A/N: For Christmas I will be heading on a cruise for a while, may not be till this weekend, but just a heads up. Enjoy the chapter!
Rhydian's POV:
Singing, dancing, and flapping, I wake up to the sound of the doves cooing their morning song. I extend my hands and let out a deep yawn. I feel a warm bundle in my arms and look down.
There in my arms in Maddy Smith. Her hair put into a frenzy, covering half her face like a shield. I see the steady rise and fall of her chest, still in her deep sleep. That is when I smell it. A sweet aroma fills the room and tempts my nose to take another whiff.
Bacon. I carefully set Maddy down on the blanket near her crutches, she lets out a soft moan. Once I am sure she is set down comfortably, I head over to the kitchen, following the sweet scent of the bacon. Once I enter I see that Shannon is awake and with coffee, while Tom is at the oven cooking up some bacon and omelets.
Shannon doesn't hear me come in, but Tom glances up from his work, "Morning Mate, you sleep alright last night?" he says, looking back down at the food. Shannon quickly turns around, sees it is me and smiles, "Morning Rhydian."
"Morning, and yes Tom I believe I slept wonderfully last night, Thank you." Shannon looks down to hide her smile. When they woke up they must of saw Maddy and I. I feel blood rushing to my face before I sit down next to Shannon and grab myself a cup of Coffee. "Maddy still not up yet?" Shannon ask, sipping another gulp of the coffee.
"Yah, I guess that is understandable though. With the attack and all..." After I say that last part, the room feels tense. "Ah well, I am sure she will me fine. Bacon?" Tom offers, trying to cheer me up. I take up the offer and grab a piece.
We all sat down and talked for a few minutes, before I heard I slight tumbling in the living room. Maddy's up. I think with a smirk. I get up from the small round table and head into the living room. I stop in the door and burst out laughing.
Soon Tom and Shannon joined me and saw what I was laughing at. Maddy was on her behind, previously trying to get up, blankets were discarded around the floor. I rush to help Maddy up, "Thanks Rhydian." She says with a slight grumble, still waking up.
Once I hand her the crutches, I lead her to the kitchen. When we enter, I see Maddy's face light up, inhaling the trail of bacon. She lets out a small growl, and her eyes are sparkling. I still remember when I came back from the wild, it took me a full WEEK for me to get used to all of the human greasy meat. I help her sit down at the table, once Tom hands her the plate of bacon she immediately digs into the dish of meat. I can't help, but let loose a laugh.
Once Maddy was filled, we talked about our plans for the day. After a minute discussion we all decided we need to go shopping. It is mid-winter and Maddy still has no clean clothes to wear that will fit. A groan escapes Maddy at the thought of shopping, but she agrees anyway.
Just when we were about to leave, the phone rang. We all glanced at it with concern. The Smiths have been gone for a year, who would be calling? None of us moved until Maddy waddles over to the phone. On the fifth ring, Maddy finally reaches the phone and answers. "Hello?" She says, uncertain who it is.
I hear a slight disturbance of a voice on the other end. I can't hear what they are saying, but Maddy is smiling. "Thank you," She says and she hangs up...
"Well?" I ask, concerned who it was.
Who was it on the phone? Why was Maddy smiling? Who knew that she was at the Smith Residence? Update Soon! :D
A/N: Sorry for short chapter, I had time in my study hall to type this up. But unfortunately that time is small, hope you enjoyed this tiny chapter!
