ARIS's POV
Three days after we visited Sybil, I noticed an improvement in Ellie...
She hugged me when she slept and she smiled when I hugged her back tightly.
She wakes me up when she feels her tummy cramps.
"Sorry to wake you up Aris, they will calm down when you touch my tummy,"
"Don't be sorry, as I told you, tell me everything... Okay?"
"Boys don't kick too much... Be gentle..."
"You see they sleep when you touch them,"
"Naughty boys,"
"Thank you,"
"It's my pleasure, sweetheart,"
Ellie kissed me.
"I love you, sweetheart," I said
"I love you too," Ellie answered
"You're on your 8 months, 5 days... a few days more to go, we will see them and carry them,"
"Yes, I am excited too,"
"Their nursery room is ready. I have packed their things ready in my office in the hospital,"
"If tomorrow will not rain, I will have my morning walk," Ellie
"I'll go with you, so you have to rest now,"
"Okay, goodnight,"
Things are now back to normal though Ellie still taking her mood stabilizers.
Her smiles are genuine now, and her laughs are cracking.
"Baby Dex, Baby Rex we are going to see you soon," Arra kissing Ellie's tummy.
"Yehey!" Ella cheered.
"They kick me!" Arra giggled.
"Me too! Hahaha," Ella
"They will snatch your bread and candies," Ellie
"That will be okay with us Mommy," Arra
"Yes, I will give them mine," Ella
"Wow, very good sisters," Ellie
"Sweetheart, can you still travel?"
"Where to?"
"GenSan,"
"I can. You're going to GenSan?"
"Yes,"
"When, how many days?"
"On Saturday. One day, one night only. I will formally signify my not running for Governor ... So it's a meeting and same time sort of farewell party for me,"
"Ahhh ... Since it's one night only, can I stay at home?"
"Okay,"
