“Oh, I missed your cooking, Zaia! That is I presume you will be cooking!”
“Yes, I will be,” I say, smiling softly.
She was always a good mother-in-law.
I can’t wait to cook for Bastien.
“Alright, tell your driver to wait in the car around the bed on the left. I will come to the car, but first I need to get some presents! I’m finally meeting my grandchildren! Goddess! I am so excited!”
“Well, I’ll see you soon then,” I say to the very excited woman, who no longer sounds tired, chuckling as I hang up.
“So congratulations on the good news,” Valerie says as I step into the lounge. She isn’t in here, but there’s a door on the far side that stands open and I can tell she’s got her things pretty much fully set up.
“Thanks. So how have you and the kiddies been, and where are they?” I ask, taking off my jacket.
“Over here.” She says, motioning inside the room.
I cross the room and peep into the lab to see them playing on the floor with coloured foam.
Once again, they are mumbling incoherently in a language that sounds like French, but it isn’t. The strangest thing is they seem to be conversing with one another, although they aren’t making sense.
Hmm, I might need to switch to Spanish next!
“Mommy! Look what Aunty Velly gave us!” Sia says patting the foam.
“Aunty Velly?” I raise an eyebrow as I go over to her.
Valerie chuckles. “It’s unique. I just hope Jai doesn’t hear it.”
“That it is.” I smile. “How exciting!” I add to the children, giving them both a hug and kiss and prod the foam."
Valerie turns in her chair as she removes her gloves.
“I was just checking the blood samples, but I’m going to continue when I have a few more things I need.”
“Sounds good. Do you think you’ll be able to?” I ask in French.
She nods. “I think so, and I will find a way.” She reassures me.
Standing up, I nod. “Well children, your daddy will be back today, so Mommy is going to go cook some delicious food, ok? So will be good for Aunty Velly?” I can’t help but giggle at that, and Valerie gives me a look.
