A week later...

11th of April, 1965





Jude's POV









A week had already passed since Timothy had arranged with Grace to visit us with her family. 

By the way, me and my husband woke up in the early morning as usually, doing every day the daily stuff for our evocation, had a breakfast, washed every filthy dish and mug. Then we started to clean every room by vacuuming the floor, wiping the furnitures of the dust with a rag cloth, opening the windows in every room for around a half an hour at least. Purifying the stagnaty air itself as a new, fresh air could be naturally smelled. 

As I wore a watermelon pink floral short sleeved top with square neckline, followed by a black, loose, knee length skirt. My hair was tied in messy bun as a handful honey curls of my hair weren't attached to the tied part of the hair, as they bounced loosely every time whatever I do either as an action or move. 

The baby's room walls abided in yellow color yet, yesterday had shopped with Timothy for furnitures, buying a few more furnitures such as toys, doll house, one more crib in case if I give a birth to twins instead of just a sole child; a rectangle mattress and a handful more eye-catching, sumptuous paintings vintage ones. It was more embellished unlike a several weeks ago when there were a couple of furnitures though the only missing fragment was actually the life in the room, for sadly. 

As we had already cleaned the entire house which took us 2 hours and 30 minutes as a total time, we determined ourselves to bombshell our guests with something remarkable. Baking cookies! The baking process didn't take us a lot of time. Just an hour took us to bake the cookies as it was already 11:30AM in the late morning.







Sometime later...









It was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon as we were still expecting our guests to arrive as soon as possible. As I sipped of my fresh, cool water, all of a sudden someone rang on the door as I chocked accidentally the water that I swallowed, coughing as I headed directly to the door whilst coughing. Meanwhile Timothy came from the living room as he read the newest weekend newspaper, witnessing my coughing as he asked me just a little before to unlock the door:





-Rare bird, are you okay?- He asked concerned as his eyes were filled with care and affection.









-Yes, I am. I just chocked some water unintentionally.- Coughed for a last time as I hope this tedious cough evaporates momentally, covering my mouth with my palm.







-Alright! *unlocking the door as we stood next to each other, hence, opening it with broad, promising smiles across our lips* Here we go! Hi Grace, Kit and children!- We embraced each guest friendly and warmly in the same time as they were rather too euphoric to see us.







-Hi Judy and Timothy!- The both guests greeted us politely in one voice as our embrace didn't last for long time.









-Hi Grace, Kit and cutiepies! - I told them including to Julia and Thomas as I crouched down to take them into my arms, hugging them firmly and warmly, then broke off the hug as it was Timothy's turn.











-Hello auntie Judy and uncle Timothy!- The both children addressed us "auntie" and "uncle" which I find for tremendously adorable and melting my heart, to be honest.









Then Kit, Grace and their children entered in our house as they established themselves in the corridor, asking us if they should take off their shoes as they removed their lightweight jackets, hanging them on the hooks. We didn't mind if they were with shoes at home unless if they don't render any mess afterwards.
