Today was the day that Amanda was going to move in with Bosco, Faith, Emily, and Charlie. Faith and Bosco also had their monthly appointment with Dr. Westell today.
"How many more boxes are left in your Explorer?" Emily asked Amanda as she carried in what seemed to be the 100th box.
"There is only 1 left in my truck. I will get it, don't worry." Amanda said to Emily before walking out the door.
Emily looked out the window in the living room and saw a car pull up. She assumed that it was Amanda's mom, but it wasn't. It was some kids from her school. One of the boys took the box from Amanda and carried it into the house for her.
"Thanks Carlos." Amanda said to her boyfriend
"Who is he?" Charlie asked as he walked down the stairs
"Carlos Nunez, this is my step-brother Charlie. Charlie, this is my boyfriend Carlos." Amanda said introducing them
"Nice to meet you, Charlie." Carlos said before following Amanda to her room
The tension between Amanda and Faith was non-detectable at the moment.
"Whose car is that in the driveway, Emily?" Faith said as she walked into the house with Bosco
"It's Amanda's boyfriends' car." Emily replied from the kitchen
"Where are they?" Bosco asked
"I think that he is helping her unpack her stuff in her room." Emily said as Carlos and Amanda walked up from the basement, where Amanda's room was
"Amanda, can I talk to you for a minute?" Bosco asked Amanda causing her to realize that she would need to stay home for the rest of the night
"Carlos, I will meet you outside in a few minutes." Amanda said to her boyfriend
"What is the rule about having boys in your room?" Bosco asked Amanda
"They are not allowed unless you or Faith are home." Amanda said
"That's right. You are grounded for 1 week." Bosco said
"Okay." Amanda said before walking outside to say goodbye to Carlos
"Carlos, I can't go out tonight. My dad was not too happy that you were in my room." Amanda said to her boyfriend
"That's okay. I will pick you up for school on Monday." Carlos said to Amanda before he gave her a kiss and got into his car and left
"How was your appointment, Faith?" Amanda asked as she walked in the house
"It went well. We found out the sex of the baby. Do you want to know?" Faith said to Amanda
"Sure, why not." Amanda replied
"We are having a girl." Faith said as she sat down on the couch
"Have you guys decided on a name yet?" Amanda asked her dad and step-mom
"Yeah we did. Do you want to know what the name is?" Bosco replied
"Sure." Amanda said as she sat down on the couch in the living room
"Her name is going to be Angel Rose Boscorelli." Bosco said
"That is a beautiful name." Amanda said to her dad and step-mom
"Mom, what's for dinner?" Charlie asked as he walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch next to Amanda
"We are having chicken and rice." Faith said as she got up and walked into the kitchen
"Do you want to invite Carlos over for dinner tomorrow night?" Faith asked Amanda
"Yeah, I will call him later tonight when he gets home." Amanda said as she walked towards her room
"Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes and you have to set the table still." Bosco called after her
"I'll be back in 10 minutes, and then I will set the table." Amanda yelled from the basement
Amanda walked up from the basement 10 minutes later and set the table when the phone rang.
"Hello, Boscorelli residence." Amanda said as she answered the phone
"Is Amanda Boscorelli there?" A voice asked on the other end of the phone
"This is Amanda Boscorelli. Who may ask is calling?" Amanda asked
"This is Nurse Proctor, from Angel of Mercy Hospital. Your mother was in a car accident. Can you come down to the hospital as soon as you can?" The nurse told Amanda
"Yes, I will be down there in 30 minutes. Can you please tell me how bad she is?" Amanda replied
"She suffered massive injuries. The doctors took her to surgery about 15 minutes ago." The nurse said
"Okay." Amanda said before hanging up the phone
"Who was on the phone?" Bosco asked as Amanda put her varsity letter jacket on and headed to the door
"It was a Nurse Proctor from Angel of Mercy Hospital. My mom was in a car accident." Amanda said before walking out the door and getting into her car
"I think that I will go to the hospital also to see how she is doing." Bosco said as he walked into the living room
30 minutes later Amanda walked into Angel of Mercy Hospital.
"I am looking for my mother, Shelia Hodges. I was told that she was brought here after she got into a car accident." Amanda asked the nurse as she walked into the hospital
"She was taken to surgery. The surgical waiting room is located on the 6th floor. I can take you up there if you would me to. I am Nurse Proctor, by the way." The nurse said as she led the way to the elevator
"Do you know how long the surgery will last?" Amanda asked with a worried look showing on her face
"It shouldn't last more than a couple of hours." Nurse Proctor said
