September 26 Another Life (Part 7)Jonathan let out a giggle. He loved being bounced on Ian's knee. Unaware of Rachael's warm, contented gaze, Ian continued to play with his firstborn. The once brilliant sunset was in its final stages, resisting and not quite relenting to the night which would eventually replace it. Though she would never admit it, Rachael was fulfilling what she saw as a wife's duty - to make dinner for her family. The forth member of the Masters family was currently in her womb, barely two months from her birth.
Rachael brushed the carrot scraps aside and began to chop the broccoli. The monotonous banging of the knife on wood helped Rachael's mind drift. Her thoughts fluttered from one topic to another, caressing but not embracing her worries, concerns, insecurities, dreams and desires. She floated off, rhythmically tapping away at the tangible reality in front of her, while the intangible ideas in her mind tempted, teased and twisted at her daydreams.
Lost in the waking dreamstate, Rachael did not realise that she was, at this moment, the most satisfied that she had ever been in her life. She would be happier, sadder, angrier, but never more content with her reality. TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
