Once they got home Sean and Katie headed up to his room for a while
Once they got home Sean and Katie headed up to his room for a while. When they got there Sean pulled out a book and asked if she would like him to read to her. No I don't think so said Katie. If you do then I will fall asleep. I think I want to be really tired before I go to bed tonight. It will help me get a good nights sleep. Alright said Sean what would you like to do? I could draw said Katie. What would you like to draw asked Sean? I could draw you. Let me go and get my art kit and I will be right back. Katie went and got her art kit and returned to Sean's room a few moments later.
Where would you like me to sit he asked? You don't need to sit anywhere special just do some homework or read a book. I don't want to do that I would be ignoring you and that isn't polite he said. It is ok. If you sit then you will be to stiff in the picture.
Sean agreed to this and pulled out a book and some parchment and started to work on an assignment he was given for the Christmas break. Are you sure that you don't mind me doing homework while you just sit there. No I don't mind. It helps me concentrate. After about an hour Katie stopped drawing. I am not finished but I have the start done. I need to add some detail. Sean went over to have a look. That is really good. You should show mom that. Ok I will. At that Mrs. Sullivan came up and told them that dinner was almost ready and that they should be getting ready. Ok mom said Sean. Katie and Sean washed their hands and went downstairs.
Dinner was wonderful. Twinkle prepared all of Katie's favourites and did not make turnip. After dinner they sat and listened to the wireless until it was time for Katie and Sean to head off to bed for the night. They headed up stairs and went to bed. Katie got into bed and tried not to get too upset that it was her last night there. She did shed a few tears but tried not to let anyone know.
A couple of hours later a cry was heard from Katie's room. Sean heard this and came running. What is wrong he asked when he got there? Katie couldn't tell him she was too upset. Sean embraced her and after a couple of minutes she calmed down enough to tell him what had scared her. It was a bad dream. I was walking along a hallway and someone came up behind me and grabbed me and took me away to a dark room. They wouldn't let me go. I was so scared. It will be fine said Sean. You are safe now. As he said this he was rocking her back and forth to comfort her. After a few minutes she fell asleep in his arms and he gently laid her down on her pillows and covered her up again. Before he left her room he gave her a little kiss on the forehead.
Early the next morning Sean went to wake up Katie only to find that she was already awake and was attempting to pack all of her clothes into her suitcase. Do you want any help he asked? Katie just looked at him and tears started to stream down her face. Sean rushed over to her and she broke down into tears. I know I have to go home but I am going to miss you so much. I was going to try to get this done early. Here let me help you. They sat together for a half hour packing everything carefully. Can I leave my teddy here for when I come back in the summer she asked? Sure you can if you want I can keep it in my room. That would be good that way he won't be too lonely. When you go back to school could you ask you mom to keep him in her room. If not he will be so lonely. I am sure my mom won't mind doing that. Katie just smiled.
When they were done they went downstairs to have some breakfast. Twinkle was waiting for them. What would you like for breakfast this morning she asked? Could I have some French toast asked Katie? Yeah that sounds good said Sean. Yes I can make French toast if you wish. I will bring out some juice for you in a moment she said as she made her way into the kitchen.
Twinkle brought out the juice and the French toast. Sean and Katie ate their breakfast quietly. Just as they finished Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan came down for breakfast themselves. You two are up early again this morning. Why is that asked Mr. Sullivan. I was up early to make sure I got everything packed in my suitcase. Sean got up and helped me. We have everything packed. Sean is going to keep teddy until he goes to school. After that would it be possible for you to keep teddy so he won't get too lonely she asked Mrs. Sullivan. I would be happy to keep teddy with me. Good said Katie. When will you be going home today asked Mrs. Sullivan? I guess in a couple of hours said Katie. It is still very early there and I don't want to scare anyone popping in in the middle of the night. I guess I will leave around noon if that is ok she said. How about you leave at one and then you can have lunch before you go? Oh ok I guess one would be ok.
They sat there for a few minutes until Sean's parents were finished their breakfast. I had better be getting going now said Mr. Sullivan. I have to get to work. He went over to Katie and gave her a hug and kissed her cheek. It was nice having you here. Thank you for having me she said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. I am going to miss you she said. Mr Sullivan just smiled. Well bye then he said and he apparated off to work.
What are the two of you going to do this morning asked Mrs. Sullivan? I don't know said Sean. What do you want to do he asked Katie? Katie just looked at him. How about I read a story to you he asked? No I don't think so said Katie. I could finish my picture said Katie. I could do that and you could do some homework if you want. Your picture questioned Mrs. Sullivan? Yes I started a picture of Sean yesterday. I just need to add some detail to it. May I see it asked Mrs. Sullivan? Sure Katie went upstairs and got her art kit and brought it down. She opened it and showed Mrs. Sullivan the picture she was drawing.
That is really good said Mrs. Sullivan. You are a very good artist. If you want I can send it to you when it is finished said Katie. No you keep it. No it is ok I will just draw another one. Oh I would love to have one of your pictures. Katie smiled. I could draw a picture of you if you want? Of me, how long would it take for you to draw a picture of me asked Mrs. Sullivan? I don't know but I could at least start it even if I don't finish it. Oh alright would you like me to sit anywhere special? No I just need you to sit for a couple of minutes then you can go and do anything you want.
Katie sat for about twenty minutes sketching Sean's mother. If you want you can get up now. I will finish it in a few minutes. It will only be a rough sketch but you will get an idea of what it will look like when it is finished.
Katie sat for another half an hour. If you want you can look at my picture. She showed Sean and Mrs. Sullivan the picture. Katie that is beautiful but I don't look like that. What do you mean she asked? You have made me too pretty she said. Katie just looked at her and said. That is how I see you. Upon hearing this Mrs. Sullivan broke into tears. You are such a sweet little girl she said as she gathered her into a hug.
I will finish it and send you the finished picture in the mail if that is ok said Katie? That would be wonderful.
Sean went upstairs and brought down Katie's suitcase and her baby that she got when Sean won it for her at the amusements. Here you are said Sean, I brought down Emily Ann for you. Thank you said Katie. I guess it is time for me to go home she said as tears started to show in her eyes. Mrs Sullivan gave her a big hug. I am so glad you could come and stay with us this week; I have enjoyed having you here. Katie hugged her back. I had a wonderful time thank you again for having me said Katie as tears ran down her cheeks.
Sean took her hand and led her to the door. He helped her on with her coat and made sure she had everything. So you have everything he asked? I think so said Katie. I have my suitcase, my art kit, my purse and Emily Ann. Then she looked up at Sean. He looked at her and tears came to his eyes. Please Katie don't cry. It won't be that long until I am home for spring break. I know that but I am still going to miss you. He leaned over and gave her a big hug. Katie hugged him back and started to walk out the door. Just then she put down her suitcase and art kit and ran back to Sean and hugged him again. She went up on her tip toes and put her arms around his neck. I love you she said and she gave him a kiss. I love you too he said. With that she went back to her suitcase and art kit picked them up and disappeared.
Then next thing she knew she was in her bedroom at home.
