Felix's train leaves tomorrow. I had dinner with Felix tonight but it wasn't much of a dinner because we hardly said a word to each other. But Felix said that when he comes back that we'll get married, maybe not right away but we're going to get married. I just hope that I don't get depressed over this. One minute we're getting married and the next we're not!
Well, at least Velma and Adeline are happy. I passed them on the way to the general store and I saw them smirking. I hope they think that they haven't won because I won't give Felix up without a fight. I heard from Dora that Adeline has just been excepted at finishing school which happens to be in England. Felix and I promised each other that we'd write.
I just hope that he won't forget about me, not that I'm doubting his character but I'm doubting Adeline's.

Felix has left for at least a month. I miss him already, he's been gone for...twelve hours but I still miss him. It feels like a part of my heart has been ripped in half and had a knife stabbed into it. I feel like I've lost my best friend but not totally. I don't know how to explain the feeling but it's not a good one.
Velma is very proud of herself, today She was telling Sally Potts that I called off the wedding because I knew that I didn't have a chance against Adeline. I was going to tell her a piece of my mind, but since I knew that it wasn't true then I decided that she wasn't worth giving her a piece of my mind.
Besides, I had to get to Felicity's house to help prepare dinner, as Gus was working late at the hotel. Since Dr. Snow told Felicity to stay off her feet until the twins were born, Gus asked me to stay with Felicity since he couldn't be there, and that the babies were due in two weeks and Dr. Snow said that there was a good chance of early labor. When I had gotten to Felicity's House, right when I walked in the door Felicity said, "Izzy!! Izzy, I'm in labor!"
I asked Felicity if she had called Dr Snow or Gus. She replied, "I tried to but Sally wouldn't cooperate, Sally said that she was busy."
So I called Sally and told her first to call the hotel and tell Gus that Felicity was in labor, then to call Dr. Snow and tell him the same thing. After I had gotten off of the telephone with Sally, she called back and said, "Gus is on his way but Dr. Snow was out but I told his secretary to go to your house when he got back in."
I replied, "Thank you, Sally." Then we said good-bye and put the receiver down. Then I panicked. I didn't know how to deliver one baby let alone two!
30 minutes later, Gus had finally arrived, and boy was he nervous. I told him that everything was going to be fine, and for him to wait in the living room. Then I heard Felicity SCREAM! It was the loudest one so far. I ran into the bedroom and when I got there, Felicity said, really fast, "A baby is coming; they're coming! Izzy, don't just stand there; do something!" At that moment I knew that I had to deliver those babies.
An hour later, I had delivered the first baby as Dr. Snow arrived. I'm glad that he arrived when he did because everyone was frantic, nervous, and all of the other words that describe worried. After Dr. Snow had delivered the second baby, he checked on Felicity. Then he said to Gus, "You have a hand full there. You might need to take a week or two off from work and help Felicity."
Gus replied, "I jest think I might do that."
After Dr. Snow had left I asked Gus and Felicity, "Have you picked out names for the twins?"
Gus replied, "We had several names, If it was going to be two girls then we would name them after our mothers. If it was two boys then we would name them after our pa's, but we hadn't thought much about one of each; so we decided that the girls name is Victoria Eliza Pike, and the boys is Daniel Andrew Pike."
I replied, "Those are wonderful names! Now, if you don't mind I'll be heading home." So I said my good-byes to Felicity, Gus, and the twins and headed home. When I got home I decided that in the morning I would write to Felix and tell him about Victoria and Danny. "But now," I said to myself, "I want to go to bed and get a good night sleep." And as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell into a nice peaceful slumber.
