Chop... chop... chop...

The sound of a knife hitting wood echoed through the house, catching the attention of four year old Abby who peeked into the kitchen where Katelyn was cutting apples. The young girl walked over, standing on her stool as she looked at her curiously.

"Auntie-Katelyn, what are you doing?" Wondered Abby, glancing at the apples before looking at the blue-haired girl.

"Making an afternoon snack."

"Apples? A snack? Auntie-Katelyn, popcorn is a snack, not apples."

"Apples can be a snack too. Besides, I looked for popcorn, you don't have anyways. I won't make you eat any if you don't want to, but apples sound good to me."

Katelyn looked at Abby, taking her eyes off what she was doing for a second, just long enough for the knife to slip and cut the tip of her finger. Katelyn hissed loudly, putting the knife down on the counter before sucking on the tip of her finger. After a moment she pulled it out of her mouth and looked at it. "Well, poop."

"Oh no!" Abby said, taking Katelyn's hand and dragging the older female into the living room and sitting her on the couch. "Don't worry! I'll help you! Stay here, I'm going to go get the band-aids!"

"Abby, you don't need to-."

"I want to! Stay here!" Abby said, then ran up the stairs into the bathroom.

Katelyn sighed, but did as the young girl told her to do. She found it was easier not to argue with her, and after a few moments Abby came back with a first-aid kit. Abby then sat next to Katelyn and pulled a "Buggs Bunny" bandage out of it's box before putting it around her bleeding finger.

After that though, it turned into a game of "Doctor", and on every scratch, every bruise, and every scar Abby put a bandage over it, until the blue haired girl looked like one bit band-aid Monster.

"I'm hom-what are you two lovely ladies doing?" Jeffory asked with a chuckle when he saw what was going on in the living room couch.

"I-I um..." Katelyn began, a blush forming on her face.

"Auntie-Katelyn cut herself when she was cutting apples! So I became a doctor to make her all better! See Daddy she's all better now."

"I can see that. Good job, Abby, I'm very happy that you're here to take care of her." Jeffory said, walking towards Katelyn and sitting next to her. "Are you alright, Katelyn?"

"I'm alright." Katelyn said, still blushing, "I'll buy you new band-aids, I promise."

"Don't worry about it, Katelyn. It's alright so long as you're okay. That's all that really matters."

"Your turn, Daddy!" Giggled Abby, making both adults turn to look at her.

"For what, baby?"

"I want to play as your doctor now." Abby smiled.

"Okay, okay. But only if we can play as your doctor when you're done."

"Okie dokie!" Abby agreed with a large smile.
