Admittedly, you'll be getting no sleep at that point since we'll have two infants in the household, but hey, it's almost a return to normal.Admittedly, you'll be getting no sleep at that point since we'll have two infants in the household, but hey, it's almost a return to normal." I smiled. "Can I get you something to drink?" "Chocolate milk?" she asked with a small smile, almost innocent and girlish. "Coming right up," I said, rising from the couch and going into the kitchen. The far right wall had been knocked out and a large swinging door installed leading into the apartment next door, which we had turned into the kid's room, essentially, although downstairs was where the nursery per. se. was going. I returned with her milk and a glass of iced tea for me. Her children had been conceived in high winter, and it was now cold fall again, but at least the Castle was warm inside. The day was still sunny, and even a cold sun was welcome. I gave her the glass and she took a deep draught from it, draining about half the glass. I laughed at the gusto she had, and when she took the glass away from her lips she glanced sidelong at me, one eyebrow raised. |
