Chapter five, part seven

That night at diner her grandmother suddenly asked about the letter. Deborah stared at her grandmother not knowing what to answer. Did she have to tell them about the lies her parents spread around? Her grandmother didn't asked more when Deborah answered that it was from a friend from church. She only said 'that's nice' and that was it. Her grandfather started talking about something that happend at his job. He always had stories about his colleagues and all the jokes they made. Deborah and her grandmother laughed about all of them. They were so funny.

After diner, when she was reading her book she couldn't really concentrate. She had to think about the letter again and again. The memories about her parents, siblings but also all the people in church went back and forward in her head. Again and again she tried to think about a way to tell people about the time here without letting them know she didn't do a study and that she was in fact pregnant.

She also had to think about another thing Helena had said in her letter. The part about staying for a year. That was something Deborah wasn't sure about. Her mother hadn't said anything about the time she would spend at her grandmother. Her grandmother hadn't said anything either. A year felt long but it made sense that she wouldn't return immediatly after giving birth. Maybe she could ask her grandmother if that part of the information that was given to Helena was true. Deborah didn't have to tell about the lies and could just ask this thing.

Chapter three, part eleven

Deborah still didn't know what to do when her grandfather walked in the room. He was surprised she didn't already had her book to read. Deborah hesitated to explain why she didn't had a book in her hands. Her grandfather noticed her hesitation and asked what the matter was. Deborah explained she didn't had any books besides her studybooks. Her grandfather notted and pointed behind her. Deborah looked and saw the huge bookcase behind the couch. Her grandparents had a lot of books. He asked her what she liked. Deborah hesitated yet again. She never really had time to read. What did she like to read? He asked if she liked history? Deborah didn't liked her studybooks for history. Scared to say the actually answer she notted. Her grandfather gave her a book and said to read the back of the cover. Deborah listend to her grandfather and read the behind. It was defenitly not like her studybooks. She actually was intrigued by what she read.

It wasn't for long when she was deep in her book.

Deborah barely noticed when her grandmother came in the livingroom and took her own book to read. She noticed the book Deborah was reading and said she had that one too. Deborah and her grandfather both started laughing a bit. Her grandfather said it was her book and then her grandmother laughed with them. She could read any book her grandmother had. It was no problem at all. Deborah thanked her grandmother multiple times.

Chapter twenty nine, part six

Deborahs first job came from her greatgrandmother. She was very proud at her greatgranddaughter to start her very own business so she was very eager to give her her first job. Deborah knew she had no reason to say no to her greatgrandmother and accepted the job without hesitation. It was an honor to cook for her. It even made her a bit nervous. Deborah felt it wasn't necessary for her greatgrandmother to pay for it but she insisted that she would pay. After that her greatgrandmother started recommending her to her friends. To bake meals but also to bake cakes, pies and cookies. Deborah wouldn't be bored. She really enjoyed standing in her grandmothers kitchen cooking for all those people. While her grandparents looked after the children. They ensured her it wasn't to much and that they enjoyed spending time with their greatgrandchildren. So Deborah accepted their help once again.

Chapter twenty nine, part five

When Deborah heared back from the school about the results of her boys she was very relieved that all her boys would start in the class they belonged to according to their age. Andrew would get some extra help outside of the classroom because he was a little behind but it wasn't enough to let him start a year below. It hurted a little bit to hear that Andrew was behind. It felt like she had failed him. Ofcourse she could explain it, she had to teach him with so many little ones and being pregnant all the time. It wasn't nice to hear. But she was happy that he would be taughted well and would get extra help. Her boys would end up in a good position besides her lack of teacher skills. She also thought it was better that it was Andrew who was behind and not Malachi. He wouldn't like it and would maybe suffer from being the only one getting special treatment while she had no doupt Andrew would survive as he had a much stronger personality.

The boys liked being in school altough it had only been for the test. So Deborah had to deal with boys who were even more eager to go to school while not being able to go to school. It was a good thing the summervacation would start soon and every child would be at home, including Evan.

Chapter twenty nine, part four

In the following week she visited two different schools. It made her dizzy from all the impressions and information she got from the two places. In the end she made her choice based which school Evan went to. It seemed better for them to be in the same school. Then the questions came which level of education her children had. Deborah really didn't have a clear prove of their level so the school decided that her children had to be tested. They all agreed it was better for the children to start after the summer. Deborah agreed with the desicion altough she wished they could start school immediatly. Because of the tests that her boys had to take they would be going some days to school.

On one of the days her boys got tested she went into town to get her business started. It was very special to start it officially. Her grandfather would help her set it up financialy. He had that entrepreneurs look on those things. She was him very thankful for helping her with all of it. It made her enthousiastic to start while all her worry was swept away by her grandfather.

Chapter twenty nine, part three

The next morning was the moment Deborah would meet her greatgrandmother again after all those years. Deborah was very surprised to hear that she still lived. Her greatgrandfather passed away in january and it was sad that Deborah never got to see him again. But getting to see her greatgrandmother made it a bit less sad. It was a nice seeing her again and she was delighted to meet Camilla. Deborah was eager to give her youngest daughter to her grandgrandmother. The Camilla's meeting for the first time. Her greatgrandmother was also very nice to her other children and treated them like she had been in their lives from the day they were born. The sundayafternoon went by very fast with her oldest children getting to play with Evan again and all the talking with the grown ups on the couch with the little ones close by. A real family, not to small but also not to big. It was nothing compared to the crowd back at home that was her family.

They all had to keep close attention to the five oldest boys as they were very happy to go do some mischief when they weren't watched. But it was such a relieve to all of them to see them all together having fun. Deborahs heart bursted from joy seeing them getting along so well. Especially when they came to tell her about what they had done. Her son Evan came to tell her about his time. Altough she felt the distance, Phillip and Alicia would be his parents, it was so nice to build their relationship.

Chapter twenty nine, part two

Deborah told Anna that she was with their grandparents. Anna didn't get it at first. So Deborah explained that she was with their grandparents of their mothers side. Her sister wanted to know why after another moment of silence. Deborah was also a moment silent. Then she gave her reason 'because they helped me so good years ago when...' Deborah stopted talking. Anna didn't know about her pregnancy. She didn't feel ashamed by Evan but she wasn't ready to tell her sister about Evan. Anna already understood and filled in the blanks 'when you studied there for a year?'. Deborah said yes, agreeing to the lie her parents came up with years ago. Anna promosed to tell their parents that she was fine. She was clearly relieved to know that Deborah was safe and sound with her children. Then they both hang up the phone. Deborah let another sigh out of her mouth. It was over. It went well. She was scared for what her father would do if he heared where she was. There, in the bedroom, she prayed that her father wouldn't come after her and that Anna would tell him in a way that he would accept that she had left. After that she went downstairs to be with her children.

Chapter twenty nine, part one

The next day it was Deborahs grandmother who started to talk about the village she was raised in and had lived in for the most of her life. She was now so long gone that he family probably would be very worried about her. Deborah had to agree her grandmother even though she didn't want to. It would be the most sensable thing to make contact with her parents. But she wished that it wasn't necessary. What would keep her father from getting her and make her marry with another man. She knew that saying no to him wasn't really an option. And that was exactly what she wanted and was doing. Her father wouldn't appriciate it. Her mother would probably be a bit milder but would agree with her father in the end. She always stood by her husbands side, no matter what. Like Deborah had to stand by Aidans side on so many occiasions while not agreeing with him. The memory gave her chills. She really didn't want to remarry.

With shaking fingers she held onto the phone. She sat in her bedroom to have some peace and quiet to make the call. Deborah gave a deep sigh before typing in the numbers of her parents housephone. Then she pressed the green horn and pressed the phone to her ear. She heared the tone going once, twice. She felt her heart beating very fast in her chest. Finaly she heared the click and then the voice of her sister, Anna. Deborah sighted again. She said her name and waited for her sister to react. After a moment of silence her sister asked 'where are you!?'.
