Update: I know I haven't been uploading in a while, I originally wanted to wait until the movie came out so that this story would not be influenced, but the good news is I'm going to the Movie tomorrow! Yay! Also find me on YouTube "Liam Holton" and like my Facebook page "Liam Holton Drummer". I do drum covers on YouTube.

A Week Later

A week later Abigail was brought home from the Hospital. Sawyer, Hazel and Shawl would move mountains for that little girl. She had bright blue eyes like her mother and streaks of blonde hair. Today was the day that the workers at the aquarium were to see her for the very first time.

At lunch break that day, Hazel arrived at the aquarium with the carrier holding Abigail. Shawl and Sawyer were working in the aquarium. "Hey Everyone!" Hazel chirped as she arrived in the break room. "Oh Hey!" "Hello!" and all other things the workers said as they got up and hugged Hazel and wanted to get a view of the little baby. "Aw look at her!" One of the females said as Hazel set the carrier on top of the table. Sawyer and Shawl entered the room. 'Oh hey Hazel!" Sawyer said as he noticed his wife standing there. "Hi Sawyer! Hi Shawl sweetie!" she acknowledge her husband and son together. "Looks like everyone in the aquarium likes little Abbie already!" smiled Shawl as he saw the crowd hovering all over the table blocking his view of the carrier.

Shawl ran towards Winter's pool and yelled "Winter!" as he jumped straight in. Shawl loved swimming with Winter as much as his parents did when they were his age. "So Mom and Dad brought the baby in today!" Shawl said as he held onto the dolphin. Winter made her famous tweedy bird noise in response. Shawl later got out and dried up and went back home.

Arriving home, he didn't expect to see a bunch of old baby toys and new clothes crowding the areas as he entered. He slightly dodged a heavy box and nearly broke his neck over a large box as he tried to get to the kitchen and rush upstairs. He noticed at the far end of the hall, the old room was gonna be Abigail's new bedroom. He took a peek inside, the wall was half painted in pink. A Cot that was already made lay in the middle of the room. A bassinet also lay next to the cot and a cot mobile box was there. This was all too much for Shawl to take in. "Wow Mom literally went overboard!" He said trying to half smile and half look jealous, maybe he was getting just a little jealous of the fact that he had a sister to get used to.

When he was done touring the new baby's room, he went to his own room to relax. He also had another thing on his mind. The cute girl from the hospital that he met when Abigail was born. He hadn't completely forgotten about that. He then heard a text message alert on his cell phone. He picked it up expecting it to be from one of his parents. It wasn't, in fact it was actually from the girl he met! Looking wide eyed, Shawl opened it up and read it in his mind to himself: "Hey man! I told my mom about you and she said that her boyfriend Kyle is a cousin of your dad's! Kyle spoke to your dad and he said you can come down if you like! I'm sure you're ok with that!" It read. Shawl looked surprised. "Why didn't dad tell me?" He said to himself actually smiling for the first time that day!

So he rang his parents about and they said he could go over cause they were gonna be working late that evening and Abigail would have Sawyer's mom Lorraine look after her at her home. At 6pm that night, he got ready to go out and then grabbed his bike in the garage and cycle to the house that Kyle, Sandra and Sarah lived in.

Looking nervous, he knocked on the door and Kyle and his wife Sarah answered it eagerly expecting him. "Shawl Nelson! You get cooler each day!" Kyle greeted his young cousin. "Hi Kyle!" Shawl said smiling at him and shaking his hand. Sandra hugged him tightly after that, in fact so tightly he couldn't breathe! "Now, here is someone who has been waiting for you!" Sandra said she turned her direction to the stairs: "Sarah! He's here!" A long girlish squeal followed clearly down the stairs after that. Shawl looked around shyly as he waited for Sarah to come down. He saw pictures on the wall, one of Kyle with Sawyer when he did the Olympics and got a few medals. Another of him and Sandra together and one of them with Sarah when she was young. He also saw one of Sawyer Hazel and himself when he was about 5 years old. He snapped out of his looking of pictures when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Sarah came down and eagerly saw Shawl. "Hello! I got your text and thought I'd-" Shawl began but was cut by Sarah hugging him tightly. He hugged her back nearly unable to breathe. "Well thanks for inviting me over." He said politely when she let go. "Mom Dad! This is the boy I told you about!" Sarah said when they went into the kitchen. "My daughter has been talking about you all week!" Sandra smiled. "Yeah she got anxious about you because most of the boys in her school give her a hard time." Kyle said.

Back at the Hospital

"She'll need to be fed in an hour." Hazel informed Lorraine as she got everything ready for Abigail. "If she needs changing, she may cry." "Thanks Hazel." Lorraine smiled as she walked out with Abigail to the car. Hazel went back to her office and put her leather jacket on a hook. She then sat by her computer and checked any emails. While this was happening, Sawyer was busy at work helping the dolphin that they had found a week ago on the day that Abigail was born. They put the small dolphin in a small pool just a few places away from where Winter was. "Okay you guys work with that I'm gonna go check on Winter." He instructed as he walked off. He walked over to the pool where Winter was splashing about with her tail. "Hey Winter!" he smiled. "Feeling alright?" Winter made her tweedy bird noise to say "yes!"

Meanwhile Shawl was starting to slowly enjoy himself at Kyle's house with the family. He was getting to know Sarah a lot better than he originally did. "So Abigail was brought home only on Monday?" Kyle asked. "Yep!" Shawl chirped. "I have a picture on my cell phone of me with her." He said fishing out his phone and showing them the picture. "Aww!" Sarah said looking at it. "That's lovely." Sandra smiled. "She's really cute!" Kyle added. "Thanks! We bought her to the hospital today so all the other workers could see her for the first time!" Shawl explained. "Will you bring her over here sometime maybe?" Sandra asked. Shawl, and the others of course, saw from a corner of their eyes that Sarah grinned at that question. "Sure! Sure I will!" Shawl said.
