“We have to go shopping for you and for the little ones. And babe, we need to think about to their names, too. “
He nods and we get into the car. “I was thinking about your father's name if you like it,” I start saying.
“Ethan Reed, he would be so proud, and what was your father's name? “
“Alexander”I whisper. Talking about dad still hurts.“He was shot in a mission 8 years ago, I miss him terribly. He would have loved you, you know. “
“I'm sorry, baby.”He takes my hand. “Alexander and Ethan Reed. How do they sound like?”
I smile wiping my tears“I love them.”
The morning literally flies. Around 11, I start to feel tired, but we only went shopping for Logan and the children. Once we finish shopping, we head to picking up Angel from school.
After another three hours my level of fatigue was dangerously at the limit. On the way home, Angel tells us about the algebra exercises where he had to use the method I had explained to her two days ago. She was really happy.
Once home, Logan takes his and the babies’ shopping to our room, while Max brings the shopping bags to Carmen.
I get dizzy which makes me stop. I breathe deeply. But after two steps I feel the ground slip from under my feet and Logan's arms catch me.
“Kate, are you okay? Baby! “I can't open my eyes but I manage to tell him that I need to sleep.
“Logan, she surely got so tired today, she will never tell you that she is tired especially if she has things to do.”
“I noticed that she was tired but so much to pass out? Fuck! It's already the second time it happens and I don't like it at all. “I hear something banging and I try to open my eyes but without results.
“Logan, calm down, she is fine. Get out of here, if you have to break something, go to the gym. She needs rest.”
CHAPTER 23
t’s so quiet here. There is too much silence. I wake up with an absurd thirst and I'm also hungry.
“Hi, baby, how you feeling now?”
“Good, rested”
“Kate, you don't have to go to exhaustion. I don't want anything to happen to you or the little ones. You have to take better care of yourself. And rest whenever you need.”
“I know, I promise it won't happen again, honey. What time is it?”
“Almost dinner time. Tonight there is oven roasted fish with vegetables. “
“I'm starving.”
We go down to dinner and during dessert, we toast to the health of my children. Max was really excited.
“So, sister, should you give birth in April?”I nod.“Then you have 5 months to organize the wedding”
I almost choked“Don't joke, and then I don't have to talk to you about it.”
“For me, its fine, the sooner the better. I can't wait to put my wedding ring on your finger forever. “
“It's a conspiracy. Guys, do you know how much work there is behind organizing a wedding? I don't even know where to start and I don't even know if I will have the strength either. “
“We can always hire a wedding planner, he will do the job for you and you relax,”suggests Nellie
“You, too. It is a conspiracy!! “Ilook at Angel.“And what do you think, princess?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I can take the wedding rings down the aisle, just no candy pink dress, and mom.”I am shocked and they all laugh.
