O for Optimistic

'Knock knock'

Johanna opened the door to find her daughter, son-in-law and grandson.

"Mum!" Dawn threw herself at her mother, and started crying again. Johanna hugged her back and winked at Paul, saying that she could fix her attitude problem

In the background, Paul sighed and ran his free hand through his hair, the other arm was holding Jake. The small child looked sad and apologetic towards his grandmother.

"Oh Mum! I'm so sorry!" Dawn cried again.

Johanna smiled softly. "What are you sorry for dear?"

"For Glameow! I know he was your starter Pokémon and that he's really sick!" Dawn replied, still staining her mother's shirt.

"Oh come on Dawn, you know him better than that. What happened to your optimistic personality?"

"I've been wondering about that as well. It's been missing for days," Paul commented.

Dawn had stopped crying for the moment and sniffed slightly before answering. "I don't know. One day it was here the next gone... Just like Glameow will be!" She started crying.

Paul put Jake on the ground and hugged Dawn, Jake tried to help his father by hugging her knees.

"Stop crying Mummy, your making me sad," Jake said.

"I'm sorry Jake." Dawn wiped her tears and bent down to him. "It's just that I've know Glameow for a very long time and he might not be around for much longer."

"I knowed, Daddy told me he was sick," Jake said innocently.

Dawn stood up again and faced her mother. "Please tell me that he's okay."

"He's okay," Johanna said cheerfully. "And no, I'm not lying. He just had a cold and wasn't getting enough vitamins," she explained.

Dawn looked at her stunned. "You mean he's fine? I've been worrying for nothing?"

Johanna nodded. "Yep."

Paul put a hand on Dawn's shoulder. "I told you there was no need to worry," he said using her old catchphrase.

Dawn blushed in embarrassment and looked down at a happy and smiling Jake. "You knew too, didn't you?"

Jake nodded and hugged her again. "I just wanted to see you happy!"

Dawn was going to pick up Jake before Paul stopped her and picked him up for her. Dawn pouted and Paul kissed her cheek to fix her attitude.

Johanna watched the inaction with amusement. "And I think I know where our optimistic Dawn went," she said in a way that made the younger couple blush.

"Yeah, that was the other purpose of this visit," Paul said.

Dawn's pregnant again if you can't tell.
