(A/N: Just a filler chapter while I'm stil thinking of something NOT stupid or corny or pointless to write.)
At recess at school the next Monday, Wanda and Annabella were playing chase with the younger version of their parens. Wanda was the chaser, she was chasing younger Willie. Suddenly she tripped and fell. Everyone kept running, assuming she was about to get up. When they looked behind them, they saw her holding her knee in pain. They ran over.
"Are you okay?" asked younger Willie, his developing protective father mode showing.
"I think I will be, but it sure hurts. I'm gonna stop now, and get it bandaged up," said Wanda. When she tried to stand, her hurt leg hurt so much that she fell back down. Younger Willie caught her amd helped her walk home to the mercantile, the other four children right behind them all the way.
When the six children got to the mercantile, Harriet was talking with Wanda's and Annabella's parents. They saw the children coming in. Willie and Rachel only saw younger Willie helping Wanda walk. He set her down in a chair beside her parents. Willie and Rachel knelt down to inspect their hurt daughter.
"Are you alright, Wanda?" asked Willie in a worried voice.
"Yes, Papa. I just need to clean it and get it bandaged up."
"Well, if you're sure, I'll do it," said Rachel. With that, the two females went into the bathroom and did what they could to heal the wound.
Wanda and Annabella had to walk to school, instead of run, for a week because of Wanda's leg. She limped all the way to school, at recess, and all the way back home.
Finally, she could take off her bandage. However, when Wanda saw her knee, she limp-ran all the way to Doc Baker's office.
It looked like she had a bad sprain in her leg based off what the doctor said. He put a cast on it, told her to keep it on for at the most a month, then go to see him so he could take it off.
Wanda was just about to explode with her father and the younger version of him. At the house, Willie hardly ever let Wanda walk unless she insisted on it.
At school, younger Willie would just about have a fit whenever Wanda tried to walk down the stairs of the schoolhouse. He waited for her at the door everyday, until her leg was better, just so that she wouldn't walk down the stairs. He would carry her down while younger Albert held her crutches.
"Really, you guys, I can walk down the stairs. I do it all the time at home," she would always say.
"Well, I don't want you to hurt yourself," younger Willie always replied.
Finally, Wanda was able to get her cast off, and everything went back to normal.
