his daily glass of orange juice.
After finishing his juice, he placed the glass in the sink and walked back into the living room. He sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV.
"This would be a good time to call my mom and tell her we are coming down." Nick thought to himself.
Nick grabbed the phone and started dialing his parents' number. A few rings later his mom, Jillian, picked up.
"Hey mom. How are you?"
"Hey pancho, I'm fine, how are you? How's the family?"
"They're fine."
"That wedding was beautiful Nicky, I loved the colors Sara picked out, that yellow and pink went good together, especially on the brides maid's dresses; and Sara's dress was gorgeous. You also looked very handsome in that tuxedo."
"Thanks mom. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you much after the wedding. We had to be checked into the suite by 6 p.m. so that's why we rushed out in such a hurry."
"I understand hun. I was going to call you last week, but I knew you guys were probably busy."
"Mom, you know you can call anytime."
Jillian laughed a little at Nick's statement. "Yes but Nick, honey, you are always so hard to reach. With you and Sara working full time, it's rare you two ever pick up the phone."
This made Nick laugh. It was true the two of them were hard to reach.
"Mom, I actually called because I got something I want to tell you."
"What's that?"
"I'm taking my vacation this week and we are wanting to fly down there to see you guys."
"That would be wonderful." Jillian said with excitement.
"I was going to try and get the tickets today or tomorrow."
"Great! Let me know when you guys are coming in and we will be at the airport to pick you up."
"Will do. As soon as Sara gets back home with Alyssa I'll see what she wants to do and I'll let you know tomorrow okay?"
"Alright Pancho. I love you."
"I love you too, Mom. Tell dad hi for me."
"Okay, I will. Give Alyssa a kiss for me."
"Alright. I'll talk to you tomorrow mom."
"Okay bye."
"Bye mom." And with that Nick hung up the phone.
Nick lay down on the couch and flipped on the TV. As he laid there he thought about how his parents were going to react to the news of the twins. He knew they would be happy, and he couldn't wait to see his mom's excitement when he told her. Seeing his mom happy always made him happy.
Nick continued to lay on the couch, until he heard a car pull up in the driveway. It wasn't but a moment later his three-year old came into the house.
"Hi daddy." Alyssa said when she opened the door and saw her daddy.
"Hey baby. Where is mommy?"
"Her is outside, getting tuff out of dee car."
"I'm going to go help her. You go to your room and play okay?" He told her as he kissed her head and walked out the front door.
Nick walked to the back of the Denali, where Sara was standing. "Hey honey. You need any help?"
"Yeah if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind." Nick said as he gave Sara a peck on the lips.
Nick looked at all the bags that lay in the back of the Denali. "Do we really need all this stuff?"
Sara gave Nick and angry glare.
"I'm just kidding baby." Nick said as he smiled and gave Sara another kiss on the lips.
Nick grabbed the majority of the bags, leaving Sara carrying two small ones.
When Nick entered the house he placed the bags on the living room floor. Sara then sat down in the floor and began to sort through all the bags.
"Oh Nicky you have to see what I bought the babies."
Sara looked through the bags for a moment before pulling out two little sun dresses, one purple and one pink, that had butterflies on them. "Isn't it cute?"
Nick nodded and gave Sara a smile. Sara often didn't get excited but every time they would talk about the twins or her pregnancy you could see her face glow with joy. After Alyssa was born, Sara seemed to change, or at least to him she did. He saw a different side of her. And he loved it.
"Daddy, wook at dis! I picked it out for dee babies." Alyssa told her father as she held up two little sleepers. "Do you fhank the babies will wike it?"
"Yes I do, and you can tell the babies you picked it out all by yourself."
Alyssa smiled at her father before putting them back in the bag and went back to playing with a new doll Sara let her pick out in the store.
"Oh Sara, I just talked to my mom, and I told her that we were thinking of flying down there to see them."
"What did she say?"
"She said that would be great and she asked when we were coming."
"What did you tell her?" Sara asked as she was still sorting through the bags.
"I told her I would talk to you and see when you wanted to go, and let her know tomorrow."
"Well I'm game to whenever."
"What do you think about getting our plane tickets tonight and leaving tomorrow?" Nick asked as he helped Sara up from her sitting position on the floor.
"Sure, whatever." Sara told him.
"Alright, I'll go online and get the plane tickets tonight." Nick said as he helped Sara pick up the baby items from the floor.
"Oh did you tell your mom about the twins?" Sara asked as she walked in the direction of the spare bedroom, which was going to be filled with two babies soon.
"No, not yet. I want to surprise her." Nick said following her.
They placed the baby stuff on the floor to be put in there place the nursery was ready. Sara just stood there for a moment looking around the room, and rubbing her bulging stomach. Nick wrapped his arms around her waist and also placed his hands on her stomach.
She turned and faced him, her stomach up against his.
"Nick, I'm kind of nervous about the twins."
"What do you mean?"
"Well you know how when Alyssa was born, we discovered a love for her like nothing we have ever felt?"
"Yeah…" Nick said a little confused at what his wife was talking about.
"Well…I'm nervous that I won't be able to love the twins like I love Alyssa." She said as a tear ran down her cheek.
Nick cupped Sara's face with his hands and said "Don't worry; I know that you will get that feeling as soon as you hold those twins in your arms."
"You think so?" Sara asked.
"I know so baby." Nick said as he kissed her on the lips.
"I love you." Sara said after she broke the kiss.\
"I love you too, and don't worry so much about it." Nick said as he caressed her back with his hand.
"Ok." She said as she gave him a smile, and then went back to getting things ready in the nursery.
Nick walked back into the living room and saw his daughter still playing with her doll.
"Did you get a new doll today, baby?"
"Yeah. Mommy bought it for me cause she said I been good waitwee."
"You have, you've been a very good girl." Nick said taking a seat on the floor next to his daughter and begins playing with her curly brown hair.
"Yep." Alyssa says as she continues to play with her doll.
"Hey Alyssa. Do you want to fly down to see Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow?"
Her eyes widened and what her daddy said "YES!" she squealed as she got up from the floor.
