Chapter 7
Jay kept his eyes closed as Carlos answered the door.
"Hey Carlos! We have some arts and crafts things set up in the art room if you want to bring the boys." Jane's voice floated in the room.
"No thanks the boys ad Jay are taking a nap." Carlos whispered.
"OK well we will be in there until dinner. So if the boys wake up bored you can come over to the art room or Belle has brought some books from her library if the boys want a book to read!" Jane smiled.
" I'll ask the boys what they want to do." Carlos nodded.
"See you later." Jane waved.
"Bye!" Carlos waved then shut the door.
Jay must have drifted into a deep sleep because he did not wake up until he heard the boys laughing at Dude chasing a ball around the room.
"Can I take Dude for a walk?" Cole asked with big eyes.
"Not right now but maybe later." Carlos petted Dude.
"How long was I asleep? " Jay sat up stretching.
"About two hours. The boys just woke up right before you." Carlos looked at his watch.
"What do we do now?" Harper asked.
"Do you guys want to go to Arts and crafts or go to the library? " Carlos asked.
"Library! " Two boys shouted.
"Arts and craft!" Four boys shouted.
"How about I take Andrew and Cole to the library and you take the others to the art room." Carlos suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Jay shrugged.
"Andrew hoped up and down as they headed to the library.
"What kind of kids books do they have?" Cole asked.
"I don't know we will have to see when we get there." Carlos looked down at the boys.
When they entered the library the boys stopped and looked around in awe. They had never seen anything so big and their parents had big libraries.
"Hello boys!" Belle greeted.
"Hi." The boys greeted softly.
"Do you have any kids books?" Cole whispered to Carlos.
"I don't know ask her." Carlos gently turned Cole towards Belle.
Belle smiled softly and kneeled down in front of Cole.
"Do you have any kids books." Cole asked shyly.
"I sure do I brought a lot of Ben's old books for you all to read." Belle stood up and held out her hands, Cole took her right hand.
"You know King Ben?" Andrew asked as he took her left hand.
"Very well he is my son!" Belle grinned.
"Your King Ben's mommy? I thought you were King Adam's wife how can you be both?" Cole looked up confused.
Belle giggled.
"Well Adam and I are Ben's parents. Adam was king before Ben was." Belle explained patiently as she lead them to a large table full of books.
"Wow!"
"Cool!" Were the boys response as they began to dig though the books.
"Can I help you find a book?" Belle smiled at Carlos.
"No thank you I'm still reading the book I have." He smiled.
"How was the first game?" Belle smiled knowingly.
"They kind of liked to stay in the kill zone and run in the opposite way of the goal. That drove Jay nuts he wants them to win but their just little kids." Carlos sighed.
"I'm sure you are both going to be good coachs." Belle smiled.
Jay couldn't believe how transformed the art room was when they walked in. The tables we're pushed together into sections. Mal had canvases set up at one table. There was paper and scissors at another table,then there was a table with beads, another table with clay and Evie was setup in the corner with her sewing machine. Some older boys and girls we're already there. The counselors were standing around talking.
"Hey guys! Pick a table and there will be a craft and I will help you get started.
The boys took a few minutes to decide what they wanted to do. Gene and Alan silently talking to each other with their hands. Connor went to Mal to paint and Harper went to the table with the scissors. Gene and Alan decided on the clay table. Jay let Jane help the boys while he went over to the other counselors one of them was Chad.
"Hey Jay you know where your other kids are?" Chad smirked.
"Yeah their in the library with Calls." Jay play punched Chad on the shoulder.
"That's good." Chad chuckled rubbing his shoulder.
"Where's Andrew?" Caleb walked up to them from the paint table.
"He went to the library with Carlos." Jay said.
"Chad can we go to the library? " Caleb looked up pleadingly.
"We'll see what everyone wants to do in a little while go finish your painting." Chad kneeled down in font of Caleb.
"OK!" Caleb seemed happy and went back to painting.
"How old are you?" Asked a beefy blonde boy when Caleb sat down.
"I'm almost eleven. "Caleb answered.
"Do you know who that is talking to your counselor? " the kid leaned over more when Mal walked past.
"Yeah that is Jay he is my brother's counselor." Caleb shrugged.
"His dad is a villain and so are the other girls Mal and Evie." The boy smiled when Caleb's eyes grew big.
"Don't worry I have a plan." The bigger boy patted the smaller one.
