Depression

Celine's POV:

I woke up and everything felt the same like yesterday. I felt like I couldn't do anything and I changed my side to face the window. Rene has said I should got up from bed but I didn't feel I could do it. I just wanted to be in my bed and sleep. I heard how someone knocked and opened the door. "Mom?" I heard RC's voice and I slowly faced him. "Yes darling" I tried to sound like I normally do when I talk to him. "Are you coming to see my baseball game?" he asked with a hope in his eyes. I didn't want to let him down but I couldn't get up. "I'm sorry darling but I think I can't come on this time" as I said that I saw how a little hope in his eyes was gone. I have said 'I can't come in this time' many times before and he knew that. "Okay" he tried to smile and slowly closed the door. I felt more shit after that but it doesn't matter anymore. I was so tired for doing anything. Sometimes I felt I was too tired even breathe. I turned to face the window again and closed my eyes.

Rene's POV:

After Celine gave birth twins she has been like this. A couple of days she was like she always is, happy and energetic. But after those days she changed a lot and actually I've never seen her like this. Therese said this will go away and it's just postnatal depression but it really scared me. Rene-Charles was worried about Celine and even he didn't tell me about it, I could saw how he missed his mom. Twins needed their mother as well and I couldn't just watch Celine sleeping and crying all day long, every single day.

RC came from our bedroom to downstairs with tears in his eyes. I knew what was wrong but I wanted to help my son. "She said no?" I asked and RC sat next to me. He just nodded and watched TV. Therese came with Nelson and Linda came with Eddy. "Isn't Celine got up today?" Therese asked and sat on the couch. I shook my head. "She will be better any time soon when she realizes how amazing husband and children she has" Linda tried to make me feel better and I gave a small smile. "I think I should go to talk to her" I said and looked at Therese like asking a permission. She nodded and I got up.

I took a deep breathe and opened our bedroom door. First I didn't see Celine anywhere and I scared the worst. Then I heard water from our bathroom and it calmed me down. Celine opened bathroom's door and I saw how she has been crying. "Mon amour..." I whispered and she walked right into my arms. I knew she hasn't eaten but now I realized it when I felt how small she actually was. "You have to eat something my love" I kissed her forehead and took her hair away from her face. "I'm not hungry, I just want to go to sleep" she was about to go to bed but I didn't let her. "Celine, you can't keep sleeping every day, all day long. You have family, you remember?" I felt how tears fell from her cheeks and I held her tightly. "I can't do it Rene! I can't be a mom!" she cried into my neck and I tried do comfort her. "Of course you can Celine. You are the best mom I've ever seen and your boys loves you so very much. I love you Celine and we all need you" I cupped her beautiful face in my hands. "Do you hear me? We all love you and we need you" I looked into her tired and wet eyes. I kissed her soft lips and she kissed me back. After we broke to catch our breathes she leaned on my chest and wrapped her arms around my neck. "If I promise I will get up tomorrow, can I go back to bed now?" I heard her weak voice. I thought it for a few seconds because I really wanted to see my old beautiful and life-loving wife back. "Sure" I smiled and kissed her forehead. She walked slowly into our bed and I closed the door after me.

Rene's POV:

When I feed twins with Linda and put them to sleep I went to RC's room to watch how he was doing. "Can I come?" I knocked and opened the door. "Yes" RC said and I walked and sat next to him on his bed. "I know you are worried about mom and you miss her but I promise she will be back soon, okay?" I looked at my son and saw how much he looked like my wife. "Yeah, I guess so" RC said quietly. "Come here" I said and hugged him tightly. "Your mom loves you very much and you have to give her a little time" I felt how RC hugged me back and how he leaned his head on my shoulder. "Thanks dad" he whispered and I smiled.

After I wished the good nights to RC and Therese and Linda I went to our bedroom. I sneaked into our bed and felt how Celine wrapped her arms around me. "I missed you" I heard her quiet voice. "I missed you too" I whispered and pulled her close to me. I stroked her back and felt how easily she fell asleep in my arms. After a little while I fell asleep as well.

Celine's POV:

I woke up and everything felt the same like usually. I felt like I could do everything and I changed my side to face Rene's side. He was already woken up and I heard how someone knocked and opened the door. "Mom?" I heard RC's voice and I smiled. "Yes darling, come here" I said and he walked towards me. "Did you sleep well?" Rene-Charles sat next to me and I kissed his cheek. "Yes I did" he smiled. "What were you asking?" I asked and he got up. "Are you coming to see my baseball game today?" he asked with a hope in his eyes. I took his hand in mine and I got up as well. "Of course I'm coming" and I saw how this little hope in his eyes changed for happiness. "Shall we go to eat some breakfast?" I opened the door and we went to downstairs.

RC ran towards Rene and told smiling how I was going to see his game today. Mom and Linda was already eaten twins and I made a cup of coffee for myself. "Good morning" I felt Rene's arms around my waist and smile came to my face. "Good morning" I turned around and pecked his lips. "So you are coming to RC's game today, right?" I drank my coffee and nodded. "Of course I'm coming" I kissed Rene's cheek and went to see Eddy and Nelson who were more than excited to see their mom.
