Along Came You A Beau to Beau short story
Fearing the worst as always, Greg hurried as fast as he could to be with Nicky. Out of breath after running from the parking lot to the school, Greg could barely speak when he walked into the nurse’s office. “What’s wrong? Is she sick? Did she fall?” “We’re not sure, Dr. Stevens. She said that her stomach hurt and that she wanted her daddy.”
“Okay. Where is she?”
Nichole took Greg’s hand and the two of them walked to the car. Once inside the car, Greg pulled Nicky onto his lap and held her like a baby. “What’s wrong, Nicky? Can you tell Daddy?” ****** Greg looked at the huge room that was cozy despite its size. The fireplaces were made of ivory and were gorgeous. They had carved faces set in the beauty of the ivory. “They are beautiful,” Greg said, as he looked at the fireplaces. Matthew watched and waited for Greg to notice what he hoped he would notice within the carvings. “These are unique, Matthew.” “What do you mean, Greg?” “It appears that in each there is a carving of a man with a child, and in this one there are two men with a child, but no woman. That is interesting.” “I thought so, too, Greg, when I finally took the time to really see them,” Matthew remarked, as he walked up behind Greg and put his arms around his waist. He kissed him on the back of his neck. “I rarely came up here, and I didn’t study these until probably ten years ago. I’ve often wondered what Grandfather was thinking when he had these put in. It’s a bit of a mystery, or perhaps Grandfather had some sort of premonition about his grandson.” Greg looked at Matthew. “Spooky, isn’t it?” “A little,” Matthew agreed.
