Today is the day we go back home to Indianapolis. We spent the rest of the holiday going to museums, going shopping again, and going to dinner with the new and improved Peter Van Houten. He's moving to Indianapolis next week. Lidewij and Bas are moving in a month.
Isaac, Kaitlyn and I are in the taxi on the way to the airport.
"This has been such an amazing trip. I can't wait to come back some day." Kaitlyn says.
"Yeah. Thanks for using your wish on this amazing trip Isaac." I say.
"No problem. I had to use it at some point." He says.
"When's your next appointment with the midwife Hazel?" Kaitlyn asks me.
"Uh, when I'm sixteen weeks so in three weeks. Then I have another one at twenty weeks to find out the genders." I say.
"Okay. Can I come to them?" She asks.
"Of course you can." I say. "You can too Isaac, if you want." I add.
"Yeah please." He says.
"You know, I think I might start driving lessons." Isaac says.
"You should. You can see again so it would be a lot easier now." I say.
"Yeah, also I wouldn't have to rely on other people to get me to places all the time." He says.
"Yeah." I say.
...
We have now landed back in Indianapolis and we are on the escalators that go down to the lobby where my parents should be waiting for us.
I see my mum and dad waiting for us and as soon as I'm off the escalator I run to my mum and embrace her. Tears start falling from my eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth." She says.
"Don't worry about it." I cry.
"Did you have a good trip?" She asks.
"Yeah, it was great." I say.
"Good. Let's go home." She says.
I nod and let go of her before embracing my dad.
We go to the car and drive home, our luggage in the boot. Kaitlyn and Isaac by my sides, my parents in the front.
We drop Kaitlyn and Isaac off at their homes before actually going home. But, when we get home we all sit on the sofa, me in the middle, my hand on my baby bump which is bigger now than it was when I left.
"So, what did you guys do on holiday?" My dad asks.
"Uh, we went to the Anne Frank House where we saw Lidewij and her boyfriend, we also went to dinner with them. We went shopping twice because Kaitlyn wanted to. We went to see Peter Van Houten and he wasn't a drunken idiot this time. He's moving to Indianapolis next week, Lidewij and Bas are moving here in a month. Peter is also going to write another novel. It's going to be about Gus and I. We also went to some museums that Gus and I wanted to go to but didn't have the time to go to them." I say.
"That's great. I'm glad you had a good time." My mum says.
"How are you feeling mum?" I ask.
"Tired. But I'm okay." She says.
"Are you in pain?" I ask. I asked Gus the same thing.
"No. I'm not in pain." She says.
"Good." I say.
"Hazel, I'm sorry that I'm not going to be there for you and the babies. But, I promise that every day, until the day I day, I will be there for you. We can do whatever you want to do and we'll do it together. As a family." My mum says.
I feel tears pooling in my eyes again.
"Okay." I say as a tear slips out of my eye.
"I love you." She says.
"I love you, too." I say.
"Do you want to watch some top model?" She asks me.
"Sure." I say.
So we sit there, the three of us, watching ANTM. But, I don't really pay attention to what we're watching. Instead I think about my babies and what their lives are going to be like. I think about Isaac. I think about Kaitlyn. I think about Van Houten. I think about Lidewij and Bas. I think about my parents. I think about Gus' parents. I think about Gus.
I think about our little infinities
