He doesn't turn around but instead keep looking at the picture and says,"You look so sad."
That takes me completely by surprise.I dont' know why though.I guess because no one's ever been so observant about that picture.I had already lost two of my babies by the time that picture was taken and I was terrified about losing Kevin too,which ultimately I did.
"That was my son." I reply curtly wondering why I just blurted that out to him considering he is a stranger and feeling very annoyed with myself

And then I see the images. There just as fast as usual but this time with each image I feel like I'm starting to get to know someone I want to know for ever. I see her as a little girl with her best friend and parents. Her devestation when her mum dies of cancer at ten years old and she decides to be a oncologist. Her two best friends talking at school, one a short female with blonde hair, the other, male and wirey looking.
Her unbearable sadness when her dad dies at nineteen. Her boyfriend and her kissing and the contentness she feels with him. Her frustration when her male best friend's dad dies and she couldn't save him. And then I see a few hours before...when she was so nervous to come and see me.... and the feeling of coming home when she did.
I slowly move my hands away and look at her. "It worked for me...did it work for you?" I ask nervously.

"That was my son."
He doesn't really look like her. Is my first thought and then I realize she talked in the past tense. Oh. Guess that explains why there are no kids running around or toys everywhere.
"I'm sorry." I say as I finally turn around, the words sounding hollow even in my own ears so I feel the need to add something. "My mother died when I was 12 and my father died a few years ago, I know how horrible it is to lose someone you love but ... I guess losing a child is even worse than losing your parents."

"I'm sorry." he says and I nod my head and look away for a moment
Thinking of my babies always brings tears in to my eyes and I have to blink them away so that I don't look silly in front of a complete stranger
"My mother died when I was 12 and my father died a few years ago, I know how horrible it is to lose someone you love but ... I guess losing a child is even worse than losing your parents."
I feel bad for him.That means he's alone with no family.At least I have Max and Michael.
"Yes it is." I answer sadly "It's like a part of you dies.I didn't think I'd survive losing them but I pulled through with brothers' support and love."

"Them?" I echo softly, slightly dazed. Losing one child must be horrible but two or more ... shit. She didn't mention a husband or boyfriend though, interesting, did he die too? Then I notice she's teary eyed.
"Damn, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry!"

"Them?"
I smile at him sadly,"Yes I had three beautiful babies."
"Damn, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry!"
I wave my hand in the air,"No it's okay,it's not your fault.I,it's still hard to think about them and not get emotional.I'm okay,really."
I head for the stairs,but before taking the first one I look at him,"If you want to wait for Max you can do that in the living room,it's no problem.He should be back soon" I say looking at my watch impatiently "He's been gone long enough."

"It would be weird if you weren't getting emotional." I say with a soft smile, thinking back to my parents. Damn, I hardly remember my mom's voice anymore.
"If you want to wait for Max you can do that in the living room,it's no problem.He should be back soon "He's been gone long enough."
She does not sound happy and i don't know if it's just because of the Antarian-Human wedding or because I brought up her babies. Three children, wow.
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to wait for another 30 minutes but then I'll really go. But ... if you'd rather have me leave like originally planned, I totally understand."

I'm suddenly thrown from the flashes and brought back to the hotel room. "It worked for me...did it work for you?" he asks.
I stare at him. "You're beautiful," I whisper. Then I redden. "I didn't mean to say that out loud. I was just so blown away by your beautiful soul," I confess, my eyes darting away. Trying to reclaim my dignity somewhat, I ask, "I did see an older woman with a warm smile and blonde hair as well as a younger woman with long blonde hair. Who are they?"

Just call me Phoenix...cause I'm back from the dead!

"It's quite alright." I tell him "I wouldn't have offered if it was a problem."
Out of the corner of my eye I see the housekeeper and call out to her,"Hannah,would you get Mr.Whitman something to eat and drink.He's going to wait for Max for a while longer."
When she disappears I look at him again,"I have to go freshen up." I say waving my hand over my present attire which isn't much "I will join you shortly.Please make yourself comfortable."
Taking the steps quickly I reach the top floor and head in to my room quickly,eager to get away from his kind yet intense gaze.

"I will join you shortly.Please make yourself comfortable."
"Okay, thank you." I say, watching her walk up the stairs in her very skimpy bikini. Thank God I didn't stare!
Looking at the housekeeper, I say, "I don't need anything to eat or drink. I'll just sit there and ... you can pretend I'm not here."
With that, I put my bag down again and walk over to the couch, sitting down with a sigh, leaning my head against the back of the couch. I guess the flight got me more tired than I thought.
