Chapter 63: 35th Week

Some weeks later...

Lisa P.O.V.

I had decided to not write a letter and had instead called my mom on the day after the meeting with some of my brothers and sisters.

The call was short, thanks to Dad, who came to the wrong date home and it ended quickly, but I had told her the most important.

Flashback

Nervously I wrapped my hair around my fingers when I put the phone to my ear.

"She's your mom.", I tried to calm myself, waiting that she replaced the peep-mark, with her wonderful voice.

"Lynne Cimorelli.", she answered.

I held my breath. She has deleted my number, just like it had certainly done Dad.

"It's ... Hi Mom.", I swallowed hard and looked down, as I sat down on Harry and my bed. "Here is Lisa."

She didn't answer, but I heard how she took a shaky breath.

"I read your letter.", I continued. "And I understand if you don't want or can't talk to me, but please listen to me, will you?"

She said nothing and didn't ended the call, so I took that as a sign that I should continue.

"I'm ... Mom, I should have known. You were always there. You always stood on my side, by my side. In front of me and behind me, if something happened. And I was so stupid ... ", tears were running down my cheek. "... I was so stupid to think that you repel me, deny me because I disregarded the rules. But I have so often broken them, just not to this extent."

I paused and took a deep breath.

"I'm in trouble, but you know that. You saw it and certainly the other told you, my sisters. And I should had read the letter rather, but maybe the timing was just right. I want to know you at my side, no matter what. I want that you are in the life of your grandson or granddaughter, Mom. I need you by my side. I need my mom, because without my mom I can't do that. I say them ... that I'm strong, but you know what ... ", I closed my eyes. "... I'm not strong. I'm a wreck and have fear of the next day. I'm afraid, from what is coming towards me."

"Lynne?", I heard my father's voice before steps approached at the other end. "With whom are you talking?"

"With no one."

And she hung up.

Flashback end

Since then I hadn't heard from her. I was in the 35th week and it all works well. I was in pain two weeks ago and got banned - by Jo - so I couldn't do more stuff. I kept it. There were, after all, only five weeks until it was over ...

"Lise?", I looked up from the book and looked straight into the worried face of Harry.

"Why are you looking so worried again, Harry?", I smiled and stroked his cheek as he reached me.

I had made myself comfortable on the couch because it had started to rain outside in streams, a few hours ago.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds and we were just waiting for the storm. The trees were now bare and temperatures fell ever further. We headed anyway to winter.
