While Anna advanced in her pregnancy and in her confusion about Neil and Remington, the latter had his hands full with the final stage of the renovation. The constructors had worked very hard to put railings to the roof and stairs to the towers.
Anna didn’t get much time to worry about Felicia’s words, because the baby announced it’s coming three weeks before the due date. Anna was a bit worried about the baby being so early, but she tried to concentrate on the contractions and on trying to relax between them. Both Remington and Beau stood by her side and tried to encourage her saying she was doing very well.
Life continued peacefully for the Flowers family. While Remington was working hard as a politician, Anna had most weekdays off and had enough time to spend with her daughter Barbara. After giving birth to two sons, a little girl in the house was a welcome change. She just couldn’t get enough of the cute giggle whenever she tickled Barbara.
Maybe Neil’s ghost felt something was bound to happen to this family, but on that night he decided to go hauting for the first time. He went straight to the easel and applauded like he had just sold one of his famous masterpieces.
Early in the morning, Anna and Beau sat together for the serious talk Anna had to have. As gently as possible, she tried to tell him he is going to have a little brother and sister. Fortunately he took that message very well and he seemed even looking forward to not being the youngest anymore.
When it came to Remington however and his relation to the little baby, a heavy silence fell. First Beau was fidgeting with his trousers and staring. But then he suddenly jumped off and stormed into the garden.
Neil had had orders to grab the cake, but that wasn’t as easy as it had seemed. At first, the silly cowhead went backwards, so Neil couldn’t possible get to his head. Then the head came close to Neil. It was the first time he had a feeling this couldn’t end well.
While Anna was at the mall, Neil grew up to become a teenager, as his brother without any festivities. Basil didn’t care so much, because he felt the atmosphere in the family wasn’t really like party-time. He just as much liked growing up all alone and decided his own aspiration by himself.
“Hallo”
“Felicia, this is me, Anna. I really have to talk to you.”
“Calm down, Anna. Please tell me what’s going on.”
“Oh, Felicia. something terrible happened.”
With a new baby in the house, some routines changed a bit. Anna and Neil sometimes had to wake up in the night to feed Beau and change his diaper. And they had to spend more time with Basil to make sure he didn’t get jealous at his younger brother.
But these were only minor changes. Anna still liked spending time with her kids and Neil only spend time working and painting. All he seemed to talk about was earning 100K and getting his next promotion. He was very close to becoming a Business Tycoon, so Anna didn’t say a thing until he had fulfilled that want.
Basil was doing very well at school and he had already made a friend too. Orlando Bertino became a regular visitor at the Flowers home. Basil and Orlando would play chess for hours or just do MaryMack. Sometimes Anna was wondering how quickly Basil had grown up and had his own world.
Anna had witnessed some births during her time at the hospital. But experiencing one herself is a different story all together. She had never known it would hurt as much and she clamped her belly in pain. How long did she have to endure this?
