Childhood Dreams chp 3
After talking to his daughter, Jake stood up. Getting off his daughter's bed, Jake told his youngest, "Princess, don't forget to take your medicine alright?"
"Do I have to take it daddy?" Sara asked her dad.
"Yes, you do. Do you even take it at your mom's?" Jake answered.
"Catherine and Nicky usually remind me because mommy doesn't tell me. And I try and remember on my own." Sara told him.
"Okay. Why don't you go take it before you forget, all right?" Jake told her.
"Daddy, why do I have to take it? I don't like it." Sara answered him while getting off her bed.
"Because, the doctor said to, before and after you get up, or go to bed; and besides, it'll help with your asthma too." Jake answered his youngest.
"Okay, but why do I have the inhaler if that's supposed to help with the asthma?" Sara asked while she followed her dad down the stairs.
"Sara, we went over this before. You should know by now, especially since you had your first asthma attack a few years ago." Jake told her as they entered the kitchen.
Getting a glass of water, while her dad got her medicine Sara said, "I know; I just wanted to ask again."
Handing her medicine to her Jake said, "After you take this, I want you to go get ready for bed, all right?"
"Okay, fine," Sara, replied as she took her medicine. After taking her medicine, Sara put the glass in the sink before heading upstairs to get ready for bed.
Upstairs in Sara's room…
While getting ready for bed, Sara heard a knock on her door. She said, "Just a second."
A few minutes later, after putting her clothes away, she went and opened the door to see who was knocking. Seeing her sister, Sara asked, "Yeah?"
"Just seeing how you're doing," Catherine answered as she leaned against the doorframe.
"I'm okay, I'm better now." Sara told her as she moved to let her sister in.
Walking into her sister's room, Catherine said, "That's good, I'm glad. Did you take your medicine yet?"
"Yes I took it, like ten minutes ago," Sara replied as she sat on her bed.
"Good, wanna go watch a movie before its time for bed?" Catherine asked her.
"Yeah! Can we watch, ummmm…the Parent Trap?" Sara asked as she got up off her bed and followed her older sister to the living room.
Walking down the stairs, Catherine said, "Sure why not kid."
In the living room…
Walking into the living room Sara said, "I'll put the movie in!"
"Okay, have at it, I'll get us drinks. What would you like to drink?" Catherine asked before going into the kitchen.
"I'll just have grape juice, please." Sara answered her sister as she got the movie out and turned the T.V. on. Then she put the movie in.
"Okay, I'll be right back, don't start it yet," Catherine told her as she went into the kitchen to get two drinks.
"I won't," Sara replied as she went and sat on the couch.
A few minutes later Jake walks into the room, and asks his youngest, "Hey princess, what ya doing?"
"Hi daddy! Me and Catherine are going to watch a movie before we have to go to bed." Sara answered her dad.
"You are? What movie you going to watch?" Jake asked as he sat in the recliner.
"We're watching the Parent Trap," Sara answered him as she walked over to sit on his lap.
"That sounds good," Jake, said when his oldest came in.
"Here you go kid," Catherine said as she handed her sister her drink before going over to the couch to sit down to watch the movie.
"Thanks Cath," Sara said as she took the drink from her older sister
"Yup, no problem, kid," Catherine said as she sat down on the couch.
Halfway through the movie, Sara had fallen asleep. Looking down at his youngest, Jake watched his daughter sleep. A few minutes later he felt movement and looked down at his daughter. He saw that she was having a bad dream so he started to wake her up.
"Wake up baby girl, your having a bad dream." Jake said as he tried waking her up.
Not getting anything from his youngest, Jake turned to his oldest and said, "Catherine, go get me a cold washcloth and a glass of water please."
Getting up off the couch, Catherine said, "Yeah sure dad, I'll be right back."
After getting a glass of water and a cold washcloth, Catherine went back into the living room, and handed them to her dad, "Here you go, dad."
"Thanks Cath," Jake said as he took the cup and washcloth from her. Then he turned to his little girl.
"Come on baby girl. Wake up sweetie."
A few minutes later Jake finally got his youngest to finally wake up, then he asked,
"Hey princess, you okay?"
"Hi daddy, y-yea I-I think, so." Sara answered her dad then leaned against her dad.
"Do you wanna talk about it princess?" Jake asked her.
"Not really, but I probly should," Sara answered her dad, then continued, "It was back when I had my first attack, mommy put me in one of the small closets."
~Flashback~
A slightly tall brunette haired woman with brown eyes was dragging a seven-year-old; then she threw her in the closet. When her mom closed the door, the seven-year-old started yelling, "Mommy, let me out, please! I'll be good, I promise!"
When she didn't hear anything from her mom, the seven-year-old started crying and said, "Please mommy, let me out! I can't breath mommy, l-l-let…me o-out, p-please…. mommy?"
A few minutes later, Sara heard her two older siblings and said through her tears, as she tried to breath.
"N-Nicky, C-Catherine, pl-please…l-let me o-out…I-I c-cant…b-breath."
Less than a few seconds later, Nick opened the closet door, and said, "Oh my gosh Sar', you okay?"
Crying through her tears, Sara answers, "N-Nicky, I-I…c-cant b-breath…m-mommy…l-locked…m-me i-in h-here."
Holding his little sister, Nick tells Catherine to call 911 for an ambulance while he tried to get his little sister to calm down.
~End Flashback~
After listening to his little girl, Jake asked, "Aw baby, you going to be all right tonight?"
Looking up at her dad, Sara replies, "Yeah, I think so," she then turned to her older sister, "Can I sleep with you tonight, Cath?"
"Sure, why not kid," Catherine, replied to her sister.
Sara then gets up off her dad and heads up the stairs.
Upstairs…Reaching the top of the stairs, Sara heads over to her brothers room and knocks on his door... Hearing her brother say, "Come in," Sara opened the door, and walked in.
Looking over at who was at the door, Nick says, "Hey. Whats up, squirt?"
"Nothing, just wanted to say goodnight," Sara answered her brother.
Standing up, Nick heads over to his little sister, and hugs her, while saying, "Night squirt, love ya."
"Love you too, Nicky," Sara says while hugging him back.
Walking out of his room, and walked over to Catherine's, Sara opens the door, and lays on her older sister's bed.
A few minutes later, Catherine walks into her room, and goes over to her bed, after shutting the door, lays down then says, "You okay Sar'?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, I just wish we lived here, and not at mommy's." Sara answered her older sister.
"Yeah, I know me too," Catherine, says as she plays with her sister's hair, trying to calm her down.
"Why is mommy always mean? Was she like that before I was born?" Sara asked.
Not wanting her sister to take it the wrong way, Catherine says, "Well sometimes she was. But DO NOT and I mean it DO NOT think it was your fault at anytime. It's not and it never will be... I'm glad you're my little sister and I wouldn't ask a better one if I could. I love you, kid."
"But why does it feel like it is? I'm glad you're my sister too, and I love you too," Sara replied.
Changing the subject, Catherine says, "Come on, let's go to sleep, I'm pretty sure you need it, kid."
"Yeah, night Cath, love you," Sara said before falling asleep.
"Night, and love you too Sar'," Catherine replied, and then went to sleep herself.
