Chapter 7

1 month later

Dani and the little one are doing well, she's already a month old. We've been talking in the last few weeks about whether they don't just want to stay in their apartment and we'll just have it remodeled a little so that we have 2 rooms in the attic and another bath between doing "hi guys, dinner is ready" my wife calls through the house, I immediately get a grin on my face and the two children storm past me. I also make my way to the dining room, I'm thinking about it the whole time I call my parents "Mom, when are we going to Grandma's" Lola suddenly asks, who is standing in front of me. I pick her up and go into the kitchen with her. "Tomorrow sweetie, now we'll eat," I say and smile at everyone." and Lis, when do you have to go back to work?" asks Dani because I took the last few weeks off with you so that Hanni and Jen don't have to do so much because Lola and Diego sometimes really want to do it all at once and Jen only worked when Lola goes to school and Diego has to go to kindergarten. Hani did that too. I always stayed with her and still helped, which she didn't want to do anymore after 2 weeks, but I did it anyway. "It starts again the day after tomorrow," I say and look on, a little worried and sad Lola then slightly fades away when I see that she is with Diego Rum Albert "Tell me Lis everything is fine, you look so stressed lately" Hanni asks me "everything is fine" I say and continue to eat the other questions Not even after dinner we get up and put everything away. After that I go up to the bedroom and sit on the bed and hold my cell phone in my hand. I didn't even notice that someone had come in until I noticed a hand on my back "Babe is everything good" my wife asks me I look up at her and smile weakly at her she sits down next to me and takes my hands "Lisa darling what's going on I can tell that something is bothering you too" I ask her sadly and worry "It's just since my father wrote that I've been thinking about calling him" I say and put my arms around Jen and let myself fall into her arms "oh ok, babe if you want to call him then do it, if you want I'll stick with it "You" says my wife and puts her arms around me. I notice how a hand is placed on my knee and look at the hand and see that Lola is hers. "Mommy is all good" she asks and puts her hand on mine, Jen lifts it up and sits her between us "yes Mouse, I'm fine, come here" I say and pull her into a hug. She puts her arms around me and I stroke her back until I notice that she has fallen asleep. I lay her on the bed and we go out in front of the bedroom door, I take out my cell phone and go to his number and again just this one tap on the symbol "Honey, if you're not ready yet then we can wait," Jen says next to me and puts her arm around him I turn my head to her "no, I want to do that now and thank you for being here" I say and give her a quick kiss then I turn my attention back to my cell phone and press the receiver

I: sry, it's strange talking to you after so long, what have you been up to the last few years Dad

D: it's okay Lis, I'm no different, nothing big, just work a little bit and just sit around at home

D: Lis, I'm sorry I didn't get in touch sooner

I: It's okay Dad, I was able to get in touch too

D: and how is your life going?

I: pretty good when I'm not at work I do something with Jen and...

"It's okay," Jen asks quietly next to me. I just nod

D: wow still happy together must have been 13 years now or

I: Yep and happily married for 10 years, I didn't even know you knew how long we've been together

D: Well, for the things where your mother didn't belong, I did it

"Mommy" I hear Lola call "Jen can you go to her" I ask my wife who just nods and gives me a kiss on the forehead before she goes in

D: Lis, I just heard that right

I: what do you mean?

D: Lis please I want to be a part of your life you know you can tell me all

D: so answer me this one question do you have children

I: Dad, I know that's what you want to be, but understand that it takes time. We had no contact for 7-8 years

I: and .... Yes, I have children, well only one daughter at the moment but we are currently expecting another child

D: really happy little one and I'm sorry we haven't had contact for so long

"Lis come please" Call Jen from the sleeping room now so I open the door and go in and see that Lola is crying

I: you dad can when else to continue talking

D: yes, what's going on

I: I don't know, thank you dad until the next day

I say and hang up. I put my cell phone in my pocket and go to Lola and Jen. "Hey Mouse, what's wrong?" I ask her in a gentle voice and stroke her arm and she's hugging me. "Ssssh, it's okay, little one, come here " I say and take her in my arms and stroke her back and sit down. "Mouse, do you want to tell me what's going on?" I ask you little one and she shakes her head. I try to calm her down until she falls asleep again. I lay down she has him again and Jen is already downstairs with the others. I was just about to get up when a small hand grabs mine. I turn back to Lola and see that she is crying again so I decide to lie down next to her and calm her down. I will do that just until she falls asleep again, after I notice that she is sleeping again I reach for a book on the bedside table and read a little until I notice that she turns and puts an arm on my stomach, I put a hand on her back and pet her, we're still in the room the whole evening. I only notice that it's late when Jen comes in and lies down next to us. I lie down correctly again and turn so that I can see Lola. Jen puts her arm around me and comes closer to me "and here we go, the little one" she asks me whispers in my ear I just shrugged my shoulders Jen gives me another kiss on the forehead and then we fall asleep peacefully
