Lincoln

Freya walks down the stairs with an air of confidence and something else I haven’t noticed before. She stops at the bottom of the stairs, looks directly at Aurelia, and smirks before walking towards Anton. “We’ll show them the pool area and where they can get changed, then we will get changed,” Anton tells her.

“Okay, Daddy.” She turns to look at me. I stopped near my mom and Aurelia, and I saw a flash of something cross Freya’s face. I don’t fully know what to name it, as it’s not

    5 years laterValerie“Anton, can you please get the fruit salad and bring it to the table out here?” I ask, carrying out a platter of finger sandwiches that Lucia and I made together. “Freya, what are you doing? Don’t get filthy,” I scold. “Marcus, please don’t dig in the garden. You know I need you to be clean.”“Mom, you are stressing too much,” Freya said, smiling. “You need to rest. We don’t want Dante to come out today.”“Freya Russo, I’m not due for another 10 weeks. I told you, we will get through this party, then I will relax. After all, my baby is only turning 13 once,” I tell her as she wraps me in a hug.“Marco, Mommy asked you not to do that,” Freya scolds with a sigh, then goes to her brother, pulls him to his feet, and brushes him off. “Come on, let’s go play with the ball.” I watch my oldest lead her little brother away from the flower garden to play with a ball. “Hey sis,” Gideon calls as he walks over and wraps me in a hug. “Are you going to make it?”“I o

    LincolnFreya falls asleep five pages into the book on Norse mythology. We were reading about Goddess Freya. I waited five more minutes before moving to ensure she was asleep. I fixed her blankets and kissed her forehead. “Good night, my angel. I love you,” I whispered to her before walking out of her room.I walked downstairs expecting to see Anton and Valerie on the sofa still, or at least one of them, but they are nowhere to be found. Great, did he forget he was going to order a ride for me? “Anton!” Valerie calls out. They went back to the kitchen? I walk to the kitchen, half expecting to see them goofing around as they always seem to be doing, but the kitchen is empty. “Anton!” She calls again a bit breathless. They are in the pool. Is he seriously tossing his pregnant wife into the pool?I open the door slightly and freeze. She’s on his lap with her legs spread over his shoulders as he’s lifting her up and down on his lap. “Anton… Oh… YES! ANTON!” she screams in p

    ValerieDinner was successful. Freya and Aurelia talked the entire meal as though they’d been friends the whole time. After dinner, Freya took Aurelia upstairs, leaving us adults down in the parlor. Anton sat down next to me on one end of the sofa, pulling my feet up to his lap as always to rub my ankles. “Freya is a sponge,” Betty states. “I explained buoyancy to the girls, and Freya began noticing each one.”“I told you, she loves science,” Lincoln replied. “When I told her you were a science teacher, she said it must be why she loves science too, because of her genetic traits.”“Valerie, thank you for inviting us today. I know we made some terrible choices, and I know we were not kind, but this is exactly what Aurelia needed,” Betty continued.“Freya needed it to. She’s the one who wants these relationships; it’s important she learns how to forgive. She’s got a big heart, but she’s also got a mean streak of holding grudges,” I replied.“I don’t know where she got that from

    FreyaI walk back into the pool room and see my mommy floating on a noodle near the diving board, while Aurelia and Grammy are still walking around. I run over to the bin of pool toys and dig out the rings and fish I use for diving practice. Then I enter the pool using the stairs and walk over to Aurelia and Grammy. “Aurelia, I am very sorry for being rude. I’m still angry with you for pushing me off the swing and calling me all those mean names. But Daddy Lincoln says you are my cousin, and family should forgive mistakes. Will you forgive me for being rude today?” “It’s okay. I was very mean to you and hurt you really badly. I’m sorry I pushed you off the swing that day. I didn’t mean to make you bleed. My mommy told me I had to push you and tell a lie so Lincoln would want to keep seeing me. Are we really cousins?”“Well, Grammy adopted your Mommy when she was a teenager, and that made her and Lincoln brother and sister. Because they are brother and sister, your mommy i

    Anton“Mommy!” Freya keeps crying and reaching behind me as I take her into the kitchen. I set her on the floor while kneeling in front of her. “You promised!” She punched my chest. “You said she wouldn’t go near Mommy!” She punched me again. “Now she’s in there alone with them. You lied!” She punched me a third time, and I pulled her into a hug to get her to stop hitting me.“Why are you hitting me? I don’t hit you,” I reasoned with her calmly. She doesn’t answer. She just sobs on my shoulder, her whole body vibrating with her rage. “Freya, Aurelia is scared right now.”“GOOD! She should be scared. I hate her,” Freya screamed.“Her mommy left her. Her daddy died before she was born, and now her mommy left her with Lincoln’s mom after getting the family in so much trouble they lost all their money, and Lincoln’s dad is in jail. Now Aurelia has no Daddy, and no mommy. Lincoln is so angry with her for being mean to you that he doesn’t even want to be near her. She liste

She locks eyes with me. “Come see the pool Daddy Anton built for me,” she announces to the whole room, but her eyes tell me she’s speaking to me.We follow her and Anton into the kitchen, where Valerie is working on prepping the sides for dinner. Anton detours to kiss Valerie as if she’s a magnet drawing him in. “Let Lucia do the rest. Your guests have arrived, and our daughter has worked herself into a fury that needs to be monitored before it flares up again,” Anto
