257 Salali’s secre

"umm, I have something to tell you, I hope that you will be happy about it." Salali starts hesitating. 

Randy gives her a sly grin and teases her. 

" Let me guess, we are going to have another baby." He looks at her seeing the surprise on her face. 

"How did you know?" Salali asks 

"Like I wouldn't notice that your moody, angry and emotional. That you barely eat or wrinkle your nose at the smell of raw meat. I noticed right away also I know when you have your cycle you always sleep in the guest room it's been nine weeks since the last time we slept apart." Randy smiles at her letting her know that he is happy about it. He wonders if she will like what he is trying to do. 

"I was thinking that since our little miss wants to go to a regular school and now with a new baby on the way. How about we move back home . That way you can be close to your mom and HeJin . Also you won't have to worry about flying if you want to go visit your brother's. You can drive and it will be easier. I already started talking to the band and since a lot of our work on the next two albums is going to be in Nashville we can move here. We won't be going on a major tour for at least three years so other than a gig here and there we can be in one place. What do you say , Do you want to close up the house in California and move back here?" Randy asks his wife holding his breath hoping he hasn't jumped the gun and read her feelings wrong. Salali squeals with delight and lunges across the seat at her husband. 

"I love the idea I have missed being here so much and I want our children to grow up like I did. Thank you for knowing what I want without me having to say anything." Randy leans in close to her and whispers. 

"Then can I get a reward fir being the best husband. " capturing her mouth with his Randy drags her across the seat to straddle him. Moving the seat back to give them more room he kisses his wife into oblivion. 

Brayden is recovering from his injuries and will be able to go home in a few days. Astila and the others will be returning to Tennessee while Crystal stays with Winona and Marshal to help with Brayden. Thomas will be returning home from deployment in a few weeks so Remi makes arrangements to make sure they are back in time. Maureen takes the two girls aside for a chat. 

"Can you tuck the girls in for me? I want to go for a walk and maybe talk with Moll. " Aisling turns towards the drive to Moll's house before he can answer. He looks at Aisling's back as she walks away. He noticed the sadness in her eyes. Wondering what is bothering her but not wanting to ask. He knows she will tell him when she is ready. Astila takes the girls inside to get them ready for bed when Lilli asks her Dad. 

"Dad will mom be ok? I think she wants to have another baby like Aunt Remi and Aunt Salali. We know that Aunt Moll and Aunt Maureen are happy with one child but mom I think wants another one. I get that vibe from her thoughts." Lilli looks at him knowing he is going to scold her for reading her mom but she couldn't help it when she looks so sad.

"Now girls how many times have we told you no reading people without permission. We know that Alex does it but it's mostly because he can't control himself yet. William has a hard time with that as well but it's more their age than anything else. Since we are on the subject of you reading people , tell me what you know about your grandmother. I know you have vibed something." The girls look at each other and then at their dad as usual it's Lotus that talks. 

"promise you won't be mad at us but we did vibe her when we saw her at the home and then again at Uncle Onacona's house. Grandmother has another child, he from before she married grandfather. We couldn't tell when or how she had him only that you have an older brother one older than Uncle Yona. I hit a wall of anger and pain when she thought of him. When Uncle Inola mentioned the handyman I felt her fear but it was the fear of a mother. Could he be that child is that why she was so happy when he was around, if so then grandmother was but a child when she had him. Uncle Yona was barely twelve years old when grandfather died. If the handyman was an adult than grandmother had him when she was around Crystal's age. Is that possible?" Lotus looks at her Dad as he thinks about what she just told him. She sees the confusion on his face and then he looks at her and quietly says. 

"Don't think about it anymore, we will unravel everything when we get back to Tennessee and then we will find out. You know it is possible you vibed her wrong, you are still just a child so you could have misunderstood." Kissing each on the forehead and saying good night Astila leaves them to sleep. He goes out to stand on the balcony to watch for his wife so that he can meet up with her when he sees her coming. 

Moll is waiting on the porch when Aisling walks up. 

"Would you like to come in to my office in the morning. I go back to work tomorrow and I have the morning free. " Moll asks her. 

"So you already knew I was coming , even after all these years I can't hide anything from the two of you." Aisling says as she sits with Moll . 

"I've known for a few years now that you want another child. I don't think you need to worry it will happen when it's time but if you want me to check everything out I can. You girls seem to get pregnant at the same time. Debra , Remi and Salali are all pregnant now so I figured you are having baby fever as well. Though Debra is the one I'm most worried about. She already has signs of Eclampsia, she luckily is only having one child this time. I have already told Sam all that he needs to do for her. Why don't you let Alex or William check you out those two know almost as soon as someone has conceived. Thry blurt it out right away. " Aisling chuckles and tells Moll. 

"since they have not said anything I'm sure that I am not pregnant but I am worried that something or someone is keeping me from being able to conceive. I want to give Astila a son. I know he is happy with the girls but all men would like a boy." Moll snorts at her

" Inola already knew that I only had a short time to conceive and we were very happy when it happened. It was our only chance. It could be something as simple has just timing . We will find out if something is wrong and try to fix it. Don't worry anymore and go get some rest." Moll hugs Aisling and sends her home. Sighing Moll goes inside.
