"Do you want to help me cook lunch?"
"Yes ma'am." Saris spoke.
She was now in a way better mood. She and Serena had gone through all the photos and inserted them in the baby book. It was a special bonding time for them that definitely uplifted the mood in the house.
"Do you know anything about cooking?" Serena questioned as she began pulling things out of the cabinet and fridge.
"No my m-" she stopped, still getting used to everything.
"Saris, it's ok. It's going to happen sometimes. Okay?" Serena reassured Saris.
"Yes ma'am. But no, I don't know how to cook. I usually ate noodles or a sandwich when I was hungry."
Serena was excited as she felt like this was her time to shine. 'Finally.' she thought to herself.
Serena gave Saris thorough instructions as they cooked the small meal. Towards the end Saris noticed how little food there was and she was confused on how this would feed 7 people.
"Is this for everyone..." she trailed off seeing only two handfuls of brussel sprouts along with two slices of salmon.
"Oh no." Serena chuckled, "Sorry, I think the boys are going out soon and I was thinking you could go with them and bond." Serena saw the confusion in Saris's face and instantly dropped the smile, "Unless you don't want to. I can share my food with you." She slightly began to panic, rushing to get another plate.
"No, no I can go." Saris reassured.
Although she was unsure of how she would feel not going where she was going, but she seemed to be doing that a lot recently.
"Ma we're leaving!" Serena faintly heard from the front door.
"Aht aht, bring y'all behinds here."
Saris's face slightly frowned up since she thought everything was going smoothly so far.
"Ma'am?" Kourtney held a goofy grin.
"Y'all know how I feel about y'all leaving without properly saying bye."
The other boys followed in and began to hug Serena and give her a kiss on the cheek. Everyone was smiling and joking as they said their goodbyes.
She was joking?
Saris couldn't wrap her mind around this, but after talking to Serena she figured all it would take is time.
Jayceon entered the room and joined the conversation they all were having. Saris stood off to the side being left out, but not on purpose. She wasn't feeling negative at all either. She was taking a chance to observe their family dynamic and how she would fit in there.
