~~~~Love Above All~~~~

Chapter 15


Nick and Elisha carried the twins into the house while Rebecca and Brian ran around outside, exploring the farm. Together they toured the charming farmhouse, peeking into the bedrooms, kitchen and basement. "So where will the prince and princess sleep?" Elisha asked. "I thought Brian could sleep in Kev's old room and Rebecca could sleep in Tim's. The bathroom is inbetween them and they'll be just down the hall from us." Elisha nodded and gestured to the twins. "What about these two?" Nick struck his palm against his forehead. "I meant to bring one of the cribs, damn it!" Elisha giggled. "There were three boys living here at one point, there must be another bed. We could move it into the master bedroom." "But what if they move around?" Nick asked. "We can push it up against the wall and put the other side next to our bed, push them together. They should be alright that way." Nick went off in search of another bed and Elisha pulled the curtain back to watch Rebecca and Brian. They were examining some creature by the looks of it, Both of them bent down, heads almost touching, noses to the ground. Elisha laughed and pulled Nick over to look when he re-entered the room. "They're gonna love it here, I can tell already."

After moving the beds around, they settled the twins and went out to start supper. Elisha found a note from Kevin's mom welcoming them to the house and pointing out where a few things were to be found. She had also jotted down her phone number, as well as the neighbours on the next farm. Elisha pinned the note to the bulletin board and shooed Nick out with the kids. "Out of my kitchen you! You'll only eat everything before it's done!" Nick looked hurt and playfully stomped out of the house. Elisha could hear the kids shriek in delight when Nick snuck up on them from the front of the house. She watched him playing with their children and her heart filled with love. "I don't know how I ever managed without him in my life." she said softly to herself. "Even with all we've gone through, I'd do it all again as long as I ended up with him."

Once Rebecca and Brian were asleep, Nick and Elisha walked around the grounds, pushing the twins in their dark green double stroller. "Let's go up in the hayloft!" Elisha burst out. Nick backed away slightly. "I don't think so. The babies........" "Oh come on!" She grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him to her. "They're sleeping, and we CAN see them from up there." Nick walked her over to a nearby tree stump. "There's something I should tell you." He held her hands in his. "When Mandy and I got back together, 5 months before I met you, it was here." Elisha looked at him quizzically. "Here?" Nick sighed. "We had a concert here, she followed me, swore she had changed. We had a few days off and we all came out here to get away." Elisha nodded. "We got back together after spending the night in the hayloft." A small smile was playing on her lips, but Nick was looking at the ground. She lifted his head up. "So let's go erase some bad memories." Nick saw the teasing smile and grinned. "I never said they were bad memories, however crazy she is, she did give good head!" Elisha punched him in the arm. "Just for that comment maybe I'm not so horny now." Nick looked at her eagerly. "You're horny?" He rubbed his hands gleefully and kissed her. "I take back anything I just said, they were the ramblings of a love-starved father of four!" Elisha checked on the twins again before wheeling them into the barn. She took Nick's hand and pulled him to the ladder. "We're not going to spend the night, but let's see if we can fill you up before the twins get hungry again." Nick watched her slowly climb the ladder and took the rungs two at a time to catch her. It had been a long time and he wasn't going to waste a second.
