Magical Ties

Chapter 147

Aisling and Astila has Salali come with them to see the sonogram this time. They are hoping to find out if they are having. Moll gets her settled and does the test herself. She smiles brightly when she sees that they are indeed girls. Winking at Salali she sighs and tells them they just are not cooperating today that she cannot make out their s.e.x. When the test is over Moll pulls Salali to the side. 

"I didn"t want to tell them because Maureen and I want to give them a surprise gender reveal. Truthfully I am just in the mood for a party. I want to do it when Yona gets back. So we will have plenty of time to plan. You know that Maureen"s child is a boy so we will have to plan a baby shower this spring as well. I getting so excited between Debra"s twins and the new little ones coming the house is going to be overrun with kids. Oh can you help me prepare a special dinner for everyone tonight. Your uncle and I have an announcement. We wanted to tell everyone the other night but things got a little busy. " Moll hopes she will help her since she needs to work till late afternoon. 

"of course I will anything for you and Uncle." She waves bye to her as she goes to get things ready. Moll calls Yona and tells him to make sure he and Remi are home tonight. She smiles brightly with happiness. It"s going to be s very busy few months. 

Aisling tells Astila about the new deal she made with her aunt. He agrees that it"s good that they are making up. He knows how much it has weighed on her to be at odds with her family. They arrive at home and the house is in a flurry of activity . Crystal and Braydon are helping Yona pack up for his trip the next day. Remi is helping Salali fix dinner and Maureen and Winona are moving Remi into Yona"s room while he is away. She is well enough to be moved upstairs so that Aisling can have her sanctuary back. Aisling looks at everyone so busy and takes Astila"s hand and they slip upstairs to their room. Snuggling on the bed they are happy for the chance to be alone for just a few moments. Astila takes this chance to discuss with her about the guest house. 

"you know once all of the babies are born there will be no room left in the house. I spoke to Onacona and he does not want you to give him back the land. What he would like is to have a guest house built. He says he doesn"t know what Maureen wants to do yet. They only know they want to be able to be close to everyone. Moll and my uncle can always move back into Moll"s house. They are not that far away. Even if they move back to her house the house is still going to be bursting. So we need to think about what we want to do before Maureen has the baby." Aisling sits up on the bed and looks at the man she married. She is so blessed that he is her husband. Most husbands would be upset if their home was overrun with so much family all the time. He doesn"t ever say anything about it . He just lets her have her way. She will need to be more attentive to his feelings in the future. Thinking something is wrong he sits up beside her and pulls her into his arms. Leaning back so they are laying down again. 


"What are you thinking about?" He asks her. 

"I"m thinking what a wonderful man I married. That you have never objected to having our home so full." She replied quietly.There is a deep rumble in his chest of laughter. 

"How can I object when everyone in my family except my mother is living in our house. Trust me if my mom was not lost in her own world and would be able to deal with the outside world she would be here as well. "

Aisling has wanted to ask him for awhile about his mom. So since he brought it up. 

"Tell me about your mom?" She snuggles closer to him. 

"Well she is quite a beautiful woman,Salali is a lot like her. My father and her were inseparable they did everything together. They had been sweethearts since they were six years old. There was an accident when my father pa.s.sed and she was unconscious for weeks. When she regained consciousness she was like a child. The only person she could remember was my father. When we explained what happened she became uncontrollable and hurt one of the nurses. The court said that even though she was not in her right mind or able to be responsible for her actions. They wanted her to be placed in a special home . So she has been there for a long time now. She is allowed out for short visits but she gets upset every time we take her from the home . We go visit but she doesn"t know us. So we just call and check in on her . To make sure she doesn"t need anything. Her mind is that of a five year old. So rather than think of her in a way that is sad we just think of her as lost in her own world. " he looks down at his wife and she is sound asleep. Kissing her forehead he closes his eyes to rest. 

Everything is ready by the time Moll gets home from work and everyone is sitting down for dinner. She and Inola stand and asks for everyone"s attention. 

"we would like to announce that we are expecting a baby. " they all erupt into congratulations and cheers. Winona sits in a daze she looks at the happy faces around the table. Braydon looks at his mom and asks. 

"Mom what"s wrong ?" She shakes her head and tells him nothing,but everyone is staring at her. Embarra.s.sed she shyly explains her reaction. 

"I just realized that in a few months there will be at least four infants living in one house. That is a lot of babies. " 

Aisling takes the opportunity to give an announcement of her own. 

"Yes that is a lot of babies but they all won"t be living in this house. We are going to build a guest house by the lake. That way Onacona and Maureen can have their own little s.p.a.ce for their little one. " Maureen looks at Aisling and begins to cry with happiness. She was afraid that they would be separated again. Inola speaks up 

" We have Moll"s house still if we decide we want s.p.a.ce to ourselves we can move back there. " Moll looks slightly dejected at the thought of leaving them. Astila quickly holds his hand up. 

"You know Aisling has over a hundred acres here we could always build a duplex not just a single house. " they start to plan what I They would like. Salali looks at her and tells her

"you think this is bad you should see it when they have a real family dinner. You know Aisling sister has twins and they stay a lot also. They only live a few miles away. It"s only because  all the beds are taken right now that they are not here as much." 

Winona whistled in awe 

"I have never been around a family that liked being around each other so much. Normally they get on each other"s nerves and only get together for special occasions." she tells Salali. 

"yeah I haven"t spent so much time with my family until Astila met Aisling. Now we are all together all the time. You would think as newlyweds that my loner of a brother would be resentful but nope I have never seen him happier. " 

Salali gets up and starts clearing the table Winona helps. Aisling is already in the kitchen washing dishes and Maureen is putting leftovers away for John to pick up in the morning. They hear a car outside looking out they see it"s Sam. Aisling tells Maureen not to put dinner away yet incase he is hungry. Sam comes in and greets everyone. He has a worried look on his face . Aisling stops immediately and asks 

"Sam what is it ?what"s wrong?" He looks at her and asks. 

"Is Moll home?" Hearing her name mentioned Moll comes into the kitchen. 

"What is it Sam ?" She can see the worry on his face. 

""It"s Tanis she cant breath well she sounds like a barking dog. Debra has tried everything to calm her down." 

Moll breathes a sigh of relief. 

"Sounds like croup lets me grab a few things and I can come take care of her. Aisling call Debra tell her to open a window or take her for a walk outside. Astila can you get me one of the humidifiers from the bas.e.m.e.nt. " as Aisling calls Debra Astila heads for the bas.e.m.e.nt. Sam helps Moll with the things she needs and they head out to go to check on Tanis. Aisling goes along so that she can calm Debra . 

Winona asks Astila why didn"t he just take them to the hospital. Remi answers for him

"Debra is scared of hospitals. She has been since her father died. She avoids it whenever possible. Plus it"s less than five minutes from here to her house. It"s close to thirty to the hospital. She trusts Astila and Moll completely. I"m sure if once Moll gets there if Tanis needs to go. Sam will take her while Debra stays to watch over Daisy. "
