Date: Tuesday
Who: Dom, Hannah, Elijah, Debbie
Hannah: *Mom asked me to meet her down at the guesthouse so I head out back and knock on the door.*
Debbie: *I am still in the main house, being anxious about going over to the guest house. I am not sure how you will react to that*
Dominic: *I hear a knock on the door and go to answer, holding Anya with one arm.* Hey, Han. Come on in. *I step away from the door to let you in*
Elijah: *I hear the knock on the door and follow Dom over. Seeing Hannah, I grin* Hey little sister.
Hannah: Thanks Dom. *I enter the house* Hey Lij. Where's my baby? Give me a baby! *I laugh*
Debbie: *I finally build up the courage and make my way to the guest house. I knock hesitantly*
Dominic: You'll have to take William. Anya hasn't slept well so we're trying to get her to sleep. *Anya's head is resting against my chest and she's finally beginning to look sleepy. She's lazily holding onto my shirt with one hand while drooling.* But she eats like a horse though... actually, I think she'd eat one if she was served one. *I laugh, but try not to be too loud*
Elijah: *I hand William over to Hannah and look at the door then at Hannah and Dom* I'll get that. *I walk back over to the door and open it.* Mom?
Debbie: Hey Elijah. *I smile.* Is Hannah here?
Hannah: Over here, Mom. *I sit down on the couch with the baby*
Debbie: *I step into the living room and look at you three* Uhm, I guess I have to tell you something.
Dominic: *I stroke Anya's back, seeing her eyelids begin to close and her grip loosening on my shirt.* You're pregnant, are you? *I joke*
Elijah: *I gasp, not realizing it's a joke*
Hannah: *I laugh at Dom's joke and at Lij* You're getting married? *I grin*
Debbie: No. *I myself have to laugh at Elijah inwardly as he is not getting Dom`t joke.* Maybe you should sit down for that. *I sit down on the couch myself, getting nervous*
Dominic: *I go to sit down, frowning a bit, hoping it's nothing serious like she's dying in cancer or something. Anya has fallen asleep now, finally.*
Elijah: *I follow Dom and sit next to him on the couch, nervous as all hell now.* Mom, what's going on? *I ask as I start chewing on my thumbnail*
Hannah: *I cuddle William in my arms and throw Lij a glare so he'll stop biting his nails, then look over at mom* Everything alright?
Debbie: Don't worry. Everything is perfect *I reassure you, seeing in your faces that you are worried* It is just that I plan on going back to England with Sean... for a longer period of time. *I add*
Dominic: *I look at Elijah and then back at Debbie* How long are we talking here... ? I don't mean to stand in the way of your happiness or anything, but it would be nice to have the grandmother of our newborns around...
Elijah: *I furrow my brows when Mom tells us the news, looking between Hannah, Mom, and Dom.* Umm... Yeah for how long, Mom? *I'm a bit left speechless*
Hannah: *I roll my eyes at the boys and smile at my mother* Well I, for one, am happy for you, Mom.
Debbie: Thank you Hannah *I look back at Elijah and Dominic* For now we are talking about three months approximately but that's just because I can`t just emigrate to England without any reason.
Dominic: You have reasons to leave, but you have even more reasons to stay if you ask me. *3 months I can live with, but I'm not fond of the idea of an older woman leaving her family for a relationship that hasn't even gone on for that long*
Elijah: But... You're just going to leave us? Just like that? *I frown*
Hannah: Shut up, guys. Especially you, Monkey. Mom's allowed to go and do whatever she wants, she's a grown woman who has had to put up with us three kids by herself for all these years. Three months isn't going to hurt us.
Debbie: *I smile at Hannah, thanking her silently for the support* Just because I am in England does not mean I won`t come back to visit you. I just know that Sean and I want to work on a steady life together.
Dominic: Hannah, no offense, but the day you take care of two newly born babies I'll listen to what you've got to say. I can take 3 months, but can't you hold your horses for a while until Anya and William are a bit older? We'll probably be moving to New Zealand in a year's time or so. Can't you wait??
Elijah: *I allow Dom to do the arguing for me as I sit here and try to wrap my head around the concept of my mother possibly moving away.*
Hannah: *I now glare at Dom. Just who the fuck do you think you are.*
Debbie: *I sigh. I somehow knew that this was coming. I shake my head* We don`t want to wait. And as I said, I won`t ge to England never to return. I'll visit you as much as possible and help you out with the kids when you need me.
Dominic: Fine. *I respond sourly, get up from the sofa and walk off to put Anya into her crib. I won't listen to your selfish love ramblings.*
Elijah: *I stare at Dom as he leaves the room. I'm tempted to follow him, but something makes me glued to my seat.* How often will you come home, Mom?
Hannah: *I huff under my breath at Dom as he stalks off to the other room. I swear he's acting like it were his own mother. I don't see him bitching about his mom not coming to visit from wherever they live now. Don't they live in England too? I turn back around as Lij starts to talk*
Debbie: As often as you need me to. I really trust you that you can do this. You two are wonderful and very capable parents. *I try to reassure you*
Dominic: *I put Anya down and she stirs a bit, but settles in quickly, continuing to sleep. I wish my own parents were here. Debbie's been a bit of a substitute mom for me here. They'll come visit soon, but they don't travel much anymore because of dad's bad back. I lean against the crib and look at Anya. William should eat soon, but I want to wait until the others have left. I don't feel like going back out there. Elijah should realise it's time though, if i wait in here for a little bit longer.*
Elijah: I don't know, Mom... Anya's been fussy and William's got that *I point to my ear* problem. *I sigh*
Hannah: Lij, you know you've got me around, I can help with the babies whenever you need me. *And whenever he lets me, I add in my head*
Debbie: Thank you Hannah *I smile at you, you don't know how thankful I am that you are supporting me* I did not say that it would be easy and I can only repeat myself, I will come back whenever you need me but my decision is set. I am going to England with Sean. *I say firmly*
Dominic: *I sit down. Anya is sleeping bad, William has just been diagnosed with child deafness, my own family is on the other side of the Atlantic ocean and home is in the other direction, also far away. I just think it's selfish. I rock the chair with a small sigh. We don't want to wait. Everybody has to wait. I guess she's made her choice and it's not us. Maybe I can get my parents to stay in the main house for a few months. I'm sure they'd like to be close to their grand children for a while. It could work. I'll call and talk to them about it.*
Elijah: *I look down the hallway to see if Dom's coming back, but he's not, so I stand up* I think it's William's feeding time. Let me take him back to Dom. *I pick him up out of Hannah's arms and walk him back to the nursery*
Hannah: *I roll my eyes as Lij walks out of the room, sighing.* He's like a little dog, following along behind. *I mumble under my breath*. Mom, I am happy for you. You deserve to take some time and get away. Look at all you've done for us over the past years. You were the one who dried our tears, who took care of us, who made sure we got our education. You found a man who will take care of you and be good to you and you deserve this. No matter what anyone else tells you. *I move to sit next to you on the couch*
Debbie: *I hug you, feeling tears stinging in my eyes* Thank you princess. I love you. *What Hannah just said was just what I needed right now as I was starting to doubt my decision*
Dominic: *I look up when you come in with William.* Hello, big boy. *I say as I take him in my arms* Are you hungry? *William smiles up at me and is kicking and flailing his arms happily.* I take that as a yes. *I look up at you as I take out my breast for William.* What did she say?
Elijah: *I frown a bit* Hann said she'd be willing to help as much as she can, and Mom says she knows we can do this and she'd come back often. *I sigh* Why is this so hard? I should be happy for her. *I slink to the floor by the door.
Hannah: I love you too, Mom. *I respond, smiling.*
Debbie: *I pull back and lean back on the couch, looking down at my lap* Am I selfish for wanting to be with Sean?
Dominic: *William is eating eagerly. It feels like he's pulling my nipple off. I sigh a bit* Well, I've been thinking... *I say* What if I asked my parents to come stay for a few months? They could stay in the main house... *I suggest, stroking William's back softly.* They haven't been here in a while and with dad's bad back they can't travel a lot. I think it would be easier on them both, and good for us and Anya and William if they were around..
Elijah: *I look up at you, pondering what you just said* That's not a bad idea, actually...
Hannah: No, you're not being selfish, Mom. You want to be happy, and I can tell he is what makes you happy. The boys need to remember this.
Debbie: Thank you. *I smile at you* I am happy with Sean. Not even your father made me happy like this. Not even when we just started dating. *I blush, thinking of how happy Sean makes me*
Dominic: Good. We just need to know when Debbie's leaving and I'll call them and ask. I don't see why they wouldn't accept. They've always loved traveling and always used to move around. This could be the last time they get the opportunity to live somewhere else than England.. and Spain of course. We should talk to Debbie and Hannah about it though. I don't know where Hannah will be...
Elijah: We should... *I reply to your comment about talking to Mom and Hann.* Hannah doesn't go back to school until August. *I sit here and still think about what's going to happen.*
Hannah: *I grin at you, seeing that blush on your cheeks.*
Debbie: Shall we have a look what Dom and Elijah are doing? *I frown slightly as they do not come back*
Dominic: *I hold one hand out to you* Hannah knows my parents, I don't think she'd mind staying in the same house as them until she goes back to school, if she hasn't already left by the time they get here.
Elijah: *I look up at you, then move over to you and take your hand.* It won't hurt to ask.
Hannah: *I shake my head* Maybe we could just call down the hallway to them. *I really don't want to disturb them if they're talking*
Debbie: We`ll give them a few more moments *I smile* Thanks for supporting me *I take your hand and squeeze it*
Dominic: *Dom takes Elijah's hand and strokes it with his thumb* I can't wait for Anya and William to grow up a bit so we can show them the world. *He smiles at William and then at Elijah*
Elijah: *I grin back at you* Our babies...
Hannah: *I look at Mom* I'm gonna call for them. *I stand up and go to the end of the hallway near the nursery door and quietly say Elijah's name.*
Debbie: Thank you princess *I smile at you. When you are gone I am lost in my own thoughts again, thinking about my decision. The only conclusion I get is that I have to go to England with Sean or I will regret it*
Dominic: *Dom looks up when Hannah comes* You're welcome to come inside, Han. *He says. William isn't done yet.*
Elijah: *I look up at the door as Hannah starts to walk through.*
Hannah: *I peek in, not wanting to disturb ya'll or see anything I shouldn't.* Guys, you coming back out? Mom and I are waiting.
Debbie: *I am still in the living room, thinking about this again and again. I get up and make my way to the kitchen, getting myself a glass of water*
Dominic: I'm a bit pre-occupied at the moment. *Dom explains* But you can come in here because we want to talk to you both anyway.
Elijah: *I nod at Hannah then look up at Dom.* I'll go get Mom. *I say as I stand up off the floor and move around Hannah to get out into the hallway, starting to walk down it*
Hannah: Umm.. Sure. *I stand there nervously as Lij moves around me to go find mom. I move to the crib to watch Anya as she sleeps, avoiding looking at Dom while he's nursing.*
Debbie: *I am in the kitchen, literally gulping up the water. I smile at Elijah as he comes in*
Dominic: *Dom glances at Hannah* What's the matter? *he asks*
Elijah: Hi Mom. *I walk over to you and hug you tightly*
Hannah: *I respond quietly* Nothing, just not real comfortable watching you nurse.
Debbie: Hey Elijah. *I hug you back* Did you discuss everything?
Dominic: Oh. *Dom responds surprised, but doesn't comment more on it.*
Elijah: Yeah, Dom came up with an idea we wanted to run by you. Would you come back there so we can talk about it?
Hannah: *I watch Anya squirm around in her sleep and smile at my beautiful niece.*
Debbie: Sure *I smile at you, wondering what you came up with. I follow to where Dom and Hannah are*
Dominic: *William seems to finally be done so Dom puts his shirt back down and holds William so his head is by his shoulder and he rubs his back soothingly.* Elijah and I have an idea..
Elijah: *I open the door and walk into the room with Mom behind me*
Hannah: Yeah? *I say just as Mom and Lij enter*
Debbie: *I smile at Dom and Hannah as we enter the room, waiting for Elijah or Dom to get started*
Dominic: Well. *Dom says calmly* I was thinking I could ask my parents to come over for a few months. They could stay in the main house while you're away. *he says, addressing Debbie* And you go off to school in August, don't you? *he asks Hannah*
Elijah: *I watch both Hann and Mom as Dom talks*
Hannah: Yes I do... But won't that be kind of weird? Them having me around?
Debbie: *I must admit that the idea is not bad* That should work I guess. I thought you two would like to have the main house, but if your parents move in there that`s fine with me. *I smile*
Dominic: They need the main house since my dad has a bad back. *he tells Debbie and then answers Hannah's question* It won't be weird for them- you're family, why would it be weird? We're talking British retired hippies here. *he smiles*
Elijah: *I keep silent as I continue looking between my family*
Hannah: *I look at Lij, then at Mom and finally back to Dom* I guess that'll be alright. It's not like I'll be here all the time...
Debbie: Well, that will be perfect then. *I smile* I'll just have to find out when Sean and I are leaving
Dominic: And I need to talk to my parents.
Who: Dom, Hannah, Elijah, Debbie
Hannah: *Mom asked me to meet her down at the guesthouse so I head out back and knock on the door.*
