"Toast you need to understand..."

"But Mom, we've been doing it for years! How come this year we will not go?"

Amelia sighed as she continued to glance at her oldest son "Toast just this once... your Dad needs to take your brother to the hospital. He has been sick since the other day and he isn't getting any better..."

Just as she expected Toast only glared at her "He is not my brother!" he said "You might have adopted him but don't push me into liking him!"

"Toast..."

"Ever since he arrived here, all he did was get both of your attention! He always gets so sick, he bruises so easily! How come you never let him take care of himself!?" Toast crossed his arms "And now this year we won't be able to see grandma because of him! It's not like it's my fault that he got sick and yet I'm the one who has to compromise!"

"Amelia..."

Amelia turned around to see her husband holding their youngest up to his chest, Sykkuno isn't in the normal weight for a 5-year-old child so it was rather easy to carry him around especially when he is sick like how he is right now. "You can go to your grandma with Toast, I'll just take Sykkuno alone to his pediatrician..."

She sighed as she quietly approaches the two, "Will that be okay for you?" she softly asked placing her hand on Sykkuno's forehead, she frowned "He is still burning up..."

Her husband just smiled at her "I'll just update you when we get to the doctor..." he said "I'm sure it's just cold, you know how he is during cold seasons right?"

She smiled at him, "Yeah..." she said placing a soft kiss on her youngest child "Feel better Sykkuno okay?" she softly whispered into the sleeping boy.

She then turned her attention to Toast who is looking unpleased at the events unfolding in front of him "Come on Toast, we still need to pack your things so we can go to grandma's"

That made Toast perk up "We are going...?" he asked

Amelia ruffled his hair "Yes, just the two of us." She said smiling at her seven year old child "You don't mind that do you? Just the two of us, we could do all you want okay?"

Toast hummed before nodding happily "That's fine with me!" he happily said "I'll go and pack now!" with that Toast run upstairs.

Amelia took one last glance at her husband and Sykkuno "I love you... make sure he gets better okay?"

Her husband softly chuckled, as he adjusted Sykkuno into his arms "I love you too..." he softly said smiling as he did "Don't worry, Sykkuno will be in good hands..."

...

It took Toast by surprise when just as he finished packing his necessary things, a soft knock came into his room. And without any prompt, his Dad opened the door "You done with packing Toast?"

Toast looked at him, "I just need my shoes and I'll be good to go." He said

His Dad smiled at him as he entered the room, sitting on his bed making Toast even more confused "Toast..."

Toast groaned already knowing that tone that his Dad uses "Is this about Sykkuno again?" he asked "Come on Dad..."

"Toast I know you don't like your brother-"
