Chapter 228
Nicol
When Nicolene was finished with her bottle I took her from Nicolas and rubbed her back for a little making sure she’s comfortable. After a while she was sleeping. “I’ll find out where we can put her.” Nicolas said. I walked out with Nicolas to the living room where he asked Luther “Where can we put Nicolene, she’s sleeping.” “I’ll take you to Mia’s room.” JP said. We followed JP while Luther was still talking to Mia.JP made a nice nest for her yes, we know she is too small to roll off the bed, but always be safe that sorry. I laid her down but one of the 3 of us didn’t want to move out of the room. “Nicolas.” I asked “Yes” “We can leave her now.” “Shouldn’t she be in a crib or something.” “She won’t fall off if that is what you worried about.” “I’ll feel so much better if she was in a crib or something.” “There is a crib in her room, but it’s not put together yet.” JP said. “You want to help me to set it up.” “Yes sure” JP said. “JP you’ve been working since last night shouldn’t you be sleeping.” “I’ll help Nicolas then I’ll go home, okay?” “Okay.” Nicolas and JP went to Nicolene’s room and I went to Mia and Luther.
There was no door but I wanted them to know I was entering the living room. “Knock knock can I come in?” “Yes, off course.” Luther said still holding Mia. “Where’s Nicolene?” Mia asked “She’s sleeping.” “But I should feed her.” I went to sit next to her and held onto her leg. “Mia, we gave her some formula, after the shock you had you won’t have any milk today.” “But, but how?” “I bought some, the lady at the store said to always have formula in the house for incase something happens and you don’t have any milk.” Luther explained “Oh.” That made her cry all over again. “Shhh Mia don’t cry.” I tried. “I can’t help it, I’m useless as a mother if I can’t feed her.” “Mia don’t say that, please don’t say that.” Luther said. “Mia you are not a bad mother neither are you useless, take it easy on your self please.” I tried as well. “I think I should go and lay down I’m very tired.” Mia said. “No problem, I’ll take you.” Luther said. Ohhh something is going to happen between these two I can feel it coming. But I won’t say a thing.
While Luther was making sure Mia felt safe in her new room, I went to check on JP and Nicolas. When I walked into the room the where both busy painting. “I thought you are putting the crib together.” “After the room is painted.” Nicolas said. “But JP must be dead.” “I’m fine Nicol, stop worrying about me.” After a while Luther walked into the room. “Wow you guys are making progress.” “We are.” “I can go on if you want to leave.” Nicolas looked at me then at Luther.
"We not leaving until this room is done.” “I’m going to sort the cloths in the living room so long.” I told the men; Nicolas got of the ladder and came to me. “You okay with this?” “More than okay Babe.” I gave him a kiss and went to the living room.
Nicolas
I wanted Mia and Nicolene to have a safe and nice space and what Luther was doing here was perfect it’s just a shame that they had to come out of the hospital today or else he would have been finished already. But with JP’s help we were almost done. Luther was busy putting the furniture together, obviously Nicolene won’t be able to sleep in her own room tonight not with all the paint fumes but at least it will be finished. It was probable a few hours later when JP, Luther and I was eventually done with the painting and assembling of everything. Nicol packed all the clothing away and was busy making the crib beautiful. We all stood back looking at our handy work when we heard someone behind us. “Oh wow, this is beautiful.” Mia said. “Even more beautiful than her room at Anton’s place.” Luther walked towards her. “We are very happy you like it.” She walked into the room looking at everything, touching everything. She even sat in the rocking chair. We could all see the tears starting to stream down her face again. “I don’t deserve people like you lot in my life.” “Nonsense.” Luther said “You deserve so much more. Come have a look at Nicolene’s cupboards.” Luther said taking her to the closet. He opened it and all Nicolene’s clothing was hanging and packed to perfection even her diapers where in the cupboard. “Oh, wow we don’t need a thing.” Mia said looking at the lot of us. “That is the idea, Mia.” Luther said kissing her forehead. That is when I decided it was time for us to leave. “Okay Luther we are all going to leave, JP must be dead on his feet.” Luckily for me JP got where I was coming from. “Yes, I desperately need some sleep.” Mia walked over to JP and threw her arms around him.
“Thank you, JP, for everything I really really appreciate it.” Then she came to me and Nicol and Hugged us as well. “Thank you thank you I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you guys.” “Just look after yourself.” Mia said. “But don’t worry, JP and I will come around to check in on you.” “Okay.” Luther took the lead and walked us to the front door. “Thank you again for helping today.” Luther said. Nicol hugged him and said “Thank you and please call us if there is anything you don’t know or if you want us to come over” “I will.” Luther said. But I knew he won’t Luther is a very proud man and will rather figure stuff out for himself than ask for help.
