| She placed a kiss on each of their foreheads and put them back down. �Yes, I truly am blessed.� She thought.
~ ~ ~ A couple more weeks passed and the children were all doing better. They were all healthy and strong. Everyday Michaela and Sully visited their children and sometimes they took the other children. Colleen was excited that she had two baby sisters to look after while Matthew and Brian began to plan on things they would teach their little brother. �Well hello there.� They all turned around and saw Josef walking towards them. �So kids, what do you think about your new brother and sisters?� The smile on their faces was all the answer Josef needed. �Michaela Sully, I just came to tell you that your babies will be able to go home tomorrow.� �Really? That�s wonderful.� That day while the family was at the hospital, all their friends decided to surprise them and finish the nursery for them. Hank, Anne and Canice painted the nursery while Dawn, Ashley and Helene brought in the furniture. It took them a while, but when they were done it was absolutely breathtaking. Josef and Elizabeth knew that their friends had wanted the nursery to be a surprise for them so they invited Michaela, Sully and the kids to spend the night at their house. The following morning they all headed to the hospital so that they could finally bring their babies home. Josef checked each one of the babies carefully to make sure they were all ready to go home. Michaela and Sully were beaming with excitement. Finally their family would be complete. After Alexia, Serenity and Josef had been cleared, Michaela and Sully took them home. On the way there, Michaela asked Sully how they were ever going to finish the nursery in one day. �Don�t worry Michaela, we can do it together.� Michaela smiled and took Sully�s hand. �I am very blessed.� They arrived at the house and when they went inside they heard some noises upstairs. Michaela and Sully looked at each other and they slowly made their way upstairs. The noises were coming from the nursery room. Sully opened the door a slit and looked in. He couldn�t believe what he saw. �Sully? What is it?� �I told those kids not to come in here.� �Oh no! What did they do?� Sully opened the door the rest of the way and there stood all of their friends. Michaela gasped when she was what they had done. The nursery was done in neutral colors and there were three teddy bears in each crib with each one of the children�s name embroidered on their paws. Michaela walked in and with tears in her eyes she thanked everyone for all of their hard work. That night after everyone had left and the children were in bed Michaela and Sully snuck into the nursery. �They�re beautiful aren�t they?� �Yes they are�Angels sent from heaven just like their mother.� Michaela wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. Sully placed his chin on her head and together the counted their blessings. ~ The End~ |
