When I met him (Completed)

Part 26 - The Farm

Sam called Richard and asked them to the farm too and we're all flying out that way. We already flew out to the farm on Wednesday. We hired farm workers when I brought Sam here the first time and everything looks so well kept. We got to the farm and Sam is gone. He is working and helping all over. I got the twins fast asleep in the nursery. I walk out to Karien and Stephan's tiny home to make sure everything is in order when they arrive Friday afternoon.

I walk through the lounge, kitchen, dining, two bedrooms and finally the bathroom. I opened the cupboards and it is stocked except the closets in the two rooms. That they need to bring themselves. Everything looks in order I lock up their home and walk back to our house.

I want to do something so instead, I decide to go back into town and buy Lucinda some things for the farm. I got her some high-quality jeans with some nice shirts and work boots that have some cute animal prints on them. Hoping she will like it. Lance drove me and the twins back home and I got the clothes all washed, dried and ironed before I stock her closet in mom and dad's tiny home.

I was walking back when Sam came to search for me. I was locking up mom and dad's place when he found me.
'There you are, love. I was wondering where you ran off to. It looks like the Heughan's will be joining us after all. Since Monday next week will be a public holiday.' In London, there are only eight public holidays all year. As for South Africa there we had thirteen days across the year.
'That will be great seeing everyone again.' Sam held his hand for me to take. I took his hand and held on to his arms as we walk back to our house.

'So Mrs. Heughan what have you been up to today?'

'As a matter of fact, I went into town, I got us some few fresh products and got Lucinda some farm working gear. I think we need to distract her and get her engage in good clean farm work. It will get her focusing on something other than her current situation.'

'It all sounds like you mean well sweetheart but reality will be the true meter which we can measure this whole experience.'

'Of course.' We walk into the house and wash up so we can tend to dinner I put on the stove.

'I went to check on the green tunnels and you should see our crops love. They look lovely.' Sam uttered after a while. 'Robert and the boys are keeping everything under control.' Robert McBride, our farm manager he lives in Kirk Michael and drives in and out to the farm.

'That is great. I would really like to see that. Maybe tomorrow morning after breakfast.'

'Perfect.' He smiled while cutting up green salad ingredients. I started to roast potatoes. When the roasted potatoes were done we sat down and ate our dinner. The twins are in their feed chairs with us at the table and when we were done eating did we turn to them and feed them my homemade spaghetti bolognese I made especially for them.

Making your own baby food is cheaper and you know exactly what goes into it. Once they had enough we took them upstairs and gave them baths. Sam sat playing with them on our room carpet while I'm taking a quick bath. When I was dressed for bed I set out and took over from Sam while he took a bath. They both sat with a block in their hands as they chew it. I took my phone and took a couple of photos and a nice five-minute long video. Sam sway out of the bathroom and they looked up at daddy and smiled at him.

'Hello.' He spoke sounding more like a 'scooby doo' character and made them laugh. He did it over and over and I took another five-minute video where Sam and the twins played peek-a-boo with Sam. Once the boys had enough they started to rub their eyes and we rock them to bed with a bottle of milk I pumped from myself earlier.

'You know they are growing up to fast.' Sam whispered while we rock them to sleep.

'Tell me about it. We're with them twenty-four seven and still, you can hear them grow like grass in the summer.' Sam nod his head and chuckled lightly. We lay them in their cribs and climb into bed ourself. Sam lay with his back towards me and I slide closer and held him as I kiss his shoulder. He held my arm and we fall asleep.
