Mama was crying into her hands and papa had silent tears running down his face, they'd just come back from the hospital but Nicky wasn't with them. Why did they leave him at the hospital?!
I walked up to mama and hugged her "Where's Nicky mummy?!"
She looked up at me and tried to smile but mama can't smile when she's sad.
"Hey baby girl umm... Nicky, he's uhh, he's not feeling well and he had to stay at the doctor and he might not be coming back home.." Her voice broke off and she started crying again.
That's when papa came and picked me up, he took me out the back to sit on the swings.
He sat me on his lap like always and rocked gently and started talking in s soft voice
" Emmy baby you know in the stories how sometimes a person goes to heaven ?! Like when Cinderella's daddy went away and went to heaven?!"
I giggled at him trying to simplify the story " I know papa her daddy passed away that's what Ms Marie said its called, ya know going to heaven its called passing away. And I know Nana also went to heaven last year." All I knew is that Nana is in a nicer place now or that's what I was told. Papa smiled softly down at me and a tear ran down his face and I wiped it with my small hand. "I keep forgetting you're a big girl now and you understand more" he whispered I think he was talking to himself and not to me. But before I could say anything he spoke again, "Princess Nicky is sick and he needs expensive medicine to make him better but we can't pay for it and," he stopped and dragged in a deep breath "baby girl Nicky isn't coming home because he's very sick and with out a miracle to save him soon he is going to be going to a better place but it's okay because he's gonna be with Nana.." But I didn't let him finish, I screamed at him to stop, to stop lying to me because Nicky was gonna come home today he has to, and he's only seventeen he's still a kid and kids don't go to heaven only old people do, but papa tried to calm me down saying it'll be okay and we can go visit him and stay with him until it's time for him to go.
"NOOOO stop it!! Nicky is okay, he's okay you promised he'd be okay, and he promised me he's gonna be better." I was screaming so loud so far gone that I hadn't noticed that mama was there holding me saying it's gonna be okay over and over until I calmed down. But I didn't want to talk to anyone so I got up and said I was going to my room to make a get well soon card for Nicky, I knew that would stop them from following me.
I walked up the stairs to my room and put on my cardigan and picked up my Pascal (the lizard from tangled) shaped piggy bank and walked back down again, I made sure no one saw me as I snuck out side and walked down the street, I knew where I was going; mama took me with her all the time there. After about five minutes I make it.
A bell chimes as I walk into the pharmacy, I look around the isles but I don't find what I want so I walk up to the person standing behind the counter wearing a white jacket. He sees me coming and comes out from behind the counter and leans down to me level
"Hello young lady how may I help you today?" He asks I hold out my piggy bank to him," I would like to buy a miracle please" I feel tears coming back to my eyes the same time his eyes widen "Oh, umm.. Where are your parents darling ?!" He asks
I start to cry again "Please I need to buy a miracle please, my brother is sick, and he needs a miracle like in the stories people get saved by miracles please" the man doesn't say anything but another man leans down behind me and taps my shoulder so I turn to look at him and he smiles at me "hello there I'm Eric what's your name?"
"I'm Emily but you can call me Emmy"
He chuckles a bit and extends his hand and I shake it "Pleased to meet you Beautiful Emmy, I hear you're looking for a miracle am I right?"
I smile big through the tears "Yes you know where I can buy one?!"
"Well I can't get you a miracle but I'm a doctor and doctors try to fix people who are not doing so great, so I might be able to help your brother, so what do you say you take me to see your parents and I can talk to them?!"
I felt so happy at what he said, he can help Nicky! I took his hand and dragged him out and started walking back to the house when Mr Eric stopped me "My car is there" he said that's when I noticed a young boy was standing next to him, he looked a bit like Eric, but he was older that me but younger than Nicky maybe he was 12? I didn't really know. The boy was looking at me and I was looking back, Mr Eric must have noticed because he laughed and introduced us "Oh sorry, Emmy this is my son Micah." Micah smiled at me and leaned down putting his hand out I grabbed it wanting to shake it but instead he pulled it up to his lips and kissed the back, "pleased to meet you Princess Emmy" I giggled and did a little curtsy. But when Eric tried to move us to the car I pulled back. Eric frowned and looked at me "Emmy what's wrong ?!"
"Mama said to never get in the car with anyone, I know you want to help Nicky but.." Before I could say anything else he chuckled again and stopped me locked the car and took my hand and looked towards his son,"you mind walking a bit?!"
"No not at all" answered Micah
They both turned to me and Eric said"lead the way Emmy!"

We walked all the way back to my house and before I could get to the door mama opened it and came out running but stopped when she saw me and ran to me "Oh my god where did you go?! We were so worried about you!! Don't you ever do that again." She was hugging me, and shaking my at the same time while crying, "Sorry mama." I said while hanging my head down
I knew what I did was wrong and I shouldn't have left like that but I had to. "it's okay baby." She said, I heard someone clear their throat behind me and mama looked up to see Eric standing there,"Hello sorry, my name is Eric Rain, I'm a neurosurgeon at West Mercy hospital, Emmy walked into the pharmacy down the road and said her brother was sick I'm not sure what the problem is but she said she wanted to buy a miracle so o guessed he was pretty ill, so I thought I'd take a look, oh and," he takes out a card from his jacket pocket and gives it to my mum, who looks like she's seen a ghost "that's my card and you can call the hospital to check I work there." He stands there awkwardly and look back at mama and pull her hand to make her say something, she seems to snap out of it and looks down at me and then looks up at Eric, "umm yes, uhh.. Please come inside and we'll talk more, I think you might just be the miracle my daughter went looking for" she smiles at him and starts walking back to the house and we all follow her in. She introduced Mr Eric to dad and they go into the living room to talk about Nicky I want to go too but papa says it's only grown ups so Micah and I sit in the kitchen eating jelly beans and talking.
