BETH'S AND RAIGA'S HOME, night<br/><br/>Using this special chance her mind sped up and was racing on one hundred and twenty percent to figure out the best way for each other and the most appropriate welcome to the tiny third one they wished so much.<br/>The bedroom?... No... Though it was silky and soft... well, nothing memorable if it was about the creation of a new life, the calling of a spirit here, down, to Earth...<br/>The living room... Doing it maybe in his favourite seat?... Well, that would have been wild and fun... But not 'elevated' enough for receiving a baby right from Heaven, a winged little angel...<br/>For some reason she always imagined 'it' like that. Maybe it was naiv, maybe it was just a 'pinkish', girl-like fantasy but she really loved Michelangelo's painting of those two puttos, leaning their heads against their palms. She even had an image of that, framed and hung above her side of their bed.<br/><br/>And<em>tonight</em>! Tonight maybe one of those little angels will visit them... She hoped one, not two, mainly because of Billie. Still with one she's gonna have enough difficulties to match the baby's needs with their Big Boy's but she kept on being optimistic.<br/><em>'I won't be alone. I won't be alone.'</em>, that was her mantra.<br/>They're gonna have enough help, especially that the latter one will spend weekdays in a dayboarder school, which meant a huge help for the parents but saved the mornings and evenings for the family.<br/>After they finnaly get him out of that hospital, she won't take more night shifts or coverings. No Christmas Eves and Easters on duty.<br/>She'll be a<em>mother</em>.<br/><br/>While her mind was daydreaming like this her hands were working with the decoration of the terrace on the storey, from where an enchanting view was enjoyable, to the surrounding mountains and farther to the city. A few more houses around. They weren't completely alone - it was important for Beth. Yet here they had the chance to reatreat and destress, at last! Who could imagine a better place for a small child to grow up and for a troubled mind to re-discover the world around?<br/>They already chose and decorated somewhat Billie's room, not next but close to their own room and they were also wondering where to spot the other child's nest?...<br/><em>'Fine, fine, just fine...'</em><br/><br/>She was humming sweetly while she lay a soft mattress on the wooden boards of the terrace and a clean, creamy-white fragrant sheet and a beige thermo blanket on it, setting up the baldachin of screen above to protect their bodies from mosquitos, encircling their island with medium sized torches as the only source of light. Crickets were playing their music so enthusiastically there was no need for any other tune.<br/>Here she led Raiga and settled him down.<br/>Once again she kissed this man she never stopped loving and placed a finger on his lips tenderly.<br/>"Wait for me..."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
