"Look what I found in the attic" sister julienne smiled as she entered the livingroom carrying a big box.
"What is it sister?" Sister Frances asked.
"Our wedding dresses" she smiled brightly.
"Oh my goodness" sister Hilda, sister Mary-Cynthia and I said in unison. We all jumped up and dove into the box looking for our dresses.
"I remember this dress so vividly" sister Frances smiled holding the gown against her.

"I'll bet you looked amazing in that dress" Barbra smiled.
"I wish I had become a nun now my wedding dress was just a off white suit" chummy frowned.
"You looked beautiful in it chummy" Trixie smiled kindly at her.
"What about my dress?" Sister Monica Joan asked.
"Here it is sister" sister julienne said handing her the dress.
"I remember the day I took my vows as if it were yesterday" she smiled with glee as she held her gown against her.

"Sister julienne?" I asked shyly.
"Yes sister?" She smiled at me.
"Why don't we have a winter dance to remember all the years of service we have all given and get to know some of the mothers and children better whilst wearing our gowns" I suggested.
"That sounds like a splendid idea" sister Mary-Cynthia said with glee.
"It's sounds heavenly" Sister Hilda added gleefully.
"Well it would allow the mothers to see us more relaxed and it might help with trust during labor" Sister julienne noted the positives of this idea.
"Sister you cannot be considering this!" Sister Evangelina angrily.
"I have already considered it and I'm very much sold on the idea" sister julienne smiled making us all smile.
"Yay" sister Frances smiled dancing with sister Hilda around the now empty box that had contained their dresses.
"Thank you so much sister julienne and of course you sister Huxley" sister Frances smiled and pulled me towards her embracing me into a big bear hug.
"Your very welcome sister" I smiled "I better start planning" I smiled.
