---------------------------------------------------------
The clouds were dark and heavy over The Carrigmore Home for the Disabled as the sound of a wheelchair moved down the hallway and Michael Connolly, who had cerebral palsy which made it hard to move around or talk, looked around trying to find someone.
He was looking for his new friend, Rory O'Shea.
Rory had only been at Carrigmore for ten days and had caused some problems not only for Michael but the rest of the staff. They had become quick friends and Michael wondered where Rory was.
The wheelchair moved down the hallway when he came to the shower room and looked inside. He moved the wheelchair along when he saw someone sitting in front of the mirror and didn't look happy.
----------------------------------------
Rory O'Shea was not happy.
He looked at his reflection as his bleached blonde hair sat puffy and straight on his head and his dazzling blue eyes were angry.
He didn't want to be in Carrigmore.
He wanted to be outside in the real world.
With his own flat.
Being able to do whatever he wanted.
But suffering from Duchene's muscular dystrophy gave him movement of only two fingers of his right hand, some movement to his head and a short life span.
Rory sighed when he saw Michael coming up behind him and he softly smiled.
Michael wasn't his first choice of a friend but he was the only one Rory deemed worthy of his friendship.
" You trying to sneak up on me? ", Rory asked and Michael stopped the wheelchair next to his.
" No. ", Michael mumbled, " I was looking for you. ".
" What do you want? ", Rory asked.
" Nothing. ", Michael mumbled, " Why did you have your shower now? ".
" Got a doctor's appointment this morning. ", Rory said.
" Are you sick? ", Michael asked.
" Nah! They just have to update my file. I hate it. All the poking and prodding. ", Rory said as he scowled and Michael nodded.
" I hate it when they take blood out. ", Michael mumbled.
" Me, too. Thing is, I don't want to see him looking like this! ", Rory said looking at his hair and Michael looked at the jar of hair gel jar in the bag on the back of Rory's wheelchair.
" I can do it for you. Like last time. ", Michael mumbled and Rory smiled.
" Ok. ", Rory said as Michael reached into the bag and placed the jar in the sink. He had gotten the lid off as he dipped his fingers into the gel then looked at Rory's hair.
" Remember to do the back first. ", Rory said and Michael nodded.
" What are you doing!? ", the voice shouted when Michael looked over and Annie, the head nurse, stood in the doorway.
" Fixing Rory's hair. ", Michael mumbled as Annie walked closer and Rory smiled.
" He's fixing my hair since you didn't. " Rory said and Annie sighed.
" We don't have time for this! ", Annie said when she closed the jar, placed it back in the bag then washed off Michael's hands, " Breakfast is ready! Move! ".
Michael shrugged as Rory growled and Annie led them out of the shower room.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The dining hall was crowded as Rory and Michael came inside and Rory looked at the tables. The tables were end to end as the other residents sat there and the aides helped them get ready to eat. Rory found a spot as Michael followed and parked the wheelchair to Rory's right. Rory could see the window as the sky grew darker and saw a flash of lightning.
" Looks like we're going to have a storm. ", Rory said and Michael looked at the dark sky outside the window, " Wonder what we're going to have for breakfast. Bet it's dry cereal, dry toast, fruit cup and milk again. ".
" It always is. ", Michael mumbled and Rory sighed.
" Fuck. Just once I'd like REAL FOOD for breakfast! ", Rory nearly shouted and Michael looked at him, " What, if you could, would you have? ".
" Um, scrambled eggs. ", Michael mumbled.
" Scrambled eggs and what? ", Rory asked.
" Sausages. Toast and cherry jelly. Orange juice. Milk. ", Michael mumbled smiling and Rory looked at him.
" All that!? Me? I'd have scrambled eggs, pancakes smothered in maple syrup and butter, sausages and coffee. ", Rory said and Michael frowned.
" What's coffee!? ", Michael asked and Rory's eyes went wide.
" You never had coffee? ", Rory asked stunned and Michael shook his head, " Fuck. You know what? The last place I was at, they had a variety of stuff for breakfast. Not this slop! I mean pancakes, eggs, sausges, the works! ".
Michael sighed when Annie brought over the food and Rory looked at the cold cereal in the bowl, the fruit cup, the glass of milk and the plate with the dry toast in front of him. Michael looked at the food in front of him when they looked at each other and Annie poured the milk.
" Do you want me to help you, Michael? ", Annie asked when Michael pushed the bowl of cereal away from him then the plate with the dry toast on it.
" I don't want that! ", Michael mumbled and Annie looked at him.
" Pardon? ", Annie asked.
" He said he doesn't want that. ", Rory said and Annie looked at Michael.
" Michael, you have to eat. ", Annie said as she moved the food back and Michael pushed the dishes away from him.
" No! I don't want it! ", Michael shouted and Annie gasped.
" Michael! That will be enough! Eat! ", Annie said with a firm tone and Michael shook his head.
" I don't want to eat this slop either. ", Rory said and she looked at him.
" Don't you start! Michael!? Please! You have to eat! ", Annie said.
" NO! ", Michael shouted when he slammed his left hand down and the bowl of cereal tipped over and the milk and cereal splashed into the air and into Michael's face then his lap.
" Michael!? ", Annie shouted as Rory smiled and Michael looked down at the mess in his lap.
Annie wheeled Michael out of the dining hall as Rory looked at the others then growled and his eyes went into tight slits.
" What the fuck are you looking at!? ", Rory asked when the aide came over and he sighed knowing he'd have to eat the food. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clouds were darker outside as the rain fell and the wind moaned behind the glass. The wheelchair moved along as Rory headed down the hallway and looked angry.
The doctor had checked every inch of him and had taken blood and Rory was in a mean mood.
He heard some thunder as he flicked the switch with his right thumb and looked for Michael. Annie had told him that she had taken Michael back to his room and Rory stopped the wheelchair in front of the doorway to Michael's room.
Michael sat looking out the window when Rory sighed and felt bad.
He was the one that talked about better food and got Michael in trouble.
Rory might be self centered sometimes but he never liked hurting a friend, if he could help it, and this was one time he regretted doing it.
" You ok? ", Rory asked when Michael turned the wheelchair around looking at him.
" Yeah. ", Michael sighed.
" What happened? ", Rory asked.
" Annie brought me another breakfast and made me eat it. ", Michael mumbled.
" Sorry about that. ", Rory said and Michael smiled.
" That's ok. ", Michael mumbled.
" Well, lets go find something to do. ", Rory said then saw Michael frown, " What? ".
" I can't leave the room. I'm being punished. ", Michael mumbled and Rory got angry.
" That's crap! ", Rory said and Michael sighed, " Well, what can we do in here? ".
Rory looked around when he noticed the television and blinked.
" I didn't know you had a tv. ", Rory said.
" It was in here when I got here. They let me keep it. ", Michael mumbled.
" Well, lets see what's on ", Rory said.
" I can't watch tv. ", Michael mumbled and Rory smiled.
" Well, you might not be allowed but I can. Turn it on. ", Rory said and Michael looked at him, " What!? I don't want to watch that mindless stuff in the main room. ".
Michael thought then moved the wheelchair to the television and turned it on. They looked at the picture as the static flickered on the screen and Rory frowned.
" That's the same channel. ", Rory said and Michael changed the channel, " News? ".
" Nah. ", Michael mumbled and changed the channel.
" Game show? Nah! Do you have cable? ", Rory asked.
" No. ", Michael mumbled and changed the channel and they looked at the soap opera and the couple were having sex.
" Whoa! ", Rory said as Michael nodded and they watched the television.
" What is going on in here!? ", Annie shouted from the doorway as they looked at her and she walked closer turning the television off, " Michael, you know that you are being punished! Rory!? Get out of here! ".
Rory growled leaving the room as the wheelchair moved down the hallway then around the corner nearly crashing into someone.
" Rory!? Watch where you're going! ", Erin Flynn said.
Erin Flynn was the night nurse and she had long red hair and pretty green eyes
She had only been at Carrigmore for two days and both Michael and Rory liked her.
She wasn't like the other old bitches.
" Sorry, Erin, I was in a hurry. Got an injustice to stop! ", Rory said and Erin stood in front of the wheelchair.
" What are you talking about? ", Erin asked, " And what happened to your hair? ".
" Annie didn't have time to do it this morning. Had a doctor's appointment. Updating my file. What are you doing here, by the way? ", Rory asked.
" Someone called off and they asked me to come in. ", Erin said.
" You going to be here tonight? ", Rory asked.
" Yeah. They're making me to a double shift. ", Erin sighed.
" Fuck. Anyway, Michael and I were in the dining hall and talking about the slop we have for breakfast. I asked him what he wanted then I told him what I wanted then..... ", Rory said.
" What did you two want? ", Erin asked.
" .....He wanted scrambled eggs, sausages, toast and cherry jelly, orange juice and milk. I wanted scrambled eggs, pancakes smothered in maple syrup and butter, sausages and coffee. Annie wanted us to eat but Michael didn't want to. He hit the bowl of cereal in front of him sending it skyward. She took him to his room and, now, he can't come out. It's an injustice, I tell you! Punishing someone for not wanting to eat that crap! ", Rory said and Erin smiled.
" Rory, calm down. He isn't going to be in there all day. Maybe until lunch. ", Erin said as he frowned and she brushed the hair from his eyes, " Lets go fix your hair. ".
" And you can put in my nose ring, too. ", Rory said and she blinked.
" What nose ring? ", Erin asked.
" The one in my room. ", Rory said giving her his bad boy smile and she frowned.
" I didn't know you had one. Ok, after we fix your hair, I'll put it in for you. ", Erin said.
Rory smiled as they went to the shower room and the sky grew dark and the rain fell harder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was nearly black as the thunder rumbled and the lighting flashed. The rain fell harder as the hail hit the ground and the wind rattled the windows.
Rory sat at the table in the dining hall when Erin brought over the bowl of soup, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a glass of juice and he looked at it.
" Oh, nice, soup again. ", Rory whispered and Erin gently smacked the back of his head.
" Just eat. ", Erin said when Michael came inside the dining hall then stopped near them, " Hello Michael. ".
" Hello. What are you doing here? ", Michael mumbled and Erin looked at Rory.
She didn't understand half of what Michael said and Rory smiled.
" He asked what you're doing here. ", Rory said.
" Oh. I'm doing a double shift because someone called off. Heard you got into a bit of trouble this morning. ", Erin said and Michael nodded, " Well, come and have lunch. ".
Michael looked at the food then started eating and Erin helped Rory eat.
" Just once, I'd like pizza for lunch. With pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and green peppers. ", Rory whispered and Erin looked at him.
" Lets not start that again. ", Erin whispered and Rory softly laughed.
They finished lunch as the rain fell harder and the lights flickered in the dining hall.
" Uh-oh. ", Michael mumbled as they watched the aides calm down some of the others and the thunder rumbled in the room.
" The storm's getting worse. ", Erin said.
" Well, what are we going to do now? ", Rory asked.
" Well, when it's rainy, I like to cuddle up with a good book. ", Erin said as they headed out of the dining hall and down the hallway.
" Do we have any books? ", Rory asked.
" Lets go look. ", Erin said as they went inside the main hall and the thunder roared outside and the lights flickered on and off. They headed for the bookcase when they noticed that most of the books were children's books and Rory frowned.
" You have to be kidding! " Uncle Puddle Duck Goes To The Zoo. "?! I read that when I was four! ", Rory said and Michael smiled.
" I like Uncle Puddle Duck. ", Michael mumbled and Rory rolled his eyes.
Why am I not surprised?, Rory thought.
Rory looked at the selection of books when he saw something and he looked at Erin.
" Hold it. Those aren't children's books. ", Rory said and she looked at the books he was looking at.
" Yes, they are. ", Erin said.
" They are!? I read the whole series last year. Well, seeing that there's nothing else here, can you give me that one? ", Rory asked.
" This one? ", Erin asked.
" No. That one. It's the first one. Most think the one with the witch in it is the first one but it's not. ", Rory said as she took the book off the shelf and looked at it.
" Want me to hold the book? ", Erin asked.
" If you want. What do you want to read, Michael? ", Rory asked and Michael looked at the book.
" That one. ", Michael mumbled and Rory looked at the book.
" You sure? ", Rory asked.
" Yes. ", Michael mumbled.
" It's not that easy to read. ", Rory said and Erin got an idea.
" Why don't you read it to him? ", Erin asked and Rory saw that Michael wanted him to.
" Ok. You hold the book then, Michael. ", Rory said as they found a spot next to a lamp and Erin handed the book to Michael. Michael held the book when Rory started reading and Erin smiled at them.
" I'm going to check on the others. Be back in a bit. ", Erin said then left and Michael turned the page.
" Ok, your turn. ", Rory said and Michael looked at him.
" What? ", Michael asked.
" Your turn to read. You can read, right? ", Rory asked.
" A little bit. ", Michael mumbled.
" Then go on. Just sound out the words you can't. ", Rory said and Michael looked at the page. He sighed then started reading and Rory smiled.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was black as the lightning flared outside the windows and the rain coated the glass. The thunder roared as the aides went about calming down those that were upset and the lights flickered and dimmed around them.
Rory and Michael took turns reading when Erin walked closer and smiled. She was impressed that Rory was letting Michael read when she stopped in front of them and tapped Michael's head making him look up.
" So, how's it going? ", Erin asked and Rory looked at her.
" We're doing fine. ", Rory said and Michael nodded.
" Well, dinner's almost ready. Lets go. ", Erin said and Michael frowned looking down.
" But, I want to finish the book. ", Michael mumbled.
" Pardon? ", Erin asked.
" He said he wants to finish reading the book. We'll finish after dinner, ok?. Fold the page corner down so we don't lose our place. ", Rory said and Michael folded the page in half closing the book. He placed the book in his lap when they headed for the dining hall and the thunder roared louder.
" Fuck. Is it going to do that all night? ", Rory asked as they came into the dining hall and saw the lighting flaring outside.
" Looks like. The weather reports says it's going to get really bad. ", Erin said as they came to the table and Rory looked out the window. The lighting flashed in his eyes as the thunder crashed and those in the room started yelling and screaming. The aides went to calm them down when Annie came closer and placed the plate in front of them.
" Now, I want you to eat all of it. ", Annie said as she looked from Rory to Michael and both of them looked at the skinless plain chicken breast, cut into cubes, the plain mashed potatoes and spinach on the plate and glass of juice.
" Need some help, Michael? ", Erin asked and he shook his head.
Erin started feeding Rory when he looked at her and sighed.
" Haven't they heard of seasoning? ", Rory whispered and she hushed him.
Erin fed him when something warm and soft hit his left ear and Erin gasped. Mashed potatoes oozed down his face and neck as she looked at the young woman sitting in the wheelchair next to Rory and she giggled.
" Cathy!? No! ", Erin said as she wiped Rory off and Rory leered at Cathy.
Erin went back to feeding Rory when Cathy flung the mashed potatoes at him again and the mashed potatoes hit his hair.
" Cathy!? ", Erin gasped as Cathy giggled and Rory was getting mad.
Erin cleaned him off as he looked out the window and the storm was echoing his mood. Erin started feeding him when he glanced over at Cathy as she was reloading the fork.
" Do that again and I will have Erin shove that bloody fork up your arse so far they need a miner's hat to find it! ", Rory yelled and Cathy's lip quivered. Cathy started crying when Annie walked over and tried to calm her down.
" What is going on here!? ", Annie asked and Erin explained, " Well, Rory, that was not nice. ".
" Why are you mad at me!? I wasn't the one tossing mash at her! ", Rory shouted and Michael looked at Annie.
" Yeah! Cathy was doing it on purpose! ", Michael shouted and Annie looked at them.
" Erin, if they're finished, take Rory and Michael outside. ", Annie said as Erin nodded and took them out of the dining hall.
" Wait a second! Why do we have to go!? ", Rory shouted.
" Just shut your gob and move! ", Erin said as they headed back to the main hall and the thunder crashed outside.
------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was pitch black as the lightning flared in a white light and the thunder shook the windows. The rain slammed against the glass as the hail fell and the wind moaned. The lights in the main hall dimmed and flickered as the aides calmed down those upset and Michael read the page. He was sounding out the words and impressed himself with how many he got right and Rory smiled at him.
The storm raged as they read when the sky was lit up with a bright flash of white light, a loud bang filled the room and the lights went out leaving them in the dark. Rory and Michael's ears rang as Rory's heart bumped hard in his chest and he opened and closed his mouth trying to pop his ears.
" Rory!? ", Michael shouted when Rory's ears popped and could see him between lightning flashes.
" I'm ok. You ok? ", Rory asked.
" My ears are ringing. ", Michael mumbled and Rory smiled.
" Mine, too. Looks like the lights went out. ", Rory said as the others in the main hall were screaming and yelling and Rory looked around, " Looks like the others are freaking out. Bunch of babies. ".
They sat there as the lights from the flashlights broke the darkness and the aides came in to calm the others down.
" Rory!? Michael!? ", Erin asked when she flashed the light at them and both blinked as she came closer, " There you are! You two all right? ".
" Yeah. ", Rory said.
" Yes. ", Michael mumbled.
" What happened? ", Rory asked.
" The lightning hit the front yard and turned the power off. The thunder blew out a good bit of the windows. We're cleaning up now but we have to get you into your rooms. ", Erin said when Michael looked down and frowned.
" I lost the book. ", Michael mumbled and Rory looked at him.
" You lost the book? ", Rory asked.
" Yes. ", Michael mumbled and Erin shined the light around. The book had landed behind Michael's wheelchair when she picked it up and placed it in Michael's lap.
" Well, we'll finish it tomorrow. ", Rory said and an intern, named James, came over holding a flashlight in his hand.
Rory could see him in between the lighting flashes and blinked.
If he could stand, Rory and James would be the same height and build.
James' dark brown hair was short and the bangs were brushed to the sides and the lightning lit up his dazzling blue eyes.
He had boyish features and Rory frowned.
This guy's an intern!? He looks like a kid!, Rory thought when Erin and James came closer and led the wheelchairs out of the main hall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lightning flared as the thunder crashed around them and the flashlights lit the way. James opened the door to the bedroom as Erin wheeled Michael inside and towards his bed. She helped get him into the pajamas when she placed Michael under the blankets and smiled at him.
" I don't want to go to bed. ", Michael mumbled and she blinked.
" He doesn't want to go to bed. ", Rory said from the doorway and she smiled brushing the hair from Michael's eyes.
" What do you want to do? ", Erin asked.
" I want to finish the book. ", Michael mumbled.
" He wants to finish the book. ", Rory said.
" In the dark!? Please, Michael, just try. ", Erin said and Michael sighed then nodded. Erin smiled then left the room closing the door and James stood behind Rory's wheelchair and Rory looked at her.
" So, how are you going to get me to bed? The lift chair doesn't work. ", Rory said.
" That's what she has me for. ", James said with a Scottish accent.
" You!? You think you can lift me? ", Rory asked and James smiled.
" I'm stronger then I look. Besides, you don't look that heavy. ", James said.
" Cheeky arsehole. ", Rory said and James laughed.
" All right, you two, move! ", Erin said when they went into Rory's room and headed for the bed. Erin got Rory ready for bed when James carefully lifted him up and placed Rory on the bed. Erin covered Rory with the blankets as the thunder roared louder outside and the lightning lit up the room.
" Now, go to sleep. ", Erin whispered when Rory sighed then heard a low dripping sound.
" What's that? ", Rory asked.
" What's what? ", Erin asked.
" That dripping noise. ", Rory said and James shined the light toward the window. He walked closer when he saw the large crack and the water dribbled down the glass to the windowsill.
" The window's cracked. ", James said as Erin walked closer and saw the water.
" Oh nice. ", Erin said.
" I'll go tell Annie. ", James said when he left the room and Erin looked at Rory.
" Great. I'm going to have to listen to that all night!? ", Rory sighed and Erin shrugged.
" I guess. ", Erin said then looked at the bed. She noticed the wheels when James came back with a pan and she looked at him.
" Annie said to use this until morning. ", James said and Rory rolled his eyes.
" Wonderful. I'm going to go nuts! ", Rory said and Erin smiled..
" There are wheels on the bed. We could put you in the hallway. ", Erin said.
" Can't do that. It's a safety hazard. ", James said.
" I got an idea! ", Erin said and they looked at her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael watched the lightning flashing in the room as the thunder roared around him and he shook. He didn't want to admit that he was scared, not in front of Rory, as he sighed then heard the door open.
" Watch it! ", Rory said as Michael blinked and Erin hushed Rory.
" Rory? ", Michael asked as he watched them between lightning flashes and tried to sit up.
" It's all right, Michael, we're just moving Rory in here. ", Erin said as she helped him sit up and he watched them placing Rory's bed near his.
" What's going on? ", Michael asked and Rory smiled.
" The window is broken in my room, so, they're bunking me in here with you. ", Rory said and Erin helped Michael lay back down.
" Now, go to sleep, you two! No talking all night! ", Erin teased as they left the room while Michael laid on his right side and Rory looked at the ceiling.
" Rory? ", Michael asked.
" What? ", Rory asked.
" I'm glad you're in here. ", Michael mumbled.
" Scared, were you? ", Rory asked smiling.
" Yeah. ", Michael mumbled.
" Well, truth is, I was scared, too. ", Rory said watching the lightning flashing and the thunder made him jump a bit.
" You get scared? ", Michael asked.
" Sure! ", Rory said and Michael smiled, " Now, lets try to get some sleep. ".
" I wish we could have finished the book. ", Michael mumbled.
" I told you that we can tomorrow. ", Rory said.
" They'll take it away. I can only read Uncle Puddle Duck books. ", Michael sighed.
" Why!? ", Rory asked.
" Annie will say a book like that is too scary for me. ", Michael mumbled.
" Were you scared? ", Rory asked.
" No. ", Michael mumbled.
" Then we'll just have to read it somewhere she can't find us. ", Rory said and Michael smiled.
" Can we read the whole series? ", Michael asked.
" Sure! ", Rory said then thought, " Michael? ".
" What? ", Michael asked.
" You read really well. " Rory said closing his eyes and Michael smiled. The thunder roared around them as they drifted to sleep and the rain tacked against the glass.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sunlight shimmered on the glass as the clouds moved by and the burned grass smoldered where the lighting hit.
Rory felt someone touching his hair when he opened his eyes and Erin was standing to his right.
" Good morning Blue Eyes. ", Erin said smiling and Rory smiled back, " You sleep ok? ".
" Yeah. Why are you still here? ", Rory asked.
" I'm going home soon. ", Erin said
" Michael up yet? ", Rory asked.
" Not yet. ", Erin said when she walked to the bed and gently shook Michael. Michael opened his eyes as he looked up at her and she smiled at him, " Morning Sleepyhead. ".
" Good morning. ", Michael mumbled and she helped him sit up.
" So, what now? ", Rory asked.
" Well, we have no power. They turned the gas and water off. Nearly all the windows were cracked or busted out. The repair people, gas people and electrical people are coming some time today. ", Erin said.
" Meaning we're stuck in bed? ", Rory asked.
" No. ", Erin said when the intern came inside and they got Michael and Rory up. They came to the dining hall when Rory saw the others and frowned.
" Another boring meal.", Rory sighed when Erin looked down then looked at the intern.
" Tell Annie that Rory and Michael aren't feeling well and will take their meal in their rooms, ok? ", Erin said and the intern looked at her. He nodded as they looked at her and she hushed them, " Come on. ".
They followed her as they headed for the main hall and headed for a table. Sitting on the table was a paper bag and they looked at it.
" What's going on? ", Rory asked.
" Before he went home, they sent James on a food run to the small place down the road and I gave him a breakfast order. ", Erin said as they came closer and she opened the paper bag, " So, who wanted the coffee? ".
" I did! ", Rory said when she took out the plastic cup, wrapped in insolated paper, out and took the lid off. Rory smelt the coffee as he smiled and she took the plastic box out.
" And you wanted the scrambled eggs, pancakes smothered in maple syrup and butter, sausages? ", Erin asked and opened the lid. The pancakes and sausages were cut into small chunks and Rory smiled.
" Fuck! ", Rory said and she gently patted his head then looked at Michael.
" Now, Michael, you wanted scrambled eggs, sausages, toast and cherry jelly, orange juice and milk, right? ", Erin asked and placed the plastic glasses of milk and orange juice in front of him.
" Yes! ", Michael mumbled when she opened the lid of the plastic box and he looked down.
" They were out of cherry. Grape ok? ", Erin asked.
" Yes! Yes! Yes! ", Michael mumbled as she placed the straw in the glasses and he picked the toast up eating it.
" So, how come you're doing this for us? ", Rory asked as she placed a fork full of sausage in his mouth and he ate.
" Because I wanted to spoil my two favorite guys. ", Erin said blushing and Rory swallowed then laughed.
" So, we had to eat this in here because, if they saw all this good food, they'd be on us like sharks! ", Rory said and Michael smiled.
" You got it! ", Erin said as she fed Rory and the sunlight shined brightly outside the window.

THE END.......
