Chexton: Wounded Hearts & Battle Scars

Chasing The Past

*April's pov*
{In the coma having a dream}
[I wake up in my apartment I go into the kitchen and see my parents dancing with no music Ethan comes in with our kids I say:]

"Morning guys."

"Mommy did you know that we have the same names as grandma and grandpa?"

"I did. Hey where's my kisses?"[Gia kisses my cheek so does Rafi I hug them both and say:]"I love you two so much."

"We love you too Mommy. Can we have ice cream for breakfast?"

"I think that's a great idea princess."

"Ethan are you forgetting something?"

"Nope."[I go over to the fridge and get out the fruit and eggs I pour April a cup of coffee go over to her and say:]"Just kidding. Good morning honey."

"Morning."[we kiss slowly Ethan pulls away and says:]

"I waited for you last night."

"I'm so sorry I had parent teacher conferences then track practice and by the time I got home it was late. I tried to call but I guess your phone was dead."

"It's okay. I was just hoping we could go out to Lake Louise for a few days. Just me and you."

"What about me and Rafi?"

"What did we say about eavesdropping young lady?"

"Sorry Mommy."

"That is a good question though. What about the kids?"

"We could keep the kids for a week."

"No Momma it's your thirty fifth anniversary."

"And? What's a better way to spend it than having our grandkids with us."

"Please mommy? Please? Pretty please Mommy?"

"Daddy and I will think about it."

"Come on Momma what's there to think about? You and Dad get to have alone time while we spend time with grandma and grandpa. Please?"

"Rafi we said we'd think about it now go wash your hands for breakfast."

"Are you going to talk about it while we wash our hands?"

"Joseph. Do what your father said."

"Yes ma'am."

[they go into the bathroom Gia comes out crying I kneel down and ask:]

"What's the matter princess?"

"Rafi pushed me out of the way trying to get to the sink and he elbowed me in the face."

"Rafael Joseph get in here."[He walks around the corner and says:]

"Yes sir?"

"Did you push your sister out of the way and elbow her in the face?"

"Yes sir."

"Did you apologize?"

"No sir."

"Apologize to your sister then go to your room and until your mother or I tell you to don't come out. Understood?"

"Yes sir."

"Rafi I just want you to be kind to women and girls."

"I know Dad."

[Rafi apologizes and goes in his room April comes over and kisses my cheek she whispers:]

"I always knew you'd make a great father. How would you feel about going through it one more time?"
