161 It’s so good to be home

My heart is pounding like it's going to jump out of my chest. I look over at my handsome husband, we just had the most beautiful and amazing date. Why am I so anxious to be home. It's only been a few days. I can't keep still with the anticipation of being home again. It's never been this way before when I would go away so why now. I see the driveway and a smile crosses my face the moment we turn my heart begins to calm. By the time we are there you heart was back to normal. I see everyone coming out to greet us. Moll notices my face and pulls me aside.,

"what's wrong ?what happened ?" Her voice anxious. She takes my wrist and starts checking my pulse. Looking at me with concern. She turns to everyone and excuses us from the group giving Astila a glare to let him know something is up. the two ladies head upstairs to Moll's room. she checks my feet for swelling and my blood pressure. Feeling my stomach. Looking puzzled she asks. 

"What happened that your heart rate was so fast and irregular. Your pressure is up and your feet is swollen. The feet could just be from being in the car for three hours but the other is not. "

Aisling goes to sit up but she pushed her back down and put her feet up. 

"Everything was good I was relaxed and happy. Then about halfway home I became unbearably anxious to be home. I could not sit still. My heart began to race and I felt flushed as if I was on fire inside. I have never felt that way being away before. If something is bad is about to happen. I normally have a different feeling. This time I can't explain what is happening. " Moll takes the stethoscope and listen to her stomach and she gets a smile on her face. Astila comes in to check on them and Moll waves him over. She gives him the stethoscope and he listens to the twins hearts beating. He smiles at the sound of their strong hearts. 

"What is it are they ok?" Aisling asks anxiously. Moll pats her hand and nods yes. 

"I think that you will start to have a more interesting pregnancy going forward. I think the twins will be born with gifts not just one but both. I say this because they are not at the stage that they should be moving so much yet. And they are all over. Did something happen while you were there?" Aisling tells her about the little girl and her family. Moll listens closely. She places her hands on Aisling's stomach and concentrates . She begins to laugh when she opens her eyes. 

"they were arguing that is why you were feeling that way. Since they are both going to be gifted you are going to feel their emotions so when you feel anxious or angry it may not be you that is upset. It could be one of them." 

Aisling gets a very disgruntled look on her face and crosses her arms a crossed her chest. How is she supposed to control babies that are not even born yet. Looking helplessly at Astila Aisling begins to cry. He chuckles and takes her in his arms. 

"So your Remi's therapist. I know you can't tell me anything about her. My husband was friends with her attacker at the time it happened can you tell me at least if she has ever mentioned his name?" 

Winona looks at her, she notices that she is anxious and is looking at the door. Knowing that Remi is not afraid of her husband and that she doesn't seem to have any resentment towards him she answers her.

"You should already know that answer just by Remi's reaction to your husband. If he had been there she would avoid him . She doesn't . If he had been there she was would glare and be cold to him ,she doesn't . She has never mentioned him in any of her sessions. She treats him as family. You have a very good husband why are you doubting him?" 

Winona feels that there is something going on between the couple and this woman is wanting to find fault with her husband instead of looking at herself. She pats her hand and tells her that she can come talk to her anytime. They go back down stairs because the kids are yelling that it's present time. 

Aisling and Astila have the living room filled with bags. It looks like a bag for everyone . She pulls Brayden aside and reminds him that these are gifts for the family not to be upset if he gets nothing. 

Aisling begins with the elders. 

for all of the uncles and cousins she bought tee shirts and ball caps with Atlantic City written a crossed it. For the aunties she got hoodies and bracelets. For the sisters she got leather handbags and key chains. For the brothers she got Sam a salt water fishing pole and for Yona a new wallet. For the kids she got Crystal a beautiful rose quartz necklace and a few loose amethyst geodes. For the twins new clothes and for Brayden they got him a black crystal and shark tooth bracelet for boys and a smaller fishing pole. Aisling looks at Winona and hands her a bag. Inside is a gorgeous sea shell with some black stones and sparkling blue ones. 

"I wasn't sure what to get you so I picked up just a few trinkets that's you can use to decorate your room." Winona thanks them tears pricking her eyes. They didn't leave her son out her heart swells with admiration for this family they did not need to include them and they did. Moll sees how emotional Winona is and that her baby Marshal is always close by. These two are made for each other. She looks at Maureen since she is the one who can see love lines. Maureen nods knowing what her look is about. Moll grins her boy is finally going to find love. She likes Winona a lot she is a good woman and that boy of hers is already a part of the family. The two women are very happy seeing their family growing. They say a prayer of thanks for this wonderful gift they have received. 

Maureen's face turns ashen all of a sudden. Aisling looks in the direction that she is looking. She is looking towards Aunt Norma. Moll notices as well, grabbing Astila's hand tightly Aisling tells him to. Please check Aunt Norma now. He looks at her he sees nothing outwardly wrong but not wanting to doubt the three ladies intuition he gets his bag. When he gets back down stairs they have moved everyone except Audis and Norma back outside. Astila kneels in front of Norma 

"Aunt Norma are you feeling nauseous or have heartburn?" She nods he can see now her breathing is labored . Getting his stethoscope out he listens. They can tell by his face that it's not good. He turns to Audis and tells him. To call for an ambulance. Norma places her hand over his .

"No I'm not dying in the hospital. I know that I won't make it through the night. I want to be with my family every minute I can. I have things to say to them. This is my wish, I have had the angel of death with me since yesterday and I prayed to stay till you were home. A not long ago I thought I wasn't going to make it. Then the feeling passed . "

Aisling holds her stomach the feeling from earlier today is starting again. Looking at Moll she nods they now know one of the twins has the gift of sensing death. A tear falls down Aisling's cheek. Seeing this Norma tells her.

"Do not cry child I have lived a very long life and have no regrets. It's been a life of love. Can you please call your brother for me and call Debra's family inside." Maureen gets Debra to bring her family inside and Aisling calls Dude. Norma is on FaceTime with Dude when they come inside.

"Hey smart ass how are you doing over there?" They hear Dude chuckle at his auntie

"I'm good you old hen. What's wrong you look pale. " she chuckles and blows him a kiss.

" Ahh yeah that I'm calling you to tell you goodbye. I want you to know that I'm very proud of you and that I need you to settle down soon and have some babies. Be nice to your sisters and know that this old hen loves you beyond measure and will always be watching out for you. Your a good man and if you stop letting that greed of yours over ride your heart you will become rich in such an amazing way. I want you to be careful and stay strong. No crying for me remember boys don't cry. Love you." She closes her eyes a moment and hands the phone to Aisling Dude tells her not to hang up that he wants to be with her till the end. 

"now Debra hand me my babies. " Sam and Debra give her the twins. As if they know it's serious they are very still and calm. 

"You two need to look out for you new cousins coming up. I won't make it till they arrive so you need to be good big cousins to them. Listen to your mama and papa . Know that I have enjoyed my every moment with you. When you get older you will receive small little gifts from me . I love you my little imps. " handing the babies back to their parents she looks at Debra. 

"I'm proud of you girl. You are an amazing mom and wife. I'm happy that you have let your anger and jealousy go and become a genuine good sister. Now Sam its time for you to let the anger over her selfishness towards Aisling go. My girl is going to need you and I know your only angry because you love her so much. She didn't know that she was hurting so much inside. You know losing her mom left a huge scar and because of that hurt she closed her eyes to a lot. She has come a long way in a few months. She has become independent of Aisling for the first time in her life. They now can have a jealous free relationship. So you do not need to worry anymore about that. Just love her and gold her. Thank you son for taking such good care of them. I love you like your my own." By the time she finished the room including Dude on the phone is in tears. 

"Now Aisling and Astila I am so happy you two found each other. I knew you were perfect the first time I saw you that's why I orchestrated the hand fasting ceremony the first day I saw you.  You are a good man and my girl there has been through a lot. Take good care of those two babies they will be receiving a few gifts from me in the future as well. I'm so tired do you mind if I have a few minutes alone with my adoring husband?" They all leave the room and leave the couple alone.
