Sanem was correct it was a crazy busy day, with them heading back to Istanbul, the yacht had to be packed and cleaned for when they arrived. She had just laid Yildiz down for morning nap when her telephone rang.
"Hello."
"Abla" Leyla yelled into the phone.
Sanem smiled as she held the phone away from her ear, for some reason Leyla thought she had to scream to be heard.
"Abla, you do not need to scream into the phone, I can hear you." she laughed.
"Is it true, Anne, said you are headed home?"
"Evet, we should dock at the estate in two days, if the weather stays good."
"I am so excited, Aziz and Baba have been working hard to get your home ready. And Anne, Mirhiban and I have a surprise for you."
"A surprise! What kind of surprise?"
"A good one." she laughed "I cannot wait to hold my beautiful niece."
"Ah! well, that is if Can will give her up. He seems to think she is only his."
"Well, we will see about that. Call me when you are close to the estate, we all want to meet you at the dock."
"It might be late, I am not sure what time Can thinks we will arrive. But we have had good head winds so the trip surely want take that long."
"Listen to you talking all sailorish."
Sanem laughed, they talked for a few more minutes and she finally told Leyla she needed to get back to work while the baby was sleeping.
Can was on top and putting away things he didn't think they would need for the rest of the journey when Sanem walked out. They stared at each for a few minutes then Can held open his arms for her to walk into. They hugged each other tight, knowing that when they arrived home, they would not have a minutes peace.
"Leyla called, they want to meet us at the dock. I told her it might be late." she sighed.
"Sanem, are you not ready to go home?"
"Evet, I am. It's just I know that I will miss it just being the three of us. You know they will not leave us alone for a while, they will visit everyday and the three of us, even just the two of us will not have the time we had on the yacht together."
Can held her closer then smiled.
"You know the Nenes, grandmothers, will want to have Yildiz to themselves. That will give us time to spend together alone."
"Oh, Can, Evet! I did not think of that. Let's hurry and get home then."
Can shook his head at his wife, he loved her with all his being. The two years they had been away had given them the time to heal and to get to know each other better. Then when Yildiz came along, they had gotten to know each other as parents. Their family unit was strong and Can savored this time with just his wife and daughter.
He knew, though, that time was coming to an end. Their families would be to involved in their lives and he would not have it any other way.
