Ava:

I sit on the bed and lean back.

I was staring at the purple ceiling thinking about the old house, when it hit me. Well, it was more like a jabbing in the side.

I curl my knees up into my ribs, hoping it would let the pain ease, but it only made it worse.

"Mom." I try to say, but it only comes out in broken bits.

I take a sharp breath in and hold it, hoping if I stopped moving it'd go away.

I let my breath out and it was still there.

"Mom." I say, clearly this time.

I don't hear anyone, or anything.

But in no time my mom was in the doorframe and rushing over to me.

She sits me up and the unsuspecting pain goes away, some.

She keeps me sitting up and gives me another pill before telling one of my siblings to stay with me while she calls my doctor and makes supper.

That one sibling turned into all of them.

Chloe, Seth, and I are all on my bed while Luke and Ryan are on the floor messing with the fuzzy rug.

Being the youngest out of them all, to me it feels like they all actually want to be there for me, with me, and just here for me.

It was silent for a while until I decide I want to show them the "sun roof room", I'll think of a name for the room later.

"Hey, follow me." I say standing up and walking over to my closet.

"Ok..." Chloe says as the boys either shrug or stay silent.

I walk in the closet and they just stand there.

Ryan was the first one to follow me up the steps.

See we younger siblings have a special bond, so when we say something, the other usually follows up on it.

I sit down on the wooden flooring as Ryan walks around the sunroom in awe.

"Guys! Get up here!" Ryan calls down.

We were all up in the room for about five minutes until mom came yelling for us.

We all walk down the stairs and find our mom sitting on my bed.

"Why were you guys in the closet?" She asks us.

"There's another room up there." I explain and sit down beside her.

She nods And wraps an arm around me.

"Ok, so anyways, dinner is ready!" She exclaims.

"What is it?" Chloe asks.

"Lasagna." Mom replies before the boys dart out of room and get their food.

She looks over at me and questions if I want anything.

I do, so I follow Chloe down while mom does something.

We get to the bottom of the steps and she looks over at me and says,"I was wondering if you have any baby names..."

I smile and quickly give her a hug saying,"No, not at the moment, but I will think of some!"

She laughs and hugs me back.

We go into the kitchen and grab two plates and serve ourselves and walk to the boys.

We walk into the living room and see the boys surrounded, on the floor, watching whatever was on the TV.
