As they were sitting on the airplane, Niels had to smile looking at his two girls. Emi was trying to look out the window, pointing at clouds all the time, while Amanda was beaming at the idea of this trip already.
Last night, Niels had surprised Amanda, telling her they were going on a small trip. When he told her the destination of the trip was Rome, she'd gone insane with happiness. He knew what place Rome held to her heart, and no better place to take his family to visit than Rome. As he cuddled closer to Amanda, in his mind he started running over some of the things he wanted to do in Rome. There were so many things, both things he'd seen before as things he hadn't seen. But all of them were new things to Emi. So whatever he saw, it would be worth it. But what would he do? He wasn't sure yet, but time would tell, and he would make sure it all was a nice surprise to Amanda. He looked at her, and a smile came over his face. He was happy to be here, with her. Happy to return to Rome with her, for it had been far to long... He took out his ceelphone, looking for a picture he had once taken, a long time ago. His gaze met Amanda's, when he whispered: "Hey baby, remember back when we first came here and I took this picture?" Her entire face lit up, showing she did remember, she always remembered. And he was blessed by the fact she did...

Niels smiled, looking at the house after everyone had gone back home. Only some of their siblings remained, helping them to clean up. The birthday party for Emi had been a smashing success, or so he believed. What he couldn't believe however, was that his little baby girl already was two. How much it seemed like yesterday when he had first held her in his arms, very carefully, wanting to keep her safe from all harm. He still wanted to do so, and to himself he swore he always would, but he had to smile at the little bit of an adventurous side she already possessed. She sure was a hands full, but luckily, she still was sweet and very clingy to him and Amanda. He wasn't sure to who she took most of a liking, but whether it was to him or to his Amanda, he didn't mind, for they both loved her equally, or so his heart told him. ![]() As he was smiling, his gaze fell upon Amanda. She was relaxing, and she deserved that. All they long, she had been running around to keep both kids and adults entertained. A joy filled his heart, feeling blessed by the fact his wife was so amazing. She as the best mother he knew, and she took care of Emi so well, no matter if she was throwing a tantrum or not. She and Emi were his family, his own family... And he would always lovee them and take care of them, he had always wanted that, ever since the day Amanda had walked into his life. He walked up to Amanda, kissing her gently before taking her hand in his own. He gave it a little squeeze, pulling her with him towards Emi's bedroom. As they entered, he notived she was sleeping soundly, tired out by the party. He walked up to her crib, hugging Amanda from behind while looking at their little one with a wide smile. Softly he whispered: "Happy birthday little princess... Mummy and daddy love you..." The little leap his heart made showed him he was right, and he was happy he was... |
