Slipping Through My Fingers

Rolled her eyes

Amelia-Lily stood in front of the fireplace, posing with one hand on her hip, "just like Mummy and Auntie Jo" she said. Janette rolled her eyes, 5 years old and she knew how to pose in front of the camera, fluttering her eyelashes...Janette knew that she would definitely be the prettiest girl in her class...Charlie was also starting school that day but was not in the same class as Amelia-Lily, Janette and Karen were kind of glad of this, no one else would stand a chance otherwise, break times would be bad enough....poor teachers.... Sasa lent against Janette and looked up at her, her big brown eyes gleaming up at her mother, an innocent smile drawn across her face. Janette smiled back and kissed her cheeks. "Come on then...you don't want to be late on your first day now do you?" Janette said as she got up from the sofa. Amelia-Lily rushed to grab her coat, suddenly telling everyone to "hurry up or you'll make me have no friends"...her words. Janette sighed and rolled her eyes, where had the last years gone? They still remembered holding her for the first time in her arms, clutching at her finger. Amelia-Lily ran up the slope to her class room, pulling Janette and Aljaz along behind her, after already dropping Sasa and Leonardo off at the childminder, despite Amelia-Lily's protests. She kissed her parents on the cheek before dashing into the classroom, waving as she went. Typical Amelia-Lily...brimming to the top won't confidence...hardly fazed by anything. Just as Janette and Aljaz passed the classroom window, edging closer to the school gate, they heard a tap at the window above their heads. They looked up the find their daughter waving and blowing kisses goodbye, they smiled and rolled their eyes as they heard a teacher call for her to get off the chair and that chairs are for our bottoms not our feet...Amelia-Lily laughed and rolled her eyes before jumping off he chair, landing firmly on 2 feet. God help her teacher....

Once Aljaz and Janette arrived home they ran upstairs to the bathroom, clutching the plastic bag holding the object which would determine whether or not there would be a new member joining the family. "How long has it been now?" Aljaz asked for the millionth...that was probably the longest 30 seconds of their life...Janette sighed, "God you're worse than Mils...16 seconds left," Janette said checking the timer on her phone. Aljaz paced the room, he didn't know how Janette looked so calm, then again she had done this 2 times before now....
The timer went off, breaking the silence between the couple. Aljaz leapt up, Janette covered up the tests, not looking at the result, she held out the tests to Aljaz, "you check," she said. "You sure?" Aljaz asked, this was her baby too. Janette nodded. Aljaz took the tests and uncovered the result...Silence...Janette chewed her lip, was silence good or bad..."well?" Janette said, he was making her nervous now. Aljaz looked up at his wife, a big smile on his face. "We're going to have another baby!" He said with glee. Janette screamed with joy. Aljaz scooped Janette up in his arms, spinning her round and round in circles, her legs wrapped tightly round his waist, he kissed her before planting her back down on the floor..."We're really going to have another baby!" Janette cried. Aljaz nodded, he placed his hands on her tummy.."another addition to our growing family......"
