SAVING MR. BANKS – Part 4
Michael woke up with a loud gasp, wishing his wife´s face to showing up in front of him, still, after a few seconds of blinking, he realized he was in a hospital bed, his head pounding and his leg was on a cast.
''Kate…'' he groaned and a second later, Jane´s face appear in front of him, wet, but with tears of joy and relief.
''Michael!'' His sister exclaimed ''thanks goodness you woke up!'' she said kissing his forehead.
''J-Jane, what happened?'' he asked still confused.
''you have been unconscious for three days. Inspector Drew told me what had happened, he said that you tried to stop a break-in at the ice cream shop, but ended up falling into the manhole, hit your head a bit hard and broke your leg.'' Jane said ''Michael, what you had tried to do?'' she said in an angry tune.
''i´m sorry Jane'' he whispered ''I didn´t mean to worry you, or the children''
''just don't do this ever again!'' she said and Michael nodded
''I have a vary strange dream you know?'' he started again ''I dream that a wolf had kidnapped me and the children wanted to sav-'' he stopped middle sentence ''where´s my children? I want to see them'' he asked a bit scared, but Jane hold his hand firmly
''Michael, calm down, don´t worry'' his sister said ''the children are fine. They are in the waiting room, I asked Mary Poppins to bring they here'' she said
''can you bring them here?'' the father asked ''I miss them''
''of course'' the sister smiled ''I will be right back, but try to calm down, alright?'' she asked and he nodded.

Back at the waiting room, Mary Poppins was trying to read, while the three Banks children, babbled over the mutual nightmare thy had that night, about their father been stuck in an elephant cage, inside a Royal Doulton Bowl.
''could you three be quiet?'' the nanny said annoyed ''it´s a hospital, not an amusement park!'' she said, but the children didn't obey, instead, upon seen their aunt leaving a room, they ran to her, asking for their father.
''how´s father, Aunt Jane?'' John asked
''is he doing alright?'' Annabelle asked
''can we see him?'' Georgie asked
''calm down you three'' Jane smiled ''your father is doing alright, he´s awake and I will take you to see him, but you must be quiet, as Mary Poppins said, this is a hospital, not an amusement park, so, you need to stay put''
''alright Aunt Jane!'' the three of them said as they walk inside Michael´s room.
No need to say that the children almost jump on their father´s lap once seeing him. And Michael in turn, couldn´t help but cry with the sight of his children.
They´re safe. Everything was alright now.

Epilogue.
Two months later…
The number 17 at Cherry Tree Lane was busy that morning as a nearly recovered Michael Banks finishing getting ready to a surprise meeting in his sister´s flat, as she asked the whole family to join her and Jack for a lunch. He smiled to a photograph on his bedside, wishing Kate to be there with him.
Suddenly, three exited children burst into his bedroom, everyone asking him at once, if he was already ready to leave, as they won't want to be late to visit their aunt.
''I'm almost ready. Annabelle, could you help me with my tie, please?'' he asked sitting down, so the girl could tie the tie
''of course'' the girl smiled
''John, fetch my cane, please?''
''why you still need to use the cane, father?'' asked curious Georgie, since Michael was off the leg-cast a month ago.
''my leg is still a bit sore, so it can help me'' he said.
''oh… you want us to help you down the stairs?'' the boy asked and the father frowned. it was he who supposed to take care of his children, not the other way around.
''no, I can manage. Now go grab your coats, it's a bit winding outside'' he said, and the children obey.
As they reach downstairs, they spotted Mary Poppins walking in their direction with a slight smile.
''I hope you know what my sister is planning, I saw you talking to her a few days ago'' Michael said
''I don´t have any idea what you are talking about, Mr. Banks'' she said ''I don´t spy on people´s lives''
''quite alright'' he said as the children join him
''are you be join us?'' Annabelle asked
''enough questions, you must be going, no need to keep poor Jane waiting'' she changed the subject and after a quick good bye, Michael and his children, along with Ellen, walk toward the family car.
''do you think it´s time for us to go?'' the Parrot Umbrella asked suddenly, pulling the woman out of her thoughts.
''yes, it´s the wind calling'' she answered, watching the car turn the corner
''look at them… they didn´t even said good bye!'' exclaimed the parrot ''humans are really ungrateful'' he said, but his owner closed his beak
''we don´t need melodramas, don´t we?'' Mary Poppins asked, grabbing her carpet beg and flaying away with her umbrella, happy that her job was finally done, with no looking back.

At the street, Inspector Drew knew what kind of wind that was, so he just look up, in time to see a small silhouette disappearing within the clouds.
''congratulations, Mary Poppins, you did a great job as always.'' He smiled, going back to his work.
