Never in her life did Bella think she’d be “that woman”. The one whose kids were her life. Sure, it was safe to say that Ithemba was also her life, but forefront and centre were the three little munchkins she’d given birth to. Mya and Eryn weren’t so little any more though. They were two separate individuals, with fully functional, opinionated minds of their own. Little humans that didn’t always think the way mummy and daddy did. Then there was Ralphie, their baby boy. He was growing up so quickly that Bella was afraid that if only she blinked, he’d no longer be a baby.
It was a pretty relaxed day at Ithemba. After all the work they’d done lately to prepare it for next year’s grand opening as an official educational programme, they deserved a break. Belie was in Johannesburg with Athena, doing some shopping. While she and her daughter had quality time, Bella and Nathan took the opportunity for Dwyer quality time. They headed to the little playground that Nathan and Ulwazi had built just for the kids. It stood on the opposite side from the animals, now enclosed where there were “dormitories” being built for future students. It was hard to believe that this place would soon be more than just theirs. The kids loved nothing more than playing on the swings and being outside in nature. They didn’t need fancy gifts or long trips. They were happy. “I think we’re doing a pretty good job,” Bella told Nathan. She nodded towards the kids. Wasn’t it every parent’s dream to raise happy little humans? So far, they’d succeeded and Bella wanted to make sure that no matter what, her family would come first.
