Chapter 5 - The Gift
A Few Hours Later.
Sanctuary - Garage
Analyn, Sierra, and Brennan returned with a few surprised. Brennan raised his ring to his chin, "Jess, can you give me a hand?"
"Sure, I'll be right there!" came Jesse's voice.
Minutes later Jesse arrived in the garage. He noticed that the car's trunk was packed. "What'd you buy?"
"Wagon, bed, sheets, blanket, pillows, toys, and more stuff," Brennan told Jesse.
"Mind helping me lift the wagon out?" Brennan asked and Jesse helped him lift out the red shiny wagon. They set it down and Sierra took it. She placed a pillow that was as big as the inside and then a pillow seat so that whoever was in the wagon could sit up. Then, Analyn tossed a fuzzy light blue blanket and a small soft light brown hedgehog into the wagon. Brennan turned to the two girls as they began to leave, "behave."
"Always!" Sierra yelled as she and Analyn pulled the wagon and headed out of the garage.
"So, where are we going to set up the bed?" Jesse asked.
"I think in mine and Shal's room for now."
"Okay, then let's get it set up."
Sanctuary - Med Lab
Sierra and Analyn entered the Med Lab with the wagon and Emma, Shalimar, and Adam were surprised to see them and the wagon. "We're back," Analyn announced.
"I can see that.and where did you get all of this stuff?" Shalimar asked her daughters.
"With Daddy," Sierra responded, "where's Cody?"
"Sleeping."
"Mum, you won't send him away, right?"
"No. Cody's staying."
"Really?" Analyn asked.
"Yes!" Sierra exclaimed and hugged Analyn.
"So, what's the wagon and.stuff for?" Emma asked.
"It's for Cody."
"Yeah, because Cody can't do everything.like walking yet," Analyn said.
"That's a very good idea," Adam told them. "I'm very proud of both of you for thinking of this."
"We got other stuff, too!"
"Yeah Daddy and Uncle Jesse are taking care of it," Sierra told them.
"What'd you get?" Shalimar asked.
"We got Cody a bed, but it's a small bed with little rails.and we picked out sheets and a blanket for Cody! We got him some toys and.think that's it."
"And the wagon."
"Yes, and the wagon," Sierra said smiling.
"Will you stay with Cody?" Shalimar turned and asked Adam.
"Of course," Adam told her.
"I'll stay too!" Emma said.
"Thanks," Shalimar said, "come on ladies," Shalimar led them out of the Med Lab.
Sanctuary - Reflecting Pool
Shalimar sat down by the reflecting pool and the girls sat on either side of her. "I want you both to know that we didn't want to send Cody away because we don't love him.it's because we were scared."
"You were scared?" Analyn asked a bit surprised.
"Oh yes!"
"Of Cody?" Sierra asked confused.
"Not of Cody. You two have got to understand that.well your dad and my life has been going by so fast! I mean, Sierra, we thought you died when you were born.and then a year and a half later we have a five year old Sierra! And we got married. And then we got Analyn," Shalimar said pulling them both closer to her. "And now we have a little boy who's not only a New Mutant, but he also has special needs.and we were a bit scared.Cody won't be like you two!"
"Of course not!" Sierra exclaimed. "Cody's a boy!"
"And plus we're all different," Analyn added. "We didn't expect that he'd be just like either of us."
"You two are so smart!" Shalimar told them.
"And you're just now realizing that?" Sierra asked.
"How'd you get so sarcastic?"
"Genetics?"
"I don't think so.I think you've been hanging around your parents too much."
"No," Analyn said, "we sleep more and go to school more than we hang out with you and Dad."
"Yeah, well I know Miss Sierra wasn't saying anything like that after living with Adam's sister in London."
"Yeah," Sierra said, "so we've been hanging out too much.but now we have Cody to play with!"
"Yes, you do."
"Hey Mom," Analyn said, "where's Cody going to go to school?"
"There's a preschool at FDR," Sierra told Shalimar.
"We'll have to talk with Adam and the school."
"Tomorrow?"
"You don't have school tomorrow."
"Monday?" Analyn asked.
"First thing!" Shalimar promised.
A While Later.
Sanctuary - Brennan & Shalimar's Room
Cody had woken up and been put into his wagon. Analyn and Sierra pulled Cody to their rooms. Adam and Jesse had put up ramps on any stairs that they might use. Cody had enjoyed the wagon ride and had seemed very happy to be with his family especially when Brennan had hugged him. Now it was bedtime.the kids were in their star pajamas, Analyn was in pink, Sierra in purple, and Cody in blue. The girls were sitting with Cody telling him all about school when Brennan and Shalimar walked in. "Bedtime," Shalimar told them.
"We know!" Analyn and Sierra whined together.
"Off to bed then, ladies," Brennan said. "I'll tuck you in!"
"Night Cody," Sierra said hugging him and then kissing his cheek. "Love you!"
"Goodnight Cody," Analyn said doing what Sierra had just done. "Love you lots!"
"Night Mum," Sierra hugged her mother and then headed off to her room.
"Night Mom," Analyn said hugging Shalimar as well and then followed Sierra with Brennan right behind them. Analyn and Sierra got into their beds and laid down pulling up the covers.
"Night ladies," Brennan said after kissing each on their forehead. Brennan turned off the lights and then headed back to his room. When he returned he found that Cody had already fallen asleep and Shalimar was in bed. Brennan kissed Cody's forehead lightly and then whispered, "night Cody." Brennan got into his bed with Shalimar and pulled her close. Brennan turned off the lights and their ceiling lit up with a dim glow.
"Brennan?" Shalimar asked, "what's with the stars?"
"Stars?"
"The glow in the dark ones on the ceiling!"
"Oh! Those ones! We got them for Cody so if he woke up now he wouldn't be so scared."
"Uh huh." Shalimar said before drifting off to sleep.
