Chapter 27
Meeting the baby sister
Savannah's POV.
We arrived back in Florida and went and grabbed our luggage. It was a nice smooth flight. We boarded the bus and made our way back to the school. The fact that we had defended our title, was still sinking in a few of the people. We arrived at the school and put our things in the locker room. Ali and I then headed for home and to meet Alexandra Marie Kinkirk. Ali parked her car out front and we walked to the front door and went in. "We're home," I said. "Mom, dad?"
"Upstairs," said my mom. Ali and I headed upstairs and found my whole family in Alexandra's room. In my mom's arms was my baby sister.
"Hey," I said to my family. I walked over to my mom. "Can I hold her?"
"Sure," she replied. I had so much practice holding my younger siblings. It seemed like forever since I got to do this with one of my own siblings. Alexandra was so cute. She woke up and just starred at me.
"Hi, Alexandra," I said. My baby sister reached her little hand up and touched my face.
"She likes you," said mom. I laughed. Alexandra fell asleep and I kissed her on the forehead. Ali then took her into her own arms. This was probably a first for Ali, having been a foster child her entire life, basically. I went to my room and put my suitcase up. I found Sam on my bed.
"Miss me?" I asked my dog. Sam barked and I just laid on my bed. Sam put laid down beside me. I just laid there, starring at the ceiling, occasionally petting Sam.
A week later...
Ali's POV.
I woke up early. It was the first day of school after Christmas break. I made my way downstairs, after taking a shower, and got some breakfast. After that, I let Savannah drive my car to school. I then headed to my locker and put a few things away, before heading for my first class, Chemistry. The school day went by well. Afterwards, I headed to the gym for my first real practice. Previously, I had been able to do some minor things during practice, but not really that much. Afterwards, Savannah and I went home and spent time with the family. At one point, I went outside to the trampoline and just laid there.
Jared's POV.
The next day...
I woke up pretty tired. I took a shower and got dressed. My mom dropped me off at school and I went inside. I took a few things out of my locker and then headed for the cafeteria. I found a few of my friends and we conversed before heading to our first class. When it was time for recess, I headed outside. I went to the playground and found some kids playing tag, and I joined in on the game.
Everything was going fine. Then something happened. As I was being chased by the tagger I backed up and hit my head. I blacked out from there.
Lucy's POV.
After lunch, I went back to my office to work. As I was working on my sermon, my phone rang. "United Church of Christ, Rev Lucy Kinkirk speaking. How may I help you?
"Mrs Kinkirk, this is Mr Thomas at your son Jared's school. There has been an accident involving your son and he has been taken to the hospital."
"What happened?"
"We're not a hundred percent sure."
"Thank you." I hung up the phone and called Kevin.
"Yes, Luce?"
"Jared is in the hospital."
"What for?"
"No clue. I'm getting ready to leave work. Can you call the high school and middle school to leave notes?"
"Yeah," he replied. "See you at the hospital." I hung up the phone, told the secretary where I was headed and drove to the hospital. I went to the front desk.
"How may I help you?"
"I'm Lucy Kinkirk, Jared Kinkirk's mom."
"Let me show you the way." I followed her to a room. Jared was unconsious on the bed. The same doctor who delivered Alexandra was checking him.
"Ah, Lucy," he said.
"How bad is he?"
"Concussion, bleeding, a few broken bones and something else."
"What is it?"
"I would like to wait until Kevin gets here."
"Very well." We waited, and about twenty minutes later, Kevin arrived.
"Okay," I said. "What else is wrong?"
"There is no easy way to say this," doctor Roberts said.
"Just say it," said Kevin.
"Jared," he started to say.
"We can take it," I replied. "Just come out with it."
"As with normal procedure," he said, "in instances like this, we due a blood check and various other things."
"Stop stalling, doctor Roberts," I said. "What is wrong with my son?"
"Jared has a brain tumor."
A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. DUH, DUH, DUH. To tell you the truth, this was not the planned ending to this chapter. I had decided that wasn't enough drama in the story, and felt that this was the right way to do it.
