After making their purchases and filling up the bus, Frankie took her place in the drivers seat, looking at her wrist watch with a smile, then turned her attention to the review mirror to look at the people in the back of the bus saying, "good job today guys, we got out in record timing, and because of that, you will get an extra treat when you get home."
Sarah smiled saying, "Bella and Skeet deserve the treat, without their help, we probably would still be in the store."
Frankie smiled to Sarah with a nod, as the kids ran to their seats.
"GEE! I wonder what could it be, extra dessert, no curfew, oooh! No chores?" Skeet anxiously listed in curiosity of what the extra treat is.
"Well I don't care what it is, but all that matters is that we earned it," Bella stated plainly, setting her bags on the bus floor so she could have some room to sit down.
Skeet looked at Bella who was now sitting across from him and scuffed a little. Sometimes her selfishness was really uncanny to a certain degree, in his retrospect, it made him feel selfish and bad for being that way.
Bella sat down in her seat taking out a few doll dresses that she had bought, and a new dress for herself. She noticed Skeet sitting down in a slump, with his arms crossed and head down. She knew sometimes Skeet could be selfish, self centered and thoughtless at times, but he really does mean well once you get to know him, she thought spreading some of her opinions and thoughts around him might try to make him think twice about what he said, though … it sometimes makes things worse.
Sarah sighed to the kids talk as she knew all to well were it was going to lead once they got home. Walking to the back of the bus where Wilt sat to make sure none of the food would tumble over and spill. She smiled as he organized himself, asking, "Mind if I sit with you?"
Wilt looked up surprised for a little bit but snapped out of it, he smiled back answering as he made room for her, "of course."
Sarah smiled more as she sat next to him as Frankie got the bus up and running and drove off. On the way, Sarah looked at Skeet who was looking through his shopping bag for a toy Wilt got for him for winning some games at the arcade and Bell was folding her dresses nice and neatly.
Sarah smiled sweet to the two children then looked at Wilt saying, "Thank you for spending some time with the kids, they get use to their own little group that sometimes they just need a little push to get to know others."
Wilt blushed, "Aww…it was nothing, I think they are both great in their own little way, Skeet is very competitive and Bella is so sweet and adorable but both of them are very thoughtful towards their creators."
"Yes, that's how they are, even with all of the things their creators wanted, they gained a few things on their own, and I am so very proud of them." Sarah smile slowly downcast as she looked down, she knew that she had to give up her kids because they needed a life of their own. But…that never takes away the hurt of leaving loved ones.
Wilt looked at Sarah with a small frown after seeing Sarah's face change, without thinking, he put his right hand on her shoulder, "As I am sure that your creators are proud to be of you." He smiled.
Sarah looked up with a small smile, "yeah…your right…" she took a deep breath sitting back in her seat as Wilt watched from the corner of his eye at her contentment and inwardly, his grin was bigger than the one on his face.
