Chapter 107
1015words
Almost all of them were having marks because of how these two boys were biting on them.
For six months I havent had any restful night.
A night where I would sleep for full eight hours and rest like a normal human being.
These children were making me mad.
So was martha and her mom.
They have started crashing here more but the nights that they weren't present I would suffer the most.
Jonas like the man he was
he was only good at feeding the babies from their bottles.
While I suffered with teething boys in my hands.
I held Ori as Ellanor started cooing to the crying baby.
He wasn't having it.
His fruits were left untouched so was his bottle of water and milk.
He didnt calm down.
He kept throwing tantrums but his brother finally decided to calm down leaving Ori crying alone.
He really was throwing a fuss and when I changed his diaper I touched his forehead and man was he starting to burn up.
I got a sick feeling.
He kept crying and I did everything to calm him down after taking him away from the other babies so that they dont start crying also.
I sat on the bed and placed him on my laps his tummy on my thighs and there he calmed down on letting out small small cries.
I called a doctor because I thought that it was probably a flu and I knew that not long after the rest would have the same symptoms and when we talked he said that he was on his way but said to give Ori some syrup for the fever to go down.
I did that and in less than one hour he was in the house and he was done examining the child who was giggling now.
I was relieved to know that the fever went down and he told me that it was probably some symptoms of teething and advised me to take the baby to the hospital if the fever returns.
Ori looked healthier after his check up and after scribing down some medicine he left the house.
The babies ended up sleeping early after miserably trying to crawl and I thanked the heavens when they didnt wake up after two hours.
I decided to make dinner and dismiss Ellanor who had moved in with her boyfriend to go and spend time with him along with her mother who needed time of her own and started cooking.
Like the bomb ass cooker I was.
I made paella rice and went made some garlic bread and mushroom soup for starters.
Jonas came home when I was done with the mushrooms and bread and paella almost done with it.
After he took a shower and freshener up I regretted not doing the same as I still had the same outfit I took to the hospital except the slippers that I kept on after my legs started complaining.
He helped me make the table and grabbed a bottle of wine.
We sat down in silence enjoying each other's presence after I told him about how Ori had a fever and decided to switch up on me when the doctor got there he laughed at it after I told him that it wasnt something serious then he suddenly started talking about how he was in need of a new secretary and I opted to help him make the recruitment program.
He did agree though but that I wasnt going to be making it alone and I couldn't even be more happier.
We started talking about how our first Christmas as a family went.
Which wasnt that bad but because of how my cousin was hospitalised and how Lola was still in the hospital at that time and how my sister was paranoid.
Ellanor wasnt any better.
At that time she seemed more jumpy but I on the other hand I was happy.
I had a joyful sentiment because for sure I knew that some family rivalry was done.
I knew that I could live in peace with my family that I helped make.
So on that day I baked and cooked for my husband.
We spent the day outdoor in our garden with the babies in the grass.
Obviously on their carpet since these children had a big issue with grass.
It was like they had a hate relationship with it.
So it was easier to keep an eye on the four of them and these children ended up actually scratching each other.
Asnat was surely a fireball after Itai apparels took her toy she tried to snatch it from from him and him being oblivious he kept it in his mouth making her scream with her cries.
Nachman followed shortly.
Basically our Christmas was spent as a whole family.
I couldn't be happier.
New years was another story though.
We decided to go and evade my cousin's privacy.
All of us including my mother Ellanor her mother my dad Leyal and her newly found husband charlotte and Lola and the quadruplets.
We all decided to spend new years with my cousin who was still in the hospital at that time getting better.
It had been two weeks since he woke up from a coma and he was surely surprised.
First to know that he had been knocked out that long and second to see all of us spending new years with him.
We were chased out of the room right after midnight because the doctors complained that it was way past visiting hours and we were making noise for other patients downstairs.
Yeah we had alot of toddlers.
After that we all followed each other to my father's house where I kept down the crying babies and when they hit the bed they dozed off leaving the adults alone.
I got wasted after one hour.
But I remember we all talked.
We caught up with each other making stories and giving out old time stories especially when we were kids.
