Latter at magnolia lane things were quite, everyone was trying
to sleep. but
there was too much running through Margo's head, for her to try
to sleep.
she knew magnolia lane would never be
the same without grandma Mary.
As
she watched Daniel sleep, she thought back to the day that she
met
him. And how sure grandma had been that he was the one
for her. she knew before Margo did ,that Margo and Daniel
would have a lifetime together. And now she knew even as she lay
dying, that Margo
was having twins. Margo
put her hand on her tummy and said, don't you two worry,
I
will make sure that you know all the history of magnolia lane, and
I will tell you everyday what a wonderful great grandmother you had. then
she drifted off to sleep. the next couple of weeks seemed like a blur to Margo, grandma
Mary's funeral, and her mom and dad moving here, she felt
like she was just going through the motions. everyday she walked
out to the small cemetery by the rose garden, and visited the
graves. She always made sure new flowers were on the graves.
Everyday her tummy got bigger and bigger
and the trip out
to the cemetery got harder and harder to make.
she
tried to get things back to normal ,so that they could open the
doors to the new
magnolia lane bed and breakfast. She missed grandma
Mary more
every day, but she knew how proud grandma would be of how she
was handling everything. Joanne told her the other day, that she
had changed so much in the last year. she said I am so proud of
you Margo you are a wonderful person, and I am so happy that I
am you're mother. Margo brushed the tears from her eyes and said, Thank
you mom, but I had two of the greatest role models that any girl
could ever have. And I just want these babies, to be as lucky as
I have been. I want them to have a good life ,and to know all
about their heritage, here at magnolia lane. Joanne hugged her
and said, they already are blessed to have you and Daniel as parents, and
I know you two will do a great job raising them.
Then
Joanne said have you thought about names yet? yes we have said Margo, we
are going to name them Maggie Jo, and Mathew lee, I like that said
Joanne, yeah me too said Margo, Daniel came up with noel lee,
and I picked Maggie Jo. Well I think that they are wonderful names, said
Joanne. Margo said thanks mom, what I can't believe is that they
will be here in two more months. we almost have the nursery
finished Daniel and Tony have did such a great job on it. they
painted it white ,drew some clouds on the ceiling, and then some
grass with a picket fence, and sunflowers ,on one side and a
race track with some cars on the other side, it looks really good.
And we have just 2 more weeks till our grand opening
of the bed and breakfast, the website I set up has really paid
off,
we already have 4 reservations. wow said Joanne, that is
wonderful but don't over do, Maggie Jo and Mathew Lee need a healthy,
relaxed mother. I won't mom I promise, I would not do anything
to jeopardize, the health of my babies or my health either. well
,Joanne said I guess I had better get home and get dinner ready
for your father. she reached over and kissed Margo's cheek and
said I love you baby girl. Margo giggled ,and said I love you
too mom, see you latter. After Joanne left she went to the
kitchen and fixed a cup of tea, about that time misty came in
,and the two of them sat down together and talked and drank their
tea.
