They arrived home moments later. Lucy was now wide awake and buzzing with excitement. She was looking around with a shocked facial expression. The house was a lot bigger than the house that she had lived in before. It was like a palace. She followed the brothers into the house. 'Just make yourself at home' Cal told her. They went to the kitchen and got something to drink. 'What would you like, we have water, juice, milk, tea, hot chocolate, or chocolate milk?' Ethan asked her.
'Please can I have some water?' She asked in a whisper.
'Of course you can' Ethan said as he handed her a glass of water. She reached out to take the glass but spilt some of it when she took it.
'I-I-I'm really sorry. I-it was an accident. I-I-I didn't mean to do it' she stuttered. She cowered in the corner.
'Oh sweetie, it's alright. It's just water. It can easily be cleaned up. Don't worry about it.' Cal and Ethan both soothed.
Cal reached his hand out for her to take. Gingerly she took it and he led her towards the table. He hoisted her up onto it. 'Come here. Don't worry about anything. Ethan and I aren't ever going to hurt you, I promise. If anyone ever tries to hurt you again they will have me to deal with okay?' Cal exclaimed.
'Okay, I'm sorry' She whispered bowing her head ashamedly.
'Hey, look at me. There is nothing you need to apologise for, you did nothing wrong. Now what are we going to do today?' Cal explained before turning to his brother.
'Right well we will need to get some new clothes, shoes, toys and books for Lucy because she doesn't have anything' Ethan stated. 'We could also get some food shopping in'
'Okay then, let's go choose a room for Lucy. We can also get some paint or wallpaper, and other things to put in her room to make it more special' Cal suggested. Ethan grabbed some things and put them in his pocket before loading up the car. They drove to the nearest shopping centre to fetch some clothes.
They bought her lots of new clothes, toys, books and other things that she might need. They let Lucy choose exactly what she wanted and paid for the lot. At first Lucy was uneasy and was trying to only get a few things because she didn't want them to spend all of their money. But Ethan insisted on her getting as much as she wanted because she would need it.
They then travelled to the nearby hardware shop to get some things to decorate Lucy's room. Lucy had decided to get her room painted a turquoise colour with a silver coloured lamp shade for the lamp. They went to the furniture shop and ordered some new furniture for the room before returning home.
Ethan helped carry all of the shopping upstairs. He put all of the bags into his room whilst they painted and decorated Lucy's room. Cal would have to clean out all of his junk first but it was a nice little room with lots of space to play. Lucy chose that room because it was in between both Ethan's room and Cal's room so it made her feel safe. Cal had almost predicted that she would want this room so he had already cleared put most of the junk.
Cal took all of the paint and decorating things to the room. He spread a thin tarpaulin across the floor before pouring paint into a tray. He painted the walls as quickly as he could. Once they were painted he helped Lucy decorate it with pictures and drawings.
