All American Girl: Number 3, UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
'Oh my God Sam!' Mom yelled running out our front door
'We were all so worried, what happened to you…?' Mom broke off when I broke down crying. I rested on her shoulder and sobbed. 'Oh Sam, oh Sam…' mom kept saying
'Let's get you inside? Yeah? Have a shower and get into your pyjamas? Are you hungry? Thirsty?' She asked patting me on the back. 'I think you better have a bath, to relax yourself. Maybe have a quick shower first so the bath water doesn't get so dirty. Wash your hair, clean under your nails, clean yourself, your face. Scrub your feet and hands. Put on some moisturizer. OK? Once your done go and put on your pyjamas and come downstairs. I'll have some food waiting.'
'Mom,' I said 'thank you so much. I love you.'
'I love you too. I'm always here for you, Sam.'
So I did exactly what she said. In the bath I used "Aroma Therapy Bath Foam" and lets the lavender-y smell rise up and take me into a relaxing mode. I stayed in there for a while. When I got out and dried myself and my hair and put on moisturizer, I smelt my favorite sick-hard-day soup mom makes for me when I'm stressed or sick. It's like minestrone soup but with a twist. When I finally got downstairs I showed mom my stomach and what David had done. She got angry and went to call David and his parents but stopped. I asked, 'Will it hurt the baby mom?'
'No, I don't think so.' She replied 'Sit down and have a drink, the soup will be ready soon. I'll go and make a series of appointments at a confidential doctor's practice. You have to do that other wise they won't be able to fit you in for check ups.' I nodded and quietly sipped another hot home remedy, lemon and tea drink, it tasted really nice and relaxed me so much that I almost fell asleep. Mom came in a few minutes later with a glass of water and some soup. She took a bowl for herself and we both sat next to each other in huddled silence. Mom said, 'Sam, is there anything you'd like to watch?'
'Yes, actually.' I replied 'The Princess Diaries!'
'OK,' so we watched the princess diaries and mom guided me up the stairs and into my room. We didn't know that Lucy and Rebecca where camped out up there. I got into a freshly made bed (mom) and hugged my favorite teddy. She's white and had signatures of everyone in my Year Six class. I still have it now. I tied a pink and diamond (fake) ribbon around its neck and I've loved it ever since.
'You're back,' Lucy whispered
'She is?' Rebecca said
'I am,' I replied.
