I am so sorry for the mistake! I have changed the chapter and everything should be okay now.

Carey was up early the next morning. She wanted to make Cody his favorite breakfast for him. She had begun to make the blueberry pancakes when the phone suddenly rang. "Hello."

"Hi. This is Kathy. Could you bring Cody in a little early today? I have a feeling one that the client after Cody might have a breakthrough and I want to give him all some extra time. I moving every appointment a half hour early if it's okay with everyone."

"Oh sure. That's shouldn't be a problem. So the appointment's at 3:00?"

"Yup. Thanks. I'll see you then. Bye."

"Bye," Carey said as she hung up the phone. Not a minute later, Zack slowly walked to the kitchen. He was still a little groggy from waking up.

"I'm sorry, Zack. Did the phone wake you up?"

"Uh, no. I coould smell you're famous...blueberry pancakes cooking," Zack said with a smile, looking into the bowl of batter.

"But I haven't even started cooking them yet. And I thought you didn't like blueberry pancakes?"

"No. That's blueberry waffles. I love pancakes. But yeah, the phone woke me up. I was just trying to make you feel better."

"Thanks for the consideration." Both Carey and Zack laughed at that. It wasn't long before Cody could smell the pancakes. He also came out of his room, and the family started talking.

When the pancakes were done, they ate and washed the dishes. Well, Carey washed the dishes while Cody slept and Zack pretended to sleep. At 2:45, Carey, Zack and Cody left for Cody's apointment. Upon entering the building Carey told Cody that Zack and her were going to go grocery shopping.

"Do you want us to get anything special?" Carey asked.

Cody's face lit up. He pretended he was cold and then acted like he was putting aspoon in his mouth. Carey understood. "Okay. I bet you want strawberry don't you?"

He nodded. Strawberry ice cream was his favorite.

Carey and Zack left, and Cody walked over to a chair. Before he could even sit down, Kathy called him over to start the appointment. During the appointment Kathy tried getting Cody to talk. The kid was like a rock that woouldn't break. At this rate, he would never need to talk. Everyone was beginning to understand him as if he were talking. At the end of the hour, Kathy led Cody into the waiting room where his mom and Zack were waiting.

"Carey. I'd like to talk to you in private for a minute," said Kathy. Carey followed Kathy to her office. "I haven't seen much improvement in Cody. The way I see it, he doesn't need to talk. If everyone around him can understand him right now, then he is not going to want to talk. If you want Cody to get better then your going to have to pretend you can't understand him when he doesn't talk. You also have to tell everyone else that they need to do the same. Eventually, Cody will crack when he realices that no one can understand him."

"What! You just want me to ignore my own son?" said Carey raising her voice.

"Well, basically. It's the best way. Nothing else has worked."

"I don't want him to hate me though."

"He won't hate you. You're his mother. He might not be the least bit happy, but he won't hate you."

"Fine. I'll do it, and I'll tell everyone else to do it too. But if it doesn't work, I'm not going to ignore him anymore. I think he just needs some time to get over everything."

"Okay. Alls I ask is that you try. Thank you. Have a nice day."

Carey left without saying good bye. It would not be fun ignoring Cody. It would break his heart thinking that no one could understand him."

Carey, Zack and Cody all piled into the car. On the way home, Cody silently asked if Carey had bought the ice cream, but Carey ignored him. She couldn't help but see the pain that swept across his eyes at that moment.

Well now that this chapter is how it is supposed to be. Please review! Man, I feel stupid. LOL. Thanks for being patient with me.
