Cherry Ann

Chapter 10.1 Stronger

~Friday December 2nd~

II woke the next few weeks feeling better each day. It had been a month and my belly was growing. The doctor said I could get out of bed and walk around my room for short amounts of time.

So much had happened, we hadn't been back to the human world so I didn't know what was happening with the Killers. Tack knew, but I didn't ask, I didn't want to know. My parents were never found in the crash the plane had caught fire and only a few bodies were distinguishable. No one in my old town knew they were even on the plane. As far as they knew we moved to Europe.

Mrs. Resort put together a small memorial to honor my parents in the family tree room. It was sweet of her. I was able to go down there, Tack had to carry me, but I was able to see the photos and put flowers by them.

Tack was allowed to stay with me every night. He woke up every morning and kissed my growing belly and kissed me. This morning was a bit different.

"Good morning my love I have very good news to tell you."

"What."

"You are strong enough that the doctor said we can marry whenever you want."

"Oh! Let's do it today." I almost jumped with happiness.

"Okay okay." He laughed. "I thought you might say that so I arranged it, but you need to stay calm. Don't get too worked up."

"I'll be calm." I took a few deep breathes.

"Well I will have to go now I shouldn't see the bride before the wedding."

"Go get out." I laughed as I pushed him away.

Tack left laughing and Charlotte came in with a tray of food. She and I had become good friends she would play cards and board games with me when Tack had to be away. We would watch movies and talk for hours.

"Good morning Cherry how are you and the baby?"

"Hungry!" I smiled she helped me out of bed and over to the table so I could eat. I was stronger, but needed help walking from time to time.

"Once you have eaten we will start getting you ready. With your permission the wedding will take place in your room so you don't have to go down stairs."

"That will be fine I don't think I would make it all the way down. I still can't make it across the room by myself."

"Well it is a big room." she smiled.

"Thank you for trying to make me feel better, but I know I am still weak."

"The doctor told Mrs. Resort that you are improving and that within the next month you might be strong enough to start the change."

"Well that is good I am so happy you spy for me they don't tell me anything."

"Tack wants to, but the doctor doesn't want you to get excited and all worked up."

"Well that just go to show that they don't know me very well."

"They are just being cautious. Excitement seems to wear you out rather quickly. Tack had to beg the doctor and his mother to permit the wedding. They are worried that it will be to much for you."

"Well I am keeping myself calm the lavender helps me. So, I will do my best to stay relaxed."

"Would you like to take a bath now?"
