Getting Ready
Hilda awoke the next morning excited about Amanda. She figured that there was no use her being worried. This was a gift, a second chance for her to do the right thing. She got out of bed and decided to take a long shower.
Downstairs Sabrina and Zelda were talking about it. "So, how do you feel about this Sabrina?" "Geez, you're starting to sound like a therapist", said Sabrina chuckling. "Oh I'm sorry I just want to make sure you are ok with this. Things are going to change around here." "Yeah, I know, but I think Aunt Hilda needs this. I always feel like she is missing something, so maybe this is it. The truth is I couldn't be happier for her." Zelda put her hand on Sabrina's back and said, "I'm glad you feel that way."
"Hello, everybody", said a chipper Hilda. "My somebody's a little happy", said Sabrina. They all laughed as Hilda sat at the table with them. Hilda looked over at the toaster and saw that Salem was still staring at it. "Is he still trying to use his 'Jedi mind powers'?" "Yeah, sadly", said Zelda. Salem looked over at them and said, "You can't rush art." Hilda looked back at him and said, "Or psychotic breakdowns."
"So are you ok?" asked Zelda. "Yeah I'm fine. I was just a little worried yesterday that's all. So are you both sure you're ok with this?" Both Zelda and Sabrina nodded. "Great, oh yeah, Zelda I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this earlier." "That's ok, I understand. I just want you to know that you can tell me anything." "Thanks." "No problem. So where do you want her to stay?" "Well I was thinking, the guest room." "Yeah, but it's awful dull; we'll have to spruce it up a bit." "I was thinking we should just clean it and leave it blank. I figured we could let her decide what she wants in it." "That's a good idea Aunt Hilda."
For the rest of the week Hilda, Zelda, and Sabrina worked on getting ready for Amanda. Hilda wanted everything to be perfect. She was so excited and just couldn't wait for the arrival of Amanda.
The night before Amanda's arrival, Hilda got another call. "Hello?" "Is this Hilda Spellman?" "Yeah", she said excitedly. "I'm calling to confirm Amanda's arrival. We want to know if you still want her." Hilda was a little confused, "Of course I still want her she is my daughter." "We were just checking. She will arrive approximately 1:00 tomorrow afternoon." "Ok we'll be ready." Again, the phone clicked without a goodbye. "Geez, so much for manners."
"That was them again", said Hilda as she walked up to Zelda, "She's supposed to be here at 1:00 tomorrow." "That's great Hilda." Zelda gave her sister a hug, "I'm so happy for you." Zelda was happy for her sister, but something didn't seem right. She hoped that her sister wouldn't be disappointed. "Thanks, I couldn't do this without you", said Hilda.
