Part Forty Two: Gimme Your Hands

July, 29, 1987.

Another early day had arrived, I woke up stretched with a feeling that it would be a better day than the day before.

"Good morning darling." David said as he walked into the bedroom with a toothbrush in his mouth. I looked at David, "Hey, how are you feeling now?" I asked with a yawn.

David spat out the toothpaste into a cup he held in his left hand, "Much better, much better than yesterday anyway." David said with a small smile on his face.

I got out of bed, "That's good to hear baby, that's why you're up so early." I said as I kissed David's cheek. "I felt like getting up a bit earlier today, after all we're on vacation on the boat. Oh, and I've already changed the twins by the way." David said as he walked to the bathroom.

I yawned and walked over to the twins who were almost asleep again in the sleeping box, it was still a bit too early for them. I rubbed both their tummies, "Good morning little angels, how did you both dream?" I whispered softly. Archie heard my voice, he opened my eyes and woke up with a cute little scream.

"Calm down little boy, it's still early, isn't it. Well, sleep on for a few more hours. Then mommy will feed you." I said softly again in a calm voice, Archie gave me a huge look. I chuckled softly and put the pacifier back in his mouth. Archie sucked on his pacifier, and a moment later he slept through.

David came to stand next to me and put an arm around my neck, "They sleep nicely, don't they." David said softly. I nodded, "How precious we have left behind." I said with a sigh.

"I completely agree, I am so sorry that I no longer have contact with my mother. I would like to introduce my children to her." David took a deep long sigh. I kissed David on the jaw, "Everything will be fine, my baby."

David hugged me tight and lifted me up, "Oh I'm so glad you're feeling better!" I said as I buried my head in David's neck. "Me too, now is the day I can go out with my precious family!" David said in a happy voice.

I looked at the clock, it was just eight o'clock in the morning. David let go of me and put me back on the ground. "Would your parents be awake yet?" David asked as he put on some pants. "My mom and dad are early risers, they always get up at six in the morning." I replied.

After many hours we had moved on for a few hours. The sun had broken out again and we had almost arrived at the harbor where we temporarily left our boat behind.

We had delicious breakfasts. David took it easy with food because he got very sick the day before. But slowly, everything got better.

Me and David had gathered all the towels and I had put on my bikini. Because near the harbor, there is a mega beach. And we wanted to take a dip in this beautiful summer vacation day.

My mother put on her summer hat and put on her sunglasses. "This feels better." She said to herself. I smeared my arms with sunscreen to protect me from the hot sun.

David sat down on the chair with a sigh and got a little warm. As a joke, I smeared sunscreen on David's face with my finger. "You don't get burned that way." I smiled. David closed his eyes, "Put the sunscreen all over my face."

I smeared the sunscreen on David's face with my finger, and something funny happened. The sunscreen makes David look like a ghost. I chuckled, my mother joined in the laughter.
