Ch. 6
George and Chibodee waved at each other from across the airport. The two quickly met and shook hands. "So Frenchie ya got any idea why Japanese wanted us here?" Chibodee asked George. George just shook his head. He wasn't even going to tell Chibodee not to call him that. It never did any good. Chibodee never listened.
Sia Sici and Argo walked over to the two of them. "Hey bro, hey uhh other bro how ya doin?" Sia asked. "Hey Sia" Chibodee said. "Hey has anyone seen the girls?" George. Suddenly they heard squealing off to their left. (O.K. I know that I'm making the girls kind of O.O.C. but heck sue me) "I think we found them", Sia said.
Chibodee's girls, Marie Louise, Natasha (though she wasn't one of the ones squealing), and Cecil were all standing off to the boys' left talking. Then they all saw Domon approaching the two groups. His expression wasn't his usual smirk. Instead he looked grim and almost joyless. Sia tilted his head to one side.
"Hey bro!" he called over to Domon. "Why did ya call us here for?"
"Rain and I will tell you all when we get to the house", Domon told them all as the girls came over. "Rain's outside waiting with the kids and both cars." The group quickly collected everyone's baggage (with a complaint from Chibodee that the girls probably packed everything in their apartment except the kitchen sink) and headed out to the cars.
Eva looked a little paler than usual but not enough to make anyone worry. They got to the house and everyone was quickly given a room. After everyone unpacked they all went into the living room where Domon, Rain, Eva, and Kyogi were waiting. Eva stood up as everyone sat down.
"I have something to tell everyone", she said quietly. "I have cancer and I am going to die."
Everyone looked up at Eva shocked. "You're kidding right?" Chibodee asked.
"Chibodee no one wishes she were more than I do", Domon said. "It really is true. Eva is going to die."
"How long does she have?" Shirley asked.
"The doctors say she has two years at most", Rain told her.
"Mama the doctors said in all probability I only have about seven or eight months", Eva quietly corrected quietly. "So would anyone like anything to eat or drink?"
"Well actually" Chibodee began before Shirley pinched him. "Well I'm hungry", Chibodee cried. As if on cue Chibodee's stomach grumbled so that every one could hear.
"That was so gross bro", Sia said shaking his head. "That was just to gross."
"Well it is about dinner time", Rain said looking down at her watch. "I'll go get something ready."
"No I'll do it sis", Sia told her. "I don't mind. I'd actually like to."
Rain smiled thankfully and sat back down on the couch next to Domon. Eva had taken her favorite seat on Domon's lap. Kyogi as always stood protectively by his younger sister's side. Eva smiled at her brother. She wished that her family could have many moments like this.
