Mandy POV. 

I woke up one morning finding a few kids starring at me, startling me in the process. "Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you." Said a young girl with solid black hair and dark blue eyes . She must be a pre-teen cause she had a young innocent looking face. "Kids, what did I tell you about coming in here? Your father and I had told you kids to not disturb her. We know it's been a week and you were all anxious but she is still sick. Now scooch out and let your father and I take care of her." Said Sarah who came in the room. I had been on bed rest for a week, I slept a lot and was warm and bathed very night by Sarah. Adam would come in and massage my feet and head. 

I slept for hours today and just would fall back on my pillow if I tried to get out of bed at all. At one point I woke up and found that I had wet the bed so Sarah came in and helped clean it up. All I could do was apologize over and over but she said it was fine she wasn't mad or anything which I was glad she wasn't. 

She sat down on the bed and Adam came in shortly after. "How are you feeling dear?" She asked while feeling my forehead. "I feel ok. So those are your kids?" I asked. "Yes, You'll get to meet them soon, sorry they scared you before you could even get the chance to meet them properly. I've told them to not bother you I don't know how many times but you know how kids don't answer. But when you are ready jut let us know dear. But for now I brought you some breakfast waffles and some fruit. You don't have to eat it all if you are still too sick to eat honey but I do want you to try and eat some of it. I'll be back up to fetch your plate and wash it." "Ok mom." I caught myself hearing myself speak those words to Sarah. She stopped in her tracks and turned and looked at me with a warm smile. "You just call me mom Mandy dear?" She asked smiling. "Yeah, I did. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." I said hoping that she wouldn't see the blush in my cheeks. 

"Oh honey it' quite alright. In fact you are my daughter. You are a part of our family now so I do call you my daughter." Then Sarah did something that I had wanted for a long time from someone in years. She hugged me and then she kissed the top of my head before telling me to eat and leaving the room. 

(This part won't be Mandy's pov.)

"How did it go?" Adam asked Sarah. "She called me mom. I think after breakfast if she is up to it we will let her meet the kids and her husband. I just hope she won't be upset. But I think we should let them see each other as a couple and not as a brother and sister." Sarah said laughing. 

"Yes. Well let's give her some time to eat and then we'll be up there together to let her decide if she'd like to meet the kids and her future husband." Adam said smiling. "Yes." So Adam and Sarah sat together eating their breakfast while the kids were all in the living room watching t.v. while eating their breakfast on the rug. 

When breakfast was over Sarah had taken everybody's plates and cups to the kitchen sink running the hot water and soap before turning it off to let them soak. She and Adam went upstairs to see Mandy had eaten all of our food and drank all of her apple juice. "It was delicious mom thanks." She said smiling. "Well, well, well, so you are calling my wife mom now? What about me?" Adam said laughing. "Dad, I never had any real parents so why not call you that? " I said laughing. 

(Continuing Mandy's POV.)

After sitting and talking with Sarah and Adam or should I say mom and dad, they told me if I was ready to meet the other kids they would bring them in. "Yes I feel well enough to meet them but to not play or anything." I said. It was hard for me  to still get out of bed and walk anywhere. 

"We do have two younger kids, and there is one but we hope that maybe you'll like him. He is old enough to have a girlfriend." Said Sarah. "But, if you want me to be like a daughter wouldn't he be my brother?" I asked in curiosity. "Oh dear, well we have a family tradition and it's where when our older sons get to an age or daughters get to the grown up age we go and find them a wife or husband. We do not kidnap at all so you came here by choice. So we hope you'll like him. Said Sarah. 

This all sounded so weird but I wasn't going to question their tradition or beliefs after all they did save me and feed me and saved me from certain death. "Adam will be here with you while I get our two young kids for you to meet and you'll meet your other half ok?" Sarah asked but it sounded like she was telling me so I nodded my head yes. "Ok good." Adam sat with me in silence, I wasn't uncomfortable or nothing. I was happy to be here. 

"Thank you for saving me." I said smiling at him. "No need to thank me sweetheart. And look at that your cheeks on your face are forming now. You are getting a bit more meat on the bones now." She said smiling and laughing and playfully hitting me on the shoulder. "Ok are you ready Mandy?" Sarah asked. "Yes she's ready Sarah honey let them in." Adam shouted. 

With that two kids came in in front of Sarah. The girl that I saw from earlier was the first to approach me while there was an older looking boy with blonde hair and green eyes he was tall and muscular. "Mandy these are your brother and sister Melody age twelve and Ronald or Ron for short age fifteen." Said Sarah. 

Without a warning Melody came over hugging me. "Oh I'm so excited to have a sister now. I was so happy to finally meet you. I'm glad you are feeling better. Maybe when you can walk again we can play ball outside." She said talking loudly. "Tone down the voice dear, Mandy is still trying to adjust here." "Sorry mom." Melody said sweetly. "And I'm Ron, well you know my name. I'm your younger brother. But I'm tough so no worries I'll protect you. I'd keep you safe." I laughed a bit at this while taking his hand shaking it. He smiled and I smiled back. "Thanks. I've never had a baby brother or sister before now I do." I said almost tearing up. They hugged me and I was already dead and wanted to sleep again. "Ok kids out of the room. She needs her nap again. Let your older brother know that he can meet her later this evening if she is well." Said Adam. I laid back down shutting  my eyes. "Don't worry Mandy you'll like your future husband. Just rest for now shhh." I heard Adam speak before passing out in the bed.
