FOREVER IN BLOOM

"Jack can you hear what Mommy is saying? "

"No Jenny. I am not able to hear anything. I think mommy is gonna take a nap now. Let's sleep too. Anyway, we are safe and sound in in here. You know Mom's gonna take good care of us right?"

"Yes Jack I know, but I don't know why... somehow I feel that, mom does not love us anymore, as she used to before. Oh how sweet her voice is...she used to sing such good songs...but not anymore...did you not notice? Also dad used to make us laugh often." 

"Jenny dear...mom might not be feeling very well ... and dad might have gone off to work far away, like he did last month. I assure you,there is no need to worry. After all its just a matter of few more days ... that's what I think. I can't grow anymore bigger. Sleep well dear ... any day now ... we will be able to get out from here and snuggle up with mommy.

"Dear Jack, how sweet you are. I feel a lot better now. Yes, I simply can't wait to see them, to hear mom sing and hug her tight. I wonder how its gonna be out there. After hearing all the lovely voices from outside...I think its going to be amazing. Dear God, please send us out fast."

"Yes dear, let's patiently wait and see for ourselves, what God has planned for us, in the great world beyond. Now sleep fast."

"Alright Jack"

"But Mariam..." 

"Please John ... please ... you will love them, I promise ....they will be like two little fawns, running here and there. And our home will be for us Heaven on earth ... our babies will be like two little Angels and we, their guardians .I want them John ... I want to raise them. I want us to give them, all our love, from this moment on. 

"Yes Mariam ... but what about the money ... how can we bring them into this world without having any means to raise them ? Its going to be difficult for them ... and for us." 

"Yes John ... we don't have so much of money now ... but we love each other don't we? We have got love in abundance ... we will give it to them. We will do, what we are to do, from our part ... we will just say yes ,to bring them to this world. The rest is upto God. They wouldn't have taken form, if God did not want us to have them. He will provide us with some means, to earn enough. And later on, I will go for work too ... and I shall ask mother to take care of them, she will be more than happy to help. "

"My sweetest Mariam ... your happiness is what matters to me ... and If that's what you want, I won't be against it. We will love them until our very last breath. And hehhe, I will teach them soccer okay!"

"Oh John, I love you so much.
Thank you ...Thank you! Thank God! ... Jack ... Jenny did you hear that? Come out soon little ones! Mommy and daddy love you !"
