Orphan in Limbo

--- A Week Later ---
--- 6th of November, 1962 ---

A week has passed since the odd Halloween the Howards had.

Today the weather was almost the same as a week ago. Namely rainy and cloudy. The daylight hours have already died as the evening ones dawned in Vermont.

Since the gruesome accident with Leah's failed invasion of the Howards' mansion, thanks to Frank, who spontaneously controlled the things in the tough situation, howsoever, the Leah hasn't perturbed their privacy since then. Moreover, the redhead was still in Vermont, despite the fact, she was attending regularly a psychiatrist which occupied her schedule, whereas Elsa was supposed to arrive in the beginning of November, in spite of her delay and to bring  her protège, Leah, back in Florida by continuing with their musical shows.

Jude and Odette were slightly more humongous, unlike the last weeks especially on Halloween. Moreover, the juvenile singer hasn't attended any clubs to entertain the audience with her silver-tongued singing voice, as a result of the final trimester which was fatiguing her and expecting her unborn child to emerge in the world within less than 2 months. At last but not least, Odette hasn't seen Kit for a few weeks, although they daily phone one another by spending a handful of hours on the phone with exception when something important occurs as a task.

The cataract of rain drops assaulted the ground by drenching everything, whereas lighting bolts jolted down by shaking the ground and causing eletroshocking apprehension among the both pregnant ladies. Dim wind blew as the crispy, soaked in rain dew leaves were blanketing the ground. The rain drops clinked the closed windows of the two-story mansion.

It has been raining for a couple of hours as if God's weeping was looped.

In the interim, Jude and Timothy were seating on the comfortable leather sofa in the living room as they were looking at their own photos when they were younger. Despite the weariness of the violent unborn twins' kicks in the pregnant belly, Jude's cradling smile across her lips, shaping a crescent form by glimmering vibrantly didn't allow her to stop the laughters and ecstatic exclamations even when the baby kicks were the most vigorous.

At the moment, the juvenile singer was upstairs by speaking on the phone with Kit since he wasn't being busy with further housework or chores at all. She has already taken a long catnap for a few hours and she's still mildly drowsy, incapable of ultimately coming to her senses.

"Look at yarself, Tim!" The blonde pointed gamely at the old polaroid photo of Timothy, when he was a five-year-old boy, photographed with his siblings in front of his mansion's porch along with his mother and father by a professional photographer. On the polaroid photo were visible glistening orbs, directed to the camera with sparks of genuine nirvana and effulgence as the shining smiles on their faces. "So that's yar family in London, if I'm not mistaking myself?"

"Yes, it's!" He affirmed her response as the both adults chuckled, whereas she patted playfully his kneecap as her scooped petite hand lightly tickled his pant's fabric. "Those are my siblings Esmeralda and James." His finger pointed directly in the right side of his five-year-old version, which posed for the family photograph. In the interim, the former sister of the church, hummed by nodding her head in excited manner as in the corner of her hazelish-brown orb followed his long, dexterous index finger tipping the childish faces of a girl and a boy. "And that's my older brother, Seth with my father Jamie and my mother Karen!"

"They look so radiant!"

The truth was Jamie and Karen were Timothy's parents as they were still living in the London's outskirts in their grandiose, luxurious mansion. Even more he had 2 older brothers, named Seth and James, whilst Esmeralda was the youngest family member with 2 years Timothy's junior. When the photo was photographed back in the early 20s, the both adults in the photo were actually in their late 20s as they have decided to have children after finishing their education at last since the education was remarkably, inescapably substantial, in their opinions. Subsequently, James and Seth are eventually twins as they were with 3 years older than their younger brother.
