Cate's Future 2

Cate was sleeping peacefully. As she slept,she kept on thinking,"What am I going to do,I can't be this way forever." She was dreaming a weird dream. In the dream she was a familiar character. Peg was sitting with a guy named Al and they were fighting over the television set...then Kelly, Bud,and Amber come downstairs. The family seemed to be uncaring and rude.

Cate woke up in fear. She was going to change. No way was she going to live like her dream. She walked downstairs to find that her family was sitting down watching a documentary. Cate grabbed the remote and shut it off. "Family meeting,now." Cate said with excitement. The kids groaned,and CJ said,"Another one?" Cate looked at him and said,"Yes,another one." Cate sat everyone down. "I am making some changes,to the best of my interests. Yes I plan to start dating again,but will probably not marry yet." Rory stood up and said,"Mom,that sounds just fine with us. We noticed you were depressed,so we got you a present." Cate smiled. Rory handed it to her and said,"Open it." Cate opened it to find the final picture of the family when Paul was still alive. Tears streamed her face."Thank you. That was sweet of you guys." She hugged each child close. Then she turned and went,"Where is CJ?" Minutes later,CJ came in with an angry look. "THEY sold the console to some woman in Michigan!" Cate looked at him sheepishly. "Uhh,CJ? I bought that console. It wasn't an antique. It was the new game that came out last week." CJ's face looked shocked. Cate smiled.She said,"I just bought it to cheer me up after I found the letters Paul had written to me. Rory looked at her in disbelief."Is that why you were depressed?" Cate smiled a bit,and said,"Yes,sweetie,it was." Cate motioned for her children to come and give her a hug." I love you guys sooo much. That is what I will always say." The girls hugged Cate close.It was a wet moment in the Hennessey household.
