Sarah sat on the front porch, sipping a tea. She watched some kids playing across the street.
"I am the king of the universe!" The little boy yelled with a cardboard sword.
"And I'm the queen!" A little girl pops out of the bushes, wearing a dress. "And I am going to KILL YOU!!" The little girl started to chase the little boy but tripped. She started to cry, holding her knee.
"Malorie! Are you okay?" The little boy asked, dropping his sword and running back to his sister.
"I-I scraped my knee!!"
"Mom's not home! What are we going to do?" Sarah smiled, sitting her tea down and starting to walk across the street.
"Do you guys need help?" Sarah asked, bending down to their height.
"Yes, ma'am." She looked at the little girl's knee.
"You got your knee good! I'll be right back with the first-aid kit!" Sarah ran back into the house, passing Brendon.
"What are you doing?" Brendon asked, following her.
"That girl across the street fell and banged her knee, and her parents' aren't home." She grabbed the first-aid kit and ran back outside. "Okay, I'm back." She opened it up, pulling out a spray bottle. "This will sting a little, sweetheart." Sarah sprayed the rubbing alcohol on the little girl's knee. "So, what are your guy's names?"
"That's Malorie and mine is Robbie. What's yours, miss?"
"Sarah! It's nice to meet the both of you." Malorie smiled when Sarah put the band-aid on. They all looked in the driveway when their mom pulled in.
"What happened?" She asked, walking over to them.
"Malorie fell and hurt her knee, but Sarah came over with this kit and helped!" Their mom looked at Sarah and smiled.
"Well, thank you for helping her!" She helped Malorie up.
"Ah, no problem! I was just sitting on my porch, and they needed help!" Sarah shook the mom's hand and walked back to the house.
"Your motherly instincts are kicking in!" Brendon said, standing in the doorway.
"They are, aren't they?" Brendon smiled, walking back into the house. Sarah grabbed her tea and walked back in, seeing Brendon sit on the couch.
"You know, one day our kid is going to play out in the yard. Playing with frisbees, jumping rope, everything." Brendon looked at Sarah. "I am determined to give our baby the most normal life possible. Public school, no tours, we treat it like we were as kids. Normal everyday people."
