Chapter Five

Getting a Funny Feeling

Kieran wakes up first and walks down the kitchen.

Leah walks into the kitchen a few minutes later.

"How did you sleep?" Kieran asks.

"I didn't look but I'm pretty sure I slept with my eyes shut" Leah answers.

Kieran laughs.

The scouts walk into the kitchen.

"What's so funny daddy?" Serena asks.

"Leah just said something funny that's all" Kieran answers.

"Il n'était rien vraiment" Leah says.

Kieran stares at Leah.

"That was French" Kieran yells.

"What does she say dad?" Serena asks.

"She said it was nothing really" Kieran answers.

Amy looks at Leah.

"How do you know French?" Amy asks.

"I am French and I was born in Paris, France" Leah answers.

Leah grins.

Comme la lune allume la nuit

Comme le vent allume le feu

Comme la pluie remplit chaque océan

Et le soleil, la terre

Avec votre coeur, allumez mon coeur

Prenez mon coeur

Prenez mon coeur

Allumez-l'avec votre coeur

Et mon coeur

Ne peut pas être

Allumé sans vous

Avec votre coeur

Allumez mon coeur

"What in world was that?" Raye asks.

"It was the song "Kindle My Heart" in French" Leah answers.

"Hmm…I get the feeling that I know you" Amy says.

"Yeah us too" the other scouts reply.

Leah turns to Kieran.

"What about you?" Leah asks.

"Yeah I'm getting the same feeling but it's really strong" Kieran answers.

All of sudden the phone rings.

Serena runs over and picks up the receiver.

"Hello Serenity residence…Serena speaking" Serena says.

"Could I talk Kieran Serenity?" the voice asks.

"Yeah sure you can" Serena answers.

"Who is for?" Kieran asks.

"It's for you dad" Serena answers.

Kieran takes the phone from Serena.

"This is Dr. Kieran Serenity" Kieran says.

"Hi, this is Dr. Alfonzo Kishi" the voice replies.

Kieran smiles at little.

"Is there something wrong?" Kieran asks.

"You remember you phoned me the other day to tell me that you've been feeling sick lately when I think that if the two of us got together than we could figure out what's wrong with you because two heads are better than one" Dr. Kishi answers.

"Yes that's true so I'll be right there" Kieran says.

Kieran hangs up the phone, he grabs his coat and heads to the Tsuki Hoshi Byouin.

Dr. Kishi is waiting for Kieran.

"Follow me" Dr. Kishi replies.

Dr. Kishi and Kieran walk into a little room.

"What are the symptoms that you've been getting lately?" Dr. Kishi asks.

"My symptoms lately have been frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, extreme hunger, sudden vision changes, tingling or numbness in hands or feet, feeling very tired much of the time, very dry skin, sores that are slow to heal and I've been getting more infections than usual" Kieran answers.

"We both know what those are the symptoms for so I think it would be best if you stayed in until you get on handle this" Dr. Kishi says.

"Well in that case I need to make a phone call" Kieran replies.

Kieran runs out the payphone, he puts in a quarter and dials his number.

Leah picks up the phone.

"This is Leah LeMorre" Leah says.

"Hi, Leah" Kieran replies.

"Are you still at the hospital?" Leah asks.

"Yes I am" Kieran answers.

"Why?" Leah asks.

"Dr. Kishi and I figured out what's wrong with me" Kieran answers.

"What it is?" Leah asks.

"I'm diabetic" Kieran answers.

Leah gets a worried look on her face and she sighs.

"That's not so great" Leah says.

"Yeah I know and Dr. Kishi thinks it would be a better if I stayed at the hospital to get a handle on it" Kieran replies.

"I agree with Dr. Kishi on that one" Leah says.

"Could you look after my daughter while I'm in the hospital?" Kieran asks.

"Yeah of course I can" Leah answers.

"Thanks a lot" Kieran says.

Leah and Kieran hang up the phones.

Serena walks into the front hallway where Leah is.

"Who was on the phone?" Serena asks.

"It was your father" Leah answers.

"When is he coming home?" Serena asks.

"He won't be for awhile because he and Dr. Kishi discovered what was wrong" Leah answers.

"What is wrong with my father?" Serena asks.

"He's diabetic so he is staying in the hospital until he gets on handle it" Leah answers.

Serena walks into the living room, she lays on the couch and starts crying.

"Why did this have to happen to my father?" Serena asks between sobs.

Leah walks into the living room and sits on the coffee table by the couch.

"It's just one of those things we can't control" Leah answers.

Serena looks up Leah and smiles a little.
