4 months later......................july 25th 2015
A crying baby made her get up. She winced simpateticaly to her wife.
She felt tired just by looking to her wife. It was 8 am and Mary hadn't slepped at all on the last month, sometimes she looked like a zombie, the dark circles under her eyes, she lost the sparkle in those eyes when she didn't sleep.
The newborn was a screeming machine, he would settle down only after Brook took him in her arms and talked to him, it could be said that it was because Brook's voice soothed him while she talked to him when Mary wanted to rest and he kepped moving in her belly, and it seemed to be repeated after he got out to the world.
Half an hour later, the newborn was peacefully sleeping on his crib. Brook looked back at her tired wife, knelling in front of her side of the bed, caressing her face.
Babe. I think you should take a relaxing bath and than some sleep, you look really jaded. I'll fill the tub and you will move that beautifull body of yours and enjoy your bath, ok? she whispered to her completely tired wife.
I just want to sleep. Even though i feel smelly and stuff, i just need sleep. Mary grunted against her pillow.
If you get up now, i will help you with your bath, and i'll give you a massage until you sleep on me. said Brook smiling to her lover teasing her stomack with her fingers.
With that in offer i'll have to accept it. Ok. answered Mary getting up from the bed.
By 10 am the house was decorated with baloons and any other kind of colorful ornaments to celebrate the birth of the Ericson's first baby boy and the birthday of their beautiful daughter.
Cesar was about to be 1 month old, and his older sister was about to be a 6 year old beautiful young woman. David and Gustavo, his new mate, came to meet the new member of the family, the Mauri came as well bering lots of gifts for the little one and the birthday girl, Grace came later with her new partner, Nelson Ortega, a 67 year old gentleman that came to the states looking for a better life than the one that he had in his country, Brazil. Son of a mexican refugee and a poor brazilian woman, Nelson worked since he was little in a farm that his mother inherited from her parents. On his twenties a gang killed his parents in a flash attack on the farm while he went to town to get some new supplies. After the attack he sold the farm to a known loan shark of the area and came to the states.
Babydolls, little shirts, socks and beanies, 'cause the weather was getting cold at night, were exchanged between hands. New baby lotions and other products were stored in carton boxes on the side of his mother's sofa.
Rachel got a new collection of books offered by Grace,a new doll with lots of clothes to change given by David and new ribbons for her bicycle gifted by the Mauri along with a new pair of wheelie shoes. Her mothers gave her three beautiful dresses that she had been crying for for a long time.
By 2 pm the family shared some lunch time with close friends and neighbors that came by to congratulate the momies for the new baby as well as pampering the birthday girl.
The afternoon was spent on playing cards between the adults, Mathias and Luana ran after Rachel through the yard while Cesar spent his time playing with some stuffed animals on his playpen. After some time David tugged his sister toward the kitchen with a nervous smile on his face.
Mary i want to tell you something that i´ve been thinking about for quite awhile. he said looking toward the backyard through the kitchen window.
What is it, David? Is everything ok? asked Mary caressing his shoulder.
After John died i thought that i wouldn't want to share a life with anyone else, you know. Having a house, and kids and a dog too, ´cause John loved dogs even though i prefered cats i wanted it with him. he took a cleansing breath turning around looking to his sister I think i love Gustavo. Not the way that i loved and still love John, but i think i love Gustavo enought to try to build a serious relashionship with him. All i'm trying to say is that i will ask him to move in with me tonight or maybe tomorrow. Than if he sais yes, i will ask him to share a life with me as my husband, my partner for life. he finished breathing again
Why are you telling me this,David? she asked
I was hopping that you could tell me if i'm beeing too hasty about this. he answered playing with the bottom of his shirt. I know that you know me more than myself and i fell that sometimes i take more than i can handle. Sometimes i fell that you are the wiser between us. he finished looking down to the floor.
Do you fell that Gustavo is in the same page as you about this? she asked taking David's hands on her's He seems to be quite smitten with you. Does it fell right the idea of having him 24/7 by your side? Do you fell that you are prepared to find out what is like to live with him, not having the silence that you are used to, the fact that he can be messy and plainly different after you start on living together? she continued looking into her brother's eyes
I think this is an old case of "nothing ventured nothing gained" as our mom used to say. he said returning his gaze toward the backyard I think i need to move on. he whispered clearing the stray tear that feel from his eyes.
I think you will. said Mary letting him fall on her embrace
A few hours later the visits went home. Cesar was getting grumpy 'cause it was past his time to go to bed, Mary was exausted but she still tried to help Rachel bath herself while Brook took care of their little prince.
After the kids succumbed to sandman the moms came back to their room and started their bedtime routine. Mary was already under the sheets when Brook finished her night routine and came out of the bathroom. Brook never stopped to make Mary breathless even when she wasn't trying she was sucessfull to make Mary swoon and soften her gaze, the brunette seemed to become more beautiful and undescribly sexy with age, Mary's heart never failed to skip a beet and her stomack always fliped making her believe that she had eaten butterflies everytime her eyes catch her wife's form.A smile came to her face when she thought about all that they lived through. If someone have said to her that she would marry Brook and would have children with her, Mary would have laughed in their faces calling them nutcases, but looking at her wife right now, feeling the way that she feels about her babies and Brook she can say that she just won the lifetime lottery and just has to enjoy it for the most.
Knowing that Cesar gave them little time to be free to satisfy their hearts with each other she decided to give her wife a reason to stay up for a little of adult time.
