The following day

The next morning Lu woke up before Michaela did she wanted to make sure that Meg and Joe got off to go and do things for the day and she wanted to make sure they weren't going to hang around the house all day. She knew they had plans but didn't know the extent of their day. When she got out to the living room she saw that they were both up having breakfast.

"Good morning, Lu said, how did you sleep last night I hope you slept well"?

"Well enough considering"

"Oh was it to cold for you or something I know sometimes I keep it cool at night we sleep better that way"

"Oh no the temperature was fine I was just referring to the bed we are just use to a harder mattress that's all."

"Oh ok" Lu left it at that she really didn't want to get in with it now and the sooner they left the sooner she could get Mike off to school"

"So what do you do with Michaela when you are at work?"

"Well after school she comes to the clinic Marc comes there too sometimes she does her homework there and she helps around there putting files away sometimes or just hanging out with the staff. So what do you two plan to do while you're here is there anyone in town you know or are you just here to site see?"

"Well Joe has his mother here she is in a retirement home so we thought we would go visit her for the day and he has some work here he has to do that's why were really here his boss sent him here to go over a few things with someone who specializes in his area"

"Oh well it sounds like you'll be busy this week then we will try to stay out of your way"

"Well Joe is going to be the real busy one I'll probably be here most of the time and speaking of that since I'm here Michaela shouldn't have to go to your office and wait all day she could come here I'll most likely be home"

"Oh well that's very kind of you but I don't want to take the chance that your not here and this is your vacation I wouldn't want to trouble you with her knowing and all what you said when you wrote me she was a handful for you and I don't want her to cause you any trouble."

"Oh it's no trouble really I could….. Lu interrupted there

"See the thing is I don't feel comfortable with leaving her here with you I like to keep a close eye on her the truth is and I really didn't want to bring this up but now I see I'm going to Michaela doesn't feel comfortable around you, truth is it took Marc and I awhile to get her out of her shell she was a very quiet and nerves child when we got her now I know you didn't physically hurt her when you had her I'm not saying that but sometimes the words or lack of words to a child can hurt them just as much. And maybe you didn't know that you were doing it but you did and frankly I don't want you around her if I'm not there I know what you said to her last night…..

"I don't know what she told you remember I told you when you got her she lied a lot"

"Listen I know Michaela we have had her for a while now and I haven't experienced any lying she has no reason to lie here we are honest and truthful about our feeling and if there is something bothering us then we sit down and talk about it"

"Well I can see here that she got to you she put on her little charms and got to you I knew that would happen but I didn't think you would fall for it I can see that we are not welcome here so by the end of today we will be out of you hair don't want to inconvience you any Lord knows I took that child when no one else would I stepped up when no one else would I don't know who you think you are talking to me the way you did but Joe and I will be out of your hair and you won't here from us again you and that girl have a lot in common and I hope it all works out for the best"

"Well I didn't expect you to leave but I think maybe its best that you do knowing you stand on things so I will wish you a safe trip home"

Michaela woke up just about when Meg and Joe were going to leave

"Oh are you going site seeing Aunt Meg, why do you have your bags?"

"Well your uncle and I feel it best to go to a place that is more welcoming then here." Looking at Lu and then she turned back to Mike. "Well it looks like you got your dream land didn't you and the things I said to you last night all true and here is a note to leave on you may have Lu here fouled but just remember I don't we all know how you really are and you will always be that way just remember what I said"

Before Lu could react to the comment they were out the door and down the stairs. Lu turned to Michaela and could see that she was hurt by the words that were just said to her she looked over and saw that Marc also heard what had just happening he was standing in his doorway listen to the conversation.

"Mike, Marc said, don't listen to her you know that you're a good person and that it is her that was the wrong one it's not your fault she is like that way it's hers"

"Yeah I know it's just I thought that maybe she would see me you know really me this time but I guess she never will"
