Who:Hannah and OPEN What: Missing her babies and her husband When: Thursday early evening Where: Botanical Garden
AJ's second birthday would be in two days. That was all Hannah could think about today at work. She wondered what she was doing back home. What special thing had stolen her little girl's heart over the past year that would become the focus for her birthday? It reminded Hannah that while she was getting opportunities here she never had at home she was missing very special moments. At least the version of her that was home didn't know she was missing anything. But here, in this consciousness it screamed at her that a good mother would be there for her baby's birthday. She would also be missing another birthday as the version of her at home was surely pregnant with Christopher by now. She missed them both terribly even if her current self had know first hand knowledge of Christopher's impending existence.
When she finally finished up her scheduled time for the day Hannah didn't want to go home. She was fairly certain that were Frankie there he'd catch that something was bothering her and she didn't want to make him feel bad either. Then again, he'd already experienced AJ's birthday along with the birth of his little brother. Still, she didn't want live it through Frankie's eyes. She wanted to be there and have the memories for herself. At least she could take solace in the fact that Neville wasn't here missing their children.
However, that opened a whole new flood of emotions. She missed her husband so much. Therefore, she headed to the one place in town that she knew he'd frequent were he here. With a sigh she sat down on a bench and did her best to focus on the beauty around her rather than the tear that escaped the corner of her eye and slowly traced itself down her cheek.
