The Love Line

Together

***

"Love, are we ready to go?" Ohm asked Fluke as he entered the room. "Did you pack everything?"

Fluke nodded and smiled. "Yes, we just need to wait for Dr. Coates. She should be here by now."

And just like on cue, the jolly doctor entered the room, "Hello. . . Hello. . . Hello!" 

"Hi, Doctor!" Both Ohm and Fluke greeted and smiled at her.

"Aww. . . I will miss you, lovebirds!" She said, "And I will miss this cutie so much!" She then moved to the baby who was in Fluke's arms. 

"Dr. Coates, you'll see him again after two weeks for the check-up."

"I know, but I see him every day for months, so it will be a big adjustment not seeing him."

"You can always visit him at home. Bring your kids, so Sky and Sun will have playmates."

"For sure. . . They love your kids so much!" She said. "By the way, if anything happens just call me, okay?"

"Yes. . . And thank you so much, Dr. Coates. Thank you for helping Earth. I appreciate everything you've done. You are our angel."

"Aww. . . Don't make me cry, or else I won't let you out of this place."

Ohm and Fluke chuckled. They said their goodbyes and head out of the room. All the nurses and doctors were there to say their goodbyes to their little Earth. Fluke was so touched and happy that Earth was loved by everyone.

Cheers and the sound of confetti poppers filled the room as soon as they entered the house. Fluke immediately held Earth tightly to secure him. 

He looked at everyone. There in his living room were his kids, Frank, and his parents, Olivia and Nanny Mari giving him their biggest smiles. His heart was full of joy. Sky and Sun ran to greet him and Earth. Fluke kneeled so the kids would be able to see Earth.

"Hi, Baby Earth!" Sky greeted, "Welcome to our home!" 

Since Sky and Sun usually tagged along on the weekends when he visited Earth, the little boy immediately responded when he heard his brother's voice. He lifted his hand and reached for Sky's face which made the latter chuckle.

"I think Earth missed his P' Sky." Fluke said and reached for Sun. "Look, baby Earth, P' Sun is here, too." 

Sky took the little girl's attention to sign what his father said. The little girl smiled when Earth tried to grab her face.

"Love, why don't you sit down, so you won't get tired carrying Earth?" Ohm asked and assisted Fluke to a seat.

"Aww. . . He's so cute, Fluke!" Mom (Frank's mother) commented when she sat next to Fluke.

"He is, Mom. He's gone even cuter when he had gained a little weight. Look at his cheeks!" The older woman agreed and smiled while looking at the little boy. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Can I?" Fluke nodded his head and transferred Earth to her. "Oh my goodness! He's so cute. Honey, look at our youngest grandchild." She said as she called her husband. 

"Yes, Honey. He's really cute just like Sky and Sun." Dad (Frank's father) said and looked at Fluke. "Thank you for raising three beautiful kids, Fluke. I admire you."
