"It feels like Autumn.."

"no it's spring..."

"no cut that it's a mixture of both, the doctors say there's no more they can do all that is left is to further prevent the illness from spreading".

of course Arthur and Willow have been keeping me company as i sat  locked in my room, trying to the escape from the ever so evident pitying glances from Laurance and Lena.

they try their best  to look as if the news does not affect them but I was not born yesterday I can tell it bothers them as much as they tried hiding it.

Willow comes leaping up my lap purring as if to keep away any of the sadness I so desperately was trying to hide . Arthur  follows in the same direction and tries lying on my boney cold hands as if he knew they needed heat.

i looked down affectionatly petting my children thinking,
pondering
this was really it these were really my heirs . I laughed bitterly .

"of course you might be thinking me mad, for thinking these animals are  my children and you may think me mad  to think they would inherit all of this .

of course they would  not".

and then it struck  as i slowly sat up from lying in bed  .

i needed an heir, since my end was  soon  to come .

" yes an heir" I thought proudly

"but how on earth was i to get one or perhaps.." the wheels in my brain had been turning and turning .

"ah" i had triphamily thought, with that i stood as fast a could with my iv pole  in hand and went to the desk.

i had written my idea  down in hopes to not forget once fully had been done i had rang up Laurence.

soon it would commence

"ah yes Madam ?"
"Laurence ring up the chauffer, and get ready we  have business to attend to" i spoke

"of course madam".

"hmm, yes mum i do understand that it is going to be challenging to balance everything but i need to" 

it had been cold ,windy , rainy and yes anything to describe unpleasant weather would be this day.

As I tried to close my old VW Beetle car door, I held a phone in one hand and documents in the other

"Listen mom, you're right, I'll be back for dinner. I have to leave now -- it's urgent."

When it comes to African parents, that usually does it,
" how rude of me, hello I'm Sara King. I'm currently a third-year student at Westwood University, and I've come here because there's a job opening available, which let's just say I desperately need...well, ok maybe not desperately, but let's just say we need this job."

I had entered the little quiet reception that played faint jazz music .
I had shaken any of the loose water  droplets  that had fallen on my skin because well in true Sara fasion i completely forgot an umbrella and had ran across the parking lot.
