Chapter XIII"What's next, Martin?" he asked. "Naomi will send word if Glory needs me, right?" "She'll send word," George reassured me. "Where are Peter and Jeremi? What time is it there? They're due back home pretty soon. I want to see what happens when Jeremi and Jeannie get back together. I want to be there for their reunion." "Very well. Let's go." We went to Jeannie's apartment. She scurried around like she was getting ready for a big date. The girls watched her every move. "But we want to go with you!" Carole begged. "I told you, baby. You have to stay here. I want to spend some time alone with Emi. He's got a lot he says he wants to tell me and, well, he'll come over later and you girls can see him then," Jeannie explained. Pearl, Edwina and Marie laughed together. Marie said, "That makes twelve." They laughed harder. "Twelve what?" I asked. "Times that Carole has asked to go with her to get him. They're all excited about Jeremi coming back into town. She's a persistent one," Marie said about Carole. "But Mommeeee!" was interupted by the doorbell. "Saved by the bell," both Pearl said out loud and Jeannie muttered to herself simultaneously, which made all of us laugh louder. Jeannie answered the door. It was their babysitter, a young teenage girl, and her angel. "Hi! I'm almost ready. Carole, would you please show Ashleigh what I've pulled out for you for dinner?" Then she turned to the babysitter. "Keep them out here, please. Let me get finished dressing, then I'll get out of here." The babysitter acknowledged and followed a stomping Carole out to the kitchen. Marie buzzed by Carole's ear and said firmly, "Straighten up!" Carole stopped her stomping. Jeannie disappeared behind her bedroom door. When Lynne tried to follow her, the babysitter picked her up and played with her. A few minutes later Jeannie emerged from the bedroom. She looked very sharp, definitely ready to go out for the evening. "It would appear that they're going somewhere else after she picks them up from the airport," I said, but it was more of a question for Pearl. "Yes, she and Jeremi have plans to go out," Pearl confirmed. Jeannie kissed both the girls, gave the babysitter some final instructions and flew out the door before Carole could ask a thirteenth time to go with her. Pearl followed closely behind. We bid the girls' angels good-bye and we were off as well. Instead of going with Jeannie in the car ride to the airport, we joined Jeremi, Peter, and family in the air. Jeremi stared out the window, lost in his own thoughts. He had on my letterman's sweater. He looked anxious. Henry was nearby, so we joined him. "How's he doing?" I asked. "He's glad to be headed home," Henry said. "We just came from Jeannie's place; she's ready to have him back," George said. "She's a worrier," Henry said. "This whole time, Pearl said, all she's done is worry about him. He's had things to keep his mind occupied, but he did miss her, that's for sure. He misses you more, though, Martin. You're who's on his mind right now." "Then let's get his mind on Jeannie," I said. "I want him to quit moping around. Tell us a story about the two of them and make sure Jeremi can hear you." "Okay," Henry agreed. "Let's see." He thought for a moment. "A few weeks ago, Jeremi and Jeannie took the girls out to go bowling. Do you remember that, Jeremi? When you went to the bowling alley with the girls?" Jeremi was still deep inside his own thoughts. "Jeremi!" Henry clapped his hands near his face and Jeremi jumped. Jeremi looked around for a second to see if he could figure out what had just happened. Failing that, he shook his head, muttered lightly to himself and stared out the window again. "Okay, now that you're with us, Jeremi, let's tell the story of you and Jeannie taking the girls bowling. It was the first time you met the girls." A distant look and a slight smile crept onto Jeremi's face. "It was the middle of the day, so the bowling alley was fairly empty. There were only a couple of die-hard bowlers a few lanes away. You rented these funky-looking shoes and found a colorful bowling ball for Carole. Yours was slick black and had the name 'Al' engraved on it, so you called it 'Big Al' all night." Jeremi smiled wider, on one side of his mouth. "While Jeannie picked out her bowling ball, Lynne helped you enter the names in the machine. Since the girls were with you, you had them put the bumpers up. Carole went first, with her running self and threw the ball. Actually she did pretty good, as long as she ran straight. If she ran up at any angle at all, the ball zigzagged all the way down the lane. She bowled a fifty-six and a seventy-one, really good for a five-year-old. Jeannie did all right, too. But you and 'Big Al' and Lynne had quite a day. You put Lynne on your hip and bowled. You bowled a one-ninety-eight and a two-twenty-five, some of your best games ever." Jeremi's smile grew wider with each detail. "But then you realized you that you were using bumpers and if you bragged about it to anyone, you'd be clowned!" Jeremi shook his head, looked out the window and mumbled, "Uh, uh, uh." Peter sitting next to him, asked, "What?" Jeremi looked over at Peter and leaned back and tried to dismiss his question, "Oh nothing, I was just thinking of something." "What?" "Oh, this time I went bowling with Jeannie and her girls." "Oh, I see," Peter said sarcastically. "You see what?" Jeremi asked defensively. "Oh, nothing," Peter teased, knowing how he could drive his brother nuts with innuendo. "That's right, nothing!" Jeremi said firmly and looked out the window again. Peter laughed. Jeremi bit his lower lip to stop a laugh from breaking out. Eventually, he gave in and chuckled a little. "Just like when they were little," I said. A few minutes later the plane landed. Jeremi got off first. He could see Jeannie behind some other people, when he was about half way down the gateway. She tried to get a good vantage point, so she could see. When she got a glimpse of him, she went to the closest place she could. Peter and his family were behind him. Peter made them intentionally hang back, so they could watch Jeremi with Jeannie. As soon as Jeremi reached Jeannie at the end of the corridor, they embraced. She had both her arms around his neck. He had both his arms around her waist. They both squeezed very tight and he picked her up off the ground slightly. They fit well together. It reminded me of the Yin Yang. One side was black and one side was white, separately they were a strange shape, but put together, they formed a perfect shape. It was hard to tell where one started and the other stopped. I liked this. This was going to be all right. The embrace lasted a bit longer than the man behind them was willing to wait. An "Uh-hum," from him brought them both back into the moment. Jeannie looked down and blushed. Jeremi looked around for Peter and the family. When he saw them, he motioned for them to hurry up. Then he got out of the way and let the people behind him pass. "That was sweet," I told George and Henry. "Peter thought so, too," George pointed out. Peter and Melinda greeted Jeannie. Jeremi introduced Peter's kids to Jeannie as they all walked to the baggage claim. They got their bags and Jeannie drove them home. Once Jeremi had his things unloaded and put in his room, he and Jeannie left. They went to the pub to eat dinner, sing and talk. George, Henry, Pearl and I watched them from across the room. It was fun to watch Jeremi tell her about the dream. He described it in full detail, with great enthusiasm. His arms flew around. He talked fast. Jeannie was entranced and got chill bumps when he told her what Glory said about the sunrise and that I mentioned decorating it in his dream. Then he remembered he was wearing my sweater. He told her about how it just "fell" on him when he was alone. He told her a few of the elaborate details of the rest of that night, however, he kept much of it in. When he told her about the funeral and the brilliantly lit cross, they both started to tear up. When he finished, she told him of some of her similar experiences with Jack's death. How she thought he'd painted rainbows for his wife and made flowers bloom out of season, for her. How she thought he'd put on a personal lightning storm for the family because they always used to love to watch lightning storms roll in. Jeremi started to fall back into sadness when Henry went over and whispered in his ear for him to ask about the girls. Jeremi did and Jeannie regaled him with wonderfully cute stories of the everyday life of her little girls. He told Jeannie how much he had missed them and her. He smiled. The pub had started the Karaoke for the night. Jeannie and Jeremi had both put in several song tickets. They were eating their salads when he got called up to sing for the first time. He sang a beautiful love song, about a "One in a Million" love affair. Jeremi, being the showman he is, made every woman there think he sang it directly to her. Jeannie enjoyed watching him sing. She also enjoyed watching the other people stop what they were doing as soon as he sang his first note. He commanded a presence on stage that was remarkable. I loved watching him, too. Pearl told me that Jeannie loved their evenings together, up until his first song. After that, they were never alone again, until they left the pub. His singing was so memorable that many people in the pub came to tell him how wonderfully he sang. He was always very gracious to his fans. Some came up and asked him to sing duets with them. Unless Jeremi had seen them sing before and knew what they sounded like, he usually declined. Then there were some young women who pulled chairs to their table to talk to him. They pretended that Jeannie was invisible. It was these women that ruined the rest of the night for Jeannie. Jeremi should've asked them to leave, but instead he made some blatantly romantic gesture for Jeannie's sake to get the point across to them who he was with. As soon as one left, another showed up. Some bought him drinks and requested he do a special song for them. Jeremi drank up this attention, quite literally. This was all still very new to Jeannie. All this attention made her really uncomfortable. When both Jeremi and Jeannie sang songs, they enjoyed themselves. So that compensated for some of the other stressors of the evening. Last call had been made on songs, so they decided to leave. They went back to Jeannie's place. The girls were already tucked into their beds when Jeannie and Jeremi got there. The babysitter was watching TV. Her angel was reading a book beside her. Jeannie walked the babysitter home. Jeremi checked on the girls. He sat down on Carole's bed and rubbed her back to see if she woke up easily. Marie whispered in her ear excitedly, "Jeremi's here!" Carole rolled over quickly and saw him. She hugged him tight around his neck. He hugged her tight. "Mommy said you might be sad the next time I saw you. Are you sad?" Carole asked. "A little," Jeremi said. "But if I got another big hug from you it'd really help." Carole squeezed tighter. "I just wanted to get a hug. You get back to sleep now. I'll see you in the morning." "But --" Carole started. "Shhh," Jeremi said. "You'll wake up your sister. Your mama will be back soon and she'd shoot me if she knew I woke you up. So keep this our secret. Okay?" Carole snuggled back under the covers as Jeremi tucked her in. He kissed her on the forehead. He went to Lynne's bed and kissed his fingers and touched her cheek. Jeannie returned in time to catch Jeremi sneaking out of the girl's room. "Did you wake them up?" she asked with her hands on her hips, in a failed attempt to look disgusted. Actually, I think she thought it was sweet. "Me?" he looked at the ceiling to avoid eye contact. Jeannie tried to pass him in the narrow hallway to go check on the girls, but he grabbed her as she went by and kissed her passionately. "I've been waiting all night for that," he said, when they decided to come up for air. They kissed again quickly, then broke apart. Jeannie went in to check on the girls. Jeremi peeked in. Carole closed her eyes really hard in an effort to look asleep. Jeannie glanced toward the door. She gave him another disgusted look, to which he shrugged his shoulders. She shook her head and smiled slightly. She kissed Carole on the cheek, then she kissed Lynne. "Sweet dreams, baby girls!" she whispered and quietly shut their door. As soon as Carole heard the door close, she smiled. I bet she thought that she had fooled her mother. Jeannie followed Jeremi into the bedroom and their door closed. I watched the other angels for their lead. Were they going to follow them or give them privacy? "What now?" I asked. "We go," George said. "They will be all right. Marie has the house tonight, so we can go. She will summon us if she needs us." "This is a special night, Martin," Pearl said. "This is the night your charge will be conceived." I could feel my eyes get big. "Already?" They all nodded in the affirmative. "I've got to tell Glory!" I said. "Okay, let's go," George said. Glory sat at the kitchen table. Sarah and Vivian were there with her. Their angels stood behind them, rubbed their shoulders. Naomi and Grandmama greeted us. Vivian's angel, Goldie, smiled brightly. "May I?" I asked Naomi. She happily relinquished her position and I took her place rubbing Glory's shoulders. Glory readjusted in her seat. I think she sensed a change. "Naomi, Grandmama, Goldie, I want you to meet Pearl. This is Jeannie's Guardian Angel. Jeannie is the mother of our future grandson." They all smiled and extended her a warm welcome. "Tell us about Jeannie," Naomi requested. "Jeannie, oh, my!" Pearl exclaimed. "She's a sweet one, but stubborn like all the rest of her family. She has a really strong sense of humor. Her favorite part of life is being a mother. She's completely devoted to two very sweet baby girls and soon, her baby boy. She works to support her family. She's a computer expert and does very well at it. She has a few really good friends and a lot who, she will find, are only fair-weather friends. She gets along easily with people, until they hurt her feelings. She needs to work on her forgiveness, but that's another story." "What happened to the girls' father?" Naomi asked. "He chose a career over his family. He left them for it. When she reached her limit of loneliness in the marriage, she challenged him on it. It was a long, very hard time for her. She gave him many chances and she endured the loneliness for the sake of the girls having a father. They always came first for her. The girls got her through the lonely time and the separation. She and their father are still friendly." "That's good," Naomi responded. "It's so nice to meet you. Baby girl here," she said, referring to Glory, "is worried to death about Jeremi. She was just saying how much she wished she could've spent some more time with him when he was here." Pearl went on to further describe Jeannie to them, but I decided to tune into Glory's conversation. "And I think he slept out there the night before the funeral," Sarah confided to the group. "There were bottles of beer hidden under the other trash in the can that I found this morning." "Oh Lord. Something's gonna have to happen," Glory said, referring to Jeremi's irresponsible state. "The rate he's going, it's gonna have to happen to him, if you know what I mean," Sarah said, slightly disgusted. "He did say he was seeing someone up there. A lady, with two kids, I think." Glory's look changed from worried to intrigued. She wanted more details. "They met at the pub, she sings a little." Glory sighed. "What does Peter think of her?" Vivian asked. "He knows who she is. That's about all. It's a new relationship, a month or two tops," Sarah continued. "Oh," Glory said, a little disappointed. "Well, something's gotta happen. He needs to change from what he's doing now, that's for sure," Sarah said. Then she got up from the table and cleared her dishes. She kissed both Glory and Vivian goodnight. Sarah and Grandmama left. "I should go, too," Vivian said. "It's been a long day. I have a lot of work to catch up on at home." Glory knew the only reason Vivian had gotten behind on her work was because Viv had spent every waking moment of the past few days here. "I'll call you in the morning," Vivian said and cleared her dishes. She hugged Glory, grabbed her purse and let herself out. Glory stayed seated at the table. She put her hands together and bowed her head, resting it on her hands. "Lord, please have mercy on Jeremi. Please open his eyes to his drinking problem and let him overcome it. Lord, please wake him up." She paused. "Amen." "You see," George said, "God is answering prayers. That was a vague prayer, to be sure. But when you're at a loss as to how to get something accomplished, just give it up to the Lord. God answers your prayers in ways you never imagined or thought possible. Believe me, very few on earth will see Jeremi's new situation as the answer to that prayer right away. But someday, when everyone looks back on this situation, they will see it. It will be crystal clear. God is the only one with crystal-clear foresight. He does let us angels in on it from time to time." George was so wise. I was so lucky to have him as my Guardian Angel. Glory got up and went to bed. I stayed with her. Henry, George and Pearl took Naomi back to Jeannie's house. Glory got ready for bed, tried to read a book briefly, but had too much on her mind to concentrate. She put the book down, turned out the light and stared up at the ceiling for a while. I told her about all the things that were happening to me, like I used to. When I was alive and excited about something, I'd just talk and talk. She seemed like she was listening now as she had then. For a little while, I felt like I was alive again and she really could hear me. It was a nice moment. After she fell asleep, I rested there with her, watched her, stroked her face and held her hand all night long. I got lost in her beauty. When morning neared, Naomi returned. "What happened?" I asked. "We went to Jeannie's," Naomi explained. "They were all sleeping. Pearl showed me around and told me all about Jeannie, Lynne and Carole. I'll prepare baby girl here about the child. It'll be just fine. Did you have a good night?" "Pretty good," I said. "She slept peacefully. I enjoyed watching her." "I know you being nearby made a difference. She's been tossing and turning, sleeping restlessly since you passed. She will sleep well again soon," Naomi reassured me. "Thanks for the night off. I enjoyed getting to know Pearl and her family." "Thanks for the night here," I said. "I enjoyed being home." "George told me to tell you to meet him back in the garden when you're ready." I kissed Glory good-bye for the moment. She stirred slightly. Then I went to Sarah's room and kissed her, then to Sheila's children's rooms and kissed them. Finally, I went to meet George in the garden. |
