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 eight, part four

That night they had to get extra chairs from other places to create enough seats at the table for everybody. It was nice to have such a full table filled with laughter and joy. The children were all nice and talking with eachother. One big happy family eating together.

When they were done eating and Phillip and Alicia mentioned going home Evan didn't really wanted to go home. Deborah smiled and was partly happy with it. It meant that he had enjoyed himself with her children. At the same time it felt uncomfertable as he was the son of Phillip and Alicia. She didn't want to end up in a situation that he preffered her family of theirs. But Evan went home with Phillip and Alicia in peace when they told him he could play with them again soon. Deborah hoped that she could enrol her children in the same school as Evan attended. Her boys would love going to the same school as he did. In the mean time her boys were just as sad that Evan was leaving as Evan was that he had to leave. They liked playing with him and were just as excited that they could play with Evan again soon. The future seemed a bit brighter now that her children all liked eachother.

Chapter twenty seven, part five

Now was just one more thing, what would Deborah do in the time she had to wait until Aidans house was hers and she could sell it. Her grandparents were convinced she should stay with them. Deborah looked at them in disbelieve. She couldn't ask that from them. They were older and needed their rest, not eight little children in their house. But her grandparents laughed that away. They wanted to enjoy their greatgrandchildren while they still could. Deborah was touched by that. They made plans for her to look into starting her own baking and cooking company and into schools for the boys. What a relieve it was to have the help of her grandparents to figure out a live of her own, without the help of a husband. There were once again, no words to describe how thankful she was for all that they did for her.

Now that they had discussed the important things, her grandmother had some more questions for Deborah. If it was just a coincidance that her daughter was named Priscilla. Deborah laughed very hard. No it wasn't. She had done some good work to get Aidans blessing to use that name for their daughter. Then they talked about the names Caleb and Camilla for two of her other children. They were no coincidance either. Her grandfather said that he felt left out. Deborah petted him on the sholder and said the full name of her son, Judah. A big smile came on her grandfathers face. His name would live on too. She explained that Aidan didn't like the name Phillip as a first name. They all shoke their head about Aidans opinion about the name that was caried by several men in her grandfathers family, uncluding himself and his son.

Chapter twenty seven, part four

When the children were down in their beds to sleep for the night, Deborah and her grandparents sat at the diner table to discus her future. Her grandfather had figured out that there were no worries at the moment about her financial situation. It wasn't critical. There would come some compensations so it wasn't like she needed money this instant. The house was of Aidan and that meant that it had to become hers official as his inheritor. It wouldn't cause problems but it would take some time. If that was taken care of the house would be hers and she wouldn't need to pay any loans off for it. So that was good. The problem was that her late husband didn't have any insurence for his death. So he left her without any form of income. That was probably why her dad had suggested to marry again. Somebody had to take care of an income to provide for food and maintance of the house. Her grandfather was sure that there was another option besides marriage. She could generate income herself, especially when her children would go to school. Deborah said that she didn't have any degree. But her grandfather and grandmother said that she was an wonderful cook and baker and could earn her money with that. She could do a lot from her own house. Deborah needed some time to think about that option. She doupted that she could earn a living with that from her home in the town she had lived in.

Her grandmother disrupted her thinking by aksing what was going on in her mind. Deborah smiled to her grandmother and sighted. She said she didn't want to go home. Her grandparents both laughed. They figured there would be a home for her in the city. Deborah looked at them in disbelieve. Her grandfather was convinced she could sell the house of Aidan for a good price and buy something for her and her children in the city.

Chapter twenty seven, part three

At the dinertable that night, Deborah heared all the stories from her children about what they did with her grandmother. They all had started to call her grandma too, just as Deborah. And Deborahs grandmother proudly answered them with that name. No bigger smile on Deborahs face as she watched her grandmother be one. They baked cookies together and did games together. Her grandmother had been looking through all the old stuff to find some old toys she still had from when Phillip was small. The children were very happy with their new 'old toys'.

After diner they brought the children to their beds with the three of them. Just as the day before. The exciment of the children about their greatgrandparents helping them in their beds was precious to see. Deborah had to hold back tears of happnines a few times. She thanked God in her mind.

Chapter twenty seven, part two

Deborah severly doupted that she was of any use to her grandfather. She could give him her bankcards but that was it. He was very good with the computer and had in no time the overview of her financial data on his computer. Deborah was amazed by his skill. Then he searched for the data of their house. Something that wasn't so simply to get was all the info about what her income would be now that Aidan passed away. Did he have any death insurance? Deborah didn't know about all those sorts of things. Aidan and her dad had always taken care of that. Her grandfather didn't quit easily. He made one phone call after another. Her admiration for her grandfather grew every second she watched him work.

She was very happy that her grandmother came calling for her to feed Camilla. Deborah asked her how it went with all the children. Her grandmothers eyes said enough. The children didn't seem mad about her leaving again after feeding Camilla so Deborah didn't worry as much as earlier. Her grandmother could handle it with ease apparently.

The day flew by with her grandfather and her working on collecting all kinds of info and data about her financial situation. It was nice to do this with him.

Chapter twenty seven, part one

The next morning, Deborah was buzy with the children early in the morning. She dressed the children and took them downstairs. In the kitchen she prepared breakfast for all of them. It was so familiar being back in the kitchen she had cooked in so many times. Some things were in different places or had been replaced by new items. It didn't bother her. She found her way. The children enjoyed playing and waiting for her to finish making breakfast. Her grandmother was pleased to learn she didn't have to make breakfast that morning. Deborah got a big from her as a thank you. After that her grandmother focused on her greatgrandchildren. Deborah enjoyed seeing her with the children. It would be nice to stay here and see her more often with the children and ofcourse her grandfather also.

After breakfast her grandmother told her to go sit with her grandfather to deal with the task to figure out how to get out of marriage. Her grandmother would clean up and take care of the children. Deborah thanked her but felt a bit burdened to let her grandmother deal with all the children on her own. Even though she saw her grandmother enjoying spending time with them.
