Last Chance

'Do you want this room Zoey? Then Sam can go to the other room.' Josh, Ginnifer and Zoey were in one of the bedrooms. Oliver and Hugo were playing in Oliver's room. 'I do not mind.' said Zoey. 'Beautiful. Then this will be your room.' Josh looked contentedly into the room. 'Let's start with everything. What color do you want on the wall?' asked Josh. 'Light gray.' replied Zoey. "Oh yes, that's true." Josh nodded. "Luckily we took it with us." said Ginnifer.

"Um, shouldn't we get everything out of here first so we can paint the walls?" asked Zoey. "Oh yes, that's smart, yes." Josh nodded. "Luckily, Colin and Sean are coming soon. They can help you nicely.' said Ginnifer. 'Who?' Curious, Zoey looked at the couple. 'Friends of ours. I told them about the rooms and they're happy to help.' said Josh.

The doorbell rang. "They'll be there already. I'll open for a while.' said Ginnifer. Ginnifer walked out of the room and Zoey was left with Josh. "We have to get everything out of here first. Otherwise the whole room will be grey.' said Josh. Zoey nodded. "Where do we leave the stuff?" she asked. 'Just put everything in Oliver's room for a moment. Then we'll move it somewhere else later.' said Josh. Zoey nodded and walked to Oliver's room with her overnight bag.

Oliver and Hugo were there playing together. 'What are you doing?' Curious, Oliver came to watch. 'I'll put my things here for a while. We're going to paint my room.' said Zoey. 'Fun! May I help?' asked Oliver. "Yes, I want to help too!" shouted Hugo. "You can help move the stuff." replied Zoey. Oliver and Hugo nodded and got to work.

'Good afternoon!' Two men came into the guest room. 'Sean! Colin!' Enthusiastically, Josh approached the two men and greeted them. 'Hey Josh. How's it going mate?' one of the men asked. 'Okay and with you? Guys, this is Zoey by the way." Josh stepped aside. Zoey looked shyly at the two men.

"Hi Zoey, I'm Colin." Colin introduced himself. "And I'm Sean." The other man introduced himself. "Zoey." Zoey whispered softly. 'Nice to meet you Zoey! Will this be your room?' asked Colin. Zoey nodded. "We're going to paint the room light gray." said Josh. 'Nice! Good choice.' Found Sean. 'Yes. And your sister? Where is she anyway?' Colin looked questioningly at Zoey and Josh.

"Sam isn't home right now. That is why we will now start with Zoey's room first, because then the paint can dry up overnight. Then we can do Sam's room tomorrow.' Josh explained. 'Fine! Let's get started then.' Said Sean. "Don't you want a drink first?" asked Josh. 'We'll do that later. Let's start painting first.' said Colin. 'Okay.'

Josh, Zoey, Colin and Sean set to work and soon the half mitten was painted a light gray. Zoey tried very hard and she was very happy with the wall in her new room. "Josh, come on." Ginnifer walked into the bedroom with her cell phone in her hand.

'What is it?' Josh walked over to his wife. "Sam didn't share her location with us. I've tried calling her a few times but she won't answer.' Ginnifer whispered softly. Josh sighed. 'Serious?' Josh looked at Ginnifer. 'Well. There's nothing we can do about it now. We'll talk to her when she gets home.' said Ginnifer. Josh nodded.

"We're almost done painting. Would you like to make some coffee already?' asked Josh. 'Of course! I'll see you soon.' Ginnifer gave Josh a kiss on the cheek and she walked away downstairs.

Josh, Zoey, Colin and Sean finished the rest of the wall and then they cleaned up. "Ginny made coffee downstairs." Said Josh. They all walked downstairs and in the living room Ginnifer was waiting on the couch.

'Hey guys. Did it work?' she asked. 'Yes! We'll come tomorrow to help with the furniture and Sam's room.' said Colin. "Ah great!" Ginnifer smiled. "It's only a small effort, though." Said Sean. 'Look. Here I have coffee for you.' Josh gave Sean and Colin a cup of coffee. "What do you want to drink Zoey?" asked Josh. "Um, I'll grab some myself." said Zoey.

"Hey Sam sent her location." Ginnifer jumped up from the couch. 'Happy. Where is she?' asked Josh. He immediately walked over to Ginnifer. "She's in front of the snack bar." said Ginnifer. 'Happy. We also have to have dinner in a moment.' said Josh. "Ah, let's all order something." suggested Sean. "I'm sure the kids will like it too." Said Sean. Josh and Ginnifer looked at each other briefly. 'Oke, it's fine!' They agreed.
