Amanda gazed out the window so many times. Their spot in Paris was so much quieter than New York City. Nicco cooed softly in her arms, making Amanda giggle. “Yeah, you like Paris too huh?” Amanda asked him. He cooed again and pressed his little hand against her cheek. Amanda smiled and showered him with kisses, making him squeak and giggle in delight. Amanda smiled widely.
It was so surreal sometimes, just holding her youngest in her arms. A year ago, the last thing she wanted was another baby. She’d spent the whole pregnancy in fear of something going wrong, but here was this healthy, happy baby boy. Another little mini van Loon, and oh how she loved him. Sometimes the love was so overwhelming that she knew there was just no more room in her heart. Four children… Kobe. A little smile grazed her lips. She loved each and every one of them. And Nicco? He completed the family. Niels entered the room as Amanda was still gazing out of the window. “You alright?” he asked, moving closer to her. “Uh-huh.” Nicco smiled widely at the sound of his father’s voice. Amanda handed him over to Niels and watched Nicco snuggled up against his father’s strong chest. “I was thinking…” She hesitated. Subjects such as these were often the cause of their arguments in the past. Not too long ago, in fact. “We have our little Nicco now. And we certainly have our hands full with our other three treasures… How do you feel about… me getting my tubes tied?”
