Chapter 7
Coda Is Not Happy Being The Middle Child
Anneliese comes downstairs than notices her son Coda sitting on the couch looking all sad. Anneliese walks over to the couch and sits next to him.
"What's the matter Coda?" Anneliese asked.
"I don't want to talk about it mom so just leave me alone." Coda answered as he gets to his feet than goes out to the back patio.
Anneliese gets a really confused look on her face. Robbie Ray comes back from his morning jog and notices the confused look on his wife's face. Robbie Ray walks over and sits next to his wife.
"What's wrong darling?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Coda got all mad when I asked him what was wrong." Anneliese answered.
Robbie Ray puts his arm around Anneliese.
"Oh I'm sure that he will tell you when he's ready." Robbie Ray said.
Anneliese looks up into Robbie Ray's gorgeous green eyes.
Meanwhile out on the back patio Coda is in tears
Harmony hears Coda crying than comes out to the back patio and sits next to her brother.
"What's the matter little brother?" Harmony asked.
"I just feel like I'm not wanted anymore." Coda answered.
"Why would you say that?" Harmony asked.
"I said it because since the twins were born and you started school I just feel left out." Coda answered.
Anneliese is listening from the patio door.
"Awe poor Coda. We've been paying so much attention to the twins and Harmony. Oh boy now I feel well bad about all this." Anneliese thinks to herself.
Anneliese walks back inside the house just as Robbie Ray comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her. Harmony comes inside for a few minutes to get some tissues than goes back outside.
"Would you mind if I sang you a song Coda?" Harmony asked.
"Yeah okay if you want to." Coda answered.
The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck with a day that's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin and grin,
And say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya tomorrow!
You're always…a day…a way!
Anneliese and Robbie Ray hear Harmony singing.
"Wow she's got a beautiful singing voice." Robbie Ray thinks in his mine.
Anneliese grins a little.
"I always knew that she would end up having a beautiful singing voice just like someone else around here we know." Anneliese said.
"Do you mean you darling?" Robbie Ray asked.
Anneliese nods her head.
"Yeah I mean me." Anneliese answered sarcastically.
Robbie Ray smiles.
"She's so cute when she's been all sarcastic." Robbie Ray thinks to himself.
"Oh this from someone who a little while ago didn't like my sarcastic side." Anneliese said.
"I guess it just had to grow on me that's all and it makes you just as more special." Robbie Ray replied.
Anneliese hugs Robbie Ray really tight. Coda and Harmony walk inside.
"Did that song help you feel better?" Harmony asked.
"Yeah a little sis." Coda answered.
"That's good to hear and there's no need to feel the way that you are feeling because everyone in this house loves you very much." Harmony said.
Anneliese walks over to Coda and gets eye level with him.
"Your sister is right because you are my very special boy and don't ever forget that." Anneliese replied.
Coda gives his mother a great big hug.
"I love you mom." Coda said.
Anneliese smiles.
"I love you too Coda." Anneliese replied.
Robbie Ray rolls his gorgeous green eyes.
"Uh oh I think daddy's feeling left out now mom." Harmony said as she gives her father a hug.
Anneliese gets to her feet than goes over to Robbie Ray and kisses him.
"There's no need for you to feel left out either sweetheart because you know that I love you more than life itself." Anneliese replied.
Robbie Ray smiles than kisses Anneliese.
"I know that darling and I was just kidding around with you." Robbie Ray replied.
A few hours later they all go to bed. The next morning Robbie Ray gets up than goes for his morning jog. Anneliese gets up awhile later than goes downstairs to get something to eat. Miley comes into the kitchen and grabs a waffle.
"Is that all you are having Miles?" Anneliese asked.
"Yeah it is because I'm meeting Lilly and Oliver at the beach." Miley answered.
Miley takes the waffle and leaves the house eating it. Anneliese sighs deeply than suddenly she starts to get really weak.
Meanwhile on the boardwalk Robbie Ray is jogging
Robbie Ray suddenly senses that something is wrong with Anneliese.
"Oh Anneliese. Don't worry darling I'm coming." Robbie Ray said.
Robbie Ray starts running as fast as he can back to the house. Anneliese is starting to feel like she's going to faint and suddenly she does but Robbie Ray runs in that very moment than catches her in his arms.
"Oh please be okay my beautiful blue eyed angel." Robbie Ray said.
Robbie Ray carries Anneliese up to their room than lays her on the bed. Anneliese moans a little. Robbie Ray runs into the bathroom than comes back a few minutes later with a damp face cloth and puts it on Anneliese's forehead. Anneliese moans again than suddenly opens her eyes. Robbie Ray lets out a sigh of relief.
"What happen? How did I get up here?" Anneliese asked.
"You fainted darling and I carried you up here." Robbie Ray answered.
"Thanks so much sweetheart." Anneliese said.
"It was nothing really plus I love carrying you in my arms because it feels so right." Robbie Ray replied.
Anneliese kisses Robbie Ray on the cheek.
"You're so sweet." Anneliese said.
"What made you get weak in the first place?" Robbie Ray asked.
"I'm not sure because one minute I was fine than next I started feeling really weak." Anneliese answered.
Robbie Ray goes down to the kitchen and comes back a few minutes later with a glass of ice cold water for Anneliese.
"Here darling drink this." Robbie Ray replied.
"Why do you want me to drink a glass of water?" Anneliese asked.
"I have a feeling that the reason you fainted was because you haven't had anything to drink for awhile." Robbie Ray answered.
"When did you become a doctor sweetheart?" Anneliese asked.
"I'm not a doctor darling." Robbie Ray answered.
"How can you be sure that's what is wrong with me than?" Anneliese asked.
"The same thing happen to me once than after I drank a glass of water I started to feel better." Robbie Ray answered.
Anneliese takes a sip of the water that Robbie Ray bought up to her. Robbie Ray senses that Anneliese is feeling a whole lot better than he lets out another sigh of relief. Robbie Ray pulls Anneliese close to him and they start kissing passionately.
