Another Baby - part 2

Checking In

Matias had stopped in at home on his way to another assignment.

The new baby could arrive at any time, and he wanted to check in on Agnes...

"I'm doing fine." she said, "Just a little tired, but it's not like I haven't gone through this before."

"Even so, I want to be here for you. So if I'm not back yet, just send word when it's time, and I'll come home as quickly as I can."

A Father and Daughter Bond

Olivia always missed her Dad terribly when he was away...

He knelt down to give her a big hug...

"I love you Papa," she whispered, "and I really miss you when you are away..."

"I know. And I miss you too. But it's my job, and I have to go."

"But I've asked for some time off when the baby comes.."

"And then I'll be home all day with you...."

"...and your little sister."

"But I really have to go now."

Leaving Again

Agnes and Olivia went out to see Matias off....

It was always hard to say good-bye.

...and especially now that their baby could come at any time.

She didn't want him to leave...

...and he really didn't want to go...but he had no choice.

"Please, try to take it easy and just rest. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Visiting Naomi

Naomi knew how long each day felt for Agnes while waiting for her baby, so she invited her to come for a visit with her children...

"I'm so glad you could come."

Agnes and Naomi had become good friends, but up until now they'd only visited each other alone, and even though they had met each other's children many times, it was the first time their children would get to meet each other.

Both Daniel and Fiona were feeling a bit shy...

Whereas little Mika didn't have a shy bone in her body!

But then, she'd already met Naomi many times before.

the Rocking Horse

Naomi invited Agnes to sit down, and served her some tea. She had introduced the children to each other, but Mika had spotted the twin's rocking horse, and wanted to have a ride...

Daniel and Fiona watched....

...as the little stranger went wild on their rocking horse.

Mika was clearly enjoying herself. But Daniel and Fiona, who hadn't had much exposure to other children, didn't quite know what to make of her.

Cookies

Naomi had a plan she hoped would help her twins engage with Olivia and Mika.

She had prepared a tray of her twins' favourite cookies in the hope that it would help 'break the ice' ....

Fiona quickly chose her favourite, and went to sit down.

But Mika was having difficulty choosing. She'd never seen cookies like these before.

"Just take one." advised her mother.

But it was such a difficult choice.

Daniel had been watching her, "Take one of the gingerbread men." he suggested,

"Those are my favourite!"

So she took his advice and reached for a gingerbread man.

Becoming Friends

The cookies had done the trick, and the children started interacting with each other.

Daniel picked up his favourite teddy to show Mika....

...while Olivia helped Fiona build her tower of blocks.

Naomi was happy to see the children starting to play together. She knew how important it was for them to have some friends, but there were no other young children in the castle, so she had hoped that Daniel and Fiona would become friends with Agnes' girls

It had been Agnes' hope as well....

And it looked like they were off to a good start.

the New Arrival

A few days later the time had come and Agnes sent for Matias. Their baby arrived in the night, and in the morning Matias brought Olivia and Mika in to meet their new little sister....
