There For You

Season: Fall
Members of Household: Anton Keyes, Dominique Keyes

Dominique hadn’t planned on setting in their new home all by herself.  Yet here she was, her stomach as being as a beach ball, waiting for the furniture company to drop off their new stuff.  Anton had to go to work, according  to him he need to be there everyday if he was “going to make” things happen.

Instead of staring at the empty street in front if the house she decided to head in and see if her mother wanted to come over and keep her company.  The house had come only with the basic, which included a phone which she was grateful for.  As she dialed Victoria’s number she prayed the furniture would arrive early.  So she could kick up her feet and relax.

She was thrilled when her mother showed up with her sister Jean in tow.  Now there were three pairs of eyes to make sure everything got put in the right place and nothing was damaged.  Maybe she could kick up her heels while they do the watching.

Dominique quickly realized that calling her mother was the best thing she could have done.  Victoria took the lead and had everything running smoothly.  All she had to do was sit back and relax.  By the time Anton returned everything was set and Victoria and Jean were heading out the door.

No sooner had Victoria and Jean left than Janet came in with food.

“I know you must be hungry.  So, I brought you an early dinner.  Get the plates and I’ll serve. ” Janet was a blessing since Dominique was tired to cook dinner and Anton was completely hopeless int the kitchen.

Anton and Dominique loved the new place.  It was so much bigger than the tiny house they just left.  Before they could barely be in the kitchen together without bumping into each other.  Now there were three bathrooms to choose from and 5 rooms waiting for furniture.  Now they could lay on the grass and look at the stars and just enjoy their space.

“At least, the nursery is ready” Dominique said inhaling the crisp fall air into her lungs and feeling the baby kick in response.  “Maybe when we have saved a little, I can do a study-music room combo.”

Anton enjoyed this moment.  Laying in the grass talking about their future.  Maybe somewhere in the back of his mind there was a thought or two about Kimberly Duffy.  He tried his hardest to not let those thought surface.  She was the past and they had dated only briefly.  But her death made him appreciate Dominique in a whole new way.  IT made him want to pursue his dreams more.

“See that star.  That’s our star”  He pointed to the night sky.

“It’s the brightest one.”

“Yep” Anton said with a smile.

********************************************************************************

Anton was esthetic.  Yes, Dominique was across the room screaming her head off as labor pains took over her body but was finally coming.

He couldn’t keep the smile off his faces as he asked “What should I do?”  as loud as he could, hoping that she could hear him over the sound of her screams.

Victoria arrived early to Dominique and Anton’s house after she made a quick trip to the hospital to check on her daughter and newest grandchild, Tiffany Marie.  She made sure everything was prefect and greeted Dominique at the door as Anton got Tiffany.

Dominique and Victoria followed Anton up the stairs as he took baby Tiffany to her new room.  They couldn’t wait to cuddle her and shower her with attention.

• Anton Keyes and Kimberly Duffy dated briefly (click here and here for old post).  I didn’t want her death to go by unnoticed to everyone except Robin Duffy.  So, I had Anton reflect on it a little since Virginia doesn’t seem that bothered by it.
• This house is huge.  I didn’t realize it was so big when I moved them in.  It has four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs and 1 full bathroom downstairs.  In addition to that downstairs it has a kitchen, dinning room, living room and 2 extra rooms.  I hope Anton and Dominique plan to fill that house up with kids or else it is going to be a huge waste of space.
