"It's almost time to go back in."
"I don't want to."
"I Know you don't Lucy." there are things I don't want to do but I have too." Like put up with Barbra Jean twenty four seven a day." Said Reba groaning
"Twenty four seven a day?" Ms. Hart have you ever considered changing the locks to your house?" asked Lucy
"I tried that." No luck."
"Sorry about that." Hey get a attack dog that will keep her away." smiling at Reba
"Mom!" said Kyra as she saw that gleem in her eye.
Kyra looked at her watch to see that it was almost seven O clock.
"It's almost time to go back in."
"I don't want to."
"I Know you don't Lucy." There are things I don't want to do but I have too." Like put with Barbra Jean twenty four seven a day." said Reba groaning
"Twenty four seven a day?" Ms Hart have you ever considered changing the locks to your house." asked Lucy
"I tried that." No Luck."
"Sorry about that." Hey get a attack dog that will keep her away." Smiling at Reba
"Mom!" said Kyra as she saw that gleam in her eye.
"What?" I'm not going to get a attack dog." Don't worry." Grinning
"To late for that mom."
"Haha!" laughed Lucy and Ms. Hodge.
They finally made it back up to her room an got settled down.
why do you put up with Barbra Jean?" Asked Ms. Hodge
"I don't know I ask myself that everyday."
Ms. Hodge could tell that Reba and Kyra were tired.
"Hey why don't you two go home an get some rest I'll stay with Lucy tonight."
"Were fine, but thanks." Said Reba
Kyra saw her moms phone go off seeing it was Barbra Jean.
"Haha! Hello? so you find the money in the VCR? Asked Reba
"What money?" saying nervously as she looks through her VCR.
Reba rolls her eyes. "What do you want?"
"Oh I was just going to ask if I could borrow your Kitchen."
"Why?"
"Well I promised Henry's preschool class a dozen cupcakes an I tried to fix them in my kitchen, but I set it on fire." Saying nervously
"What? and you want to burn down my kitchen after that!" Oh no you don't, forget it."
"Please! this is for the kids. "
"Fine. but if I come home and my kitchen is burned down I will burn you." Saying with a sacrastic voice.
"Cross my heart your kitchen will be in tip top shape when you get back." Thanks Red." Hanging up the phone
"Mom you ok?" asked Kyra
"Yeah I guess." I just don't want Betty Crocker to burn my kitchen down, but if it happens Brock can pay for the damages." Smiling
"Haha! Ms. Hodge laughed
Lucy was waking up from her nap.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing. You ok?" asked Reba
"Yeah I'm fine." Just a little thirsty."
Reba pours Lucy a glass of apple juice. "Here you go."
"Thanks. Much better."
Reba heard her phone ring. "Oh crap it's Barbra Jean she burned down my house." "Hello? What did you do?"
"Nothing why would you say that?" with a nervous voice.
"Cause your whinning."
"I blew up your stove."
"What? I thought it blew you up." saying with a sarcasic smile.
"Reba!"
"Well I guess Brock can buy me a new stove and you a new kitchen.
"Why does Brock have to buy you a new stove that I burned?"
"Because he owes me for putting up with you and pain an suffering. "
"Your so funny." Fine I'll write you a check for the damages. "
"Good enough. Hanging up the phone."
"Man Reba your one tough cookie." Said Ms. Hodge
"Yeah I get that from my mom." Smiling
"I could tell Ms. Hart. " Said lucy
"Really?" How?"
"Just by the way you don't take nothing off nobody."
"Thanks. That means a lot." Smiling
"You welcome."
Lucy could see that the time was moving fast but not as fast as she would like for it though her surgery date was getting close at least she thought so.
"Mom how much longer will Lucy have to wait till her transplant?" asked Kyra
"Not long at all I think." We'll just have to wait to hear what the doctor says."
"Really?" some times I think doctors don't know the answers to everything or even know when my surgery really is." I give up!" Cried Lucy
"Lucy I will have none of that." You are not giving up. I Know you, even though we have known each other for a week I feel like your another sister to me." said Kyra
"Thanks Kyra." Giving her a hug. "Ok I won't give up no matter how long I have to wait."
"Good for you Lucy thats the spirt." Said Reba
A hour passed by and Ms. Hodge was asleep and so was Reba.
Kyra thought about Lucy's surgery and Knew once she got her transplant she would be back to being the teenage girl she is.
"Penny for your thoughts Kyra." said Lucy
"I was just thinking about how you will feel better after this surgery."
"Yeah I know I will and don't worry I will get through it." After talking to you guys I feel better about it." Smiling at Kyra
"I"m glad we could help." You need anything while I'm still awake?"
"yeah. will you pray with me?"
"Sure walking over to her bed as she kneeled down beside Lucy's bed side.
"Dear God Thank you for all you have done for me in my life. Giving me great friends and helping me through this surgery of mine thats coming up. In Jesus name. Amen. " Both said in unsion.
"Goodnight Kyra."
"Goodnight."
KYra saw a smile come over Reba's face knowing she heard their prayer. Morning came as the sun shinning through the curtains.
"Mom turn off the lights I don't want to go to school Ms. Hodge is mean." Kyra groaned still a sleep.
"Kyra wake up." Said Reba as she nudged her in the arm.
"Thanks Kyra." So now you think I'm mean?" asked Ms. Hodge
"No. Why would you think that?"
"Cause you just said you did't want to go to school and that I was mean."
"I did? I'm sorry I must have entered one of cheyenne's dreams."
"It's ok I know you don't think I'm mean." Smiling
"Good. Cause you are not mean." Your a very sweet lady."
"Thanks Kyra."
"Morning. " Lucy said waking up. " I had the most weirdest dream ever."
"What was it about?" asked Reba
"Well, it was about some mean girl at school getting into a food fight with Ms. Hodge."
"Must be Jenny that other mean girl who still hates my guts."
"Oh the one who hit you with a pie when we had our school picnic."
"Yeah. " I smelled for a week cause the pie was ruined." That little brat." laughing
"Yeah they called you sour cow for two weeks." Kyra laughed
"That's not funny Kyra" Lucy snapped
"This happend last year before you ever came to my school." Oh trust me I made Jenny pay."
"What did you do?" asked Lucy
"I told her if she did't stop calling her that name I was going to tell the whole school about how she had a crush on the math teacher."
"Nice going!" Lucy laughed
Lucy Knew the next day was the day of her surgery and she was happy but still a little worried about it. She finally calmed down and got ready for supper.
"Mom why don't you and Ms. Hodge go on home an get some rest." I'll stay with Lucy tonight and see you both in the morning."
"Oh no you won't Kyra." I want all three of you to go home and get some sleep." I'll be fine." said lucy
"But Lucy... getting cut off.
"But nothing Kyra you three are going home and getting a good nights rest." End of story." smiling as she folded her arms.
"You sure?"
"Yes. Now go get some sleep." Goodnight see you in the morning." Waving bye to them as they walked out the door.
Lucy sighs a sign of relief as she finishes her dinner an gets a good nights rest.
Morning seemed to not come fast enough like Lucy would have liked, but after tossing an turning all night she finally got some sleep.
It was about nine O clock in the morning when Ms. Hodge, Reba, and Kyra walked into her room.
"Looks like shes still asleep." said Reba
"Yeah." Hey you two stay here in case she wakes up." I'm going to get us something to drink." Said Ms. Hodge as she left the room.
Kyra walks up to Lucy's bedside seeing that she was waking up.
"Hey."
"Hey." Is it morning alredy?"
"Yep."
"Good. Let's get this surgery over with and get me back to my house."
"I wish it worked that way but it doesn't , but you stop worrying it shouldn't be long till the doctor tells you what will be going on." Said Reba
"Well good morning." Said Ms. Hodge coming back with their drinks.
"Morning." Smiling
"Today is the day you have been waiting for." Smiling back
"Yeah I feel like I have been waiting a century."
Dr. Jones walks in." Good morning." How are you feeling?"
"Tired, but so ready to get this over with and to get out of here." Groaning
"I understand." It shouldn't be to long Lucy." Hang in there while I see if your donor is here yet." Leaving the room
"What?" Please don't tell me she backed out." Cried Lucy
"She did't back out Lucy." said Kyra
"How would you know?"
"Cause I just peeked out the door an saw her walking down the hallway with her parents." Smiling
Sighing with relief. " Thanks for checking."
"Welcome."
Lucy was so tired of watching the time go by so fast that she was ready to scream.
Hour passed as Dr. Jones walked in the room to get lucy for surgery.
"You ready?" smiling
"Yes I'm ready let's get this transplant going." smiling as the nurses rolled her out of the room.
"We'll b right here when you get out." Said Reba
"Thanks." As she rolled down the hallway.
