Bundle of Joy (Tintin fan fiction) Story 3

Chapter Five

The sunlight shone through the fog that blanketed the train station. Many bustled about, and even though everyone was going to different destinations, each had journey ahead.

The train was about to arrive when Captain Haddock trudged through the crowd looking red in the face and miserable.

"Why in the seven blue seas, do you decide to take this much luggage with you?"

Bianca in her fluffy orange dress stood out from the crowd, but to some not in a good way.

"Why thank you Captain. It was very considerate of you offering to carry my things." She smiled and led the way for the group.

The Captain scowled and muttered,"I never offered."

Coming behind him Tintin chuckled and patted him on the shoulder,"Now Captain we don't want to be unkind to our hostess."

Ella came up beside Tintin through the crowd," Tintin, don't you feel sorry for him?"

He couldn't help but smile," Yes but also it's quite funny."

Ella rolled her eyes, " You two."

"Doing ok there Mother?" William grinned.

Ella's eyes widened,"William I am not your mother," she laughed.

He winked and adjusted luggage in his arms,"But you'll be one soon."

She blushed and her smile was bright as ever, "Lets hope it's once we get back home."

William smiled and nodded,"I'll see you soon, right now I am needed somewhere."

Ella watched as he wove his way towards Laura who was helping their maid with the remaining luggage.

Soon they were all loaded and quietly on their way through a journey they'd always remember, Tintin was sure of it.

Snowy found his spot in the sunlight coming through the window and was content.
Ella sunk into her bottom bunk and happily sighed,"This is lovely."

He climbed to his own bunk and then leaned over the edge,"it is isn't it?"

Ella couldn't help but laugh and she tried to look over her stomach,"Yes it is. Tintin, I cannot believe we're about to have a baby."

"Darling, I believe it's a little too late for that."

"No-Tintin," she laughed, "you know what I mean!"

He came down the small ladder and grinned at his beautiful wife,"I do."

He sat down and brushed her hair from her face,"I love you Ellie."

She took his hand in hers and smiled,"And I you."

He gently rubbed her stomach,"I want you to know that I don't care if our baby is a boy or girl, as long as it's healthy."

Ella's eyes filled with tears and she smiled and put her hand on his,"I feel the same."

"Can you imagine the sound of little feet running through our apartment?"
