Crystal Visions.

Kind of woman that'll haunt you...

Stevie's POV: 

It's almost midnight, Aaron has gone out with a bunch of friends, Lindsey just arrived home from being in the studio for a few hours. I watch him on the couch on the other side of the room, he's just finished digging into Ella's satchel and found her favourite book '' The great works of Alexander Pushkin'' she loves Poetry, especially Alexander Pushkin. I've introduced her to Edgar Allan Poe, she likes his work but prefer 'Pushkin'. As Lindsey is reading, Ella is asleep beside him. Her head resting on his lap, her legs taking up the rest of the room on the couch, one hand is lying on her stomach the other dangling down from her. Lindsey twirls a strand of her hair in his fingers, his other free hand holding the book, I can hear him humming to himself. I watch Ella squirm, I chuckle, it's been years since I've seen her gently wriggle in her sleep to get comfortable. She turns her body, her back now facing me. 

'' Aw that is so cute'' Karen laughs looking at Ella fast asleep on Lindsey, while he's happily enjoying her company and her book. '' Lindsey looks he's not going to put down her book anytime soon.'' I reply. 

He seems very intensely into it, Dave, Lori, Sharon, Karen and I myself as well as the company of my beautiful other half and the littlest of our babies, are all here in this room where we record..etc. Ella was watching us, and reading her book. She's been very, very quiet lately, even Persi (her private teacher) says that Ella's been quiet. She also said that Ella nearly fainted, Another strange thing happened, Aaron asked her if she wanted to go and see how his house was coming along, she ''NO! I won't go there!'' she spat out and ran upstairs. I tried to get it out of her, if something was bothering her, but she assured me everything's fine she just wasn't feeling well. With some tea and some aspirin I saw her get back to her spirits in no time.   

I must say the recording of this 'new album' so far is one of the best times of my life. Aside from getting married to Lindsey and having our children. But creatively this feels like such a high for me, and I'm having so much fun. When Lindsey and I are in our Fleetwood Mac it's very 'Intimate' and by intimate I mean 'it's no one else's business but the people who are involved.' and everyone is strict with everything. I have been laughing so much with Dave and everybody around, and we've been having so much fun, there's never a dull moment. We dance a lot, we sing a lot, we just have a ball! it's like one big kid party...Except for the fact that I have a fifteen year old, who like her father can be the voice of reason.       

I hear the front door unlock, and footsteps tread the front hall way. I hear a soft voice or two, must be Aaron he went out a couple of hours ago. He walks into the room '' Hey guys'' everybody greets him '' Hey Aaron'' I notice that he seems a bit jumpy, he's shaking a little. He turns his head and says something in Arabic?. Someone's with him, someone who speaks or is Arabic?. Just then he holds out his hand to someone, I see someone's hand grab it, and the hand comes out from the corner to reveal the beautiful young lady with him. '' Mom, Dad this is Nadine. I-we dated for a couple of years while I was living in Beirut Lebanon.'' I put my glasses on so I can see Aaron and her properly. Aaron turns on the light so everyone can see better. I see her standing by Aaron holding his hand, she's a few inches shorter than him, she has long light brown hair that's been styled into perfect smooth curls, she's fair, very slender but her hips curve perfectly with her frame. Her eyes are small but I see the pale smokey blue colour from here, her nose is very aquiline and her lips are plump and her cheeks are little too. 

'' Nadine, these are my parents.'' He points us out, ''And these are my mother producers and friends, she's working on another album.''. Nadine smiles '' Hi'' she says, her accent is a very strong lebanese accent. She's stunning! I have to say, Lena was a gorgeous girl and so lovely, and now Nadine. Aaron never told me about her. I stand up from my seat, '' Hello Nadine, it's lovely too meet you'' I open my arms up to her, she smiles as she takes my hands and I hug her. '' Mom, we're just going to be in the other room, talking okay?'' I smile and let them have their privacy '' It was nice to meet you'' Nadine adds, '' And you dear.'' I say. '' Oh do you want me to take Ella up to bed?'' he ask, I look back to see her still lying fast asleep in the middle of the room. '' Yes that would be great thank you.'' I watch him lift Ella up off the couch he then points out the direction of the kitchen to Nadine. I watch Aaron carry Ella upstairs, my heart almost burst seeing all my children being so close and very well bonded makes me feel so, so, overjoyed.
