hospital but why would they know where Luke was?
Sadi sat down to wait. She almost wished that the children were awake so she could have something to do to keep her hands busy. As it was, the worry was driving her insane. Finally she got up and went to the kitchen and started sterilizing bottles and washing dishes.
Finally Connor was awake and his cries woke up the baby. Sadi quickly put on her baby wearing sling and tucked Katelyn inside where she could be safely carried. Sadi retrieved her son, who, although he was walking and tearing through life at an amazing speed, still liked to cuddle with her in the morning. If she tried to put him down right after he woke up it was tantrum city.
Sadi fed Katelyn and got Connor seated in his high chair with a bowl of dry cereal and fresh fruit puree. She knew that more of it was likely to end up all over the place than in Connor’s mouth but she wasn’t worried. That’s what snack time was for.
When the sun rose and Sadi still hadn’t heard from Luke she was beyond worried. She tried calling his cell again but he didn’t answer. The only option left was to call the hospital.
Sadi dialed the number feeling ridiculous. She had no idea what she was going to say. A receptionist answered and Sadi explained what had happened and who she and Luke were. The woman told her to hold on a moment then she put her though to a room number.
Sadi was so confused as she listened to the tinny ringing sound. Why was she being put through to a room? There was nothing wrong with Luke. He couldn’t be a patient. He had just left the house an hour ago. She hung up quickly, thinking there must be some misunderstanding.
She decided to get the children ready. She tucked the baby into her car seat with a soft blanket wrapped around her, cleaned and dressed Connor, then was ready to leave the house. It was a small miracle when Sadi could get anywhere with two small babies in under an hour. Both children seemed to sense something was wrong and they cooperated with her for once.
Sadi drove to the hospital carefully. She had traded in her black sports car for an SUV with a big back seat for the children. She had always dreaded driving the mom mobile, but she found she loved it. Plus it wasn’t a van, although she wasn’t completely opposed to that idea. There was nothing wrong with being a mom. Sadi loved it more than anything on earth.
It was an odd twist of fate that as Sadi was trying to enter the hospital, carrying a car seat with a sleeping baby and leading a wild eighteen month old by the hand, that Luke should come out. They stared at each other in confusion for a second. Sadi saw the look on Luke’s face. It was one of absolute mortification.
“What on earth?” Sadi said as she went and hugged Luke. She lifted up Connor so that Luke could take the little boy in his arms.
“Da da, da da,” Connor said excitedly.
Luke smiled despite himself. “Hey there, buddy.” He turned to Sadi. “Why don’t we go sit down on that bench over there and I can tell you what happened.”
Sadi nodded and allowed herself to be led woodenly over to the metal park bench Luke had pointed to.
“Connor is alive,” Luke whispered as Sadi sat down. It took Sadi a second to understand Luke was talking about his brother.
“What?” Sadi stammered. “How…. Oh my god Luke! Shouldn’t that be amazing news?” She was totally confused. What was going on? It had been almost three years since the bombing. How could Connor be alive and not have contacted Luke before now?
