Under The Blossom Tree

Chapter Tres

Once I got home I was greeted with my aunt's dog, Shrew. I assumed my aunt was in the shower because Shrew was the only one downstairs. Shrew knocked me down and started licking my face. His golden fur felt so soft up against my face. He was a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Komondor. So he is covered with fur, giant, and has the most beautiful and well groomed fur on the planet. Silently I got up and set my stuff on the table. Then I walked upstairs with Shrew right behind me. I lied down on my bed, and fell asleep thinking about coda.

The following morning I woke up and headed downstairs. My aunt Maybelle was cooking bacon and Pancakes. She saw me all of a sudden and ran over to me. She hugged me so hard that I couldn't breathe. I could kinda make out her muffled voice, "Hello sweetie! I haven't seen you in ages! Want some pancakes?" I didn't reply just in case if she was offering me something rotten. Aunt Maybelle let go and asked again, "pancakes, my dear?" "Oh yeah!" I replied, "I thought you said something else." She walked over to the toaster and pulled out five pancakes. "Auntie, I think that's-" " Your 14 and growing! Your fine." Aunt Maybelle interrupted. "Where's Sherw?" I asked. Maybelle replied, "Probably lying down on the floor somewhere, I put a bow tie on him" She laughed. I started to get up from the table and walk towards the living room. My aunt yelled after me, "Get back here and eat your pancakes!" "Fine!" I smiled. I went back to the kitchen table and had a  lovely breakfast with my aunt. After that I headed back to the hospital hoping for good news.
