Give Me Love

Chapter 6

Lisa kicked her feet as she talked to Juan on her cell phone on her bed. "My sister had her baby."

"Oh really?" His voice cracked. "What'd she have?"

"A girl. She's so cute. I can't wait to have a baby."

He said nothing at first. "What did they name her?"

She gave her wall rolled eyes. "Nephtali."

"Wow. I like it."

She smiled. "It's cute. She's cute."

"Are you going to help out?"

"Help out?"

"With changing diapers and stuff?"

She almost had a heart-attack. "Ew! No!"

He chuckled. "I thought you wanted a baby?"

"I'm not changing any diapers! I'm having a nanny for that!"

"You want a nanny for our kids?" He sounded extremely put out.

She almost said "yeah!" but realized he was thinking of them together in the future. "Our kids?"

"Yeah, I-" He stopped then grumped. "You do this on purpose."

She bounced on her bed happily. "You sound like my brothers. We're going to be together forever."

The smile coming down the line let her know he wasn't upset by that.

M&MC

Marcy stared down at Nephtali in her bassinet with a soft smile. Her little girl didn't have the blood of a monster. She was so happy, she could do a backflip. Which was really hard as she could barely stand upright.

Ellen walked into the primary. "Hi. How is she?"

"Good, I think. She's making faces in her sleep."

Ellen smiled. "I know we were going to be loving even if she was his but I'm so glad she's ours. Is that bad?"

"I think so cuz I'm glad, too."

"You're not bad, Marcy."

Marcy nodded, still needing time to believe that. "You should go get the babies so they can react to her."

Ellen looked at her in worry.

"Come on. They can't all walk in here by themselves."

"Sassy." Ellen raised her nose.

Marcy gave her a look.

Ellen blushed. "You gave birth three days ago."

"My petto di miele is cracked from it; I know."

"I know what that means now. It is not."

"It's mine. It is."

Ellen flushed before turning on her heel to collect the little babies.

Marcy sat on the bed, watching her little angel sleep. She sang to her gently.

Ellen returned with Aisling, Sawyer, Daria, Tristan and Yleana so they could see their new baby sister.

The older four ran to the bed to see their mommy while Yleana shrieked loudly.

Marcy hugged and kissed each before setting them on the bed with her. "See Neph? See Sissy?"

"Neph?" Aisling pointed at her little sister as she looked up at her mom.

"Yeah." Marcy bussed her cheek.
