Chapter 7
''You have some visitors, Ms. Seville.'' the doctor replied. Autumn never noticed until now that his name-tag read ''Dr. Jones''.
Autumn smiled. ''Send them in, Doctor.'' Dr. Jones nodded and motioned with one hand for the people to come in.
Autumn grinned as she noticed who they were. Her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Following them were Brittany, Alvin, and her siblings.
All of the children ran to her and all but one yelled in chorus, ''Autumn!'' They crowded around her bed and began to talk all at once.
''You missed out on a lot while you were here.'' Wyatt said. He was the only child, yet adopted, of Jeanette and Simon. He had red / orange hair and brown eyes. He had on a brown tee with white stripes and jeans.
''You should have heard Brittany on the phone. She was so excited!'' Brandan beamed.
''Um.. I have a question.'' one voice said. It belonged to the youngest of all the kids. Emily. She was the only child of Theodore and Eleanor. She had sandy blond hair and brown eyes. She wore a light green skirt and pink tee followed by normal tennis-shoes.
Autumn nodded. ''Well, what is it?'' The room grew quiet waiting for Emily to speak.
Her forehead wrinkled. ''Why did they call you Autumn?'' So young, yet so curious. ''I thought you were Dustin?''
Autumn looked over at Aaron. She now remembered the past event. The jocks telling her secret. She fumed with anger.
''You!'' she glared at Aaron. ''You told them!'' she all but yelled.
Aaron raised his hands in defense. ''I-I..'' he was at loss of words.
Her eyes filled with tears. ''Why?'' she cried. ''Why did you tell them?''
Alvin stepped forward to the end of the bed. ''Now, Autumn, now isn't the time for this.''
She ignored her father and continued. ''You weren't supposed to tell that to anyone.'' she choked.
Jeanette motioned for the kids to step outside. Even Aaron. Theodore, Eleanor, Simon, and Jeanette took the children to the cafeteria to try to keep their mind away from what just happened.
Autumn lied on her back and stared upward and rested her hands on her stomach.
Alvin sat on one side of the bed and Brittany on the other. ''Kiddo,'' Alvin caressed her hand with his, ''it'll be okay. I'm sure he didn't mean to.''
Autumn shook her head. ''No.'' she whispered. ''He meant to. Th-They told me-''
''Don't listen to what they told you.'' Brittany interrupted.
Alvin stopped caressing her hand and went to playing with strands of her short hair. Brittany held her other hand between both of her own.
''Do you think that you need to move schools?'' the question caught her off guard.
Move to another school? She never thought of it. ''Can I just stay and see how it goes?'' she thought of Kevin. ''I don't want to leave Kevin.'' Autumn blushed.
Alvin chuckled. ''Fine. But if anything happens,'' he warned, ''you better tell me and I'll take care of it personally.'' This made Autumn and Brittany laugh.
Autumn sniffled then laughed. ''Deal.''
*0**0**0*
Autumn laughed as Alvin carried her bridal-style into the house.
''Daddy, put me down!'' she squealed and kicked her legs.
Alvin smirked. ''Fine.'' He let her go and she plopped down on the couch.
She yelped at the sudden impact. ''Hey!''
Alvin laughed again. ''You told me to.''
Autumn positioned herself more comfortably as Alvin sat down next to her. Brittany came in the door and sat on her other side.
''Um, Autumn, me and your dad had a talk the other night.'' Brittany began.
Autumn tilted her head slightly. ''Yeah. And?''
Brittany looked Autumn in the eye. ''I'm sorry.''
Brittany? Sorry? Autumn came confused. ''For what?'' she asked.
''For treating you the way I did. I'm sorry for that.'' Brittany somewhat managed a small smile. ''Autumn, if you'd rather be Dustin... then go for it. I'm just going to have to accept that my beautiful daughter would rather be a boy.'' Now Alvin smiled.
Tears of joy came to Autumn's eyes. ''I've been waiting a long time to hear you say that.'' Autumn wrapped her arms tightly around Brittany's waist as Brittany returned the hug around Autumn's shoulders.
Alvin smiled. He wrapped his arms around them both and murmured, ''Now that's what I've been waiting for.''
