chapter 4
"Jess! Time for dinner!" April called. Jess ran downstairs. On the way to the kitchen, he passed Bam and Phil. He slowed down and listened.
"Bam, your mother wants to do tests for Paul's sake. She doesn't mean to be...well, mean."
"I know, Phil. But I wouldn't think it would be mine. I mean, he's obviously taken I liking to the drums now. I mean, when he watches me skateboard, he cries."
"Don't be like that Bam. Just go with Ape tommorow and just take your chances."
"Yeah, okay." Bam walked off to the dinner table. Jess followed behind him.
the next day
Jess held Paul in his arms and Bam walked with them. Ape waited in the car. They piled into the PT Cruiser and took off to the hospital.
On the way there Bam said, "Why do we have to do this, Ape?"
She sighed, "Bam, I'm really curious. Just go along with it, okay?" After this, Bam sat back in his seat and didn't talk on the rest of the way there.
20 minutes later, the four of them pulled into the parking lot. They got out, entered the hospital and rode the elevator up to the floor the doctor was on.
