Jordan (Urs Father) & Aina (Urs Mother)
Chapter 28 They left after 2 days and flew to North Carolina; Urs knew that Michele was missing home and Timble. He had planned for them to go to London before going over to Switzerland, but this was more important. Michele was thrilled when they arrived at the jet that would take them to Asheville. She hoped he wasn’t too disappointed, that for now they would not get to see the London place and make plans for it.
Once they arrived back at the Swiss Cottages, they got settled and talk to Angie about how the B & B was doing. Michele had spent time talking to her while they had been in New York, and in Denver, but it felt great seeing and hearing that the place had been filled up while she had been away.
They were lucky that most of the guests had gone, and they had time to look around and see if anything needed taken care of before Urs had to leave. Michele called her doctor at Urs’s insistence, and made an appointment for that afternoon.
Urs went with her to the appointment, and after the doctor did all the tests and checked on her Blood Pressure, he asks to see both of them in his office. He was concerned that her BP was still up, and didn’t want her to travel outside the States, at least till they had it under control again. This upset Michele a great deal when Urs decided to go on to Switzerland and let her rest, and get things settled here at the B & B.
They still had to get the house in Geneva, and then make plans to move there. Timbles papers had to be done, and they needed to find out what had to be done to have him sent to Switzerland. They would not leave him behind, that was not even an option for Michele.
They went over the plans for the house that they had picked out for them, and Urs would check it out and if it was all they wanted then he would purchase it, and then when she came over to meet him they would settle on the rest. Urs was also not thrilled at leaving her behind, they had only been married a short time, and here he had to go back to work so soon without her. It just didn’t feel right to either of them, but he wanted her healthy, he knew how much traveling they had coming up, and he didn’t want her sick again.
So Urs went ahead and made plans for his trip to Switzerland, and checked on what needed to be done for Timble, he was amazed that all Timble needed was a special Microchip placed at least 30 days before traveling to Switzerland. They would have his Vet check him over for anything and make sure all his shots were up to date also.
They were pleased to know that he would not be quarantined, before being allowed into Switzerland. That night they were finally alone in the house, after a simple dinner and clean-up they locked up the house, and then headed to their bedroom. They showered a very loving shower together, and then Urs picked her up and carried her to their bed. After settling in the bed they talked for a while about the next few days, how he wanted her to get well soon and hurry to join him. Somewhere in the talking hands explored and loving sounds made their way around the room, as Timble settled on the chair near the bed and drifted off as they made soft and slow passionate love.
The doctor had said that loving each other would not be too much for her BP, and Urs was going to take advantage of that, since he would have to do with cold showers till she came to join him. After all the events of the day, and the amazing loving, they both slowly drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms.
In the morning Urs woke to find her still in his arms and sleeping soundly, he glanced at the chair and saw that Timble was stretching out, and looking around for his food. Urs rose gently and headed to the bathroom to take care of his needs and then went to the kitchen with Timble following along, he took out the bowl and food for Timble and fixed his breakfast and sat it next to his bowl of water, then stood and started coffee. Timble meows his thanks and began on his food. Urs reached down and petted his head and let him eat his food.
This was what he would miss when he left in another day, he still had to get over to Switzerland and check out the house and get the ball rolling on that before the concert in Zurich. It still bothered him that Michele was not going with him a bit, but he wanted her well again and this had been a hell of a week.
While the coffee was brewing he went back to the bedroom to check on his wife. He really liked the sound of that, his wife it still amazed him they were married, and he couldn’t be happier. Michele was rolling over and hugging his pillow. She slowly opened her eyes to see him looking at her, and her heart jumped. He had the most gorgeous eyes she had ever seen. He was smiling at her and his dimples showed and she loved him more.
Urs climbed back into bed with her and pulled her into his arms, and gave her a good morning kiss. It was one of those kisses that curled her toes and everything else. She had to pull back and head for the bathroom to take care of an urgent need. Urs laughed as she grabbed her robe.
Once everything was taken care and hands washed she came back to her husband, who quickly removed the robe and tossed it on the floor. Urs began exploring and they came together in a slow dance of love.
The days went too quickly and soon they were saying good bye at the Asheville airport, and she assured him they would talk on the Skype and the phone, and she would have the PC hook up so they could IM each other. He lefted her with the kisses of love and she cried as well, as she watched tears softly fall from his eyes as he walked away from her.
She was with Angie since the doctor would not let her drive for now, so once the plane took off they headed out to lunch then back to the B & B, and the lonely place that was now her home again.
The plane trip was long and Urs tried to sleep on the way across the pond, and on towards his homeland. He was looking forward to seeing his Papa and Mutti well he had missed her too, but he hoped she would have a better attitude about Michele when he arrived. His father was meeting him at the airport and they would talk on the way to the house, where he planned to stay since Michele was not with him.
He had called and made the arrangements with his father who was disappointed, that he would have to wait till another time to meet his new daughter in law. He had been looking forward to meeting the lady that had finally captured his sohn’s heart. He understood about her BP problem, and agreed that they should do as the doctor had said and not risk her getting upset again.
Urs was thrilled when the door to the cabin had been open and he was on his way to the lounge, where his father would be waiting for him, he was tired but he couldn’t rest on the plane, and he needed to get some rest before tomorrow, when he went to meet the real estate lady about the house. He would have to take his bike since he didn’t rent a car this time. But he could use some time on the open road anyway so it was no hardship for him. He had made that trip to Geneva many times on his bike; this would be just another day looking around.
The trip from the Airport was over and they arrived at the house, and found Mutti waiting with her arms open wide to greet her sohn home after such a long time. For a second Urs wondered if this would have been the same greeting she would have had for Michele, if she had been with him?
Once they got into the house and Urs had gone up and dropped off his bags and washed up, he headed back down to talk to his parents. Mutti had his favorite foods waiting on him, and it felt good to be home. She seem just fine with only him around and that bothered him a great deal, because this was his honeymoon time and Michele should have been with him.
“So sohn when do you have the next concert?” Papa ask not for sure if Il Divo was on tour still.
“In a couple of days Papa, we are performing in Zurich and then on to Geneva and after that we have a month off before traveling in the European Cities. Michele will be here by the time we get to Geneva and we will be staying there to get things done with the new house we are buying.” Urs notice Mutti’s face got a bit off when he mentions Michele and he had hoped she had come to terms with him marriage by now.
“So your new wife will be joining you soon? Why again is she not with you now?” Mutti ask, even though Urs had explained in detail before he lefted the USA.
“I explained that Mutti, Michele was having trouble with her BP and her doctor wanted her to settle down and not have so much stress and she will be able to travel in a few days. She is getting things ready to bring Timble over while she is stuck there.”
“Who or what should I say is a Timble, sohn?”
“Timble is our cat and he is coming over with Michele.”
“Ah and just where does he stay when you’re at her place?”
“Mutti the home in the States is our home and not hers, and Timble sleeps on the chair in our room.”
“Well I am happy for you sohn, do you have pictures of your wife?” Papa was not pleased that Mutti was behaving so rudely to their sohn and he wanted to see what his new daughter in law looked like.
“Sure here you go Papa.” Urs pulled out their wedding pictures and showed them to his father and Jordan passed them to Mutti who sat and stared at Michele’s picture. Urs was not sure what to say but papa said it all.
“Wow sohn you got yourself a beautiful woman there. I hope you love her enough and you both will be very happy. When things are settled I want to come over and see the new house.”
“Thanks Papa and I know Michele and I would love you and Mutti to come and see the house and meet Michele.”
“I can’t come to Geneva, sorry Urs but it is really not something I would be interested in doing.” Mutti got up and walked out of the room leaving Jordan and Urs stunned speechless.
“Papa what is wrong with Mutti, she has never acted this way before? I don’t understand why she is so against my marriage to Michele? She is a wonderful and exciting woman Papa.” Urs couldn’t understand his mother but he also would not force her to be a part of his life if she didn’t want too.
“I am sorry sohn but I really don’t understand why she is acting this way, but I will talk to her and find out what I can.” Jordan was fuming inside at his wife who had upset their sohn and she had given no reason why.
“Nein Papa I need to know what is bothering her and I need to find out myself what is the problem but I think I already know. Excuse me please.” Urs rose and headed to the kitchen where his mother had gone. She was standing with her head hung down and she seem to be praying.
“Mutti please explain why you don’t even want to try and give Michele a chance? Because you know that I love her and I don’t want to have to choose between you or her!” Urs waited for her to turn and look at him but she didn’t make a move.
“I am sorry sohn but your Michele maybe the one for you in your eyes but I don’t agree. Her age is too much of a difference. You’re going to end up hurting her when you see some young blond with big boobs go walking bye and then she will be crushed when you divorce her. Then we have to pick sides. I don’t want that for her.”
“Mutti do you honestly believe that is the kind of man you raised and taught me to be? I am sorry you think so little of me as a man Mutti, but I love Michele and we are staying married and just so you know Mutti I DON’T CHEAT!” Urs turned and walked out of the kitchen and past his father, he had to get out of the house for a while.
Mutti was crying when Jordan entered the kitchen and looked at her with disappointed eyes and his face was set like he was mad. In all their years together they had barely had an argument between them mainly because they knew how to talk things out. This time she knew he was siding with their sohn.
