The job of motherhood and fatherhood just started for them.
It was not going to be an easy job, but Joseph was resolved, to help out as much as he could.
Once again, they were alone, while Joseph prepared their milk, incase, they wake up again.
"You are doing more for her, are you related to Maxwell? Petranilla was asking Joseph, because, she could see, that he was ready to do everything for her.
"Yes" he simply said, and continued with the mixing. The baby girl woke up again, and Joseph carried her and started feeding her.
"Anna was this how you disturbed your parents? He teased, he was gradually getting comfortable, but not with the glaring eyes of Petranilla on him.
"I didn't disturb, maybe their father did? She answered. Teasing him back. If they had been in the house, he would have tickled her, and made her repeat what she had said,but they had company, he just held himself, but he knew he won't be able to do that for so long, because, her lips was already calling to him.
He wants to show her how so inlove he was with her at the moment.
Watching the babies, reminded him, that it has always been love. He probably thought he slept with her, because he wanted to have his revenge on Andrew, but he has come to realise, that he has always been inlove with her, he was just lying to himself, she was the one woman, that was able to change him, that was able to make him feel sorry. That one person, he is inlove with, and was ready more than willing, to die for.
The babies began to wake up again, this was just the begining, Joseph shook the milk he had mixed for the kids and carried the first boy, and started feeding him, Petranilla, carried the other bottle and started feeding the second boy, while Anna decided to breast feed the baby girl.
They have not names the kids, she needed to hear Joseph name them, but since they didn't want to be discovered, she kept her cool, waiting for when she would be alone with Joseph.
But will se ever be alone? Not now, when the entire Anderson, must be warming up to come and pay her a visit.
"I want to name this pretty Angel". Petranilla said, grabbing the baby girl from Anna and tapping her back, to make sure what she just had digests.
She didn't notice the effect if what she caused, just by mentioning Angel, it felt like Anna was taken aback, she started sobbing.
"Where is my Angel, I am out now, and yet u cannot see her". Joseph didn't like the fact that she was crying.
She had been acting so strong, she even said, Andrew was the one with Angel, and he would not hurt his own daughter, so no one should worry, and then, here she was, crying.
Joseph knew he could not hide himself anymore, or stand afar, he moved closed to her, and gathered her in his arms.
We will find her I promise, let me get you something to eat, but just as he opened the door, Anna's parents walked in with a bowl of hot peppery soup, and white rice.
Anna wanted to get up to hug them, she missed them so much.
Anna you look so good". Her mother said, and she smiles, she wanted to say, 'thanks to Joseph, but she knew, it was not the time and place.
"Thank God you came mum, I am really hungry. She said, and urge Joseph to be quick with the opening of the flask.
When she perceived what was cooked, she inhaled happily, and started eating.
Petranilla was happy, that she had stopped crying, she decided to excuse them, to give them a chance to bond, she was begining to feel sick, she went back to the hall and found Peter, and Paul and Miles, discussing.
Anthony must still be with his mother, he didn't like leaving her sight, since he heard she was sick, he had also seem to fall sick with her.
"We need to call Andrew, he needs to know that his wife had been seen and has given birth to the kids of that bastard". Maxwell heard them, and pretended not to, he was the one that called Anna's parents, and told them to come with something for her to eat, he was determined to clear the air, he wanted Joseph and Anna to live a normal life, free from hiding, they could not hide, for the test of their lives.
Joseph also thought he should excuse them, they needed to spend sometime with their daughter, they haven't seen her in months and they had been worried about her, even though, they know she is alive, but they had been really worried.
Anna was rushing the food, she was really enjoying herself, for once, all the attention, was shifted to food. Anna have chosen food over him, and as he walked out the door, he looked back and only saw her look up and winked at him. He smiles, guessing what was going on in her mind.
"I know you want to eat, but I am not going to share". He could hear her say that, as she winked at him and licked her lips, showing him, that she was really enjoying herself.
Though he wished he had been prepared before she went into labour, he wanted to be the one to make a wonderful medicinal soup for her, but seeing what her mother prepared, he was still okay with it.
When he was out of sight, Anna looked at his parents again and hugged them, she felt happy to be out.
"Mother, did you hear, Angel is missing?Anna asked her mother, and she nodded.
"I heard so my dear, bit when I called someone at Andrew's house, he told me, that Angel was at the house sleeping, that her father, brought her that night, and told them, not to tell anyone, that Angel was there.
"What? Anna asked, shocked, she could not believe what she was hearing. She had thought of it too, but she could never have known, that Andrew would stoop so low, as to kidnapp his own daughter and make people believe that she was missing.
"Mother, you mean, Angel is at home right now? She asked, she wanted to be sure, she searched her mother's face for clarification, and then she got what she wanted.
"Please, get me Petranilla and Miles". She said, and her brother, who have not said anything since he walked in with their parents spoke up.
"I'll go get them". Soon they were both in the house and she told them.
"Andrew is keeping Angel at his house, he wants you all to think she is missing, maybe he wanted me to come out, and now that I am out, please I want to see my daughter, I don't know how possible it is, but Angel is in the house, I know he is not going to hurt her, bit I don't even want to give him a reason to hurt my daughter". She was literally, begging them, without saying a word, Miles, went back to his brother's, and told them, they told Petranilla, to stay behind, because of her condition, while the Anderson brothers drove back to Andrew's house.
Andrew was already at home, he wanted the hospital to be cleared, so that he would show himself, he watch as his daughter slept, and then he whispered.
"Thank you for giving me the idea".
After he followed Petranilla and Miles, thinking they were going to where Anna was, he saw that he only took her home, he went back to the house, since the couple didn't leave with his daughter, he had wanted her to spend the night with his parents, but when he got to her room, to read her a bed time story, she was hiding in the closet.
He searched, and searched, until he heard her scream, he opened the door, and saw her hiding.
"Yaaa, you found me! She exclaimed, and rushed to hug him.
"Okay your turn, go and hide, let me find you". She said, and he did, but while they were playing the game, he thought of how he could use the game, to bring Anna out, so after singing to her, she slept, and he carried her, without anyone knowing, straight to the house.
His plans was just to get Petranilla scared, to get her to talk, and probably call Anna to come out, but it became a really serious source of fear.
Every one had been so worried, the news even got to Anna sooner than he thought thought it would.
He laughed at his deviousness, but his celebration was cut short, when he heard a knock, and before he could answer, his brother's were already, entering his room.
He could not hide her, it was too late, they watch as he lay on the bed with Angel, who was sleeping.
