Thank you to those who have stopped by to read this.
When they returned home, Daniel was helping Haley out from the back of the truck. She was walking slowly into the big house. She was looking all around to see if she could remember, but nothing. She then sat down on the couch to rest.
"Hungry?" Brian was then asking her.
"A little she." She said to him when she shrugged her shoulders.
"What would you like Chile, mac and cheese?" He then asked her.
"What ever is good." She told him with a half a smile.
The others sat around, they didn't want to sit to close to her. Adam sat on the chair reading the paper like he always did. Ford and Guthrie were playing checkers. She was getting a little nervous sitting among them. Brian was working on dinner. He was making mac and cheese for them all.
"Dinner." He hollered out to them while he was getting the table ready.
When they were coming into the kitchen, Haley was taking a seat but this time in Daniel's seat.
"That's Daniel's seat." Guthrie was telling his sister when Crane nudged to his youngest brother that it was ok.
"That's ok. She can sit there." Adam was then telling Guthrie.
"I can get up." She told them when Adam to sit there.
Ford placed some mac and cheese on her plate. He then realized he did it for her. He gave his brothers a worried look.
"Sorry." He told her when he turned towards her.
"Its ok." She said to him in a shy way.
She sat there listening to them talk about the things she had no clue about.
"Can I have a drink please?" She asked Adam when she gave him her glass.
"Sure here you ok." He said to her when he was pouring her some milk.
After dinner was done and Ford and Guthrie were cleaning up the kitchen, they were all inside sitting. Adam was giving Haley a photo book to look through. He thought that would help her memory.
"This is you and Daniel ." Adam said while Crane was pointing to Daniel. Daniel gave her a slight wave.
"Where's my Mom and Dad?" She was then asking them.
They all stopped and gave each other a look. They didn't know how to tell her the truth.
"They died.' Adam said to her softly. He didn't know how else to say it to her. He was feeling bad that he did have to tell her.
"Died. How?" She sat there asking with tears in her eyes.
"It was 9 yrs ago." Brian said while helping Adam out.
"So now I have no memory of them as well?" She asked them shockingly.
"Yeah." Adam told her softly.
"So much to take in. No Mom and Dad. Seven brothers." She started to say.
They looked at each other when they knew this was a lot for her to take in.
"I need to go lie down." She told him when she was heading upstairs.
"Do you want me to show you to your room?" Daniel was asking her, when he was wondering.
"Um. Ok thank you." She was telling him while she followed him upstairs.
He then brought her to her room. She saw two beds in the room. She stopped and gave Daniel a look.
"Something wrong?" He asked her when he was coming by her.
"Who sleeps in here with me?" She asked him in a freighting way.
"Guthrie and you share this room." Daniel was telling her.
She had this shocking look upon her face.
"You didn't mind it. Plus you two are twins." Daniel was telling her. "I can have him bunk with one of guys."
"Thank you." She told him when she sat down on the bed.
Daniel had then left her room so she could lay down and rest and take it all in. Adam saw Daniel coming down.
"How did it go?" Adam asked as he was wondering.
"Not good. Guthrie you need to bunk with one of us. She was shocked to see that them two share a room." Daniel was telling them.
"Poor kid." Brian said shaking his head.
The next day the boys were waking up. Haley was still sleeping in bed. Brian was cooking breakfast for them all. He was making eggs and bacon. Jut then there was a knock at the door. Adam was getting up to get the door. It was Haley's Doctor .
"Just in time Doc." Brian said as he was coming into the kitchen.
"Thanks. Haven't eaten yet. I wanted to check on her since I saw how she was yesterday." Doctor said to them.
Haley was then coming down and was sitting next to Ford again. She wasn't hungry.
"Hello Haley. How was your first night?" The Doctor was asking her.
"Ok. Lot to take in." She told him when she sat there quietly.
"In time it will." He told her when he was then eating his eggs and bacon.
When the Doctor had then left after breakfast. The others were getting ready to work out on the ranch. Haley was walking around trying to see if she could remember anything.
