Chapter 2- Quality Family Time
Stepping off of the elevator Myiesha, Doc, and Dory headed towards their hotel room.
Readjusting Lambie in her arms Doc asked. "Mom, is Madeline going to be okay? I saw that she was a little scared when she cuddled with Lambie."
"Oh, Madeline is going to be just fine Doc." Myiesha replied.
"Will she ever get feeling back in her leg?" Doc questioned.
"Yes Doc, Madeline will get feeling back in her leg." Dory answered.
"Really?" Doc said.
"Yep. Do you remember my friend Jackson?" Dory asked and watched as Doc nodded her head. "Well he has a burn on his arm just like Madeline's and he sometimes loses feeling in it too but it always goes away after a while."
"Oh." Doc said a little surprised. "Okay."
Swiping the key card Myiesha opened the door and the three of them walked into the hotel room. Before them they were greeted by the sight of Marcus reading a book to Donny on the sofa.
Looking up from the book, Marcus said. "Hey, how did it go?"
"It went very well." Myiesha replied. "Both Doc and Dory were a big help."
"Did you help the girl Mom?" Donny asked.
Smiling, Myiesha nodded her head and said. "Yes Donny we helped the girl."
"What was wrong with her?" Donny asked curiously.
"Well the girl fell while her and her classmates were going for a walk and hurt her leg really bad." Myiesha explained. "Dr. Cohn wanted me to come and take a look at her to come up with the best way to make her leg feel better."
Donny smiled and said. "I'm glad you were able to make her feel better Mom."
"Me too." Marcus commented. "Hey girls, I made your sandwiches and placed them in the fridge for you."
"Thanks Dad." Dory said before turning to Donny. "Hey Donny, why don't you come with us into the kitchen. Then once we are done eating the three of us can play a game."
"Okay." Donny exclaimed as he jumped up from the sofa.
After the kids had left the room, Marcus smiled and patted the spot next to him and said. "Want to come sit and give me all the details?"
Sitting down, Myiesha explained. "Her name is Madeline and she is six years old. My friend Dr. Cohn had been called to look at and treat Madeline's knee that she had apparently injured when she fell while walking outside with her classmates and Headmistress."
"And is that what he called to ask you for your help on?" Marcus questioned.
"Not exactly." Myiesha replied. "He had actually called me to help figure out why Madeline's lower leg had gone completely numb when she had fallen."
"Her leg had gone numb?" Marcus stated in shock. "What could have caused it to do that?"
"Well according to Dr. Cohn, Madeline sustained a third degree burn on her left leg during a house fire two years ago." Myiesha elaborated. "And then Dory helped us realize that the burn is what caused her leg to go numb by reminding me of Jackson and how the third degree burn he has on his arm will cause his arm to go numb."
"Did she really? That's great." Marcus commented with a smile. "I'm happy that Dory was able to help you."
"Doc helped me too." Myiesha added. "She talked with Madeline after I checked Madeline's leg, and she let Madeline cuddle with Lambie before we left."
"Really?" Marcus said in surprise. "Well, Lambie's cuddles are good at helping people feel better."
"Yes they are." Myiesha said with a soft laugh.
In the kitchen, the kids sat around the table with Old Maid cards in hand.
"So what was the school like?" Donny asked while taking one of Doc's cards.
"The school was okay." Doc said while shrugging her shoulders.
"What did it look like?" Donny asked.
"It was a large house that was covered in vines." Dory explained as she set down her newest pair.
"Cool." Donny said while grabbing another card. "And what about the students, were there lots of students?"
"There are only twelve of them." Doc stated. "And they are all girls."
"Why aren't there any boys at the school?" Donny questioned.
"Because Miss Clavel's school is only for girls, Donny." Dory stated simply.
"Aw man, a school with no boys don't sound like any fun." Donny said with a frown.
"That's just how it is Donny." Doc said while setting down another pair.
Silence filled the kitchen as the game continued. The cards in their hands became fewer and fewer until Dory groaned in annoyance at the last card she held in her hand. Hearing their sister groan, Doc and Donny cheered with joy at beating Dory at Old Maid.
Later that evening, after everyone had finished eating their dinner Myiesha turned to Marcus as he stood at the counter with Dory, and said. "I think I am going to call Dr. Cohn and see if he knows how Madeline is doing."
"Okay Sweetie." Marcus said as he handed Dory a container of leftover food. "After Dory and I finish with the food we are going to play a board game with Doc and Donny."
"We can save you a seat at the table if you'd like Mom." Dory offered.
"Thanks Honey, that's very sweet of you." Myiesha replied with a smile. "I'll come join you as soon as I get off the phone. It shouldn't take me too long."
Walking into the master bedroom, Myiesha grabbed her cell phone and sat on the bed as she selected Dr. Cohn's number from her contact list.
After three rings, a voice drifted through the speaker. "Dr. Allen Cohn."
"Hey Allen, it's Myiesha." Myiesha replied.
"Hello Myiesha." Dr. Cohn answered cheerfully. "To what do I owe this unexpected phone call?"
Moving around on the bed, Myiesha said. "I just wanted to check in on how Madeline is doing. Did she get the feeling back in her leg?"
A sigh was heard on the other end of the phone as Dr. Cohn said. "Madeline is doing very well. According to Miss Clavel, Madeline regained the feeling in her leg about two hours after you, your daughters, and myself left."
"That's good to hear."Myiesha said heaving a sigh of relief.
"There is something else Myiesha." Dr. Cohn added. "Miss Clavel said that Madeline was curious about why her leg went numb. Since I don't have much experience with this I was wondering if you would be able to return to the school to speak with Miss Clavel and Madeline about it?"
"Of course I can return to the school to talk to Miss Clavel and Madeline." Myiesha replied. "When would be a good time for me to come talk with them?"
"Would 9 am tomorrow be alright with you?" Dr. Cohn responded. "Miss Clavel wishes for you to come as soon as you possibly can."
"Hmm...that should be fine Allen." Myiesha said. "And if it's alright with Miss Clavel, I might bring Dory and Doc along with me again."
"Miss Clavel shouldn't mind that Myiesha. I will call her and let her know that your daughters will be joining you." Dr. Cohn said. "And thank you for doing this Myiesha."
Myiesha laughed softly as she said. "You are welcome Allen. Good bye."
Ending the phone call Myiesha slipped her cell phone back into her back pocket before leaving the bedroom. As she made her way back to the kitchen the sounds of her children's laughter filled the air. Walking into the kitchen Myiesha smiled at the sight of Marcus and the kids seated around the table playing a game of SORRY.
Looking up from the board game, Dory said. "Mom, come sit over here next to me."
"Okay." Myiesha said as she made her way around the table. "So who is winning?"
"Me!" Dory said with a huge smile on her face.
"I see that Dory." Myiesha said as she glanced down at the board game. "But it looks like Doc is close to catching up to you."
"That's alright. Us McStuffins sisters have to stick together." Dory said while holding her hand up for Doc to high-five. "Right Doc?"
"That's right." Doc replied with a smile while returning the high-five.
"Hey!" Donny exclaimed. "I cant still beat you both."
Doc and Dory both giggled as Dory said. "I don't know about that Dory, but you might finish in second."
"We'll just see about that." Donny said competitively.
Giving his head a small shake, Marcus said. "Now Donny, remember that this is just for fun. It doesn't matter who wins or loses."
"Dad, we were just kidding. Donny knows that it's just a game." Dory explained while watching Donny take his turn.
"Okay Dorothy." Marcus replied as he picked up a card from the middle of the board.
The rest of the game was played in relative silence with only a few words shared between Dory, Doc, and Donny. Ten minutes passed before Dory cheered with joy at finally getting all of her game pieces home first.
"That was fun Dad." Doc said as she picked up her game pieces from around the board.
"It was lots of fun." Donny exclaimed. "Can we play it again tomorrow night? Please...please."
"Sure kiddo, we can play tomorrow night." Marcus said as he placed the top on the game board box. "As for right now, it's time for you three to get ready for bed."
"Okay Dad." Dory said before walking over to Doc and Donny. "Come on guys, let's go."
Once the kids were out of the room, Marcus turned to Myiesha and asked. "So how did your phone call with Dr. Cohn go?"
"It went really well. Madeline got the feeling back in her leg after the girls and I left the Old House." Myiesha explained. "However, Allen asked me to go back there tomorrow at around 9 am to talk with Miss Clavel and Madeline about why her leg went numb. I was going to see if Dory and Doc wanted to come with me again and then we can meet you and Donny at the Louvre afterwards."
"That sounds fine to me." Marcus said nodding his head. "And then after the museum maybe we can meet up with my parents for lunch."
"That sounds great Honey." Myiesha replied with a smile. "The kids will be so excited."
"I'll call Mom in the morning and let her know." Marcus said.
"Good idea." Myiesha said. "Right now we should go tell the kids good night before we head to bed ourselves."
"Right." Marcus said, nodding his head in agreement.
Making their way into the second bedroom Marcus and Myiesha both smiled at the sight that greeted them- Dory, Doc, and Donny were all changed and ready to get into bed. While Doc and Donny climbed into the room's two standard twin beds Dory climbed into the twin size roll-away bed that the hotel had provided for them.
Stepping over to Donny, Marcus pulled the covers up over top of Donny as he said. "Good night Donny."
"But Dad, do I have to go to sleep right now? I'm not even tirreeeddd..." Donny asked while stifling a yawn.
"Yep, I'm afraid so kiddo." Marcus said as he kissed Donny on the head. "Sleep tight."
"Night Dad." Donny said with a sleepy smile.
Over in the next bed, Myiesha got Doc settled under the covers and kissed her head as she said. "Good night Doc."
"Night Mom." Doc replied as she snuggled closer to Lambie and Stuffy.
After telling Donny good night, Myiesha walked over to Dory and kissed her on the top of her head and said. "Don't stay up too late reading."
"I won't." Dory promised. "Night Mom."
"Good night Dorothy." Myiesha replied.
Turning off the lights Myiesha and Marcus left the room. With the only source of light coming from Dory's book light, Doc and Donny drifted off to sleep.
