I eat finish the breakfast Kristen made for me and start cleaning the house. In the mid afternoon I make some food. What if he never ate the hospital food and is hungry. With that pride and ego he has I'm pretty sure he won't eat the food.

"One step at a time, baby"  I hear a voice from outside the corridor.

"Jeez mother. I know how to walk. You don't need to go on like I'm an infant" Vally says. His  finally back. And his back with his mother. I look at myself and hope I look presentable.

I am wearing my yellow summer dress and have put my hair in a bun. Fixing the pillows on the couch the door opens. "Easy my lion" His father says. Okay seems like he bought along with him his whole family.

"We all can't enter at once. You move" His mother says. She looks exactly like Vally. Her nose and ears. Even her hair is just like his. She is so beautiful.

"Good afternoon. Mr and Mrs Carter" I say when they enter. His mother is standing at his left with his arm around her and his father at his right with his arm around him for balance.

"Desiree please..We divorced" she says rolling her eyes.

"Good afternoon,  Brittney. You've grown so much since I had last seen you" Mr Carter says smiling at me. At least my welcoming wasn't bad for him. My eyes lock with Vally's and he smiles.

"Mother, meet Brittney. Brittney meet my mother Desiree" He introduces us. I give my hand out for her to shake but she just looks at it and smiles. Vally gives her a scary look and she shakes my hand.

"Please come through" I say gesturing for them to come through. Vally let's go off they shoulder and they take a seat on the couch.

"Vally, I was so worried..i thought you left me already. I was going crazy. I lost my mind. I'd lose myself if anything ever happened to you. Please don't do that again" I say hugging him and taking in the smell of his shirt. I missed this more then anything in the world. I wish i could just stop time and stay in this position for eternity.

"Oww. Not so tight cake" he says whining with a  smirk. I let go of him and see that he has a broken arm. How could I have missed that?.

"I promise to not scare you again. But that should be the least of our worries" he says looking at his parents who are sitting and giving each other dirty looks.

"Are they going to be that of a problem?" I ask crossing my arms and looking at them.

"Worse" he says and walks over to them. I follow behind him and sit next to him. They start talking about Lorraine's engagement and I keep quiet as I got no say in this.

"You guys must be hungry?. I'll dish up some food" I say getting up the moment they stop talking and a weird atmosphere circulates us.

"You need to take some medication after eating" I hear his mother say. After dishing up for them we all sit in the kitchen and eat.

"She cooks. Not bad after all" his mother says taking the first spoon. I stare at her so I can get a reaction. I am so afraid of this woman. She makes me get goosebumps. I want her to make believe that I can take care of her son and that's why I cooked the best meal I could find online.

"This is delicious Brittney, can I have some more" his father asks. I stand up but i am stopped by Desiree.

"He never finished his food first. He should finish it first and then you dish up more.. sit down princess" she says. I look at Mr Carter and his staring at Desiree. If looks could kill she'd be 6 feet underground.

I sit down and wait for them to finish eat. When they all done I take the dishes out and put them in the dishwasher. "You need to drink them with water. It's much safer" Vally's mother takes the glass of water and feeds Vally.
