No Emotion: Lost Without a Soul

chapter 5: longest time home

Now finaly home once again i have have a normal life.
Its the morning after i went home and the house smells deliouse. i wake up to the wounderful smells of pancakes and sausages. right arm up, left arm up, right leg out, left leg out. my strech pattern i do every morning when i wake up.
sitting next to my crib is a baby monitor to detect when i am fussy or making noise. so i make a kinda giggle noise trying to tell my family in the kitchen that i am awake.
"mom, jerise is awake!" i hear sam yell up the stair to my mother in her room upstairs.
my mom walks down staris to come and get me. she walks in like a zombie.
"hmmumuuhhh..." mother grons.
after seeing her walk in all dropey i decided to cry. my brother, noah, runs in to see mom still in her sleep chloths.
"are you ok mom?" asks noah, "why dont you take some medacine and go back to sleep. we will take care of jerise." mom turned around and went back up stairs and to sleep. noah came in and grabed me. walking, we went to the kitchen where everyone was eathing breackfast except mother and fauther.
"are you hungery jerise?" asked my sister with a giggle. i gave a little smile telling her yes. noah put me down in my high chair so i could eat breackfast.
allison comes over with a plate of pancakes and a bib for me. when she sat down she pulled out a jar of baby food from her back pocket. i didnt see the food when she walked over.
"sorry jerise, you cant have big food yet," allison told me because i made a frowney face when brought out the baby food, "it's ok. soon you will be able to eat our food." allison put the bib on me and opened my food. she began to eat her pancakes and feed me my food at the same time! she must be magical i thought as i sat there in front of her watching her eat her pancakes.
"open wide." says sam, "other wise your food wont fit in your mounth." sam walked over and decided to help out allison feed me by saying open wide ever time before my food reached my mouth. it made breackfast more enjoyable for me.
after i finished all my food, the rest of the day went by realy fast. next thing i knew it was bed time. "good night jerise," said all my siblings at once, "sweet dreams."
the next few days were boring as can be. i dont rember doing much of anything. so i will skip ahead to when something intersting happened.
september 30, 1995 is when i went back to the hospital and came home on october 7, 1995. now it is early december and we are preparing for chrismas. everyone is shopping alot and decorateing everything all preaty. our tree, a tall, 12 foot ganeric crismass tree, is all covered in lights and ornaments. also pictures of us from that year. our house has never been so busy before.
"your fist crismas at home jerise," says ramsey, "are you excited?" i giggled with glee. i was ready for my first crismas. prepared to see all my relatives and my siblings friends. cant wait for crismas to come.
* * *
weeks past and it is now crismas eve.
"are you ready," asks the twins, "for your first crismas with the family?" life feels great. all my relatives are just showing up to our house and dinner smell wounderful. this couldnt get any better.
hours past of talking and just having fun. i manedged to stay awake the whole time; and before we knew it it was crismas. my frist crismas at home has finaly came.
"merry crismas," sreams every person in my house who knows how to speak.
"time for presants!" yells my mom while directing us to the huge tree with over a hundred presants under it. first my cousens and aunty/uncles open their presants. then my great grand parents. then my gradparents. finaly my siblings, me, and mom and dad last.
we had the best presants ever. everone got what they wanted and no one complained about any of their gifts. it was so far my only and best crismas ever.
"your longest time home, huh jerise?" says grandma as she walks over. i guess so i think. this is a very big time for me now. i have never been home so long before. i wonder how long i will be home without having to go to the hospitl for an emergency. hope my luck doent run out.
