Chapter 6: Walking to school

So there they went Matt, Simon and Ruthie walked in the warm sunshine. They walked 'til they got to Katy's "house". Katy and her "brother" were signing to each other. Matt and his siblings opened the gate. They saw the boy sitting on the grass talking to Katy. "Mom!!, The people are here to get Katy" he said. The older woman walked out with a dog. It was a golden retriever, Ruthie loved those kind of dogs. "Hi I'm Matt this is my little brother Simon and I think you already know my sister Ruthie" Matt said as he shook the woman's hand. " Nice to meet you Simon and Matt you're 15 minutes early so you can play with Katy in the backyard. Oh I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Kayla and this is Katy's dog, Clay" Kayla said. The little boy who was signing to Katy earlier was gone. " I think Katy's "brother" Jamie is in the backyard riding his bike and Katy I believe is out in the back swinging so you can go back there and talk to her if you want" Kayla said.

Matt and his siblings went into the backyard and sure enough Jamie was riding his bike and Katy was laughing while she was swinging. Clay wasn't far behind the others actually he was ahead of them and went over to the deck and sat down as he watched everyone around him. Clay had a look of pride in his eyes, it was as if he was Katy's father. Clay would be ready to help Katy if she needed it. "Hi" Katy said as she weakly waved her hand to Ruthie and the others. Katy was enjoying herself as she sat in a big clunky baby swing. Jamie on the other hand was riding on the paved path back and forth. Soon it was time to leave.
