I finished setting up the guest room I picked for may brother. It was the same one as last time he was over, but I had to change out the sheets and blankets. It also needed a good dusting. It was late morning and he was due to show up any time now.
He was driving all the way down from Canada to give me my first real check up. He was staying the night here because we have a meeting we have to go to tomarrow. So instead of driving home or renting a hotel room he will be staying with me for the next week or so. Not that I cared too much, I love my bro.
After getting done with his room I double checked to make sure the room we were going to use as the med bay was in order. The bed was stripped of its sheets and had a plastic cover on. The closet was completely emptied along with the dresser, night stand, and desk. I made sure every light worked, the place was perfectly dusted, and the air purifier was working. Once I was sure the room was as close to a doctors office as possible I left.
I walked to the top of the stairs and shouted down. "Ivan! I wanna come down stairs!" He appeared from around the corner. "Whoa, were you waiting for me?"
"Da. I knew you would have been getting done soon, so I stayed close by." He told me as he helped me down.
"Thanks, you're a sweety." I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "So, what are you thinking for lunch? I want something sweet. Like fruit. Do we have any fruit?"
"Da. Their is some on the kitchen counter and some in the fridge." He said as I zoomed into the kitchen.
I'm not sure where he whent off to, but I was focusing on my fruit salad. I cut up apples, peaches, strawberries, and threw in some grapes and mulberries. I mixed in some cool whip for flavor. I finally put in a good dose of hot sauce. To my bowl, not the big bowl that had most of the fruit salad. Ivan hates it when I mix anything 'weird' in with the main pot of food. Not that I blamed him, I would get annoyed too eventually.
I prepared my bowl and had set it on the table when I heard a door open. My head perked up in curiosity. I wasn't sure if it was the front door or if Ivan closed a different door in the house. I listened for additional sounds to see if I can figure out what door closed. Oh so quietly I heard the shuffling of boots and a bag being set down. Mystery solved.
"Brother!" I shouted from my seat.
I bolted out of my seat and ran down the hall to my brother. He looked up in surprise when he saw me come running down the hall. He didn't even have a chance to move before I all but crashed into him. He let out a loud pot when our bodies collided. It wasn't hard since I had to be careful, but it got my excitement across non the less.
"Mattie bro! It's so good to see you!" I said loudly with a big grin across my face.
"It's good to see you too Alfie." He said with a small laugh as he patted my back. "Are you ready to see your baby?"
My excitement picked up ten fold. "Oh my God! Yes!" I shouted, nearly squealing. "Come on, let's go! I have a room all picked out for you and everything!"
"Okay, okay." He laughed. "Let me picked up my stuff first. We can't see the baby without an ultrasound. And I'm sure Ivan wants to see too. How about you tell me which room I need to set up in and you go find the baby daddy? Okay?"
"Okay! Strait up the stairs, the one to the left of across from the stairs." I said pointing.
"Got it." He nodded with a small smile. "Now go find your love bug. I'll be waiting for you." He set off up the stairs.
I stayed put for a moment thinking about where he would habe gone. He followed me downstairs, and I didn't hear him go back up, so he has to be on the ground level. There are only two rooms he would have gone to on the ground. The art room or the library. I checked the art room first since it was closest. I looked inside, but he wasn't here. Their wasn't even any evidence that he was here at all today. Everything was put away in its proper place, nice and neat.
