Secrets 3

Dee went and stayed with Mother Lane for the day, since it was a custom to be seperated for a day before the wedding. Mother greeted him when he arrived that morning before the wedding. "How have things been at the orphange Mother? Are the kids excited to be going to a wedding?"
"Yes the kids are excited, they're more then happy for you Dee. Things have been rather busy around here lately though."
"How so?"
"Well just last night somebody left there baby on the front steps of this orphanage, with only a note with the baby's name Molly. The poor thing has a nasty bit of caulic too. She can't be more then six months old either."
"Where is she?"
"I finally got her down for a nap the older kids are outside playing basketball and what not. The younger ones are quietly in the art room drawing and what not. So, how have you been Dee?"
"Alright. The wedding is tomorrow afternoon I'm super excited and nervous all at the same time. I hope nothing goes wrong."
"I'm sure it will be lovely Dee. Just lovely, have you and Ryo picked out any names for your children?"
"We did. well, at least for the boy since we don't know what the other is because its stubborn."
Mother laughed. "Oh boy looks like you're going to have your hands full with that one if it really is stubborn."
"Gee thanks." Dee said sarcastically.
"So what is my grandson's name going to be?"
"Jess Franklin Maclean."
Mother smiled "a perfect name for my grandson I expect nothing but the best to come from you Dee."
"Thanks."
"Oh that reminds me come to my office I have something to give you, I forgot to grab it when I went to your baby shower."
Dee followed Mother into her office "let me see now where did I put it?" she asked herself as she rummaged through each and everyone of her drawers in her desk."Ahhah! here it is." She said as she pulled out a book and handed it to Dee.
Dee looked down at the book, The Big Book of Grimm Fairy Tales "what's this for?"
"To read to your kids of course Dee. Don't you remember? ever since you found that book on the shelf you wanted me to read you a story out of it before going to bed everynight. You finally stopped asking for a story about the time you were ten."
Dee nodded. "Thanks Mother, its a very thoughtful gift I'll enjoy reading it to my kids." Dee started opening the book and looking through the various stories. "Oh how are Ryo and Bikky?"
Ryo is just as excited as I am about the wedding, he of course is at work now. Bikky just started going back to school after being suspended for fighting. So it's just Ryo's grandmother alone in our house."
"Is that a wise choice?"
"Oh not to worry Mother, Ryo's cousin Sai is going over there later this afternoon to visit her."
"I see well I better get lunch going for those kids, would you mind getting a bottle ready for Molly?"
"Sure Mother."
The kids as usual were happy to see Dee as they pranced around with happy faces giving Dee hugs. Dee went into the room where Molly was in he came over and peered down at her. She was a lovely baby girl except for the caulic she had deep blue eyes that peered up at him as she sat up.
Molly began to giggle as she outstretched her arms wanting Dee to pick her up. Dee could only smile as he carefully picked up the little girl Dee fed her. Dee loved her golden curls he found himself running his fingers through the little girls hair. After feeding her he deemed it was a good time to check her diaper, he didn't have much trouble with this since he had helped Mother before with the much younger children. Granted that was years ago when he actually changed a diaper. Once he finished changing her wet diaper he brought her downstairs where Mother and the rest of the children were.
"Hey Mother where's Mikey?"
"Oh he and Zoe are out doing who knows what. But not to worry Dee Mikey knows better then to do something stupid."
"Yea well that doesn't mean he wont."
"True, those two are inseperable though. I see a little romance between them."
"Is that really a good thing Mother they're only fifteen after all."
"I am aware of that Dee, I dealt with plenty of teens Mikey and Zoe are no different from the rest of them."
"So your not worried."
"They're around here some place probably playing a game out back like all the other older kids."

Dee spent the rest of that day chatting with Mother about nothing in particular. Dee would occasionally feel a kick from one of the twins every so often, when that happened the kids that were around at the time wanted to feel Dee's tummy. Dee would take some herbal tea that Ryo's grandmother prescribed for him when the twins wouldn't settle down.
Dee began reading a story from The Big Book of Grimm Fairy tales in bed. He read the first story in the book Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Once he finished the story he laid himself down in bed as comfortable as he could, he had a big day ahead of him tomorrow. He closed his eyes to sleep only to be awakened by a sheering pain worst then usual. He sat up in bed and held his stomach as he bit his lip trying not to scream and wake up the children. Soon the pain deceast and Dee atempted to lay back down again only to have the pain come back one more time. He took some more of that medicine, he then waited a little bit before going to sleep. When it seemed that the pain was not coming back he laid back down to go to sleep.
